Vanessa Hudgens celebrated year 34 in the most fitting birthday-girl dress. On Dec. 15, “The Princess Switch” actor shared a photo from festivities the day prior, wearing a sleek, light-blue slip dress while posing with a bundle of colorful balloons. From Sleeper, which is known for its luxury loungewear and signature feather trim, the statement piece was covered in feathers along the bust, while the silky fabric hugged Hudgens’s figure.

Gloves Are Great for All Kind of Protection

Nurses and doctors wear them all the time to protect themselves and their patients. Bikers and skate boarders wear gloves to avoid insuring their hands when they fall. In winter, we wear gloves to keep our hands insulated in cold weather. Famous dog mushers of the Yukon Quest or Iditarod wear them under their mittens. Doing so permits them quickly fixing problems with metal parts of equipment without freezing to it at often below -20F (-28.9oC). Gardeners use them to not get blisters from digging.

Summer nights with the boys – we went out biking and skateboarding the other night and let the kids stay up late. June is flying by and I’m like oh man Father’s Day is JUST around the corner.

I found some Father’s Day gifts while I was trying to brainstorm gift ideas for Cody so I put together some of my favorites from Amazon, some of my favorite splurge-worthy gift ideas, and also asked Cody what’s on his Father’s Day wishlist this year – there are options at all price points so you can find something that works for your or your kids budget and things that he’ll use and be excited for.

Let me know if you guys have any ideas this year for Father’s Day you’re excited about! The more inspo the better, right? ?

Ashley Graham went out for date night with husband Justin Ervin on Dec. 8 in nothing but a set of black underwear layered beneath a completely sheer maxi dress. On Thursday, the couple attended the Time Person of the Year Reception in New York City in coordinated black ensembles. Graham opted for a mesh hooded dress from the brand Interior’s fall/winter 2022 evening-wear collection, while Ervin looked dashing in a turtleneck layered under a single-breasted velvet blazer and black slacks.

“Uh-huh-honey?celebrating @time PERSON OF THE YEAR!!!” Graham captioned photos of her ensemble on Instagram. The model styled her look with jewelry by De Beers and Roger Vivier, including a set of diamond earrings and a drop necklace.

When you live in the South or somewhere with warm or mild winter, many everyday things of people in the north may not seem obvious on first view. They may even be totally unknown to you because they wouldn’t have a function or use at home. Read this real life story for an answer on “what is a plugin for a car?”, and for entertainment.

A Male Plug Hanging Out of the Hood

When I was the first time in Alaska for my job interview at the university, the wife of the search committee chair had picked me up at the hotel. I saw a male plug hanging out of the hood of her car. Therefore, I said to her “You have an extension cord hanging out of your hood.” She smiled and said “No, it’s just the male plug to connect

4th of July has always been one of my favorite holidays. We go up to my family’s cabin at the lake in Montana every year with my extended family and we’ve made years of memories spending time together, so it’s always been a magical holiday just knowing it will be family time together, keeping up years-long traditions and making new ones. Every year we do a tea party and charcuterie board, this year I wanted to attempt one before we left for Montana with some of our friends and family here- it’s been on my bucket list to do a counter charcuterie board  (savory and sweet!), so we went all out with festive drinks, and a s’mores bar.

Here are some of the best hacks I found for pulling off the ultimate 4th of July party. Don’t feel like you need to incorporate all of them! Even just adding 1

Just as it is for many people, my relationship with denim is complicated. I’ve found jeans I loved, but none without flaws. I resonated deeply with the recent conversation around standing jeans on TikTok. I’ve always accepted that I have standing jeans that look great on, but are too tight for all-day sitting. And then oppositely, I have sitting jeans that I’m not obsessed with style-wise, but that are actually comfortable enough to sit in for hours on end. However, a new pair of jeans from The Consistency Project (TCP) completely reframed my thinking around the two categories. In short, sitting jeans can be just as fashion-forward while still maintaining their comfort levels. (Also, I now simply call them jeans.)

The Significance of Miami

Miami is a lively city with a lot to express, not just a great place for retirees and vacation. Therefore, the Miami art scene is trying to find new ways to stand out artistically on a global scale. One way that they are working to accomplish this goal is by hosting more upscale art events within the city, especially during Miami Art Week.

Shopping for comfortable lingerie can be such a personal experience. Only you know what exactly makes you feel sexy and works for your body type — and oftentimes, it doesn’t even have anything to do with what’s being displayed on the mannequin. There’s arguably no better feeling than finding that perfect silk night gown, comfy lingerie piece, or even lace underwear style that you can effortlessly slip into come nighttime (or really any time of day) — though even as shopping editors, we’ll admit that the task of actually finding those styles is far from easy, which is why we’ve done all of the heavy lifting for you.

From modest, comfortable bras to tastefully
