Carpets & Candids: Gina’s best tee
Backgrid, Splash News
Am I a basic bitch for loving this tee? Gina Rodriguez is wearing her pride: Latina AF. Latina AS F-CK. I want it… but not exactly. Obviously her particular tee is not made for me. But, say, if someone were to make a “Chinese AF” tee (why am I not calling a manufacturer right now and putting this in motion? Because I’m an OX, and those of us born under the sign of the OX are meant for the hard grind and not fast money), I would buy it and wear the sh-t about of my Chinese As F-ckness. Full Article
Sasha Finds: SAFE for summer
I’m majorly terrified of Zika. My sister got it not too long ago and let’s just say it’s not so cute. The fear of it has literally paralyzed me from going to places where the virus lives, which btw, is in a f-ck of a lot of places. After I booked my trip to the Dominican last month and realized they still had Zika, I had a wee panic attack. Full Article
Carpets & Candids: Naomie Harris – The Outfit Of The Week
WENN
All-over sequin dresses are not usually my thing. But Naomie Harris cannot be denied in this gold sparkly gown because it looks like it’s more than just sequins. It looks like it’s tinfoil compressed together and along the skirt, there seem to be added embellishments (or the illusion of them) creating origami shapes and all kinds of different dimensions.

Carpets & Candids: Kylie’s gold stripes
Backgrid
I keep changing my mind on this outfit. Loved it when I first saw it in thumbnail. I’m drawn to the gold stripes and the way the top lies open over that silk tank. Also, the way the dress fits and hangs, it almost looks like a jumpsuit from some angles. It is not, obviously, a jumpsuit. Full Article

Carpets & Candids: Amal’s green leather jacket
Backgrid
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous leather jacket. Like sublime. I’ve always been partial to a leather trench. And this one, this colour, is a hall of famer. It’s the exact shade of green here. Green with a blue/grey undertone. It’s not exactly forest. It’s not mint, obviously. Full Article

Oh My God I love these jeans! I love the wash. I love how extra extra high waist they are. I like the white stitching. I do not know if I would want to bother though. You know, like with that belt. It’s one belt but it looks like a lot of belts! It seems like it would be a pain in the ass. Full Article

You know what I hate? I hate a wrap dress. Stopped wearing them years ago. I don’t know what, exactly, it is about a wrap dress that makes me crazy but it might have something to do with the fact that they always made my breasts look weird. Would you consider this a wrap dress on Aubrey Plaza? I don’t. Full Article

I don’t think we’ve talked about Emily Blunt’s blondness yet. To be honest… I hadn’t really noticed. In fact, today, seeing these new shots of her, is the first time it really occurred to me, even though she’s actually been blonde for a while, that Emily’s a blonde now. Full Article

HOLY SH-T EMMA THOMPSON! I mean, I don’t think I ever hate what Emma Thompson wears but this might be the most I’ve loved what she’s wearing: a well-tailored pinstripe suit, pants perfectly hemmed at the right length and Stella McCartney platform oxfords, which are not new, which we’ve seen on all kinds of celebrities… But I don’t think any of them have killed it the way Emma’s killing it here.
