Kim Kardashian’s Winter Bikini Photo Proves Hotness Has No Season

There is perhaps no one on this earth that loves posting bikini pics more than Kim Kardashian. And honestly, I’m not mad about it. Seeing Kim Kardashian’s bikini photos can sometimes be a bitter reminder that I’m stuck in NYC in the dead of winter, but hey, at least someone’s enjoying themselves!

Whether she’s rocking a trendsetting monokini or a classic stringy two-piece that fits her like a glove, Kardashian’s beach and poolside attire is always on point. Unlike some stars that opt to layer up on beachy accessories like oversized hats, jewelry and sunnies, Kim usually keeps it simple—which is why her warm-weather looks can often be easily copied. You might not want to drop a grand on a bikini like she will, but finding a similar style at a lower price is often manageable.

Kardashian got famous way back when for her body, and since then, she’s proved to us that she’s so much more than a good figure. Our girl is a wonderful mother, a lawyer-to-be, a bona fide fashion icon and a budding comedy genius (Yes, I’m talking about her big moment on SNL from 2021)!

That said, every once in a while she still likes to remind us how hot she is, courtesy of a spontaneous bikini photo posted to the ‘Gram! Below, her latest swimsuit snap—a chocolatey brown string number—and a look back at some of her best from years past.

“Sweet sweet fantasy baby,” Kardashian captioned the photo, which showcased not only her skimpy brown string bikini, but let her fans know two more intimate details about her life. First, that she reads Vanity Fair. Second, that she doesn’t own AirPods.

In a post from November 2021, Kardashian poses in a black bandeau-style bikini and a long side braid. She appears to be in a hot tub, which (according to the caption) is her happy place.

I love Kim in color, so the vibrant purple of this micro-kini she rocked in Palm Springs in July 2021 makes it one of my all-time favorites.

We know our girl loves neutrals, but honestly, I’m calling her bluff from back in June 2021. There’s no way this low-cut top is holding in her chest for more than a photo op! A swim sesh in the pool with her kids? Not in this number.

Let it be known that on this day in May 2021, Kardashian made rash guards look hot.

Kanye & Julia Fox Ended Their Date at His Hotel as Things Are ‘Escalating’ Between Kim & Pete

Heating up! Kanye West and Julia Fox‘s date night in New York City reportedly ended at the rapper’s hotel after the pair spent all evening out on the town together.

Nearly a year after Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye in February 2021, the “Runaway” rapper appears to be moving on with the Uncut Gems actress. News of their relationship first broke on January 3, 2022; the same day Kim was seen jetting off to the Bahamas with her boyfriend Pete Davidson, according to photos obtained by The Daily Mail. Their trip came just days after a source told Us Weekly that Kim and Pete’s relationship has “escalated quickly.” Kanye—who “absolutely despites Kim dating Pete,” per the source—now seems to be focusing on pursuing a new romance of his own with Julia.

After being spotted on a string of dates in Miami, Kanye and Julia took their romance to the Big Apple, where they attended a performance of Jeremy Harris’ Slave Play on Broadway before heading to dinner at Carbone in Greenwich Village on January 5, 2022. Following their date night, sources told Page Six that Julia stayed at Kanye’s hotel until at least past midnight—though she may have she spent the entire night with the rapper, as she was later spotted the following morning in the hotel lobby.

According to a separate source who spoke to People, Kanye was “very happy” to be joined by Julia for their Broadway date night. “He was excited she was there, and they were fully going out after,” the insider noted. “She was very supportive and hung out and seemed very happy to be with him.”

Kanye and Julia first sparked dating rumors on January 1, 2022, after they were photographed at the Miami, Florida branch of Carbone. The pair were spotted enjoying a romantic dinner at the time, according to photographs published by TMZ. While sources told the site that Kanye and Julia weren’t seeing each other seriously, Page Six later confirmed that the pair are an item. “Julia and Ye are dating,” a source told the site on January 3, 2022. “They both just got out of their former relationships, and they’ve helped each other recover immensely.” The insider continued, “They’re kind of kindred spirits, and it’s cool to watch.”

After their first date, Kanye and Julia were spotted out a second time at Makoto Bal Harbour in Miami, according to Page Six. A source told the site that Kanye “kept his hoodie on the entire time” while Julia wore a leather trench coat. “The hostesses were blown away that he just walked in,” the insider noted. Another source also hinted that couple could soon become Instagram official.

