IKEA Has a New App You Should Download Before You Redecorate Your Home

The end of the summer is always a weird time. Not only are you rushing to accomplish all those fun summer bucket list activities with friends, but you’re also trying to cross off that to-do list that you’ve been putting off since the beginning of the season. (Sorry, dirty laundry!) This week, our five favorite apps are a combination of tools to help you cook better meals, redecorate your home and even make fun Snapchat filters for your end-of-summer bash. Now get out there and cross everything off your list!

1. IKEA Catalog: If you measure time passing not in months but in IKEA catalogs, you need to download their new app right now. Not only can you browse through the entire catalog from your phone, but, using AR, you can see how all of the items will look in your home. The future is here and it is very well-decorated.

DL It: Free on iOS and Android

2. Embark: If you’re traveling at all in the future — or even if you just live in a city — do yourself a favor and download this new travel app now. It works for 160 different public transportation systems around the world (seriously!) and will tell you not only how to get where you’re going, but how much carbon each form of transportation will emit.

DL It: Free on iOS and Android

3. Lisn: Harken back to the days of yore when you would split a pair of Walkman headphones with your friend (or, gasp, crush!) and listen to music together on the bus. This new app will let you and a mate listen to the exact same song at the exact same time, even when you’re far away. We think it’s absolutely perfect for long distance friends or baes who run on music.

DL It: Free on iOS

4. Forkit: After a long day at work, it’s hard to work up enough enthusiasm to cook yourself a healthy and delicious dinner. This app aims to turn cooking into a game that will motivate you into becoming a more creative chef. (And challenge your friends to see who can come up with the best meals!) Everything’s a little more fun with some competition.

DL It: Free on iOS

5. Confetti: If you’re in the DIY spirit this weekend, you can concoct your own Snapchat filter with Confetti. It’s a perfect touch for weddings, birthday parties or any event that calls for something with a little digital pizzazz. Or you can just make one for your home and insist that all your friends use it every time they come over. Your call.

DL It: Free on iOS

The Barbie movie premiered on July 21, 2023 and as self-proclaimed movie fanatics and lovers of all things pink, we absolutely loved it. As predicted, Barbie was the movie of the summer, if not the movie of the year. From the Barbie World Tour to Ryan Gosling's "I'm Just Ken" EP to the Barbie The Movie: In Concert, it always feels like summer! Here's the latest news on Margot Robbie's Barbie movie.

Did Barbie win an Oscar?

Barbie won one award at the 2024 Oscars: Best Original Song for Billie Eilish and Finneas' "What Was I Made For?" The film was nominated for six other awards (namely Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Ryan Gosling, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Song for Ryan Gosling and Mark Ronson's "I'm Just Ken," Best Production Design, and Best Costume Design).

Even though the movie didn't win big, the stars absolutely did because they looked *amazing* on the red carpet! Margot Robbie wore a black number to the awards show, but the real stunner was the 1996 gold Mugler bodysuit she wore to the Vanity Fair after-party. This was a super exciting look because for Barbie's entire press run, Margot has only worn either black or pink. Gold feels like the perfect way to send off the biggest movie of the year!

What is Barbie the movie in concert?

Barbie The Movie: In Concert will give Barbie fans the chance to relive their favorite movie moments — but this time with a live orchestra. Starting July 2, the film-to-concert will be coming to 37 cities and will feature Macy Schmidt’s orchestra (which is all-women and majority women-of-color!). If you've never been to a movie concert, let me tell you it is *magical.* You'll be able to watch the movie on a large LED screen while The Barbie Land Sinfonietta plays the compelling and emotional (not to mention already iconic) score on the stage below.

Margot Robbie's Newest Barbiecore Look

Margot Robbie brought a new creativity and boldness to Barbiecore with her 2024 SAG Awards dress. The Schiaparelli couture LBD features a swooping, statement pink shoulder accent and train that gives the edge of the black a whimsical touch. Margot's style continues to blow our minds!

