IT IS LOVE, VERA FA ME

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

Lingerie is a key wardrobe essential—after all, it’s the first thing you put on and the last thing you take off every day—and the best lingerie brands are designing underwear that anyone can appreciate. Think simple yet sexy styles that support and come in a wide range of sizes.

A handful of direct-to-consumer brands, like Cuup and ThirdLove, are leading by example in the realm of form-meets-function. Both are using technology—and real women’s measurements—to reengineer lingerie that’s more size-inclusive and representative of women’s bodies. Others, like Love, Vera, and Savage x Fenty, home in on the experience of wearing lingerie with materials and cuts that are slinky but also exceedingly comfortable.

On this list, you’ll find my faves from Love, Vera. Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, though, do you need a reason to shop!) Whether you’re looking for cute everyday separates or want to go all out for an at-home date night, we rounded up 5 of the best lingerie from Love, Vera.

This Trend Is Officially Outselling Jeans and Leggings

Published on by Lee3 Comments

Surprise, surprise—sweatpants are selling like crazy right now. I hope you read that with a healthy dose of sarcasm because based on the number of sweatpant stories we’ve published and my own personal lounge ‘fits, it’s abundantly clear that the humble sweatpant has achieved worldwide fame. In light of current events, sweatpants and joggers have become our daily staples where jeans once were.

What’s more, they’ve even outpaced our beloved leggings, previously a go-to for comfy style. According to a recent Edited report, leggings have seen a small uptick in sales, but sweatpants saw a 12% growth compared to last year, which leads me to believe that it’s not only us—everyone must be living in joggers at the moment. The report also noted that sellouts of sweatpants have officially outpaced both jeans and leggings, with a 115% increase from last year.

If that doesn’t validate your loungewear choices, I don’t know what will. To reinforce our findings, I’ve highlighted all the jogger micro-trends that are dominating the market right now, so scroll through this edit of the best joggers from Charlotte Russe for my Beauties to find your next pair.

Charlotte Russe Joggers:

High-Rise Fleece Jogger

SKU: 0507-39073469 $29.99 $15.00

The bread and butter of any loungewear wardrobe, gray sweats are the once-boring staple that has become a low-key trend in its own right. The fashion-girl outfits don’t lie.

Super Soft Black/White Tie-Dye Drawstring

SKU: 0507-30723456 $19.99 $10.00

The fact that 90% of the tie-dye joggers on the market are sold out right now tells me that everyone is clamoring to add the psychedelic print to their loungewear looks, and it’s easy to see why. While I did manage to find five in-stock options, I’ve seen a number of people going DIY with a pair of solid sweats.

Drawstring Black Plaid Cargo Jogger

SKU: 0514-51854879 $39.99 NOW $15.00

Not all joggers have to be thick fleece-lined sweats. In fact, nylon joggers, in the same vein as track pants, are a lightweight (but no less comfortable) option that feels cool and sporty. 

High-Rise Graphic Think Happy

SKU: 0538-03032003 $24.99 NOW $12.50

I don’t know about you, but nothing lifts my mood quite like a bright color palette. From pale pink to baby blue and light yellow, there are some seriously cute, colorful jogger options out there right now.

Linen Drawstring Jogger

SKU: 0912-14439140 $24.99

Lightweight linen joggers are the answer to rising temperatures and are signaling a whole new category of summer loungewear we previously hadn’t considered.

Power-Packed Essentials

This anti-aging set (which is perfect for mom!) contains three customer-favorite products — the Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate, Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing, and Dark Circle Diminishing Vitamin C Eye Serum and Super Multi-Corrective Anti-Aging Face and Neck Cream — to smooth, brighten and firm the skin. 

Brighten Up & Glow

If glowing skin is on your giftee’s wishlist this year (and who doesn’t want that?), the Brighten Up & Glow set is a perfect choice. It’s stacked with all of the products you need to build a healthy-skin routine from scratch with products like Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution and Ultra Facial Cream that brighten and moisturize. 

