Speaker 1: Hey, fam Today, on the bright side, bubbleskirts are back,
Speaker 1: butter yellow is the new neutral, and boho chic is
Speaker 1: making a triumphant return. We are talking all things fashion
Speaker 1: and beauty with People Magazine Special Projects Director our friend
Speaker 1: Andrea Lavienthal, and she's here to help us step confidently
Speaker 1: into a new season and guide us toward the most
Speaker 1: incredible women own brands that deserve a prime spot in
Speaker 1: our wardrobes. It's Thursday, March sixth I'm Simone Voice, and
Speaker 1: this is the bright side from Hello Sunshine. All right, besties,
Speaker 1: I am sending warm, cozy, sunshiny vibes to any of
Speaker 1: you out there who are still dealing with that nasty
Speaker 1: winter weather.
Speaker 2: But here's the bright side.
Speaker 1: Pretty soon, it's going to be time to put away
Speaker 1: those cozy sweaters, tuck those boots in the attic, and
Speaker 1: whip out that summer wardrobe from the back of the closet.
Speaker 1: And as the seasons change, so do the beauty and
Speaker 1: fashion trends. So today we're going to give you a
Speaker 1: sneak peak at all the spring and summer trends with
Speaker 1: an expert that we love and adore. People's Special Projects
Speaker 1: Director Andrea Labenthal. So not only will she share with
Speaker 1: us what's hot this season, what the data are telling
Speaker 1: us about fashion trends, she'll also be able to help
Speaker 1: us support women owned businesses. But before we bring in Andrea,
Speaker 1: we are doing something a little different for today's show.
Speaker 1: Everyone's favorite showrunner and Emmy winning producer, Tim Ballizola is
Speaker 1: here filling in for Danielle today.
Speaker 2: Tim, Welcome back to the bright Side.
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks so much for the invitation.
Speaker 4: I will tell you I had the opportunity to talk
Speaker 4: to Andrea earlier this week, and I cannot wait for
Speaker 4: all of our listeners to get all the amazing information
Speaker 4: that she has to share with us on summer trends, beauty,
Speaker 4: fashion gadgets, the whole thing. As I was talking to Andrea,
Speaker 4: I was thinking just about style in general. How would
Speaker 4: you describe your personal style at large?
Speaker 1: It definitely changes on the age and stage that I'm
Speaker 1: in in my life right now. I would say it's
Speaker 1: very androgynous. It's very inspired by masculine silhouettes from like
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventies. I love a suit, I love a tie,
Speaker 1: I love a bomber jacket.
Speaker 2: That's where I'm at right now.
Speaker 3: That's so hot. I love that, Simone.
Speaker 4: I will say, I know our listeners can't see you
Speaker 4: every day, but every time I see you, you have
Speaker 4: such an incredible fit. I know a lot of people
Speaker 4: vollu you on social media. You always look so fly.
Speaker 4: I'm always very impressed with you.
Speaker 2: So that's so kind.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I mean it's sincerely.
Speaker 4: I also think that you have such an incredible way
Speaker 4: of feeling like you are part of what's going on
Speaker 4: but also making in your own and I think it
Speaker 4: takes a really unique sensibility to be able to pull
Speaker 4: that off really well. Because I will say I have
Speaker 4: a very classic style because I feel like anytime I
Speaker 4: go too far towards a trend, I look like an
Speaker 4: insane person.
Speaker 3: I look like a clown.
Speaker 4: So I have to like stay a little bit more classic,
Speaker 4: a little bit more in that like collegiate athletic moment.
Speaker 3: And that's a good fit for my body.
Speaker 1: Tim has the build of a model. He's being very
Speaker 1: humble right now. Tim can pull off anything, you know.
Speaker 1: Whenever I think of you and your personal style, I
Speaker 1: always think of Connie Chung and how she called you
Speaker 1: out for having a ratty ass collar on your expensive shirt,
Speaker 1: but she didn't care because the distressing was distressing to her.
Speaker 4: Simon, I cannot love you more for trolling me in
Speaker 4: this moment, because.
Speaker 3: I honestly, i'd tell you I was. I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: I put on something like.
Speaker 4: Really fun, like really trendy, kind of like cool and edgy.
Speaker 3: You know, we're on a podcast with Connie Chung.
Speaker 4: And she immediately thought that in some way I was
Speaker 4: almost disrespecting her for wearing something that looks so afraid.
Speaker 4: So I guess there's a time and place for everything,
Speaker 4: right exactly.
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's time to get to our guest today.
Speaker 1: Andrew Lavinhal is always on the pulse of it all,
Speaker 1: People's Special Projects director, and she's here to break it
Speaker 1: all down for us right now. So let's bring her in. Andrea,
Speaker 1: welcome back to the bright Side.
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me. I love having you here.
