Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Sarah’s bronzey sequins Oh, yes. OH YES. I want to send this to Duana and YES together. She would love this dress. She would love this colour. And how it doesn’t need anything else because the sequins do all the work. Also… pockets! By Lainey • Nov 17, 2015 12:06 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Julie Bowen’s blousey dress Might be one of my favourite Julie Bowen red carpet moments ever. And there are few of them. But I do love a blousey dress. And this one is pretty and fun, with an optional leg moment should you choose to go there. By Lainey • Nov 16, 2015 04:27 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: A Million Little Liams… I am due with my 2nd baby mid-November and the gender is a surprise. I read your baby names column obsessively as I am stuck on both a boy and a girl name. I do not want my kid to be one of a million little Liams, Ethans or Emmas By Duana • Nov 16, 2015 03:35 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Gugu in rose gold Such a great colour on her. Which is kinda what saves the look. I’m not all that excited about much else. The straps aren’t remarkable and, I don’t know, is it too long and too short at the same time? By Lainey • Nov 16, 2015 12:39 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Jenna in green I thought it would be good in thumbnail. When I took a closer look at the material though… The print definitely helps. But I’m still feeling like it’s too dated a look for someone as fresh as Jenna D. By Lainey • Nov 16, 2015 11:39 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Rooney’s red and pink If this was just a blush tiered dress, I’d be bored and think it was Elie Saab. It’s the jacket that makes the entire look totally amazing. Like military with attitude, especially way the way it buttons diagonally so that the two red stripes look like bold, aggressive By Lainey • Nov 16, 2015 10:13 am
Lifestyle Duana Names: The Third Gets Four Hi Duana, We were somewhat surprised to learn that we will be having a third baby. As we have a boy and a girl already, we are really struggling with a name. Keeping up with the "surprise" theme of this baby, we have opted not to find out By Duana • Nov 13, 2015 02:40 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Jennifer in pink and grey Gun metal grey, right? I love this combination of colours. I love the shape of the tank on top. I love the beading. I love how it all falls. I LOVE THIS DRESS. By Lainey • Nov 12, 2015 02:25 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: a faster 5km Hi Hayley, I just finished my 5th 5k in the past three years and got my best time, 29.39. In my first 5k in 2013, I ran at 34.00 minutes because I got tired and walked. I shaved off time since then but I'm disappointed because By Hayley • Nov 12, 2015 12:19 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Olivia Munn in white with red lips God, she’s gorgeous. Like I want her face. She looks extra extra crazy beautiful with a red lip against the white of her outfit too. And that hair. That hair. Jacek and I might both be thinking of her tonight. By Lainey • Nov 11, 2015 04:22 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: You-know-who goes up the hill Hi Duana, Equally as excited and exasperated to need your help! I'm a longtime reader, and I have a name-nerdy passion that stems from having my own unique name: my parents started 'Riley' for girls long before it was trendy. I was the only one with By Duana • Nov 11, 2015 03:23 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Sienna in ruffled baby blue If you’ve been reading my column a while you know I hate this colour. Baby blue. Insipid is the word I’d use to describe it. To me, if you have to wear baby blue, the outfit has to have some edge, to balance out its blandness. This… is By Lainey • Nov 11, 2015 11:52 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Ellie looks like wrapping paper Have I mentioned I’m an excellent gift wrapper? My ribbon work, in particular, is outstanding. I’m always looking for great gift wrap. If I saw a tube of gift wrap with a pattern like Ellie Goulding’s dress, I’d buy right away. And that doesn’t mean By Lainey • Nov 10, 2015 11:13 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Zoe’s red carpet pyjamas I think we might be fighting about this. I love. You hate? But look at that print! There are meerkats! And buffalo! And an old-fashioned telephone! And it just looks so comfortable. And so much more interesting than some strapless dress you’ve seen over and over and over again. By Lainey • Nov 10, 2015 09:51 am
Lifestyle Duana Names: Loyal Best Friend or Leading Character? Hi D, Long time fan of the blog and your column here, and I can finally use (and need!) your help. We are expecting a boy due at the end of November. We like old names that will travel well between English, Spanish and French as we are Spanish speakers By Duana • Nov 09, 2015 02:25 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Chloe’s Pi dress The first thought in my mind when I saw this dress was Life Of Pi. I like this dress better than I liked the movie. Everyone liked the movie. And everyone hates this dress. That sounds about right. But, really, what’s wrong with it? The dress, I mean. Are By Lainey • Nov 09, 2015 01:43 pm
