Martha Stewart Is The Latest "SI Swimsuit" Model, And TBH We’re Totally Here For It

You read that right. The media mogul/millennial matriarch/chef/author/BFF-to-Snoop-Dogg made history as the oldest Sports Illustrated Swimsuitmodel, joining the likes of Emily DiDonato, Kim Kardashian, Ciara, and more.

Martha Stewart, 81, joins fellow cover models Megan Fox, Kim Petras, and Brooks Nader for the publication’s 2023 swimwear edition. The annual SI Swimsuit edition is a notoriously difficult publication to secure a placement in, as a photo in the annual edition is a near-guarantee for success, cementing your legitimacy in the modeling industry.

Though Stewart is not widely-known for her modeling career, she’s a pop culture phenomenon, still working as a chef and a TV personality and partnering with rapper Snoop Dogg in a variety of projects. Stewart rose to fame in the 1980s wither her cookbooks, eventually creating her own media company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia — which is still in operation today and encompasses her magazine, Martha Stewart Living, Roku TV shows, podcast, and more.

Deemed “the ‘OG of influencers,'" people (us included!) still look to Stewart for home advice and all the deets on must-have recipes, DIY projects and hosting tips. After all, this woman basically raised an entire generation of now-adults through her TV shows, Martha Stewart Living and The Martha Stewart Show.

We don’t know about you, but we remember Stewart on our TV screens every weekend as kids, and think it’s fabulous that she’s still crushing it in her eighties.

Swimwear style is making waves recently, pushing the limits beyond a traditional one piece or bikini set. Today, boyshort-style bottoms or even bikini tops with sleeves are becoming more common! As we all know, fashion trends tend to come back around every few years, and I would like to draw your attention to our old friend, the tankini.

These 10 tankinis are perfect for providing your poolside look with more coverage, but also lend a very trendy vibe. Scroll on to shop my favorite pieces!

Blue Rod Beattie

Trina Turk

I am so drawn to this $128 off-the-shoulder tankini. The ruffles add a fun vibe, even if this top is just black and white. It's also perfect if you're looking for more chest coverage from a swimsuit. You don't even need a cover-up – just throw on a pair of linen pants, and you have yourself a complete summer outfit.

The #1 fall outerwear piece I've seen buzzing around fashion weeks, social media, and everyone's favorite influencers is the chore jacket — also known as the "barn" jacket. These stylish jackets not only pair really well with your typical jeans and boots combo, but also I loooove when they're styled with midi skirts and flats — you look takes on an amazing juxtaposition between masculine and feminine that just seems so chic!

After spending far too much time scrolling the internet to find the perfect chore jacket for myself, I rounded up 12 that fit the bill in different patterns, fabrics, and price-ranges, so there's something for everyone. Let's get into it!

What is a chore coat?

Dôen

Chore coats date back to the late 19th century where they first appeared in France, originally meant to be work coats that were able to withstand a lot of physical labor and work! So, durability and practicality was super important! That means lots of pockets for tools, and very thick fabric to endure the long work days.

Funnily enough, the name "chore jacket" actually just means for your household chores, so the definition itself is fairly straight forward. You would, simply, do your household chores around your house and land, while wearing the conveniently designed jacket — it's that simple!

If you're wondering what defines a modern chore coat then it would be: large pockets, thick fabric, corduroy collar, and a loose-fit to sit comfortably on the body.

Everlane

Everlane Barn Jacket

The Everlane Barn Jacket the quintessential chore jacket, and I love it paired with the matching khaki pants and suede bag. This one isn't too expensive, and it's still extremely high quality. The suede detailing on is a great touch as well! Grab this one if you're looking for a simple, good quality chore jacket!

J.Crew

J.Crew Denim Barn Jacket

This J.Crew barn jacket is the perfect shade of denim that I'm obsessing over this fall. J.Crew continues to killit lately, so you can't go wrong with any of their options! This denim chore jacket would look great paired with a Canadian tuxedo like above, or even a black midi dress.

Gap

Gap Chore Jacket

Gap has so many good, affordable options available right now, and this chore jacket is no different! For only $60, you can have your new staple, fall jacket! Plus, it's an extra 20% off at the moment, so definitely add it to cart while it's still in stock.

