    Nepo Baby Boom

    On today's episode: Nepo Babies. After The Cut’s viral December 2022 article, ’She Has Her Mother’s Eyes. And Agent’, it seems the whole world was stunned to discover how rife nepotism is within the entertainment industry. So today, we are breaking it down for you with our ‘Nepo Baby Pyramid’ to help discuss the nuance that comes along with being a Nepo Baby. This week, Lexie recommends ‘Unforgotten’ on Binge and Charlotte recommends the latest episode of the Diary of a Ceo podcast, an interview with The Ordinary’s Nicola Kilner.

    Death, taxes and the celebrity beauty brand

    There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and celebrities starting their own beauty brands. What started as a few fragrances soon turned into a tsunami of celeb-backed beauty brands attacking us from every corner of Mecca, Sephora, and Priceline. But how did this happen and what brands are here for the long haul? This week, Lexie recommends taking a look at @thisislibertyroad and @goodbyecroptop for some over 40’s fashion inspo. Charlotte recommends ‘Ariana Madix is making a fortune from all this’ from the Cut. Want to hear more from us?

    May contain traces of Almond Mom

    On today's episode: body image, diet culture and the Almond Mum.  We dive into the concept of the Almond Mum, a new term that has emerged from Tiktok and inspired by Gigi and Bella Hadid’s mother Yolanda. The Almond Mom describes an old phenomenon: mothers projecting their unhealthy relationship with food, diet, exercise and body image onto their children, particularly their daughters.  This week, Lexie recommends 'The Medical Medium and the True Believer' in Vanity Fair as well as taking a look at Natalie Portman’s Dior dress at Cannes Film Festival (see our Insta) and Charlotte recommends Season 10 of Vanderpump Rules and the 'Scandoval' saga.

    To all the boy bands we've loved before

    Omg hiiii! Welcome to the first-ever episode of Smart Casual! On today's episode: Boy bands! Lexie educates us on the boys who loved a bit of tartan: the Bay City Rollers and Charlotte tries her best to explain to her mother everything One Direction related, from why Zayn left the band and what fan fiction is (send help). We reflect on the ridicule boy bands face due to their teenage-girl-dominated fan base and delve into the important role boy bands play in teen girls' development. This week, Lexie recommends Julia Louis Dreyfus' podcast 'Wiser than Me' and Charlotte recommends the Vanity Fair cover story 'Rupert Murdoch's Succession Drama'. Want to hear more from us?
