yield: 4 servings 
serving size: 2 eggrolls

 2 tsp sesame oil (optional) 
2 tsp ginger, minced (or ½ tsp dried) 
2 tsp garlic, minced (about 2 cloves)
 4 C cabbage (napa or Chinese), rinsed and shredded

2 C grilled boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into strips (about 4 small breasts) (Leftover Friendly)
 1 tsp lite soy sauce
 8 phyllo dough sheets

 Nonstick cooking spray





1. Preheat oven to 400 ºF.
 2. Heat vegetable and sesame oils in a large wok or sauté pan over medium heat.

The Highest-Paid Female Athletes 2018

The best female tennis players in the world descend on New York City this week in advance of the U.S. Open, which kicks off on Monday. The top prize: $3.8 million for the women’s singles champ, the richest purse in tennis history.


The U.S. Open was the first tournament to offer equal prize money to men and women, in 1973, and tennis remains the prime outlet for the highest-earning female athletes, with eight of the top 10 slots. It is the one sport where earnings opportunities are at least in the same universe as they are for the men, as opposed to, say, basketball, in which average salaries in the NBA are 100 times their female counterparts in the WNBA.
1. Serena Williams — Total earnings: $18.1 million
Prize money: $62,000
Endorsements: $18 million
Williams launched her fashion collection, Serena, in May. After collections for HSN and Nike, this is her first solo compilation and includes dresses, denim, and jackets. Her $86 million in career prize money is twice the total of her sister Venus, who ranks second all-time.
2. Caroline Wozniacki — Total earnings: $13 million
Prize money: $7 million
Endorsements: $6 million
Her endorsement partners include Adidas, Rolex, Usana, Babolat and more. She partnered with Ovvo Optics this year for her own sunglasses line. The offerings include 11 men’s and women’s styles named after Wozniacki’s family, friends and fellow famous Danes.

3. Sloane Stephens — Total earnings: $11.2 million
Prize money: $5.7 million
Endorsements: $5.5 million
Stephens’ timing was impeccable for her first Grand Slam title (2017 U.S. Open): All of her sponsorship deals had expired or were set to run out at the end of 2017. The result was a huge bump in her off-court income thanks to new deals as a Slam winner with Nike, Mercedes-Benz, Rolex, Colgate, Chocolate Milk, and Biofreeze. She was the first American woman beside the Williams sisters to win a Grand Slam since 2002.

4. Garbine Muguruza — Total earnings: $11 million
Prize money: $5.5 million
Endorsements: $5.5 million
Muguruza won her second Slam at Wimbledon last year. The title meant a big bonus from sponsor Adidas and also helped her land a deal with Rolex. Evian signed the Spanish-Venezuelan pro this year for a multiyear, global marketing campaign. Other sponsors include Babolat, Beats by Dre, Rolex, Maui Jim sunglasses and Caser Seguros insurance.

5. Maria Sharapova — Total earnings: $10.5 million
Prize money: $1 million
Endorsements: $9.5 million
Sharapova added a multiyear deal with UBS last year to a portfolio that already included Nike, Head, Porsche and Evian. The candy mogul expanded her Sugarpova brand via agreements with the Hudson Group and SBE Hotel Group. The brand is available in 22 countries, and sales should hit $20 million next year.

6. Venus Williams — Total earnings: $10.2 million
Prize money: $4.2 million
Endorsements: $6 million
Alcon tapped Williams this year to help launch a new lubricant to combat dry eye. Her awareness level of 81% in the U.S. ranks behind only her sister’s among female athletes in the U.S. Williams, 38, is a popular draw on the speaking circuit, commanding as much as $100,000 for an appearance. She plans to play in the 2020 Olympics.

7. P.V. Sindhu — Total earnings: $8.5 million
The Indian badminton player burst on the scene with a silver medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics. She was the first Indian female athlete to win a silver. The 23-year-old has a robust sponsor roster with Bridgestone, Gatorade, Nokia, Panasonic, Reckitt Benckiser and a half-dozen other brands.
Prize money: $500,000
Endorsements: $8 million

8. Simona Halep — Total earnings: $7.7 million
Prize money: $6.2 million
Endorsements: $1.5 million
The world’s top-ranked tennis player had her deal with Adidas expire at the end of 2017. She reached the Australian Open final in January wearing a dress she designed herself. Nike inked the Romanian to a multiyear pact the following month.

9. Danica Patrick — Total earnings: $7.5 million
Salary/prize money: $3 million
Endorsements: $4.5 million
The most successful female race car driver moved away from full-time racing after the 2017 Nascar season and hung up her firesuit for good after the Indy 500 in May. She launched a clothing line, Warrior by Danica Patrick, last year and authored the fitness book Pretty Intense. Patrick has made headlines in the gossip magazines through her romance with star NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Our earnings estimate includes six months of salary and winnings from the 2017 Nascar season.

10. Angelique Kerber — Total earnings: $7 million
Prize money: $3 million
Endorsements: $4 million
Adidas is the biggest endorsement deal for the German tennis ace, and she also counts Generali, Porsche, Rolex, SAP, and Yonex among her sponsors. Not included in Kerber’s earnings tally is the $3.3 million she pocketed for winning Wimbledon last month, after our counting period.



A Visual Guide to Choosing the Perfect Pair of Glasses for Your Face Shape

"A square face is all about the angular features, like your prominent jawline and a wider forehead," says New York City-based stylist Ross McCallum, who adds that in order to add dimension and contrast to these features, it's best to choose frames that soften your angles. For this, he recommends frames that are more curved and/or circular as well as thinner, such as this pair by Zenni Optical.

