Call Dorota! All the Times Leighton Meester Basically Stole From Blair Waldorf’s Closet
May 08, 2020 at 09:42PM Leighton Meester will forever be known for her role as Blair Waldorf in Gossip Girl. Just like her character on the show, Leighton also has a knack for putting together an impeccably stylish outfit. Even though the show ended back in 2012, Blair’s outfits are still relevant even today. In fact, we noticed a handful of times when she wore similar outfits to Blair while on the red carpet and at various events, and it made us wonder if she had taken cues from her preppy on-screen persona (perhaps in the subtlest of ways?). From sequined pale blue dresses to her character’s classic combination of a pencil skirt and tights, there have been plenty of times when we mistook Leighton for Blair. Some of these style moments are so identical – it’s wild! We can’t wait to see the Gossip Girl spin off to see what outfits the new characters will wear and we wonder if Blair’s preppy style will make a comeback. (They signed the original costume designer from GG so you know it’s going to be full of fashionable moments!) Keep reading to take a look at 13 times Leighton Meester channeled her inner Blair Waldorf with these stunning outfits.

6 Swimsuit Trends You Should Already Own For 2020
May 08, 2020 at 09:31PM So far, 2020’s biggest swimsuit trends are shaping up to be exactly how we expected them: highly influenced by the Kardashian-Jenners et al. But rather than simply rounding up all the cutout one-pieces and sexy two-pieces celebrities have been wearing, we tapped some of our favorite swim brands and took their opinions into account. Zimmermann, Summersalt, Solid & Striped, Onia, Marysia, and Lisa Marie Fernandez all spoke to POPSUGAR about the swimsuits that are already bestsellers for 2020, and some of our favorite styles made the cut. You probably won’t be surprised to find that snake print is still all the rage – it’s probably the most shoppable of the trends listed here – but ruffles are seeing a resurgence now, too. Rather than simply finishing a sleeve, these are fashioned in new ways: in the form of an asymmetrical sash down the front bodice or fluttering along the hemline at the hips. With a major shift toward eco-friendly habits, vegan leather swimwear is also on the rise, which makes for an edgy look you can really feel good about. Finally, the scarf-like, vintage effect fever isn’t going anywhere. (Think: the type of graphic prints you’d see on retro silk hair bandanas.) Scroll through to shop.

25 Ways to Switch Things Up and Style Your Hoodie With Something Interesting
May 08, 2020 at 08:30PM I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty tired of opening my hoodie drawer each morning to find the same old outfit options staring back at me. If I wear the yellow one, I’ll throw on the cutoff sweats and high socks, and if I wear the gray one, I’ll slip on the matching joggers . . . yada, yada, yada. It’s a tired routine. Eager to switch things up and impress my SO working over in the next room – also fully intent on keeping my look comfortable – I browsed through some of my favorite Instagram accounts and set up my mood board. “I can refresh my stay-home style with clothes I already have,” I thought to myself. Sure enough, my fellow fashion connoisseurs of Instagram did not let me down, and I surfaced from my rabbit hole armed with 25 interesting combinations, all of which involve a hoodie. I think it’s safe to say, at the end of the day, we all consider hoodies to be the most comfortable basic in existence – isn’t that right? Scroll down to find out what you’ll need to make more of a statement in your sweatshirt. And yes, I realize some of these ideas call for a coat, which you can easily slip on for your social distancing walk around the block.

Simons to Launch New Collection Showcasing Indigenous Design Talent
May 08, 2020 at 08:18PM Highlighting the work of eight Indigenous designers from across Canada, Simons will launch a capsule collection on June 1 in collaboration with Indigenous Fashion Week Toronto (IFWTO); it boasts bold patterns, complex beadwork and intricate embroidery that all speak to the unique traditional backgrounds of the creatives involved. Each participant was asked to lend their particular craft to a templated set of garments designed by the Simons team (including a boxy top and high-waisted trousers made from an organic cotton and linen blend), and some also created a selection of accessories. “It’s such a great opportunity to show the broader fashion public—whether it be media, bloggers, stylists or anyone who’s interested in clothing—that despite the fact that we’re all using the same garments, they all look incredibly unique,” says Evan Ducharme, a British Columbia-based fashion designer who is part of the project. Ducharme is Métis and has ancestral ties to the Cree, Ojibwe and Saulteaux peoples. “It allows for the uniqueness of our Indigeneity and our own individual nations to come through in the work,” he adds. Ducharme and fellow collaborators Caroline Monnet, Niio Perkins, Warren Steven Scott, Tracy Toulouse, Tania Larsson, Jordan Bennett and the brand Injunuity Design Studio (helmed by Cheryl Copenace) were invited by Sage Paul, the founding collective member and artistic director of IFWTO, to take part in the opportunity. “When Simons was brought up in the conversation, my interest was piqued because I don’t think any major Canadian fashion retailer
The “Stuck With U” Video Is So Romantic, and I’ve Fallen For Hailey Bieber’s Cozy Outfit
May 08, 2020 at 07:17PM Hailey Bieber is a muse to many: fashion designers, Justin Bieber, and myself. The model was one of many stars to recently appear in the romantic and timely music video for Justin’s collaboration with Ariana Grande, titled “Stuck With U,” and her monochromatic outfit looks like a loungewear dream. Hailey’s at-home outfit consisted of her favorite cropped tank top by X Karla, oversize sweatpants, her signature gold hoop earrings, and a sporty puffer jacket by Fear of God, which is sadly no longer available online. Hailey completed the outfit with a pair of statement-making black sneakers, which appear to bear some sort of gold print or embroidery. Her serenading husband, meanwhile, wore a blue, smiley-face hoodie from his burgeoning clothing line, Drew House, which Hailey has also been wearing a lot these days. Pardon the incoming bad pun, but I certainly wouldn’t mind being stuck in Hailey’s cozy cream look for days on end. Scroll ahead to see adorable photos of Hailey in the music video, and then shop similar (or the exact!) items you’d need to recreate her outfit. (Oh, and once you’re done, feel free to check out the Biebers’ recent cooking tutorial, which is a real treat.)

How To Build An Edible Garden + Indoor Herb Box At Home
May 08, 2020 at 10:57AM Farm-to-table restaurants? Yes. Home garden to plate? Still working on it. We joined Edible Garden LA‘s Lauri Kranz for a home gardening workshop at Jenni Kayne’s gorgeous Brentwood Country Mart location during the summer a year or two back – Lauri’s advice is just what we need now! Lauri builds gorgeous gardens for homes and businesses looking to grow their own food in a beautiful way (drool over a few of them here!). Here in the city – for the most part – that means raised bed and planters. Acquiring clean organic soil is key when it comes to growing plants you’ll actually be eating. Here are a few notes from Lauri on growing an edible garden at home… During our workshop, we talked about the importance of connecting with where our food comes from and the rewards of spending time in the garden. Gardening is a practice, like yoga or meditation and the rewards of gardening can both be seen and felt. The three most important considerations when planning a garden: Sun, Soil and Water. A Sunny Spot: First, find the area of your outdoor space that receives the most hours of sun per day, five or more hours is best. For some of us, this is the entryway to our apartment or a sunny balcony and for others it is a part of our yard. Rise Up: Make sure the soil is fertile by using raised beds or pots and filling them with good, organic
