New year, new theme, same US! Queenagers Lisa and Erin bring you what’s in/out for 2024 (you’ll never take away our leggings!). What the Pantone colour of the year is meant to evoke and how to ease it in. A painful device was actually a welcome Christmas gift for Erin, while Lisa’s literally doing some pruning this year, given she’ll have more time with her social media semi self-exile.