Dôen

Dôen Pascual Jacket

This jacket from Dôen is all I can think about lately — it's simply perfection. While it's currently sold out, they'll restock it soon. Definitely keep an eye out so you can grab this one right away! It would look great overtop any of the fall dresses from Dôen we're currently obsessed with!

J.Crew

J.Crew Short Barn Jacket

I love this cropped chore jacket for the perfect light layer — it's just right for those days that have a light, fall breeze. The cut and shape of this option is super flattering, and I can just picture it with a skirt and sweater on a Sunday afternoon stroll. I definitely plan on hitting "purchase" for this one, and wearing it daily! It's a fave of mine.

Anthropologie

The Heritage Barn Jacket

The relaxed fit of this cotton chore jacket is really calling to me, especially with the above tomboy styling. The floral skirt, and baseball cap help to really pull the whole look together. This one also has the traditional corduroy collar as well as corduroy cuffs on the sleeves, which is such a nice touch!

Mango

Mango Checkered Parka

If you're looking for something that makes more of a statement, then look no further than this adorable option from Mango! It has a corduroy collar, checkered pattern, and gold button detailing that looks SO high end. Throw on some chunky boots or loafers with this statement chore jacket and you're good to go!

Eileen Fisher

Eileen Fisher Organic Corduroy Jacket

Corduroy and suede are two fabrics I absolutely love for the fall and winter this year. They add a lot of texture to your outfit which can help give a more simple look some flair. This chore jacket from Eileen Fisher will be a staple for years and years to come, because of how high quality and classic it is. A 10/10 for me!

J.Crew

J.Crew Short Barn Jacket Brown

Another cute, cropped barn jacket, but in this gorgeous shade of mocha brown! This above outfit is the perfect example of how to style a chore jacket, too. Jeans, white tee, gold jewelry, and some brown, suede boots! You'll have the epitome of the perfect, fall outfit!

Quince

Quince Denim Chore Jacket

Another denim option, because I just can't get enough! This chore jacket comes in a much lighter shade of denim, which will help to pair with some of your summer pieces that you want to fold into your fall wardrobe. Quince has some amazing pieces that I've loved in the past, so I can't wait to try this one!

Mango

Mango Pocket Parka

You could honestly get your entire autumnal wardrobe at Mango because the fabulous pieces are truly endless! They do an amazing job at combining timeless classics with current trending pieces — and this parka is one of them! It gives off the vibe of a chore jacket, but in a slightly more casual form of parka!

Levi's

Levi's White Chore Jacket

As you may know, I'm a huge advocate for white in the winter and fall, specifically creams! This all-white chore jacket from Levi's is currently on sale, so you should grab it while you can! I would say style it with an all-white look like a cream skirt and flats!

Girls, get ready for what's shaping up to be a great year with news of the most-anticipated new music for 2024! We've been living in a weird time warp the past couple of years, but we're finally about to be blessed with spring movies and new album releases that are going to single-handedly save pop culture — and... country music?! From Beyoncé to Vampire Weekend, our roundup includes genres that everyone can happily move their feet to. Here's all the new music we're looking forward to this year!

Here's The Most-Anticipated New Music For 2024

Beyoncé + Renaissance: Act II, Cowboy Carter (March 29)

Not only did the Chiefs win the Super Bowl, but Beyoncé managed to break the internet by sharing that she has new music on the way via her Verizon commercial. Although fans knew she was going to release a follow-up to Renaissance, Beyoncé was tight-lipped about when it could be expected. However, the wait is over!

While Renaissance paid homage to house music and the culture that made it popular, the second act, titled "Cowboy Carter," is going to be a huge nod to country. She's already released two singles — "16 CARRIAGES" and "TEXAS HOLD 'EM" — that are triggering excitementon social media. Many, including us, are ready to "yeehaw" our way into spring with our cowgirl boots and hats.

Bey shared more about her challenges making Renaissance: Act II in an Instagram post detailing how isolating it is, as a Black woman, to be welcomed in the country music genre.

"The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me," the caption reads. "Act ii is a result of challenging myself, and taking my time to bend and blend genres together to create this body of work."

She also revealed that there'll be s"a few surprises" on the album, as she's collaborated with "brilliant artists who I deeply respect." We can only hope that means there's a Taylor Swift feature on there! 😉

Taylor Swift + The Tortured Poets Department (April 19)

It's almost time to for love and poetry to also help set the tone for spring with the upcoming release of The Tortured Poets Department— AKA TS11! While we can't get enough of her relationship with Travis Kelce, the Swifties need more lyrics to quote in our captions. While she hasn't released a single from it yet, Taylor did share the official track list for it and our hearts are already filled with emotion at the titles.

