New Style Idea

During these rare and unprecedented times, so many brides are left scrambling , wondering whether or not it makes sense to postpone their weddings or elope . Should they cancel their wedding-dress appointments or rather schedule a virtual one ? My planned wedding date is not until May 2021, but there is no denying the fact that social distancing will remain the norm for a while, and the idea of my wedding dress (a big, important detail for a lot of brides!) remains just that: an idea. "A wedding stands for hope and trust. Two values we need now." Some fashion houses have decided to present an extended 2021 collection in October, forgoing the release of a Spring 2021 lineup altogether. But others are slowly providing assets - Oscar de la Renta shared this sketch by artist Tamas Haizer, a sneak peek at a bridal look to come sometime soon - because dreaming is still doable. "In this difficult time we think it's important to dream. A wedding stands for hope and t

Bella Hadid is the chicest farm girl around. The 23-year-old supermodel planted lavender on mom Yolanda Hadid’s farm today wearing a casual look. The Dior Beauty ambassador sported a beige and blue jacket layered over a plaid top and dark-wash mom jeans.

Hadid wore her hair pulled into an updo and accessorized with gold huggies. In addition to the images of herself planting lavender alongside her mother, the A-lister shared another photograph wherein she is playing with one of her family’s goats. Older sister Gigi appeared to be into Hadid’s post, as she commented on her sibling’s Instagram post not once but twice, writing “Goat Olympics” as well as “Lavender Olympics.” One of the world’s most sought after models, Hadid has appeared in fashion campaigns aple

Whenever I find myself with a little extra time on my hands, I browse my collection of face masks and beauty treatments for entertainment. I have other hobbies, sure, but I view skin care as my main one . (It also happens to be my job.) Because I love it so much, it feels wrong calling taking care of my skin "hard work" . But candidly, it is. It's taken a lot of trial and error to get my skin-care routine just right. I'm one of those people who rarely had acne as a teenager, but started getting breakouts as an adult when I turned 21. It was the type of cystic acne that primarily shows up around your jaw and is triggered by hormones . Boy, was that a time. Now that my skin has cleared up for the most part - I still get breakouts occasionally but the situation has vastly improved - I feel like I know what my skin needs and stick to it religiously. That includes doing an extended DIY facial once a week . (I like to call it my me-time.) The products I use help detox

Tracee Ellis Ross is bringing bold colors to brighten up her fans’ Instagram feeds — and a parking lot. The “Black-ish” actress shared a video to her Instagram page on Wednesday afternoon wherein she appeared to be walking through a parking lot while running errands. Although fashion amid the current stay-at-home orders tends to be pretty casual, Ellis Ross sported an eye-catching look worthy of a runway show appearance. View this post on Instagram SURE, YEAH, TODAY… got this. A post shared by Tracee Ellis Ross (@traceeellisross) on Apr 29, 2020 at 11:33am PDT The “Mixed-ish” co-creator was clad in a long-sleeve orange sweater and a purple, asymmetrical skirt. Both pieces appeared to be knit, which gave the outfit a cozy-chic look. On her feet, Ellis Ross sported a pair of brown ankle boots set on a block heel. The shoes appeared to be fabricated in suede. The A-lister wore her hair pulled back into a sleek bun and accessorized with oversize g

Tommy Hilfiger is one of the latest designers to join in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic and help healthcare workers who are on the front lines during this unprecedented time. In inspiring news, the iconic American designer is planning on donating more than 10,000 classic white T-shirts to support public health efforts in both the United States and Europe. The T-shirts will be beneficial to healthcare workers who are caring for COVID-19 patients because their personal protective equipment tends to get warm and causes them to change shirts up to three times a shift. The designer is also planning on launching a capsule of limited-edition white T-shirts and sweatshirts, for which all proceeds will be donated to COVID-19 global relief efforts. The collection will be designed in collaboration with consumers and fans who can vote for their favorite designs on both Tommy Hilfiger and Tommy Jeans 's Instagram accounts until April 30. The winning styles will be available for

The first time I ever tinted my eyebrows was with my ex-boyfriend's 80-year-old grandmother. She told me it was her best-kept beauty secret and that I should give it a try. To my surprise, from this random encounter, it became my new thing. I have light brows that I normally fill in and feeling like I didn't need to put makeup on them was life-changing. That was nearly a decade ago, and now I have my usual eyebrow professional who has become one of my friends. I visit her house monthly, where she threads and tints my brows while I hold her baby (she's a pro). Not only does she do an amazing job, but I just love hanging out with her. Needless to say, during this shelter in place, I miss her. Not only as a person, but my brows miss her too. Thankfully, because she took a break for maternity leave last year, she taught me how to tint my own brows at home. Firstly, I bought this Refectocil Color Kit in Natural Brown ($26) on Amazon, because it's the exact one she uses

