Can a Cardio Junkie Learn to Love Strength Training?

April 05, 2022 at 07:55PM As someone who has always gravitated towards cardio, from dance as a kid to a runner and spin enthusiast as an adult, I’ve forever found strength training boring, often slacking off with my reps and using the lightest weights available (and I have the weak upper body and core to show for it). So when I was given the chance to try out the Peloton Guide, I was eager to find out whether this new gadget could turn me into a strength-training devotee, the kind who never misses leg day and who’s got a do-you-even-lift-bro attitude. After all, the Peloton Bike+ got the world (myself included) addicted to spinning at home, and the fitness company’s sales skyrocketed through the pandemic as a result (up to, well, *that* moment on the Sex and the City reboot). But can its…

Lori Harvey’s Silk Set Embodies the Night Luxe Aesthetic

April 05, 2022 at 07:24PM For a girls’ night out in West Hollywood, Lori Harvey opted for a sultry and effortlessly cool set by Jean Paul Gaultier. The two-piece design features a silky, relaxed blouse, which the Skn by LH founder left unbuttoned, and matching pants, both pieces splashed with a white-and-blue ombrĂ© city landscape. Accessorizing with a white Lady Dior handbag, a sparkly chain necklace, and black mid-heels, the model showed off her styling prowess on Instagram, writing, “Material Gworl ✨.” Consistent with her previous fashion moments, having recently styled a bra top with a cropped blazer for dinner, Harvey once again encapsulated the night luxe aesthetic, which has recently swept over TikTok and generated over 18.7 million views. “Night luxe is an aesthetic that centers around luxurious urban nightlife and the fashion that goes along with it,” Tiktok user @thedigifairy explains…

Why Lady Gaga’s Sheer Feathered Dress Holds Sentimental Value

April 05, 2022 at 06:20PM Lady Gaga has been sticking to a classic and elegant red carpet wardrobe this season. At the 2022 Grammys, she wore a total of three dresses, finishing the night in the most special design of all: a turquoise crepe-back-satin and custom dyed silk velvet gown from Topo Studio NY. Topo Studio is her sister’s, Natali Germanotta, design house, which offers full-service garment development from sketching to construction. Gaga’s intricately crafted Grammys look came personalized with an embroidered tag that read “Stef” and a detachable sheer feathered capelet speckled with rhinestones. Gaga played up the pops of silver with Tiffany & Co. flower earrings in platinum and 18k yellow gold with diamonds, plus a pair of metallic pointed-toe pumps. Prior to showing off her sister’s emerging label in the audience, Gaga performed “Love For Sale” and “Do I Love…

Lizzo’s Red YITTY Bodysuit Is the Definition of Stretchy and Comfortable

April 05, 2022 at 05:41PM Following the announcement of her new shapewear venture, YITTY, Lizzo has been unveiling some of the looks from her collection on Instagram. Most recently, the Grammy-winning artist modeled a red sleeveless bodysuit, writing, “THE TRUST I HAVE IN THIS @YITTY BODYSUIT CHILEEEE… ❤️🔥❤️” In the video, Lizzo struts, dances, and jumps in the YITTY design, which features a plunging neckline, a built-in bra for added support, and a stretchy bodice. With its figure-skimming fit and seemingly comfortable fabric, the scarlet bodysuit stayed in place the entire time, capturing Lizzo’s vision of clothes that are meant to be lived in. As the singer shared in an official statement, “I was tired of seeing this sad, restrictive shapewear that literally no-one wanted to wear. I had an epiphany like, ‘who can actually do something about this?’ I decided to take…

What I’ve read lately

What I’ve read latelyApril 05, 2022 at 05:33PM Sharing my recent reads and if I’d recommend them! Hey hey! How’s the day going?? We’re back in Tucson and back in the swing of life around here. We had the BEST time and it felt so good to enjoy some Disney time, and be back in San Diego! (We drive by our San Diego house every time we’re in town and it definitely makes us nostalgic.) For today’s post, I’m sharing a book recap of what I’ve read lately and what’s next on my list. I’ve read some amazing books over the past couple of months, and I’m pumped to share them with you. The Paris Apartment: this book BLEW ME AWAY. I usually avoid thriller-type books because I don’t want to read anything violent before bed, but I’ve found that I really like…

Dua Lipa, Cindy Crawford, and Tyra Banks Have All Worn This Iconic Versace Dress

April 05, 2022 at 04:55PM Dua Lipa and stylist Lorenzo Posocco are intentional about researching their red carpet style moments, and that’s truer than ever for Lipa’s latest look at the 2022 Grammys, where she arrived in an archival Versace bondage gown from 1992. Supermodel Cindy Crawford, who wore the dress when she was 26, commented on the design’s history with an Instagram post. “Then and now đź–¤ Timeless,” she wrote underneath a shot of herself at the 1992 MTV VMAs. Back then, Crawford wore the strappy number with a pair of classic black pumps and a red ribbon pin to show her support of those affected by the ongoing AIDS crisis. Meanwhile, Lipa’s own take was decorated with piles of gold chainlink Medusa jewelry - both necklaces and bracelets - to play into the current Y2K-inspired logomania trend and represent Versace’s signature…

These $45 Old Navy Jeans Will Look Good With Everything in Your Closet

April 05, 2022 at 04:25PM It’s strange to admit that I’ve never owned a pair of beige jeans (or white, but that’s another story). As someone prone to spills and messes, I’ve steered clear of them for 27 years. But just recently, I finally decided to give it a shot, namely because I’ve been seeing so many people looking hella chic in them on social media. In pursuit of a similar look, I found the Old Navy Extra High-Waisted Sky Hi Straight Ecru Wide-Leg Jeans ($45), which looked like they’d take me from spring to summer and fall, no problem. Obviously, I added them to my shopping cart - and nearly ripped them out of the package when they hit my mailbox. If you’ve read my reviews before, you know I’m a fan of wide-leg jeans. As someone who’s among those to kiss…