What awards is Barbie up for?

Barbie is up for a few Grammys and Oscars (which you can read about below), and on November 27, Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig attended the Gotham Awards in New York City. Margot wore another Barbie-inspired outfit with a black ensemble inspired by 1964's Black Magic Barbie, and my first question is where *I* can get a cape like this!

At the awards show, Greta won an Icon & Creator Tribute, while Ryan Gosling was nominated for Supporting Performance.

What Are The Names Of The Tracks And How Can We Stream Ken: The EP?

Per Variety, Ryan Gosling and Mark Ronson, producer of Barbie: The Album, read our minds by making sure we continue getting a healthy dose of "I'm Just Ken." Here's the track lineup for the EP:

  1. "I'm Just Ken - Merry Kristmas Barbie"
  2. "I'm Just Ken - In My Feelings Acoustic"
  3. "I'm Just Ken - Purple Disco Machine Remix"
  4. "I'm Just Ken"

When Does The Barbie Movie Come Out?

The film premiered in theaters on July 21, 2023 (we were the ones dressed in all pink). And now, we can finally stream the film on Max!

Who's on Barbie: The Album?

Image via Atlantic Recording Corporation/Warner Bros.

Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice's "Barbie World" featuring Aqua (the OG singer) is one of the songs on Barbie the Album that we can't get enough of. Two queens coming together to support the new movie's iconic soundtrack is the *best* way we could've imagined spending the summer.

Pop icon Dua Lipa is also bringing her talents to the film's soundtrack in addition to acting in the movie. In a teaser video she posted, we got a brief cameo of Dua stepping out of her pink heels, Barbie-style, as well as a close-up shot of her blowing a kiss to the camera, already starting the buzz. We love the *totally* disco vibe from her track. Although she revealed on The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon that her hit song "Dance The Night Away" almost didn't make it on the soundtrack. At least, not the version we know.

"It's all about Barbie's [best] day ever, and then she starts having an existential crisis and she starts thinking about death," Dua Lipa tells Jimmy. "It's like 'Okay, how do we create a song that encapsulates a really fun disco party but at the same time has these underlying, shaky feelings?'"

Dua Lipa and her collaborator Mark Ronson started leaning into those shaky feelings and that turmoil, but realized it didn't fit the scene the way they intended. They ended up writing "Dance The Night Away" like a score, basing some of the lyrics off the movements of the actors and creating a song that meshed well with the story the cast was already telling. "It was unlike anything I'd done before!" Dua says.

The rest of the lineup for Barbie The Album(available to buy on vinyl, CD, and even cassette tape)was announced on May 25 and includes names like Lizzo, Nicki Minaj, Ice Spice, and *even* Ryan Gosling! Here's the artists involved:

  • Ava Max
  • Charli XCX
  • Dominic Fike
  • Dua Lipa
  • FIFTY FIFTY
  • GAYLE
  • HAIM
  • Ice Spice
  • Kali
  • KAROL G
  • Khalid
  • Lizzo
  • Nicki Minaj
  • Pink Pantheress
  • Ryan Gosling
  • Tame Impala
  • The Kid LAROI
  • Billie Eilish

What songs from Barbie got a 2024 Grammy nomination?

Barbie received an incredible number of Grammy nominations this year. "Dance the Night" by Dua Lipa and "What Was I Made For?" were both nominated for Song of the Year, and "What Was I Made For?" was also nominated for Record of the Year. Ryan Gosling's "I'm Just Ken" is nominated for Best Song Written for Visual Media, and "Barbie World" by Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice Featuring Aqua is nominated for Best Rap Song. "Barbie" has also been nominated for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media (Includes Film and Televison)!

Who wrote the song What Was I Made For?

Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas O'Connell wrote "What Was I Made For?" for the Barbie soundtrack. Director Greta Gerwig told the duo, viaThe LA Times, that she wanted "Barbie’s heart song — the song that is deep inside her core that she doesn’t even completely know is there but that she starts to hear more clearly throughout the film.”

