  • Haute Lips: 4 Shades of Red Lipstick for Valentine’s Day

    Whether you are spending Valentine’s Day over a romantic dinner with your boo, indulging yourself in a Golden Girls marathon with your besties (or your cat, because they count as besties too!), or just scrolling through Instagram to find the best anti-Valentine’s-Day meme ever, be sure to rock a...
  • The End-of-World Hipster

    As the cold season begins to make its way into Philth and the supposed Mayan End-of-Times is on its eve of possible destruction, my only major concern is: what will distant-future anthropologists have to say about the final youth generation’s style?