Speaker 1: Okay, Tim and I were just talking about our own
Speaker 1: personal style, and so before we give everyone the rundown
Speaker 1: of all the upcoming trends, how would you describe your
Speaker 1: personal style? I'm so glad you asked, because I did
Speaker 1: give this a lot of thought and I came up
Speaker 1: with like best dressed mom at book club. I love academic.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit academic, little preppy. No, she's not academic,
Speaker 1: but she lives in the suburbs.
Speaker 3: And okay, she carries a book in her.
Speaker 2: Purse, but she goes to book club.
Speaker 1: She's a good time because you guys know, book club
Speaker 1: is like hang and have some cocktails and talk about
Speaker 1: your life and your trauma's club. But you want to
Speaker 1: look cute because like you're with your girls, and that's
Speaker 1: who you look cute for. So because of what I
Speaker 1: do and my interest in fashion and all that stuff,
Speaker 1: I'm always like wearing something that someone in book club
Speaker 1: is like, should I be wearing that?
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 1: Generally speaking, would you say that you embraced trends wholeheartedly?
Speaker 1: Are you an early adopter of trends or are you
Speaker 1: more likely to try to maintain your own sense of
Speaker 1: style and authenticity through your clothing.
Speaker 2: I think I.
Speaker 1: Try and hold out as long as I can. Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm very proud to say I did not buy mesh
Speaker 1: flats last year because I did not stand by their longevity,
Speaker 1: both in construction and in like the trends itself. And
Speaker 1: now I'm being tormented because I'm seeing mesh flats online
Speaker 1: shopping and I'm like, no, guys, no, we weren't supposed
Speaker 1: to bring it back. It was a one season thing
Speaker 1: that I rejected. This was last summer, y'all. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: feeling like it, I've survived, but I wanted to.
Speaker 2: It's like Snapchat for me.
Speaker 1: I never got on and I wanted to be like, see,
Speaker 1: I was good and now I don't know. So sometimes
Speaker 1: I miss the trends because I think it's going to
Speaker 1: be very short lived, it's not worth investing in. And
Speaker 1: sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong.
Speaker 3: Totally.
Speaker 4: Well, speaking of trends, you know, there's a lot of
Speaker 4: lists out there predicting what's going to be in for
Speaker 4: spring and summer, and you know, what I'm seeing is
Speaker 4: that there's a lot of versions of boho chic.
Speaker 3: Is going to be in. Is that what you're seeing
Speaker 3: as well?
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I was going to say the list we come
Speaker 1: up with here is the correct one. Okay, Yeah, are
Speaker 1: a lot of lists, but boho chic is like everywhere.
Speaker 1: And it's funny because like all things in fashion, it's cyclical,
Speaker 1: Like if you think back to the early aughts, you know,
Speaker 1: the whole Sienna Miller and Kate Moss and early Coachella.
Speaker 1: That's boho chic and the dresses over the genes and
Speaker 1: it's back and you can thank the new creative director
Speaker 1: at Chloe for that. It's it originated on the runway.
Speaker 1: And so that you think this all started from that
Speaker 1: one specific runway, I do. I kind of think that
Speaker 1: it had its moment. It was so popular, it kind
Speaker 1: of went away and there was like the clean girl
Speaker 1: aesthetic and sporting and all these other things. And then
Speaker 1: you see this like one runway show and this, you know,
Speaker 1: the Chloe Your Runway show. It's just sort of defined
Speaker 1: it and everybody got excited and started to see the
Speaker 1: ruffles and the knee high boots and the floppy hats
Speaker 1: and they were like.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I love that.
Speaker 1: And then other designers Chloe's not the only one, but
Speaker 1: like Saint Laurent started putting out some really cool boho
Speaker 1: chic stuff and it feels fresh again. This reminds me
Speaker 1: of the Mumford and Sons Lumineers era.
Speaker 3: Yes, right, it's.
Speaker 1: Like taking me back to that, which is so interesting
Speaker 1: because if you're chronically online like me, if you go
Speaker 1: on TikTok Right now, there's a lot of talk about
Speaker 1: millennial trends and idiosyncrasies that we can now like look
Speaker 1: back at and laugh laugh about them. So it's really
Speaker 1: funny that this this is kind of like coming back
Speaker 1: into the zeitgeist. It's just nothing's nothing's new, you know,
Speaker 1: but it comes in like a fresh what feels new.
Speaker 3: A reinvented.
Speaker 4: Yes, so I feel like we were stuck in the nineties,
Speaker 4: yes for a minute. And now do you think we've
Speaker 4: transitioned into that early two thousands era?
Speaker 1: People are discovering It's like the TikTok generation is like, wait,
Speaker 1: what was that?
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 1: They didn't see it the first time, so to them,
Speaker 1: it's fresh. And because we all now listen to what
Speaker 1: they tell us, which is why I'm wearing cruise socks
Speaker 1: right now, right, we're like, okay, fine, if you guys
Speaker 1: think it's fresh and cool, here we are.
