No Filter: Yes, Samira, “All the Way Tired” Seems like the Right Vibe for a New Parent

Personally I am scared of how gorgeous Hayley Kiyoko looks!! Also, I am thrilled to report that the soccer MILFs continue to be MILFs and Quinn Wilson, ever the innovator, using her dog camera to make selfie art.

So You Want to Wear Shorts This Summer

We covered the return of the 90s and the 70s in our last edition, and you can expect to see that trend continuing here! The 90s influence is especially strong in the athletic short space — think Princess Diana and her iconic bike shorts. The 70s vibes are coming in hot with prints and patterns, which I personally am digging!