Side A

  • Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)
  • The Tortured Poets Department
  • My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys
  • Down Bad
Side B
  • So Long, London
  • But Daddy I Love Him

USHER, Pheelz - Ruin (Official Music Video)

Usher + Coming Home (Released February 9)

Who's here after Usher's magnetic halftime show at the Super Bowl? Our knees are still trying to recover from dancing along to the top hits he performed last night, but that's okay! For those of us who felt like the time went by too quick because we were having a lot of fun, Brit + Co is happy to share you can keep the party going by listening to Usher's new studio album Coming Home.

Listen to his new single "Ruin" for a taste of what your can expect to hear with his new music.

SLUT POP MIAMI CENSORED ADVERT “CAN WE F***?”

Kim Petras + Slut Pop Miami (February 14)

Kim Petras isn't known for biting her tongue and is releasing something that lovers of smut books will enjoy hearing in the form of Slut Pop Miami. Based on the teaser of "Can We F***," we think early 2000s summer melodies mixed with suggestive lyrics are going to be the basis of this album. Seriously, get into the track list:

  1. Slut Pop Reprise
  2. Gag On It
  3. Fuckin' This, Fuckin' That
  4. Banana Boat
  5. Get Fucked
  6. Rim Job
  7. Cock Blocker
  8. Butt Slutt
  9. Head Head Honcho
  10. Cubana
  11. Whale Cock
  12. Can We Fuck?

Jennifer Lopez - Can't Get Enough (feat. Latto) [Official Music Video]

Jennifer Lopez + This Is Me...Now (February 16)

We're a just a few days away from the debut of This Is Me...Now, and we can't wait to hear how much Jennifer Lopez has grown since her last album. It's meant to be a musical journey that explores her experiences since the release of This Is Me...Then, and even includes an updated love ballad to her husband Ben Affleck.

Faye Webster - Feeling Good Today (Official Video)

Faye Webster + Undressed at the Symphony (March 1)

Faye Webster wants us to start acknowledging life's simple pleasures with her new music. Similar to the TikTok sound that features the enchanting, "I think I like this little life," Webster's single "Feeling Good Today" reminds viewers that today's pleasures are all that matter. We imagine the entirety of Undressed at the Symphony will follow suit.

www.youtube.com

Tyla - Truth or Dare (Official Music Video)

Tyla + Tyla (March 1)

Tyla's single "Water" had us whining our waists with its melodic beat and her sweet vocals so it was only a matter of time before she shared the date of her new album. Her conversation with Harper's Bazaar highlights what listeners can expect from Tyla. She said, "Where I am from is everything...South Africa is literally me as an artist. I am bringing it wherever I go.”

Ariana Grande - yes, and? (official music video)

Ariana Grande + Eternal Sunshine (March 8)

It's been a few years since Ariana Grande released a new album, but she's coming back full force after announcing a release date for Eternal Sunshine. This will be her seventh album and — if you believe in numerology — it's alleged that the number seven symbolizes the completion of a cycle. This means we can probably expect this album to be full of new energy that'll serve as the soundtrack for our own lives — at least that's how we felt after listening to Ariana's single "yes, and?"
P.S. If you're feeling totally hyped for this, you're not alone — Billie Eilish even expressed her anticipation of Eternal Sunshine while talking to CBS News last week!

Kacey Musgraves - Deeper Well (Official Music Video)

Kacey Musgraves + Deeper Well (March 15)

Clearly, it's time for a little country to dominate the charts. As reported by Pitchfork, Kacey Musgraves described her new album Deeper Well as being something where "you get blown off course, but eventually find your footing and forage for new inspiration, new insight, and deeper love somewhere else." Given how tough life can feel at times, Deeper Well is appropriately titled.