Speaker 3: Let's do it again totally. How are we?
Speaker 2: How are we doing boho chic differently this time?
Speaker 1: Because I would imagine it's not going to be like
Speaker 1: a one to one repeat of what we were seeing
Speaker 1: in the early aughts. Well, personally, you will not be
Speaker 1: seeing me wear dress over jeans, which is something There
Speaker 1: are photographs of me from the early aughts wearing that
Speaker 1: look like I would do a strapless kind of flowy
Speaker 1: empire waste dress over a pair of like flare like jeans.
Speaker 1: I don't know what like woodstock I thought I was
Speaker 1: going to or what musician I thought I was inspiring,
Speaker 1: But that was my vibe, because that's what it was.
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see you are going to
Speaker 1: see a lot of the ruffled blouses, and I do
Speaker 1: think you'll see more people doing the mini skirt with
Speaker 1: the high boots. But I think a lot of this
Speaker 1: is also festival where yes, right, like it's the time
Speaker 1: and place. I don't know that I'm wearing that, like
Speaker 1: to the office or to book club, if you will.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And when we think about incorporating some of this boho,
Speaker 4: you know, I think both of you sort of are.
Speaker 3: Like, oh my god, boho.
Speaker 4: But say your fit is not Boho traditionally, your style,
Speaker 4: aesthetache is not. How can you start to incorporate some
Speaker 4: of those that feel that style, that vibe while still
Speaker 4: maintaining your own style integrity.
Speaker 1: I think there's like two different ways to go about
Speaker 1: the trends in general, whether it's Boho or something else,
Speaker 1: you could either pretend it doesn't exist because it's a trend. Honestly,
Speaker 1: you don't have to like jump in or out if
Speaker 1: you need to like buy all new stuff to get
Speaker 1: in on the trends. If nothing in your existing wardrobe
Speaker 1: supports the trend, it's kind of like what's the point.
Speaker 1: So then it's a costume. So if you don't already
Speaker 1: maybe have somewhat of a boho vibe or some pieces
Speaker 1: already in your closet that support it to really want
Speaker 1: to like make yourself over and then be that girl. Right,
Speaker 1: So that's kind of how I look at it. Kendrick
Speaker 1: Lamar was already leaning into the boho trend with his
Speaker 1: Flair jeans. I'm wearing Flair jeans today. Everyone influences me everything.
Speaker 1: I have been influenced by Kendrick for sure. Okay, So
Speaker 1: in addition to Boho chic, I'm hearing that trends that
Speaker 1: start with the letter B are going to be big
Speaker 1: this season. Give me some other examples. We were too.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like brought to you by the
Speaker 1: letter B. This season, the number one is barn jacket. Okay,
Speaker 1: so we have barn jacket of barn jacket, think of
Speaker 1: those like tan or baize jackets, and then they have
Speaker 1: the contrasting brown collar and they actually are like from
Speaker 1: people who work in barns and around barns, like the
Speaker 1: car cards.
Speaker 3: And they're a little like arsized, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ralph Lauren equestrian vibes like I have a country
Speaker 1: house with some chickens, Like I don't deal with them,
Speaker 1: but like I'll take a picture with them. So the
Speaker 1: row in Prada, like you know, this just happens all
Speaker 1: of a sudden. They're like inspired by barn ware and
Speaker 1: they put barn jackets on the runway. And then Haley
Speaker 1: Bieber patron scene of trends.
Speaker 2: You know, we all love her style.
Speaker 1: She wore the Prata one on Valentine's Day with a
Speaker 1: knee high boot and that was it. Guys, It's game
Speaker 1: over there everywhere.
Speaker 4: Holding her air one smoothie everywhere.
Speaker 1: You cannot toss your purse without hitting a girl at
Speaker 1: a barn jacket right now.
Speaker 2: It's what denhim jackets have been.
Speaker 3: So that would be like a replacement for a denim jacket.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Yes, but don't get rid of your Dunham Jackettenham
Speaker 1: jacket's a classic. I have sixteen different cuts and you know,
Speaker 1: colors in my closet and they go in and out
Speaker 1: depending on the year.
Speaker 2: But I would say barn jackets into a jacket.
Speaker 4: You also mentioned bubble skirts, another bait, another bae.
Speaker 1: Bubble skirts is a tough one. Bubble hems. You know,
Speaker 1: they have that like balloon shape with the volume. It's
Speaker 1: like a bubble and you can literally think of like
Speaker 1: an eighties prom dress. Reformations got the bubble minis and
Speaker 1: they're very fun and they're very kind of flirty and feminine.
Speaker 1: I think that bubble hem ship sales for me Andrea.
