Despite my fierce Southern pride and the ungodly number of things with the Texas logo taking up space in my closet, I’m ashamed to call myself a Texan right now. I feel deeply embarrassed, hurt, and downright furious that Governor Greg Abbott issued an executive order to lift the mask mandate and increase the capacity

We teamed up with Under Armour to help women everywhere tap into their unbeatable confidence. Setting out to achieve anything in life (fitness milestones or achievements especially) isn’t a fingers-crossed situation. Other than the lottery, there’s no wishing and hoping on the path to success — there’s just doing and planning. And while hiccups and
Ironically enough, in Simone Rocha’s early days showing at London Fashion Week, the most truly subversive thing you could do was go against the punk-influenced grain of the time.

In the chaos of quarantine, slipping into the white-tiled world of the multimillion-dollar listings on Netflix’s Selling Sunset can only be described as a twisted kind of self-soothing. A virtual dip into those cerulean-blue infinity pools can only cleanse the mind for so long, but wow, for those few glorious moments? The relief is immediate.

I’m sitting upstairs, trying to work, but loud guffaws keep emanating from downstairs. “I’m sorry,” I say to the person on the other end of the call. “It’s my son.” My Mother is giggling, and my 18-month-old son is emitting the loudest belly laughs you’ve ever heard. “A hat!” she says, in a singsong that
I first heard the siren call 26 days into quarantine. During a 3 a.m. insomnia-induced Instagram scroll, I fixated on Bella Hadid’s 2019 blonde transformation, DM-ing it to ELLE’s beauty and health director with the succinct “Should I?” Apparently, I wasn’t the only one desiring change while in our Groundhog Day–esque shelter-in-place: Rosalía, Emily Ratajkowski,

Former First Lady Michelle Obama gave People an in-depth interview about her life quarantining in this week’s issue—and how having her college-age daughters back in her house changed their relationship over the last year.

We love our Lululemon Align leggings, and honestly, we spend more time in them than we’d like to admit. They’re just so buttery soft and so comfortable.
