November 05, 2021 at 05:15PM I’m the type of shopper who will take weeks to decide whether or not to splurge on a party dress, but if someone I love wants it, I’ll buy it for them in an instant. I’ll spoil my parents, sisters, or good friends before I even think about getting the same thing for myself. It doesn’t make it easier on my bank account, but the contentment on their faces is worth it. When shopping for high-end items, I typically spend a lot of time vetting the quality and durability. A cashmere sweater. A versatile cardholder. A statement everyday bag. The thinking is, if I’m going to splurge on something, it better last for years. If you’re on the lookout for similar fashion gifts, I’ve compiled a list of ideas that are worth your attention. Ranging from small everyday…
November 05, 2021 at 05:04PM Let’s stop with the dating app thirst traps. This is not just me talking — take it from Nina Dobrev, who often finds herself working behind the scenes on her friends’ profiles. During our video call, the Canadian actor and former FASHION cover star shares that she’s never made an online dating account for herself, but she’s drafted messages and curated photo selections for many of her pals. “We have too many shirtless selfies, like, we’ve got to narrow this down,” is a common critique she gives to her guy friends while examining their profiles. “No girl really cares that much.” (Thank you, Nina, for doing the Lord’s work.) Built on the foundation of judging someone by their appearance, it’s no secret that dating apps can make it hard to form genuine connections. This is the premise of…

November 05, 2021 at 04:22PM As the makeup artist for BeyoncĂ©, Priyanka Chopra and Naomi Campbell — just to name a few — Sir John barely needs an introduction. Since the A-list can’t seem to book him fast enough for their red carpet appearances and other special events, we made sure to ask him all about his top tips for the best holiday makeup for dark skin tones, especially when it comes to making your re-entrance on the party circuit. Prep your skin for makeup that glows “This is the best time to start layering. Use an essence to prep the skin and balance your skin’s pH so you can layer on more hydrating products. After that, use an emollient cream or serum depending on your needs. Lock everything in with a face oil. I wasn’t always a huge fan of oils, but…
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…

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.

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…
