I Made It My Personal Mission to Track Down Yara Shahidi’s Gorgeous Printed Cover-Up

July 28, 2021 at 05:22PM In addition to offering vacation wardrobe inspiration in season four of Grown-ish, Yara Shahidi kindly does so in her free time. The famously stylish actress and two-time Adidas collaborator recently shared photos from a family vacation in Anguilla, where she wore a gorgeous cover-up that I found myself researching in record time. Presumably put together by stylists Jason Bolden and John Mumblo, who she tagged, Yara’s brightly colored swimwear look consisted of a red printed string bikini and matching tassel-adorned sarong, all by Tory Burch. Yara accessorized with a gold necklace and classic pair of hoops. Shop the breezy look ahead.

Here’s Why I Ditched My Stay-at-Home Sweatpants (Almost) For Good

July 28, 2021 at 04:35PM It took me years to fully appreciate sweatpants. Up until 2020, I only owned one pair from high school, and I wore them almost exclusively as pajamas. If they ever did see the light of day, it was only while I grabbed a package off of my porch or took out the trash. I just didn’t understand their appeal. Sure, they were comfy, but they also made me feel a little lazy, like I wasn’t putting enough effort into my outfits. So pajamas they stayed. Then, the pandemic hit, and I was stuck at home with nowhere to go. Ads for sweatpants started popping up everywhere. They were the ultimate fashion item of 2020 - warm and comfortable, they became a go-to while we waited for much of the world to open back up again. I had to…

24 Crochet Pieces to Add to Your Summer Wardrobe

July 28, 2021 at 02:49PM When we think of crochet, we might think of our mom’s or grandma’s favourite pastime. But with granny chic and a ’70s vibe in the air the past few seasons, crochet pieces have become a summer staple. The handmade quality lends a charming, precious feel, whether you’re going for an allover floral or a whimsical accent. Airiness and breathability are major pluses when it comes to warm-weather dressing, not to mention the comfort of crochet’s flexibility and drapiness. From sun-drenched beachside hangs to glamping under the stars, these handmade works of art can be worn everywhere. Valentino, Bottega Veneta and Ulla Johnson all featured crocheted looks on their Spring/Summer 2021 runways, and the trend continues on for fall with thicker yarns made out of wool instead of cotton. Meanwhile, indie brands such as The Series incorporate vintage and second-hand…

Canada’s New Governor General Wore an Indigenous Ensemble To Her Inauguration

July 28, 2021 at 02:31PM It’s foolish to pretend things are back to normal in Canada. Yes, indoor dining is available. Yes, retail is once again allowed to open its doors. But since May, the country has been grappling with the (reawakened) history of residential schools and discovering hundreds of unmarked graves buried under former sites across Canada. In such a time of grief and sadness, a very welcome bright light has been the inauguration of Mary Simon as Canada’s first Indigenous Governor General. As the Queen’s newest representative — and technically Canada’s head of state — Simon addressed the senate on July 26th with a powerful speech encouraging Canadians to keep looking for the unmarked graves and confront their past head-on. View this post on Instagram   A post shared by CTV News (@ctvnews) Mary Simon’s heritage was at the forefront of…

The Sell-Out Top of the Summer is Finally Back in Stock

July 28, 2021 at 12:42PM Typically, we have to do a bit of digging before we stumble across a trending item in its early stages of fame, especially when it’s a specific design from a specific brand. However, over the last few weeks, we haven’t had to look very hard to notice that a certain short-sleeved shirt from Matteau is seriously hitting the big time. It has a loose fit, off-white colourway and subtle botanical print, and so many of the chicest individuals on our Instagram feeds have worn this simple summer staple. And, of course, now it’s all we can think about. The shirt has been sold out for months now, but we are happy to announce that is finally back in stock at Matches and is fast becoming the cult buy of 2021. All we can say is thank goodness for email alerts: all the key platforms i.e., Browns, Net-a-Porter and Matches that stock the style…

July 28, 2021 at 11:51AM The Who What Wear take on autumn/winter 2021’s top fashion trends has been curated just like any other season: it is, has been and always will be entirely grounded in what you’re going to want to wear. You can consider this is your ultimate edit and a checklist to keep referencing, rather than a vast, overwhelming, never-ending stream of runway pictures and examples of unrealistic looks that won’t/don’t translate into the majority of wardrobes up and down the country. It’s a gargantuan task, but someone’s got to do it, and who better than a team of editors known for their ability to not only decode trends but predict them too?Traditionally, the darker, colder months are a time for cocooning, but I think we can agree that we’ve all had our fill of that.

Everyone I Know With Amazing Skin Uses This One Scientific Product

July 28, 2021 at 08:00AM From bakuchiol to CBD, 2021 has already seen it’s fair share of trending skincare ingredients, and I’ve tried them all. From overcoming my resistance to retinol to embracing a more pared-back approach to my skincare routine, I love experimenting to work out which ingredients are truly worth putting on my skin.There’s one key ingredient, however, that I’ve wholly neglected to sing the praises of this year. Despite using it every single day in my own routine, this ingredient has been somewhat overlooked in favour of the buzzy new launches that have been leading the way. Yet ask anyone with amazing skin which scientific ingredient it is that they swear by, and I guarantee it will be this one.The ingredient in question? Vitamin C. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C might not be anything new, but it’s certainly a bit of a wonder ingredient if you aren’t…
