February 14, 2022 at 10:30AM We all know the feeling, right? The feeling of cutting away loose threads at the start of a new year, keeping things fresh and ridding all aspects of your life of anything that doesn’t serve you anymore. I definitely do this at the start of every year and especially when it comes to beauty and fashion. I donate a bunch of clothes, narrow down my skincare regimen, clean my makeup brushes and, most importantly, book in a haircut. Not a trim—which you should be getting every three to four months anyway—an actual cut, a restyle, a fringe, lobbing off the lengths.So I spoke to some of my favourite hairstylists to determine which trends will be inspiring my friends’ and my cuts this year. A statement haircut isn’t for the faint-hearted, but it’s oh so worth the plunge, and it’s more adaptable than you think. “A…

February 13, 2022 at 06:23AM Whether you’re a pro on the slopes or your priority is raclette and fondue, there’s no disputing that getting dressed for the slopes is fun. I mean, it has to be, right? Before you even start skiing, the whole experience is exhausting. Just walking in those heavy boots is a week’s worth of squats, and that’s before you even try to carry your skis. But if there’s anything that will get me enthusiastic about an activity, it’s a cool wardrobe.That said, technical skiwear is an investment. After all, expert technology goes into developing each garment to ensure it’s warm, waterproof and durable at the same time, which is why it’s no surprise ski-clothing rental is one of the biggest areas of growth in the fashion rental market right now. Specialist site Blanqo recently launched with a concise edit of stylish…

February 14, 2022 at 08:00AM The skin around your eyes is very delicate and thin, so you want to be gentle with it. That means using the right products and avoiding rubbing, scratching, or pulling at the area. Because that area is so sensitive, you might also find yourself dealing with things like dark under-eye circles, dryness, and puffiness. The latter part is one thing I’ve been dealing with a lot lately, so I went to a dermatologist for some answers.In fact, puffy eyes are one of the most common concerns that patients bring to their dermatologists, says Kathleen S. Viscusi, MD, FAAD, FACMS, co-founder and partner at Dermatology and Surgery Specialists of North Atlanta (DESSNA). Treating puffy eyes is a bit more complicated than you would think. “Effectively addressing this concern for each patient is much more variable. Just as there isn’t…

February 14, 2022 at 08:00AM Over the past year, we have experienced somewhat of a nail frenzy. While makeup and hair used to give us our aesthetic kicks on Instagram, in 2021, we noticed a dramatic shift in the sorts of things the beauty set were paying attention to. Nails used to be considered beauty’s annoying little cousin that no one really wanted to play with. Doing our nails was a chore and nail art was reserved exclusively for in-salon acrylics.Nowadays, however, nails are king. We spend hours scrolling through Instagram, saving down all of the cutest nail ideas that come our way so that we can show them to our nail techs. And while nail trends used to be limited to simple shades and finishes, thanks to the internet and calibre of artistry out there, what we’re now dealing with is forward-thinking, super-creative styles that…

February 14, 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…

February 14, 2022 at 07:33AM As one of the many celebrities who love Pilates and attend classes in L.A. multiple times a week, Hailey Bieber is often photographed going to and from her workouts wearing leggings. And naturally, her legging outfits are just as stylish as the rest of her enviable wardrobe.As we’ve pointed out numerous times before, Hailey Bieber is an excellent celebrity to follow for trend inspiration, as she often sets the trends (or at least becomes an early adopter of them). Take her recent legging outfit from a few days ago, for instance. Bieber paired her Alo leggings with a trendy pair of flatform sandals from celebrity-favorite brand Gia Borghini, coined the Gia 1 Slides. Since Gia Borghini came onto the scene, not a season has gone by in which at least one of her styles isn’t an It shoe. The Gia slides are new for spring…

February 14, 2022 at 08:00AM Platform boots have been back in our regular wardrobe rotation for a while now, and we’ve even had a warm weather version in platform flip flops. So it makes sense that something a little fancier would be next, especially since the comfort of the pandemic is now being exchanged for nights out again. A platform heel is, it turns out, the perfect transitional shoe to get us all used to dressing up again. But for 2022, it’s not the humble ‘70s platform that looks set for yet another comeback. It’s actually the stompy mary-jane that has caught the eye of the coolest girls around, and you can bet they’ll all be wearing them this year.In fact, many of our favourite fashion girls have been spotted in platform mary-jane heels already, from Camille Charriere to Susie Bubble and Lucy Williams (keep scrolling to see…