Meanwhile, when asked about rumors she and Kanye were dating, Julia responded didn’t confirm nor deny the speculation. “I don’t know,” she said coyly when the paparazzi asked the question, according to Elle.

This Cleanser Alternative Has 6,000 Perfect Ratings on Amazon—’Never Has it Been So Easy to Remove Makeup’

We don’t know about you, but removing makeup seems to be the constant struggle. You’re either scrubbing your face with piles of wipes, lathering yourself in an oily cleansing balm that inevitably gets everywhere or using cotton pads out the wazoo. None of these methods are the most convenient or hassle-free for removing makeup. Luckily, we found a product that can easily take off all of your makeup without the mess or waste, and all you need to do is add water. 

The MakeUp Eraser is a towel designed to clear your face of even the most sticky makeup. That includes waterproof mascara, longwear foundation and highly pigmented lipstick—there’s nothing this towel can’t tackle.

“I was skeptical at first, but this really removes everything so easily. Even my most stubborn waterproof mascara. It really takes everything off,” wrote one shopper. 

It melts away your makeup with the addition of water (no cleanser necessary), but it’s also a more earth-friendly alternative to wipes and cotton pads. Simply throw your towel into the wash one or twice a week—rinse, repeat.

Below, learn more about how this towel does its job so well and will soon replace your traditional makeup remover. For $20, this reusable towel is made to last and save the planet (and your wallet).

You might be thinking that using a towel seems just as rough and abrasive as other more conventional makeup removers. In the words of Dwight Schrute, false. The towel has two sides: one for exfoliating and one for wiping away your makeup. The polyester material has tiny hair-like fibers that gently get rid of makeup, oil and impurities when met with water. And they’re gentle enough for sensitive skin, too.

Did we mention the MakeUp Eraser will last you anywhere from three to five years? A makeup remover that only costs $20, but keeps your face clean for many, many years—now, that is a smart investment. 

We’re not the only ones who think the MakeUp Eraser is a genius invention. It has earned a 4.6-star rating, with over 6,000 perfect reviews on Amazon. 

“I love this product! I recommend it to everyone I know,” wrote one shopper. “Never has it been so easy to remove makeup. Not only does it really do the job well, but it’s also sustainable. I am super happy with this purchase that I bought several more! I will never go back to makeup wipes.”

“These are so soft and luxurious! They take ALL my makeup off without a cleanser. I keep a stash of these to give as gifts and everyone LOVES them!” wrote another shopper.

Removing your makeup can be a burden, especially when you’ve just finished a full day of work. It doesn’t have to be, though, thanks to the Makeup Eraser, which you can pick up on Amazon for just $20.

6 Funky Decor Trends That Will Be Everywhere in 2022

After spending way more time at home over the last two years than ever expected, it’s safe to say the way a space is decorated has taken on greater meaning in our lives. Living in NYC and working from a tiny apartment means that my bedroom needs to play a large role in my day-to-day beyond just being a place to sleep. I want my room to feel like a larger reflection of my personality as I work, relax and binge watch Arrested Development! I am inspired by little changes in decor every day—and if you’re seeking inspo, I guarantee that these on-the-rise home decor trends for 2022 will leave you and your space feeling refreshed. 

Sometimes the easiest way to revamp a room is to switch which corners the couch and chair live in. If that doesn’t do the trick, a few clicks through the Urban Outfitters home section might! Mid-century modern furniture was all the rage in 2021 and sleek, retro-inspired pieces will continue to dominate the selection at retailers like Target and CB2.

However, unique and eclectic styles are slowly taking center stage, which means non-traditional shapes and colors are having a moment! If you want to lean in, a few funky accessories can revamp your mid-century style (I’m sure we all bought a fuzzy boucle chair, didn’t we?) without taking away from the room’s overall flow.

From knotted pillows to frameless asymmetrical mirrors, here are the funkiest 2022 decor trends to revamp your space.

Knotical Accents 

Every year, a definitive shape seems to take over Instagram. We all remember when moons were trendy, right? This year, I’m predicting that your feed will be full of people tying the knot. Don’t worry, you won’t be scrolling through 100 wedding photos, but you will be seeing a lot of knot decor accents.

