The name struck a chord with me because I'm a By Duana • Aug 08, 2016 03:36 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kelly’s varsity and florals Varsity seems to be the theme today. Rihanna was doing the varsity thing earlier and now Kelly Osbourne – a varsity jacket over a floral dress, Grease styles. I’m into it. You? By Lainey • Aug 08, 2016 02:21 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Rihanna’s varsity dress Varsity anything. But I LOVE the way she’s wearing this oversized vest tee like it’s a dress. And the striped sports socks. And the booties? I wish the toe wasn’t pointed. But that’s just personal preference. By Lainey • Aug 08, 2016 01:38 pm

Lifestyle Sasha Finds: Spiritual Gangster As we chatted this week on the podcast I’ve gone hippy mode – armpit hair and all, well, whatever, I tried.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Dresses and platform oxfords This is my favourite Busy Philipps outfit of all time. It’s a good striped dressed that hits her at the perfect length. And then a pair of chunky platform oxfords instead of heels. Heels would have made this outfit a little too Reese Witherspoon. The dress and platform oxfords By Lainey • Aug 05, 2016 12:02 pm

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: SJP’s shimmery off-the-shoulder I can’t get enough of the off-the-shoulder. I want it to never go away. Especially when it’s so pretty and sparkly and shimmery like on this dress on SJP. So pretty! Too pretty to be ruined by those shoes. By Lainey • Aug 03, 2016 12:20 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Jamie Chung’s safari jacket Really into the styling decisions that we’re seeing here. It’s a little black cocktail with a lace hem. Kind of whatever.

Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Margot’s heavy black dress The open shoulders are the thing this season. And I like the high collar too. But the long sleeves make this whole look so heavy, non? By Lainey • Jul 29, 2016 02:47 pm
