  • LAUREN SCHWAB AND MARISSA VOSPER OF NEGATIVE UNDERWEAR

    We’ll let Negative Underwear creators Lauren Schwab and Marissa Vosper give you the 411 on the barely there lingerie collection, but I will say, at their launch party I took an underwear selfie. It wasn’t a creepy, take-off-your-knickers-now way. It was a flaunt-what-your-mama-gave-you-and-be-proud way. And any brand that can send body positive messages without producing…

  • HAPPY B-EARTH-DAY, MOTHER NATURE!

    Who’s doing their part to conserve Mother Nature? Some work diligently every year to raise awareness to sustainable living, while others promote it and give back to organizations that devote time to creating sustainable living. Either way, both parties work hard to ensure she is here for generations to come. c/o The Maidstone in East…

  • Better Night’s Rest with Parachute Founder Ariel Kaye

    There’s something wrong with the way we sleep. We just don’t sleep or create a sleeping environment like we should. As I type this it’s 2:17AM and I’m sitting in bed surrounded by old magazines I swear I’ll read soon, look books from press days, a water bottle and an empty popsicle wrapper all neatly…

  • HIP AND HEALTHY BOLLYWOOD STYLE

    My first encounter with Bollywood dancing was several years ago when I watched Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. From that moment on, I felt like breaking into random song and dance whenever the urge arose. (No joke. Many times I’ll respond to people in song.) Now, thanks to Priya Pandya and Kajal Desai, we can actually…

  • SEXY SATURDAY | FELINA AND JEZEBEL

    Here at StyleCartel, we’re always looking to feature new brands by trying them out first hand. This way, we give our honest opinions on what the product is really like. And don’t think everything we receive gets a feature or check plus in our book, because it doesn’t.  And many times, like this one, we…

  • INTERVIEW EXCLUSIVE | KRISTEN KISH

    Meet Chef Kristen Kish. Former model turned chef turned second female Top Chef winner (first to win after winning “Last Chance Kitchen”.) I’ve never seen Top Chef, but like the rest of America, I’m sure I would have been rooting her on until the very end. Now the current smile for Rembrandt’s WHITENING FOR THE…

  • DESIGNER TO WATCH: HUB OF AFRICA, ADDIS EDITION – RUALD RHEEDER

    Our designer today, RUALD RHEEDER, I love. I can say that without a fear of being blacklisted as he was the only menswear to showcase this season at Hub of Africa, Addis. His designs are easy to understand, translatable to markets, and very much so his own. A South African native, he’s won “Best New Designer” and “The most…
