for the stylish, yet busy mum

Rumor has it that Adele may be moving forward into her next big endeavor—designing clothing. Allegedly, she's planning to launch a clothing line for “stylish and busy mums.” The mother of one and and carpool karaoke star gave birth back in 2012 to son Angelo and then went on a three-year hiatus before making a triumphant return with the release of 25 last year.

We don’t know much just yet, but a source told Now Magazine that the “Hello” singer has apparently been working on her own designs and that UK plus size retailer Evans is a potential stockist. The source told the publication, "It's still in the early stages, but she's been getting input from several designers and working on her own sketches. There will be a few signature pieces like her favorite winter apparel, the poncho, but mostly it'll be mix-and-match day wear in neutral tones.”

Is fashion designer next in the cards for Adele? We’ll have to wait and find out.

McDonald's Just Dragged Balenciaga's French Fry Carton-Like Shoes

I'm cackling

Last year, Balenciaga released bright red square-toed mules which bore a striking resemblance to McDonald's french fry cartons. Now, the chain has fired back at the designer, threatening to release its own version of the shoes.

McDonald's Sweden posted a photo to its Instagram of a person wearing actual McDonald's fry cartons as shoes, and honestly, if there weren't yellow M's printed onto them, I'd have a hard time distinguishing them from the Balenciagas from a distance. Though the post doesn't directly reference the Balenciaga shoes, one can only assume that's who they are trolling.

McDonald's version actually makes for some pretty fly slip-ons, if you ask me. Good thing the Swedish branch of Mickey D's seems to be considering releasing the shoes if the post receives enough attention. The caption of the Instagram post translates to, "If we get 103042 likes we release these for real," though it only has about 17,000 as of publish time. These would likely cost much less than the Balenciaga shoes, which cost $545.

Internet, do your thing. I want a pair.

There Is A New Song With Amy Winehouse On It And It's Haunting

It marks her third duet with Nas

Here are some words that I never expected to read or hear again: There is a new song with Amy Winehouse. But here we are in 2019, and Salaam Remi has granted me a wish. On Valentine's Day, the Grammy-nominated producer and frequent Winehouse collaborator (also responsible for hits like Miguel's "Come Through & Chill") released "Find My Love" which features rapper Nas and that powerful and haunting voice that I have come to love and cherish so dearly.

Representatives for Remi said that the Winehouse vocals were from an old jam session the two had. Remi was a producer on both of Winehouse's albums, Frank and Back to Black. "Find My Love" marks the third time Winehouse and Nas have done duets under the direction of Remi. They were previously heard together on "Like Smoke," a single from her 2011 posthumous album Amy Winehouse Lioness: Hidden Treasures, and "Cherry Wine" from Nas' 2012 album Life Is Good. Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning on July 23, 2011, before they could complete production on her third album. My heart is still broken about it as she is by far my favorite artist.

"Find My Love" is set to appear on Remi's Do It for the Culture 2, a collection of songs curated by him. Check it out, below.
