| Posted: 26 Jul 2019 12:00 AM PDT CLOSE  Influencers can't rely on metrics like follower counts and likes after Instagram's test of hiding "likes" expanded to more markets. Buzz60 Adrienne Wiest's style can be best described as grandma gone wild. The fashion blogger-turned-Instagrammer specializes in creating one-of-a-kind looks with retro finds. Known by her Instagram handle, The Vintage Epicurean, Wiest loves everything quirky. Her feed is full of gawky rhinestones, bold colors and structured shoulder pads. But her unique style isn't the only thing that sets her apart from other influencers. Wiest doesn't take her outfits or online presence too seriously, and she never has. The 34-year-old Oak Ridge native remembers slipping on a borrowed pair of her mom's stilettos and strutting down the halls of her high school, like it was her personal runway. "I have always dressed this way. I've always loved fashion, dressing up and the idea of wearable art. It was just a fun, entertaining part of my day," Wiest said. "And even now, it elevates my mood." Now, the aisles of the University of Tennessee Medical Center serve as her catwalk ,and runway shows are her muse. Wiest is a registered nurse by day and a blogger by, well ,day too. Weist didn't plan on becoming an Instagram influencer, but she figured why let her job or the ever-multiplying number of blogs stop her? So she opened her laptop and got to work. Wiest already had a history of modelling semi-professionally - if you count her painfully early-2000s Model Search America head shots. But she really started her style side hustle after getting requests from friends and local photographers for her to pose for photo shoots. Wiest took as many as she could and did her own hair, makeup and styling. The more she did, the more people asked her to model for them. "I was really getting to express what I like doing and getting so much positive feedback," Wiest said. "I was like, 'Maybe there's something there?" I finally mustered up the guts because I felt kind of cheesy starting another fashion blog. I was like, 'Well, that's not a reason not to do it'." That was a year ago. Since then Wiest has written blog posts about her styling process, the inspiration behind every outfit and a little bit of life advice here and there. Instagram has really been the place where her content thrives though. Wiest started posting modelling photos on her personal account - if you scroll far enough you'll even see some posts with the original Instagram filters and frames. Offline, Wiest says her closet's chaotic, but there's a method to all the madness, especially when it comes to adding to her crammed collection. She buys from online stores like eBay and Etsy and shops locally at thrift shops and curated boutiques. For Wiest, the chase is all about a good buy. "You get a lot for what you pay for, and there's less buyer's remorse with thrifting. I mean, if you spend $6 on something, that's as much as a cup of coffee. And once you get your thrill out of it, you can just donate it back." Donating used clothes back to places like Goodwill and KARM is an important part of Wiest's process. "I feel like it's not going to keep giving you something if you don't get back into it as well," she said. "What is interesting about thrift shopping is that it's like renting clothes. You can get stuff, wear it for a while and if you get tired of it, you donate it back. Then it can be somebody else's for a while. I like to think of it as continuing this mysterious legacy of the people that wore them and giving somebody else the opportunity to enjoy them." Shopping for eccentric clothing is one thing, but being bold to wear it is another. Wiest said standing out in an Instagrammable world isn't always an easy thing to do. "It's taken me a long time to build that confidence and figure out my personal style," Wiest said. "Like a lot of people I was always trying to fit into a box and felt very insecure for a really long time. Photo shoots and positive reinforcement from friends and followers helped Wiest get out of her comfort zone and own her personal style. But she gets that her fashion sense isn't for everyone. "If you don't want to wear shiny American Apparel disco pants and rhinestone earrings, then you don't have to," Wiest said. "I think that you should just wear what makes you feel happy." Uncanny confidence doesn't just happen, but Wiest says that as long as you like what you're wearing and put it on with purpose, you can't go wrong. Most importantly though, Wiest says to show yourself some love and cut yourself some slack. "If you really love something, wear it," Wiest said. "But if it makes you nervous, then definitely wear it."

