Rihanna's Maternity Style Is Bold, Bright, & Breaking The Internet
Source: DUTCH/Bauer-Griffin / Getty Rihanna is the blueprint for effortless maternity style – pregnant, unbothered, and pushing the fashion envelope like only she can. The global style icon was recently spotted on the streets of Los Angeles in a dreamy, pastel pink and yellow cotton candy-inspired maxi dress that looked like a birthday cake in motion. We're talking swirls of colors, flowy fabrics, and sweet details. And in true Rih Rih form, she paired it with bold, lime green sneakers. One thing the Puma ambassador is going to do is rock kicks and lean into couture comfort. We care about your data. See our privacy policy. Rihanna's look is playful, fresh, and peak her. From the sheer fabric that showed off her baby bump to the daring style, it was a full fashion moment that only she could pull off. The mother of soon-to-be three appeared like a walking ad for fearless maternity fashion. Then, like the fashion shapeshifter she is, Rihanna pulled a full 180. Paparazzi recently caught her out again – this time in a cozy charcoal gray sweatshirt, relaxed fit jeans, and a fox fur shawl. Her accessories did not disappoint: oversized sunglasses, layers of gold jewelry, a black purse, and leopard print booties for a little edge. The look was giving, luxe, laid back, and fall-ready. Whether she's dripping in soft pastels or oversized streetwear, Rihanna continues to rewrite the maternity style rules with every outing. She reminds us that there's no one way to 'dress pregnant' and proves that expecting moms can still serve lewks, switch it up, and have fun with fashion. When it comes to motherhood and style, Rihanna is always in labor – and delivering. SEE ALSO Rihanna's Maternity Style Is Bold, Bright, & Breaking The Internet – Again was originally published on

is the commerce writer at Eater, and an award-winning writer with bylines in GQ, VICE, The Daily Beast, and other publications. A curious home cook with a deep love of Polish cabbage rolls, her devotion to food service journalism knows no bounds. As we edge towards August, some of the best food- and cookware-related deals really start to ripen. We're almost entering Summerween, which means this is one of the last periods in which all kinds of colorful, cookout-ready pieces, from cheery Le Creuset pinch bowls to main character energy, farmstand graphic dresses, will be filling the digital sale racks; in no time at all, an influx of pumpkin decor (that we kind of hate-love) will be hitting the shelves of our local T.J. Maxx. Crank your AC unit, and let's shop. Le Creuset Factory to Table sale Attending a brick-and-mortar Le Creuset factory sale is something of a sport, and one that I will happily sit out knowing that I can find deals that are just as good during the heritage French cookware company's Factory to Table sale online. You can expect the usual smorgasbord of Le Creuset classics from this sale, including Dutch ovens, braisers, and cast-iron grills galore, but I've set my eyes on its more niche selection of colorful bowls, herb planters, and the iconic miniature cocottes. Save $40 off this flight of miniature cocottes Get 38% off these colorful stoneware bowls Upgrade your kitchen basil plant pot SSENSE's 75% off sale is filled with designer goods For newcomers to SSENSE, the site is a vast, impeccably curated marketplace for the streetwear- and emerging designer-inclined; think, freaky-beautiful Chopova Lowena necklaces that pay homage to pigs and strawberries, Maison Margiela sneakers, and this bubbly, mouth-blown ashtray that looks like it belongs to Zeus. Unsurprisingly, the site's 75% off sale is filled with huge deals on all kinds of personality-forward food- and drink-related treasures. Everyone should own (at least) one chalice RIP E.B. White. You would have loved this strawberry- and pig-embellished necklace This set of whimsical dishes (for ice cream, snacks, and keys) Save 15% on Misen's colorful steak knives Beloved for its professional-grade cookware and kitchen tools, Misen is another brand that we're always keeping (literal) internet tabs on, because it frequently offers flash sales on its wares. Today's find: a set of color-blocking steak knives, which are 15% off with the code NEW15 Get 50% off your first month of Trade Coffee's cold brew subscription It's prime cold brew season, and Trade Coffee — which specializes in curating subscription coffee boxes with indie roasters from all over the United States — is offering 50% off its cold brew subscription service for the first month.

The farmstand graphics are going fast at Lisa Says Gah As Jess Mayhugh recently reported for Eater, there's finally a name for all those vine-ripe fruit and vegetable-themed fashions that have been brightening up the Union Square farmers market these days. Lisa Says Gah is home to all kinds of food-centric apparel that masters the trend, and some of its dreamiest, farmers market-worthy pieces are on sale — but hop to it fast, because these pieces usually sell out faster than ramps.

Little Victories
This week, I went to a party thrown by a New York City deli to celebrate a specific varietal of herring. I was keen to attend because the concept of a herring party seemed delightful — an occasion for revelry that I'd never considered. I was intrigued to learn that in the Netherlands, this particular herring is traditionally fished for only a few months, when the herring's body fat reaches at least 16 percent, for maximum flavor. The Dutch even have an annual festival, Flag Day, to honor the opening of herring season. I had never celebrated herring before, but, then again, I haven't celebrated most things. We tend to confine our parties to milestones (birthdays, holidays, housewarmings, weddings) and cultural events (the Oscars, the Super Bowl). Why must it be this way? Sure, if every day is a special occasion, then no day is, but it seems unnecessary to let the calendar totally dictate when we raise a glass or kick up our heels. Also, it's sort of boring to glorify the same things year after year, when there's so much else out there that's worthy. Once you begin considering all the micro-occasions deserving of a rager or at least an intimate soiree, you realize you've been letting so many opportunities for merrymaking just sail right by. A New Haircut Party sounds fun (you tried a new style, you look great) as does a My Back Pain Finally Went Away Party (has there ever been a more profound reason to exult?). New tattoo, old tattoo removal; the puppy spent a full night in the crate; no cavities — let's rejoice! Commemorating the completion of something you've been procrastinating on forever seems only sensible: Come over for cocktails, I dry-cleaned my wool coat. Someone alerted me to the existence of a Forcing Party, which is part celebration, part motivation — friends gather and force one another to do things they've been putting off, like renewing their passports or answering emails. Genius! A party can be productive as well as fun. There are those who hate parties, or who believe that the number of get-togethers that issue from the standard occasions are more than plenty. To them I say: Fine, but even thinking about the little things you might celebrate is a satisfying gratitude exercise. What are the good things that are going unacknowledged in your life? Where are you limiting or postponing delight unnecessarily? I recently told a friend that I could think of nothing more luxurious and blissfully absurd than a seafood tower. 'Well, your birthday just passed, but next year?' he said. Ha! As if I'm going to wait a year to have a seafood tower. Yes, it's expensive, but I did just make a doctor's appointment that I'd been putting off since February, and that seems ample reason to assemble a group of friends, order up a tower and celebrate.
