Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Vanessa’s amazing shoes I needed to compose myself after seeing these shoes and becoming hysterical over them. The combination of gold and black is gorgeous. The black cap toe keeps the gold from overpowering. The black straps and the triangle sides make the shoe more than just a generic mary jane. This is By Lainey • Jul 06, 2016 04:42 pm
Amazingness The Shallows: Mimi version Yesterday a reader called Jessie sent me Wesley Morris’s review of Blake Lively’s The Shallows for The New York Times.

It goes wrong from the first sentence: “America is so far gone, we have to go to Australia to find By Maria • Jul 06, 2016 04:11 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Sienna’s Wimbledon oxfords I like the bottom of this dress more than I like the top. But I feel like it’s more about the fit. If I were her I would have gone one size larger. These oxfords though. With the side buckle? They’re on my Want list for sure. By Lainey • Jul 06, 2016 03:48 pm

Sam Rockwell Leslie & Sam, by request We’ve had a couple of requests come in recently for Leslie Bibb and Sam Rockwell, one of my favourite un-Swoki low-key celebrity couples. And they have endured!

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Rihanna’s yellow in Stockholm All of THIS. You don’t like the print right? You’re accusing it of being old-fashioned curtains, right? Nope. Not on Rihanna. And not when it’s dressed with these boots. And a clean top-knot is exactly the hair to wear with it. I am freaking out By Lainey • Jul 06, 2016 01:32 pm
