This past summer, OG teenpop queen Britney Spears returned with her Glory album. And this past week, Spears released a new version of the bubbling album track "Slumber Party" that featured spacey R&B star Tinashe. Today, she unveiled the glossy, sexed-up "Slumber Party" video, which takes place at one of those big, mysterious Eyes … More »
I cam across this incredible Parisian real estate/ renovation and design site A+B Kasha and fell MADLY, MADLY in love with everything I saw. Of course, as with most things, the French just do it better. And that goes for architecture too. Don’t get me wrong, a love a good, old New England Greek Revival- but the details found in the old apartment buildings in Paris are hard to beat. And I adore seeing a development company like this really celebrating all the gorgeous historical millwork, hardware and small accents that really make these spaces works of art. And seeing them empty and pristine like this just shows how much potential is there for decorating!
Get ready to SQUEAL.
Look at all that detailed crown and millwork. And the FLOOR! And windows. And the LIGHT! The light in Paris is just special.
Not too shabby.
Again with the light! It’s almost absurd how special it is!
Nothing to see here, just the cutest damn doorway out to a spectacular balcony with insane ironwork. No biggie.
*speechless*
Can you not picture yourself making a morning coffee here? With a warm croissant? And soft jazz playing? I’m gonna go cry now…
This old mirror and stone tub brilliantly salvaged and look extra special against the freshly renovated bathroom.
STOP IT WITH THAT FLOOR!!!!
NO stop I’m dying!
This makes me want to weep it’s so beautiful.
Even with light switches in a hallway are perfection.
Okay, I found something I don’t like- that weird island with the half wall. Not my cup of tea. But notice the sliding doors that can shut the kitchen off from the living room. I think it’s nice to have things separated sometimes- I’m thinking we’re going to go back to that after all this HGTV “open floorplan” business.
Okay, not check out these built ins- looks like a fully paneled wall– but just kidding, it’s a TV and an insane amount of storage! GENIUS!
Let’s all have a moment of silence for what might be the most stunning living area I’ve ever seen.
Confirmed, this is the best ever. Of all the things.
I am honestly having heart palpitations looking at these pictures.
The simplest, most stunning kitchen vignette. Also, who has one of these stoves? they are so gorgeous but can you actually cook in the ovens? A friend wants to know….
Oh wait, more of that #mostperfectapartmentever.
What a dump.
I can feel the soft breezes and hear the sounds of the street below just looking at this! They just don’t build them like this anymore folks!
The brilliance is in the smallest of doorknobs and daintiest of trims…
Before you go click on their site to see EVEN MORE images like this and beyond be sure you have the next hour free to do so because holy design rabbit hole folks, it sucks you in!
Now, it’s almost impossible to authentically replicate this look in a home that isn’t really old and also IN PARIS, but there are ways you can get a little bit of this feeling stateside.

Madonna and I are very different, just saying...I wouldn't make that comparison at all. I don't mean to disrespect Madonna. You know, she's a nice lady (lol) and she's had a fantastic huge career, she's the biggest pop star of all time. But (Gaga's voice cracks) I play a lot of instruments, I write all my own music, I spent hours and hours a day in the studio, I'm a producer, I'm a writer. What I do is different.
SOURCE That's cool, Madonna doesn't play a lot of instruments but she does everything else Gaga stated, and more. Just saying
Happy Friday Everyone! The weather has been weird here in Maryland. Last week we were in the low 50's to 40's. This week we are in the 60's to high 80's. So there for you have no clue what to wear. Since it fall time and warm out. I decide to go ahead a take a chance.
With this pink sweater today. Since it is very light weight. If I get to hot. I can just remove my sweater and wear the dress shirt. Plus still have a great outfit for work today. When I was plan this outfit for work today. I didn't realize how many different textures I had going on. It wasn't until I was writing this post I notice it. Which I have to tell you all. I really like how this outfit turned out.
As for my earring today. I made a little change to them. I have had these earring for 4 years but hardly ever wear them. Do to they were super heavy. Since they were original chandler earring. So today I decide to give them another shoot. I put them on again.
Which the heaviness didn't change at all. So I grab a pair of needle nose pilers and then undid the jump ring. Then I remove the chandler part of the earring. After I removed the chandler part. I closed the jump ring back up. Now I have a brand new pair of earring. That I can wear. Plus there no longer heavy and I will get more use out of them.
I’ve been using a face oil by True Botanicals every day for a year. Its effect is dramatic enough that when I run out or miss a few days while traveling, my skin visibly feels it (hi, dry patches!).… Read more

“nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know…nothing ever really attacks us except our own confusion. perhaps there is no solid obstacle except our own need to protect ourselves from being touched. maybe the only enemy is that we don’t like the way reality is now and therefore wish it would go away fast. but what we find as practitioners is that nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know. if we run a hundred miles an hour to the other end of the continent in order to get away from the obstacle, we find the very same problem waiting for us when we arrive. it just keeps returning with new names, forms, manifestations until we learn whatever it has to teach us about where we are separating ourselves from reality, how we are pulling back instead of opening up, closing down instead of allowing ourselves to experience fully whatever we encounter, without hesitating or retreating into ourselves.”

