I’m 5’1″, and These Are the Best Petite Autumn Picks I’ve Found

September 02, 2021 at 06:01AM As a petite woman, I often dread dressing for the cooler months. More layers usually equate to more trips to the tailor, as there’s always another billowing sleeve take up or trouser leg to hem. (Of course, I’ve discovered many a DIY hack in my time and can’t tell you how useful iron-on hemming tape can be when you’re in a bit of a rush.)However, this autumn, I’m attempting to keep my alterations to a minimum and instead invest in clothes that actually fit to begin with. As more and more petite-specific options become available, it’s easier to find items that not only fit my stature but also genuinely adhere to my personal style. Gone are the days of petite options being relegated to a small selection of jeans styles at Topshop. Now, plenty of brands exist that are catering…

10 Early 2000s Nail Trends We Kinda, Sorta Never Stopped Loving

September 02, 2021 at 06:00AM You might think Instagram sparked the golden age of manicures. But looking back, it turns out the early aughts walked so the 2010s could run. The new millennium started out with some late-’90s mall relics like frosted polish and French manicures but became more adventurous as time went on when Chanel’s gone-but-never-forgotten Black Satin polish hit the scene. And things just got more over-the-top from there.But like so many other nostalgic fashion and beauty trends, we suddenly want to wear them all over again. In fact, the biggest nail trends of 2021 are remarkably similar to those that took over 2001. To prove it, we’re taking a walk down manicure memory lane with Brittney Boyce, celebrity nail artist and founder of Nails of LA, and including ways to re-create the looks right this second. Best of all, the polishes…

The Colors That Dominated the Fall 2021 Runways Are Here

September 01, 2021 at 11:45PM To put it plainly, last season’s collections were cautiously optimistic. Designers stuck to basic silhouettes and a serene color palette of soothing powder blues, sage greens, and mellow corals for the most part. The result was like the Calm app in clothing form: a comforting sartorial message of hope amid a (very) turbulent year. And for the fall/winter 2021 season, that hope remains a constant with classic, muted shades like soft grays (as chic suiting at Vetements) and frosty pale pinks (as a bejeweled dress at Erdem). But the most startling difference this go-around is the blatant, unadulterated joy in the pieces, which manifested in bolts of brilliant yellows, fiery reds, and fuchsia - colors so fiercely bold and feminine, they could almost be seen as an affront to the sweats we’ve been living in for the past…

True Story: BTS Made Me Buy a Bucket Hat

September 01, 2021 at 10:30PM Like dreams and lime after tequila, fashion trends are meant to be chased. I’m a huge trend chaser and have been especially enamored with the nostalgia-soaked, Y2K flashbacks that have been exploding on the sartorial landscape. But bucket hats … I was skeptical. They were a 2000s flashback trend I wasn’t looking forward to doing again. I’m ready for inflatable furniture, mesh shirts in trippy rave patterns, nylon micro-shoulder bags, and colorful oval sunglasses, but something about bucket hats just wasn’t clicking for me. Maybe because I remember bucket hats as being pointedly not sexy. In my recent memory, they were just for floppy things dads wear fishing and babies wear to keep the sun at bay. And then, like most other things in my life, I was influenced by k-pop. I started noticing how often BTS wears…

Here It Is: The Ultimate Minidress Guide of 2021

September 01, 2021 at 09:30PM I am a dress person; if given the option, I would choose a dress over pants or shorts any day. I find them to be more comfortable, and I also like the way they look on me. Plus, they’re an outfit in and of themselves, so when I’m running late and have to leave the house quickly (which is more often than I’d like), a dress is an easy option I always turn to. When it comes to styles, I like lots of different shapes, but I own exclusively minidresses. They’re flirty and fun, they can be dressed up or down, and they make me feel youthful and vibrant. Minidresses can be worn any time of year, and if you’re transitioning from summer to fall, style them with tall boots or tights. I’ve done the hard work for…
