Baby Got Back

Hate to see you go, but love to watch you leave.

Baby Got Back
For Love and Lemons

A moment that sticks in my mind is a conversation that I had years ago with my Aunt Robin. I remember her explaining how beautiful she thought backs were. 'Backs?' I thought. It seemed so random!

But picture this: Breakfast at Tiffany’s begins, Audrey Hepburn strolling through New York City, coffee and croissant in hand. After lusting over a Tiffany’s showcase, she saunters off. Only this time, the 5 strands of pearls draped from the front of her neck and the Givenchy LBD that scoops across her shoulder blades showing juuuust enough skin before connecting in the middle of her back is replaced with a straight cut garment that leaves so much to the imagination that it doesn’t even exist. Not quite as sophisticated, huh?

Although a little more timeless than trendy, embracing the beauty of your back is something that goes so far under-the-radar that it’s hard to even capture its brilliance. Focusing on your back creates the sweet spot where sexy meets elegance.

Check out a few of these pieces from our favorite designers!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