Justin Timberlake - Selfish (Official Video)

Justin Timberlake + Everything I Thought It Was (March 15)

Say whatever you want, but Justin Timberlake is ready to explain himself with his new album Everything I Thought It Was.

www.youtube.com

Only God Was Above Us (Album Trailer)

Vampire Weekend + Only God Was Above Us (April 5)

Vampire Weekend's last LP Father of the Bride was came out in 2019, so it's safe to say that they've been thoroughly missed. What's cool is that Pitchfork shared Ezra Koenig "wrote most of the lyrics for Only God Was Above Us in 2019 and 2020. With two singles – "Capricorn" and "Gen-X Cops" — releasing in a couple of days, we're positive they're going to solidify why this is one of our most-anticipated albums of 2024.

www.youtube.com

Sia and Kylie Minogue - Dance Alone (Lyric Video)

Sia + Reasonable Woman (May 3)

Sia's pen game is noteworthy as she's given us hits like "Chandelier " and "Unstoppable" over the years. Now she's back with a new album called Reasonable Woman. Her single "Dance Alone" features one of the queens of dance music, Kylie Minogue, and helps us have a better understanding of the album's energy.

Forbes also shared that listeners will be able to hear collabs with Chaka Khan and Paris Hilton. It's not like we needed another reason, but this cements Reasonable Woman as being one of the most-anticipated albums of the year.

www.youtube.com

Lana Del Rey - Take Me Home, Country Roads (Official Audio)

Lana Del Ray + Lasso (September 2024)

We can't be the only ones who still play "Summertime Sadness" like it's was just released yesterday, right? Luckily, we'll have more music to add to our Spotify playlists once she finally releases Lasso to the public. The musical direction of this album has country roots and is the result of working with producer Jack Antonoff, as reported byBillboard.

Most-Anticipated New Music Without Release Dates Yet

www.instagram.com

SZA + Lana (Unknown Release Date)

After winning the Best Progressive R&B Album for SOS at the 2024 Grammys, fans have been wondering when SZA will release new music. Despite not having an official release date, SZA actually teased that an album's already been in the works with a series of alleged album covers on Instagram. Variety shared that Lana was meant to be a deluxe version of SOS by adding "7 to 10 songs to the original album," but that plan changed. Instead, SZA told the outlet that Lana is "...definitely turning into its own album." Yay!

www.instagram.com

Lady Gaga (New Music TBD)

Lady Gaga is back in the studio, so we definitely think a new album could be in the works! While her caption on Instagram is incredibly cryptic, we can't help but hope that we're going to get a glimpse of Gaga in her "Bad Romance" era. Plus, fans think there may be a "Telephone" reunion with Beyoncé, based on some of Bey's recent visuals...we can only hope!

Dua Lipa on Her Very Detailed Daily Schedule, Notebook of Song Lyrics, New Album & Albanian Sayings

Dua Lipa (New Music TBD)

Dua Lipa knows there's no such thing as writing too many songs when you're an artist, and said as much during her Jimmy Kimmel Live! appearance a few days ago. She told the Kimmel that she physically "wrote 97 songs" for her upcoming album that's been in the works for a while. However, this doesn't mean all of them will make the cut for the album's final track list.

Stay tuned for more updates!

www.instagram.com

Camila Cabello (New Music TBD)

It's been a long two years since Cabello's release of Familia, but we've been patiently waiting for her to share a new music update. The singer recently wiped her Instagram clean aside one reel and three images, and we have a feeling that this is strategic. Is she going full Taylor-Swift-Reputation-Mode? Only time will tell!

Which most-anticipated albums are you looking forward to playing non-stop this year? Let us know and follow the convo on Facebook!

When I finished the first season of The Last Thing He Told Me, I was convinced we'd seen the end of Bailey and Hannah's story (especially considering the show was originally a limited series). But it looks like Apple TV+ and Reese Witherspoon had other plans. Thanks to author Laura Dave publishing a sequel in 2025, The Last Thing He Told Me season 2 is officially coming! Here's everything we know about the new season (and some more easy books to read while you wait).

What has the cast & crew said about season 2?

Apple TV+

During an interview with The Today Show, author Laura Dave revealed The Last Thing He Told Me season 2 will actually start filming before the second book is published! ""We're starting to shoot in few weeks, which is just wild. I can't believe we're here again," she says. "I sat down with everyone, I walked them through, I have a whole draft."

Is there a 2nd season of The Last Thing He Told Me?

Apple TV+

Yes, Apple TV+ renewed The Last Thing He Told Me for a second season on March 25, 2024 (via Variety). While the series was originally limited to Laura Dave's first novel, the author's sequel book will provide the plotline for The Last Thing He Told Me season 2!

