Little Fires Everywhere Is Full of '90s-Inspired Style That'll Take You Back in Time

Image
When we heard Celeste Ng's 2017 bestseller Little Fires Everywhere was being turned into a short series on Hulu, we knew the screen style would be one to watch. (Especially since the show is produced by Hollywood heavy hitters Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington, who also play the lead characters.) Set in 1997 in a conservative Ohio suburb called Shaker Heights, the show follows the lies that begin to unravel after the affluent Richardson family meets a newly arrived single parent Mia, played by Kerry, and her teenage daughter Pearl. Costume designer Lyn Paolo helped bring the '90s to life by styling the characters in a mix of vintage/archival pieces for the show. Reese Witherspoon, who plays Elena Richardson on the show, is often seen in preppy styles like chambray dresses and cardigans paired with pearl necklaces. Think about Reese's fashion line Draper James , and you'll totally get the vibe. Meanwhile, Kerry Washington's style is a complete 180 from her

Reese Witherspoon and Laura Dern Practice Social Distancing On a Hike In Chic Athleisure Ensembles

Image
“Big Little Lies” fans rejoice: Renata and Madeline are together once again. Laura Dern and Reese Withersoon, who starred in the HBO series together alongside Shailene Woodley, Zoe Kravitz and Nicole Kidman, practiced appropriate social distancing today while taking an outdoor hike together in Los Angeles. (Social distancing is a current practice that requires at least six feet of space to be placed between yourself and others throughout the coronavirus pandemic.) The two co-stars walked together but with space between them as they both wore stylish workout-chic ensembles. Dern hiked in a pair of looser athleisure pants with a graphic t-shirt and a black down jacket while Witherspoon went with a zip-up red chevron puffer, heathered leggings and a black cap. For footwear, Dern chose a pair of Adidas sneakers with bright white three stripes and a colorful striped toe; the pair resembles the brand’s Swift Run silhouette, with similar colorways currently on sale from $60 to $85 at Ad

Curious About Madam CJ Walker’s Hair Products After Watching the Show? We Tried Them Out

Image
Madam CJ Walker was a pioneer who created groundbreaking haircare products long before we became devotees of other popular brands that specifically cater to textured hair. The legendary business woman is the subject of Netflix's all-new limited series, Self Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam C.J. Walker , which follows her life as she started her own beauty company from the ground up. Walker's products were pretty life-changing during her time, and luckily for all of us, they live on today. MCJW Beauty , a brand inspired by Walker's legacy, recently launched a line of products that are being sold exclusively at Sephora, so of course we had to try them out ourselves. Read ahead to see which MCJW hair care products were our faves. Source: https://ift.tt/3a7ogcz

Happy 14th Birthday, Barron Trump: All the Times He Wore His Favorite Go-To Sneakers

Image
Barron Trump turns 14 today. Son of President Donald Trump and Melania Trump, the teenager has spent the past few years growing up in front of the nation’s eyes — literally. He now towers over his 6-foot-3-inches father and 5-foot-11-inches mother. Throughout his time in the spotlight, Barron has often turned to one pair of shoes in particular: the New Balance 574 Core sneakers. The now 14-year-old has repeatedly chosen the classic style ever since his father took office. On Jan. 17, 2020, he matched a black colorway of the kicks with a green Alpha Industries bomber jacket , a T-shirt and black pants while walking to Air Force 1 with his parents.

The Cape Dress: The Defiant Design Detail That Won Over Selena Gomez and Meghan Markle

Image
Fashion always tells a story, and if we read the subtle cues of design, we can figure out what a garment is really saying. The cape dress is no exception. Worn by the likes of Selena Gomez , Meghan Markle , and Natalie Portman , this defiant design detail will be all over this year's red carpets. While puff-sleeve dresses started out strong for 2020 - being the most popular design silhouette at the 2020 Golden Globes - the cape dress is posing some serious competition. Selena wore a pink Patou cape dress to the 2020 Hollywood Beauty Awards while pushing press for her comeback album Rare . Meghan also wore a cape dress recently - two of them, as a matter of fact. The Duchess of Sussex wore a red Safiyaa gown to the 2020 Mountbatten Festival of Music and a green Emilia Wickstead number to the 2020 Commonwealth Day Service, significant choices for her final rounds as a senior royal. Portman also wore a Dior cape dress as a silent protest against the 2020 Academy Awards snubbing w

A Guide to Barrettes: How to Style Them and Where to Shop Them

Image
Barrettes remind me of the good old days when I used to beg my mom to style my hair "half-up, half-down," which essentially referred to her swiftly lifting a small section of my hair from the crown and securing it with a clip. But boy, did my barrettes get more exciting with age. They went from thin, skinny metal bars to ornamental little things with bows. They became full-on fashion accessories . I matched them with all my outfits and, on the more vibrant days, coordinated them with butterfly clips. Barrettes were my jam. As they make their return in 2020 , they're bulkier and more geometric. Some come in lucite, some are big half-circles, and some are decorated with pearls and shells. Barrettes say a lot about your personality, too. With brands like BaubleBar, Ashley Williams, and Lelet NY creating barrettes with punchy phrases - including "J'ADORE" and "GLAM" - we might as well revolve our entire outfits around these little guys. Even though

These 23 Pairs of Statement Earrings From Small Jewelry Brands Spark So Much Joy

Image
Statement earrings are the perfect piece of jewelry to add pizazz to an outfit instantly. Whether it's a sleek and sculptural drop earring, multicolored hoops, or a bright pair of tassels, bold earrings always elicit joy and showcase your sense of style. Even better, they can make a simple outfit appear more thought out and pulled together. We're talking everything from polished tops and dresses to comfy staples like t-shirts, hoodies, and sweatpants. While we have tons of go-to shops and brands for procuring statement earrings, there's something about wearing a pair from a small or independent brand that sparks even more joy - and for several reasons. One, you're wearing a pair of earrings that, likely, are not most people's radar, which ultimately leads to a one-of-a-kind outfit. Two, you're supporting a small business where every single purchase counts (this is something we always strive to do, but especially so during unprecedented times like the curren