The song became my personal favorite on Barbie the Album, and spawned a viral TikTok trend celebrating the beautiful, messy parts of womanhood. “It was so moving, dude. It was so, so touching,” Billie tells Variety about the trend. “I feel like I helped bring people together, and it felt so special. I wasn’t expecting to have women around the world feel connected.”

We're obsessed with the seafoam + pale pink pairing here. Everything about this look screams sophistication, and we hope Margot's neckline never goes out of style (it's our current fave).

When is Barbie coming to IMAX?

The Barbie movie came back to theaters for one week starting September 22. But there's more! Not only did we get to see the entirety of the film (including that one detail in the Barbie ending we totally missed the first time) but there was also brand new post-credit footage that Greta Gerwig handpicked herself!

“We made Barbie for the big screen, so it’s a thrill to be able to bring it to IMAX, the biggest screen of all,” Gerwig says in a statement. “As a special thanks to Barbie fans, we’re excited to share a little bit more of our cast and crew’s incredible work by adding special new footage we hope audiences will enjoy.”

First Look Images From The Film

Barbie costume designer Jacqueline Durran talked to British Vogue about her work on the film, as well as the fact they only had 11 weeks (!!) to make all of the costumes.

“Barbie is a very useful way to look at different ideas of femininity: what that means, who owns it, and who it’s aimed at,” Durran says in the interview. Some of Margot Robbie's looks are sassy (like her cowgirl outfit) and some are sweet (like her gingham dress), but all of them play a larger role in the film.

"One aspect of the film is self-discovery," Durran continues. "We were able to choose elements of Barbie fashion that were appropriate for those scenes that also gave a subtle nod to her internal journey.”

After realizing that her dream life isn't quite as dreamy as she thought, Barbie sets off — roller blades and Ken in tow — to learn "the truth about the universe."

We've loved America Ferrera since The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and we're over the moon to see her in the Barbie movie! Plus Helen Mirren, Will Ferrell, and Ariana Greenblatt?! Whew. What a cast list.

The first thing we're thinking after watching this trailer is how much the actors really do look like Barbie dolls! The costuming might just become one of our favorite things about the film (not to mention the iconic opening sequence à la 2001: A Space Odyssey).

What Is The Barbie Movie About?

A lot of previous Barbie movies place the iconic doll in fairy tales or navigating high school, but the Greta Gerwig film (which premiered July 21, 2023) takes a whole new approach. The plot focuses on Margot Robbie's Barbie, who gets expelled from Barbieland and goes off to explore the real world.

Who's Composing The Score For The Barbie Movie?

What's The Big Deal About This Barbie Movie?

MARGOT ROBBIE as Barbie in Warner Bros. Pictures’ “BARBIE,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release.

In a 2021 interview with British Vogue, Robbie says that while playing Barbie comes with both baggage and nostalgia, "people generally hear ‘Barbie’ and think, ‘I know what that movie is going to be,’ and then they hear that Greta Gerwig is writing and directing it, and they’re like, ‘Oh, well, maybe I don’t...’”

Finding a way to balance adulthood with finding comfort in the things from our childhood (a champagne brunch at the American Girl store anyone?), there's something to be said for getting in touch with your inner child.

In a July interview with Ebony, Issa Rae (who plays President Barbie in the film) talks about the impact that the dolls had on her childhood.

“It was another step on the ladder of my journey with my racial identity, just because I saw how passionate my parents were about me playing with Black Barbies, though I didn’t know it was that serious,” she says. “I was just there trying to make scenes with my Barbies. And I think in some ways, that was my first foray into storytelling and directing.”

