December 01, 2018 at 05:00AM When you’re in a rush, being able to hit all the muscles in your lower body in one swift series is a solid time-saver. And being as busy as she is creating #girlpower anthems and Mean Girls-inspired music videos, it’s no wonder Ariana Grande‘s trainer created a routine that provides maximum results in minimal time. (Something even she can’t say “thank u, next” to.) Harley Pasternak—who also works with Mandy Moore and Miley Cyrus—recently shared a quickie workout that has you, as he puts it, “lunging around the clock.” Except this ticker provides a serious burn. Because of all the different variations of the move, you’ll quite literally have worked every single muscle in your lower body every time you go through the series—and you’ll especially be feeling it in your “legs, hips, and glutes,” he says. View this post on Instagram Lunge around the clock! Try this sequence for your legs, hips, and glutes. Lunge forward, backwards, sideways, back and across. #exercise #lunges #reebok #propelwater A post shared by Harley Pasternak MSc (@harleypasternak) on Nov 28, 2018 at 2:12pm PST //www.instagram.com/embed.js So, how do you reap the benefits? According to Pasternak, you’ll be performing four basic lunges—including forward lunges, back lunges, side lunges, and curtsy lunges—on each leg in the order shown in the video above. It might not look super tricky, but both legs will certainly be feeling wobbly by the time you’re finished. Sculpt your arms in just 10 minutes with this resistance band workout. Or, try Tracy

I hereby declare that ugly nail colors should have a moment
December 01, 2018 at 04:00AM I’m not sure when the switch happened, but one day—fairly recently—my manicure colors of choice transitioned from your typical reds, pinks, and neutrals to what I can only describe as horribly ugly shades (I say that in the most endearing way possible). Think sewage and slime greens, burnt oranges, diarrhea browns, and neutrals that would match a turkey carcass. It’s not just my peculiar taste, either—I’m seeing the trend when I scroll through my Instagram feed, adorning the fingertips of influencers and celebrities alike (you know you’ve seen slime green rocked by Kendall Jenner and the Hadids). So maybe it’s been infiltrating my subconscious and influencing me on that level. Either way, it does seem to be a thing—and I hereby declare that everyone should try and be so daring as to decorate their nails with hideously cool hues. It’s certainly interesting, I’ll tell you that. The traditional, “safe” nail polish shades can get, well, boring. I’ve alternated between lavenders and barely there pinks for far too long. Reds? They stain my nails. Black feels outdated (to my Avril Lavigne worshipping days of middle school, to be exact). I find myself feeling incredibly liberated wearing bright and obnoxious shades. And I even get compliments. But celebrity manicurists beg to differ. “Muted browns, greens and burnt orange polish shades tend to look outdated and don’t agree with all skin tones,” says Jin Soon Choi of her eponymous nail salon. She would know—she’s manicured the hands of countless
9 cozy matching sweat sets you’ll want to wear all winter
December 01, 2018 at 03:00AM Matching sets have become a mainstay in both activewear and streetwear over the past few seasons. They’re a cozy, convenient way to look put together without putting a lot of thought into what you’re wearing. Plus, they work for so many occasions: travel, running errands, brunching, and lounging around the house in full JOMO mode. While spring’s sweat sets were all about cropped hoodies, skirts, and shorts, winter’s coolest pairings are, perhaps unsurprisingly, on the cozier end of the style spectrum. Full-length pants in fitted and flowier styles are coupled with loose-fitted tops, creating an off-duty look—especially when worn with a leather jacket and a pair of sneakers or ankle boots. To keep the look stylish instead of schlumpy, look for a set that’s minimal and monochromatic. If you’re aiming for more of a streetwear vibe, opt for a classic, heather-grey colorway. Or, to add a level of sophistication, consider swapping traditional cotton for a more luxe fabric like cashmere. Who says the hygge sensibility has to be confined to the house? Scroll down to see the matching sweat sets we’re cozying up to this season.

Pass the trail mix because this new fashion trend is all about embracing great outdoors vibes
December 01, 2018 at 02:00AM First, there was normcore (dressing like a normal person, so creative right?), then there was dadcore (chunky sneakers, and all), and now, gorpcore is the form of fashion taking over the runways and streets. But what, exactly, is a gorp anyways? In truth, it’s an acronym for “good old raisins and peanuts” or you know, trail mix. The trend gets its fashion inspo from a recreational lifestyle and the items that go with activities such as forest bathing, hitting up Runyon Canyon, and camping (or glamping) depending on how you like to enjoy the great outdoors. Seriously, there’s never been a better time to dress like a badass woman about to hit the trails—even if your only form of exercise is walking to work or taking the stairs. So many designers are dying to dress you for said purposes, from fashion houses like Balenciaga, Acne Studios, and Alexander Wang, to boutique labels like Veja and Outdoor Voices, to mainstream retailers like Nike, Urban Outfitters, and Converse. All of them seem to be reading the same sartorially tea leaves—and they’re saying it’s time to take a hike. In a lot of ways, gorpcore is a breath of fresh air for a fashion industry that’s been slowly loosening up. “The rise of athleisure and normcore has put comfort at the forefront,” says Hayley Johnson, senior designer at Camp Collection, (a brand which lives in this post-normcore, active fashion world) “Gorpcore takes both of those movements to the next level by adding more cold-weather functionality.” It’s essentially the intersection
