Month: September 2020

Barrettes remind me of the good old days when I used to beg my mom to style my hair “half-up, half-down,” which essentially referred to her swiftly lifting a small section of my hair from the crown and securing it with a clip. But boy, did my barrettes get more exciting with age. They went from thin, skinny metal bars to ornamental little things with bows. They became full-on fashion accessories. I matched them with all my outfits and, on the more vibrant days, coordinated them with butterfly clips. Barrettes were my jam.

As they make their return in 2020, they're bulkier and more geometric. Some come in lucite, some are big half-circles, and some are decorated with pearls and shells. Barrettes say a lot about your personality, too. With brands like BaubleBar, Ashley Williams, and Lelet NY creating barrettes with punchy phrases — including “J'ADORE” and “GLAM” — we might as well revolve our entire outfits around these little guys.

Over the past few months, face masks have emerged as an effective way to slow the spread of the coronavirus. The CDC began recommending cloth face masks for public use back in April, and since then, they've become a common sight in restaurants, businesses, and gyms. Guidelines are slowly evolving as doctors learn more about the virus, so if you're still confused over when and why you should wear a face mask, keep reading; we'll talk about the right kind to buy, how to make sure your mask fits correctly, and what else you can do to protect yourself and others.

The Difference Between Surgical Masks, N95 Respirators, and Cloth Masks
Let's differentiate between the types of face masks you see most commonly: surgical masks, N95 respirators, and cloth face masks. Surgical masks are thin paper masks that are intended to obstruct the flow of germs and pathogens from the wearer to the people around them (not the other way around). N95 respirators, on the other hand, are thi..

Lupita Nyong'o is mourning the loss and honoring the life of Chadwick Boseman, who died last month following a four-year battle with colon cancer. On Sept. 8, the actress shared a heartfelt statement on Instagram to memorialize her Black Panther costar and friend, paired with a throwback photo of them embracing at the 2019 Oscars. “I write these words from a place of hopelessness, to honor a man who had great hope,” she wrote. “I am struggling to think and speak about my friend, Chadwick Boseman, in the past tense.”

Lupita — who played Chadwick's onscreen love interest, Nakia, in Black Panther — recalled his “quiet, powerful presence” and how he “showed up to every rehearsal and training and shoot day with his game face on,” creating an “ego-free environment” on set. After poking fun at Chadwick's “regrettably lame dad jokes,” she touched on the late actor's impact on her life and the lives of others. “When I was around Chadwick, I wanted to be better, less petty, ..

Calling all royal fanatics, you'll soon be able to see Princess Beatrice's beautiful wedding dress up close and personal, if you're planning a trip to the UK, that is. On Monday, the palace announced that the wedding dress Beatrice borrowed from her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, will be on display at Windsor Castle as of Sept. 24.

For her small, quiet wedding to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi on July 17 2020, Beatrice chose a special dress to match her intimate, private ceremony. The short-sleeved gown she wore is a vintage design from Norman Hartnell and was loaned to Beatrice by the queen, which she famously wore back in the 1960s. The dress was tailored to fit Beatrice and her modern style under the direction of Angela Kelly, personal adviser, dresser, and curator to The Queen, and British fashion designer Stewart Parvin.

Beatrice is following in her sister's footsteps by displaying the special dress. Back in February 2018,
