The Beanie Is My Winter Essential, and It’s Going to Become Yours, Too

October 19, 2021 at 10:45PM I am a firm believer that if your head is cold, you are cold. That’s why a hat is an absolute essential come winter. As much as I love accessories, though, hats are so tricky. I love the way hats look on other people, but every time I put one on, I feel like an imposter. Enter, the beanie. It’s the one hat that really looks good on everyone, and it'a a cozy accessory that keeps you super warm; there’s nothing not to like. Now that the temperature has dipped, I won’t leave the house without one; honestly, sometimes I even wear one inside. If you’re looking for a great beanie, shop these 19 picks. We found options that are neutral and go with everything, as well as colorful picks that add a pop of color to any…

The Viral Christian Girl Autumn Meme is Back, and So is “Basic” Fashion

October 19, 2021 at 10:34PM Most social media users are well-versed in Hot Girl Summer. Coined by rapper Megan Thee Stallion in May 2019, the term is synonymous with someone who minds their business, does what makes them happy, and doesn’t care what others think. The feel-good phrase was widely popular in summer 2019, but as the season came to a close, it led to the birth of a new viral meme: Christian Girl Autumn. The meme was started by user @lasagnabby, named Gio, who wrote in a since-deleted tweet, “​​Hot Girl Summer is coming to an end, get ready for Christian Girl Autumn 🍂😍.” Attached to the tweet was a picture of two white women with very similar autumnal-style outfits — think skinny jeans, oversized cardigans/sweaters, infinity scarves — and long, perfectly curled hair. Gio later told Buzzfeed they found the photo…

Zendaya is the CFDA Awards Fashion Icon for 2021, Obviously

October 19, 2021 at 10:03PM Too much Zendaya in your newsfeed recently? Well, too bad, because we’re convinced that there is no such thing. To be completely fair, if it were any other celebrity we would surely be over it by now. After all, it’s nearly impossible to find a corner of the fashion world that the 25-year-old actor hasn’t reached in 2021. But Zendaya has somehow been able to overcome the negative side effects that often accompany overexposure and remains a fresh and exciting face even after extensive coverage — which is why it came as no surprise to learn that the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) will be honouring her with the title of 2021 Fashion Icon at the upcoming awards show.

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.

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.
