Invest in These 8 Shoe Trends For Fall, Because They’re Sticking Around All Year

October 11, 2021 at 09:58PM While 2020 might seem like the year you collected slippers, slippers … and more slippers, our stay-home style actually laid the foundation for the shoe trends we’re wearing through 2021. From looking at the runways, along with some designer favorites, it’s clear cult-favorite luxury labels like Khaite, The Row, and Bottega Veneta have reintroduced the leather flat and lug-sole boot, albeit in some exciting new shapes. Our more relaxed lifestyle jives just fine with a silhouette that’s just as comfortable. We’re also seeing brands such as By Far and Brother Vellies revamp the clog that hails from the ‘70s. These sturdy wooden soles fuse fashion and function in a really brilliant way, and also happen to look great complemented by flared denim. Aside from that, prep fans will be excited that the loafer is back in 2021, and…

Leave It to Cardi B to Wear the Ultimate Luxury Leggings on Her Birthday – Yes, They’re Chanel

October 11, 2021 at 06:23PM Cardi B rang in her 29th birthday with husband Offset, friends, and family at Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica. Of course, she stepped out for dinner swathed in diamonds following her mesmerizing outfits at Paris Fashion Week. Cardi, who works with stylist Kollin Carter on her looks, seemingly teased her birthday outfit with a glitter Chanel catsuit days before that was not unlike the purple combination she slipped into this time around. Covered in the signature “CC” logo, Cardi’s lurex tee matched her textured leggings, and triple-strap, silver sandals were the finishing touch. Needless to say, they complemented Cardi’s chunky, chain-link jewelry perfectly, and her square, rim-less glasses were the finishing touch to the moment. While Cardi glowed in the streets, Offset stood by her side in all-black leather. He wore a Ganni sweater vest, lug-sole…

Montreal-based Tattoo Artist on Coming Out — for the Second Time — During the Pandemic

October 11, 2021 at 05:00PM In the summer of 2020, right in the thick of the COVID-19 pandemic, tattoo artist Salad (@sadbabysalad on Instagram) publicly came out as non-binary; changed their name on social media; packed up their life in Toronto and moved to Montreal all in the span of a couple weeks. This, however, was not the first time Salad had moved across the country, nor was it the first time they had come out. And while Salad describes their two coming out stories as very different experiences, the fluidity of their identity means they can’t always give concrete answers when others attempt to pin down their sexuality or gender. “Coming out is something that is constantly changing and evolving. I feel like every week is different,” they say, “but that’s just part of being fluid — there are lots of layers…

Halsey Wears a Heart-Shaped Christian Siriano Gown on SNL – And Really, It’s a Work of Art

October 11, 2021 at 04:27PM Halsey performed on SNL with special guest Lindsey Buckingham to sing her new song “Darling” off her fourth studio album If I Can’t Have Love I Want Power. For the look, they stayed true to their all-black color palette as of late, sourcing a dramatic Christian Siriano gown from the fall/winter 2021 collection. Halsey works with Image Architect Law Roach on her outfits, and we’re not at all surprised that the duo delivered for SNL, finishing off the moment with black, mesh finger-less gloves and a netted hat, both of which were their own personal touches and not originally debuted on Siriano’s runway. The design features puff sleeves, a plunging neckline, fitted, drop waist, and an architectural skirt that protrudes at the hips and seemingly forms a heart shape. If this is Halsey’s signature brand of spooky-romantic, we’re…

HBO’s We’re Here S2: Shangela, Eureka and Bob Came to Slay

October 11, 2021 at 02:30PM Move over, Batmobile. HBO’s We’re Here — the drag documentary-meets-makeover series starring Shangela Laquifa Wadley, Eureka O’Hara and Bob the Drag Queen — might possibly feature the most fabulous forms of transportation ever created. In the opening scene of season one (which premiered in 2020) and season two (to be untucked today), the world was introduced to three of the campiest trucks to ever grace the small screen: a fuschia-bowed set of wheels, a mobile-enlarged elephant and a literal “purse first” vehicle. View this post on Instagram   A post shared by We’re Here (@werehere) “I don’t want to ruin it for you, but I actually never drove the [purse] truck myself,” shares Bob over video chat. “When we did season one, I didn’t even have a driver’s license, so I legally could not drive that truck.” As…

Trust Us—This Moisturiser Is Basically Like Having 8 Hours of Sleep

October 11, 2021 at 12:15PM If there’s one thing that we could all be getting more of right now, it’s sleep. Sure, we all know the importance of clocking in those precious eight hours of rest each night for our overall health and wellbeing, but in practice, arriving at the land of nod isn’t always so easy. Between busy work schedules, the resurgence of socialising and balancing temporary home offices with partners, kids and needy pets, many of us are feeling too frazzled to wind down at the end of the day. And failure to switch off and rest means that our skin can be left paying the price. In fact, when talking to skin experts this year, one of the most recurring themes we’ve heard has been the increase in adults seeking help for skin sensitivity, acne and inflammation, all as a…

Makeup Artists Say These 6 Moisturisers Will Age You in Reverse

October 11, 2021 at 08:00AM “Benjamin Buttoning.” Ageing backwards. Stopping time. If there’s one effect or buzzword that elicits the same visceral reaction from beauty editors, skincare experts, and customers alike, it’s anything with the term anti-ageing in it. The truth of the matter is this: There’s no miracle cream, gel, serum or treatment that has the power to actually reverse or halt the signs of ageing on the skin. (Sorry, it just doesn’t exist.)
