Obsessions + Recs: June | Summer Trend Forecast
Guests: Emily Kirkpatrick & Jessica DeFino of Mess World
It’s time for our June installment of Obsessions + Recs, and joining me to forecast the summer are the foremost minds in beauty and fashion critique, Jessica DeFino and Emily Kirkpatrick of Mess World (dream guests!).
We get into our predictions for the season and the trends that have hit our radar as of late. Everything from cadaver fat fillers and the Marilyn Monroe resurgence to the Kardashian fashion knockoff industrial complex, bare nails as a peasant era indicator, Rosie O’Donnell’s facelift, influencer hauls as a reason to Brick, and oh so much more.
Feast your eyes on this! As a rare occurrence, you can watch the full video of this conversation right here:
