20 Cool Hairstyles That Are Perfect for Summer

August 06, 2021 at 06:00AM Honestly, I’m not really sure whether summer is officially here or not. In London, we seem to have settled on a climate that’s not too dissimilar to what I imagine living in a tropical rainforest would be. It swings between bright sunshine and intense downpours, and is certainly not conducive to good hair days (for me, at least). Nevertheless, there’s plenty of amazing summer hair inspiration to be found right now, so think of this as a wish list for not only your hair but also for the glorious summer that might still be to come.From low ponytails decorated with the prettiest hair accessories to artfully dishevelled buns for major cool-girl vibes, summer’s hottest hairstyles are all about having fun. Unlike the more elegant wedding guest hairstyles that are trending right now, summer styles are effortless, fuss-free and look…

August 06, 2021 at 06:00AM What do you wear when the summer heatwave is a distant memory, yet the chill of autumn hasn’t quite set in? Or when the temperature gauge is reaching 20ºC, but there’s little to no chance of it escalating into the 30s? Yep, there's always that moment in between seasons when dressing becomes a bit of a guessing game, and you are guaranteed to end up alternating between sweaty mess and shivering block of ice over the course of one day. Luckily, & Other Stories has just dropped the answer to our fashion prayers in the form of its Paris Atelier Pre-Fall 21 edit.  For us, the secret is smart layers: Think shirts, jeans, insulating jackets, the odd summer dress and a versatile selection of shoes that stretches from loafers to sturdy boots. & Other Stories has certainly ticked all of the above boxes with its latest edit, which includes…

22 Outfit Ideas I Have Really Loved This Week

August 06, 2021 at 06:00AM There’s nothing quite like the inexplicable satisfaction of a really good outfit. Sometimes it can be hard to put your finger on what it is exactly that makes something work: It could be a clever colour combination, an unexpected silhouette, or even a subtle trim on a pair of trousers. As a fashion editor, it is my job to keep an eye out for these winning ensembles. It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. We even have a channel on Slack that is literally dedicated to great outfits, and boy, are there plenty to choose from. This story is essentially a line-up of all the fabulous outfits that have been given the Slack-channel seal of approval. I find that the looks that stand out to me are often relatively simple in composition but pack a punch via colour, print or fabric. Tonal dressing is the perfect example…

In Memoriam: Guru Jagat, A Wildly Modern Wellness Leader Who Empowered OthersAugust 05, 2021 at 11:19PM The truth is, it’s our first story of this kind on TCM. Appropriate, as kundalini teacher, Guru Jagat was the first of her kind as well. It was with heavy hearts that we received the news of Guru Jagat’s passing this week, an unexpected complication from a recent surgery. Our hearts go out to her loved ones and the @ramainstitute community who will undoubtedly carry on her legacy of kindness, holistic living and personal empowerment. Guru was one of the most unique female figures in wellness today, especially here in L.A. She encouraged so many to reach beyond normalcy into personal power and joy. A unique contributor to our wellness community that we will miss dearly. “Many things to say but for now — hold each other…

Grilled Halloumi with Sumac-Dusted Stone Fruit Salad

Grilled Halloumi with Sumac-Dusted Stone Fruit SaladAugust 05, 2021 at 11:00AM We’re looking for any excuse to eat more peaches, nectarines and plums this season and we’ve found just the recipe that’ll let us binge on stone fruits in the best way possible. Seasonally inspired FIG Restaurant in Santa Monica - known for its impeccable cocktails and in-the-know locals’ happy hour - has mixed up its menu with a new Mediterranean vibe we can’t get enough of. At a recent dinner to try out their new wood-oven-centric eats, we were so focused on this sumac spice-dusted stone fruit salad we barely left room for dessert (the horror!). This simple dish is all about sumac - a fiery yet sweet-smelling spice made from dried berries (which give sumac its rich red color). Its sour, citrus-like taste makes sumac a flavor staple in Mediterranean recipes, and enhances the sweetness of stone fruits like…

Let These Celebrity Outfits Remind You That Red Carpet Fashion Is Back and Better Than Ever

August 05, 2021 at 09:30PM If you ever needed a sign that red carpet fashion is back and better than ever, here’s the post. Over the past week, we’ve seen so many celebrities serve up high-fashion ensembles that make us want to find a gown and throw it on. One such A-lister who has actually been giving us one fashionable look after the next over the past few days is the one and only Lady Gaga. One second she was looking chic in a pinstripe suit and the next she was wearing a Valentino cape dress that came with a feathered headpiece and wild sunglasses. (What can’t she wear, am I right?) Blake Lively also made her first red carpet appearance in a long time wearing a sexy cutout Prabal Gurung gown to support her husband Ryan Reynolyd’s new movie Free Guy. Storm…

13 Celebrities Pulling Off Low Rise Jeans With Great Enthusiasm For the Throwback Trend

August 05, 2021 at 09:20PM We can still see J Lo rocking the silhouette on the red carpet with Diddy, Sophie Turner isn’t a fan of their resurgence, and Teyana Taylor has been collecting them left and right. Whatever your take on low rise jeans, we’re guessing you feel some type of way. While styles in the early 2000s might have been more fit and flare, we still define low-rise jeans as any slacks that sit at the hips below the belly button. Celebs and supermodels have lately been coordinating baggier jeans with going-out crop tops, such as corsets and bustiers, and sneakers, so as to keep it a touch casual. Ahead, we’ve rounded up 13 style stars who pull off the trend best in 2021, and may or may not inspire you to give it a go, too. Related: Celeb-Favorite Fashion Brands…