Midnight Recovery Duo

Give the gift of an upgraded nighttime routine with this Midnight Recovery Concentrate Duo, which has two full-size bottles of the classic overnight serum. We love this for a his-and-hers gift — or to stock up on extras if this oil is in constant rotation in your routine.

Ultra Hydrators

Winter is a recipe for dry, dehydrated skin, but this four-piece gift set is here to help. No matter who you’re shopping for, everyone could use more hydrating skin essentials like Creme de Corps and Ultra Facial Cream in their cold-weather skincare arsenal.

Men’s Groom-on-the-Go Set

Looking for a gift set he’ll use? You can’t go wrong with the face and body products included in this men’s grooming set. Inside, find four products: the Facial Fuel Energizing Face Wash for cleansing, Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream White Eagle for shaving, Facial Fuel Energizing Moisture Treatment for moisturizing, and Ultimate Man Body Scrub for exfoliating. 

Healthy Hands Trio

Pair frequent hand sanitizing and washing with cold temps outside and it’s a recipe for dry hands and rough cuticles. That’s why we’re positive this three-piece hand cream set will be put to good use. The mini moisturizers are perfect to throw in every jacket pocket or handbag. 

Men’s Fueled Up Favorites 

Does your partner constantly steal your skincare? It’s probably time to stock his shelf with skincare of his own — and this collection has everything he needs to get started. It contains the Facial Fuel Energizing Scrub, Facial Fuel Body Wash, Midnight Recovery Facial Oil, and Ultra Facial Cream. 

Merry Masking 

Self-care Sunday is getting a major upgrade with this adorable, nature-inspired masking gift set.

Kiss Me With Kiehl’s 

With mistletoe season officially here, this lip balm set is perfect for the holiday season. The gift contains the original Lip Balm #1 as well as the cherry and mint too. They’ll keep lips hydrated through the cold weather and underneath a face mask. 

Kiehl’s E-Gift Card 

The holidays look a little different this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so if you’re not going to be able to see loved ones IRL, send them a gift card straight to their inbox. It’s an easy, last-minute gift idea that’s bound to put a smile on their face.

The Cult Affordable Basic Every Fashion Person Owns

Published on by Lee7 Comments

If there’s one piece that has defined fashion in 2020, it’s the padded shoulder tee. Yep, the wardrobe basic officially rose to cult status this year and it’s easy to see why. By adding statement-making shoulder pads to a standard tee, the ‘80s detail instantly updates a regular basic, making it the perfect Zoom-ready piece to slip into. While it started out as a trend we first saw with sleeveless muscle tops, shoulder pad details have since made their way to sleeved T-shirts as well as dresses.

Fashion people are definitely on board and have been debuting plenty of must-repeat looks wearing the upgraded basic. From outfits with sweatpants and sneakers to tailored trousers and boots, there’s lots of inspiration for how to style the cool staple ahead. And yes, you can count me as a big personal fan of the trend. I always have my eye on the best new fashion finds and this one has stuck with me all year. Trust me, you’ll want to get shopping.

Does it get any more simple or chic?

Here are some style tips to wear your padded tops:

♡ Bold color.

♡ Paired with Bermuda shorts and heels, you will have the perfect outfit.

♡ Just add slouchy trousers. This will elevate your look and it’ll look more expensive, specially if you wear heels and gold jewelry.

♡ Looking for a fresh way to wear your sweatpants and sneakers? This is it.

♡ Add sleeve padded tee and padded sweaters to your wardrobe.

♡ Mini skirt + Padded Tee = Yep, the perfect piece to wear

♡ And yes, there are stunning padded dresses as well.

♡ Pair with fall boots and top off with a trench coat.

♡ A way to style a padded shoulders muscle t-shirt and make your look more chic, is to pair it with leather pants, shorts, a skirt, anything leather really. Definitely an outfit I would wear 24/7 if I was in New York.

♡ Keep it basic. Padded shoulders make me feel more put together and they add more structure to an outfit. Keep your look simple & cute by pairing your padded shoulders muscle t-shirt with jeans. Throw on gold jewelry, sandals, a cute baguette bag and you’re good to go! You can wear the t-shirt with loose mom jeans or skinny jeans – you’ll look cute AF no matter what.
