October 16, 2021 at 02:30PM Oribe launches stunning limited-edition gift boxes Photography courtesy of OribeUsually, it takes just one whiff of Oribe’s Dry Texturizing Spray to fall in love with this iconic and celeb-praised hair brand. Now, we guess it’ll take just one glance at Oribe’s new limited-edition holiday boxes for you to want to collect each and every one. À Paris chez Antoinette Poisson, a French interior design firm, has created the designs based on its hand-drawn and water-coloured wallpapers, an art form that dates to the 18th century. To weave together the firm’s special history with Oribe’s own, the block prints feature classic motifs, including the Oribe goddess emblem and the flowers used in that irresistible Côte d’Azur scent. “We wanted to create the feeling that once you’ve used the products, you want to keep the box as a decorative object,…

October 15, 2021 at 07:42PM A fall weather ‘fit isn’t complete without a handbag. Be it the trendy mini or classic leather tote in an autumnal hue, this all-important accessory is sure to tie every look in your cold-weather wardrobe together. According to the  2021 fall/winter runways, designers have made cozy and timeless materials a must for fall handbags, from plush shearling totes like Bottega Veneta’s ‘Arco Tote’ or Saunt Laurent’s ‘Le Fermoir’ hobo bag, to luxury leather with Stella McCartney’s ‘Maxi Falabella Tote’ and Fendi’s ‘Peekaboo Iconic Mini.’ Those looking to make a bigger statement can look no further than Gucci’s 100 Horsebit 1955 Small Bag — a romantic take on the luxury fashion house’s monogram — and Marc Jacobs’ Lux Knitted Charm Bag featuring imagery from Sofia Coppola’s 1999 dreamy drama The Virgin Suicides. As we (well, some of us) welcome…

October 14, 2021 at 06:29PM I’ve always felt like Apple Watch users were in a special club that I wasn’t part of. Everyone who has the device seems to love it, forever touting its ability to track their health and fitness progress and keep them connected while reducing screen time spent on their phones. I’ve never had an Apple Watch before and, admittedly, I haven’t felt the need to get one. I’m not big into working out (though I sometimes wish I was), and I have to stay “plugged in” for my job as a culture writer, so I didn’t think an Apple Watch — or the lifestyle it implies — was for me. But ahead of the release of the Apple Watch Series 7 on October 15, I was offered the chance to try out the new device, and as it turns…

Sully G View this post on Instagram   A post shared by SULLY G | Beauty Influencer (@sullyg_) iframe.instagram-media { position: static !important; } NYC-based hair influencer Sully G details her life as a colour-obsessed curly-haired girl, and her enviable set of locks certainly give a whole new meaning to the term redhead. Sully’s feed is perfect for the natural-haired girl that doesn’t shy away from a new hue and doesn’t necessarily wait for a chair at the salon to open up in order to change up her look. Her…

October 13, 2021 at 10:10PM Lizzo is a bona fide style icon. Since she came onto the scene, the “Good As Hell” singer has never been one to shy away from innovative fashion statements, especially when the ensemble involves bearing some skin. Her most recent head-turning look was just this week, when the star stepped out in a crystal see-through dress. The glistening, sheer purple outfit is reminiscent of the famous Swarovski crystal gown that Rihanna sported to the 2014 CFDA awards — even still, it is so uniquely Lizzo. The fashion moment has (understandably) been the topic of social media praise since the first snaps hit the internet. To her fans, Lizzo’s ability to consistently turn these types of risqué looks is a testament to her unshakable self-love. Now, she’s working to help others achieve the same self-confidence. Earlier this year, the…

October 13, 2021 at 08:10PM Squid Game fashion is having a moment. Yes, you read that correctly. The gory horror series that has taken the internet by storm is now influencing people’s wardrobes. First, some background. Netflix’s most popular TV show to date, the Korean thriller follows a group of debt-ridden citizens who compete in a series of high-stakes children’s games for the chance to win a life-changing cash prize. However, don’t be fooled by this simplistic synopsis. The nine-episode journey is a mix between the plot of The Hunger Games and the violence of a Quentin Tarantino film, as a game of marbles can result in a shooting spree with masked VIPs cheering in the background. View this post on Instagram   A post shared by HoYeon Jung(Chung) (@hoooooyeony) While the series has quickly become a must-see, Squid Game costumes are similarly…

October 13, 2021 at 08:03PM Since the first James Bond film Dr. No was released in 1962, 007’s sleek attire and shiny weaponry emitted a top-tier sense of luxury. And with each new film, viewers are enthralled by the high-tech gadgets and superb fashion statements the spy sports. James Bond is more than a franchise — it’s a cultural phenomenon, rediscovered and beloved by generations of people since the character’s creation by author Ian Fleming. The latest, 25th film in the franchise, No Time To Die, is especially meaningful, as it marks Daniel Craig’s fifth and final performance as the leading man, and the introduction of the first Black woman to play 007, with actor Lashana Lynch tapped for the celebrated role. The return of James Bond reminds us of the extravagance we all feel while ogling over the luxury aesthetics that have…

October 13, 2021 at 04:08PM I’ve tried a lot of things in my life to help me sleep. I’ve tried herbal tinctures, weighted blankets and many meds. I’ve tried quitting caffeine, taking cannabis, doing cognitive behavioural therapy, getting acupuncture and paying a nice lady to hypnotize me into a stupor. While all of these things help some of the time, I’ve basically spent countless hours of my adult life lying awake at night or worrying that I will soon be lying awake at night. While my sleep battles have been going on forever, these days I can also add sudden nonsensical fits of blinding perimenopausal rage that leave anyone who dares move my coffee cup — WHO DOES THAT?! — quivering in their wake, plus the exciting development of brain-scrambling panic when I get overwhelmed by deadlines, to my high-strung repertoire. So when…

October 12, 2021 at 09:33PM Brooke Lynn Hytes is very Canadian — almost to a fault. As the host and judge on Canada’s Drag Race season two  — which premieres October 14 on Crave — being judgemental is quite literally her job. While many in and out of drag already read people for free (see: all of social media), being paid to critique contestants seems like a dream job. And don’t get her wrong, it is Brooke Lynn’s dream job, but sometimes her “Canadian-ness” gets in the way. “We’re not naturally judgemental people,” she says over the phone. “Well, we actually are, but we have this politeness in us that thinks, ‘How do I say this nicely?‘” View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Brooke Lynn Hytes (@bhytes) The runner-up on season 11 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, the “Queen of…
