Lifestyle Duana Names: Inspiring Women, in Two Parts Dear Duana, I am expecting girl #3 and having trouble settling on a name. Our older daughter is Chora, and our younger is Edith ("Edie"). We want to name our daughter after a female figure she can admire. For us that means someone courageous and whose courage is By Duana • Jul 06, 2015 01:36 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Gigi’s orange kicks This is, like, really old school orange. She’s a model, she can get away with whatever mismatch she wants. But what happens when a regular person with regular length legs – ok, fine, short stubby legs – works these out? Because I think I really like them. By Lainey • Jul 06, 2015 01:14 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: Causing Undue Name Pain? Hi Duana, I would really appreciate your advice! Our first boy is due this summer and while my husband and I have agreed on a name, which I suggested and love, I'm having some worries about it. We live in a very ethnically un-diverse community. Most everyone in By Duana • Jul 03, 2015 03:26 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: What’s your “bike”? Four years ago I decided it was time for a new challenge. I have never thought that I would be the best in the world (heck, the best in my age group) at anything and I was feeling like I had pretty much achieved most of what I could in By Hayley • Jul 03, 2015 02:16 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kate’s black sequined skirt I appreciate that Kate Hudson is showing us something a little different here and not a Versace dress with cut-outs and pantyhose holding it together. But I’m not sure if I like the way this sequined skirt is falling. And I don’t think I’m into the fabric By Lainey • Jul 03, 2015 01:18 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Hilary Swank in a Vergara dress I hate this dress. I feel like Hilary Swank could do better than this dress, a Sofia Vergara dress. Also, where the dress stops, just below the knee, and these shoes and where the strap sits, I would have made a different choice. By Lainey • Jul 02, 2015 01:36 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Lunchtime workout Hi Hayley, I recently started a new job where the office has a gym (cardio equipment, free weights, exercise balls, etc.) that is available for use. I have half an hour to spend working out at lunch and am looking for some suggestions about how to maximize my time. I By Hayley • Jul 02, 2015 12:25 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Dakota’s blue mules I’m not a mule wearer. Just not my jam. But these blue ones, on Dakota Johnson, with the easy, pretty white dress, and the cute little picnic basket handbag? It’s a really good look. By Lainey • Jun 30, 2015 04:22 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Amber’s red dress in London It’s red and it gives you some side breast and there are ruffles arranged to look like they’ve been slashed so I feel like this might be a popular look for many of you. But I hate it. I hate how jarring the black ribbon looks at the By Lainey • Jun 30, 2015 03:54 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: Stopping, Laying Off, and Leaving Names Alone One of the many, many things I love about this column and all of you who contribute is that it is so unabashedly a sociology exercise. We discuss names, and sooner or later those names apply to someone – and you can’t not react. I knew that there would be By Duana • Jun 29, 2015 02:05 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Emilia in black and white I don’t like what’s happening here. This dress. There’s too much of it. Looks great on the top but the bottom is … too heavy? Too wide? It’s like what’s going on above the waist doesn’t match what’s going on below the waist, non? By Lainey • Jun 29, 2015 11:49 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Zendaya’s BET shirt dress I love a long-sleeved shirt dress. It started in the 90s. Calvin Klein, Christy Turlington. To me there’s nothing sexier. As for those shoes, on anyone else I’d burn them. But Zendaya, somehow, makes them tolerable. By Lainey • Jun 29, 2015 10:04 am
Lifestyle Duana Names: Nicking the Name Hi Duana - Our family is expecting the addition of a baby boy the beginning of July. He is eagerly awaited by a big brother Rocco and big sister Tessa. We have a single syllable Chinese last name. You can see that we lie somewhere in the middle of quirky By Duana • Jun 26, 2015 03:19 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Paula Patton sleek and single I’m telling you… Since cutting Robin Thicke out of her love life, Paula Patton has found her style rhythm. EVERYTHING is going right with her now. By Lainey • Jun 26, 2015 02:54 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Fueling your body for energy When you are training for an event, eating becomes less about trying to count calories and more about fueling your body efficiently to make sure that you are getting the most out of your long training sessions. If you are dragging yourself out of bed, early on a Sunday morning By Hayley • Jun 26, 2015 12:16 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Demi’s colourful jumpsuit She looks AMAZING in this jumpsuit. And I love that the pants are cut at the perfect length. It’s so perfect I can’t even hate on the shoes, not normally my preference but because what’s happening up top is so great, it doesn’t matter. By Lainey • Jun 25, 2015 04:09 pm
