You Can Stay at Carrie’s Sex and the City Pad, but Leave Her Money Woes at the Door

November 05, 2021 at 03:51PM Ah, to live like Carrie Bradshaw. The leading lady of Sex and the City, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, seemed to exist in a world where a lavish lifestyle was easily attainable, regardless of her bank account balance (as we know, she preferred her money hanging in her closet). Now, with the series’ HBO Max revival And Just Like That… slated to drop in December, Sex and the City fans can look forward to being immersed once again in the life of Carrie Bradshaw…literally. As announced by SJP on Instagram, Airbnb has recreated the unlucky-in-love columnist’s Upper East Side brownstone pad in Chelsea, complete with various knick-knacks seen in the original show — including a closet full of designer items and her work laptop propped open on the desk. The best part? Fans can win the chance to…

Jacqueline Durran Tours the Chanel Archives in Spencer

November 04, 2021 at 09:17PM There’s no doubt that Princess Diana was among the greatest fashion icons of the 20th century, whether she wore embellished gowns, bodycon dresses or a simple jacket over high-waisted jeans. In Pablo Larrain’s Spencer, audiences are invited to peek behind the royal walls of what might have happened over three days around Christmas 1991, as Diana Spencer (played brilliantly by Kristen Stewart) and her sons stayed at the queen’s annual holiday destination, Sandringham House, where its believed Diana made the decision to leave Prince Charles following his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles. Over the course of three days, Spencer — premiering in theatres today, November 5 — depicts the Princess of Wales’ inner turmoil as she battles bulimia and self-harm. It’s the outfits in the film that offer her a crutch, giving her the support she needs to exude confidence…

Friday Faves

Friday FavesNovember 05, 2021 at 10:48AM Hey friends! Happy Friday! I hope you’ve had a wonderful week. The kids have had a few half days in a row for school, so it’s been a little less on the productivity front, but I’ve been loving take them out to lunch, to the park, and on some extra adventures. Today, we’re meeting up with the Pilot at the air show. The rest of the weekend should be pretty chill. We’re watching Harry Potter 6 (getting close!), heading to a friend’s house for dinner, and enjoying the beautiful Tucson weather. I hope you have a fun and relaxing weekend ahead, too! Some Halloween pics: (We tried taking pics of the guinea pigs in their costumes, but it was a giant fail. Donut’s was too small on her – she’s HUGE, like a furry football haha – and…

Angelina Jolie Wore the Trouser Trend That’s Fresher Than Cropped Skinny Pants

November 05, 2021 at 08:00AM Angelina Jolie’s outfits always catch our attention, but especially when she’s in Paris (because who doesn’t love to see what people wear in Paris?). Jolie was recently in the City of Lights with her kids wearing a characteristically chic outfit. She wore her signature neutral color palette, opting for a white T-shirt, tan accessories and the subject of this story: full-length wide-leg khaki pants. If trouser muses were a thing (and perhaps they are), Angelina Jolie would be at the top of the list. You may recall that Jolie recently wore wide-leg jeans to the airport, and the look basically went viral. Wide-leg, full-length pants are a staple of hers, and they’ve pretty much taken the place of cropped skinny trousers for the time being—just see Jennifer Lawrence, Kendall Jenner and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for confirmation. Scroll on to see how she expertly styled them…

My Friend Looks 10 Years Younger Than She Is, so I Did Her Skincare for 5 Months

November 05, 2021 at 08:00AM My friend Shayna Kossove is 42. She is also my colleague at Who What Wear, meaning I see her a lot and have plenty of opportunities to gaze upon her surprisingly, confusingly youthful visage. As two of the company’s veteran employees, we’ve worked together for almost eight years, and I promise I am not exaggerating when I say she looks exactly the same as when I started at the company. It is confounding. There’s a general consensus among the editors that Shayna looks 10-plus years younger than she is. Naturally, I needed to know what beauty witchcraft was going on, so I decided to get her exact anti-ageing skincare routine and copy it—and copy it and copy it—until I, too, would begin to age in reverse. I stuck with it for five months, and it worked. Here’s an in-depth look at her fountain-of-youth routine,…

Black Jeans Are Often Overlooked—These 9 Outfits Unlock Their Full Potential

November 05, 2021 at 08:00AM When we talk about classic jeans, blue pairs often spring to mind, but I think black jeans are just as timeless, even if they don’t receive the same airtime as their vintage-wash counterparts. I always feel more pulled together and polished in black jeans, which I’d argue also transition from day to night more seamlessly due to their darker base colour.Still, just like any outfit, black jean outfits can become repetitive if you let them. So in an attempt to stop them from becoming stale and tired, I’ve gone on the hunt for black jean outfits that are classic, chic, and won’t let you down no matter where you’re going. Handily, there was a plethora of stylish looks to choose from, and my favourites are showcased below.Whether you’re looking for new ways to freshen your style for autumn or simply want some insight into…

This Low-Maintenance Haircut Is Set to Be Huge in 2021

November 05, 2021 at 08:00AM If you had asked any beauty insider back in January what the big hair trends for the year ahead would be, it’s unlikely anyone would have said grown-out roots, wonky fringes, and patchy box dye jobs. Yet here we are. The year is finally drawing to a close, and it’s safe to say that the face of beauty has changed substantially over the past 11 months, most notably when it comes to our hair. Whatever your signature style, whether you started the year with ice-white lengths or a sleek, glass-like bob, chances are 2020 has messed with your hair game.Sure, we all started this ride feeling optimistic that we would be able to return to our trusty stylists and get our signature locks back just as soon as things “blew over,” but as time has moved on so have our hair priorities.…

I’m Totally Uninspired by Makeup in Winter, But These 8 Looks Are Just Too Good

November 05, 2021 at 06:30AM I’m not sure about you, but when winter comes knocking I get lazy with my makeup routine. The minute temperatures hit single figures, any motivation I once had to sit in front of the mirror first thing and apply a full-face is totally diminished. If you’re asking me, it doesn’t matter how good the season’s trends are, I’d much prefer to spend an extra 10 minutes in bed rather than get up early on a dark winter’s morning to spend more time on my makeup.I know this makes me lazy (and a bad beauty editor to boot), but it’s the truth. This year, however, I’m feeling a little differently. You see, the events of last winter meant that my seasonal loathing for doing my makeup was defunct. Having no reason to need to apply my oodles of makeup (because…

These 7 Colours Are the Key to an Expensive-Looking Winter Wardrobe

November 05, 2021 at 06:05AM Once the colder weather settles in, there are a few key things we can always expect. Firstly, on weekdays at least, we’ll be rising earlier than the sun. Secondly, we’ll begin daydreaming about open fireplaces. And thirdly, we’re about to start seeing a whole lot more beige, brown, and orange tones on the rails and in new-in sections. Whether it is because those colours mimic the hues of the changing leaves or simply play contrast to the bright colours we typically wear earlier in the year, there is something about this season that has everyone dressing in warm, cosy tones and timeless neutrals.It’s a tried-and-trusted colour palette that we know we turn to year after year, as each shade looks good individually but also seamlessly complements the other. We’ve noticed members of the style set also getting on board with…
