June 04, 2020 at 11:00AM Name a more stylish TV duo than Gossip Girl‘s Blair Waldorf and Serena van der Woodsen; I’ll wait. While some may say the women of Sex and the City are the most stylish BFFs to hit the airwaves, I have to strongly disagree and say it’s Blair and Serena. Not only do the two of them wear a slew of fashion designers ranging from Chanel to YSL, but they also know how to accessorize the heck out of a school uniform, and that, my friends, takes talent. While rewatching the show in preparation for the spinoff airing on HBO Max, I noticed that there are plenty of moments where Leighton Meester and Blake Lively‘s characters are spotted on the Upper East Side wearing coordinated looks. The scene where they run around New York City dressed up in matching backless dresses designed by Blair’s mother is one that will forever be cemented in my memory. (I know I’m not the only one who tried to replicate those photos with my best friend in high school!) From matching plaid skirts and tights to breezy, coordinated summer outfits, I’m counting down all of the times this duo prove they are the most stylish best friends on TV. Read on to see my favorite outfits. Related: What Would Blair Waldorf Do? 37 Style Tips From Queen B More Celeb News Author Nikita Ramsinghani | Popsugar Selected by CWC

Greenwald How Does It Feel to Be a Problem? by Moustafa Bayoumi Why Are All The Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria? by Beverly Tatum “Walk into any racially mixed high school and you will see Black, White, and Latino youth clustered in their own groups. Is this self-segregation a problem to address or a coping strategy? Beverly Daniel Tatum, a renowned authority on the psychology of racism, argues that straight talk about our racial identities is essential if we are serious about enabling communication across racial and ethnic divides.” (Amazon) I’m Still Here by Austin Channing

These 30 Linen Summer Dresses Will Actually Keep You Cool in a Heatwave
June 04, 2020 at 07:00AM Looking put together in a heatwave is one of the trickiest styling obstacles, however the one thing that is always cool (in the literal and aesthetic sense) is a linen dress—and I’ve found 30 that I’m sure tick off every summer dress box. A word on how to style, though: My personal preference is to take tips from the likes of super-polished Eni, who always hits the right note with her styling. Don’t opt for anything overly fussy in terms of accessories and opt for barely-there sandals (if they match the colour of your dress then even better). While there are the more expensive options, I’ve also included some of my favourites from the high street. Just remember to shop for pieces you love and know you’ll wear. Keep going for the edit. Next up, the biggest spring/summer 2020 fashion trends you need to know. Author Elinor Block | Whowhatwear Selected by CWC

How Disability Styling Expert Stephanie Thomas is Using Fashion as a Form of Advocacy
June 03, 2020 at 10:03PM Los Angeles-based disability styling expert Stephanie Thomas has built a career around bringing style inclusivity to a worldwide audience. “In 2006, I went to a pet store and saw a Burberry-inspired trench coat for dogs,” she says. “I was just annoyed at that point. If I had a dog, I would have more clothing options for it than I would have if I were the parent of a child who has a seated body type and uses a wheelchair for mobility.” In 1992, Thomas began researching clothing and retail trends for people with disabilities. This eventually led to her creating the Disability Fashion Styling System, a three-point guide that allows the differently abled to better understand how to approach dressing while learning more about the brands, innovations and people bringing fashion to those with largely underserved needs. She also founded her media platform, Cur8able, in 2015 and wrote a textbook titled Fitting In: The Social Implications of Fashion and Dressing With Disabilities. “Fashion is a powerful tool in my tool box to fight discrimination against people with disabilities and to challenge and educate people who probably unknowingly have ableist views,” she says.

These Lightweight Pants Are Perfect For Summer, and on Sale For $24
June 03, 2020 at 10:05PM Recently, I upgraded my loungewear collection with a number of matching sweats. Then, as much as I loved them, I hit a wall and felt like I needed to find some real pants. I think the sentiment I shared with coworkers was something like, “I have got to find some real pants.” Maybe a curse word was in there somewhere, too. I headed over to Old Navy and scrolled through over 400 pairs of pants until I found a pair that looked like they had promise. The Mid-Rise Soft-Twill Utility Pants ($24, originally $40) were exactly what I was looking for – soft, cute, and perfect for Summer. As soon as they arrived, I ripped them out of the bag and slipped them on because I wanted to know how they stacked up. Here are the details!
