Friday Faves

Friday FavesOctober 01, 2021 at 06:24PM Hi friends! Happy Friday! What are you up to this weekend? I’m looking forward to sushi with some friends, an event for the girls’ school, and ALL the fall decorating. I wanted to drag everything out this past week, but didn’t end up getting the chance. Also, it makes me laugh to scroll Instagram and see pics of towering REAL pumpkins on doorsteps. They would last about 5 minutes here until the javelinas excitedly swarmed their pumpkin buffet. (Always the fake outdoor pumpkins. I painted that one years ago and I’m surprised how long it’s lasted!) It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! This is where I share some faves from the week and around the web. I always love to hear about your faves, too, so please shout out something you’re loving in the comments…

Laverne Cox’s Fabulous Plaid Gown Is a Not-So-Subtle Reminder That It’s *Finally* Fall

October 01, 2021 at 05:44PM Laverne Cox knows how to turn any street into her very own runway. On Sept. 30, the fabulous Promising Young Woman actress stepped out for the New York City Ballet’s Fall Fashion Gala in a stunning Christopher John Rogers gown where she struck many a pose before heading in for the event. Her yellow plaid gown featured a zipped-up corset top and a tulle-filled skirt that screamed it’s finally fall. She paired the outfit with Cicada Jewelry. As one of the cochairs for this year’s event, her festive look did not disappoint. Laverne was styled by Christina Joy Pacelli, who is to thank for many of the actress’s latest looks - including the silver pleated Johanna Johnson dress she wore to the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Opening Gala as well as the bright yellow Christina Ottaviano dress…

Lady Gaga Celebrated Her Album Launch in 2 Glamorous Gowns Designed by Her Own Sister

October 01, 2021 at 05:33PM Lady Gaga is practically the face of Old Hollywood glamour, so her recent looks during a performance celebrating the launch of Love For Sale, her new album with Tony Bennett, may come as no surprise. Yet they were extra special, as they were designed by her own sister, Natali Germanotta, and her new brand Topo Studio. The talented artist first entered the stage on Sept. 30 wearing a sheer, crystal-embellished number with feathers galore, then changed into a sleek velvet off-the-shoulder gown with glitter details. Both dresses featured leg slits so high, they offered a glimpse of Gaga’s unicorn tattoo paired with the words “Born This Way” on her thigh. Gaga shared photos from the performance to her Instagram on Thursday, writing, “It was a joy to sing for you today, thank you for watching online or joining…

Cardi B’s Fashion Week Outfits Light Up the Streets of Paris Like the Eiffel Tower

October 01, 2021 at 05:15PM If you pay careful attention to Cardi B’s Instagram Stories, then you likely enjoyed her dinnertime chatter with Offset. The new parents sat outside at Girafe Restaurant with views straight across to the Eiffel Tower, which was lighting up more often than usual on the night she chose to wear her glitter-all-over Chanel catsuit and beret. We’d argue that Cardi’s look on this particular evening shined brighter than any Paris landmark, but the outfits she wore in the days prior showed fierce competition. Cardi’s stylist Kollin Carter also dressed her in ornamental Schiaparelli gear and two Thierry Mugler gowns from the ‘90s archives that we still can’t stop thinking about. Cardi and Offset posed for their photographer Tomás Herold wherever they went, taking their couture parade to the streets of Fashion Week. Since we’re all excited to see…

Not to Be Dramatic, but These Old Navy Leggings Are Better Than My Fancy Ones

October 01, 2021 at 05:10PM They say a dog is a man’s best friend, and I believe leggings are a woman’s. The comfortable pants have become part of my everyday wardrobe (much to my wallet’s dismay), and I rarely ever wear anything else. Perfect for that athleisure look I opt for when I don’t know what to wear, leggings are the go-to piece I can count on for when I want to look just good enough yet put in little to no effort. Unfortunately, athleticwear usually comes with an unreasonable price tag, and while I have succumbed to paying the price a time or two, I can’t always justify buying overpriced leggings when other brands carry them for much less. I used to think that buying more affordable workout pants would mean that I would be risking the quality, but after trying a…
