How to Wear Painful Heels This Holiday Season (Without Dying)

December 24, 2021 at 02:30PM The long-term effects of high heels on the body are well-documented, ranging from foot damage to chronic pain. I didn’t even need to know that, however; just the temporary pain of wearing killer heels for a night out or even sensible heels all day at work was enough to make me slowly dial back on my high heel addiction. These days, I work from home and one of the best side effects of that is the freedom to wear comfortable shoes (or no shoes at all) every day. Now I rarely wear high heels even when I go out, opting instead for a fun pair of sneakers. However, once in a while I do break out an old favorite pair of heels for an important meeting or a special occasion, like the upcoming holiday season. Unfortunately my time…

19 Hairstyles That Prove Gen Z Are Right About the Excellence of the Middle Part

December 24, 2021 at 08:00AM As a millennial beauty editor, I am often left a little confused (and sometimes infuriated) by some of the things I see on TikTok. Typically, messages that promote using lube as primer or using a banana to apply winged liner aren’t the sorts of things that fill beauty editors with confidence. However, when Gen Z took to TikTok earlier this year to brand side partings as “cheugy,” I wasn’t totally aghast. Personally, I think that flipping your hair over to the side is one of the simplest and most effective ways to elevate and volumise any look. However, I do have to agree that the middle part is a superior way to style your hair.As someone who spent most of her adolescent life straightening her side-parted fringe and spraying can after can of Batiste into the roots to try to get some volume into my obscenely side-parted…

11 Reasons Victoria Beckham Looks So Amazing at 47

December 24, 2021 at 08:00AM I’m lucky enough in my job to have access to celebrity facialists, top beauty brands and the best experts in the industry, but I’ve noticed more and more that it’s A-listers themselves who are becoming all the more influential when it comes to serving up legitimately good beauty advice. Of course, celebrities like Beyoncé and Jennifer Aniston are surrounded by the beauty industry’s cream of the crop on a daily basis—from makeup artists to hairstylists—so it’s really no surprise that they’ve picked up some expert beauty tips along the way. There’s one celebrity in particular, however, whose skincare knowledge I trust more than most: Victoria Beckham.With her very own beauty line under her belt and a dedicated beauty reel of product recommendations and top tips on her Instagram, Beckham’s love of all things beauty is obvious. Her passion for products combined with how open she has…

The Coat Trends We Predict Everyone Will Be Wearing This Winter

December 24, 2021 at 08:00AM Out of all the fashion staples in our wardrobe, the coat is probably the item that worked the hardest last year, and something tells us the same will be said for winter 2021. As we enter November, while we are no longer in lockdown, the humble coat will inevitably remain an essential part of our style arsenal, whether we're jumping at the opportunity to go “out out,” chilling at home or trekking into the office for the first time. Luckily, the new season is set to usher in a host of outwear trends that combine both form and function.The elevated puffer is, of course, sticking around and is surely one of the warmest things you can throw on for a chilly November morning, but this year, it comes with more streamlined quilting, which is perfect for layering. There’s also plenty of colour via the saturated shades that hit the runways at Prada and Bottega Veneta. From…

Lady Gaga Wore the Sassiest Cut-Out Dress With Heels Only She Could Walk In

December 24, 2021 at 08:00AM When promoting a fashion movie, one must dress the part, which explains why Lady Gaga, who is currently doing press for Ridley Scott’s upcoming Gucci biopic House of Gucci, has been going all out with her style choices of late. Her most recent look was especially on point, with the “Rain on Me” singer donning a chocolate-brown, flossy, cutout dress that featured an extremely high slit up the right leg. Making the look even sexier, she styled the dress—by the just-launched label Et Ochs (founded by former Cushnie et Ochs designer Michelle Ochs)—with D'Accori sky-high platform heels and gold jewelry courtesy of Alighieri. She wore the barely there look to a London screening of the film, which is out November 24. That same evening, she debuted a very different, though equally perfect ensemble that included a brown, logo-covered Gucci dress and matching cape from the Italian house’s…

7 Interesting Winter Outfits You Can Wear for Your Weekend Walks

December 24, 2021 at 06:30AM As much as we’d like to pretend they haven’t, winter temperatures have well and truly set in. The mercury has dropped, and to be frank, it is well below what a summer-loving Australian like me is used to. I am in need of a heavy dose of winter outfit inspiration, as getting through the coming months will require a lot of planning. Where better to turn than Instagram? From images of cosy coats shot among fallen leaves to envy-inducing fluffy jackets and roll-neck jumper combinations, our set of fashion friends definitely know how to make anyone crave winter dressing. While winter might not be my season of choice, one thing working in its favour is the fact that it provides more opportunity to experiment with my wardrobe. The abundance of layers required to get through the day inevitably equates to an endless number of outfit combinations, and…

Why The Super Salon Will Be the Biggest Beauty Destination of 2022

December 24, 2021 at 06:30AM This year, beauty came back. After over a year (on and off) of not being able to visit our favourite salons, spas and clinics for our usual beauty pick-me-ups, their return was welcomed with open arms. Because sure, while learning how to do our nails, hair and waxing at home was fun for a little while, the truth is, going to the salon for a beauty treatment is an experience you just can’t recreate at home.Having said that, since beauty has opened back up, it’s safe to say that the way in which we want to spend our time has changed. Pre-pandemic, many of us wouldn’t have batted an eyelid at the prospect of running around town, hopping from salon to salon to tick off our beauty chores. Nowadays, however, we want convenience. Not only do we want to minimise the…
