From Meagan Good’s strapless cutout gown to Kerry Washington’s floor-sweeping pink high-slit design and Issa Rae’s sweetheart-neckline train dress, the soft, romantic hue was seen on a variety of silhouettes and in several shades, proving just how versatile the trend really is.

These Old Navy Jeans Magically Adjust to Your Body Shape

February 26, 2022 at 05:05PM Shopping for jeans is no easy feat, especially when your size varies significantly from brand to brand. At some stores, I’m a size 6, while at others, size 8 is too snug. Team that with the fact that my weight fluctuates throughout the year like everyone’s does (it’s v normal, y'all), and I find myself tempted to steer clear of purchasing new denim altogether. But recently, while perusing Old Navy’s jeans section, I came across the brand’s “FitsYou” style that fits three sizes. The technology sounded game-changing, so I couldn’t help but look into it further. The debut “FitsYou” style is the Extra High-Waisted Rockstar Super Skinny Jeans ($45, originally $55), which come in four different washes and one ripped design, all featuring a contoured extra high-rise waistband. So how does the multi-sizing work? Well, per the brand,…

The Ordinary Gets into the Hair Care Game + More Beauty News

February 26, 2022 at 02:30PM The Ordinary Hair Care is here Photography Courtesy of The OrdinaryThe internet’s favourite beauty rebel is finally bringing what they do so well in skincare (scientific formulas, utter transparency and excellent prices) to your hair routine. One of the biggest messages sure to turn heads is the brand’s pro-sulfate approach. In recent years, beauty fans have turned against the ingredient (which creates lather but is also thought to be overly drying to the hair), however The Ordinary’s stance is that it’s still the key to effectively ditching dirt and sebum when used in the correct concentrations (instead of, say, as the first or second ingredient). The hair care line from The Ordinary contains a shampoo (with 4 per cent sulphate) that can also be used on the body, a light conditioner and a post-wash hydrating scalp treatment with…

The Best Spring Dresses I’ve Spotted So Far This Year

February 26, 2022 at 01:05PM One of the things I always love the most about this season is abandoning the many layers (so long, puffer coat!), and revisiting my dress wardrobe. New-in sections are helping me indulge in my dress daydreaming, as every day is bringing with it new summery items to scroll through.Floral tea dresses and check midi dresses are hardly groundbreaking, but these throw-on styles always sell out at record speed. For the past few years we have all gravitated towards dresses with plenty of chuck-on appeal, however with offices re-opened and events back in the diary, there are also lots of more playful options for 2022. Think lime green silk, very pretty pleated midi dresses and wedding-ready florals. There are 28 dresses in particular that I think will be a welcome addition to any wardrobe this spring. Keep scrolling to see my edit of the best dresses I’ve…
