Barbie Ferreira Makes Us Wonder: Are Gloves the Holiday Accessory Du Jour?

November 08, 2021 at 04:40PM Model and Euphoria star Barbie Ferreira continues to take on groundbreaking fashion trends with the help of her stylist Chris Horan. The duo, along with assistant Greer Heavrin, tapped Asian-owned brand Kim Shui for a dress set that goes far beyond a simple slip and cardigan combination. Shui plays with graphic prints across sheer, mesh fabric to make a statement, and her red rose tube dress comes with a pair of gloves, one tall and one short, to bring the romantic ensemble to the next level. Barbie teamed her gown with Christian Louboutin pointed-toe patent pumps and a handmade orb pendant necklace from Misho, which is described as “modern architecture for the body.” Barbie makes us wonder if this holiday season, perhaps it isn’t a flashy shoe, statement coat, or work-of-art bag we should invest in, but gloves…

Now, Moon Juice includes three shops, a range of supplements and skincare, a cookbook and a just-released manual filled with wellness tips and easy recipes featuring adaptogens (natural ingredients said to help the body cope with stress), which Bacon uses to optimize beauty, brain, spirit, sex and sleep.

November 08, 2021 at 01:00PM Options. You can never have too many. That is, until you’re faced with having to choose a method of birth control. Should you go for the pill or an IUD? Condoms or an intravaginal ring? To help you decide on the best type of contraceptive for you (and get the most out of it), we spoke with Dr. Kristin Terenzi, a family doctor based in Vaughan, Ont., for a simple primer on contraceptives and the top questions you should ask your doctor before starting or switching your birth control. Dr. Kristin TerenziWhat are contraceptives? Contraceptives are agents that prevent pregnancy ranging from physical barriers like condoms to chemical barriers like the birth control pill and even the intravaginal ring and IUD (intrauterine device), which are a combination of both.

M&S’s Perfect Autumn Jumper is Finally Back in Stock

November 08, 2021 at 12:19PM There’s nothing that makes me quite as excited as the discovery of an affordable item that could easily pass as designer. This season, this moment came in the form of a jumper courtesy of high-street stalwart Marks and Spencer. Of course, good ol’ M&S has always been prized for its cashmere offering, but when I saw this particular striking ombre number, I couldn’t help but yelp with excitement. (It’s my job, okay?) Naturally it sold out within a week, but we’re happy to announce that it’s finally back in stock!Coming in a statement-making shade of red with a classic crew-neck silhouette, this jumper just feels so premium. Perhaps it’s the fact that it’s impactful without being obviously “trend-led,” and the cashmere fabric makes it feel undeniably luxurious. I also think it’s the sort of style that will look good for many seasons to come.Both WWW editor…

We Already Know This “Naked” Trend Will Be Huge in 2022

November 08, 2021 at 08:00AM As part of what we’re calling “the great shrinkage,” designers have been debuting looks that are getting skimpier and skimpier. The S/S 22 runways were no exception, where “floss” fashion was in full focus stringy dresses and tops with barely there floss-like straps. Yep, things are about to get even more naked come next year.The “floss” trend has been gaining more and more traction off the runways as well recently, with brands like Nensi Dojaka really putting the micro-trend on the map with their signature tiny strap dresses.

Dermatologists and Celebrities Swear By This Affordable Skincare Brand

November 08, 2021 at 08:00AM Skincare can be really expensive. In fact, I’m kind of fed up of tip-toeing around the fact that in so many cases, we’re all being painfully overcharged for certain skincare products. Brands know all too well the price that we’re willing to pay for great skin, and they’re not afraid to take advantage of it. However, as our skincare priorities have shifted, not only are brands charging obscene amounts of money for efficacious products, but they’re also driving up prices on products that look more aesthetically pleasing. As a result of this, it’s safe to say that when it comes to skincare, price does not always reflect quality.So when a no-frills product range comes along that doesn’t have a gimmicky name, doesn’t come housed in Instagram-worthy bottles and generally lacks fancies, it can be very easy for it…
