One of the most consistent pieces of advice I’ve gotten while pregnant (I’m writing this now three weeks from my due date, hello) was to read Emily Oster’s 2013 book, Expecting Better. In it, Oster applies her training as a health economist to the science of pregnancy and childbirth, juxtaposing conventional medical advice with interpretation. […]
On Thursday April 18, surveillance cameras captured video of a woman throwing seven three-day-old puppies in a dumpster near Coachella in the heat of the California desert.

Claire Stapleton and Meredith Whittaker each detailed that they were demoted from their roles within the company following the walkout. Whittaker […]
Brienne of Tarth is one of the only characters in Game of Thrones that I can say with full confidence is definitely good. (Spoilers ahead — you’ve been warned.) She’s been nothing if not loyal to those she pledges to protect — sometimes to her own detriment — and she’s led a life that is […]
Whether it’s a mismatched collar or a dramatic sleeve, almost everything London-based designer Rejina Pyo creates has a detail (or two or three) that makes you go ooh! She’s often ahead of the curve — her modern take on the prairie dress was the standout street-style outfit during New York Fashion Week 2017. This season, […]
Sustain/Ability: Stories about how fashion impacts the environment.

Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, nobody freak out. Please, I said DO NOT FREAK OUT, but Meghan Markle’s mom and Oprah’s friend, Doria Ragland, has landed on U.K. soil, which means that the much-anticipated royal family-USA Network collaboration baby could arrive at any moment. Oh my God. Two sources told Entertainment […]
