The “Naked” Dress Trend Your Wardrobe Is Crying Out For

October 05, 2021 at 06:08AM Party dresses. Remember those? We’re not talking about those with oversize silhouettes or cosy, woollen textures. Instead, we’re reminiscing of a time when we had a reason to party in our fanciest frock. But with any luck, we won’t need to reminisce this year. Now that we’re in October, we think talking about party season is fair game, and boy, are we excited at the prospect of wearing something glam. We’ve been anticipating it so much that we already know what we’ll wear to such an occasion—an update on a bonafide wardrobe staple.Black dresses are classic—this we know—and it seems our favourite designers have been inspired by its timelessness, for the most noteworthy collections all feature a unique take on the black dress.

I Swear By This One Makeup Product to Brighten My Tired Skin

October 05, 2021 at 06:00AM Despite being a beauty editor with an extensive stash of products at my disposal, when it comes to my daily beauty routine, I’m decidedly low-maintenance. In fact, my usual morning ritual before a work-from-home day consists of a lightning-fast shower, a quick blast of dry shampoo, and then some concealer, brow gel, lip balm and liquid highlighter.
