Following Kate Upton's momentous American Vogue cover debut, the magazine's Brazilian edition decided to give Gisele the month off for once and tapped Upton for July. In a white crop top, no less! Other observations:
Despite our constant exposure to every beauty product under the sun, the PEOPLE beauty team’s self-tanning experience ranges from “super-newbie” to “could self tan evenly in my sleep” — and we decided it was time to even the playing field. Six of us took home different self-tanners to test-drive, and reported back on three factors: the ease of use, the smell (on a scale of icky signature self-tanner smell to so-amazing-we’d-use-it-as-perfume) and how long it lasted.

To me, the '80s were about neutrals, black laminate furnishings and mirrors. The lingering scent of Aqua Net. Faux leather. Pointless wallpaper borders. It was a time when there was no such thing as "bad taste." It was a time of dried floral arrangements and the fake English manor look. It was the time of "Dynasty."
Today, the words great design brilliantly light the marquee of contemporary life. What is great design? It's a perennial question with no single answer.
Everywhere we turn, we're charmed by the next new design that promises to improve our lives, whether it be a cool running shoe, an energy efficient house or the millions of apps that promise to lighten daily chores. This is all good, but how do we distinguish between good design and great design in the midst of all this "awesomeness?"
