The Rise of ‘Tweakments’ (Glamour)

lede_social_final
The last time I got Botox, my dermatologist, Melissa Levin, M.D., asked me, “So you still want to have movement, right?” I nodded. I don't want my muscles to be frozen in place. I would just like to look the way I did in college, when I still got carded on Monday nights at the local Chili’s. These days I can order a margarita and they’ll just…bring it to me. I’m not alone in my desire to keep my face looking like my face. Tweakments, or super-small injections of neuromodulators and filler in order to create a natural result, are gaining in popularity. “A tweakment is not different from an injectables treatment per se, but I think of it as a minimal refinement to your...

Kaia Gerber Inspired The Ultimate Lockdown-Era Legging (VOGUE)

kaiapant
Loungewear as everyday wear may be having a moment right now, but in Malibu (where you’ll often see people in hoodies, sweatpants, and Uggs) comfort-first style has long been the accepted dress code. Small wonder then that the perfect lockdown-era legging should come courtesy of model and Malibu native Kaia Gerber in collaboration with Bleusalt, a line of luxe, locally-produced loungewear. Launched in 2017 by photographer-turned-designer Lyndie Benson, Bleusalt’s beach-friendly pieces are all made from a super-soft, sustainable, breathable, and machine washable fiber derived from beechwood tree pulp, and the line is already a firm favorite among locals like Jennifer Meyer, Patrick Dempsey (who designed a six-piece men’s capsule collection for the brand in 2018), Pierce Brosnan and Minnie Driver. The Gerber-Crawford...

Meet the Stylist Behind Beyoncé’s Epic Visual Album (VOGUE)

Unknown-220(1)
Zerina Akers is having a moment. The Maryland bred stylist has long been a familiar name to fashion insiders and members of the Beyhive, but her cultural impact has never been more evident. After six years of working with Beyoncé Knowles, curating the music legend’s wardrobe in music videos, Instagram posts, and on red carpets, last week she helped deliver Knowles’s magnum opus, Black is King. A bombastic trip through the star’s Lion King companion album, The Gift, and across the African continent, it serves as a showcase for both their talents. With more than a hundred different looks, each frame of the film overflows with fashion culled from runways, boutiques, designers yet to be discovered by the mainstream, and custom pieces Akers...

How to Give Yourself a Spa-Level Facial at Home, According to Experts (Allure)

diy20facial
Our audience misses their stylists, derms, and manicurists as much as we do. Here, in our new series, we bring experts straight to the Allure reader’s home for lessons on handling at-home beauty like a pro. Welcome to House Calls. While we're all stuck indoors (or should be) for the foreseeable future, treating yourself to a much-deserved facial may seem like a far-off, unimaginable luxury — but that doesn't mean you shouldn't continue to care for your complexion. On the contrary, while the outside world continues to manifest constant feelings of anxiety, fear, and uncertainty, it's more important than ever to take care of your own mental health, and one of the best ways to do so, we'd argue, is by bringing a sense...

unnamed-1-2
Armed with millions of followers, many top models today are often harnessing their platform for good and to spread resources and information that touch on more pressing global issues. (Alongside photos of them modeling, of course). Kaia Gerber and Cara Delevingne took their activism offline yesterday and attended a Black Lives Matter protest in Los Angeles together. The two friends attended a Black Lives Matter protest outside of the Hall of Justice in Los Angeles, California. The gathering saw protestors unite to condemn Los Angeles County’s unwillingness to prosecute police brutality. Delevingne and Gerber were seen sharing an embrace in the crowd. Later on, they met up with friend and actor Margaret Qualley, who was also at the protest. Delevingne has been vocal about the BLM movement on...

Jennifer Lopez On How She’s Quarantining, Her New Shoe Line, And Working From Home (ELLE)

gettyimages-1173036772
The shoe must go on. Jennifer Lopez was meant to be in her hometown of New York City today, where she was going to launch her new (and very good) footwear collection with DSW. Instead, like many of us, the hottest woman in the world is working from home. In her case, that means calling me from her house in LA, where the sounds of her laughing twins (Emme and Max, 12) echo in the background. "If I sound out of breath, it's not because I'm sick," she vows. "It's because I'm working out!" (Weight training, FYI.) "My [DSW] sneakers have quite a lift in them, actually," she says. "You know the sneakers with the really sick bottoms, like Balenciaga? That's the kind I...

The Capri in Marfa Shares Its Famous Grilled Avocado Guacamole Recipe (VOGUE)

Grilled20Avocado20Guacamole20-20Photograph20by20Douglas20Friedman
The universal recipe for a good guacamole, says Rocky Barnette, is perfectly ripe avocados, a good balance of salt, and lime. But he’ll also let you in on a little secret: the trick to a great guacamole is “a sneaking suspicion of cumin and a healthy drizzle of very fine extra virgin olive oil.” The chef of The Capri, the buzzy Marfa restaurant that’s become a symbol of the West Texas town’s artistic revival, recently released a new cookbook with his wife, Ballroom Marfa founder Virginia Lebermann. Called *Cooking in Marfa: Welcome, We’ve Been Expecting You*, it’s half recipes, half visual homage to the rolling plains and stark desert landscape that envelopes this remote, creative oasis. Their guacamole certainly isn’t the most interesting dish in the cookbook (that title...
