Victoria’s Secret Angels hosted the “Villa Victoria” styling suite in L.A. this week

Posted on by Tom

Model Martha Hunt just wrapped hostess duties at an intimate dinner capping the weeklong “Villa Victoria” styling suite in Los Angeles with Victoria’s Secret. “Throughout the week, several events were held in the home hosted by Victoria’s Secret Angels where VIPs, influencers, stylists and more were able to check out the latest collections,” according to the press release. Those events included an opening cocktail party, “Bombshell Body Spa,” a “Slay Then Rosé” workout class/lunch, and finally a dinner hosted by Victoria’s Secret Angel Martha Hunt where guests apparently had their dreams analyzed by a popular dream interpreter.

The styling suite featured summer essentials from newly launched bra, lingerie and beauty collections including the new Cotton T-Shirt Bra Collection, Sexy Illusions, Dream Angels, Sexy and Casual Sleepwear, Bombshell Body Collection, Bombshell Summer Fragrance and Victoria Sport.

“Bachelor” alum Lauren Bushnell attended the Rosé workout:

Looks like the event was a success. We’ll look for the invite in the mail next year!

Love Goodly collaborated with Kaley Cuoco for their June/July subscription beauty box, which will benefit Paw Works where Kaley has been a board member since 2016. “I am thrilled to support pups in-need and Paw Works, with Love Goodly’s box of Kaley-inspired, eco and animal friendly beauty products,” Kaley said. The box is full of beauty and wellness goodies, including Nail & Bone Nail Polish, Pacifica Lipstick XOX, Antonym Natural Eyeliner, and a Dogeared Charm Necklace. Best of all, the makeup products are all vegan, nontoxic and cruelty free, and the necklace is also fair trade. The $30 boxes will ship on June 5 and are valued at over $100. Spring for the VIP box for under $50 and snag a Saint Bronzer in Glowing Halo. Sounds like quite a haul!

This smart dog feeder will decide how much food to serve

Posted on by Tom

The Serve Smart Feeder was just introduced by pet lifestyle company Wagz, and the video-enabled device will both portion and serve your pup’s food on your schedule. “More than just an automatic feeder, the device pairs with the soon-to-launch Wagz Explore Smart Collar to portion food based on the precise activity levels of each individual dog,” according to the press release. “It knows when you’re running low and can automatically order more food to be shipped to your door before you run out.” The device is also now integrated with Amazon Dash Replenishment, which makes that food re-order even easier. Once the smart collar launches later this summer, it will connect with other Wagz products including the Serve Smart Feeder, Go Smart Door, Play Smart Treat Dispenser, and Drink Smart Water Dish.

Honestly now we’re wondering if our dogs will even need us at all anymore…

Serena wearing sneakers as formalwear is #goals

Posted on by Tom

New mom Serena Williams attended the royal wedding over the weekend and looked incredible as always. She wore a pale pink dress, hat and pumps to the ceremony, then later changed into a different evening ensemble that included a pair of sporty black Valentino sneakers. Here’s to hoping this becomes a major trend and we’re all wearing sneaks to parties for years to come.

Watch party ideas for tomorrow’s Royal Wedding (!!!)

Posted on by Tom

The time has finally come to gather together to watch the British Prince Harry marry the American girl of our dreams, Meghan Markle. We. Can’t. Wait.

Leading up to the big day tomorrow, much news coverage has been focused on whether Meghan’s dad would be able to make the ceremony, and unfortunately due to recent heart surgery, he will not. Instead, we find out today that Meghan will be walked down the aisle by none other than Harry’s dad, Prince Charles:

The other topics of news surrounding the wedding have been about The Dress and of course also the food. We’re all waiting with bated breath to see what Meghan will wear, BUT we do already have some advance notice on what kind of food will be served – which is awesome news for all those watch parties. Tomorrow’s wedding festivities will start quite early for Americans, beginning at 1am in Hawaii, 4am on the west coast, and 7am on the east. So to start the day off right, we suggest having some relevant refreshments on hand.

First, let’s take a look at the Royal Wedding cake. We know already that Harry and Meghan have chosen a nontraditional but seasonal flavor – lemon and elderflower. Here’s the newest sneak-peek:

To copy these flavors, head to Trader Joe’s to pick up some just-released Lemon Elderflower Soda.

According to the official web site of the British Royal Family, “The menu which will be served on Prince Harry and Ms. Markle’s wedding day, has been led by the freshest produce available.” At their standing-only reception, guests will be served both canapés and small meals in bowls – a decision apparently made based on the attendance of Harry’s army pals who are hearty eaters. For something similar, simple and fresh at home, try a canapé of asparagus and cheese on toast squares.

Or, for something even simpler, pick up some frozen petite quiche from your grocery store. We won’t judge.

Happy Royal Wedding Viewing Party Eve, y’all – now let’s watch an American become a real-life princess!

GQ hilariously spoofed the Vanity Fair photoshop fail

Posted on by Tom

GQ released the cover for its comedy issue today and we’re laughing already. Note the multiple appendages:

The cover image, featuring Issa Rae, Sarah Silverman, and Kate McKinnon, is a spot-on spoof of the Vanity Fair images that made headlines in January for their Photoshop fails. Here’s the piece of the VF cover image (shot by the legendary Annie Liebovitz) where Reese Witherspoon appears to have three legs:

And here’s another VF image where Oprah seems to have three hands:

Vanity Fair is taking this public dig in stride though, offering a pair of puns with their congratulations:

“Solo: A Star Wars Story” stars hit the Cannes red carpet in style

Posted on by Tom

The stars of “Solo: A Star Wars Story” showed up in peak red carpet style at the Cannes premiere of the film.

Thandie Newton’s dress was a custom Vivienne Westwood dress with fabric picturing all the black male Star Wars characters.

Jennifer Connelly, whose husband Paul Bettany appears in “Solo,” did her best Storm Trooper impression.

Han Solo actor Alden Ehrenreich posed with Donald Glover, whose portrayal of Lando Calrissian has earned rumors of a Lando-centric movie.

“Solo” director Ron Howard struck a thumbs-up next to Chewbacca.

“Solo: A Star Wars Story” will be in theaters May 25.

Famous doughnut shop gets its first East Coast location

Posted on by Tom

Despite only having a handful of locations, Voodoo Doughnut has been highly visible since its opening in 2003, appearing in Travel Channel shows like “Man v. Food” and Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations.” But since the company won’t deliver their doughnuts, you have to actually visit a Voodoo Doughnut shop to sample the sweets. That will be a whole lot easier for East Coasters now that the company opened its first East Coast location at Universal Citywalk Orlando.
