December 16, 2021 at 02:30PM Winter and dry skin just go together. The pairing may be unpleasant, but it’s perennial. Kind of like Tom and Shiv on Succession or Fitz and Olivia on Scandal. As the enfant terrible of the skincare world, chilly weather tends to unearth issues that otherwise get literally glossed over by summer’s dew. By the time the first snow falls, there’s often a new emergence of cracked lips and skin so dry that it can be likened to a chalkboard. Winter is a universal adversary against hydration, but it’s particularly pressing for darker skin tones, on whom these skincare issues can be more pronounced. We all feel winter’s ashy wrath, but you’re more likely to actually see it on deeper hues. “In melanin-rich skin there can be increased water loss from the epidermis along with a faster rate of…

December 15, 2021 at 11:31PM We’re only two episodes in and demand is soaring for the fashion in And Just Like That… When word of a Sex and the City reboot spread earlier this year, we knew we were in for some much-needed over-the-top outfits. As expected, since the series premiered on December 9, social media has been sent ablaze with shocking plot twists, dynamic new characters and, of course, to-die-for clothes. New outfits, new friends and old flames.

December 15, 2021 at 08:38PM Miley Cyrus and her new hair have us questioning if we’re in 2021 or 2004. The singer has rocked a ’70s-style shag for some time now, but when pictured out in New York City last week to guest on The Tonight Show, she served a look reminiscent of Y2K pop punk. A fresh take on the grunge cut, Cyrus added chunky black lowlights to her platinum blonde strands, and the internet quickly took notice. when miley cyrus debuts a new hair style the world stops for a while. pic.twitter.com/9eLywavIM4 — • (@unholysmiler) December 10, 2021 Since her rise to fame in the early 2000s, Cyrus’s hairstyles have reflected the different periods of her career — and the 29-year-old has been known to experiment with her locks. She did, after all, get her big break as the star of…

December 15, 2021 at 05:06PM If you can’t squeeze in an appointment at your fave nail bar before the holidays, no need to panic. You can still show up and show out at your upcoming shindigs thanks to this super easy DIY holiday nail look whipped up by Rita Remark, Essie’s lead nail artist and global educator.

December 14, 2021 at 11:04PM Succession wants you to believe it’s not a show about fashion. The HBO drama (its third season just ended) follows the dysfunctional Roy family, owners of the billion-dollar media conglomerate Waystar RoyCo, led by aging patriarch Logan Roy. A darkly comedic series about the fight for power in a fraught media empire, Succession poignantly portrays the pitfalls of inherited wealth. But between curse-laden sibling squabbles and heated investor calls, you may have wondered why these riches aren’t so obvious in the Roy family’s fashion choices. Photography Courtesy of HBOFan interest in the show’s wardrobe is undeniable, with an Instagram account dedicated to the characters’ outfits accumulating nearly 20,000 followers. This is not to say the Roys are particularly fashion-forward (how many plain black baseball caps does one family need?), but rather, the series’ style secret is about an…

December 14, 2021 at 09:57PM Tom Holland might be headlining Spider-man: No Way Home, but Zendaya has been the star of the red carpets. After a parade of web-slinging events, the CFDA Fashion Icon award winner has worn a slew of web-slinging-inspired outfits. First, the Alexander McQueen oversized blazer and tights, adorned with glittery spider accents. Next, she wore the understated Roberto Cavalli black gown, with reference to Spider-man’s arch-nemesis Doc Ock, in the back. And finally, this past week, the spider of all spider looks arrived: Zendaya’s sheer Maison Valentino dress. View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Valentino (@maisonvalentino) Of course, this is nothing new. Expecting Zendaya NOT to slay a movie premiere is like expecting Chanel NOT to create another tweed suit — it’s impossible. The real surprise of the night came from the superhero himself, Tom…

December 14, 2021 at 08:58PM The vest has been making its return for some time now. In recent years, it’s been spotted on the runway, and models like Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid have been sporting a reimagined version of the garment sans undershirt. And while you might associate this street style staple with the fashion of the early aughts, its lineage can actually be traced back to the 17th century, when King Charles II of England introduced the garment as part of “correct dress” for men (as fashion embraces the Regencycore aesthetic, it’s only fitting that the vest – and its royal lineage – follow suit). The unassuming top would later symbolize rebellion against ideas of gendered clothing, today exuding a stylish aura of androgynous comfort. Its appeal is in its versatility. When worn tightly with nothing underneath (à la model off duty),…

December 13, 2021 at 07:11PM It may be time for the Butterfly Pretty Instagram filter to move aside. The most interesting thing happening in augmented reality (AR) right now isn’t beautifying filters that purport to make us “prettier” by removing skin texture and flaws, changing our features or making us look like Kardashians. Instead, the new wave of futuristic Instagram filters are approaching aesthetics in an entirely different way. Take French creator Jade Roche, who taught herself to make filters three years ago after Instagram launched Spark AR Studio, a software platform that allows anyone to design and distribute them. Her most popular creation by far, with five billion views, is New Me, which scrunches users’ faces in the middle so their noses are tiny and their foreheads and chins are exaggerated, giving a vaguely Conehead vibe. Her second most popular filter, Les…

December 13, 2021 at 06:17PM When it comes to holiday dressing, my style philosophy has always been more is more. December is a time when I’m not ashamed to compete for attention with the 2000 lights of the 10-ft Fraser fir that overwhelms my tiny Toronto apartment. From crystal earrings to sparkly bracelets, beaded headbands, and glimmering shimmering necklaces — if it can be draped, wrapped, hooked or hung, every branch of my body deserves a bauble. If what we wear is a form of communication about how we see ourselves and the world, a holiday glow-up, both literally and figuratively, expresses that I am joyful, thankful and merry; I am cozy, comfortable, loved and loving. The season’s themes, from snug to snazzy, are easily translated into everything from cable-knit sweaters and sherpa-lined slippers to sequined blazers and velvet jumpers. To me, holiday…

December 11, 2021 at 02:30PM Peace Out Skincare launches a retinol face stick to target fine lines in a snap Photography Courtesy of Peace Out Skincare.After launching their Retinol eye stick a year ago, Peace Out Skincare is following up their success with a genius new face stick to help you really zero in on ditching pesky fine lines.
