Lifestyle Duana Names: Gender-Neutral Doesn’t Exist Hey Duana, I have a son who's coming up on 10 years old who we named Rafferty, after an old-timey Australian actor called Chips Rafferty (we are Australian). Someone said to me recently that Rafferty would soon follow names like Riley and Rowan which were once boy names By Duana • Feb 05, 2016 04:33 pm
Lifestyle Sasha Answers: Oral Limitations Here's another sex question for you. In the past few years, I have developed problems with TMJ. Historically, I've been pretty great at giving head, but now unless we are talking about a penis the thickness of my index finger, I get agonizing jaw pain within By Sasha • Feb 05, 2016 04:01 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Natalie’s chevron sleeves It’s not the deep cleave that’s getting my attention here. It’s the chevron sheer down the sleeve. Love it. I think it saves the dress, actually. Because I’m not sure it’s cut properly around the middle. By Lainey • Feb 05, 2016 01:33 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Kate Hudson’s curls Kate Hudson had fun with a curling iron last night. I just googled “Kate Hudson short hair”. I scrolled 3 pages. I think this might be the shortest I’ve ever seen it? You like? I think I might like it better if she’d brushed through the curl. Why By Lainey • Feb 05, 2016 12:16 pm
Lifestyle Sasha Finds: Rahua gets a gold star for hair care Keeping on my all natural tip, it’s now time to turn to my first post on hair products and I’m giving the gold star to Rahua. Now, I’ll keep it real with you: this ain’t cheap (I’m working on finding others at a better price By Sasha • Feb 04, 2016 04:10 pm
Lifestyle Smutty Fitness: 50 Miles in New York I’m turning 50 this year and have decided to celebrate by walking 50 miles in one day with a friend of mine who’s also just turned 50. After much debating about location, we’ve settled on the streets/parks of NYC for a variety of reasons (easy access By Hayley • Feb 04, 2016 03:09 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Dakota’s coat, shoes, and pleats I’m telling you. I’ve been on the pleats. They’re everywhere. I wish I could see more of these purple pleats. But I’m also pretty obsessed with this coat. The shoes though… Clog heels. Cloggy heels. How come, um, I don’t entirely despise them? I’m By Lainey • Feb 03, 2016 04:51 pm
Lifestyle Duana Names: Can baby make Three? Hi Duana! As a long-time lurker, I never expected to be writing in. We have twins, a boy and a girl, and have spent the years since they were born swearing that we were DONE. (With much snark and vigor, I'm afraid.) And now - we are, somehow, By Duana • Feb 03, 2016 04:25 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Lupita’s purple and pink This looked purple to me when I first saw it, and then in other light it’s blue. I’m saying purple and you can yell at me later. But whatever it is, I’m not sure either way if I like it with this pink coat. Do you? By Lainey • Feb 03, 2016 03:54 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Penelope’s green suede pockets Look closely. It’s not just suede. It’s weaved suede. I love it so much. And the pockets too. Just… maybe those strings crossing below the neck are kinda overkill? Also I’m not down with the shoe choice. By Lainey • Feb 03, 2016 11:35 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Julianne’s SAG green It’s puke green. Which is not necessarily a problem if it’s done well but it becomes even more glaringly puke green when…well… This was probably the worst dress of the night for me. Worst is always in relation to the subject’s potential to be best. And By Lainey • Feb 01, 2016 01:12 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Demi’s SAG shirt dress I’ll always love a shirt dress. Shirt dresses are typically not tight to the body. And this one, by Zac Posen, is all about the body. I just wish the nude underlay wasn’t there. And I wish she’d done something different with her hair. But I suspect By Lainey • Feb 01, 2016 11:54 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: January's SAG seafoam If you’ve been reading this blog consistently, you know I’ve been on this for a while: the January Jones style slide. January Jones used to bring it. She used to be AHEAD of it. Even if it what she wore wasn’t my favourite, at least it had By Lainey • Feb 01, 2016 11:09 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Saoirse’s SAG pink Pink is tricky. Because it can go either infantile or… well… Saoirse’s pink lace, with that horrible hair, and the earrings, it’s like she’s from the 1950s and her parents are looking to marry her off. This is especially disappointing because we’ve seen before that Saoirse By Lainey • Feb 01, 2016 10:18 am
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Brie’s SAG blue Instant hate. Everything about this dress offends me. Brie Larson is going to win an Oscar. And she’s wearing a dress that’s meant for a Euro billionaire’s yacht girl in Cannes. Then there’s that colour. Maybe the worst colour in fashion. I mean you have to By Lainey • Feb 01, 2016 10:05 am
Lifestyle Duana Names: In Which I Expose My (former) Self Hi Duana, We’re expecting our second baby early February and are searching for a name. Gender is a surprise, and we’ve gone through the list of names we had for our first and don’t really like them anymore, so we’re back at square one. Our first By Duana • Jan 29, 2016 02:56 pm
