the checklist
get out of bed and get inspired instead.
The Checklist Curator: Liza Darwin
The Look:
Ali Michael in the Urban Outfitters Fall '13 lookbook
Because the only thing tiding me over until summer is the thought that soon I'll be able to channel Ali Michael, wearing breezy checked dresses and Nikes while chilling outside with my dog. The sunshine is so close, I can almost taste it.
The Face:
arphin Ideal Resource Overnight Cream
If you want to treat yourself, look no further than this super-luxe night cream. Packed with tons anti-aging properties, this ultra-hydrating formula restores skin so you'll wake up feeling refreshed. But a warning: once you try it, it's hard to go back.
The News:
Lupita Nyong'o's moving speech
Her Oscar speech last night was beautiful, but we also can't get over Lupita Nyong'o's thoughtful, moving acceptance speech at the Black Women in Hollywood Luncheon. In it, the
12 Years A Slave
actress discusses self-hate, how she became comfortable in her own skin, and found the real meaning of beauty. Seriously,
...you'll be glad you did.
The Inspiration:
Lou Doillon, NYLON 2006
I might not be able to lie in bed all day like Lou Doillon, but at least I can live vicariously through this dreamy photo. It doesn't matter whether the image is from 2006 or 2014, the French singer is proof that effortless cool really never fades.
The Song:
Don't know Shura yet? Prepare to be blown away. I've been obsessing ever since the enigmatic London singer dropped the floaty, '80s-inflecting jam upon the world...and I'm clearly in good company, since she's racked up more than 138,000 plays within two weeks. Is she the female answer to Blood Orange? Maybe, and we can't wait to find out.

The Song: "Touch" by Shura
Don't know Shura yet? Prepare to be blown away by this floaty, '80s-inflected jam. I've been obsessing ever since the enigmatic London singer dropped the track upon the world...and I'm clearly in good company, since she's racked up more than 138,000 plays within two weeks. Is she the female answer to Blood Orange? Maybe, and we can't wait to find out.
