November 02, 2021 at 10:46AM Kate Middleton is no stranger to skinny jeans outfits. In fact, they seem to be her casual attire of choice—likely because they look polished and classic, which describes her aesthetic in a nutshell. She’s particularly fond of black skinny jeans, and those are what she wore today in Scotland during the United Nations Climate Change Conference.In addition to her black skinny jeans, Middleton wore a black turtleneck, combat boots, and one of 2021’s most casual winter trends: a quilted vest. Hers is an oversize green vest from Ganni, a brand that has excelled at making quilted nylon outerwear cool. Quilted nylon vests may be trendy this season, but they’re also quite functional.

November 02, 2021 at 08:00AM The topic of dark circles within the beauty industry is one that has frustrated me for as long as I can remember. You see, I came into this world sporting an impressive pair of purple rings underneath my eyes. I have spent most of my life batting off concerns from people that I look tired, drained and unwell. Honestly, I’m fine. It’s just my dark circles.For many, dark circles don’t come about because of lifestyle choices. Sure, things like dehydration, lack of sleep and a poor skincare routine can worsen the situation, but for people like me, dark circles are permanent fixtures. Elizabeth Hawkes, consultant ophthalmic and oculoplastic surgeon at the Cadogan Clinic, explains, “The term ‘dark circles’ is used to describe increased pigmentation of the under-eye and is a very common concern. The skin around the eye is unique. There…

November 02, 2021 at 08:00AM Six years ago, my family experienced a huge scare when my then 65-year-old mom was rushed to the ER in order to receive an emergency cardioversion—aka a medical paddle used to restart her heart. The day before the trip to the emergency room, we’d been travelling, and my mom (who has since discovered she has an extreme sensitivity to sugar) had a pumpkin spice latte and an almond-filled French pastry for breakfast and then later on after dinner a small vanilla ice cream cone. As she explains, it was enough sugar (at least for her) to send her heart into atrial fibrillation, or an uneven heart rhythm.“As scary as the experience was, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise,” she tells me. “I banished heavy sugar doses from my diet and noticed that my skin started…

November 02, 2021 at 08:00AM From bobs and lobs to braids and full fringes, there are so many amazing hairstyles out there that it can be hard to know where to start if you’re looking for a little pre-salon inspiration. So here’s my suggestion: the A-list. With access to top hairstylists and trending hair products, celebs are constantly stepping out in hairstyles that give me major strand envy. But by switching up their hair as often as we change our t-shirts, choosing a favourite style can lead to an inevitable fall down an Instagram rabbit hole.To make things easier for you, I’ve rounded up some of my favourite celebrity hairstyles ever—37 to be precise—to make your next trip to the hairdresser a little easier.Keep scrolling for the best celebrity hairstyles.Alexa's classic lob hairstyle is a trademark in its own right, and I’d hazard a guess that…

November 02, 2021 at 08:00AM There are some shoe trends that become popular, peak, then go away for a decade or longer. Others only fade away for a few seasons before making a big comeback. Since the start of the year, we’ve been predicting another cowboy-boot craze, and it looks like that craze is finally upon us. We think this one could even be big enough to eclipse the previous cowboy-boot craze of 2018. For starters, the A/W 21 runways of heavy hitters like Isabel Marant were overrun with cowboy boots. Retailers’ new arrivals also include tons of cowboy boots at various price points. And very influential celebs like Kendall Jenner are already wearing them amidst the dog days of summer.Jenner was recently photographed out in Malibu wearing loose, cream-coloured jeans, a cropped tank top and two-tone, vintage Western boots. We love the idea of wearing cowboy boots under loose jeans—a change from previous seasons when they…

November 02, 2021 at 08:00AM Ever since I became aware of my hair back in high school when I finally retired my beloved slick ponytail, I’ve lamented my fine, thin locks. And after becoming a beauty editor, it’s become my mission to find out which haircuts are best for feigning the look of fuller, thicker hair. Here’s what I’ve learned: it’s all about the optical illusions your stylist creates in addition to how you care for and maintain your cut at home.Ted Gibson is one of the most well-renowned hair stylists in the industry—which is no surprise when his client list reads like a who’s who of celebrity royalty. From Angelina Jolie and Lupita Nyong'o to Anne Hathaway and Gabrielle Union, Gibson has tended to the tresses of some of the biggest names in the business. And he was more than happy to give me the…
