This TikTok-Famous Kendra Scott Necklace Is the Perfect Last-Minute Gift

Recently, I’ve noticed a TikTok trend where people share items on their holiday wish list, and the Kendra Scott Elisa Pendant Necklace ($60, originally $70) is a frequent favorite. Once I discovered that the Elisa necklace secured the No. 1 spot on Amazon’s list of top 100 bestselling jewelry pieces, I knew I had to try it. Opting for a silver chain and the “iridescent drusty” colored pendant, a sparkly grayish stone that I knew would complement any outfit, I added it to my cart. Below, I’ll break down everything you need to know about it and why it’s an ideal last-minute gift. read more

Warum sind Männer in Weihnachtsfilmen so toxisch?

In 2021 war mein erster Weihnachtsfilm eine Netflix-RomCom, Love Hard. Die dreht sich um Natalie (Nina Dobrev), die an Weihnachten ans andere Ende der USA reist, um den Mann zu überraschen, den sie seit ein paar Wochen virtuell datet. Der Twist? Als sie ankommt, stellt sie fest, dass Josh (Jimmy O. Yang) sie gecatfisht hat: Der Typ auf seinen Fotos ist nicht wirklich er. Love Hard hakt so viele Punkte auf dem klassischen Weihnachtsfilm-Wunschzettel ab: zwei sehr attraktive Darsteller:innen, eine unerwartete Lovestory, grandiose Sprüche. Ich meine, die Hauptcharaktere singen sogar eine Version von „Baby, It’s Cold Outside“, die den frauenfeindlichen Unterton des Originals kritisiert. Aber als der Film zu Ende war, fühlt ich mich irgendwie komisch – irgendwie unbefriedigt. Denn der Film endet (und dieser *Spoiler Alert!* ist sehr vorhersehbar) damit, dass sich Josh und Natalie ineinander verlieben und sie seinen Identitätsbetrug abwinkt, als sei das bloß ein blöder kleiner Streit gewesen.  read more

Feeling Tired? Say No To Festive Plans Like These Women Have

“Many people struggle with taking on more than they can manage both at work and in their personal lives and this can easily lead to overwhelm and even burnout being not appropriately addressed,” she warns. Even the small things add up — and cutting some of them out of your schedule can have a big impact on your wellbeing. Kiran Bird, 29, who works in PR, recently said no to dinner plans with a friend, after a feeling “like I physically couldn’t be ‘on’”. She felt bad and “ummed and ahhed over the decision”. Instead, with the time she gained from declining dinner, she rested at home, watched Netflix and spent time with her pet rabbit.  read more

The 6 Pieces You Need to Get Jane Birkin’s Iconic Style

We’d be hard-pressed to find a style icon whose influence has made quite as long-lasting an impact on us as Jane Birkin’s. There’s no denying that the fashion world was pulling major inspiration from the English-French actress’s plethora of perfectly retro 1970s looks. The singer and model, whose effortless waves and fringey bangs are as classic as the outfits she wore, continues to provide the ultimate easygoing yet sultry style. Whether she was wearing jeans and a T-shirt or a satiny number, Birkin always had a certain effortless vibe about her. So much so that there are a number of clothing items that have become synonymous with her. Birkin-inspired pieces like breezy off-the-shoulder tops, classic-cut jeans that will never go out of style, and, of course, the omnipresent basket bag that still remains so relevant. Although the je ne sais quoi of French-girl fashion often eludes us, today we’re making it easier than ever to emulate the style of one of France’s most well-known style stars. read more
