5 Simple Shoes You Should Never Purge From Your Wardrobe

August 07, 2021 at 06:00AM I’ve already waxed poetic about the classic clothing items you should never purge from your wardrobe (like a blazer or skinny jeans), and that story generated so many conversations that I felt it might be helpful to expand into another wardrobe staple: shoes. While shoe trends come and go, there are some styles you can let go of with little chance you’ll want to wear them again (I’m looking at you, wedge sneakers), and there are other styles you’re guaranteed to regret within months of tossing them.Now I’m not talking about shoe styles that are totally thrashed. If you’ve worn a pair of shoes out past the point of repair, then, by all means, get rid of them. But if it’s one of the styles I’m about to discuss, do yourself a favor and replace them with a new pair…

This High-Street Shirt Is Being Picked Up by People in the Know

August 07, 2021 at 06:00AM There are various stylistic components that come into play to make an item of clothing look premium, and alongside dramatic silhouettes and heavyweight fabrics, I would have to say that unexpected prints are definitely a key factor. Just take Whistles’ short-sleeved shirt as an example: I spotted the piece within the brand’s ’new in’ section and was instantly drawn-in by the unusual map print, something I hadn’t seen anywhere else on the high street. It could have easily just stepped off the runway. My suspicions were confirmed when a handful of fashion-savvy women (Angela Scanlon included) posted pics of themselves wearing said shirt, and looking pretty stylish in the process. Made out of a silk-blend fabric and coming with a cool boxy fit, this is the sort of top that will instantly elevate your wardrobe basics, whether it’s black trousers or casual denim. I would tuck it into jeans and style with velcro sandals,…

Every Celeb Swears by Augustinus Bader Skincare, But Is It Worth the Splurge?

August 07, 2021 at 06:00AM When it comes to cult skincare there are few brands more hyped than Augustinus Bader. Despite only launching in 2018 with just two products—the now iconic The Cream and The Rich Cream—Augustinus Bader has amassed an impressively devout following of celebrities, makeup artists and beauty editors who all swear by the glow-boosting, skin-smoothing benefits of this covetable moisturiser. From Alexa Chung and Naomi Campbell to Hailey Bieber and Priyanka Chopra, basically every A-lister has a bottle of Augustinus Bader in the skincare rotation—and if they don’t then their makeup artist will. But at ÂŁ205 a pop for a bottle of moisturiser, it’s impossible to offer up a truly unbiased review of Augustinus Bader without mentioning the cost. Because, let’s be real, skincare with a 3-figure price tag just isn’t a realistic purchase for the vast majority of us. So, what makes Augustinus Bader worth…

Victoria MonĂ©t’s “Coastin” Is Sure to Be a Smash Hit, and So Is Her Groovy Minidress

August 06, 2021 at 09:59PM Victoria MonĂ©t released her latest song and she has a groovy new look to go along with it. The stylish 28-year-old released “Coastin’,” her first single since giving birth to her daughter, Hazel MonĂ©t Gaines, in February, and she decided to go back to the ‘70s with her outfit. For the video promo, Victoria wore a printed minidress that featured a white color and puffy sleeves. The dress’s bodice featured a retro square print in orange, yellow, and green. She styled the dress with a matching headband in the same print and a wide, white belt around her waist. She also wore a pair of statement earrings. Listen to the full song in the video ahead. (If you couldn’t tell from the retro VW van and funky bassline, the single is a love letter to California.) Then, get…

Lady Gaga’s Platform Boots Have Earned Her the Record For World’s Strongest Ankles

August 06, 2021 at 08:50PM Hello, Guinness World Records? I have a suggestion to make for your next book: Lady Gaga for the title of World’s Strongest Ankles. The singer, actress, and fashion icon has used this summer as her unofficial campaign for the position, wearing a smattering of precariously tall platform boots that prove her ankles might secretly be made of steel. To be fair, Mother Monster has had sky-high shoes in her rotation for years - those meat-covered heels from the MTV VMAs still live rent-free in my brain nearly 11 years later - but it seems in recent weeks she’s resurrected her devotion to the cause. And it’s quite hard to ignore. Day after day, Gaga steps out in the Big Apple with her Big Platform Energy (BPE, peripheral to though not to be confused with BDE) on full display.…

Lady Gaga Just Topped a Week’s Worth of Outrageously Good Look With This Dress

August 06, 2021 at 08:20PM If you look up “dazzling” in the dictionary, there’s a picture of Lady Gaga in this Georges Hobeika gown. She’s been busy turning the streets of Manhattan into her own personal runway, but this custom dress - her first time in Georges Hobeika - which she wore after her performance with Tony Bennett for their special at Radio City Music Hall, was the cherry on top of the tiered couture confections she’s been serving up all week. Our eyes popped when we spotted Gaga leaving the concert with musician Michael Bearden. Featuring a plunging neckline and all-over crystals and sequins, the gown is giving us no-holds-barred, megawatt glamour. Our only question is, did people even know Tony Bennett was there? Read on to see Gaga’s stunning appearance ahead? Continue Reading… Author Hannah Weil McKinley | citywomen.co Selected by…

Knix Launches Ashley Graham-Approved Activewear

August 06, 2021 at 07:42PM It’s fair to say we could all use a bit of a confidence boost. As it turns out, 18 months of binge-drinking, -eating, -watching, and -sitting doesn’t do wonders for your self-esteem. Add being locked inside for much of that time with only your thoughts and a looming pandemic, and many of us are coping with mental and emotional scars. As we slowly make our re-entry into (hopefully) post-pandemic life, a new form of power dressing has emerged: activewear. Gone are the days of relying on shoulder pads and pinstripes to channel your inner boss lady — comfort-driven dressing has become a work-from-home staple (thanks, Zoom calls!) and an unexpected source of empowerment. The most recent addition to the activewear category is Knix Active, an assortment of workout-ready gear from Knix that includes their iconic leakproof technology (hello,…

Lori Harvey’s Sexy Outfit Reminded Us It’s Time to Dust Off Our Espadrille Sandals

August 06, 2021 at 06:01PM Allow Lori Harvey to remind you of a classic summer sandal: the espadrille. The stylish star, who is constantly giving us all the *feels* with her steamy couple pictures with boyfriend Michael B. Jordan, was seen shopping in Los Angles wearing a pair of chic white sandals. She looked absolutely incredible in a casual yet fashion-forward outfit consisting of a gray body-hugging tank dress paired with the shoes. At first glance, her sandals looked like flip-flops until she turned to the side and we realized they actually had straps along the heel, too! Lori’s simple outfit was pretty perfect for a day of shopping. She accessorized her tank dress with a pair of silver hoop earrings and a white mini Bottega Veneta bag that matched her sandals. Keep reading to check out her breezy summer look from all…
