The Worst Fashion Combinations

We have all had a look through the photo albums and often wondered what on earth we were thinking when we decided that floral jumper looked great with the leopard print leggings. Interestingly money doesn't buy you style and it's often celebrities that end up putting together some of the worst fashion combinations. Here are a few pointers to help you know what to avoid. Just because it's hot on the catwalk doesn't mean it's going to look good on you, remember many fashion designers about push boundaries and concept design. Don't mix denim with denim, it didn't look good in the 80's and it won't look good now, look to combine denim skirts, jeans and jackets with other solid colors and if you have to wear darker denim washes, you don't want to look like you are wearing a denim suit. Don't...

6 Things To Look For When Buying Sneakers

If you are going to buy sneakers for the first time, you should consider a lot of important factors. Since foot each is different, it makes sense to take into account some important elements like size, fit, comfort level, and shape of the shoe before making a purchase. Let's consider some of the primary factors when looking for a good pair of sneakers. 1. Fit It's important to ensure that the shoe is the best fit. Therefore, you should put them on with socks that you usually wear. Besides, you should walk or run for a couple of minutes to get a feel of how comfortable they are. Ideally, the shoe should offer a secure fit around your heel. There should be no slippage at all. In other words, the shoes must have enough space so that your toes could wiggle. You may have to get one size b...

Eileen Myles A Trailblazer Whose Decades Of Literary And Artistic Work “Set A Bar Few Lives Could Ever Match”

Prolific and widely renowned, Eileen Myles is a trailblazer whose decades of literary and artistic work “set a bar for openness, frankness, and variability few lives could ever match” (New York Review of Books). This newest book paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of a beloved confidant: the pit bull called Rosie. In 1990, Myles chose Rosie from a litter on the street, and their connection instantly became central to the writer’s life and work. During the course of their sixteen years together, Myles was madly devoted to the dog’s well-being, especially in her final days. Starting from the emptiness following Rosie’s death, Afterglow launches a heartfelt and fabulist investigation into the true nature of the bond between pet and pet owner. Through this lens, we witness Myles’ experiences with...

Love Midcentury Aesthetics — But Can Do Without The Misogyny — Elizabeth Zott Is The Heroine For You

If you love midcentury aesthetics—but can do without the misogyny—Elizabeth Zott is the heroine for you. The 1960s chemist is unapologetic and brilliant, but sexism in her field makes it near impossible to advance. What a surprise, then, that an offer to host a cooking show turns out to be just the opportunity Elizabeth’s been waiting for. We love Bonnie Garmus’ precise, honest, no-nonsense protagonist, a single mother who initially agrees to her new gig solely to provide for her smart 10-year-old daughter, Madeline. Elizabeth approaches her job at Supper at Six in her unique way, hosting in a lab coat, giving proper chemical names for ingredients, and encouraging her viewers to take their dreams, abilities, and intelligence 100 percent seriously. Miranda Raison’s cool and matter-of-fact...

A Revelation Shared Between Two Privileged Teenagers Sets Off A Chain Of Events With Devastating Consequences

In the long-anticipated novel from the author of the critically acclaimed Beasts of No Nation, a revelation shared between two privileged teenagers from very different backgrounds sets off a chain of events with devastating consequences. On the surface, Niru leads a charmed life. Raised by two attentive parents in Washington, D.C., he’s a top student and a track star at his prestigious private high school. Bound for Harvard in the fall, his prospects are bright. But Niru has a painful secret: he is queer—an abominable sin to his conservative Nigerian parents. No one knows except Meredith, his best friend, the daughter of prominent Washington insiders—and the one person who seems not to judge him. When his father accidentally discovers Niru is gay, the fallout is brutal and swift. Coping ...
