11 A+ Style Lessons We Learned From The Ladies Of Insecure

December 07, 2021 at 06:10PM With only three episodes left, HBO’s Insecure is almost done. Although we will miss watching the back-and-forth dating triangles, selfie mirror rapping, and powerful ride-or-die friendships unfold, the style lessons we learned from Issa, Molly, Kelli, and Tiffany, will be with us long after the show wraps. After stepping in on season three of the show, costume designer Shiona Turini curated the onscreen looks with the perfect mix of high fashion pieces, vintage, and everything in between. The show was a platform for our favorite Black-owned brands like Telfar and Pyer Moss, showcasing all the different personalities of the four leading women. We see Issa in bold prints, colorful patterns, political tees, and lots of vintage pieces. Molly sports the perfect blend between working professional and full glam. Kelli is seen time and time again in unique, unafraid…

Yep, Ariana Grande Sure Wore Heels With Her Snowsuit For Her New Christmas Collab

December 07, 2021 at 05:55PM Jimmy Fallon casually made his music debut on Tuesday with a new Christmas single, “It Was A… (Masked Christmas) Song,” featuring none other than Ariana Grande and Megan Thee Stallion. And while the hilariously appropriate lyrics - that remind everyone to get in line for that booster shot - are absolute gold, the retro chic skiwear also deserves our attention. In the music video, Ariana and Jimmy are seen wearing a pair of ‘80s-inspired snowsuits - Ari in white, Jimmy in purple - that are sure to catch anyone’s eye on and off the slopes. And yes, the “Positions” singer certainly paired hers with some white pumps to match. Jimmy, on the other hand, finished his look with some practical snow boots and ski goggles. Megan, who first appeared in the video in a nurse uniform and syringe…

Lil Nas X Is Basically a Telfar Snow Bunny, and I Want What He’s Wearing

December 07, 2021 at 04:38PM Please allow Lil Nas X to inspire your penchant for shopping puffers this season. After performing in metallic gear by Adolfo Sanchez, the accomplished musician showed off his more casual style in Minneapolis, where he was stationed for the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball. “cold like minnesota 🏒,” he wrote under a series of photos of his all-black outfit complete with highly coveted accessories from the Moose Knuckles x Telfar collaboration, some of which are expectedly sold out. The luxury outerwear brands stirred up a frenzy with the collection that was priced from $195 to $4,300, and it looks like Nas is a fan. He styled his puff headband with the long, puff hoodie coat (that piece is still in stock!) and the medium puff shopper, plus Bottega Veneta’s Lug boot and a Rick Owens sweater. While he abandoned all…

Best of Clean Beauty 2021

Best of Clean Beauty 2021December 07, 2021 at 10:00AM The best of clean beauty posts are definitely one of my favorite posts of the year to write! It’s an excuse for me to go through my cabinets and shelves and reflect back on some of the highlights from the year. This year is especially interesting because I had to change things up in April when I found out I was pregnant. Now to be fair, most of my products are pregnancy approved but I did get a little extra vigilant and had to give up my beloved Marie Veronique Retinol Serum and a few of my favorite CBD products. Fortunately my skin has loved pregnancy so I haven’t had to worry too much. Much like last year the focus of my clean beauty products this year has been skincare rather than makeup. I…

These 12 Fringe Hairstyles Are Making Me Want to Cut My Hair Short

December 07, 2021 at 08:00AM I have spent the past six years growing my hair back to waist length after I had a funny five minutes and decided to chop it all off in 2015. If you’re the sort of person who changes their hair every week, this might not seem like a particularly big deal to you, but having super-long hair is kind of my thing, so cutting it off at my shoulders was a really bold move. And while I liked it at first, my hair is very fine, and I found the need for daily styling a bit of a fuss. Needless to say, the novelty of change soon wore off, and I became wholeheartedly committed to growing it again. Six long years later, I’m now back in my comfort zone with my hair brushing against my lower back. But finally having my strands back…

Tessa Thompson in Black and White

December 07, 2021 at 08:00AM There’s something about Tessa Thompson—an alchemy that, at the mere mention of her name, makes people start to swoon. And rightfully so. For all the heart eyes that surround her name, the woman IRL is proof that all the excitement is well worth it.While the rest of us have been trying to figure out how many books to prop our laptops on or buying ring lights for our monitors, Thompson effortlessly glows over Zoom. She looks the height of chic in a black top and an enviable slicked-back bun that would make an Eco Style Gel enthusiast weep. She’s lounged with the ease and warmth that we hope to get from an “aspirationally approachable” movie star. All of that combined makes the job of chatting about her latest film, Passing, that much easier.Adapted from the 1929 novel by Nella…
