Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Julianne’s TIFF baby doll If I owned this dress I would wear it for all seasons. It’s that special. The high collar, the pretty sleeves that fall, the shape – sort of baby doll but not quite as defined under the bust so that it wouldn’t scare someone like, say, Duana away because By Lainey • Sep 12, 2015 03:16 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kate Mara’s TIFF gold At first, I wasn’t sure about this in a thumbnail. But then, looking closer, holy sh-t, this is exquisite, the detail. I love how it sweeps up the chest at the neck. And it’s a two piece! The only problem? No idea why she decided to go with By Lainey • Sep 12, 2015 02:54 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Helen’s TIFF roses We’ve seen this kind of dress on Helen Mirren before. But to me, it never gets old. She loves a sheer sleeve and she wears it so well. She loves a defined waist, and her waist is beautiful. She loves a floral pattern, and this one is gorgeous. Also… By Lainey • Sep 12, 2015 02:42 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Rachel’s olive TIFF I appreciate the attempt here. Like with the mismatched shoulders and the belt and the pretty skirt. But it all feels kinda clumped together, maybe a little sloppy? By Lainey • Sep 11, 2015 05:37 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: End-of-summer updates! The other day I got a letter asking if people ever update me on what they named their babies. WHY YES THEY DO! Here are a few that I received lately, assume bragging rights are implied where applicable… First, from the author of ‘No Schmance’: Hi Duana, sorry for the By Duana • Sep 11, 2015 04:39 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Gabrielle’s trench dress Yesssssss… All the yeses. I want to know what this looks like with hair past the shoulders though. I feel like it wouldn’t be as amazing. By Lainey • Sep 11, 2015 01:44 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Mischa’s 80s hair Once upon a time she had style. And it disappeared, along with her career. Mischa Barton is only 29 years old. And apparently auditioning to be a Housewife of Beverly Hills. By Lainey • Sep 11, 2015 01:05 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Penelope's horrible hair and dress I was all over her look the other day. So good. Click here for a refresher. This? Whyyyyyy would you do your hair like this? Whyyy would you pick this dress (if you're not Catherine Zeta-Jones)? By Lainey • Sep 10, 2015 03:11 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kiernan’s amazing shoes This black and green panelled dress is pretty f-cking special as it is. And then… when you consider the shoes… Who is styling Sally Draper. Because holy sh-t, it’s STRONG. Kiernan Shipka is coming to TIFF for a film called February this weekend. I can’t wait to see By Lainey • Sep 10, 2015 11:40 am
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Not running I have been running as my major workout activity for years and I have recently developed Achilles heel tendonitis. I have been fitted for orthotics, but have not started using them yet, and I have been told by my general practitioner to stop running for anywhere from 4 week to By Hayley • Sep 10, 2015 10:55 am
Lifestyle Duana Names: Popular! I want to be Pop-u-u-lar! Hi Duana! I am due in early October, and baby's sex will be a surprise. We have a list of names, and despite my insisting that Liam is too popular my husband really, really loves it. I do too, but I just really do not want my kid By Duana • Sep 09, 2015 03:04 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Naomi’s zippered black dress This might be one of the best black dresses of the year. There’s something about a front zipper when I wear one that always makes me feel like I’m getting extra contained. And it’s so flattering the way it becomes an inverted V between the legs. Also By Lainey • Sep 09, 2015 11:55 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Penelope’s sheer spotted sleeves Oh my God she is wearing the sh-t out of this dress. I wouldn’t notice it on anyone else. But Penelope Cruz… is just…so… breathtaking. By Lainey • Sep 08, 2015 01:16 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Demi’s cage dress It’s a great look on her. And something I’d try now after seeing her do it like this, with the minty greenish two piece underneath the black cage. I love it. By Lainey • Sep 08, 2015 09:42 am
Lifestyle Duana names: Crowdsourcing the second position Dear Duana, I’m writing in on behalf of my coworker, who is due at the end of September. Quickly after finding out she was having a girl, she and her husband decided on the first name Lucy, since her Grandfather used to call her “Little Lulu” as a child. By Duana • Sep 04, 2015 02:34 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: I Can’t (but not Ariana Grande) I can’t. Two words that I hear all too often. I can’t find time to exercise. I can’t run farther. I can’t push harder. I can’t eat healthy. I can’t try. I was training a client the other day and when I was attempting By Hayley • Sep 04, 2015 01:13 pm
