Undies ,
Uncensored
As someone who routinely cuts the bows off her lingerie — seriously , why are there always bows ?— I was stoked to discover Negative , a brand for girls who don ’ t do girly . And starting this month , you can buy a set of undies with your own embroidered phrases ($ 85 –$ 100 for two , negativeunderwear . com ). Think of the possibilities : Bachelorette party gift ? Try “ Ride It / My Pony .” Best friend ’ s b-day ? “ Shine On / You Crazy Diamond .” Breakup ? “ New Phone / Who Dis ?” They ’ re like cheeky inside jokes … with myself . — Alanna Greco , editorial assistant

Taking Notes From
Diana Gordon
“ Before the Beyoncé thing , I hadn ’ t had something good happen to me in a while ,” says singer-songwriter Diana Gordon . The “ Beyoncé thing ” she ’ s referring to : three writing credits on the icon ’ s Lemonade , including one for “ Sorry ,” which launched a nationwide witch hunt for “ Becky with the good hair .” Now Gordon , who previously performed under the name Wynter Gordon , is putting the final touches on a “ rebirth ” album , due out this spring . And if recent tracks are any indication — “ One hand on the pussy and the other on a Harley ,” she spits on “ Woman ”— she ’ ll be totally capturing the zeitgeist . But where does she even get her material ? “ It comes up from the youth . It ’ s like , what ’ s their language ?” she says . “ A lot of the best writers say things people say already . It ’ s just not proper English .” TFW someone finally gets me . — Justine Harman , senior editor
The All-Grown-Up
Anklet
The second I spotted a pair of mismatched Mary Janes on Instagram , I emailed my most fashionable friend , Danielle : “ What are these shoes with ankle cuffs ?” She wrote back immediately : “ They ’ re not with the shoes exactly . These girls run their own brand , Attico . So they ’ re , like , ankle bracelets .” The “ girls ” are Italian street-style stars Giorgia Tordini and Gilda Ambrosio , and starting in January , their silk-and-satin creations will be my very own ankle chokers ($ 205 –$ 330 per pair , my theresa . com ). Worst-case scenario : People think I ’ m under house arrest . Well , then , how ’ d I get into this sexy club , hmm ? — J . H .
