Katie Holmes’s Winter Outfits All Revolve Around These 5 Basics

January 01, 2022 at 06:02AM For most of us, winter is about sensible investments and, generally speaking, isn’t a time to experiment with bold trends or anything impractical. Winter items need to be about quality and reliability, and so this means many of us tend to lean on classics that you can wear for decades. Katie Holmes is the best example of the benefits of assembling a timeless winter capsule wardrobe; whenever we clock her out and about in New York City, she reliably sticks to an arsenal of simple but elevated items—the very sort we’d like to populate our wardrobes with. She has quite a minimal aesthetic when it comes to winter dressing and sticks to a neutral colour palette with camel, mushroom, grey and navy, and has been playing with proportions with oversized coats and chunky knitwear. All in all, her looks make for a…

January 01, 2022 at 06:00AM Getting married in 2022? Congratulations! Your nuptials are officially this year. Now, either the thought of that fills you with excitement, or it fills you with mostly excitement, but also a little dread.

I’m sure I’m not the first person to tell you to ‘enjoy the process’ but really, you only do it once and if anything goes wrong no one will even notice!

Yes, we’re only one day into 2022 but our day to day jobs here involve a lot of scrolling through social media, a lot of scrolling through street style and a lot of scrolling through the new season’s catwalks.

Editors & Influencers All Agree— This Is the Place to Buy Knitwear

January 01, 2022 at 05:00AM If you’ve seen an influencer or fashion girl on your Instagram feed wearing cute knitwear recently, there’s a high chance it’s from American Vintage. The thing is, you might not have even noticed, because this understated brand isn’t about loud & shouty designs. There’s hardly any instantly recognisable prints or unique details— but that’s exactly what makes it so covetable. Instead it’s one of those ‘if you know, you know’ quiet luxury brands that produces classic investment pieces that stay in your wardrobe forever. Despite its name, American Vintage is actually a French brand— which may explain why it does capsule staples so well. The wider collection includes everything from wool coats to simple dresses and perfect T-shirts, but it’s the knits and loungewear that fashion people have cottoned onto recently. The cardigans in particular are excellent— coming in a range…

The One Shoe Style All the Coolest Girls Will be Wearing This Year

January 01, 2022 at 05:00AM 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…

Friday Faves

Friday FavesDecember 31, 2021 at 05:36PM Hi friends! Happy Friday and Happy New Years’ Eve! What are you up to this weekend?? Any fun plans for tonight? We’re meeting up with some friends for a family party (kids + adults) and spending the rest of the weekend cleaning up Christmas (wah) and getting ready to go back to school/life etc.  I feel like I’ve been completely lazy all week this week… and it’s been pretty glorious. Our house is a disaster, we’ve been sleeping in every single day, and I’ve been living the pajama life. The past month was extra busy and it felt good to enjoy some quiet, calm, and some non-productive times after all of the craziness. I feel rested and ready to get back into it next week! It’s time for the weekly Friday Faves party! This is where I…

How Tarot Cards Can Help You Get a Handle on 2022

December 31, 2021 at 04:00PM Intrigued by tarot? “Tarot is an extremely helpful introspective tool for those who are open to exploring themselves and the energies that they’re working with,” says Canadian clarity coach Chris Corsini. We spoke to Corsini to understand how can tarot card readings can help us take on the new year, so we can step into 2022 with purpose and intention. (Learn what’s in store for January 2022 with our astrological forecast.) What are the benefits of tarot? Tarot assists with “shadow work,” essentially, examining the parts of ourselves we don’t like or were taught not to like because of societal, religious or cultural norms. “Once you start exploring tarot,” says Corsini, “you can begin to question those things. You start asking yourself: do I believe this? Is this something I still stand by?” Note: Tarot is not fortune…

January’s Astrological Transits Could Set the Tone for Your Year

December 31, 2021 at 02:00PM The new year is here and — based on my astrology predictions for January 2022 — things are about to get interesting. After a year of focusing on inner alignment and manifestation, I decided to ditch the New Year’s Resolutions I would’ve drafted in the past and turn inward. It’s taken 27 years, but I’ve finally realized that motivating myself by writing a list of fixed goals (like “read 30 books,” or “exercise twice per day”) is more “gaslight, gatekeep” than “girlboss.” Instead of the brute-force method, I’m opting for an intuitive approach to goal-setting this year — and using the planetary retrogrades to my advantage. In January 2022, the astrology forecast is calling for a Venus retrograde, a Mercury retrograde and a Mars transit. While the internet views astrological transits as the source of all breakups and…
