'Cozy' is more of a feeling than anything. You can be in a suit, meeting with billionaires, but if you're confident, you feel cozy. You're in a room full of sharks and you're swimming very well. | | | | Rihanna's 2014 CFDA Awards Adam Selman dress memorialized in sock form as part of the singer's "Iconic Looks" collection for Stance.

| | rantnrave:// It seems crazy that American fashion magazine covers are still so white. FASHIONISTA points out that only three of the major titles in the category have non-white cover stars for their mighty September issues: TEEN VOGUE with AMANDLA STENBERG, INSTYLE with SELENA GOMEZ, and HARPER'S BAZAAR with THE WEEKND. For all of the progress in representation we have seen across media—social and traditional—it's a shame that a little girl wandering through WALGREENS with her mom will see almost nothing but thin white women staring her down the magazine aisle. Thankfully, this girl can head to YOUTUBE to learn beauty techniques from girls who look like her and open INSTAGRAM to get style ideas from girls with bodies like hers and interact directly with a celebrity—social or traditional—on TWITTER. Strategically publicized actresses promoting new movies and pop singers photographed in brands that just so happen to also be big advertisers is beyond stale... Is "Gen Z yellow" the new millennial pink?... How do you let a million dollars of sneakers get snatched??... I looove the RACKED series How Do You Shop?, which profiles the intimate spending habits of people from ordinary to extraordinary (if you like NEW YORK'S Sex Diaries or New York Diet, you will probably dig this, too). The latest installment: a 38 year old mom with a $52,500 salary who managed to pay off $20k in credit card debt!.. A bad way to spend money is designer duct tape. | | | - Nicola Fumo, guest curator |
