September 09, 2021 at 11:14PM TIFF is back, baby! After last year’s program offered a limited number of in-person socially distanced screenings due to the pandemic, the Toronto International Film Festival is making its return with more live events, red carpets and (masked) movie-theatre screenings. Running from September 9 to September 18, there’s plenty going on at the 46th annual festival. Here’s what you need to know about this year’s TIFF. Hold on — did you say TIFF red carpet? You betcha! TIFF red carpet glam will be making its return this year, even if appearances aren’t as concentrated or frequent as previous festivals. Since Canada opened its borders for non-essential travel from American citizens and permanent residents in August, there are many U.S. celebs making their way to Toronto, such as Jessica Chastain, Andrew Garfield, Lily-Rose Depp and Dionne Warwick.

September 09, 2021 at 10:30PM Who would’ve thought that the buzziest event at New York Fashion Week would be a 100-year-old’s birthday party!? Everyone’s favourite maximalist style icon Iris Apfel is celebrating her 100th year in the most Iris Apfel way possible — a birthday extravaganza hosted by Harper’s Bazaar and H&M. To commemorate the occasion, the Swedish retailer is paying homage to her unmistakable aesthetic with a special Iris Apfel x H&M collaboration launching in early 2022. View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Iris Apfel (@iris.apfel) In a press release, Apfel reveals she’s thrilled about the collection, saying, “I think H&M is fabulous and are absolute pioneers in their field — which I love! I love doing high style at affordable prices, which H&M has mastered!” While specifics about the clothing and accessories are still hush hush, this…

September 09, 2021 at 09:44PM This fall, the fashion world is turning their attention away from rich jewel tones like burgundy and emerald green in favour of more delicate hues like lilac — and we’re not mad about it. Whether you’re going for a sophisticated look with clean lines or reaching for a relaxed silhouette, the lilac trend 2021 is sure to be everything this fall and winter. Salvatore Ferragamo, Jil Sander, and Marine Serre are just some of the many designers who sent the unexpected fall colour down the runway, adding a pastel freshness to classic autumnal pieces like cozy knits and tailored coats. This shade of purple has also been spotted on celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Normani, and Michael B. Jordan in recent months and it’s easy to see why. If you’re on the hunt for the perfect colour to shake…

September 09, 2021 at 05:48PM After seasons of virtual presentations, New York Fashion Week is back with in-person shows from designers like Tanya Taylor, Proenza Schouler, Prabal Gurung and Brandon Maxwell, which means street style inspiration galore! Sure, there are the now-ubiquitous masks tucked into handbags and dangling from wrists and attendees need to provide proof of vaccination to enter venues, but it sure is nice to see a parade of fun outfits strutting down the streets of NYC. Can we cautiously say that nature is healing? With the fall vibes, back to school energy in the air, and fresh NYFW 2021 street style, it sure feels that way at the moment. On display outside the Spring/Summer 2022 shows at NYFW so far? Cropped silhouettes and exposed abs, clashing prints, and hints of crochet.

September 08, 2021 at 10:33PM Lily Collins makes a stunning bride. On September 4, the Emily In Paris star wore Ralph Lauren to quietly wed director Charlie McDowell at a whimsical, woodsy Colorado destination. The actor donned a long-sleeve, high-neck white lace gown, complete with a hooded lace cape. C’est magnifique! View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lily Collins (@lilyjcollins) The formal hood worn by Collins is a signature design element for the American fashion house and has been worn by celebs before — who can forget Anne Hathaways’s hooded golden gown at the 2015 Met Gala, or Janelle Monáe’s hood of Swarovski crystals at the 2020 Oscars? The look is also reminiscent of the famously extravagant hooded costume Collins wore as Snow White in the 2012 film Mirror, Mirror. The bride, known for her elegant, Audrey Hepburn-esque beauty,…

