Most of us have mastered the basics when it comes to makeup — stuff like how to remove waterproof mascara, where to apply blush, and how to cover up a zit with the right concealer. But even if you've been wearing eyeshadow and foundation for decades, there are some next-level tricks out there that will leave you asking yourself, "How did I not know this?!" So if you're looking to learn a few smart beauty
In the constantly growing landscape of fashion bloggers, it's an unfortunate fact that the younger crowd significantly outnumbers ladies of a certain age. It seems everywhere you look, it's nothing but beautiful 20-somethings showing off their style, and while there are certainly more of them, that doesn't make them any more relevant or valuable than their more mature counterparts.
Girls, rise and shine! Because this fall is shaping up to be quite a bright one. How come? Seems like designers all played being Peter Pan’s fairy Tinkerbell this fall season: they bandied glitter around as if they were to celebrate the last day on earth. The more, the better: they literally piledsparkling sequins up on skirts, coats and dresses, they cladded shoes, bags, and yes – even the model’s faces — with glitter and (ab)used copiously shiny, metallic fabrics.
The result was radiant, beaming, lustrous: at Max Mara’s, the classic camel coat turned into a bright gold plaid, Maison Margiela mixed sequins with easygoing daywear, Gucci couldn’t decide between sequins and color (so combined both), Saint Laurent had so many bling bling details we could write a book about it. Ahh, and the shoes! Sparkling feet all over the place at Dolce&Gabbana’s, Giuseppe Zanotti’s, Balenciaga’s,
Every season, new handbag trends make their way into the street style world, and each season, we eagerly scout said accessories. Despite fashion weeks not taking place IRL, there are still a load of new bags coming in with Gucci's Jackie the Prada Cleo being two of the most popular styles. They're fashion-forward and have a serious street style star backing. Sometimes, though, it's the classic designer handbags you simply can't say no to because they are just that—classic.
When a couturier meets an architect to create a fabulous home for fashion, something magical happens. The act of shopping for luxury clothing becomes much more than simply purchasing a good—instead, clients are treated to an all-encompassing aesthetic experience, one where both the clothing and the architecture complement one another. Herewith are ten spectacular boutiques in fashion capitals across the globe—all designed by world-famous architects.
We asked five of the beauty industry’s leading experts to predict the biggest hair, makeup, and skincare trends of 2021. Hint: It’s going to include a lot of ‘jeck’ masks, LED devices, and scalp products.
There are few sayings we detest more in this world than the annual clarion call for a “new year, new you.” (Seriously, what does that even mean?) But honestly, after making it through the tumultuous year that was 2020, we’ve found ourselves getting behind at least some aspect of the tired cliche. It is a new year, and while that doesn’t mean you should feel the need to change anything about yourself—internally or externally—it does signify the opportunity for something far more meaningful: a fresh start.
While this represents just a small fraction of the work that still needs to be done to ensure a more inclusive beauty industry for all, it is a sign that things are moving—albeit slowly—in the right direction. In the meantime, be sure to check out our guide to some of our
Girls, one question: when you have the choice between acting reasonably and acting crazy sexy cool, what is it going to be? Come on, let’s be honest: we all know that good girls go to heaven, and bad girls go everywhere. And since everywhere sounds (and is!) much more interesting, we pretty often stick to what we wanna do — no matter if it’s reasonable or not.
The best example? Fall Winter season 2016-2017 turns out to be quite an unreasonable one: never minding the low temperatures, it offers an abundance of gauzy dresses (you will love Alberta Ferretti’s collection), see-through blouses (oh, Chloé!), transparent skirts (we all want the transparent one with dots from Giamba), feathery sweaters (have you seen the turtleneck-ones from Nina Ricci?)…
