Frank Ocean Launches Luxury Jewelry Brand Homer, and the Accessories Are Out of This World

August 12, 2021 at 04:13PM American singer-songwriter Frank Ocean has officially made his foray into fashion. The new independent designer has launched luxury accessories brand Homer, which includes fine and high jewelry pieces and printed silk scarves all handmade in Italy. The designs you see with diamonds were lab grown in America, and 18K gold, recycled sterling silver, and hand-painted enamel make up the rest of the details. All of Ocean’s pieces were inspired by childhood obsessions and heritage as a fantasy, and he chose the name Homer to represent “carving history in stone,” according to the company’s press release. At the current time, Homer can only be purchased in the New York City shop, located at 70-74 Bowery, New York, NY, and all in-store appointments must be made on the website. To celebrate the first collection, Ocean got behind the camera and…

Whistles Just Recreated Rachel Green’s Iconic Mint Dress—And I’m Obsessed

August 12, 2021 at 12:27PM Call me a millennial cliche, but I’ve been a Friends fan for just about as long as I can remember. I’ve watched Ross and Rachel break up and make up and break up again, and hummed along to Phoebe’s Smelly Cat more times than anyone should. I don’t consider myself an expert on many things in life, but when it comes to Friends (and of course fashion) I can confidently say, I know my stuff. So you can only imagine the sheer delight I experience when those two subjects collide. And this week has provided a moment of exactly that.Those who have seen the series umpteen times, like me, will remember “The One Where No One’s Ready.” And those who are fashion inclined will recall in particular the stunning mint green dress Rachel wears in the episode. It is a…

25 Stunning Haircuts Celebs in Their 50s Always Ask For

August 12, 2021 at 08:00AM We’ve encountered enough badass women in their 40s, 50, 60s, and beyond to know that there are tons of outdated clichĂ©s about aging. Gone are the days where women are pressured to dress a certain way the second we hit age 40 or stop wearing our favorite makeup. (Although, there are formulas that work better for mature skin.) The general attitude around aging has seen a major shift for the better in recent years, and there’s a sense of liberation that’s come along with it that we absolutely love. While the number of years we’ve been on this earth doesn’t have to control our lives, there are, indeed, some unavoidable shifts that come up the further along we get, including changes to our hair. For this reason, many women start to consider different haircuts by the time we hit age 50.“The hair sometimes tends to…

Well Done, H&M—I Want Everything From Your Latest Drop

August 12, 2021 at 08:00AM I love a good bit of minimalism in the summer. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not averse to bright colours, but there’s something so chic about wearing muted tones in the heat. This year, as I won’t be heading overseas or to anywhere that actually has hot weather (thanks, British summer), I want to pretend I’ll be on the beaches of Ibiza or the Cote d'Azur, and H&M’s latest summer collection is going to help me do just that. Full of floaty dresses and loose-fitting tops, I plan on wearing these items from now until September. But I’m not a total lunatic, so I’m also eyeing up the slub-knit tops and the chic tailored blazers because as AndrĂ© 3000 says, “You can plan a pretty picnic, but you can’t predict the weather.” For anyone who’s lost with their summer wardrobe, I…

I Speak to Dermatologists Every Day—These Are the Brands They Always Recommend

August 12, 2021 at 08:00AM The best thing about being a beauty editor is that I get the opportunity to speak with some of the world’s top beauty experts basically every single day. From celebrity makeup artists to Harley Street surgeons, I am forever picking the brains of experts in a bid to learn everything there is to know about beauty. And while picking up different makeup tips and tricks is wonderful, the one thing I am always most fascinated by is the sort of products skin experts swear by.There’s no doubt that shopping for skincare can be daunting and often frustrating, and not just because of the abundance of choice. All too often we are let down by miracle claims that don’t live up to their promises. And while most medical skin experts and dermatologists insist that if you have serious skin concerns, you should always seek…

Your Lingerie Is Over the Second You Do This

August 12, 2021 at 08:00AM Over the years, I’ve accumulated quite a nice collection of lingerie, had multiple bra fittings and received quotes from some of the biggest experts in the industry on the dos and don'ts of lingerie across the board. Most of these rules are easy enough to follow, except for one (at least for me). During my most recent lingerie fitting for a story I wrote on what it’s like to wear lingerie sets for a week straight, the saleswoman assisting me told me that if I’m not storing my lingerie properly, I’m basically killing it, not getting my money’s worth, and so on and so forth.Instantly I switched into panic mode as I realised all my lingerie was currently stuffed in my drawer along with the rest of my five-for-ÂŁ20 underwear and random assortment of sports bras. In other words,…

These Gen Z Jewellery Trends Are All I Want to Wear Right Now

August 12, 2021 at 07:00AM As someone who spent most of their pocket money on mood rings, tattoo necklaces and plastic bangles during the late ‘90s and early ’00s, I’m here to tell you that most of those trends are back thanks to Gen Z. The Y2K trends that have made a comeback among 20-somethings and teens are often nostalgic and sometimes scary for those of us who experienced these trends the first time around. But I think I might be missing the point. After carefully examining the Gen Z jewellery trends currently booming, I realised that they all have one major component in common: joy. That’s right—in the face of quite a weird 18 months, these jewellery trends so loved by the younger generation are actually incredibly fun, which is exactly what we need right now. And I’m more than happy to embrace the nostalgia coming…
