Instagram has released their 2018 list of top searched wedding trends, and the most popular ring does NOT feature a diamond!
Instead, people are lusting over rings that include a Moissanite stone.

If you’re not sure what a Moissanite is or what it looks like, but really want to know, then look no further.

It essentially looks a lot like a diamond, but isn’t one. The rare stone was discovered in 1893 by a French scientist named Henri Moissan.

Pinterest reported that searches for the stone had spiked by a whopping 294%, suggesting that this is soon to be the norm.

According to brilliantearth, these are the key similarities between the two stones.

Both stones are incredibly brilliant, but the type of brilliance they emit varies slightly. Moissanites emit a “fiery, rainbow flash”, which can create a “disco ball” effect, especially in strong sunlight, whereas Diamonds reflect light in three different ways.

Brilliance

Both stones are incredibly brilliant, but the type of brilliance they emit varies slightly. Moissanites emit a “fiery, rainbow flash”, which can create a “disco ball” effect, especially in strong sunlight, whereas Diamonds reflect light in three different ways.

Colour

Moissanites tend to have a more yellowish hue, whereas Diamonds are more bright and white in appearance.

And now for the really important part…

Price

For stones of the same size, moissanites are far less expensive than diamonds. Even lab created diamonds, which are less expensive than natural ones, dwarf the moissanite in price.

Moissanites do vary in price, depending on whether they are premium or super premium.

More: Makers of the most popular wedding dress ever have a new dress, and it’s VERY risqué…

For a 1.0 carat diamond, you are looking to pay upwards of £2,800, whereas a classic moissanite will cost you just £192! A Forever One moissanite (the best kind), will cost you £428.

A 1.5 carat diamond would set you back over £7,000, while a classic moissanite of the same size would set you back £321.

With price differences like that, this gemstone is certainly not something to be sniffed at!

Other trends on the rise were Art Deco rings (+173%), as well as Oval Stones (+125%).

Now all we need is someone to propose to us!

Emily in Paris Fans Think Kim Cattrall Will Make an Appearance in Season 3

instyle– Fans are speculating a major pop-culture crossover in season 3 of Emily in Paris. After Kim Cattrall infamously turned down the chance to revive her Sex and the City character, Samantha Jones, for the reboot, fans couldn’t help but wonder if Jones could make an appearance in the next season of the cult-favorite Netflix show.

If you’re watching And Just Like That … (and even if you’re not), you know that Cattrall’s character is supposedly off working her public relationships magic in London, England, just a quick trip from Emily (Lily Collins) and her booming marketing firm, Savoir.

Fans noticed major parallels between the characters, from their location to their sex positivity to their career in communications. Plus, both series were created by big-time Hollywood producer Darren Star — with SATC costume designer Patricia Field now responsible for Emily’s kitschy, Parisian looks — making a collab that much more believable.

One Twitter user wrote, “Current theory: Samantha has supposedly moved overseas, hence her lack of presence in the new SATC TV series. Then she shows up by total surprise in a crossover episode of EMILY IN PARIS. I would watch Samantha try to tolerate Emily, 100 percent.”

Collins fueled the flames by teasing a possible season 3. The actress posted photographs from her Vogue Hong Kong cover featuring a jet-black shag haircut and dark makeup writing, “Season 3 pivot?? Who’s with me? …” Collins used the same caption when reposting a fan’s Tweet with the magazine images that read, “Emily in Berlin.”

Women Who Work Outside Road-Tested the Season’s Cutest Winter Coats

If you’re in the market for a new winter coat, there’s no shortage of options out there. Fuzzy, puffy, water resistant, bright — whatever you want, a quick Google search will surely lead you to something that promises to be top-notch. But will it actually be warm and stand up to the elements? Ehh…that’s not always a guarantee. Some coats photograph well but turn out to be flimsier, breezier, or less precipitation-proof than they look.

This season, though, InStyle.com decided to take some of that risk out of the equation. We wanted honest coat reviews — ones that told us something that wasn’t in the product description. So, we recruited the help of five ‘cold professionals,’ AKA women who work outside as part of their job. We gave them one of the coats we’d been coveting, had them walk around in it for about an hour (while we snapped photos, of course), and then asked them questions to determine its overall rating, which accounts for warmth but also coolness.

Thankfully, this crew didn’t hold back and shared some solid advice for those wondering what jacket is really worth their money this winter.

Of the many fashion and beauty lines that members of the Kardashian/Jenner clan have launched over the past few years, Kim Kardashian West’s Skims is undoubtedly one of the family’s biggest hits. Since its debut in 2019, the shapewear and loungewear brand has won rave reviews (and earned a whole lot of money) for its comfortable styles and inclusive sizing, and so it’s no wonder that its products often sell out super quickly. If you’ve been dying to try some items out for yourself but haven’t gotten the chance just yet, we’ve got good news: Skims Cotton Rib Thermal Leggings are available at Nordstrom in so many colors and size options right now.

For anyone not familiar with thermal leggings, they’re the best during winter (or any day when the AC is on too high, if we’re being real). They’re designed to retain your body heat and keep you warm, and the best ones do so while still being light enough to allow your skin to breathe. Skims’ thermal leggings are made with ribbed stretch cotton that hugs close to the body, yet doesn’t feel suffocating.
