Seaweed is in my top ‘beauty’ ingredients – here’s why!November 15, 2021 at 09:00PM I am always amazed – though not surprised – at how powerful the plant world can be when it comes to supporting our health and beauty needs. One of my absolute favourite ingredients from nature grows in the ocean… the humble seaweed! However, this botanical hero from the sea is definitely not-so-humble when it comes to supporting our hair and skin. I love using it internally as a supplement to support hair health and growth, whilst using it topically in skincare for a radiant, youthful complexion. Let’s take a dive into the science behind how seaweed delivers these ‘beautifying’ benefits, both from the inside and out.

13 Latinx-Owned Fashion Brands to Shop This Sala Season

November 15, 2021 at 08:20PM We’ve been trying to be more mindful about how and where we spend our money these days, while also making a conscious effort to support Latinx entrepreneurs, creators, and business owners as often as possible. Latinx fashion designers and clothing companies are not something we hear about often, but they exist and are out here making some seriously stylish and thoughtful clothing. There was definitely a time when even the idea of buying clothes, shoes, and accessories from a Latinx-owned shop, let alone created by Latinx designers, wasn’t even on the radar, largely because representation was severely lacking. But now, we know that sometimes in order to support each other, we have to do a little digging and find those small businesses ourselves. With the holiday season approaching, we definitely have shopping on our minds. From sassy T-shirts…

I Found a Faux-Leather Jumpsuit at Walmart For $40, and It Looks Like Legit Luxury

November 15, 2021 at 08:01PM Hi, jumpsuit-obsessed writer here! Ask my friends, my mom, my fiancĂŠ (you name it!) if I had to choose one fashion item to wear for the rest of eternity, it would be the one-piece garment. I’m obsessed with how they can make you look so put-together with little to no effort - and that’s precisely why I own several different styles: a long-sleeved denim jumpsuit, a utility jumpsuit, loungy jumpsuits, and … more. But that said, there was one material missing from my wardrobe: faux leather. I had wanted one for a while but didn’t want to shell out more than $100. Don’t get me wrong, I love luxury fashion, but I also love the sweet, sweet feeling of finding an on-trend item for an affordable price. So, perhaps the last place I thought I’d find the style…

The Ghost of Prom Dresses Past is Back

November 15, 2021 at 07:55PM On Tuesday, November 16, Le Château is re-entering the Canadian retail conversation with a casual collection of graphic tees and tracksuits. Just kidding. It’s a “Glamour Capsule” of decadent dresses and jumpsuits, with all the holiday flair you would expect from Canada’s go-to prom destination. The 50 look assortment, available on lechateau.com, takes the drama and glitz synonymous with the Montreal-based brand and presents updated versions of its early-aughts staples. Lace and velvet cascade over plunging necklines. Glitter and ruching commingle in wide-legged pantsuits. There’s even a few mom-approved cutouts. View this post on Instagram   A post shared by LE CHÂTEAU (@lechateau) “Our sweet spot was always dresses,” shares Franco Rocchi, senior marketing director of Le Château. “So for the Le Château relaunch we’re starting with occasion dresses for the holiday season.” It was a sad, nostalgia-inducing…

Meet My New Everyday Shirt: An Oversized Plaid Flannel From Old Navy

November 15, 2021 at 06:40PM True confession: I’m picky when it comes to flannel shirts. As a Vermont-born-New Hampshire-raised gal it’s safe to say flannels were a staple of my fall and winter wardrobe. I’ve tried all types of flannel shirts that come from retailers like L.L. Bean (based in Maine!), prior boyfriends’ closets, and tons of small New England stores, and let me tell you: there is a vast difference in quality, comfort, and price depending on where you get them. While I don’t normally shop retail for flannels, Old Navy’s quality has impressed me this past year and, admittedly, I have a thing for red flannel shirts. So when I saw this Oversized Plaid Flannel Boyfriend Tunic Shirt for Women ($37) I thought “why not? I can always return it.” Luckily, no returns will be necessary - I’m impressed! I ordered…

Cuteness Overload: Serena Williams and Olympia Brought Their Matching Style to the Red Carpet

November 15, 2021 at 05:39PM Today’s daily dose of cuteness is served up by none other than Serena Williams and Olympia Ohanian. The adorable mother-daughter duo had all eyes on them at the Los Angeles premiere of King Richard on Sunday when they walked the red carpet in matching outfits alongside Alexis Ohanian. Custom-designed by David Koma, their black bodysuits had the same silver embellishments cascading down the front, but varied slightly otherwise - Serena’s was a one-legged bodysuit that came with a thigh-high piece of studded fabric and matching gloves, while Olympia’s was a regular two-legged bodysuit that she styled with a silver statement necklace. At this point, Serena and her 4-year-old daughter have mastered the art of fashionable twinning. They first dipped their toes into the trend back in 2018 when Olympia received her very own mini version of Serena’s Nike…

November 15, 2021 at 04:52PM Taylor Swift’s “reddest video ever” is here! The singer surprised fans on Sunday morning when she revealed she’d be dropping a music video for “I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version)” the following day, and honestly? We couldn’t have asked for a better drop and better outfits. Directed by Blake Lively – aka Betty’s mom herself - the production centers around her ex (Miles Teller)’s wedding, where Taylor is seen dressed as different players at such event, including a server, various types of wedding guests, flower girl, performer, and even a bride. And of course, (almost) every single outfit, styled by Joseph Cassell Falconer, is the same bright shade of red. There’s much to unpack about each ensemble, so take a closer look at every dress (plus one suit) ahead. Related: Taylor Swift Just Wore Her Own…

On Saturday night, the 18-year-old model attended the Baby2Baby 10-Year Gala alongside her mom, Vanessa Bryant, dressed in beautiful blushing pink from head to toe. Natalia, who is becoming a force in the fashion industry, was styled by duo Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn wearing an orchid pink Monsoori dress. The open-back dress featured a big bow strewn across the chest and a centered thigh-high slit with multiple layers filling out the skirt, beautifully resembling flower petals. She paired the dress with Femme LA heels, shiny Kallati jewelry, and the perfectly matching Tyler Ellis Lee Pouchet clutch.
