3 Jewelry Designers Share Their Creative Tips For Organizing Your Jewelry

2 min read

May 29, 2020 at 04:55PM There are many methods of jewelry organization, and like with your style preferences, your organizational choices might range from classic to creative and even teeter into experimental territory. Of course, there are traditional ways to organize jewelry like a good old jewelry box fitted with hooks, drawers, and compartments to keep your precious pieces tidy and safe. Similarly, small bowls, stands, and surfaces like a marble slab or wooden shelf are great for storing jewels. Then, there are forms of jewelry storage that go beyond a jewelry box or bowl. If you’re a jewelry fanatic, you’re likely the proud owner of more earrings, rings, and necklaces than you can count. Which means your storage methods might extend into other areas of your home, becoming one with your decor. We’re here for it! The most important part of jewelry organization is ensuring your pieces are safe, free of knots and tangles, and ideally protected enough to keep them clean and avoid tarnish. At the same time, it’s fun to think outside the jewelry box and figure out ways in which you can store your jewelry so you can easily see everything and rotate through all of your beautiful pieces. Ahead, we’ve tapped a few pros, jewelry designers Maya Brenner, Anna Sheffield, and Eric Sachse of Eriness jewelry, who have plenty of organizational tips, including ideas for storing your jewelry when traveling. Read on for all their takes. Continue Reading… Author Laura Lajiness | Popsugar Selected by

It Does Not Matter If You Are Good

7 min read

  May 29, 2020 at 04:44PM BY R. ERIC THOMAS   GETTY At some point you learn to speak clearly and slowly, to widen your eyes a bit, perhaps to smile, in situations where the underlying danger of everyday existence races to the surface like an air bubble in murky water. Of course you do this with law enforcement, at a traffic stop or in a random encounter on the street, but you do this also in the most anodyne situations—with the train conductor when your ticket won’t scan, with the concierge at an apartment building, with the random white stranger who suddenly wants to know what you’re doing, where you’ve just come from, where you think you’re going. You learn to perform harmlessness, not as a way of selling yourself out—though it often feels like that—but as an attempt at heading off a conflict that seems to always be brewing. You learn—or, at least I, a black, cisgender man, learned—that there will be moments, random and unbidden, where to save your life you must convince a stranger that you are in some amorphous way good. And at the same time you learn that it probably will not make a difference.  RELATED STORY What You Need to Know About George Floyd This week began for many with footage filmed by a black man of a white woman, Amy Cooper, frantically calling the police on him and alleging that he was threatening her. The black man, Christian Cooper, unrelated to Amy, can be

Excuse Me as I Fangirl Over Dua Lipa’s Dreamy Tie-Dye Sweatshirt and Bright-Pink Hair

2 min read

May 29, 2020 at 04:31PM Dua Lipa has hopped onto the tie-dye bandwagon with her latest outfit, and I’m all about it. While doing a promo for her album at home in London, Dua posted a series of three photos while wearing a cool tie-dye sweatshirt by Madhappy. The Los Angeles-based brand is all about promoting optimism and helps give a platform to mental health. How awesome is that? The singer’s crewneck sweatshirt, which is sadly not in stock, is made out of a soft felt material. The tie-dye swirl on Dua’s colorful sweatshirt features an array of rainbow hues ranging from baby blue to bright pink. On the last slide of her Instagram post, I noticed that her sweatshirt had the brand’s name, Madhappy, written in pink cursive on one side. I love that the sweatshirt’s colors made her bright, cherry-pink hair pop more. Since isolating with boyfriend Anwar Hadid, Dua has switched up her hair color multiple times and even had Anwar help. Cute, right? Keep reading to get a closer look at her trippy sweatshirt, then shop similar versions of her tie-dye look if you’re currently in the market for a cozy new sweatshirt, too.

Model Romee Strijd Just Gave Every Expecting Mother a Reason to Invest in a Cutout Dress

2 min read

May 29, 2020 at 04:00PM Supermodel Romee Strijd, who probably looks familiar because you’ve seen her on runways for Victoria’s Secret, Givenchy, and Alexander Wang, announced her first pregnancy on Instagram. Romee penned a thoughtful and empowering message about her journey to becoming a mom and her challenging experience after being diagnosed with PCOS two years ago. Alongside Romee’s candid note and honest account of her changing lifestyle comes some seriously bold maternity style, starting with the cutout dress she’s wearing. The Cult Gaia Serita, which comes in a comfortable woven knit fabric with a seriously sexy cutout that frames the waist, happens to be a celebrity favorite number worn by the likes of fellow former VS models Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Candice Swanepoel. Romee isn’t the only one wearing it to proudly show off her growing bump either – other moms are, too! The Serita retails for $458, and because it’s such a popular silhouette, we wouldn’t be surprised if it sells out for the summer months ahead. If you really love it and are inspired by Romee’s look (we don’t blame you!), we shopped out similar dresses that are just as impactful. Whether or not you’re expecting, you can certainly make your own moment in them. Kudos to you if you can glow just as bright as Strijd, who we’re sending the very best wishes to.

How to Do a Blow-Dry at Home in 5 Easy Steps

5 min read

May 29, 2020 at 03:30PM A blow-dry is sadly one of the very few beauty treatments that are virtually impossible to do on yourself. Especially one to salon standard. Let’s face it—there is no better feeling than skipping out of the salon with freshly blow-dried hair. With the magic hands of a hairstylist, flat, limp lengths can be transformed into bouncy, voluminous waves in a matter of minutes using nothing more than a hairbrush and a hair dryer. So why is it when we try to do it ourselves at home, it’s such a palaver? With aching arms, mirror reflection confusion and dryer-inflicted burns, there is nothing remotely glamorous about blow-drying your own hair. And 99% of the time, after all of the flap and fuss, the results are so drab that you wish you hadn’t bothered. While salons around the world are closed and we are restricted to use only the hair tools we already own, it’s understandable if your hair isn’t looking its best. In a bid to try and boost spirits (and roots), we caught up with GHD ambassador and hairstylist extraordinaire Adam Reed to reveal exactly how you can achieve salon-level blow-dry results at home. The thing that is very often overlooked when trying to achieve salon results at home is the sheer number of products a stylist applies in one single appointment. If you’re struggling to get the lifted volume that a salon blow-dry promises, it’s likely because you’re not utilising what’s out there. Before you