Speaker 1: Doesn't this feel like an evolution of ballerinicor like we
Speaker 1: saw that balet plot. Yeah, we saw a lot of
Speaker 1: ballet flats over the past like six months year, and
Speaker 1: a bubble skirt would look adorable with a nice ballet
Speaker 1: flat and your barn jacket. By the way, you throw
Speaker 1: a barn jacket over your bubble skirt, and now you're
Speaker 1: hitting two trends and you're kind of counteracting the girliness
Speaker 1: of the bubble skirt with the cool, laid back vibe
Speaker 1: of your barn jacket. I believe in the power of boundaries,
Speaker 1: you guys, So I'm going to set a boundary here
Speaker 1: with bubble skirts. I don't mind a bubble dress.
Speaker 3: I think they.
Speaker 1: I need that continuity, you know, and you need the
Speaker 1: you need the balance of like a loose fitting or
Speaker 1: larger silhouette on the bottom with a tight fitting like
Speaker 1: you know, sucked in top like lead ard vibes that
Speaker 1: I could get behind.
Speaker 3: Would you have ever rocked that bubble skirt style, simone.
Speaker 2: I probably did.
Speaker 1: Gosh, if I went back through the archives, like I
Speaker 1: wore some crazy stuff. I thought I was Rihanna at
Speaker 1: one point and like whatever she was, Like, I wore
Speaker 1: like a Tutuo dress out to the club at one.
Speaker 3: Point, like a Carrie Bradshaw moment.
Speaker 2: I thought I was Blossom. I wore like my Mitzvah.
Speaker 1: Whole time that era was all bubble skirts and hats
Speaker 1: and costumes. So you know, I wish I had that
Speaker 1: blind confidence again, right, which my parents gave me boundaries
Speaker 1: fashion wise, but instead they let me express myself, which
Speaker 1: was really neat.
Speaker 2: Tim knows this.
Speaker 1: I am obsessed with this site called data, but make
Speaker 1: a fashion yeactually a content creator who really provides this
Speaker 1: like analytical background behind the trends that we're seeing in fashion.
Speaker 1: And so this creator she predicts trends by sourcing retail data.
Speaker 1: And there are a few things that stood out to
Speaker 1: me that I wanted to run by you Andrea. So
Speaker 1: just last week data but make it Fashion reported an
Speaker 1: eighteen percent jump in black nail polish. I actually, I
Speaker 1: am such a huge fan of black nail polish. Are
Speaker 1: you seeing this out in the wild? I had not
Speaker 1: been seeing black nail polished in the wilds, especially heading
Speaker 1: into spring. But at the same time, I feel like
Speaker 1: the world is scary, and blacknail polish like sometimes you
Speaker 1: get the manicure that reflects how you're feeling, and like
Speaker 1: we are in a transitional time, so perhaps black nails
Speaker 1: feels right. Also surprising is a one hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: eight percent jump in the color baby blue since the Grammys.
Speaker 1: Well we know why, Sabrina Carpenter right absolutely. I mean
Speaker 1: it's like that is her color, that is now her
Speaker 1: signature shade. I think you probably have to ask her
Speaker 1: permission if you're going to wear it, because she she
Speaker 1: owns it. I mean, it's not a common color you
Speaker 1: see on the red carpet. She wore it in such
Speaker 1: a cool it was like retro but fresh and sexy
Speaker 1: but elegant.
Speaker 2: She did all the things.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Benson Boone too with that jem.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, his jumpsuit.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: But yeah, baby blue.
Speaker 1: I mean it does feel springy, right, like you think
Speaker 1: of Easter eggs and I think of Easter candy.
Speaker 3: What other colors are you saying?
Speaker 2: Another bee? Butter yellow, guys, butter yellows everywhere, everywhere? And this,
Speaker 2: I like it.
Speaker 1: This makes more sense to me than the blacknail pole check.
Speaker 1: I really do want to dig into where the blacknail
Speaker 1: polish is coming from, because it's coming from somewhere.
Speaker 2: But yellow, it's a mood booster.
Speaker 1: And if you do that muted soft yellow, not like
Speaker 1: a bright yellow, it's almost like a neutral. So you
Speaker 1: can wear it. You don't have to like you shouldn't
Speaker 1: wear it. I don't think with other pastels. I think
Speaker 1: you wear it with some chocolate browns or some grays
Speaker 1: or some beiges and you treat it like a neutral
Speaker 1: and it's really pretty.
Speaker 3: Oh that's smart.
Speaker 4: I'm having this like Devilawares product moment where Miranda Priestley
Speaker 4: goes floors first Spring, ground breaking, right.
Speaker 1: My friend wore a butter yellow dress to our friend's
Speaker 1: wedding recently. It was so gorgeous. It's so gorgeous, it's
Speaker 1: so elegant. Whatever I think whenever I think of butter yellow,
Speaker 1: I always think of Kate Hudson's How to Lose a Guy.
Speaker 1: That's the core memory. It's a Dora Diamonds. Yes, it's
Speaker 1: a great dress. And another Sabrina Carpenter. I mean she
Speaker 1: wore that dressed.