I am a very prepared person, which means I do my best to handle life's unexpected chaos with grace. A recent curveball that I did not prepare for was my phone dying in the middle of New York City. When you live in Manhattan, there's always a show to see, friends to grab margaritas with, and events to attend. That means you lose phone battery pretty quickly, which is exactly the one thing you don't want to go without in the middle of the city.

Ahead of my show at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, I was #influenced to buy this viral gadget to bring into the stadium with me — and it's the best portable phone charger I've ever used. I can't believe I've gone this long without it!

First Impressions

I grabbed the iWALK Small Portable Charger(which I got for $30), and the first thing I noticed was the size. The whole thing is smaller than my iPhone, meaning that it'll fit in just about any size bag and works with a lot of stadium concert rules!

It comes in multiple colors like pink and teal, but I got it in white.

The Timeline

I left for the concert at 2pm with a fully charged phone. I had to use Spotify, Google Maps, Uber, and my camera all before Taylor even came out, which means that by the time Gracie Abrams and Phoebe Bridgers had finished their opening acts (around 8 pm), my phone was on death's door.

The portable phone charger went right into the port and kept my phone alive for the rest of the night! It also didn't interfere with the audio in any of my recordings, which was super important to me.

Final Thoughts On This Portable Phone Charger

Image via Chloe Williams/B+C

This product really surpassed my expectations because of how much power you get from such a small device. I've used it multiple times, and every time I do, my phone ends up fully charged, meaning I have enough battery for another round of adventures and antics.

I'll definitely have it in my bag all summer long. You can search on the internet for some other portable phone chargers for your summer, but this is definitely my favorite.

The 2024 Oscars were filled with memorable moments from start to finish. From John Cena announcing the award for Best Costume Design while completely nude and the Godzilla Minus One filmmakers accepting their golden statues for Best Visual Effects with their Godzilla toys to Emma Stone giving a tearful, gracious speech when she won Best Actress in a Leading Role. While the acceptance speech itself was amazing, the best part was the fact that Emma received the award from BFF Jennifer Lawrence! Here's everything you need to know about Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence's friendship.

February 12, 2016 — Jennifer Lawrence And Emma Stone Attend Adele's Concert

Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence saw each other again at Adele's concert at the Wiltern in LA, but Jennifer went on to admit it's not a night she really wants to remember. “I don’t really stay out late. I’m kind of a bummer," Jennifer tells Harper's Bazaar. "When I do go out I don’t really stay out late. If I do stay out late and I’m partying hard, I will throw up...I don’t have the tolerance to black out; I just start puking.”

“Ask Emma Stone,” she continues. “It was the night we saw Adele in L.A. She just started rubbing my back. She was really sweet. I was like, ‘Get out of here. It’s so gross.'”

September 11, 2017 — Jennifer Lawrence And Emma Stone Share An Awkward Hug

At the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival, Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence did what happens to all of us at one time or another: they shared a very awkward (and unfortunately public) hug, via Variety's Instagram. While, at first glance, it looks like Emma's trying to back out of the hug, it also looks like they were mid-conversation, or even doing a bit. Either way, the besties brush it off with a laugh, the way all friends do!

If you're someone who, like me, has a few go-to comfort YouTube videos, then you *have* to add this one to the list. Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence are even more hilarious together than they are apart, and their chemistry together is so good, I want to see them do a best friends comedy!

"Do you understand that spending time with us is just us sitting and screaming at each other?" Emma says in the interview.

"Oh my god," Jennifer says. "I can't imagine what it must be like for other people. We should never hang out, only with each other."

Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris caused quite a stir at Elton John's Oscars afterparty, but for good reason! After dodging dating rumors for quite awhile, they dressed to impress and made their first public debut as a couple! Sophia even wore her best accessory — a mega-watt smile — that further confirms this blissful pair.

Sophia and Ashlyn haven't had a "typical" trajectory for their relationship, and the details have people wondering when this couple actually got together. Since we're clearly tuned in to this love story, here's everything you need to know about Sophia Bush and Ashlyn Harris's relationship!
