]]>And yet, Goldstein is always up for a challenge, when it comes to her designs. “I love designs that challenge me and really require a lot of tiny details and a lot of patience,” she shared in an interview with Elle. The end result fits nicely inside the category of wearable art.
This also might explain why Goldstein has caught not only the attention of Instagram it-girls but of A-list celebrities like Bella Hadid, Zoë Kravitz, and Billie Eilish—all of which have sported her designs.
“I focus on designs that are more contemporary and they have intricate detail and dimension, but don’t necessarily overwhelm your nails,” says Goldstein. “It’s all about the placement of the nail art. It’s really minimal. At the same time, some of my nail designs are really out there: I’ll do chains on the nails—but with a sheer base.”
And while most of her designs are minimal, Goldstein sometimes explores more dramatic options (introducing elements like rhinestones and liquid gold). In order to achieve her more out-there designs, she sometimes takes to the local craft store.
“I’m always going into craft stores and finding like random things around my house to put on my nails,” she relayed. “One time I had this Chanel ribbon, and it was too beautiful to throw away so I just cut out each letter and then place them on my nails. I don’t know what the inspiration, I just see that object and I’m like, oh I could do something with this. That’s it!”
Take a look at some of her designs in the gallery below!

]]>One brand we’ve got our eyes on is Staud. With some 480k followers on Instagram, the LA-based brand is a new favorite for it-girls worldwide. Launched in 2015 by Sarah Staudinger and George Augusto, the brand sports a rich, colorful collection of summer dresses and trendy handbags.
“We think our bags are unique and fun but at the same time have a really timeless essence to them,” brand owner Sarah Staudinger told Harper’s BAZAAR. “I think our customers see their style versatility and are excited about creating outfits with them.”
Indeed, the brand’s mission is to create clothes and accessories that are both trendy and accessible. Acknowledging that how we get dressed can have a huge impact on how we feel, the brand aims to empower women through the use of well-made pieces that are meant to flatter the female form. Sustainability is also crucial, as designers now further examine the purpose of fashion.
“We wanted to create collections that were not overly trend-driven that had a timeless quality and remain affordable,” says Staudinger. Some recent favorites of ours include the Giorgiana Dress, the Mini Enzo in Fresh White and their effortless rib knits.

]]>Grooming and beauty might seem trivial at a time of global crisis but you don’t have to be a health expert to understand that small changes in your wardrobe and beauty routine can have a huge impact on your mood.
These fashion trends might help lift up your spirits, while also adding a playful twist to your zoom meetings. Take note!
Rainbow-Colored Buzzcuts
Getting a haircut is a great way to feel refreshed and well-groomed. After all, desperate times call for desperate measures. Now is the time to experiment with bold choices and even bolder colors.
Instagram inspiration: Janine (Cortez) Ker
Hairstylist Janine Ker has gained a massive following online thanks to her trendy buzzcuts. Her hair models and clients are seen sporting anything from leopard spots to floral patterns and tie-dye swirls, all carefully painted on their heads. Having grown up in the 80s, Ker clearly takes her inspiration from the era’s bold fashion and color schemes.
Sea Glass Nails
Jelly nails have been trending ever since the ’90s. Made by using variously tinted or translucent gel polish colors, the end result looks like a barbie dream. Recent years have seen nail artists add a more contemporary twist to the nostalgic trend.
A recent interpretation has been branded as “sea glass nails”, with the difference lying in the finish. While jelly nails are fairly shiny (and plastic-looking), sea glass nails are typically topped off with a coat of clear matte polish.
Instagram inspiration: Jessica Washick
Nail artist and sneaker designer, Jessica Washick, has an eye for color. “Colors play a huge role too because they evoke emotion,” she explained once in an interview with HYPEBAE. She also added that “a good color story can take you places.” In the case of Washick’s sea glass nails, we’re headed for ’90s territory! Buckle up!
Ruffled Masks
Like it or not, masks are here to stay. So why limit yourself when it comes to your mask? This new addition to your wardrobe can add a punchy statement to your uninspiring tracksuits.
Instagram inspiration: Tia Adeola
The young fashion designer Tia Adeola was first noticed by Teen Vogue. “She’s ready to be one of the greatest female couture designers in the world,” stated the fashion magazine a few years ago, and they weren’t wrong. Known for her trendy looks, Adeola introduced us this past year with the ruffle mask.
The reusable, washable, and adjustable masks come with velcro fastenings and are available in a range of colors, including bubble gum pink and bright orange. According to Adeola, 75% of the profits made will be donated towards the battle against COVID-19.
