  • Fashionista editors reveal their designer must-haves for warm days

    Gucci’s Men’s Cruise Collection 2018

    Lookbook Has Arrived

    This year’s reemergence feels particularly special after a prolonged period of dormancy. There’s a sense of urgency to get out and be seen like never before and we, at Fashionista, are taking it as a cue to invest in super-special pieces that will help us stand out for many springs and summers to come.
    With that in mind, we turned to Nordstrom’s designer offering to pick our warm-weather must-haves. From timeless leather bags in poppy hues to the most perfect daytime dresses, click through to see what Fashionista editors are buying — and lusting after — for sunnier days ahead.
    The day we switch our closets over from knits and padded layers to a rainbow assortment of cropped crochet tanks and breezy linen blouses is the most wonderful time of year. Not only does it mean that winter’s glacial wind has finally softened to become a sun-bathing whisper, but it also signals a sartorial refresh: If we hibernated in earth tones and wool, we can reemerge in daring silhouettes and bright colors.

    Warmer Weather Is Here! Ditch The Layers

    With April showers now behind us, it’s time we finally break out our spring outfits that don’t solely consist of trench coats and Wellies. Now that sunny days and above-60s temperatures are here to stay, our clothing options become infinitely more fun. Cut-outs, short hems, and look-at-me colors are big trends this season, which is perfect timing now that so many of us are vaxxed and we’re seeing more people in a day than just our reflection in the bathroom mirror. As jeans become jorts, sleeves become optional, and midriffs become visible, we’re here to take advantage of our springtime entrée back into the world.

  • 15 Reasons the Amish Were Right About Summers

    Gucci’s Men’s Cruise Collection 2018

    Lookbook Has Arrived

    Amish believe large families are a blessing from God. Amish rules allow marrying only between members of the Amish Church. The elderly do not go to a retirement facility; they remain at home.
    As time has passed, the Amish have felt pressures from the modern world; their traditional rural way of life is becoming more different from the modern society. Isolated groups of Amish populations may have genetic disorders or other problems of closed communities. Amish make decisions about health, education, relationships based on their Biblical interpretation. Amish life has influenced some things in popular culture.
    Having children, raising them, and socialization with neighbors and relatives are the greatest functions of the Amish family. Amish believe large families are a blessing from God. The main purposes of “family” can be illustrated within the Amish culture in a variety of ways. The family has authority over the individual throughout life. Loyalties to parents, grandparents, and other relatives may change over time but they will never cease. A church district is measured by the number of families (households), rather than by the number of baptized persons. Families take turns hosting the biweekly preaching service. Parents stress their responsibilities and obligations for the correct nurture of their children. They consider themselves accountable to the Lord for the spiritual welfare of their children.

    Their belief is that God has a personal and abiding interest in their lives

    Faith-based Amish traditions include wearing plain clothing, living in a simple manner and helping a neighbor in need. Church buildings with pews are traded for services in community homes, choirs for solemn hymns without music and professional pastors for community leaders.

    Awkwardness gives me great comfort. I’ve never been cool, but I’ve felt cool. I’ve been in the cool place, but I wasn’t really cool – I was trying to pass for hip or cool. Fashion never stops. There is always the new project, the new opportunity. I always say: To be well dressed you must be well naked.

    Springtime sets the foundation for the rest of the farming season in Lancaster County. As the winter ends and the ground begins to soften, the Amish are busy preparing their fields for planting. Make a trip to Lancaster during this time and you’ll witness our local farmers hard at work. Our visitors often discover teams of mules plowing fields or families hand planting tobacco plants. These are sights you don’t want to miss!

    A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous. I am convinced that there can be luxury in simplicity. I wanted to dress the woman who lives and works, not the woman in a painting. It’s hard to balance everything. It’s always challenging. My relationships with producers or photographers – these are relationships that took years. I can’t get sucked into that celebrity thing, because I think it’s just crass. My aim is to make the poor look rich and the rich look poor. Vanity is the healthiest thing in life. I believe that my clothes can give people a better image of themselves – that it can increase their feelings of confidence and happiness. You can hide so much behind theatrics, and I don’t need to do that any more. I don’t really know how to do casual clothes.

    If I fell in love with a woman for an artistic reason, or from the point of view of my work, I think it would rob her of something. We live in an era of globalization and the era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have women been more in control of their destiny.

  • 8 Genius Lightweight Foundations for Flawless Skin

    Gucci’s Men’s Cruise Collection 2018

    Lookbook Has Arrived

    After weeks spent collectively mourning the end of summer—a transition officially observed this Friday—one souvenir of a vacation well-spent usually lingers on into the new season: a healthy, sun-kissed glow.
    The goal is not to get in the way with heavy-handed makeup, to judge from the clean, barely touched complexions seen on the recent runways
    What you need is a stealth foundation: something that manages to blur stray imperfections while allowing your real skin to shine through.
    Of course, that’s not all that the latest multitasking lightweight formulas can do. Guerlain’s fall launch—seductively called Lingerie de Peau—marries a sheer veil of coverage with serious hydration, thanks to its Aqua Plump technology.

    Achieving flawless foundation is a major skill

    Foundation is a total game changer, and possibly one of THE most integral parts of any beauty look. If the shade is off or the blending isn’t on point, it can ruin the whole look. Achieving flawless foundation is also a major skill and there’s a lot of room for error – even the most seasoned pro can have a day where their foundation just does not behave! Remember, the aim is always to achieve incredible, healthy-looking skin not great foundation, and that’s what we’re going to help you do with these epic hacks and tips.

    It might sound obvious, but you should always read the label before purchasing a new product, especially a new foundation. First of all, check if a recommended skin type is listed; a hydrating formula is perfect for dry skin but it might not wear well on oily skin. Also, be mindful that oil-free foundations often oxidize (the shade becomes deeper) on oily skin throughout the day, so always ask for a tester before you buy.

    “I try as much as possible to give you a great basic product and what comes out, I feel, is really amazing.”

    Another factor to consider is SPF, as most SPF foundations contain zinc oxide or titanium oxide, which can cause flashback, AKA when your foundation gives you a grey-ish look in photos. Either avoid using foundations with SPF at nighttime or set your foundation with a tinted loose powder to eliminate flashback.
