The swim scene has come a very long way. Where itty bitty string bikinis were once de rigeur for looking sexy at the beach and by the pool, we’re now opting for on-trend bathing suits that don’t show off too much skin and rather show off just enough. To prove it, we’re calling out the Goldilocks of swimsuits: one-pieces of the low-back variety. High up front (to avoid any wave-induced slippage) and low in back, these pieces officially end the days of compromising coverage for sex appeal.
Gwen Stefani proved the muppetcore fashion aesthetic can also be chic at the CMT Music Awards on April 2. The singer and GXVE Beauty founder arrived to the award show in a head-to-toe Valentino couture look, most prominently featuring fuzzy boots that just might be more controversial than Miu Miu’s thong boots. Stefani’s Y2K-inspired shoes were adorned with tiers of thin black feathers that trailed down from her knees and concealed a chunky platform. The shaggy footwear was damn-near impossible to ignore as she made her way down the red carpet with husband Blake Shelton.

Upon putting the necklace on, I was immediately impressed. It looked… good. There’s a reason this necklace isn’t just available on Amazon, but also at luxury retailers like Nordstrom and even Goop. The bullet, which is about 3.5 inches long and hangs from a 26-inch chain, is available in three elegant finishes: silver, rose gold, and 24k gold (all at differing price points). I chose the rose gold since I already had a similar-looking necklace in silver. Honestly, with my entire outfit, it looked just like a normal piece of trendy jewelry. Even if it didn’t have vibrating capabilities, I could see myself wearing it. That’s because it doesn’t really look like a vibrator at all, hence the appeal.
“The resale value of Hermès depends on the style, type of leather, and hardware,” Le Prix shares. “The power behind the Hermès brand is due to their limited quantities. This creates an unparalleled level of scarcity and exclusivity other brands have yet to achieve. While there’s no such thing as an Hermès waiting list, there is a certain waiting period for your dream Birkin or Kelly—depending on your relationship with your Hermès salesperson, the amount spent at Hermès over some time, and pure luck.