This trend started small with coffee table baubles and is working its way up to pillows and floor ottomans. It’s a fun structure to make your space look more interesting without making a big commitment to a wild shape.

Knot Pillow 

This pillow may not be comfortable to lay on, but it sure will look chic sitting on your couch (in all 11 colors).

Surrealist Candles

Move over Lex Pott candles, a new shape is stepping in. Surrealist candles are a great way to kick your decor game up a notch, especially if you’re sick of the ~unique~ bubble and twist candles that were all over TikTok last year.

Surrealist candles in unexpected shapes are honestly too beautiful to burn, which makes them a longer-lasting decor option than the newest Diptyque scent. Funky candles have evolved from curved bases to legs, busts hands and even faces.

Baby Won’t You Light My Legs? Decorative Wax Candle

Recliner Chairs 

I love when something comfortable and practical comes back in style, so I am happy to report that recliners are in. Farewell, Restoration Hardware cloud couch! Sit back, relax and kick your feet up on a comfy recliner with a matching ottoman instead.

Recliners have started to gain popularity again with the resurgence of mid-century modern furniture. In my eyes, they are a great investment because the ottoman gives two-for-one quantity and quality.

Eclectic Dishware

The all-white apartment décor era is slowly coming to an end. The modern and neutral aesthetic is still classic and beautiful but you’ll see more personal decor elements start to take focus in 2022. A fun place to start is by adding eclectic, vintage-inspired dishes to display on your tablescape.

4 Boot Trends For 2022 That Are Soon To Be All Over Instagram

2022 is my main character year. There, I said it! I’m dressing up every damn day—or at the very least, putting on a great pair of boots. We all know footwear can elevate even the simplest of outfits, which is why I have my eye on the top 2022 boot trends. And luckily, there’s quite a bit to choose from!

First up on the list is a trend for my girls who love a heeled moment but haven’t worn actual heels since pre-pandemic. Skinny-heeled boots are very much in, but it’s up to you whether you choose to go with sky-high stilettos or sweet, skinny kitten heels. My personal faves? A slight stiletto with a flared-out base.

Next up is a somewhat more relaxed look dubbed The Slouch. Slouchy boots were cool waaay back when, but they’re definitely getting the revival they deserve this season. My advice? Stay away from suede to avoid looking dated and opt instead for shiny patents or printed leather for a fresh feel. That said, a chocolate brown suede slouch still gives me butterflies. Call me old-fashioned!

Next up is a personal favorite for running around, the combat boot. Remember when we all had that same pair back in high school? Now, they’re definitely a bit chunkier and cooler, perfect for pairing with ultra-femme looks for a satisfying contrast.

Last but not least, this one’s a little obvious: Knee-high boots are officially replacing your over-the-knee favorites. Sorry in advance if you ~invested~ in that one Stuart Weitzman pair! You can totally still wear them, but consider adding at least one knee-high pair in a fun shade into your wardrobe, stat.

Below, read on for a bit more info on each trend, plus a few of our faves to start shopping now.

The Combat

Lug soles gave last year’s boots an edgy feel, but for 2022, we’re returning to the classic combat. With a fresh take, of course! This time around, pair yours with femme ‘fits for contrast instead of tucking them into skinny jeans like you did back in high school. Cringe.

1460 Pascal Virginia Leather Boot

Irresistible Bootie

The Skinny

Stiletto heels are in, so say goodbye to your crusty block heels. I know it’s hard to move on, but we must! That said, if you aren’t into sky-high skinny heels, a shorter stiletto looks equally chic for everyday wear. Bonus points if you go for a flared-out skinny heel for a bit of added interest!

Francis Boot

Behold, the perfect black boot. From the pointy toe to the stiletto heel to the unique asymmetrical shaft, the Francis Boot takes a monochrome black look and adds a bit of interest.

The Knee-High

Remember over-the-knee boots? LOL, me either. Knee-highs are everything at the moment, so don’t be afraid to throw some lotion on those kneecaps before revealing them to the world! Since the silhouette of a classic knee-high boot is fairly understated, feel free to go bold with color, texture or any other statement-making details. Or, you know, channel your inner cowboy.

Felinda Boot

Shoelery (shoe jewelry) gives a plain white boot like the Felinda some added oomph. These babies certainly make a case for silver accents to have their long-awaited comeback.