Speaker 3: You were a version of it. So we should just.
Speaker 1: Be looking directly at Sabrina Carpenter right now. She has
Speaker 1: her finger on the pulse.
Speaker 4: And I love the way that you talk about thinking
Speaker 4: about that as a neutral, because I think some people
Speaker 4: would think that could be the accent.
Speaker 3: But if you incorporated the opposite, the kre freaks out.
Speaker 2: My butter yellow.
Speaker 1: It's soft, it's unassuming, it's not here to hurt you,
Speaker 1: and you can treat it, pretend it's like cream.
Speaker 2: Just wear a butter yellow shirt.
Speaker 1: And then put the same button down or whatever you
Speaker 1: would put over a cream color one, and you'll be
Speaker 1: shocked at how versatile it really is.
Speaker 2: Back in a Moment with Andrea Labnhal.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's talk beauty makeup. What are you seeing in
Speaker 4: terms of makeup trends.
Speaker 1: One of the things that's really an easy and fun
Speaker 1: trend is glass skin sticks. So glass skin has been
Speaker 1: trending for a while. It's just basically means that your
Speaker 1: skin is so hydrated and healthy and smooth and gorgeous.
Speaker 1: It has the reflectiveness of glass. And it came from
Speaker 1: k Beauty. Korean beauty. None of us have the time
Speaker 1: to spend with our twelve step skincare routine to get
Speaker 1: glass skin. So what happened The brands were like, fine,
Speaker 1: will help you out. We're going to invent these glass
Speaker 1: skin sticks that have like skincare ingredients, but like they're
Speaker 1: kind of like a highlighter and if you put it
Speaker 1: on your cheekbones, you can build up how much glassiness
Speaker 1: you And I kind of like that. Loreal has one
Speaker 1: Peach and Lily Glossy I has a great one, and
Speaker 1: they're kind of no brainer.
Speaker 4: Yeah, same because I have there's a GLOSSI of product
Speaker 4: that I like that gives me just like a little
Speaker 4: bit of a glow and.
Speaker 1: It's nice because it's like they usually like moisturize. I
Speaker 1: have some kind of moisturize ingredient and you put it
Speaker 1: on like the high points, you know, your your cheekbones,
Speaker 1: you put on your brow bone, and they actually do
Speaker 1: add a nice reflective element, but without the shimmer too
Speaker 1: much shimmer or like color.
Speaker 2: It's just to get that glassiness.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I like those.
Speaker 2: I actually love that we're moving away from that super
Speaker 2: dried up matte makeup look and it more into like glowy,
Speaker 2: even like greasy, you know what I mean. Like I
Speaker 2: am like make me doy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I slather on squalen oil and like, I love
Speaker 1: that it makes my skin so like like you were saying,
Speaker 1: like reflective and juicy, and it's it's very forgiving as
Speaker 1: we get into our.
Speaker 2: Ripe older years.
Speaker 1: I don't think that like the kind of matt or
Speaker 1: heavy contoured glam translates as much in real life. It's
Speaker 1: cool for editorial or on Instagram or the red carpet,
Speaker 1: but for the rest of us, like you really just
Speaker 1: want your skin to look nice and healthy. And Chloe
Speaker 1: another this is more of a product trends again, but
Speaker 1: it's a fun one. Hair fragrances. Everyone is launching a
Speaker 1: hair fragrance, not something you knew you needed, but once
Speaker 1: you start using it, you're kind of like, I love
Speaker 1: a hair fragrance. You know the hair hand sanitizer brand
Speaker 1: touch Land. They just launched body and hair miss that
Speaker 1: are like delicious smelling a trust to May just launched
Speaker 1: a beautiful one. You'd be surprised if you google hair
Speaker 1: fragrance how many brands have made one this in the
Speaker 1: last like six months.
Speaker 2: They're very popular.
Speaker 4: That's incredible. And will a hair fragrance conflict with your
Speaker 4: own it's.
Speaker 1: A great question. Fragrances like high I would make sure
Speaker 1: it's complementary. So the thing about hair fragrances that's good is,
Speaker 1: first of all, they're less expensive than traditional fragrance because
Speaker 1: they have they're they're less concentrated. There's they don't have
Speaker 1: the alcohol content because otherwise that would dry out your hair.
Speaker 1: So it's sort of like, if you want to test
Speaker 1: out a sense without buying the real thing, you can
Speaker 1: buy the hair fragrance and they're meant to be more,
Speaker 1: in my opinion, as like a touch up, a last step.
Speaker 2: If you will.
Speaker 1: I want a sound tall base, just bathe me in
Speaker 1: Son Tall every nothing smells better. I want to smell
Speaker 1: like a fancy hotel.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's how I want to smell. That's how I
Speaker 2: want my house to a.
Speaker 1: Rich hotel that you cannot afford, five star hotel.
