The following is a guest post from our friends at Lucky.
When I was pregnant with my daughter Rumi Joon, I had what I like to call an “eco-awakening.” I grew up in a very green household in Northern California, and I was used to eating organic and living sustainably. But when I became pregnant, my awareness of my impact on the world, my baby and myself expanded in a huge way. As a model, I spent years in the makeup chair. When I was pregnant, I started to ask for natural, toxin-free cosmetics, but there was nothing available that fit my needs. I kept wondering, what is this stuff doing to my child? So I created my own line of pure and healthy makeup that is good for your body and the planet.
Now that I’m pregnant with my second child (due in July!) I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about how to detox your beauty routine. Here are my best tips.

I can picture Jessa from “Girls” wearing this 3.1 Phillip Lim skirt, rolling her eyes at her velour-tracksuit-wearing American cousin who doesn’t get if, like, it’s a skirt or a sweater or if it’s all one piece. I can almost hear Jessa’s breathless reply that she’s missing the whole point that it’s art.
That scene would be funny, but let me step back: I’m not making fun of the skirt itself. I love, love Phillip Lim—I want that whole fall collection—and I’m down with ironically grungy designer fashion, too. But at $325, it’s some expensive subversiveness, a steep fee for the stunt of separates that look like one piece (kinda like that McQ by Alexander McQueen $830 Canadian tuxedo).
Which leads me to perhaps the only DIY I’ve never been scared to attempt, as it involves zero glue guns, craft stores or patience, and only two steps. First, buy a similar gray skirt (marled fabric, slouchy knit). Second, find a lighter long-sleeved shirt or sweater and tie it around the waist,
“Clarissa Explains it All”-style.
Click through the slideshow below for a way to do it that costs just $159, so you can get the look of the Lim skirt and still have enough money left over for something equally “I’m running late to that thing at that gallery.” Like a floppy, oversized clutch, blocky wedges or something else Phillip Lim—perhaps this asymmetrical, drapey dress?

Are you planning to cry your eyes out, sing along to Celine Dion and ogle a much-younger Leo DiCaprio in multiple dimensions in Titanic 3D? Yeah, us too. And while the epic flick’s female lead wears some pretty amazing pieces onscreen (we’re still not over that swirl-patterned coat she leaves behind when she goes splashing into the flooded steerage section for Leo), her real-life style is equally impressive.
Want proof? Check out these eighteen amazing outfits Kate Winslet has worn over the past decade. She may favor simple silhouettes, minimal embellishment and LBDs, but the British actress’s wardrobe is far from boring. And frankly, we hope she “never lets go” of her signature look.

With her to-die-for curves and perfectly-tanned complexion, Salma Hayek naturally looks pretty smashing no matter what she wears. But thanks to her innate style sense and fashion-savvy husband (he’s none other than PPR CEO François-Henri Pinault, who reps Gucci, Balenciaga, and more), her wardrobe puts most movie stars’ to shame. Click through to check out some of the most memorable looks our May covergirl’s ever worn.
