February 22, 2022 at 09:35PM Olivia Rodrigo went playful and romantic for her 19th birthday, wearing an all-pink silky outfit to ring in the last year of her teens. The retro-inspired look included a black lace-trimmed camisole set, separate pink sleeves, and a matching midi skirt that read “Eat Me Please, I’m So Delicious.” The singer’s Nφdress ensemble evoked ‘90s nostalgia, a core part of the brand ethos established by founder Luqi Yu. With designs like an argyle skirt set, the Central Saint Martins student adds a modern, youthful spin to classic staples from the era. Rodrigo’s vintage-inspired look also featured a cowboy hat that read “birthday girl,” a silver necklace with a locket pendant, and towering black Mary Jane heels, which according to the Instagram account @oliviarodrigocloset, are from Naked Wolfe. Since her AMAs debut gown, a sequined lilac feather-trimmed design by…

February 22, 2022 at 07:48PM In a surprise move, one of the most noteworthy beauty lessons to come out of London Fashion Week Fall 2022 was that you may not have to worry about styling your hair at all next season. The prolific parade of headwear that was seen in all forms on the runways, from jovial extra-wide brimmed hats to moody hoods and balaclavas, practically guaranteed that bad hair days need not be feared any longer. Those not yet ready to cover their coif à la Richard Quinn, Ahluwalia and Erdem can dip their toes into the accessory waters with a headband, as seen at Eudon Choi and Roksanda. If it’s your makeup brushes you’re ready to take a break from, bare faces continued to be the trend du jour at shows including Christopher Kane, David Koma and Nensi Dojaka. But on…

February 22, 2022 at 07:05PM With the amount of shopping sites out there, finding pieces that fit your personal style can sometimes be challenging. You have to do major digging to uncover unique brands that are perfect for you. Then came a new online shopping platform, The Yes; the site quite literally lets you click “yes” or “no” on pieces, and the more you click, the smarter the algorithm becomes in picking clothes, shoes, and accessories that are perfect for you. You can also select your favorite brands and preferred sizes, so you won’t even see items that aren’t available with your specific preferences. My fellow shopping editor Krista Jones and I put The Yes to the test for a month, and we both agree it’s incredibly useful and fun to shop on. Each of our feeds looks significantly different because we have…

February 22, 2022 at 05:10PM Megan Fox draws sartorial inspiration from many different sources, among them the Euphoria characters and most recently, the Bratz dolls. Yet, she brings her unique brand of sexy to each trend, whether it’s a cutout gown or a skintight lavender cutout top with matching tailored trousers. The actress recently made an appearance at the 2022 NBA All-Star Game with fiancé Machine Gun Kelly, wearing an orange animal print suit featuring high-waist trousers and a long blazer. Of course it wouldn’t be a Megan Fox outfit if there wasn’t a bold spin. If you look closely, you’ll notice that the pants feature a daring waist cutout - in line with the 35-year-old star’s affinity for 2000s-inspired trends. Fox dialed up the allure further with a tiny black bandeau visible under the long blazer, baring her midriff. Surely, longtime stylist…

Mejuri x Jenna Lyons is the Must-Have Collab for Minimalists

February 22, 2022 at 04:26PM Mejuri and Jenna Lyons are a match made in minimalist heaven. Lyons herself was a 2010s tastemaker, and as J. Crew’s president and executive creative director, her personal style was the beating heart of the American retailer until her departure in 2017. Approachable yet sophisticated, Lyons’ wardrobe blurred the lines between casualwear and formalwear (I mean, she wore bejeweled J. Crew pajamas to the 2015 Met Gala!). And over the years, she’s attracted a cult following not unlike that of Mejuri. Noura Sakkijha co-founded the Canadian brand in 2015 with the idea to create fine jewellery fit for everyday wear. Most importantly, her direct-to-consumer model that targeted women was, then, quite revolutionary. Like Lyons, Sakkijha reimagined the possibilities of her industry. So, it was only a matter of time before two paired up. Allyson Felix. Photography courtesy of…

February 22, 2022 at 04:10PM Yellow has always signified warmth and happiness, making it the perfect colour to inject into your spring wardrobe. This season, designers such as Prada, Courrèges and Sergio Hudson showcased plenty of yellow-hued pieces on the runway.

Mixing and matching different shades of yellow can pose a fun challenge for those who are feeling brave. Or…

Easy Hoisin Garlic Salmon and Coconut RiceFebruary 22, 2022 at 10:00AM Rushed for dinner but still want a healthy meal? This Easy Hoisin Garlic Salmon is quick, simple and pairs perfectly with my one-pot coconut rice. For a full meal add some sautéed garlic green beans on the side. Want to know the one thing I miss about living in California? The fact that there was always something in bloom. I became a diva about my produce and miss having endless seasonal, local produce to play with in the kitchen! Now we live in Minnesota and know what it’s like to eat frozen strawberries 10 months of the year and squash as your main source of vegetables during these cold winter months. It’s important to embrace your culture and get creative, but also celebrate when the seasons turn and more variety appears. Unlike California,…

This In-Salon Service Is My Go-To Hairdressing Treat– Here’s Why

Post category:TB

February 22, 2022 at 10:15AM I am obsessed with my natural hair texture. I love how voluminous it can look and how versatile it is to style but what I don’t always love is how tedious it can be to care for. When my hair was relaxed, years before I grew it out it was way less healthy but ultimately it was super easy to style. No matter how lazy I was feeling or what the weather was doing I didn’t have to worry or think about it twice. And I miss that. Not enough to start relaxing again but enough to start to try out temporary straightening treatments to alleviate the need to style my hair at home. Which is when I started booking in for a silk press.Simply put, a silk press is a salon services where natural Afro-textured hair is straightened thoroughly, giving…
