H&M’s New Vegan Collection is PETA-Approved

October 26, 2021 at 08:32PM H&M’s recent sustainability push has earned the fast fashion retailer some moderate praise, and now it’s got the stamp of approval from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA. We know what you’re thinking: “Fast fashion” and “sustainability” in the same sentence reads like an oxymoron. But the global retailer has made legitimate strides towards eco-friendly clothing alternatives. In recent years, it has banned the use of fur, angora and exotic animal skins in its clothing, and does not accept wool from farms that use mulesing, a controversial practice of removing sheeps’ wool-bearing skin. In 2020, the Swedish brand topped the Fashion Revolution Transparency Index as the most transparent fashion company on policies like animal welfare, biodiversity, living wages, gender equality and supply chains, winning out against 250 fashion and apparel brands across the world. Most recently,…

On Monday night, the singer shared snaps on Instagram wearing a head-turning floral number seemingly inspired by Florence Pugh’s Dani Ardor in Midsommar. Covered in flower appliquĂ©s in various shades of gray, the ethereal Thom Browne dress came with a matching headpiece - all styled by Jason Rembert.

How to Manifest What You Want: A Guide for Skeptical Beginners

October 26, 2021 at 04:16PM Every year from October 1 to November 1, I like to take a break from my cynical, Seinfeldian personality and, you know, believe in something. I tell ghost stories, read about witches and take my nieces and nephews trick-or-treating to feel the familiar high of Halloween. I even rewatch cult-classic Disney films like Halloweentown and Hocus Pocus, desperately yearning to believe anything is possible on All Hallows’ Eve. With layoffs and lockdowns on my mind last October, I had a hard time believing in anything. Like the rest of the world, I was trapped in my apartment with no end to the pandemic in sight. My mindless social media scrolling soon turned into YouTube rabbit holes and deep dives. Somehow, between endless Phoebe Bridgers covers and box braid tutorials, the algorithm served up an animated video titled, “If…

Celebrity Hairstylist Bryce Scarlett Reveals How to Get Gorgeous Grey Hair

October 26, 2021 at 03:52PM Celeb stylist and Moroccanoil brand ambassador Bryce Scarlett is no amateur in creating photo-ready hair. After working with the likes of Margot Robbie, Brie Larson and Hailey Bieber, he’s learned a thing or two about making tired strands look luscious and shiny — which is exactly why we turned to him for the run-down on how to care for grey hair. Whether you’ve been rocking a platinum mane for some time, or are just starting to notice more greys, read on for his best A-list tips. Why does grey hair get brassy? While colour-treated blonde hair tends to go orange, grey hair tends to yellow. Grey hair lacks any pigment, so it can turn colour very easily with exposure to water, sun and other environmental factors. Eventually that builds up and your hair can start to look dingy.

Matcha Protein Bars Recipe

Matcha Protein Bars RecipeOctober 26, 2021 at 10:00AM Looking for a healthy and energizing snack recipe? Look no further than these Matcha Protein Bars made with a vegan, cashew base and matcha, coconut butter frosting for healthy snacking on a budget. My love affair with these matcha protein bars began when I was doing my 200 hour YTT and basically had to pack 3 meals a day + snacks for an entire weekend. We were in the studio Friday night, all day Saturday and all day Sunday. Not to mention the fact that we were doing yoga at least 50% of the time. All to say… we were HUNGRY. No matter how much food I’d back, my tummy would inevitably start rumbling and whenever we’d have a quick 10 minute break I’d run a couple blocks over to Urban Remedy and grab a…

The Last Night in Soho actor wore a custom floral print Richard Quinn catsuit that she cocreated with the designer for her interview on The Late Late Show with James Corden. Taylor-Joy completed the look with matching gloves and a black headband with crystal details. “Her boots are a part of her outfit. I thought that was so cool - I’ve never seen that before!” Ben Schwartz said to Corden about Taylor-Joy’s catsuit that extended to wrap around her shoes. “You designed this yourself, right?” Corden asked Taylor-Joy, to which she answered “A wonderful designer called Richard Quinn kind of, let me, help, a little bit. Just ideas, but he’s lovely!” After a few cheeky jokes, and a giggly chat about fashion with Schwartz, Taylor-Joy opened up about her…
