October 14, 2021 at 02:12PM The goal of any brand is to predict what its customers want to buy before they even realise it. This might sound simple, but in reality, it’s anything but. Nowadays, trends can change exponentially, making it harder for designers to keep up with our ever-changing wants and needs. Thankfully, some brands aren’t giving in to fleeting trends and are instead creating pieces with appeal that endures for more than one season. Cue 12 STOREEZ. If you were to type “12 STOREEZ” into our WWW Slack search bar, you’d see endless exchanges between our editors professing their love for the brand and spotlighting all the pieces they are seriously impressed by. So tempting as it may be to keep a secret, we thought it was high time we shared 12 STOREEZ’s chic style with you. Although it might be a relatively…

October 14, 2021 at 12:00PM You can’t deny that Victoria Beckham is on it when it comes to looking ahead to trends. The coming spring/summer 2022 runways were all about bold, saturated hues. And VB is very much into this look too. This past week, she’s showcased a selection of fabulous outfits that indicate she’s very much behind the dopamine dressing trend. First it was the green Victoria Beckham dress she modeled on her Instagram account, then it was a red jumper paired with yellow trousers and a green bag outfit, then yesterday she was spotted in a bright red one-shoulder fitted dress she wore with matching red heels, and black bag and her signature oversized sunglasses. Ready to see what we’re talking about? Keep scrolling to see all the outfits VB has worn this week and how to wear similar looks too. Style Notes: A one-shoulder fitted dress…

October 14, 2021 at 08:00AM Within the ever-colliding stratospheres of fashion and beauty, “rules” have become a bit passé, if not obsolete altogether. Gone are the days when we’d refuse to wear white after Labor Day or dismiss navy and black as an ill-conceived colour pairing. Currently, we feel inspired to dye our hair a demurely shocking shade of lavender. A hot-pink eyelid is cooler than yesteryear’s smoked-out cat eye, and we’re even experimenting with crystal-studded manicures and cute-but-clashing polish shades. Our point? It’s an exciting time to be in fashion and beauty, and more so than ever before, our hair, makeup and fashion aesthetic reflect that.Hair, especially, has been the comeback kid of 2021. Previously old-fashioned styles like the mullet have been artistically resurrected, and we currently own more scrunchies, hair claws and butterfly clips than we did circa 1999. Impressive. That said, one…

October 14, 2021 at 08:00AM Out of all the fashion staples in our wardrobe, the coat is probably the item that worked the hardest last year, and something tells us the same will be said for 2021. As we enter September, while we are no longer in full lockdown, the humble coat will inevitably become an essential part of our style arsenal, whether we’re relishing our new-found freedom with dinners out, chilling at home or trekking into the office for the first time. Luckily, the new season is set to usher in a host of outwear trends that combine both form and function.The elevated puffer is, of course, sticking around and is surely one of the warmest things you can throw on on a chilly November morning, but this year they come with more streamlined quilting which is perfect for layering. There’s also plenty of colour via the saturated shades that hit the runway at Prada…

October 14, 2021 at 08:00AM I’m pretty lucky. Not only do I have a job where I get to experience, write, and learn about the newest and most exciting products, treatments, and trends hitting the beauty industry, but I also get to interview and get to know the artists and experts who execute and create them. That said, I also feel lucky to have a beauty-loving, 73-year-old makeup artist mom who I can consult about anything and everything. (My poor father never gets a word in when we have a family catch-up call. Sorry, Dad!) Being a 73-year-old product junkie and also a Tucson-based makeup expert who specialises in educating older women about makeup and skincare, my beautiful mum knows a thing or two when it comes to choosing the best products for mature skin. Oftentimes (but not always), when I try to foist my favourite…