Speaker 3: Fragrance.
Speaker 1: I love just being smacked in the face with that
Speaker 1: fragrance when you walk in the lobby.
Speaker 2: It's so you're like, I'm getting what I paid for exactly.
Speaker 1: I also, yes, it smells expensive.
Speaker 3: And here I also love all the fragrance.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, very nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah that feels like if you if a place has
Speaker 1: those in the bathroom. Again, I feel like, fine, you
Speaker 1: can mark up the price of my omelet, or you have.
Speaker 3: Nice hands soap. You spend forty dollars on soap, I'll
Speaker 3: beat an electra for eggs. Right.
Speaker 1: Also, such a great gift, like just like oh, hand
Speaker 1: soap ASoP, hand soap, such a great gift. Yes, books,
Speaker 1: I would never spend it on like my soap necessarily.
Speaker 2: But like for someone else.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do that a lot.
Speaker 2: In my house.
Speaker 1: In the guest bathroom, you will find the most expensive soap.
Speaker 1: In the rest of our bathrooms you will find soft
Speaker 1: soap for CBSKED but LD some dial as far as
Speaker 1: anyone out there knows, we use forty five dollars hand
Speaker 1: soap all day, every day in every bathroom.
Speaker 2: Yes, and that's what I want people to know about me.
Speaker 3: Yes.
Speaker 4: I'm also obsessed with sunscreen. And I just saw you
Speaker 4: on the Today Show talking about the evolution of sunscreen.
Speaker 3: Can you tell us what's new?
Speaker 1: Sunscreen's tough because you have to wear it no matter what,
Speaker 1: and it's just not the sexiest thing, right, Like people
Speaker 1: always complain that it feels sticky, or it's heavy, or
Speaker 1: they don't like the white cast, or you know, it
Speaker 1: just doesn't feel sensorially like a good step, a fun step.
Speaker 1: And whenever it's something you have to do or have
Speaker 1: to wear, all of a sudden, it becomes like I
Speaker 1: don't want to do it. So these k beauty brands,
Speaker 1: and the one that people love is the Beauty of Josion,
Speaker 1: and it's an affordable one. By the way, these sunscreens
Speaker 1: are so silky and so lightweight. They're like a pleasure
Speaker 1: to put on your face. It's like they trick you
Speaker 1: into doing something good for yourself because they make it
Speaker 1: feel good and look good on your skin. And the
Speaker 1: one that I put on the today's show from them
Speaker 1: is they're brand new tinted because I'm all like, if
Speaker 1: you can add in one more step for me and
Speaker 1: not only protect my skin and make it look nice
Speaker 1: and hydrated, but also even it out, I'm here.
Speaker 4: Do they have them in different finishes, like you know
Speaker 4: you talked about like the glasstick.
Speaker 3: Did they have them in mad or so that brand?
Speaker 2: Not necessarily?
Speaker 1: But what's also great right now about the worlds of
Speaker 1: sunscreen is like, if you want to glow, you know,
Speaker 1: like Supergoop, make it a glowstick that gives you glass
Speaker 1: skin basically with sunscreen. But if you want a Matt
Speaker 1: finish you can find that a million times over as well.
Speaker 2: There's just so many.
Speaker 1: More formats, but these k beauty ones are just like
Speaker 1: taking over and then one last thing. So in terms
Speaker 1: of beauty trends, I don't know if you guys saw it,
Speaker 1: but Billy Eyelish this was like a few months ago,
Speaker 1: did a get Ready with Me on TikTok where she
Speaker 1: did her own makeup for her show and lined her
Speaker 1: eyes all the way around, and it was like, overnight,
Speaker 1: let's wear eyeliner again. Because for a while, the clean
Speaker 1: girl aesthetic didn't really like lend itself to eyeliner. There
Speaker 1: wasn't a lot of focus on makeup. It was more
Speaker 1: about the skin and the hair slicks back. And now
Speaker 1: it's like, thank you Billy for bringing back eyeliner because
Speaker 1: I love an eyeliner.
Speaker 2: I need it.
Speaker 3: And can you wear like a thick eyeliner with this
Speaker 3: boho aesthetic?
Speaker 1: Wow? Tim, that's a hard one, honestly.
Speaker 2: I mean, yes, you could do whatever you want. Does
Speaker 2: the vibe match?
Speaker 1: No, That's the thing, Like, if you already lean towards
Speaker 1: a boho vibe, boho makes sense. But if you were
Speaker 1: like not, and you have to rethink your hair, your makeup,
Speaker 1: your shoes, your bag, your husband, like all of it.
Speaker 1: Don't do the trends. It's too much.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: So when we think about beauty products, I'm always thinking
Speaker 1: of how I can amplify women owned brands, especially considering
Speaker 1: that female founded companies only receive roughly two percent of
Speaker 1: funding from venture capital firms.
Speaker 2: I have been loving Tower twenty eight.