CLOSE After her Emmy award nomination, actress Christina Hendricks talks about missing the 'Mad Men' series and what it means to be nominated for the show for the last time. (July 17) AP Knoxville-born Christina Hendricks is most known for playing Joan Holloway, the brash office manager on "Mad Men." However, audiences can expect her newest character to be even more cut-throat. This June, Hendricks will voice Gabby Gabby, the vintage villain on "Toy Story 4." In an interview with Collider, Hendricks said that her casting couldn't have been a better fit and hinted at what audiences can expect on the big screen this summer. "I just thought it seemed too good to be true," Hendricks said. "The first time that I went in, they showed me some animation, showed me the doll, and showed me her minions, who are these creepy ventriloquist dolls. I was like, 'You guys have no idea how perfect this is for me. I actually have a weird ventriloquist doll at my house.' Of course, the doll looks like me, so I was in heaven. Not only that, my doll lives in an antique store. I was like, 'You don't understand. I've spent half of my life in antique stores. You guys got in my weird brain.' " According to Entertainment Weekly, Josh Cooley, the director of "Toy Story 4," agreed that Hendricks was the right person to bring Gabby to life. "We couldn't have picked a better person to voice our villain than Christina Hendricks," Cooley said. "It's perfect. She can play such sweet innocence and kindness, and then at the flip of a switch, she can go just so cold and terrifying. It's so much fun." "Toy Story 4" arrives in theaters nine years after the franchise's last movie. The film is full of new faces, including characters voiced by celebrities including Jordan Peele, Keegan-Michael Key and Keanu Reeves, but Knoxville moviegoers have one of their own to watch. CLOSE Woody, Buzz and the rest of the gang are back for Disney's "Toy Story 4." They're joined by a spork who is having a bit of an identity crisis. USA TODAY Hendricks was born in Knoxville in 1975, because her dad, who had a job with the U.S. Forest Service, worked in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. After that, Hendricks and her family moved across the country often because of her father's job, making it difficult to find a place to call home. Hendricks' interest in acting began early after her mother encouraged her to join a local theater group as a way of making friends. After another major move, Hendricks found security in her high school's drama department. Since then, Hendricks has starred as the lead in popular television shows and independent films. "Toy Story 4" will be arrive in theaters June 21. Want to read more stories like this?

| Posted: 03 Jun 2019 12:00 AM PDT It was recently reported that she and husband Justin Bieber were holding off on a wedding until his mental health had improved. But Hailey Baldwin looked like she didn't have a care in the world when she was spotted Monday in Los Angeles' Venice neighborhood. The 22-year-old model had on a crop top that showed off her chiseled abs and trim hourglass figure.  Fit figure: Hailey Baldwin, 22, looked like she didn't have a care in the world when she was spotted Monday in Los Angeles' Venice neighborhood after a workout in West Hollywood Hailey had come from a gym session with a friend in West Hollywood earlier in the day, so she was still dressed in her sporty attire. The 5ft7in face of Levi Jeans had on a plain white T-shirt rolled up under her bra to put her taut midriff on display. Her long, slender stems were on view along with her high-waisted gray shorts. She had on a pair of workout-appropriate black trainers and kept her blonde bob tied back in a high bun. Her face was obscured by a pair of large black sunglasses, and she jazzed up her utilitarian outfit with a pair of jeweled earrings and a gold luxury wristwatch.  Washboard abs: The 5ft7in face of Levi Jeans had on a plain white T-shirt rolled up under her bra to put her taut midriff on display  Legs for days: Her long, slender stems were on view along with her high-waisted gray shorts Following her workout, Hailey drove down to the coastal neighborhood of Venice, where she headed to Cha Cha Matcha for a healthy drink. Though she and her husband Justin often spend their time in New York, the two recently returned to California while he entered the studio to record new music. On Thursday, the Sorry singer tweeted, 'Making new music,' and on Friday he made good on the statement by releasing a new collaborative track with Gucci Mane, Love Thru The Computer.  Hydrating: Following her workout, Hailey drove down to the coastal neighborhood of Venice, where she headed to Cha Cha Matcha for a healthy drink It was the second single he released in May. He was featured on Ed Sheeran's I Don't Care, posted earlier in the month. Presumably Justin is gearing up to release another full-length album, though so far he's been content to dribble out singles with high-profile guests. The pivot back to making music came as a surprise, after he told fans he was stepping back from music to focus on 'my family and my health,' in an Instagram post from March. 'I am now very focused on repairing some of the deep rooted issues that I have as most of us have, so that I don't fall apart, so that I can sustain my marriage and be the father I want to be.'

Steamy studio: A subsequent photo showed Hailey relaxing on some equipment in a black tank top that highlighted her bust A subsequent snap showed the two lovers embracing on a studio couch. Hailey shared her own photo a day later. The black and white photo showed her relaxing on top some of the studio equipment, with a black tank top that highlighted her bust and a varsity-style jacket around her arms. |
