Carrie Bradshaw’s Funeral Dress Was a No Brainer For the Wardrobe Team – and Yes, It’s Vintage

December 10, 2021 at 04:22PM “I just want to get there before other people and make sure everything is the way I want it,” Carrie says on the phone before Big’s funeral as she sits down in her closet alongside a pearl clutch and a pair of white, caged leather pumps she had already laid out. It wasn’t a question what she would wear to say goodbye to the love of her life publicly in front of family and friends. Of course, as she, Stanford, and Anthony make their way through the doors and enter a stark white room with rows of chairs perfectly aligned, it becomes clear Carrie picked the only chic place for a funeral in Manhattan. It’s here that we take in her own version of a little black dress, hence the episode name - a teacup silhouette with an…

Friday Faves

Friday FavesDecember 10, 2021 at 03:25PM Hi hi! How are you? What are you up to this holly jolly weekend? We have an Elf party with friends – all the kids are wearing pajamas and watching Elf – a birthday party, I teach barre and train a few clients, and making tamales at my mom’s house. In my brain, it’s January already, but I’m trying to enjoy the last few weeks of this year as much as possible. I’d love to hear what you have going on! Obligatory yearly tree pic! This one is a GIANT – a 15-ft beauty. Soooooooo when I first saw this tree, I told the Pilot that it was the one. I then proceeded to wrap my arms around a few branches in a joyful embrace, but my bubble was quickly burst when I learned the price of said (disposable)…

Beyoncé, Rumi, and Blue Ivy Wear Matching Outfits in New Halls of Ivy Photos

December 10, 2021 at 03:13PM View this post on Instagram A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce) Excuse me while I double-check my glasses prescription, because BeyoncĂ©’s new Ivy Park photos have me seeing triple. On Thursday, the mom of three released photos of herself posing with her daughters, 9-year-old Blue Ivy Carter and 4-year-old Rumi Carter, to promote the release of Halls of Ivy, her latest Adidas collaboration. Dressed in matching black and white herringbone leggings and sports bras, the trio served up some unforgettable style moments. See: Blue looking like a professional-soccer-player-turned-model in the background and future CEO Rumi making a call on her pink cell phone in the second shot. Blue, Rumi, and 4-year-old Sir all joined BeyoncĂ© during her last Ivy Park campaign, but looking at these photos now makes us feel like we’re seeing the “Be Alive” singer in…

How Rosemin Madhavji Became One of the Middle East’s Most Influential Women

December 10, 2021 at 02:30PM Rosemin Madhavji accumulated mentors the way other people collect art. Her first was Tom Ford, and then there was Burberry’s turnaround queen, Angela Ahrendts; these were topped off by a brief flirtation with LVMH’s Delphine Arnault. From where she sits now — as a celebrity influencer, entrepreneur, fashion expert and TV presenter — her roster of bold-faced bosses doesn’t seem so surprising. But Rosemin Madhavji wasn’t born into — or indeed anywhere near — the world of high fashion. For the daughter of South Asian immigrants who arrived in London, Ont., with nothing but their suitcases, luxury meant not having to work on the weekends, not a Fendi bag. Rosemin Madhavji is proud of her roots. “My parents worked so hard — my father had the local convenience store, and my mother was a teacher,” she says. “My…

It’s Official—These Will Be the 9 Biggest Hair Trends in 2022

December 10, 2021 at 05:30AM There’s no doubt that 2021 has been a turbulent year for our hair. We spent the first few months trying our hardest to manage our strands at home after going a really long time without a salon appointment. And when we finally did get the chance to sit down in front of a hairdresser, we had a whole lot of damage on our hands. While we started the year with big plans for our hair, in reality, we have been too busy trying to get our strands fighting fit after many, many months of neglect. But as the curtain closes on 2021, we’re feeling pretty confident that 2022 will be the year for hair. To get some sort of idea of the sorts of hair trends that will be popular next year, we reached out to some of the top…

I’m a Beauty Editor, and These Are the 4 Skincare Ingredients I Won’t Be Without

December 10, 2021 at 06:30AM As a part of my job as a beauty editor and journalist, I spend a big chunk of my day talking to skin experts, from aestheticians to consultant dermatologists. As a result, it’s safe to say that I have absorbed a whole lot of skincare know-how. And with that being said, I don’t believe in extensive skincare routines—partly because I’m lazy, but mostly because I have yet to find a medical expert who believes that applying more than four or five products to your face at any one time is better for your skin. In fact, over the years I have settled on just four ingredients that I know my skincare routine can’t be without.As long as I have vitamins A (retinol), B (niacinamide) and C in my routine (topped off with a healthy layer of SPF in the morning), I’m good to…

The 5 Basic Skincare Products You Need in Your 20s

December 10, 2021 at 06:30AM It’s been nearly two years since I found myself on the precipice of my 30s, yet I vividly remember the way that the transition into my fourth decade left me feeling in a wholly reflective mood. ClichĂ©? Maybe. But there’s something about approaching the end of a decade that shifted you out of your teenage years and propelled you into adulthood that feels monumental. Of course, there were plenty of fundamental learning curves along the way (including accepting a job at a bank that really wasn’t the right career move for me, or discovering that squash definitely doesn’t make an appropriate mixer for any spirit), but for today, I’m going to focus on what I’ve learned about skin.Disclaimer: My complexion has never been flawless, poreless or perfect (or any other adjective the beauty industry might have you covet). In fact, I experienced…
