Lu’s rolling in fresh from Laneway and fully committed to rocking the head-to-toe merch, while the Super Bowl Half-Time Show just happened, and Bad Bunny’s performance was politically poetic and as it was powerful and oh-so ICONIC. Bella reveals the greatest Australian children’s picture book of all time (according to ~the people~), Lu has thoughts, and Bella realises she relates to the Green Sheep on a deeply spiritual level. We drop a shocking confession as we unpack Taylor Swift’s epic ’90s rom-com-coded new video, Opalite, and why it feels like a not-so-subtle olive branch in her ongoing rift with Blake Lively. We also make the case for “finding your fishing” in your Fifth Trimester and why having a hobby (yes, even if it’s just joining your local library) is elite self-care. And finally, our ins and outs for the week feature the ultimate manicure hack, bestie bling and how to nail the perfect Galentine’s Day.
