How Olympian Sarah Nurse Keeps Her Skin Looking Good on the Road

March 17, 2022 at 11:30AM Sarah Nurse first popped up on most Canadians’ radar (and that of hockey fans worldwide) at the 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. It didn’t hurt that she scored the winning goal against Team Canada’s perennial rival, the United States, during their preliminary match-up. Nurse and her teammates would ultimately go on to bring home a silver medal after losing the gold medal game in a tiebreaker shootout with the United States. Even more national headlines followed when Drake gave her a shout-out in a congratulatory Instagram story. However, as any decorated athlete knows, the road to Olympic glory isn’t all proud headlines and dreamy DMs. Even though Sarah Nurse has been skating since she was three and has collected several accolades, including a gold medal at last year’s IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship, she still…

Has Fashion Finally Found its Sense of Humour?

March 17, 2022 at 11:30AM For the third look of her Spring 2022 show, Puppets and Puppets creative director Carly Mark sent headwear resembling giant blocks of Emmenthal and Parmesan down the runway, and, no, this was not an early April Fool’s joke. A proud Midwesterner (born in Detroit), the designer told Vogue she sought to make “her own artisanal Green Bay Packers cheesehead.” But the assortment that followed on the catwalk perhaps warrants more of a tacky tablescape comparison, as models earnestly sported tinsel scarves, fruitpatterned shirts, bags decorated with croissants and dresses accentuated with tea saucers. Puppets and Puppets.

Fashion, it would seem, has a new…

Bilal Baig Teases Romance and Fun for Sort Of Season Two

March 17, 2022 at 11:30AM Bilal Baig moved into a new apartment in Toronto a few months ago and apologizes for “the mess.” But there isn’t much visible on my computer screen, even when Baig takes me on a video tour. They show me the yellow walls in the living room, purple in the kitchen, and the art by Harmeet Rehal and Meera Sethi they haven’t had time to hang because Sort Of, the CBC and HBO Max original comedy written by Baig and Fab Filippo, has been renewed for season two and shooting starts this spring. Photography courtesy of CBC/Keri AndersonSince launching last fall, the show has been hailed for breaking barriers – from its normalized portrayal of trans people to Baig being the first queer South Asian Muslim actor in a Canadian primetime series. Unlike that other CBC show with an…

The Chic Mango Coat Alexa, Gigi, Sienna and Katie All Own Is Back In Stock

March 17, 2022 at 08:38AM Alexa Chung is just one celebrity who has worn a specific Mango coat of late. Few things make the Who What Wear team speechless, but when we spotted not one, not two, not three, but fourstylish celebrities wearing the same Mango coat, for a moment, we were legitimately lost for words. Of course, celebrities wearing high-street isn’t a one-off phenomenon—those whose looks we’re going to break down today have certainly worn their fair share of affordable buys in their time. But seldom do we see several celebs all opt for the same piece and wear it within a matter of days of each other. Gigi Hadid wears a Mango coat with split-hem leggings and lace-up boots. Mango’s coats have been incredibly strong this season, but never before have they been given so much attention from the A-list. Katie Holmes was the first celebrity…

French Women Are After This One Style of Jeans Right Now

March 17, 2022 at 08:00AM If there’s one thing we know to be true about French women and fashion, it’s that they love to keep an unfussy wardrobe. Key pieces they always have on standby include a perfect white shirt, a well-tailored black blazer and classic black heels. They also love their jeans. But we’re not talking about any old denim style. Our columnist Marissa Cox told us back in September last year that since she moved to Paris, she discovered that French girls love straight-leg jeans. And while we’re sure no Parisian woman is going to ditch those anytime soon, we’ve got new intel that says French girls are now loving another style. According to data from Lyst, the global fashion search platform, high-rise wide-leg jeans are the exact style French women—in particular, Parisian women—can’t get enough of right now. In fact, searches…

Hair Experts Reveal the Styles Women Over 50 Love

March 17, 2022 at 08:00AM When it comes to our body, time takes its toll on just about all of it. And although we know all too well what ageing does to our skin, when it comes to other areas of our beauty regimens, age is rarely factored in. From swapping in serums that tackle fine lines and wrinkles to acid treatments that work against age spots and pigmentation, products that cater to ageing skin seem to be everywhere. But what about our hair?It turns out that besides going grey, ageing can affect our hair in a number of ways. From thinning to dryness, the ways in which our hair deals with getting older means that as time goes by, we may need to change up our routine. And one of the most effective ways we can do that is by trying out…

The Boring Item That Is Suddenly Selling Out Everywhere

March 17, 2022 at 08:00AM Over the past few years, there has been a growing appreciation for classic items that are resistant to fickle trend cycles. There are a number of factors that have contributed to this shift, including the collective drive to create a more timeless, hard-wearing wardrobe in order to slow down our consumption combined with the pandemic, which means we are all wearing more practical and simpler outfits. Many of the cult buys for 2022 are actually items that have been hero purchases for decades and so will have a permanent place in your wardrobe. One item, in particular, that is selling out rapidly across the high street this month is monochrome striped jumpers. This is an item that will always be popular, and in particular, we love knits that combine cream and black and have an oversized fit. Celine is partly responsible for making…

This Is What the Perfect Skincare Routine Looks Like, and It’s Really Simple

March 17, 2022 at 08:00AM If you started the New Year wanting to be more regimented with your skincare routine, just know that you’re not alone. A new year, after all, marks a time for change and resolution. For many, an effective and considered skincare routine acts as the perfect way to feel pulled-together and in control.The downside to skincare-related New Year’s resolutions, however, is that it is very easy to fall at the first hurdle. A seemingly quick and innocent search for skincare advice will only leave you bombarded with an abundance of oftentimes conflicting information on all things cleansing, serums, retinol, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, moisturiser, SPF and so on.With so much information out there, we don’t blame you if you’re feeling a little bamboozled. You see, we beauty insiders can all too often get caught up in the nuances and forget to address the real…
