April 24, 2020 at 05:00AM When we imagined what we’d be wearing this spring (as one does in the dead of winter), sweatpants, hoodies, and slippers weren’t really it, but here we are. While right now, our clothing shopping priority is comfort, that’s not to say we aren’t still daydreaming about what we’re going to wear when it’s safe to go out again. Given the nature of our line of work, our editors keep ongoing shopping lists (even if it’s just in our heads), which we’re sharing here in case you’re seeking some inspiration. Below, get a glimpse at the things at the top of our wish lists (and shop them for yourself, if you’re so inclined) and those that we really want to wear down the road. We hope you find something that brings you as much joy as these 25 pieces will hopefully soon bring us. “A thrifty thrill is top of mind right now. I’m holding on any bigger spending and will be getting my fashion kicks with affordable items that I know I’ll wear a ton.” “I’ve been so inspired by all the DIY tie-dying I’ve seen on Instagram lately, especially since the print itself is so mood-lifting. However, since I don’t have a backyard to work with at the moment, I’m probably just going to give in and buy a few pieces for myself and spare my apartment the mess. On the flipside, despite seeing countless spring and summer dress I’d love to get my hands on, I’ll probably be

The Escapist in Me Can’t Stop Thinking About Villanelle’s Puffy Pink Dress in Killing Eve
April 24, 2020 at 12:10AM Ever since Killing Eve returned for a third season, my fashion daydreams have been more vivid than ever. Jodie Comer’s Villanelle has been my style icon from the start, and I deeply relate to her shopping addiction – don’t worry, that’s strictly the only aspect of her character I identify with. I have loved all of her head-to-toe looks throughout the past few years, but it’s a season one outfit that I can’t get out of my mind: that pink Molly Goddard dress and Balenciaga boot combination that cemented her as an icon. Maybe it’s the fact that we’re staying inside all day, or that I have a closet of Spring dresses collecting dust, but I’ve had this ensemble in my thoughts constantly as I peruse retailers. There’s something about the absurdity of it; Villanelle, a hired assassin, prancing around in a glorified tutu. Or perhaps it’s the combination of a sweet dress with edgy boots that makes it stand out. If she was wearing strappy heels, I might not have thought twice about it. Whatever the reason, this outfit is more special to me now than ever before. I just might attempt to match her level of frivolity by wearing a puffy bubblegum dress in my living room. What can I say, my escapist tendencies are more prevalent than ever these days. Read on to get a full view of Villanelle’s look, then shop some similar styles I have my eye on. Related: Current

