October 19, 2021 at 09:32PM If you’re one of the brave souls attempting to purchase a holiday Nap Dress from Hill House during tomorrow’s launch, then good luck — you’re going to need it. Founder and CEO Nell Diamond’s prairie girl-meets-Bridgerton brand has become one of the most coveted clothing items to ever come out of social media. Initially launched in 2016 with a focus on bedding, everything changed for the NYC label in August 2019 with the introduction of the Nap Dress. View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Hill House Home (@hillhouse) The premise is simple: a cotton dress made up of a tiered layered skirt, smocked bodice and ruffled sleeves, available in various romantic patterns and colours. But therein lies the beauty. A comfortable dress that allows its wearer to go bra-free while still looking put together…

Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss And Claudia Schiffer Get the NFT Treatment in Ellen Von Unwerth Collection

October 19, 2021 at 09:10PM German photographer Ellen von Unwerth is known globally for her ability to capture her female subjects in playful yet provocative moments. Her vibrant images have an energy that is almost palpable, and now, they’re coming to life even more with a new venture into world of NFTs as iconic images of three of our favourite ‘90s supermodels — Claudia Schiffer, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss — will be sold as moving, digitized videos. In von Unwerth’s Supermodel Series, five famous images taken in the late ‘80s and ‘90s are transformed into animated artworks via NFTs, or non-fungible tokens. “Non-fungible” means the digital items are unique and one-of-a-kind, and thus cannot be replaced. The works will be auctioned off by celebrity NFT platform Cryptograph on October 21, and can be purchased using the cryptocurrency Ethereum. What a time to…

Sweet Potato Rice Pudding

Sweet Potato Rice PuddingOctober 19, 2021 at 07:00PM A delicious twist on rice pudding, this sweet potato rice pudding is packed full of healthy ingredients and plenty of flavor! This is one of those unique recipes that could be eaten for dessert or breakfast! Most rice puddings aren’t the healthiest (loaded with cream and sugar) but my version is gluten-free and vegan and could definitely pass for a healthy breakfast.  If you’ve never had rice pudding before, you’re missing out! It’s similar to oatmeal but instead of cooking oats, you’re cooking rice. I added mashed sweet potato to my recipe for a fun fall twist but you can skip that if you just want a classic recipe.  Here’s What You Need brown rice – I use short grain brown rice. You could use long-grain brown or white rice but you’ll need to adjust…

Coach Admits To Damaging Unsold Bags, but the Industry-Wide Practice is Nothing New

October 19, 2021 at 07:45PM “So excited to show you all the Coach purses I bought,” Tiktoker Anna Sacks (aka The Trash Walker) says, presenting bag after bag to her viewers. “As you can see, they’re all slashed, which is Coach’s policy. This is what they do with unwanted merchandise. They order an employee to deliberately slash it so that no one can use it.” @thetrashwalker #coach #donatedontdump #retailmademe #dumpsterdiving #shopping #climatechange #haul #free #eco #recycle #donate #nyc #thrift #repair #fashion #style ♬ Waltz of the Flowers – The Nutcracker – Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky The New York City-based environmental activist posted the now-viral TikTok — since amassing some 2.9 million views — on October 10 after purchasing the products from Texas-based influencer and dumpster-diver Tiffany She’ree. Soon after, the news was amplified by Diet Prada, a fashion watchdog Instagram account, and widespread online…

Not to Be Dramatic, but This Affordable Old Navy Shacket Is My New Favorite Fall Staple

October 19, 2021 at 07:05PM Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Lauren Harano Let’s be honest, the best thing about fall is the fashion. While sundresses will surely be missed, there’s nothing better than throwing on jeans with a sweater, booties, and a cute jacket. The outfit options are endless, and there are hundreds of ways to style a seasonal jacket - that is, once you’ve found the perfect one. And, lucky for me, I found just that! After nothing more than a quick glance, I knew the Old Navy Soft-Brushed Utility Shacket ($33, originally $65) was about to become part of my fall wardrobe for seasons to come. Light enough to wear when the weather decides to revert back to summer in the mid-afternoon, yet warm enough when the temperature changes back to fall after the sun dips behind the horizon, this jacket…

Dua Lipa’s Denim-on-Denim Look Includes a Butterfly Halter With a Bodice Made of Wings

October 19, 2021 at 06:19PM Dua Lipa, queen of all trends Y2K, is collecting butterfly pieces for her wardrobe left and right. Perhaps it started when she hit the Grammys red carpet in this sparkling, slitted Versace gown back in March, which she then followed up at the afterparty with a chain-mail minidress in the same motif. But these days, her stylist Lorenzo Posocco must be sourcing high and low across the internet, even for Dua’s casual wear. If her one-shoulder butterfly crop top from Masha Popova is not enough to confirm the bug is abuzz, this denim Blumarine set, hailing from the label’s spring/summer 2022 runway, should convince you. The performer and Elton John collaborator outfitted herself in the full catwalk ensemble, metal chain belt and all, accessorized with a Mowalola trucker hat; rimless, lavender translucent lenses; and butterfly earrings that scurried…

The Banana Republic x Charles Harbison Collection Is Finally Here, and It’s Jaw-Dropping!

October 19, 2021 at 06:05PM Harlem’s Fashion Row, an organization dedicated to creating opportunities for BIPOC designers, has partnered with Banana Republic to launch a sustainable design competition, and this year’s winner is architect turned fashion designer Charles Harbison. For the New York-based artist, it’s a very momentous announcement. Having worked in the fashion industry for years, Harbison told Yahoo, he had sworn off competitions and vying for money and significance in those platforms. “I had really grown quite disillusioned. I felt that I was overlooked a few times for things that we were quite set up to win. Judges would even come to me to tell me that, and to inform me about politics that were outside of my knowledge that we’re determining a lot of those decisions,” Harbison said. Fast forward to present day, and this win feels like a full-circle…
