The World’s Most Expensive Purse

What’s the most you’d pay for a bag? A few thousand? A few hundred thousand? It’s not all too common, which is why I’m puzzled as to why this Mouawad purse costs a whopping $3.8 million.

That’s right, $3.8 million. The purse, called the “1001 Nights Diamond Purse” features 4,517 diamonds (of the yellow, pink and colorless variety), totaling 381.92 carats. This purse, which is currently on display at a mall in Dubai took 8,800 hours and ten people to make.

Mouawad is also the company who made Victoria’s Secret’s $11million “Very Sexy Fantasy Bra”

Men Like Women With Curves

Summer is right around the corner, which means the Instagram photos are making an early debut. From fitness results to bikini pictures, all I’ve seen for the past two weeks are ribcages and flat butts. While our society has always praised the skin and bones look, I think it’s time we retire it and bow [...]

Peter Som x Anthropologie

It’s been a whopping three days since the news of a high/low designer collaboration has been broken, so of course, we’re way behind on hearing of a new one. Although the news of Anthropologie’s Made in Kind initiative is not new, their latest installment certainly is. Anthropologie’s latest, and perhaps biggest, collaboration has just been [...]

Fat Shaming Starts At An Early Age

Every single woman in the world is guilty of fat shaming. Whether it’s against a peer, an enemy, a stranger or yourself, women are so quick to call out another woman on her weight. It seems to be the most effective and hurtful form of criticism, and it’s sad that we all use weight as [...]

A Model Covering US Vogue Is A Rare Occurrence Today

Years ago, models were everything. They fronted every major campaign, walked down every runway, and were considered to be celebrities as much as Hollywood’s biggest blockbuster’s leading lady. Today, when people think of a model, they think of Karlie Kloss. Ultra thin, ultra tall and primarily working the runways and editorial spreads in Vogue magazine. [...]

A Life Of Comfort Will Kill You Silently

The idea of being comfortable seems appealing to a vast majority of people. This is why we see so many people remain in jobs and relationships they are not happy in.
