10 Ways to Refresh Your Summer Stay-at-Home Staples For Fall

No one quite knew at the beginning of COVID-19 just how long we’d be required to stay indoors, let alone how much we’d come to rely on our loungewear. With just four weeks remaining in the summer, it’s pretty safe to say that the majority of us – especially those of us in states like California, Texas, and Florida – will continue to remain indoors for what looks to be yet another season. So what exactly does one do with all those light and airy summer staples you’ve spent the last three months wearing? Well, in the words of Project

I’m Starting to Think That Maybe Fast Fashion Isn’t The Only Thing Contributing to Wear-Once Culture

I attended a conference earlier this year hosted by Slow Factory – an organization dedicated to improving sustainable literacy in fashion – called Climate Positivity at Scale. The conference was aimed at fashion insiders, with the goal of getting us to think of solutions to reduce the alarming amount of pollution fast fashion creates each year. Slow Factory’s founder, Céline Semaan-Vernon, shared that the majority of carbon emission and greenhouse gases released into the air from fashion, happens in the material phase, meaning the manufacturing, dying of yarns, and the creation of raw fibers all play a huge role. For

This Pink Matching Sweat Set Just Brightened My Day

Even though I work from home fairly often, and my job as an editor is doable remotely, the experience of working remotely feels different when our world is facing a crisis. The spread of coronavirus is top of mind, prodding and jabbing at every somewhat normal thought I have, turning my mood upside down just when I finally start to feel uplifted and maybe even manage a smile. I overheard my fiancé telling a friend on the phone, “Sarah’s used to this, she works from home all the time.” But he’s wrong – I’m not used to this. Work-from-home days

Billie Eilish’s Powerful Performance at the DNC Came With Her Favorite $55 Necklace

Billie Eilish not only gave a spine-chilling live performance of “My Future” at the 2020 Democratic National Convention on Aug. 19, but she also did it wearing one of her most prized accessories: her Blohsh necklace. Billie wore a relaxed gray T-shirt with jeans and Gucci’s Flashtrek Crystal Sneakers, which she’s worn before on the red carpet during last year’s LACMA Gala. To finish her look, she wore a diamond choker necklace paired with her bejeweled Blohsh necklace from her merch collection.

Fall’s Biggest Handbag Trends Are A Mix Of Practical And Fun

Are you buying practical fashion for our new at-home lifestyle (matching sweatsuits, house dresses, etc.), or pieces that lift your mood (something to encourage you to get out of those sweatpants)? No need to decide because the runways of New York, London, Milan, and Paris had plenty of both — and that includes accessories. In fact, most of the Fall 2020 handbag trends fell somewhere in between utilitarian and mood-boosting. The new slate of purses has something for everyone — ranging from supersized totes that can fit all the supplies we need to carry in the time of a pandemic, to

Amira Rasool Wants The Folklore To Be The LVMH Of Africa

It’s been an intense few months for Amira Rasool, the founder and CEO of The Folklore, a multi-brand retailer that carries and distributes Black-owned and Africa-based fashion brands. The fashion-writer-turned-entrepreneur has seen lows —  from the pandemic, which, as with most retail businesses, caused sales to slow down — and record highs — resulting from Blackout Tuesday, which brought in sales higher than any from before COVID-19 — since 2020 began. She also experienced a highly publicized controversy after Taylor Swift’s Folklore merch bore a logo that looked similar to that of Rasool’s. (Following this, Swift apologized to Rasool, made

What Copenhagen’s Fashion Week Street Style Is Telling Us About the Future of Fashion

Scanning the looks coming out of Copenhagen, where the Danish capital was the first to put on its Spring/Summer 2021 Fashion Week, you won’t find any luxury It bags or coordinated brand looks dominating the street style shots. In fact, the influence of a single trend at all is largely missing. It’s surely different than Fashion Weeks in the last few years where one look, even one item – like Bottega Veneta’s buttery soft clutches – emerges as a clear and definitive trend, providing a directional look for influencers and the people who follow them, editors, and of course, fast
