We’re always in pursuit of further refining our ensembles for every destination, whether it’s the airport or the office. And while we’ve done enough traveling to have a general idea of what works and what doesn’t at the airport—those lace-up sandals were awesome until we held up an impatient line of people trying to take them off—we figured there’s still a thing or two we can learn from a true expert. Enter Kimberly Pruitt, a former TSA agent who spent more than five years working as a security officer at Los Angeles International Airport. We sat down with Pruitt to learn the surprising items that always seem to cause an issue when going through security. After you read Pruitt’s tips, we guarantee you’ll rethink your next airport look… After all, no one wants to be the one holding up the security line, right?

Ever wonder what people are really adding to their virtual shopping carts? The RealReal is here to answer that question. WWD reported on the resale site's midyear 2017 report, and the statistics offer a glimpse at the most coveted brands around. For instance, sales for Self-Portrait have risen 636% since last year, according to The RealReal's data.

It doesn't hurt that the brand has tons of celebrity fans, including the Middleton sisters. Pippa just wore Self-Portrait to Wimbledon earlier this month, while Kate wore a pretty white version last year. Head over to WWD to find out about the other brands that are selling like crazy on the resale site too.

You probably already got the memo that Amazon shoppers love buying undergarments from the mega e-tailer, which comes as no surprise to us. The vast inventory and low prices are tough to beat. While perusing the site's Movers & Shakers page today, where Amazon displays its biggest gainers in sales rankings over the past 24 hours, we couldn't help but notice that the page, which is divided into categories and updated hourly, listed a $3 strapless bra which looked very familiar—the adhesive lace-up, push-up-style strapless bra has been trending on Instagram as of late.

We can't speak to the effectiveness of the reusable bra, originally introduced to the world by Sneaky Vaunt, but we can report that similar styles are currently all over Amazon, and shoppers are clearly convinced. With sales for this particular $3 version of this bra (the beige color) currently listed as having increased by over 5000% in the past 24 hours, plenty of shoppers are clearly willing to risk the mere $3 to give the viral backless and strapless bra a try (and so far it has only glowing reviews).

Shop it for yourself below, along with more strapless bras from Amazon!

What do you get when when you mix classic sneakers with summer sandals? Nike's Air Hurache Sneakers ($110) "changed the face of running footwear forever" when they launched back in 1991, but the 2017 version is totally unrecognizable. As Footwear News reports, the brand has reimagined the sneakers as hybrid sandals, and we're definitely intrigued. 

Shoe brands are no strangers to hybrids: We've seen "hootie" shoes, "sneakerdrilles," and other inventive twists, so there's no telling what labels will think of next. If you're interested in Nike's newest design, mark your calendars for the August 3 release date.

Even if you aren’t copying her every outfit head to toe, it’s almost hard not to resonate with some part of Gigi Hadid’s style. The model has an athletic yet elevated aesthetic, often making her ensembles seem effortless, cool, and polished—and the below examples are just a few of many.

The trick to Hadid’s style seems to rely on some tried-and-true styling tips. She’s a fan of monochrome, mixed proportions, and nude shoes that lengthen the leg, for instance. So even if her exact items are no longer available, there are plenty of ideas to execute using your own closet, as outlined in the photos ahead.

As one of Hadid’s latest looks proves, she also takes risks, this time in the form of Kreist (a label that is quickly becoming a favorite of hers) thigh-strap bell-bottom jeans. Her new stylist Mimi Cuttrell is clearly already encouraging Hadid to push the envelope even more—even when just going to pick up coffee—and we love it.

Take a look at Hadid’s latest noteworthy off-duty looks.

Whenever Kate Middleton isn’t in a pair of classic pumps, chances are high she might be sporting Superga sneakers. The duchess has worn her go-to sneakers on too many occasions to count, and she even shares her preference with the late Princess Diana. But would Middleton be drawn to the brand's latest collaboration with Luisa Via Roma? Well, that depends on how she feels about the ’90s.

The newest Superga styles not only look especially autumnal but also a bit retro. They are a part of LVR Editions, a collaboration project between the Italian concept store and e-commerce site Luisa Via Roma and major international brands such as Sergio Rossi and Dolce & Gabbana, and the new designs just arrived online. While the shoe’s velvet fabric already has a cool, slightly grungy vibe, what’s even more of a throwback are the sneakers' platform sole.

We can’t positively say we’ll soon see the Duchess in this version of her casual shoe of choice, but that’s no reason not to scoop up a pair for yourself. Scroll down to check out the Superga x LVR Editions’ styles in four perfect-for-fall colors.

While some brides opt to change into different dresses for their wedding receptions (á la Julianne Hough), with the right gown, all you need is a quick tweak to be dance floor ready. Victoria's Secret and Sports Illustrated model Vita Sidorkina certainly had the right idea this weekend.

She just got married at the Duomo di Ravello in Italy, and her wedding dress featured one smart twist: It converted into a form-fitting dress. After the ceremony, she removed the entire statement-making skirt, revealing a sleek lace dress underneath. (Fellow model Arizona Muse also tested out the convertible idea at her own wedding in London.)

Congratulations to Whitney Port, who is officially a mom for the first time! She and her husband Tim Rosenman have welcomed a new baby boy, and she shared the exciting news on her Instagram. "Sonny Sanford Rosenman was born on 7/27/17!!" she captioned the photo. "Everyone is so happy and healthy and we are home now." According to the Social Security Administration, the name was most popular in 2003.

As you probably already know, there's been something of a baby boom for The Hills stars lately: Lauren Conrad gave birth to a boy named Liam earlier this month, and Heidi Montag is also pregnant. Here's hoping the new moms will be up for another reunion soon—who can resist some 2000s nostalgia?

DETAILS: GINGHAM RUFFLED TOP (UNDER $100 – COMES IN 3 COLORS) | DENIM CUT-OFFS (ON SALE) | BLACK TASSEL EARRINGS (UNDER $100) | BLACK CROSSBODY | TORTOISE SUNGLASSES | VELVET SLIDES

Happy Monday! Cody and I went to Miami for a day and a half for a fun event with Shopstyle. It’s always fun when we have a second to ourselves (I always really miss the kids but loved having this one on one time with Cody). It was a super short trip but so fun! Shopstyle put on this really fun brunch the morning before the game and I wore this pretty gingham top. Between the ruffle detail, the one shoulder silhouette, and the gingham print it’s like a match made in heaven. It comes in 3 colors and is under $100! These shorts are super versatile too – I wore them to the game at night too. You can cuff them up or wear then down (on sale under $75).

I love getting to go on trips when I can see some of my blogger friends and also get to meet new girls! Everyone brought their S/O’s so it felt like a mini couple’s retreat. After the brunch we had a few minutes to swim and the water was the warmest I’ve ever felt it – it seriously felt like a bathtub! It was so fun having an instant group of friends to see the game with too. I can’t believe this was my first soccer game! My mom and  Cody are both huge soccer fans so it was exciting to go to the game. Wes’ favorite team is Real Madrid and Messi is his favorite player so that made it even more exciting. They also made us personalized jerseys which were so cute.

The energy at the game was insane! It was more than any other professional sports game that I’ve ever been to. People actually got upset if you stood up and were blocking their view. We had to wait until halftime to get a true picture because everyone behind you would get mad if you stood up to get a selfie. Such a high and amazing energy, I loved it!

We are back home for a quick second filming a secret project so follow on Insta stories for some sneak peeks!
