22 predictions for social media in 2019

Just like that, 2018 has come to a close. I realize there are a few days left in the year, but the content industry is already well into its cycle of recaps and predictions, and readers can be forgiven if they would like to their attention to more festive matters to close out the year. Personally, I have a lot of shopping to do — but I’ll also be spending the time planning 2019. It’s going to be a big year for The Interface, and I need to spend some time away from Twitter to give it some shape. There may be a bonus issue or two — I have a few stories publishing before the end of the year that are relevant to our interests here — but otherwise your daily rundown of the day’s top news in social networks and democracy will return Jan. 7th.

7 Colors That Look Great Paired With Brown

Sure, we all love black—it’s the easiest shade on the color wheel to wear, right? As it turns out, brown is just as versatile, plus it’s a lot less predictable. And it’s both a classic color and has been a trend for the past several seasons, meaning that brown is, in fact, the new black (sorry, we had to).

When paired with a variety of other hues, brown looks surprisingly sophisticated, making it a great replacement for your standard-issue black. It feels rich and luxurious with these complementary colors, and what more could you ask for in a fall wardrobe’s color palette? That said, brown is notoriously polarizing. Many consider it to be an “ugly” color. But hear us out and give it a chance. It feels surprisingly fresh this season in particular, and it’s an unexpected departure from other more beloved neutrals.

Intrigued as to which shades work best with this rich neutral? Scroll down to see and shop the seven colors that go with brown.

I Copied Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen’s Outfits for a Week—See the Pics

If you asked me to name a single style icon who’s had the most influence on what I wear, I’d be hard-pressed to come up with just one name. The fact is, I pull my style inspiration from many different people, places, and things, save for one exception (okay, two exceptions): Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The sisters have set themselves apart from the rest of the celebrity crowd through their unwavering approach to clean, pared-back style that’s redefined minimalism for so many.

I’m certain I’m not the only one the Olsens have held a strong influence over, seeing as their successful brands The Row and Elizabeth and James have both earned cult followings. Since their style is talked about and analyzed to no end, I tried my hand at putting all that influence to the test. I decided to give myself a Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen–inspired makeover, complete with clean lines, a monochrome color scheme, and classic wardrobe staples.

Ahead, see the Olsen-inspired outfits I wore and then shop pieces to get the look, too.

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (3-pound) beef tenderloin, trimmed and tied into 2-inch sections
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
