5 Products Every 40-Something Should Start Using, According to Skin Experts

December 18, 2021 at 06:00AM It’s no secret that the skin’s ageing process differs from person to person. While some people might start forming wrinkles in their late twenties, others might remain youthful and wrinkle-free until they hit 50. Skin ageing is a fact of life, and while genetics and lifestyle choices might delay the effects, at some point, it will catch up with you. And for most of us, this happens at some point in our forties. “Unless you’ve struggled with a specific skin condition like acne or psoriasis, during your twenties and thirties, you skin is likely to have been ticking along nicely, living off its own elasticity and hydration,” explains skincare specialist Jane Scrivner.So what exactly happens when we hit our forties? “It’s time to start replacing what your skin is losing during the ageing process. Your forties are the time to put…

This Bra-Size Calculator Is a Thing of Genius

December 18, 2021 at 05:01AM Without the help of our bra-size calculator below, finding out (and updating) your bra size can be a time-consuming and downright annoying thing to have to do. There are loads of great places you can visit to get your bra fitted (and I do venture afield, as you’ll see below), but the truth is that it’s super important to keep checking. Our bodies change fast (weight can fluctuate and our figures shift all the time), and wearing the wrong size bra can be rather damaging to your breast tissue. So although we would always recommend getting fitted properly, it is a great idea to be able to scope out your own bra size from home until you can fit the time in your schedule to get it done properly. That way, you can be on top of things when…

My Job Is to Spot Trends Before Anyone Else—These 6 Will 100% Go Viral in 2022

December 18, 2021 at 05:00AM I rarely venture out of Manhattan, but this weekend, I took a trip with some friends upstate to do some apple picking and sale shopping (the perfect fall day). When we arrived at the mall, my heart soared as I saw so many people wearing and shopping the trends that I had predicted just one or two years ago. Since I tend to keep to quieter parts of New York City, I rarely come across such a large crowd, and my analytical fashion brain was doing its scanning. I felt reminded of the power of trend-spotting—it’s fun to watch something come down the runway and subsequently catch a glimpse of fashion insiders wearing it, and then finally being submerged in crowds dressed up in seemingly Jacquemus-inspired knits and Celine-level tailoring.My little weekend trip inspired me to come home to my fashion editor crystal ball and see…

Carrie Pairs a Fendi Baguette Right Alongside a $45 Canvas Tote, the Definition of High-Low

December 17, 2021 at 09:45PM “I was looking for a $7 dress to go with my $300 shoes,” Carrie memorably tells us in an early episode of Sex and the City, because a closet full of Manolos she may have, but Bradshaw knows something about thrifty fashion. That aesthetic is expertly carried through in And Just Like That… via costumers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago, and if ever there was a high-low style moment to post alongside a primer on the subject it’s Carrie’s look in episode four of the new series. True to form, Carrie emerges from her downtown brownstone, swathed in a tulle skirt and a rainbow-striped off-the-shoulder tee. It’s a classic Carrie look, down to the glittering purple Fendi Baguette - a limited re-edition of the beloved ‘90s style she carried on the original show - tucked under her arm…

Bored of Beige? Here’s How to Incorporate Colour Into Your Wardrobe This Season

December 17, 2021 at 09:00PM The fashion world can broadly be divided up into people who love colour and those who feel most comfortable in soft beiges and muted tones, and it’s fair to say that the fashion gods have not looked kindly upon the former crowd over the last few years. Thanks to designers such as Nanushka, Toteme and Lemaire, the world has become awash with head-to-toe camel-coloured ensembles and biscuit-toned basics, which were not only embraced in the summer months but also proliferated across autumn and winter.While I will always have time for the expensive-looking power of earthy hues, I’ve recently experienced a serious case of beige fatigue. This is saying something because I am firmly in the colour-ambivalent camp, and have to force myself to add notes of colour into my wardrobe of navy, brown and black. However, over the last month,…