When is The Last Thing He Told Me season 2 coming out?

Apple TV+

Laura Dave's new book (we don't have a title quite yet!) is set to be released in 2025, so we'll see The Last Thing He Told Me season 2 in 2025 at the earliest. Seeing as filming for season 1 started May 3, 2022 and the show hit Apple TV+ on April 14, 2023, we'll have a better idea of the season 2 release date once filming starts.

Who's going to be in The Last Thing He Told Me season 2 cast?

Apple TV+

Jennifer Garner, Angourie Rice, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and David Morese will all return for The Last Thing He Told Me season 2. Jennifer is also producing!

“Like so many people, I fell for Hannah on page one of Laura Dave’s gripping novel,” she says in a statement. “The move to actor and producer from reader and super fan was delicious — and made even sweeter by collaborating with Laura, Josh, Reese and everyone at Hello Sunshine, as well as the amazing teams at Apple and 20th. Being part of this group, not to mention part of such a stellar cast, was a career highlight for me. I’m thrilled to get to tell more of Hannah’s story — I couldn’t have said yes more quickly to Season 2! These characters and their story mean so much to me, as I know they do to the many who have championed our show; we’re excited to give audiences even more with this next chapter.”

What is the summary of The Last Thing He Told Me?

Apple TV+

The Last Thing He Told Me follows a woodturner named Hannah, who's happily married to Owen. Her relationship with his daughter Bailey, however, is decidedly less happy. When Hannah wakes up one day to find Owen missing, and a note that says "Protect her" in his place, she and Bailey have to find out what happened to him — and why he left.

We don't know much about The Last Thing He Told Me season 2, but at the end of season 1, Laura Dave told Entertainment Weekly that if we got to see a sequel, we'd get a better understanding of why Owen left the way he did.

How many episodes of The Last Thing He Told Me are out?

Apple TV+

You can watch all seven episodes of the first season on Apple TV+ now!

In a world where people are hopping onto strange food trends without hesitation, like making pizza with naan and customizing their morning coffees beyond repair, it’s amazing anyone could still be grossed out by food. Needless to say, we still have our limits… especially when it comes to those itty bitty white worms wiggling around in our pretty pink salmon fillets (HUH?). But before you swear off these healthy omega-3-rich fillets for good, let’s understand what these worms in salmon are, why they’re present, and why you don’t have to snub your fave lox at brunch this Sunday.

Monstruo Estudio

The white worms we occasionally spot in salmon fillets are parasites called roundworms. Though these worms are more noticeable in salmon due to the contrast in color, they can be found in many white fish too — they’re just camouflaged.

But we shouldn’t be freaking out.

Huy Phan / PEXELS

Despite the fact that our knee-jerk reaction is to panic and consider things contaminated, roundworms are as natural to fish as insects are to fruits and veggies. A teeny white worm in your salmon is the equivalent to an aphid, thrip, or mite in your recently harvested greens. Yes, it’s still yucky AF, but totally natural.

Valeria Boltneva / PEXELS

The good news is that roundworms don’t pose health risks when fish is thoroughly cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, which is the FDA’s recommendation. When it comes to lightly preserved or raw fish — like sushi, sashimi, ceviche, or gravlax — as long as the product was commercially frozen to an internal temperature of -4 degrees Fahrenheit for at least seven days prior to preparation, parasites are terminated. (High five, fellow sushi lovers!)

Just be sure to avoid sketchy sushi joints; when you hear about people getting sick from eating at low-profile all-you-can-eat sushi spot, it’s because they aren’t handling their fish properly.

Lum3n / PEXELS

It is believed by some that wild-caught fish are more susceptible to roundworms due to the fact that they interact with an external ecosystem, while farmed fish are segregated from the wild and are fed pellets treated for parasites. This isn’t something *we* can confirm, but it’s food for thought nonetheless.

Mister Mister / PEXELS

If you really want to feast on fish but paranoia has now gotten the best of you, there is an at-home method you can try: fish candling. This method has you place a bright light beneath a fillet of fish so you can see the shadows of any worms present. You can then grab some tweezers and remove, then discard of the worms yourself. (This method obviously isn’t for the faint of heart.)

We say, thoroughly cook your fish and pretend worms never happened!

Would finding worms in your salmon deter you from eating it ever again? Let us know @BritandCo!
