I Found the Strapless Bra I’ve Been Searching Over a Decade For

January 13, 2022 at 07:20PM Finding the right bra, no matter your bust size, can be a challenge. I have a small bust, and switch between wearing cami-like silhouettes, nothing at all, or cupped bras. Finding cupped or underwire bras for me can be difficult. Sometimes I’m a A or B cup, and sometimes I can’t fill them out at all. A few years ago, I tried the brand Pepper, who makes specifically designed bras for those with smaller busts, and it quickly became my go-to. The brand makes a wider range of sizes for every type of small bust. These extra sizes, and the smart design, helps it so you won’t get that annoying open gap up top. Its classic bra is one of my favorites, so to my delight, I couldn’t wait to try its newest MVP Multiway Strapless Bra ($60).…

January 13, 2022 at 06:53PM In the midst of Omicron, the CFDA and IMG released the official New York Fashion Week calendar for fall 2022, answering the question on everyone’s mind: is Fashion Week even happening? If you’ve also been wondering whether this season’s show would proceed as usual (though, what does “as usual” even mean at this point?), the first glimpse of the fall 2022 schedule, which will run from Feb. 11 to Feb. 16, shows many of the industry’s heavyweights, like Tory Burch, Brandon Maxwell, and Michael Kors, are returning with in-person runways, while others, like Area and Veronica Beard, are doing a hybrid of appointments and digital presentations. The CFDA’s announcement also included a health and safety note with strict guidelines for attendees to mask up and present vaccination cards for each venue. Here, take a look at the fall…

Texture Talk: The Best Hydrating Curly Hair Masks for Winter

Post author:CW Blog
Post category:TB

January 13, 2022 at 02:35PM As the seasons change, so too do our curls. The unforgiving nature of the Canadian winter means taking refuge inside our dry, heated homes and putting our curls (which spend the season sighting the friction of wintry accessories from toques to on-trend balaclavas) up into a protective style. The result? Dehydrated hair in desperate need of extra attention in the form of a restorative hair mask. Much like clothing is seasonally swapped in and out, your hair products should also rotate to match the outdoor environment. Elisha Gotha, owner of acclaimed Toronto curly hair salon The Curl Lounge, explains that the use of hair masks is particularly beneficial for curly hair due to its fragility, in comparison to other hair types. “We have a lot of natural broken bonds in our hair, which on a molecular level means…

Trying On the New “Carrie Dress” For Size, Sex Appeal, and Comfort

January 13, 2022 at 02:05PM And Just Like That costume designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago needed six samples of the blue Norma Kamali dress Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) wears in episode seven of the HBO Max hit series. It’s the look she chooses for her first foray back into the dating world (don’t pretend you weren’t wondering what she’d wear … ), and it’s not a bad choice. It’s formfitting, it works as a great piece to layer with, and it’s effortlessly sexy when teamed with a silver-foiled Max Mara blazer, Aquazzura jewel-strap heels, and Paco Rabanne snake-effect metal clutch. Wearing a “Carrie outfit” at any age emits that distinctive brand of mystique her character has become known for. “She really knew how to work the dress down that alleyway. The picture of that with the gold light behind her -…

January 13, 2022 at 09:00AM Congratulations are in order: Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly are officially engaged. Luckily for us, they recorded the whole thing on video, and it’s just too cute for words. During the proposal under a tree that holds a special meaning in their relationship, Fox was wearing a cutout bra top and black maxi skirt. You didn’t expect her to be in sweats, did you?Now for the best part: The huge engagement ring was custom-designed by Machine Gun Kelly with sweet symbolism. “I know tradition is one ring, but I designed it with Stephen Webster to be two: the emerald (her birthstone) and the diamond (my birthstone) set on two magnetic bands of thorns that draw together as two halves of the same soul forming the obscure heart that is our love,” he said in his Instagram caption. The double-stone ring trend is getting increasingly…

These 12 Fringe Hairstyles Are Making Me Want to Cut My Hair Short

January 13, 2022 at 08:00AM I have spent the past six years growing my hair back to waist length after I had a funny five minutes and decided to chop it all off in 2015. If you’re the sort of person who changes their hair every week, this might not seem like a particularly big deal to you, but having super-long hair is kind of my thing, so cutting it off at my shoulders was a really bold move. And while I liked it at first, my hair is very fine, and I found the need for daily styling a bit of a fuss. Needless to say, the novelty of change soon wore off, and I became wholeheartedly committed to growing it again. Six long years later, I’m now back in my comfort zone with my hair brushing against my lower back. But finally having my strands back…

Here’s What a Dermatologist Really Thinks About These 6 Viral Skincare Products

Post author:CW Blog
Post category:TB

January 13, 2022 at 08:00AM While social media can be a hub for all things fashion and beauty, skincare is a topic that can get a little tricky, especially when certain products start to trend. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been guilty of succumbing to a viral product only to be disappointed when it didn’t exactly work for my skin. While following trends for clothes and makeup can be an easier feat, with skincare, it’s crucial to be cautious because what works for others may not work for you, and some products may seem like they’re working but can actually cause damage and irritation later on. It’s important to pay close attention to the ingredients before purchasing a product and to consult an expert if possible, especially if you’re facing specific skin concerns. Since I’ve been seeing quite a few products circulate around social media that have…
