The post 3 Outfits That Look Chic in the Rain appeared first on Bob's Hide Out.
]]>There’s a reason that trench coats remain so popular. They look great, offer decent protection against the surprisingly cold wind at this time of year, and are perfect if you get caught in a rain shower. You may want to take an umbrella if really heavy rain is forecast, but if you’re stepping in and out of buildings a trench coat will keep the worst of the rain off.
Sandals go perfectly with airy summer dresses, but when the rain won’t stop you need something a little more sturdy on your feet. Why not try the classically cool look of heavy biker style boots with a light and pretty dress? Not only will your feet stay dry, you can enjoy channeling a little bit of punk as you go through your day.
A lightweight cape may be just what you’re looking for when it comes to styling yourself for spring rain. It will look super chic and cool, but won’t make you overheat in the warmer spring weather. Capes will protect you from a light rain shower, and if the sun comes out you only need to take it off to reveal your spring-ready outfit beneath.

]]>“Florals for spring” may not be groundbreaking, as we learned from “The Devil Wears Prada”, but they were certainly a great fit for this theme. Zendaya, who co-chaired this year’s ceremony, embraced this trend with open arms, and she was joined by the likes of Demi Moore and Sydney Sweeney.
Cardi B put a subtle twist on the floral trend, wearing a dress reminiscent of a black rose. Janelle Monáe went down the sustainable route and wore a Vera Wang dress featuring shaped flowers made from recycled plastic bottles.
Some of the stars attending this year’s Met Gala took us deep into the woods with their red carpet looks. Lana Del Rey’s look divided the fashion fans, but her veiled Alexander McQueen gown with hand-embroidered thorny vines did a great job evoking the theme, along with Taylor Russell’s Loewe spectacular wood-painted bodice.
Some of the stars in attendance didn’t focus on channeling the garden vibes and decided to play with the concept of time itself. Tyla paired her sandy Balmain gown with an hourglass, while Mindy Kaling’s Gaurav Gupta dress did a great job evoking the sands of time.

]]>These coats are perfect for when you want a style that is bold and high-fashion but isn’t too heavy and warm. You can find these coats in very light, thin material meaning they are ideal for throwing on in the evening for an effective but casual layer.
This classic item never goes out of fashion, and for good reason. They are as practical as they are cool, and with so many different styles to choose from, there will be a jacket to suit everyone’s tastes.
This style of jacket is so perfect to bring on a day when the temperature will be changing a lot. They are super light and can be rolled up so small and stuffed into a bag. Despite their small volume, they are surprisingly effective when it’s a bit chilly, and as the name suggests they are great at protecting from the wind.

]]>The post How the Hermes Birkin Bag Became so Popular appeared first on Bob's Hide Out.
]]>The story of the Birkin bag begins in 1984 on a flight from Paris to London. Jean-Louis Dumas, the then CEO of Hermès, found himself seated next to the British actress and singer Jane Birkin. Birkin, known for her chic style, was attempting to fit her straw tote into the overhead compartment when the contents spilled onto the floor. This incident sparked a conversation between her and Dumas.
Inspired by this chance encounter, Dumas set out to create a leather bag that was both stylish and functional. He sketched the initial design on an airplane sickness bag, and thus, the Birkin bag was born.
Part of the Birkin’s allure lies in its exclusivity. Hermès does not use mass production techniques, and the scarcity of Birkin bags is a deliberate strategy by the company. They are notoriously difficult to purchase. And, of course, the Birkin bag’s popularity is also fueled by its frequent appearances in the arms of celebrities and fashion influencers. So there’s a little insight into one fashion mystery.

]]>For the first time, luxury fashion house Prada ventured into the realm of basketball by dressing a player for the WNBA Draft, selecting none other than Caitlin Clark. Clark dazzled in a Prada ensemble that featured a rhinestone mesh crop top and a sleek mini skirt.
While Clark’s outfit tallied up to over $27,000, including Prada accessories and John Hardy jewelry, her beauty look was surprisingly accessible. Styled by celebrity makeup artist Raisa Flowers, Clark’s makeup featured products from Glossier, known for its minimalist, budget-friendly approach.
The choice of outfit and makeup is a telling sign of the evolving fashion landscape in women’s sports. No longer confined to traditional athletic endorsements, top female athletes like Clark are now engaging with luxury fashion brands and beauty products, bringing a new level of style and visibility to their public appearances.

]]>The post Read This Before You Get a Cartilage Ear Piercing appeared first on Bob's Hide Out.
]]>First, it’s important to note that with proper aftercare, your cartilage piercing will almost certainly turn out fine. However, for some people the body can reject cartilage piercings, and one of the most common ways is for a lump or bump to form around your new piercing. Sometimes, this can go down or disappear after a few days, but unfortunately for some people it will stick around until after the piercing is removed (and sometimes even after that). It’s good to be aware that every cartilage piercing you get carries a small risk of this, so make sure you listen and follow your piercer’s aftercare advice carefully.
Everyone’s pain thresholds are different, so before you get your ear pierced it can be difficult to predict how bad it will be. However, almost everyone finds a cartilage piercing more painful than a lobe piercing. This is partly because cartilage piercings are performed using a needle and so can take a bit longer to complete, whereas many lobe piercings are done using an ear piercing “gun”.
Depending on where you go, some piercers will tell you that a lobe piercing can be changed after six weeks. It’s very unlikely that your cartilage piercing will be ready to be changed in so short a time – most piercers recommend leaving it for at least twelve weeks, to allow the piercing to fully heal. Make sure you choose jewelry that you like when you get pierced, as it’s going to be in your ear for some time!

]]>Many stars at this year’s Oscars gave us mermaid vibes with their icy blue and seafoam green gowns. Lupita Nyong’o embraced this trend with her sequined Armani Privé dress with feathered details.
Florence Pugh also looked like a real-life mermaid in her silver Del Core gown, which featured a sculpted bodice with delicate beading, meant to mimic water droplets.
Zendaya was shining brighter than ever at this year’s Oscars, and we’re still in awe of her dazzling pink and silver Armani Privé column gown, adorned with palm tree print.
Archival looks were having a moment this award season, and Carey Mulligan saved the best for last. Her black and white Balenciaga gown has been around for decades, and Cristóbal Balenciaga designed it all the way back in 1951.
Anya Taylor-Joy gave us one of the ceremony’s most dazzling looks in her custom silver Dior number, which is a clear tribute to the brand’s iconic Junon gown.

Red was definitely the most popular color at this year’s SAG Awards. We’ve seen dresses in many different shades, from hot reds worn by Emily Blunt and Reese Witherspoon to darker, wine-like hues embraced by Ariana Greenblatt and Halle Bailey.

Emma Stone, Elizabeth Debicki, and Jennifer Aniston delivered show-stopping icy metallic looks at the SAG Awards, while Carey Mulligan opted for a more delicate, golden shade.
