The Insider’s It Bags 2018

Image via @hadiaghaleb What makes an It bag so highly coveted? Why do certain handbags suddenly become these cult-carryalls so lusted after? Anyone with an AmEx can walk into a store and buy the latest designer accessories on display, but that doesn't make them stylish or fashion forward. Many times, it is just a case of being desperate to flaunt another symbol of wealth rather than personal style. Leave it up to the fashion insiders, the real innovators, that see…

Style Swings Both Ways

Another fashion month has come and gone, and although snow lines the streets, the sunshine promises that Spring will arrive any moment. While the cold lingers and I'm still shivering head to toe in layers of warm clothing, let's talk about the fashion for Fall/Winter 2018. In New York, British designer Naeem Anthony of Helen Anthony made his NYFW debut with a Unisex collection inspired by the merging of East and West culture. Known for its daring cuts, leading style and…

Beta Glucan is the Future of Skincare

Here at Mack In Style, our fabulous and fearless editor Mackenzie gives us free reign of what we would like to write about, and any thoughts or topics that we'd like to get off of our chests and into the internet is fair play. It is almost a therapeutic way to nurture our personal interests and share them to whoever is listening, though since we are usually on the same page, everything works together nicely and remains on-brand. Though the…

VB x Estée Lauder

As my bio states, Posh Spice is and forever will be my spirit animal. Tattoo it on my forehead, scream it from the mountain tops. We've had our milestones together; our ups and downs. The Posh Spice Barbie doll, dressed in a black and purple lace-trimmed slip dress, was always my go-to. We both know we can't sing too well.  No smiling? No problem. We're happy (enough) on the inside. I stood by her with both her questionable matching outfits…

Torrid Debuts @ NYFW

As Fashion Month nears its end for the Spring/ Summer 2018 season, I look back on my experience at New York Fashion Week. A few years ago, I could only dream of attending such a glamorous event. There were many personal fashion highlights, such as seeing Anna Dello Russo rock THE $10,000 Yves Saint Laurent boots in person, or catching a glimpse of my imaginary bestie, Derek Blasberg, exiting the Michael Kors show. The real headliner of the week, though,…

One-Piece Wonders: #BBBSwim

By now you've surely seen her textured, figure- flattering leggings on multitudes of women in Boston's hottest gyms and studios. You might own a few pairs yourself and you may have even taken the class that started it all, Booty by Brabants. Kelly Brabants, fitness instructor and fashion designer, is the one we can thank for improving the workout-wear and derrières of Boston babes everywhere. She's created a cult-like following, drawing inspiration from the Brazilian booty in both her workout class…

A Stylish Start

As a self-diagnosed creature of habit, all of the changes that are presently happening in my life would typically throw me for a loop. Graduating from college, moving out of my beloved North End neighborhood (okay, this one is especially upsetting), and having to apply to jobs in my desired industry are all daunting affairs. I may have no idea what city I'll end up in or what job I'll land, but I do know that I'll be spending a month in London this…

Carolina Martinez: The Total Catch

A few weeks back, Camilla and I found ourselves in Back Bay at a table in The Colonnade Hotel's Brasserie Jo restaurant, sat across from the absolutely radiant Carolina Martinez. As we glanced over our notes one last time, we tried our very hardest to contain our excitement for the interview we were about to conduct. You may recognize her husband, perhaps, Baseball Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez. Pretty decent baseball player, they say! Quite well known in Boston, we hear! Just kidding--Pedro is obviously a legend.…

A Day of Bliss at Bella Santé

I am a self-confessed beauty and wellness fanatic. I am a proud VIB cardholder at Sephora, my skincare routine has more steps than Machu Picchu, and when my clock strikes 5:45 AM, I am up and off to barre, yoga, or spin. With that being said, prior to these last few weeks I was a spa virgin. A lover of face masks, though I'd never had a proper facial. The only massage I've had was when my roommate and I thought…

VB x Target Launches Sunday

As I type this, I am hyperventilating through a brown paper lunch bag in anticipation for Sunday's launch of the Victoria Beckham x Target collaboration. I am certain I will immediately regret writing this article upon completion because I fear you will all congest Target's website on Sunday and ruin my chances of snatching up the clothing items I need way more than you do. Victoria Beckham is my spirit animal. But since all is fair in love and fashion I…