"These were by far my favorite pair," says writer, model, trans advocate, and editorial assistant Devin-Norelle. He adds, "I really liked them because they accentuate the shape of my eyes — and I don't normally wear glasses, but I think I'll wear these pretty often."
Another top pick of McCallum's for those with square faces is a classic cat-eye style, as they have the desired curved effect that complements the angles of the face. New York City-based stylist and creative director Rachael Wang concurs, explaining that the strong geometry of a square face is flattered by the thick framing on the upper half that's common in cat-eye styles, like these from Warby Parker.

Another top pick of McCallum's for those with square faces is a classic cat-eye style, as they have the desired curved effect that complements the angles of the face. New York City-based stylist and creative director Rachael Wang concurs, explaining that the strong geometry of a square face is flattered by the thick framing on the upper half that's common in cat-eye styles, like these from Warby Parker.
"I love how these clear frames opened my face up," says Choi. "I've worn glasses for years because of my terrible vision, so it's refreshing to have frames that make a subtle statement without sacrificing my eyesight."

Another glasses style that flatters a round face is a retro cat-eye frame with thicker rims. "The youthful softness of round faces is complemented by strong geometric and angular frames," says Wang. "Glasses with lenses that are wider compared to taller can also help for height so they don't sit on your cheeks," adds McCallum, who says one of his top picks would be a fun cat-eye style, like these from Zenni Optical.
"I always wear a cat eye with my makeup, so I thought that a similar shape in my glasses could be overkill. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how they seemed to complement the overall look," muses Choi.

"People out there with heart-shaped faces are revered for their high cheekbones and sharply tapered jawline," says McCallum, who also notes that they tend to have a longer chin and wider forehead. "Look for frames that are a bit wider than your forehead, as they usually suit you better," he says, adding that his top choices would be styles that sweep up the face, such as cat-eye frames or these rectangular frames by Warby Parker. Wang agrees, adding that folks with heart-shaped faces should aim for bottom-heavy frames to balance a narrow chin.
"I loved discovering what glasses actually worked for my face shape rather than just picking out the trendy frames," says Allure associate social media manager Madison Theobald. "This tortoiseshell pair is a great option if you are bored with the more traditional silver/black frames."


Elsa Schiaparelli (1890----1973)

In the fifth portion of BoF's design history arrangement, we examine the life of Chanel's main adversary, who played with surrealism and brought stun factor into form. Elsa Schiaparelli shot to notoriety by blending in Parisian culture's correct circles which took her everything the best approach to Hollywood where she dressed Greta Garbo and Mae West.

The boldness and style of it never left Schiaparelli. In truth, she spent her whole life trying to create the Casati magic, not only in clothes, but also in her life.

The moment hijabs dazzled the New York Fashion Week catwalk

A collection presented at New York Fashion Week is the first time every model walked the event's runway wearing a hijab. Muslim designer Anniesa Hasibuan's show was also one of the first by an Indonesian at the prestigious annual event. At a time when what Muslim women choose to wear is causing intense debate, many are calling Hasibuan's move a historic moment in bringing the hijab into the mainstream.



 The Islamic veil across Europe Inspired by her hometown Jakarta, Hasibuan presented trousers, flowing tunic and gowns, in luxurious fabrics and detailed embroidery, all worn with hijabs. A relative newcomer, 30-year-old Hasibuan received a standing ovation at the end of her show earlier this week. "Behind the success of a show there is a great team that was strong and sturdy when it was hit by dissent," she wrote on Instagram. "And we can handle it." Melanie Elturk, chief executive of Haute Hijab - a US brand selling hijabs and modest fashion - was at the show. "I believe fashion is one of the outlets in which we can start that cultural shift in today's society to normalize hijab in America so as to break down stereotypes and demystify misconceptions," she wrote on Instagram. "Last night's show was a huge leap forward in that direction." Islamic fashion is definitely having a moment and retailers are trying to cash in, whether it is H&M releasing an ad showing a Muslim model in a hijab, Uniqlo partnering with a Muslim designer or Dolce and Gabbana releasing a line of hijabs and abayas, aimed at wealthy Muslim consumers.



 It has coincided with what is being called the "modesty movement" in fashion. Many mainstream designers are experimenting with more covered-up clothing (the one-piece bathing suit is back on trend) and Muslim designers are getting creative with Islamic clothing. Indonesia is seen as an innovator in the region for modern Islamic dress. "Indonesian fashion has become more diverse and we've become more confident in taking our own culture and what we've grown up with into our influences," says Putri Soediono, a Singapore-based designer with Indonesian heritage. Soediono thinks Hasibuan has proven that Islamic wear can be fashionable, not just the plain black Arab-style burqa that people think of, and that there is talent in Indonesia.


  But although some see designers like Hasibuan as modernising the Muslim dress for the modern Muslim, there are conservative groups in Indonesia who say these clothes are "not Islamic enough". "The belief among some is that the essence of Muslim dress is to wear something decent, to be modest. For women they have to make sure what they're wearing doesn't attract the attention of men," says Dr Eva Nisa, professor of Islamic Studies at Victoria University, who has been researching Muslim fashion in Indonesia since 2007. "Some people think what the Muslim fashion designers produce is totally against this kind of religious doctrine [because it can be seen to attract attention]." She says, in reaction to this, there has been a move towards the jilbab or hijab Shari'a - presented as more appropriate modern Islamic dress - since it is long and loose and doesn't show a woman's curves. For many young Muslim women, the hijab is not a symbol or a statement, but just part of their identity - an identity they are asserting more confidently. Hasibuan "started her career designing for Muslim women - this is what her consumers want," says Soediono. "We just want to design for ourselves, what we like to wear."
