Post category:TB

September 22, 2021 at 06:40PM I’m obsessed with loungewear- there’s really no other way to put it. Whether it’s scouring Amazon for their latest cute sets or scrolling my Instagram feed for inspiration, basics I can relax in are my most purchased product. I recently tried a new brand called Pact, a clothing company focused on producing affordable, sustainable, quality clothing, and I have to say–I’m impressed. Pact has tons of amazing clothing options, but keep scrolling to see the products I can’t stop wearing on repeat. I’m a sucker for pajama sets, and I typically add them to the top of my holiday wish list every year. I tend to opt for sets that offer tanks and shorts-because I get hot while sleeping-and I found the perfect set with Pact’s Flirt Hem Sleep Set ($36). The first thing I noticed was the…

September 22, 2021 at 06:19PM Visual storytelling is a powerful tool — and thankfully, it’s no longer just for the pros. Apple’s upcoming iPhone releases — iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max — are designed to make creating epic visuals that much easier. The new lineup is available September 24, and includes the brand’s biggest camera advancements ever. Sarain Fox, an Anishinaabekwe activist, filmmaker and content creator from Batchewana First Nation, was one of the first people in Canada to test the new iPhones. Fox tells FASHION about the inspiration behind the stunning visuals she captured, some tips on how to use the new iPhone cameras, and the power of storytelling. Capturing the beauty of Indigenous womanhood Fox recently headed back to Batchewana First Nation on the rugged shores of Lake Superior to visit her mother…

Vegan Corn PancakesSeptember 22, 2021 at 05:00PM A delicious and whole grain recipe for corn pancakes made with cornmeal and topped with sweet or savory toppings. Fun fact! C and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary this year. WOAH. We’ve been married for 3 of those years but we started dating when we were 21. At the time I was living in NYC and C was living in Montreal…yes we started out long distance! Every time C would come visit me in NYC we would go to my favorite restaurant which served the most delicious corn pancakes. In fact, the restaurant still exists! Highly recommend you check out Coppelia on 14th street if you’re craving delicious Cuban food. Because we’re coming up on a decade I’ve been thinking a lot about those early years and while I definitely have no desire to…

We Can’t Get Over These Fierce Charlotte Knowles Pants, Spotted on Ciara and Lori Harvey

Post category:TB

September 22, 2021 at 04:37PM Every now and then, two or more celebrities are spotted wearing the same item of clothing, which tells us it should immediately be on our radar. The latest It-design to hit celebrity street style? A slinky pair of Charlotte Knowles cutout pants from the fall 2021 runway. Ciara and Lori Harvey, both trendsetters in their own right (just look at Ciara’s Met Gala dress or Lori Harvey’s date-night looks), are known to stir conversations about their personal style. The singer and model looked fierce in the London-based label’s daring creation, while living their best lives (Ciara on a baecation in Italy, and Lori out and about in Los Angeles). The duo might have been spotted in the same designer pants, but they definitely made them their own. We love the way they dialed up the sexiness with equally…

Lady Gaga Was the First to Score Valentino’s Vaccinated Hoodie – but She Won’t Be the Last

September 22, 2021 at 03:56PM Fans of Lady Gaga and Valentino were probably quick to notice the (V) Vaccinated hoodie she wore in late August to promote her beauty campaign for the label. The video posted to her Instagram feed was a quick peek at one of the five sweatshirts created by street wear brand and pop culture sensation Cloney, with a riff on Valentino’s “V” logo. Originally, only five were created, all of which were bought by creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli himself to distribute among friends. But Piccioli has chosen to carry out the trend and recreate his own version for valentino.com, with all net profits donated to UNICEF in support of the organization’s global COVAX program. “Getting vaccinated has become the most effective way to fight this global pandemic, as well as a symbol of respect for others and social responsibility.…

Inside Josie Ho’s Hat-Filled Wardrobe

September 22, 2021 at 02:30PM Sometimes I’m afraid to show my huge personality,” says Josie Ho. “I feel like I might speak the wrong word during conversations, but I’m slowly growing out of it.” It’s an unanticipated statement coming from someone who exists in the extroverted orbit of entertainment. But Ho — a singer, film company co-owner and actor whose appearance in this summer’s period drama Edge of the World cemented her status as one to watch in the cinematic sphere — seems to relish in surprising others. Photography by KIUPerhaps that’s why she has such an enormous assortment of hats; they allow her to bounce from one personal character to the next with ease. And glamour and intrigue have been part of her life all along. As the daughter of a casino magnate, Ho recalls observing how Hong Kong’s “show business divas…

5 Pieces I’m Now Obsessing Over After Cos’s London Fashion Week Show

Post category:TB

September 22, 2021 at 12:08PM ‘Twas the last day of London Fashion Week and COS was the last show on my schedule. With a FROW packed-full of editors, buyers and Instagram’s finest minimalists (oh hello Brittany Bathgate and Alexis Foreman), anticipation was high as the lights were dimmed and the catwalk illuminated. All I can say about the styling was: wow. Clean-lined, classic and achingly chic, this show was dangerous for my bank balances. You honestly couldn’t distinguish it from the designer runway looks we had seen the day before. While I wanted everything that hit the catwalk, there were a few highlights that truly stuck in my mind, including a very Prada-like cobalt blue tailored coat, a pair of slouchy tailored trousers that looked incredible layered under shift dresses, and the most beautiful silken shirt dress that weightlessly skimmed the runway. I have basically taken a mental picture of all the looks and…