September 08, 2021 at 07:17PM Britney Spears’s fight to be released from her 13-year conservatorship has been troubling, to say the least — but it looks like the end could soon be near. On September 7, Variety reported that the star’s father, and co-conservator, Jamie Spears, filed a petition to end his daughter’s conservatorship. This would give Britney Spears full autonomy over her personal life, finances and medical decisions for the first time since 2008. Manifest circle: 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 Britney Spears 🕯 is a free woman 🕯 in 2021 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 — AJ | #FreeBritney (@BritneyFreed) September 8, 2021 “As Mr. Spears has said again and again, all he wants is what is best for his daughter,” wrote Jamie Spears’s attorney, Vivian Thoreen. “If Ms. Spears wants to terminate the conservatorship and believes that she can handle her own…

September 08, 2021 at 06:20PM Have the last 18 months made you care more about creating a cozy, safe, beautiful home base than ever before? It sure has for me. While cooped up during various lockdowns in Toronto, I started to become acutely aware of all the things in my two-bedroom apartment that suddenly felt…tired. Like I was settling. And a lot of the attention — and funds — I’d previously spent on slick blazers and cute shoes (and bi-weekly manicures, let’s be honest) started to get funnelled towards Adult Priorities like framed art, sumptuous bedding and comforting loungewear. I know I’m not the only one — in November 2020, Yahoo Finance reported that according to Etsy CEO Josh Silverman, the e-tailer’s home furnishings sales were up over 120 percent year-over-year, and folks are still lamenting longer-than-ever shipping times on some furniture items…

September 08, 2021 at 05:00PM This article was originally published on August 12, 2021. Update: TikTok, we salute you and your internet sleuthing. After weeks of rampant speculation, Kylie Jenner confirmed she’s expecting her second child with Travis Scott. Jenner shared an emotional video on Instagram on September 7 and we honestly can’t decide if the star is her growing bump or daughter (and soon-to-be big sister) Stormi.  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Kylie 🤍 (@kyliejenner) Welcome to the Kardashian konspiracy theory korner of the internet. Today, we’ll be discussing the rumour currently circulating that Kylie Jenner is expecting baby number two. During her first pregnancy with daughter Stormi Webster, the beauty mogul completely removed herself from public view by halting sharing new photos on social media and mostly staying within her gated community. Three and a half…

September 08, 2021 at 04:48PM The resale market is poised to surpass fast fashion sales within 10 years. Yes, you read that correctly. According to Doug Stephens, founder and president of retail industry consultancy Retail Prophet, “The explosion in resale fashion, driven by brands like The Real Real, Poshmark and others, positions resale to overtake fast fashion within a decade.” In fact, according to online retailer ThredUp’s 2020 report, resale is predicted to be valued at $64 billion in four years. And now, an unlikely retailer is making a splashy entrance into the resale market alongside scrappier sites like Depop and Poshmark. Fast fashion mecca H&M just launched H&M Rewear, a resale platform where people can buy and sell items from any brand. So how did thrifting go from a casual trip to Value Village into a full-blown fashion frenzy? View this post…

September 08, 2021 at 04:35PM Since its launch in 2015, Canadian brand Mejuri has made its mark in the fine and demi-fine jewellery scene, and redefined the concept of direct-to-consumer shopping, offering accessible pricing on highly covetable pieces. With accessories that have become bona fide must-haves, some Mejuri collections have risen to classic status already — a feat that can take some brands decades to achieve. For its new fall campaign, the brand has tapped two modern-day supermodels: ’90s fashion industry trailblazer and living legend Christy Turlington (who could forget her truly iconic Calvin Klein Eternity ads? Swoon.) and world-renowned runway regular Binx Walton, who has fronted campaigns for labels like Tom Ford, Céline and Saint Laurent (NBD). Photography courtesy of Shaniqwa Jarvis/MejuriMejuri’s new campaign highlights the brand’s most iconic, and best-selling, collections to date: the Dôme, the Croissant, the Charlotte and the…
