Reviewed: Why Fashion Girls Love The Folklore

By anita 1 month ago

What inspired you to start your business?

My undergraduate experience inspired me to start The Folklore. While attending Rutgers, I majored in African American and African Studies. Before I started the program, I had not been exposed to that much Black literature, art, and innovation. Many of the people I studied the most during college—James Baldwin, W.E.B. Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston—all produced work that was impactful and pushed Black social, economic, and political agendas forward. I decided then that I would dedicate all of my career pursuits to serve the same purpose.

Having had experience in the fashion media space and in e-commerce, I knew I could build a platform that would provide African designers with the ability to further monetize their brands through capturing the attention of global audiences. Fashion is a major revenue driver in countries around the world—it employs so many people. I wanted to start

Kate Middleton Is Infatuated With These 4 Pieces of Jewelry

By anita 1 month ago

When it comes to Kate Middleton‘s jewelry, everyone immediately thinks about the iconic sapphire-and-diamond engagement ring that was given to her from the late Princess Diana‘s personal collection. It’s striking, full of history, and probably priceless. That said, the rest of her jewelry box is also worth spotlighting too, even if the pieces aren’t quite as famous. For starters, it includes a pair of earrings that were also from Lady Di and almost match her legendary ring. 

Kate Middleton clearly plays favorites with her royal jewelry, as she is routinely photographed wearing the same few pieces over and over. Her Annoushka pearl drop earrings are definitely among my favorite pieces. They’re practical and subtle yet timeless and chic—the perfect combination if you ask me. Scroll down to see Kate Middleton’s favorite earrings and necklaces, and shop pieces without royal price tags.

The Essential Types of Lingerie to Add to Your Collection

By anita 1 month ago

With each new season comes a fresh batch of trends in every category, from shoes to handbags to jeans, and lingerie is no different. While you might not think to update the types of lingerie in your top drawer as often as you would with other items, they’re no less important to shop for. I’d even go so far as to say that there’s never a better time to invest in quality and stylish undergarments than right now. You know, if chilling at home in a pretty underwear set is your kind of vibe.

For the record, it’s a lot of people’s vibes these days and I’d be lying if I said that the current state of the world hasn’t had a big influence on the kinds of lingerie that everyone is gravitating towards. More and more, pieces that offer comfort and the ability to look cute while lounging

The Best Place to Buy Affordable Jewelry That Looks Pricey

By anita 1 month ago

As much as I like the prices of costume jewelry, I’m very wary of cheap jewelry looking, well, cheap. I’m of the mindset that with all of the well-priced fine jewelry brands out there now, I’d rather just save up for something a little more substantial. That is, until I discovered & Other Stories’ jewelry section. In case you weren’t already aware, it’s seriously good. 

I’ve long been a fan of & Other Stories’ pretty dresses, chic blazers, and perfect denim, all of which look far more expensive than they are, so I’m hardly surprised that they won me over with the jewelry too. Tons of trends are present and accounted for (including chunky gold rings, organic pearls, and curb chains), and all but one piece currently is under $50, but no one would know. Ready to join the fan club with me?

We Tried a Treatment to Detoxify Our Scalps, and It Worked

By anita 1 month ago

Cleansing, moisturizing, and masking are just a few (of the many) steps in my skincare routine—things I would never think to skip—but somehow, I’ve never really had the same mindset when it comes to my scalp, which is skin, too, people! I don’t know if it’s because I’m getting older, more stressed, or just haven’t been to the salon in months, but my head is in desperate need of some TLC, and it finally has my attention.

If I want healthy, strong hair, my scalp needs to be healthy sans any buildup from excess sebum, dead skin cells, pollutants, or products. Which means I need a treatment that can cleanse and exfoliate thoroughly to remove product residue, dry shampoo, and general grime. Scalp care might not be the most glamorous, but I’m willing to do whatever it takes to feel and look my best, and my co-workers feel the same.

G-String Bras Are the New Lingerie Trend Taking Hold

By anita 1 month ago

Step aside, string bikinis and thongs—bras want in on the dental floss action too. Lately, I’ve been noticing a ton of bras with ultra-thin bands and straps, which is why I’ve dubbed them G-string bras. I know not everyone will be a fan of this skimpy lingerie trend, as most styles only offer light coverage. However, if you are excited to try a barely-there bra, this look is super cute for showing off under semi-sheer or backless tops. Plus, it’s in line with some people’s summer philosophy of wearing as little as possible. 

At first, I was having trouble finding enough examples to compile a story, but then I kept coming across these G-string bras left and right, proving that it’s a major trend. Some of the most popular lingerie brands all have versions of the razor-thin trend, including Hanky Panky, Cosabella, Kiki de Montparnasse,
