Post category:TB

September 10, 2021 at 06:00AM For all its failings, Instagram remains an unending source of fashion inspiration for me. Yes, there’s always a risk that our wardrobes become a physical manifestation of a social media algorithm, but if we can resist the temptation to copy and paste our style, there are so many feeds that can spark creativity. Case in point: It was during one of my scrolling sessions that I came across a simple autumn outfit pairing—baggy jeans and a blazer—that had me rooting through my wardrobe in an attempt to re-create it that very day. The best thing about this look is that many of us, myself included, may well have the components for it already sitting in our wardrobes. For me, this manifested in a pair of baggy jeans from sustainable denim brand Boyish thrown together with an old checked blazer and white tee from Arket. It’s all about embracing that slouch. Disarmingly simple, yes, but…

September 10, 2021 at 06:00AM One of the most common misconceptions about short hair is how time-consuming the styling and upkeep can be. Turns out it’s a myth as old as time, and we’re here to put an end to it. Just like some long hairstyles can look lifeless when not styled, so too can shorter hair. But opting for a shorter style doesn’t mean you’ll be glued to your stylist’s chair every week. In fact, the right short haircut for you will depend a lot on your texture, the condition of your hair and your lifestyle. For instance, if you have very curly hair, then opting for a sleek bob will require a lot of heat and therefore way more in-salon treatments to repair and restore your strands.“Every head of hair is different, so it’s important to have a thorough consultation with your stylist on the easiest upkeep for…

September 10, 2021 at 06:00AM Whether you’re a shoe hoarder or a jacket fanatic, a dress lover or a bag addict, it’s safe to say that there is an independent brand to cater to your wardrobe needs.Thanks to word of mouth and the power of social media, theever-diversifying fashion industry is finally allowing niche labels to come to the fore. Big brands don’t have a monopoly over the landscape, as many customers are wanting to invest in original design and lesser-known styles. Sadly, some of these labels have been hit by the global pandemic, and as a publication, we’re doing our very best to support the talent we love in any way possible. That’s why we’ve dedicated our end-of-month shopping gallery to these independent brands. Honestly, we were spoilt for choice, and we wish we could include every brand we came across online (although that would turn into a long article), but we managed to…

After surprising fans on September 7 with an announcement that she is expecting her second child with boyfriend Travis Scott, Jenner debuted her baby bump in the chicest way possible: at New York Fashion Week.

September 09, 2021 at 10:14PM Gigi Hadid recently reveled in the most stylish mom jeans moment of the summer, but she might have just one-upped herself on the Moschino runway. The supermodel, who’s close friends with Creative Director Jeremy Scott and has made many appearances for the brand before, closed the show in a single-sleeved, animal embroidered patchwork dress that came in baby blanket fabric. The entire “Ladies Who Lunch” collection was inspired by children’s toys, in fact, featuring everything from colorful bangles reminiscent of take-along teething rings and teddy bear earrings to handbags that technically double as beach pails and letter blocks. Gigi, who’s a new mom to daughter Khai, was given the honor of toting along a baby bottle ahead of the finale, which she posed with, twirled with, and pretended to take a sip of - towering platform sandals be…