7 Trend-Proof Items Models Have Always Worn
April 23, 2020 at 05:05AM Models have always been some of the world’s most stylish beings. It makes sense, given that they’re always surrounded by the latest designs and trends. They’re privy to what’s to come in fashion before anyone else and they work closely with designers and stylists, and it shows. It was the ’90s when supermodels really became superstars, and started influencing how everyone dressed. With the prominence of Instagram and street style, that’s become even more of the case in recent years, and it’s hard to ignore the similarities among the trends that It girls of today like Kaia Gerber and Elsa Hosk wear compared to It girls of the past, like Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss. We just studied tons of outfits worn by models now and then and spotted seven classic trends that have stood the test of time. See how they wore them over the span of time and shop them for your own wardrobe below. Sure, plain white T-shirts will always be the most popular style, but graphic tees—especially logo and concert ones—have proven to have longevity over the decades, and wearing one is an easy way to add some personality while staying comfortable. On Tyra Banks: Calvin Klein T-shirt On Kendall Jenner: Each x Other Amanda Wall Charity Collaboration Tokyo T-Shirt ($99); Staud Tommy Bag ($250) Denim trends quickly come and go, but straight-leg jeans are always cool and safe. The most model-off-duty way to wear them is with a white top and flats.
25 Basics That Are So Good Nordstrom Can Barely Keep Them in Stock
April 23, 2020 at 05:04AM Here’s a shocker to no one: I’m a frequent Nordstrom shopper. During my weekly—often daily—visits to the retailer’s site to shop for products I want to feature in my stories (or even treat myself to a little wardrobe update), I’ve become well-acquainted with their wardrobe basics. So well-acquainted, I might add, that I tend to notice when the stock starts to dwindle on certain items or when they sell out entirely. I decided to put all my knowledge of these best-selling Nordstrom basics to work in this roundup. To no surprise, they all happened to be the ones that come highly rated by Nordstrom shoppers, proving that they really are quite versatile and—above all—affordable. Based on my findings, I thought it would be silly not to share these popular pieces with you. You might even recognize a few of the T-shirts, tanks, jeans, and shoes you see here since I also have the intel that many WWW readers have bought them, too. The order histories and amazing reviews don’t lie. These 25 basics are the real deal. But don’t just take my word for it—scroll through the below list to discover them all, and then click in to read the reviews and you might just find yourself so inclined to place an order, too. Happy scrolling (and shopping)! Just the name “whisper” makes me believe that this easy tee is soft and light. Stripes make everything look a bit cooler. A solid crewneck tee that
FYI: This Is How Our Beauty Editors Execute an Expert-Approved Facial at Home
April 23, 2020 at 05:00AM Giving yourself a celeb-caliber facial at home might sound intimidating, but we’re here to break the joyful news that it definitely doesn’t have to be. Sure, there are a number of steps involved and it’s definitely the kind of self-care ritual to indulge in when you have some extra time on your hands, but we’re fully convinced our at-home routine is *almost* as transformative as an in-office booking. (That said, you’ll save yourself a large booking fee and some painful extractions!) As beauty editors, Courtney and I are well-versed in the art of home facials. We’ve tested enough products, chatted up enough dermatologists, and experienced plenty of professional-level treatments to know how to re-create a truly indulgent glow-up from the comfort of our own homes. That said, to back our regimens with some extra expert guidance, I asked one of L.A.’s most sought-after celeb facialists, Candace Marino, to break down a 10/10 at-home experience step by step. Then, Courtney and I filled in the blanks with all the specific formulas we rely on no matter the state that stress, lack of sleep, or one too many glasses of wine throws our skin into. So take a deep breath, tap that diffuser, light a candle, turn on your humidifier, put together a playlist, and have at it. Your expert-led guide for how to execute the facial of all facials at home is just below. Keep scrolling! First and foremost, Marino says to start your at-home facial

Beauty Editors Told Me the Super-Hydrating Products They Covet for Glowing Skin
April 23, 2020 at 05:00AM Skincare is something I’ve been obsessing over since high school. I had problem skin when I was younger, so I spent countless hours testing different doctor-prescribed treatments as well as finds from beauty counters and drugstores. Once I was finally able to achieve clear skin, I worked hard to keep it that way, and in my adult life, I’ve found a skin regimen that works for me, but I’m always on the hunt for new products vetted by industry experts to try out myself. Curious to find out which products beauty editors swear by for glowing skin, I asked some to tell me about the super-hydrating ones they love. Here, they’re sharing their top-shelf favorites, from collagen-packed sheet masks and plumping serums to an antioxidant-packed serum that’s “magic in a bottle.” Ahead, see their picks and some personal favorites that are always stocked in my medicine cabinet. The name says it all. This truly is a hydration booster. Packed with hyaluronic acid—an ingredient that can penetrate beneath your skin’s surface—it’s a scientifically proven hydrator. I love wearing this all over my face as a serum for instantly dewy skin. And at just $20, it is one of my all-time favorite affordable beauty finds. This gel-based face moisturizer from 3Lab is an investment buy, but it’s a product line I’ve been using for years that I really trust. While I’ve tested a number of buzzy moisturizers, I always return to this magic product for super-hydrated, glowing skin. I’ve been
