Drew Barrymore’s Interior Line is Everything I Long For in a Home

The prevailing aesthetic of just about every single public space I have entered since 2017 can be summed up in two words: “white and plants.”

Whether it’s a new café, boutique or restaurant, there seems to be an unwritten rule that no new boutique, restaurant or café may open unless they’ve agreed to adhere to a decorating scheme that involves bright eggshell-coloured walls and pothos and monstera plants as décor. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with white walls and plants, it does contribute to a certain globular, universal sameness that makes simply being alive and going through the motions feel a bit like déjà vu. Which is why I fell so hard for Drew Barrymore’s impending interior line, Flower Home.

From what I’ve seen, Flower Home — which will be available in Canada via the Walmart website in early June — is the antithesis of white and plants. Promotional photos of the line feature a dark indigo blue wall, vast swaths of printed wallpaper, and a sideboard cluttered up with books, a globe, oranges (?), and a kitschy lamp. It goes against everything that I as a millennial have been taught to assume is chic, and that is why I love it.

There’s so much going on that looking at it feels like a welcome respite from the sparse, clutterphobic aesthetic that has dominated the cultural conversation since Marie Kondo’s The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Upwas translated into English in 2014. It’s quirky in a way that is unapologetic, much like Barrymore herself.

While I’m not exactly a hoarder, I like living in a home where there are things to, you know, look at. The vision presented by Flower Home is a perfect balance between the current antiseptic aesthetic infused with the sense of joy that can be found in acquiring objects.

The fact that the line is being sold at Walmart only adds to its populist appeal; I can’t imagine Gwyneth Paltrow ever consenting to selling her triple-digit priced jade face rollers alongside jumbo bags of cat litter.

Drew Barrymore, hear my plea. Please start your own version of GOOP for people who love kitsch and don’t have millions of dollars to spend on aspirational objects. You have my money, I swear.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
