If this isn’t the best MILF look you’ve seen, then I want you to email me whatever it is that you think is better. ‘Cause this rocks. The alluringly practical silhouette is as French as its creator, Agnes b., and the baroque surfer-skater print is as whimsically cool as its creator, artist Ryan McGinness.

You know you’re powerful when you can tear the gorgeously manicured fingernails off the hand that feeds you. In her Editor’s Letter this month, Allure’s Linda Wells rips the beauty industry a new one for excessive packaging. But instead of making the waste an environmental issue, she smartly employs an argument far more potent to an industry whose existence relies on vanity: It’s passe.
