Timothée Chalamet Unveils a Collaboration With Haider Ackermann For a Good Cause

December 22, 2021 at 09:58PM In some much-needed feel-good news, TimothĂ©e Chalamet and designer Haider Ackermann, whose looks the star has memorably favored on the red carpet, teamed up to design a hoodie that raises awareness and supports efforts to fight the humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. The actor and activist took to Instagram to share the news on Wednesday, posting a picture of himself outfitted in the new design, alongside Haider, with a caption that read: “So for a couple of years now @h.a and I have been wanting to make something. Together, in August, we were horrified to learn of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan and decided to design a hoodie where 100% of the proceeds will go to @afghanistanlibre : a relief organization with boots on the ground that fights to safeguard women’s and children’s rights - as those atrocities…

In Defense of Carrie’s New Clothes

December 22, 2021 at 08:20PM If you were watching Sex and the City (or tuned into the reruns), you were likely showing up as much for the fashion as you were for the sex. We watched to see what Carrie Bradshaw was wearing the way we scroll through Instagram in the age of influencer fashion. Carrie gave us outfit inspiration that was both high fashion and also down to earth, a brand of high-low authored by Patricia Field, who famously helmed the wardrobe for the original series. It’s the eclectic hallmark of Carrie’s style and every woman who attempted to emulate it. Fortunately, the reboot delivers on the fashion front again (though am I the only one waiting for the sex to kick in?). With Molly Rogers, a longtime colleague of Field’s, and Danny Santiago behind the costumes for And Just Like That,…

2021’s Triumphant Return of Celebrity Couple Dressing

December 22, 2021 at 06:25PM From Meghan Markle and Prince Harry to Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, we’re going to come right out and say it: 2021 had some of the best celebrity couple fashion moments of all time. Matching couples’ fashion is important for a celebrity duo to nail (both the real-love relationships and the ones just for publicity), because it demonstrates a visual connection between two people. Each coordinating couture moment highlights a cohesion between a famous duo, a shared aesthetic that reminds you “we’re rich, we’re hot, and we’re in love”. These sartorial matchy-matchy moments are non-verbal signals that they’re status is “together,” an aesthetic celebration of a harmonious union and a way to build the new couple’s synergized brand (#couplegoals). As we look back at 2021, here are some of the famous couples who won fashion. Continue Reading… Author Katie…

Everyone Asks Me Where I Got My Outfit When I Wear This Affordable Jumpsuit

December 22, 2021 at 05:30PM At this point in my life, I’m all about outfits that are versatile, comfortable, and stylish. However, it’s not always easy finding fashionable pieces that check all of my boxes. I’ve searched high and low for winning looks, and I’ve found that “instant outfits” like dresses and rompers are some of my best options. While anything with a shorter length is perfect for the warmer months, in the colder months, I always turn to jumpsuits, because I can find options with long pants as well as long sleeves. I usually purchase a new one every season, and this season, I made my favorite purchase yet: Old Navy’s Long-Sleeve Cropped French-Terry Utility Jumpsuit ($55). As soon as I saw it online, I knew it was going to be a piece I wore over and over again. I’ve already worn…

Lana Ogilvie’s Modelling Journey Inspired Her Organic Skincare Line

December 22, 2021 at 03:58PM Lana Ogilvie started her modelling career at 17 and moved to NYC soon after, where she quickly appeared on the covers of Vogue, Marie Claire and Elle and in endless campaigns, including Ralph Lauren, Bergdorf Goodman, DKNY, Victoria’s Secret and Guess. We asked the industry veteran about how her 30 years in the business inspired her self-care journey and planted the seed for eventually launching her own skincare range, Lana Ogilvie Cosmetics. You were the first person of colour to be signed to CoverGirl. How do you think the modelling industry has changed or not changed enough, in recent years? Certainly in regards to representation, everyone is trying to be more inclusive. It’s not necessarily equal representation, but more inclusive representation. You may have a certain number of white models in a shot along with one Asian or…

Queer Symbolism is The Matrix’s True Legacy

December 22, 2021 at 03:18PM Like many other kids of the ’90s, Myriad Augustine was a fan of The Matrix. But as a trans, non-binary person, their connection to the film series meant something different. Augustine knew their gender didn’t match with the gender assigned to them at birth, but as a child, there was little to do about this realization. That changed in 1999 when The Matrix, in all its sci-fi splendor, presented a new reality. “Even when I was very early in figuring out my own identity, there are things in the movie that resonated,” Augustine says. The Matrix’s queer significance runs deeper with its fourth installment, The Matrix Resurrections, which premiered Dec. 22. Photography Courtesy of Warner Bros. PicturesThe dystopian series — set in a world where AI-powered machines have seized control and trapped humans inside a simulated reality — has inspired academic…

Winter Break Activities with Kids

Winter Break Activities with KidsDecember 22, 2021 at 11:11AM Hi friends! How’s the week going? We’re off on a little staycation – check out my IG stories for pics and adventures! – but for today’s post, I thought I’d share some fun activities to do with the kids while they’re home for Christmas break.  Insert MAJOR sigh of relief and all the cheer for Christmas break. I love having the kiddos home, and especially love zero alarms (except for the days I have to teach), slow mornings, and seeing where the day takes us. Our weeks are pretty busy around here between school, gymnastics and dance team, horse lessons, and soccer, so having a couple of weeks off lovely. (Not months off. I’m not putting that out into the universe.)  While I still have to work while the kiddos are home, I’ve been…

Spring/Summer 2022 Trends: The Only 17 Looks You Need to Know About

December 22, 2021 at 04:00AM I am so excited about S/S 22’s fashion trends. The overarching mood was one of real optimism, but where the previous season perhaps went into overdrive with the desire (desperation?) to get dressed up for even the most low-key of weekly grocery shops, the outlook for S/S 22 is that there is a time and place to be extra fabulous but still a strong demand and a necessity for easy, simple, luxurious, gorgeous clothes and outfits you can fling on in a hurry. There are places to go, people to see and the many ensembles to suit. So while on the one hand there’s a very clear shift towards revealing, ultra-sassy, cut-to-here-and-slashed-to-there kind of dressing, there’s also a very chic, understated antithesis at play. It speaks to a modern shopper’s whims and natural inclination to change one’s mind. Some days you might channel Rosie…
