Launch You’ll Love: Warby Parker’s Man of Steel Frames

May 21, 2013 @ 4:10 pm

If you’ve ever wanted glasses with change-the-world superpowers, Warby Parker just created them. The one-for-one eyewear company, which donates a pair of glasses for each pair sold, teamed up with Warner Bros. Pictures to create a limited-edition capsule collection inspired by Superman’s alter-ego Clark Kent, who will hit the big screen on June 14 in Man of Steel. The collection includes two frames each for men and women—“one bold and one bookish,” Warby Parker co-founder Neil Blumenthal describes—and each “perfect for all of your civilian responsibilities.” In addition to donating a pair of frames to someone in need with every $95 pair sold, $15 of each purchase will be donated to 826NYC, a non-profit dedicated to helping students’ writing skills. Now that’s a powerful purchase! Visit warbyparker.com/man-of-steel to shop the collection now.

What was going on with Mad Men?! Drugs, burglars, funerals—it was a memorable episode to say the least, even if we’re not quite sure what to make of it. One thing we do know: Once again, the costumes swept us right into the world of the late ’60s, thanks to the work of costume designer Janie Bryant. “The show is so great because it’s not about one thing,” Bryant told InStyle.com. “It’s so multi-layered, and that’s how we are in life. There are so many characters.” Click to get the inside scoop on the costumes from this week’s episode.

Gabi Gregg of GabiFresh.com is the go-to source for full-figure fashion inspiration—we love her tips so much she writes a “Full Figure Flair” page every month for InStyle—and now she took her wisdom to a whole new level. This month, she teamed up with Swimsuits For All to design and launch a five-piece swimwear line for sizes 10 through 24. “I really just wanted a collection that was young, bright and fresh,” she told InStyle.com. “I love neon colors on the beach, and they were so hard to find in my size!” As a result, her pieces are pumped with lime green, hot pink, and pretty prints. “Nothing beats bright colors on the beach,” she said. “I hope this line helps bridge the gap for younger women who have been looking for on-trend pieces that make them feel stylish and beautiful.” Click through the gallery to get a closer look, and shop the items for $49 to $99 on swimsuitsforall.com.

Billboard Music Awards 2013 Fashion Photos: What Everyone Wore!

The stars played peekaboo at the 2013 Billboard Music Awards last night! Celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Emmy Rossum, and Taylor Swift all chose to wear designs that incorporated sheer elements (and all by the same designer, Zuhair Murad). Lopez’s gold skirt was see-through, Rossum’s side panels were covered in polka dots only, and Swift’s royal blue mini featured a crackle pattern that showed off her shoulders. But no one tried to do sheer quite like Once Upon a Time star Jennifer Morrison, who walked the carpet in a completely transparent gown (save for her skivvies) by Kristian Aadnevik.

Video of the Day: “Live It Up” by Jennifer Lopez

May 20, 2013 @ 10:15 am

Monday, again?! Kick your week off with a new jam by Jennifer Lopez. The star just released the music video for her new single “Live It Up”—coinciding with her performance of the tune at the Billboard Music Awards last night—and it’s pure J.Lo. All her classic elements are there: Belly-baring outfits (including her swing look by Wes Gordon), baller shades (by Swarovski), wild makeup choices (orange lipstick, anyone?), and dance moves at the going rate of 125 BPM. Her explanation: “I’m a dancer, so dance and choreography have always been a way to express myself,” she once told InStyle. “Anything you do with music or a song, or even playing a character, is a way of expressing yourself. Dance just happens to be a very sensual way of doing it.” Watch the video above to see Lopez’s latest heart-thumping song. Because it’s Monday and you should LIVE IT UP.