i have this and it works pretty well! you're supposed to do it twice a day for an entire month which i haven't done yet but it does seem to work!
Finally, a tooth-whitening solution for me
Hoo baby!!!
Having white teeth is a scam, but I still want them anyway. Ever since my preferred whitening strips were discontinued a couple of years ago, I’ve been on the lookout for something that fulfills my needs of both working and not sucking, and I think I’ve finally found it.
Here’s the deal: Products like Crest White Strips can strip enamel and leave your teeth really sensitive to cold and heat, and the effects of those laser lights the Kardashians plug on Instagram seem psychosomatic at best. What you’re left with options-wise after that is stuff like brushing baking soda and hydrogen peroxide onto your teeth, or elective whitening treatments at your dentist’s office, and who has that kind of time and expendable income? So these past couple years I’ve been brushing and flossing and making due with my natural tooth color, but it turns out I’m an idiot.
After filling my Amazon cart with my usual trash last week, I noticed their recommendations rail had something promising in it: charcoal tooth-whitening powder. Customers like me often pair it with some of the items I’d already purchased, so I clicked around to see what the deal is, and you guys—every single one of them is satisfied. The reviews were all positive. There was testimonial after testimonial about how easy the product was to use, and picture after picture of someone’s coffee-stained Before teeth right alongside their less-stained After teeth. I know what paid Amazon reviews look like, fam, and these were not them.
Since the price point was low (less than $20 when a box of White Strips will set you back $30+, easy), I ordered the powder then and there. As you can see from the picture, there’s not much to the product itself—it’s like someone took a bunch of charcoal sticks from your high school art classroom, ground them up, and is selling them online. The brand I purchased has only four ingredients*, so there’s no secret science for it to hide behind. Apparently putting charcoal on your bones just whitens them. Sick.
The application process goes as follows:
Wet the tip of your toothbrush.
Gently dip your bristles into the charcoal powder until they get nice n’ chalky at the ends.
Brush continuously for a minute or two. You will look like that old tumblr meme celebrities with no teeth. Are you a Lovato or a Drake? Use this time to decide.
Spit out some jarring, jet black sludge. The texture will be like normal spit, but it will look like something that seeps out of a deep sea vent. The visual is metal and cool and a great way to start your day.
Rinse clean.
Have good teeth.
That’s all! That’s the whole deal!
And hey, I’m not your doctor. Who knows what’s best for you? All I’m gonna say is that you’re allowed to scrub charcoal dust all over your teeth if you want to, and when you do, they might just get cleaner and whiter.
A few weeks ago, the Norwegian production duo Röyksopp teamed up with singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør for the new single "Never Ever," a bright and sticky piece of cheesed-out disco euphoria.

Queer New Jersey spitfire Cakes Da Killa is set to drop Hedonism next month.

Emma Stone attends the opening ceremony and premiere of “La La Land” during the 73rd Venice Film Festival at Sala Grande in Venice, Italy.
WOW! Has Miss Emma been on a style roll every since she disembarked in Venice? Because this color looks amazing on her! The sparkle is just right for —
Dammit.
We think she may have lost us with the skirt, but everything from the waist up is pretty great. This may not be a hundred percent to our tastes, but it’s still a pretty good look, making for two in a row. She’s not always, shall we say, consistent in her red carpet style choices, but we’re digging her sudden embrace of Italian designers. They seem to be doing right by her.
No cat owner would ever consider wearing this dress.

Beyoncé attends the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Oh, thank GOD. The VMAs happened and now we have a ton of crazy-ass couture to talk about. Thank you, music video stars of the world. You have done God’s work here.
And speaking of which…
Alrighty then.
Let us first stipulate that, when she was given the stage all to herself, Bey reached up into the rafters of Madison Square Garden and pulled the whole damn thing to the ground. It was a performance for the ages. They’ll be talking about that one a decade from now.
Having said that, and risking retribution from the hive, we have to follow up with:
GURL…
Come on now. If Fraggle Rock had drag queens, this is what they’d look like. Also: Barbie crotch is never chic. Reconsider any future plans for its deployment.
Blue Ivy is adorable, of course. She will cherish the memories of this night, when she got to be a princess and mommy got to call daddy a cheating sack of shit on live TV.

Zachary Quinto attends the press conference of “Star Trek Beyond” at Indigo Mall in Beijing, China.
Wow. Where was he hiding this look?
That’s better than anything we’ve seen him wear on a red carpet in years. Why did he save it for a press conference? Especially since it doesn’t look very comfortable when he’s sitting. It’s definitely a stand-and-pose outfit.
Sure, he looks a little bit like a bellhop, but we’ll take that over looking like an accountant or Secret Service agent any day of the week. If there’s anything we’d quibble with, it’s the matching shirt. That’s what takes it to “uniform.”