Speaker 1: I'm a Tower twenty eight girl, love yeah and tinted.
Speaker 1: My friend Ray Dawn her Balleton company. She does like
Speaker 1: cleansers that like really remove all your makeup with like
Speaker 1: shade butter, super moisturizing cleansers. What are some of what
Speaker 1: are some of the female founded beauty companies that are
Speaker 1: in your rotation right now? Well, this is why I
Speaker 1: love working in beauty because there's so many of them.
Speaker 1: The good news is this is a tough question because
Speaker 1: there's so many of them in beauty. So here are
Speaker 1: my top three for makeup, say Beauty Saie. I've loved
Speaker 1: this brand since it found it about like six years ago.
Speaker 1: The founder is incredibly intentional about what she launches, and
Speaker 1: not only are the products great, they're all clean, clean ingredients,
Speaker 1: sustainable packaging, and even the way the office runs. The
Speaker 1: business runs is with sustainability in minds. Like they're hardcore
Speaker 1: about it. So it's not just to put it on
Speaker 1: their packaging and make it part of their marketing. It's
Speaker 1: like their DNA. So I appreciate that. There's another line
Speaker 1: for haircare, Roseroz from Mara Rosac. She's a celebrity hairstylist.
Speaker 1: When she launched her products, I was like, excellent, Like,
Speaker 1: we do have a lot of brands, but when it's
Speaker 1: someone like that, You're like, I want to see what
Speaker 1: you're going to do, and she did a great job.
Speaker 1: Her stuff is also made with clean ingredients. It smells
Speaker 1: so good, and let's be honest, at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, with hair care, it's all about the smell.
Speaker 1: If it doesn't smell good, what's the point. So then
Speaker 1: you have to wear a lot of hair bray brants.
Speaker 3: Yes, I want to be I want to be in
Speaker 3: an herbal Essence commercial.
Speaker 1: Right, you want to feel something when you smell that shampoo,
Speaker 1: and her stuff smells so good and she's just got
Speaker 1: really cool products.
Speaker 2: I used her thickening.
Speaker 1: It's like a texturizing spray blows on my hair today
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is good.
Speaker 2: And then my last one.
Speaker 1: There's a skincare brand, small and Newish from an esthetician
Speaker 1: named Sophie Patt, and she focuses on acnic skin. Breakouts
Speaker 1: are her specialty and it doesn't matter if you are
Speaker 1: in your twenties or your forties. Are all cursed with breakouts.
Speaker 1: So she really has taken that on in a very
Speaker 1: thoughtful way. Her products are awesome, So those are my
Speaker 1: top three. Also have to give a shout out to
Speaker 1: Selena Gomez's rare beauty. Her blushes, her powder, her pinch. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're beautiful. I'm also curious about gadgets. I keep seeing
Speaker 1: things for like red light therapies and such. What's your
Speaker 1: take on beauty gadgets? My take is, if you have
Speaker 1: small children in the house, do not open your bedroom
Speaker 1: door while you're wearing one of the adible lector masks
Speaker 1: with the red light. There's not enough therapy. Okay, your
Speaker 1: kids are sleeping with the lights on for taking, They're like,
Speaker 1: Mommy had a nightmare, and then you come in and
Speaker 1: you're wearing the red light mask and they're like, ah,
Speaker 1: like it's terrible. So here's what I always say, because
Speaker 1: this is probably the question I get the most right now,
Speaker 1: is like do I need to be using one of
Speaker 1: those things? And I know what they're talking they're talking about,
Speaker 1: like the mask or the wand I mean the answer is, maybe,
Speaker 1: are you willing to commit to every night a minimum
Speaker 1: of fifteen minutes every night in the beginning for the
Speaker 1: first at least three to six months, because that's usually
Speaker 1: what it takes to see an actual result. It's not
Speaker 1: that they don't work, it's that you actually have to
Speaker 1: use them for them to work. And most of us
Speaker 1: put it next to the bed and we hope that
Speaker 1: by having it close to us.
Speaker 3: Somehow there's moss. Right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I have one of the more expensive like
Speaker 1: this one's like used on all the celebrities, and honestly,
Speaker 1: it sits there a lot, and I forget that I
Speaker 1: have it, and I forget to use it, and then
Speaker 1: I'll use it once and be like I'm stunning, like
Speaker 1: it did its shop look at me. But the truth
Speaker 1: is it's not going to move the needle if you
Speaker 1: don't really stick to it.
Speaker 4: I think that's so interesting because they definitely promise a
Speaker 4: more instant result. You to think about three to six months.
Speaker 4: That's an investment.
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as an instant result from some
Speaker 1: thing like that unless you're doing it with a dirm
Speaker 1: or it has to be a medical grade.
Speaker 2: That's my thing.
