Yes or No: Do You Bring Your Boyfriend Shopping? (Maria Menounos Says Yes!)

Mar 21, 2013 @ 6:10 pm

Does your other half come with you shopping? It’s a question we always wonder—especially when we see men awkwardly lingering outside the dressing rooms—and whenever we ask readers, the answers are mostly split. Some say leave ‘em home, while others say bring ‘em with you! Extra‘s Maria Menounos—the new ambassador for Marshall’s (the retailer’s new spring stock is in stores now)—says yes, he should tag along. “My boyfriend [Keven Undergaro] is the best because he will definitely tell me the truth,” she told InStyle.com. “And I like that he’s going to give me a guy’s perspective. Shopping with girls is tougher because we’re looking at it with one lens and that’s just ‘What Do We Think Is Cool.’ But really, women should be dressing for men more than they should be dressing for women.” But that’s just one opinion. What’s yours? Tell us by voting in the poll below!

Get the Look: Maria Menounos’s Metallic Manicure

Mar 8, 2013 @ 4:26 pm

Maria Menounos’s nails looked “extra” special yesterday at the announcement of her partnership with Marshall’s in New York City—she’s the retailer’s new Style Ambassador—and we got the inside scoop on her metallic manicure. Turns out, they were a spur-of-the-moment decision. “I realized I had no time to get my nails done, so I went into CVS and I bought Essie’s nail stickers,” the host told us of her funky fingers, which we snapped for InStyle’s Instagram. “I did them on the plane in five minutes. I was so blown away about how cool they looked that I called all the flight attendants to my seat and showed them how to do it! It’s so easy.” Menounos chose Essie’s Sleek Stickers in Sneek-E, one of 12 designs available from the nail brand. Get yours for $10.25 at zappos.com.

Sep 17, 2012 @ 4:31 pm

Created by designer Laurel Berman, Black Halo has long been a ready-to-wear celebrity favorite on the red carpet—from Olivia Wilde to Maria Menounos to, most recently, Louise Roe at the MTV Video Music Awards. Now Berman is branching out into high-end evening gowns with her line Black Halo EVE, which just hit Neiman Marcus stores and ranges in price from $650 to $690. “The EVE aesthetic is different in that it is an evening collection that is clean and tailored, without the embellishment,” Berman exclusively told InStyle.com. “As a woman, I look for a gown that has minimal details, is well-cut, and tailored to fit. My desire is for women to feel so amazing in a Black Halo EVE gown that their confidence shines.” Amen! Visit blackhalo.com for additional information and click through the gallery to see more of the beautiful designs.
