I Gave These Old Navy Jeans a Day to Get Used to My Body – Now They Fit Like a Dream

September 20, 2021 at 07:30PM With fall quickly approaching, it’s time to take a look at our denim wardrobes and try on each pair of jeans from seasons past to see which pairs get to be put in rotation this season. As someone who will reach for a legging over a jean any day, my 6'2", size-18 self is very selective about what jeans I choose to wear. If I’m not comfortable, I’m not happy. So when I found out that I would be able to give Old Navy’s Extra High-Waisted Button-Fly Curvy Sky-Hi Straight Jeans for Women ($50) a try, I was curious to see if these jeans would actually hug my curves and become a pair of jeans that I put into my fall wardrobe. Keep reading to find out how what once felt like a battle to close these jeans…

Jordyn Woods’s Sheer Birthday Dress Is Made of Crystals and, Well, That’s About It

September 20, 2021 at 06:05PM There are sheer dresses, and then there’s Jordyn Woods’s birthday dress in a league of its damn own. While celebrating her 24th trip around the sun over the weekend, the model and socialite wore the be-all and end-all of see-through dresses - like, we’re talkin’ ZoĂ« Kravitz at the Met Gala levels of see-through here, people. After her original look didn’t come together in time for the party, Jordyn snagged a showstopping Area dress made entirely of draped crystals and, well, that’s about it. She opted out of wearing a slip underneath, instead wearing neutral underwear and a set of pasties. With help from stylist Antoine Kelly, Jordyn accessorized her head-turning dress with silver hoop earrings, a bedazzled Chanel purse for even more glitz, and princess-worthy Amina Muaddi pumps that rivaled Cinderella’s glass slippers. Take a closer look…

Canadian Talent Tops the Emmys Best-Dressed List

September 20, 2021 at 05:14PM One year after Schitt’s Creek’s historic award show sweep, Dan Levy, Eugene Levy, Annie Murphy and Catherine O’Hara reunited on the 2021 Emmys red carpet, and the internet (understandably) lost its mind to see the beloved Rose family together again. With an outpouring of Tweets and happy tears, the iconic cast once again got to shine — and this year they weren’t the only Canadians to do so. View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lesley Hampton (@lesley_hampton) Devery Jacobs, star of the Indigenous-led comedy Reservation Dogs and an Emmys presenter, wore not one but three Canadian designers to the event. Channelling her inner ethereal goddess, Indigenous-Canadian designer Lesley Hampton created a custom sheer gown for the occasion. The actress paired it with a Knix bodysuit and earrings by Indi City.

Flourless Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars

Flourless Pumpkin Chocolate Chip BarsSeptember 20, 2021 at 11:22AM Let the avalanche of all things pumpkin begin. I feel like this year, a lot of people are playing it cool when it comes to pumpkin. You know, trying not to act *too* excited about its arrival. (Also it could totally be the fact that many of us are still experiencing true summer weather.) And then, there are people like me who have already enjoyed a PSL (or a few
.), and upon seeing the shelf of pumpkin-filled cans at Trader Joe’s, I did the slow-mo run to them, arms wide open, and a creepy smile on my face. I just can’t help myself. While the Pilot doesn’t go crazy for pumpkin at all, I gave birth to two pumpkin-obsessed little friends, who share my enthusiasm for this festive gourd. Flourless Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars…

Victoria Beckham Just Wore the Coolest Jeans Outfit

September 20, 2021 at 09:52AM Victoria Beckham isn’t showing on the London Fashion Week schedule this season, which means we won’t see the usual VB outings in and out of hotels and meetings in the lead up to her show. She might not have the LFW deadline this weekend, however she is still busy in the studio working on her final spring summer 2022 collection and last week she shared a picture of reviewing her looks. But it’s her outfit I’m most interested in, as she managed to make jeans and a sweatshirt look polished and so very ‘Posh.’ She wore her own namesake 'Victoria’ jeans which are very high-waisted and have a flare and distressed detailing. She then tucked a grey sweatshirt into the waistband, and tied it together with a black leather belt. It’s the accessories that make this look however, as…

The Cult Moisturisers Meghan Markle, Rosie HW, and J.Lo Actually Use

September 20, 2021 at 08:00AM A good cleanser might be the foundation of any successful skincare routine, but finding the right moisturiser can take your skin to the next level. While celebrities might have access to the very best facials and skincare experts in the business, there’s no doubt that most of the A-list have seriously good skin, and a lot of that will be down to the moisturiser they slather on daily.Although there are celebrity exceptions (Emma Stone reportedly loves olive oil, while Pixi Geldof swears by argan oil), a little bit of digging proved that basically all our favourite celebrities were loyal to one moisturiser. Ranging from ÂŁ13 to ÂŁ350, there’s a whole mix of price points and skincare solutions here, but keep scrolling for the very best moisturisers that the likes of Meghan Markle, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Victoria Beckham actually use.After Alexa’s favourite…

Hair Experts Say These Will Be the Biggest Hair Trends for Autumn

September 20, 2021 at 08:00AM While most of us are still desperately clinging to the final weeks of summer, industry experts have their sights firmly set on the season ahead as they make their predictions for the biggest autumn trends in the worlds of beauty and fashion. And with so many trending hairstyles emerging in 2021 already, I was particularly keen to find out what’s in store for our strands as we head into autumn. “In summer, we all love to experiment with our hair, trying out different styles from braids to beachy waves and opting for shorter haircuts that are less maintenance,” says Callum Standen-May, creative stylist at Bond Shoreditch. “However, in autumn, some of us can find it difficult to find the right hairstyle or cut that will continue to look healthy throughout the colder months.”All of the experts that I spoke to stressed that adding a nourishing hair mask or strengthening treatment to…

We’ll All Be Dyeing Our Hair These 5 Colours for Autumn, According to Stylists

September 20, 2021 at 08:00AM It isn’t just a change in season that autumn’s arrival marks—it’s a change in mindset too. For me, when it comes to beauty, the shift from summer to cooler climes has me instantly drifting towards hibernation mode and that means focusing on a more nourishing skincare routine (cleansing balms and hair masks are my current beauty BFFs), and embracing deeper hues in my makeup bag in the form of classic berry-toned lipsticks and grungier nail colours.When it comes to hair, though, along with the inevitable turn to the dark side, celebs and fashion girls have been stepping out in a spectrum of fresh colours for autumn 2021. My go-to hair salon, Muse of London, is taking inspiration from the kitchen cupboard with a spice rack-inspired menu of hair colours for autumn, from turmeric to paprika. While editorially we are…