Speaker 1: I'm like naturally skeptical of any of these consumer grade
Speaker 1: cosmetic gadgets or what have you, because we're often getting
Speaker 1: the water down version of what you gut in the
Speaker 1: dermatologist's office. I'd much rather just pay more money to
Speaker 1: get the more effective.
Speaker 2: Potent treatment.
Speaker 1: And this is a tough one because you don't want
Speaker 1: to tell people to just spend money, but if it
Speaker 1: makes you happy, if it encourages you to spend some
Speaker 1: more time taking care of your skin while you're watching
Speaker 1: white Lotus right, Like, there is something very relaxing about
Speaker 1: putting your salum and your moisturizer on, and mine is
Speaker 1: like a wand and I just sit there like a
Speaker 1: weird zombie moving it around my face. So if it's
Speaker 1: like part of your self care routine and it makes
Speaker 1: you feel good, by all.
Speaker 2: Means do it.
Speaker 1: They do temporarily boost circulation, so you are going to
Speaker 1: get a little bit of like a nice glow immediately
Speaker 1: after using them. But the long term, the actual in
Speaker 1: building all the things that they say they're going to do,
Speaker 1: it's like, yeah, you got to use it. Though a
Speaker 1: lot fair body has a lot of consumer grade products
Speaker 1: that deliver professional results at least, like that's what I'm
Speaker 1: hearing from a lot of people who are using them.
Speaker 1: I like the idea of buying it from a company
Speaker 1: that just feels a bit more like rooted in science
Speaker 1: or research or performance, you know.
Speaker 3: What I mean.
Speaker 1: Vibes like don't go off the vibes no, and don't
Speaker 1: go off like TikTok shop, like, make sure it's coming
Speaker 1: from a reputable company that has like proven their.
Speaker 2: Results actually work. Okay.
Speaker 1: Finally, just bringing things back full circle to where we
Speaker 1: started this conversation in terms of trends that we can
Speaker 1: all keep an eye out for this year.
Speaker 2: No fit is complete without the right bag. What are
Speaker 2: you liking for bags this season?
Speaker 1: Andrea, Well, what's so funny is like there are a
Speaker 1: ton of like bag trends right now, Like the big
Speaker 1: oversized Swede bag is one, and you'll see a lot
Speaker 1: of brands like even Gap has an amazing one, Like
Speaker 1: you can get them at all different price points. But
Speaker 1: the trend that I'm like having the most fun with
Speaker 1: enjoying is people's bag charms, so like accessories for their accessories.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have seen this yet
Speaker 1: in the wild, you will.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: My kids leave for school every day with like all
Speaker 1: these charms flying off their backpack, right.
Speaker 2: I don't know why they want all this, but they do.
Speaker 1: And now I'm seeing grown women and men adding little
Speaker 1: bag charms, and you can get them from like high
Speaker 1: fashion companies like Fendi, Coach Stelle, McCartney, where you could
Speaker 1: go to Clare's and it's a way to personalize your bag.
Speaker 2: It's kind of fun.
Speaker 1: We all could use a little bit more fun and
Speaker 1: whimsy and our sad lives with our blacknail polish.
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
Speaker 1: I want to hate it because it's like, what are
Speaker 1: we twelve, But at the same time, I'm like, put
Speaker 1: some cherries on your bag.
Speaker 2: And have a goodness. Is the rebrand of the rabbit foot.
Speaker 2: Let's just be honest.
Speaker 3: Rabbit foot.
Speaker 1: This is just if you grew up in the eighties
Speaker 1: and nineties you had a fuzzy little rabbit foot in
Speaker 1: all the colors of the rainbow that you would like
Speaker 1: hang on your backpack. I'm telling you, though, be on
Speaker 1: the lookout for bad charms and like some of the
Speaker 1: really like high fashion, like a fashion maet. You see
Speaker 1: someone with like a tiny.
Speaker 2: Bag on their bigger bag.
Speaker 1: I myself don't own a bag charm, but like I
Speaker 1: do support others who that's so funny.
Speaker 4: My nephews who are like you know, eight and ten
Speaker 4: were doing that with their crocs. They had these little
Speaker 4: It's like, it's not enough.
Speaker 1: To have the bag, you now need the accessories for
Speaker 1: the accessory and like that's consumerism people.
Speaker 4: Totally, but it seems like it's a nice, easy way
Speaker 4: to refresh a.
Speaker 3: Bag without having to go buy an entire new one.
Speaker 2: It's very tempting.
Speaker 1: I have seen some really cute coach charms and I'm like,
Speaker 1: maybe I do need a little robot hanging from my births.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the secrets of happiness. It wasn't the probiotics, it's.
Speaker 2: The bag charm.
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of charm, Andrea, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: joining us.
Speaker 2: As always, it's my pleasure.
Speaker 3: I cannot wait to try that new sunscreen. I'm going
Speaker 3: to get it today and get a backtarm. Yeah, yeah, totally.
Speaker 3: Thanks so much.
