Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Queen Latifah’s sparkles I don’t think we pay enough attention to how consistently Latifah brings it on a red carpet. This is a spectacular white dress. It’s well-tailored. I like the tricked out neck and shoulder detail. And if I had to change anything, I think I would have gone with By Lainey • Oct 25, 2016 10:41 am
Lifestyle Duana Names: Simple Is Not So Simple Hi Duana, We are expecting our second child around Halloween and to everyone's surprise, it will be a boy! I love the combination of a simple first name with a unique middle name. Our daughter is Laura Solveig D----n (a nod to my husband's Norwegian background) By Duana • Oct 24, 2016 04:58 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Emma, dance teacher If I were trying to come up with a wardrobe for a character called "dance teacher", this is the shape I'd be thinking of. Tanked on the top, fitted at the waist, falling softly at the hips and slightly flaring below the knee. It's By Lainey • Oct 24, 2016 04:34 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Anna’s velvet romper It might not be a romper. From the front it doesn’t look like one. But a few shots from the back do. Anyway, whatever, the point is it’s velvet and it’s basically a figure skating outfit and normally, that would be an insult but I don’t By Lainey • Oct 24, 2016 03:35 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: Help Us Not F*ck This Up Baby number 4 is coming in a few short months... Totally unexpected. My husband and I had our first at the tender ages of 18 & 19, we named her Vaira. We love the name, she loves the name, and nothing anyone says will change that. But fast forward 10 By Duana • Oct 21, 2016 03:50 pm
Lifestyle Sasha Finds: Combat Boots The ass kicking trend of all trends is here: the combat boot. Well, to be real it never really went anywhere, but the spin this time around is we’re seeing it in cool flashy textures, colors and embellishments. So let me breakdown some of my standouts. Damn son, these By Sasha • Oct 21, 2016 03:29 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Restarting the running Hi Hayley, July last year I started running again. When I say ‘again’, I had previously used running intermittently as nothing more than a weight loss tool and didn’t veer off of the treadmill. I started running (outdoors) as a way to burn off some of the excess weight By Hayley • Oct 21, 2016 01:18 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Tilda in sparkly chartreuse On Tilda Swinton, it’s never just going to be a regular sparkly dress. Tilda doesn’t dress for the MiniVan Majority. Which is why the sleeves are formed like armour. And the chest wide like a plate. Otherwise it would have turned into something Sofia Vergara would wear. By Lainey • Oct 21, 2016 12:34 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Iman in all the prints I liked a lot of what I saw from the KENZO x H&M collection the other day. But I’m partial to KENZO. They make great sweatshirts. And now they’ll be more affordable at H&M. I think? KENZO is known for the animal inspirations. And By Lainey • Oct 21, 2016 11:59 am
Lifestyle Sasha Answers Podcast: A Sh-tty Gifter, Abortion (non)Guilt, and a Quitting Volunteer Welcome back to this week's Sasha Answers Podcast! On today's show: can you break up with a sh-tty gift giver, when is a good time to tell someone you've had an abortion, and can you ever bail on a volunteering commitment. Keep your questions By Sasha • Oct 18, 2016 01:57 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: Twice Right; And A Certain Avoidance Hi Duana, I’m expecting baby boy #2 at the end of October, and my husband and I are having trouble coming up with a name that we love as much as the one we gave our first son – Calvin James. James is a family name on my side, and By Duana • Oct 17, 2016 03:46 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: Butt alignment Hi Hayley! It recently came to my attention, after seeing a podiatrist regarding pain in my feet, that my pelvis isn't evenly aligned (i.e. my left side is lower) and that my pelvis is tilted back, causing my butt to stick out more than it should.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Drew’s off-the-shoulder sheer sleeves Off-the-shoulder is a really nice look for Drew Barrymore. And I quite like the sheer sleeves on her too. So my one complaint with this dress is that I wish it wasn’t waisted. Instead of putting in a waist, I would have wanted it to fall straight down, in By Lainey • Oct 17, 2016 10:55 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Helen’s perfect black suit A beautifully tailored black suit will never not be exciting for me. This is a perfect black suit. The jacket sits perfectly on the shoulders, tapers perfectly at the waist, and hangs perfectly along her hips. The pants fall perfectly at the ankle. The bag is the perfect size to By Lainey • Oct 17, 2016 10:27 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Mandy matches the photo wall I’m not mad at that. Because this is suuuuuuuch a pretty dress on her. The print is lovely. And I quite like the way she’s matched her lip to the shoes. But mostly, it’s the neckline. Cut high and blunt straight across so that the shoulders and By Lainey • Oct 17, 2016 09:41 am
Lifestyle Duana Names: Getting-Into-October Updates I know – not so long since the last one and I’m delighted too. I don’t know if summer people just have more daylight hours, so the updates come in sooner – no judgment, but we love getting them!
