Prefer an evening at an indie cinema over binge-playing World Of Warcraft in a poorly ventilated basement? Now, thanks to a student project at NYU’s Gaming Center, even Wes Anderson fans have a reason to want to forego daylight and an eight-hour sleep cycle to play Maquisard, a video game inspired by The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Fashion bloggers, the industry's scrappiest and sometimes hardest working players, have a lot to contribute, and they're not going anywhere. But that doesn't mean that they (we) aren't guilty of some habits that are really, really ridiculously annoying!
Since the news broke about Scott and Kourtney's split (thanks to his alleged indiscretions with stylist Chloe Bartoli, among other things), Instagram users have taken it upon themselves to leave disparaging comments on Bartoli's posts, calling her a "whore", a "homewrecker", "ugly", and claiming she knowingly broke up a family.
I packed light (for me) for my recent trip to the Tideline Ocean Resort and Spa, so these Balenciaga sandals were pivotal for transitioning from running around snapping pics to pre-dinner drinks; they're all it takes to dress up my trademark off duty black jeans-and-a-tank look.
Always one to dress for the occasion (even if the occasion does result in accidentally defrosting my food) I've been wearing lots and lots of super breezy sundresses - the lighter and airier, the better.
The hottest happenings from the past week? Check my Fashion News column at Bustle.com. Here are the top headlines. Hint: Taking selfies just got easier (and chicer), Givenchy's runway had sky-high highs (winged eyeliner, lilac lace, Kendall, Candice and Naomi) and very low lows (inmate fashion, men in skirts), and Bonobos is running the most apropos fundraiser ever.
Lobo Mau and its ferocious mascot are becoming something of a cult symbol in Haddad's native Philadelphia, and with fans as far away as Cali and Brazil, I anticipate that the wolf will reach icon status soon - glad I snapped this tee up while I could!
I'm much more at home in a dress than I am in jeans and a sweatshirt. But when a dress feels like - nay, is quite literally made out of - a sweatshirt like this black and white dress from indie label Lobo Mau, it's never coming off. (Sorry, fellows.)
Summertime strolling in the Boston Commons. For this casual afternoon look, I opted for chic sportif in a breezy Hawaiian print tank top, track pants that are kicked up a notch with a leather waistband, and a tropical baseball cap to keep the sun in check - and my hair in place.
Alexa Buckley and Sarah Pierson, founders of Margaux. a newly-launched line of custom, made-to-measure ballet flats, spent four years at Harvard before making the move to NYC to start their company. For these ballet-flat-loving beauties, the future is bright and the cocktails are hard-earned. See where the ladies love to eat, shop and play in both cities.
I tend to wear yoga pants like, a lot. But I can safely say I'm equally at home in a silk dress, even if it's just for an impromptu stroll through the South End. Although I'm just real-estate gawking and stoop-sitting this weekend, I can't wait to take this dress out for a summer wedding, baby shower, or rooftop cocktail party.
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication," said Leonardo da Vinci, but you don't need to tell designer Gina deWolfe that. Earlier this year, she launched her eponymous line, deWolfe, opening with the Wolfepack, a sleek, no-frills leather backpack-satchel.
Merriam-Webster has given 1,700 words and phrases their nod of approval, incorporating lingo like "jeggings", "sharing economy", and my personal favorite, "vocal fry", into the dictionary for 2015. Surely, "twerk" is a crucial addition to our vocabularies, and, society.
Last month, I went to a whiskey tasting event. Two hours, three pages of handwritten notes - front and back - and six pours of whiskey from Ireland, Scotland, Kentucky and Japan later, I feel like I could walk up to any mixologist behind a mahogany-paneled bar and hold my own in a convo about the "Water of Life".
Nervous System has been churning - er, printing - out incredibly complex, lightweight, and nature-inspired jewelry and accessories since 2007. Recently, however, the Somerville-based company has added clothing to the mix with their new line, Kinematics, which boasts a bodice and a dress, as well as accessories like the Tetra 175n necklace.
The opening-up of boundaries by blogs and insta-fashion is on its way out like last season's It-Bag. The No Trespassing signs are about to go back up, rendering fashion once again Private Property.
Black hair, black dress, black leather pants - I'm clearly on a kick. Me, the same girl who thinks orange is the new neutral. And it all started with the pants.
When I wear black and white, I tend to go all the way, right down to the sandals. Here's what I wore for a casual stroll along Charles Street (and some pastry-stalking at Tatte bakery).
I sat down with Stella McCartney before the MSPCA-Angell fundraiser at Saks Boston to talk jumpsuits, women in business, and what it will take to make real fur finally go out of style.
Boston and its neighboring suburbs are made up of an incredibly diverse population. With new residents seeking style, the city's fashion and retail landscapes have shifted to accomodate them, and changes are evident in both street-style and brick-and-mortar developments alike.
