Leatherology’s Small Willow Wallet Crossbody Makes the Perfect Holiday GiftNovember 04, 2022 at 04:10PMI’ve been in dire need of an evening bag. While I love my leather fanny pack and backpack for daytime, come night, these accessories don’t do my refined outfits justice.

See Where Your Favorite Project Runway Contestants Are NowNovember 04, 2022 at 03:10PMSince the hit reality show “Project Runway” first aired in 2004, we’ve watched season after season of would-be designers sewing, cutting, and crying. We’ve also seen them struggle through “unconventional” challenges, initiate model walk-offs, bore Nina Garcia, and “make it work” no matter the fashion emergency. While Heidi Klum said “auf wiedersehen” to the show in 2017, along with Tim Gunn (they both went on to helm Amazon Video’s version of a sewing competition series, “Making the Cut”), the show’s popularity remains strong. The series’s 17th season premiered back on its original network, Bravo, with an all-new panel that featured season four winner Christian Siriano and supermodel Karlie Kloss. Since then, designer Brandon Maxwell and journalist Elaine Welteroth joined as judges in season 18, with Kloss stepping down from the official…

11 New H&M Arrivals to Stock Up on This Month - All Under $100November 04, 2022 at 01:00PMIn a world as fast-paced as ours, it’s nice to have certain constants that we can rely on, even when everything else around us is changing. One of those constants, at least for me, is the reliability of shopping at H&M - bear with me here. Of course there are far more thoughtful things that I’m grateful for on the day to day (my family, health, cats, etc.), but for the sake of argument (and shopping), I also can’t minimize all that H&M does actually add to my life (including a bevy of stylish seasonal pieces!). Regardless of what I’m in the market for, I can always turn to H&M to meet my shopping needs. Whether I’m jet setting off on a trip and need some…