Bruce Willis shaving his daughter Tallulah's head while social distancing proved one thing, and one thing alone: the buzzcut is cool as hell, no matter which way you slice it. Of all the hairstyles out there , this is the one reserved for the most fierce and daring. (For proof, just look at Pink , Halle Berry , and Cara Delevingne .) Not only do buzzcut babes look badass around the clock, but they avoid bad hair days, windswept lip gloss situations, and color maintenance (what roots?). Meet the women who will have you clutching the trimmers , and maybe even making some bold choices of your own. Source: https://ift.tt/2zyZKzv

Amazon Prime’s “Making the Cut ” host Heidi Klum is giving fans a glimpse into her at-home style today — and it’s a bit different from her typical looks. The former model posted a photo of her “Office Time” with her husband, musician Tom Kaulitz, both seated at a table in front of their computers. While Kaulitz wore a relaxed tank-top and sweats, Klum grabbed attention in just a towel tucked across her body and hair. The real kicker of the ensemble, though, was her choice of footwear. Klum kicked up her feet in a set of slippers designed to resemble fish, complete with the head and the mouth of the fish serving as the strap of the shoe. If you’re wondering where to buy her at-home shoe look this, Natsunohi offers a similar design on Amazon for just $25 .

In less than a week, Gigi Hadid may have walked the red carpet for the fifth consecutive year at the highly-anticipated Met Gala — and if reports are true — she would have been sporting a baby bump. However, fashion’s biggest event was canceled last month due to the coronavirus pandemic. The benefit was originally scheduled for May 4. Though we won’t be seeing Hadid, or any stars for that matter, walking the famed  Metropolitan Museum of Art steps, why not take a look at the model’s enembles through the years. 2019 The theme was “Camp: Notes on Fashion” and Hadid committed . The supermodel went with a head-to-toe ensemble from Michael Kors Collection for the event. Her sequined silver, white and gold jumpsuit consisted of glittered hat, made by Stephen Jones, and a feathered train. She added to the outfit with fake silver eyelashes and platform boots that truly brought out the glam. Gigi Hadid at the 2019 Met Gala, wearing custom Michael Kors. CREDIT: Gregory Pace/Shuttersto

Not only are Sephora Favorites kits a great way to get introduced to new products, many include deluxe-sized samples that aren't sold anywhere else. And, while they make perfect carry-on options, there's no reason why these items can't be tested out at home first, too. If you're looking for a beauty product that's new (to you) or a new self-care activity idea , you can accomplish twice as much by doing your own experiments like using a packaged set to find your next favorite mascara or lipstick. Filled with value and bestselling items to try, there are sets specifically focused on summer beauty, fragrances , and even a couple with plant-based options , too. Several of these kits recently arrived at Sephora - like the newly launched Luxe series - while others have already earned rave reviews from other shoppers. Plus, some include full-sized items (in addition to travel-sized ones), or let you choose your favorite mini in full-size later (for no additional

Sure, waiting months before getting a haircut every once in a while isn't the worst thing to do, but in the event that your split ends are past the point of saving, you might be considering an trim. If you have curly hair, though, trimming it at home might be slightly more complex. To help out with that, natural hair vlogger and founder of Melanin Haircare Whitney White (also known as Naptural85 on social media), shared an in-depth tutorial featuring an easy way to trim your natural hair at home. For her method, all you'll need are a pair of shears, a few detangling combs, and a leave-in conditioner of your choice. Check out of a few takeaways from White's tutorial ahead, and watch the full video above. Tip #1: Use Shears We're not sure who needs to hear this, but please don't try and cut or trim your hair with kitchen scissors. The scissors laying around your house that you might use for everyday projects aren't made to cut hair, which means that if yo

It's been more than 20 years since the '90s came to a close, and yet we're more obsessed than ever with the decade. Our fashion has never felt more influenced by the trends that ruled so many years ago than it does now. Pretty much every look we're obsessed with lately seems to have '90s roots: baggy jeans , cute cardigans , slip dresses, tube tops , bucket hats, platforms , chunky sandals . We could keep going . . . On the topic of shoe trends, it dawned on us that so many of our current favorites - of the sneakers , sandal, and boot variety - are from specific brands, including New Balance , Reebok , Adidas , Dr. Martens , Converse , and Nike . All of these labels were hugely popular in the '90s, whether it was a cult-loved combat boot, hip high-top, or time-honored trainer. So, we thought it'd be fun to roundup some of the most popular '90s shoe brands that are still totally on-trend today! Plus, we're shopping out some of the most beloved style

While home in Los Angeles under stay-at-home orders, Meghan Markle is continuing to fulfill her role as patron of the Smart Works charity, which provides clothing and coaching for women with upcoming job interviews. In a video posted to the organization’s Instagram today and taken in late March, Markle can be seen offering a Smart Works client words of advice and encouragement prior to a job interview. For the meeting, the Northwestern University alum was clad in a raspberry-colored cashmere Joseph sweater (the top is no longer available in her chosen colorway, but Farfetch.com stocks a black version for $365). Markle paired the jumper with a $175 Edge of Ember necklace.

Jordyn Woods is incorporating one of spring’s growing trends into her workout attire. The 22-year-old matched up a rainbow tie-dye crop top with a set of black high-waisted leggings, tucked into tie-dyed Nike crew socks. While the pattern has been around for decades, the tie-dye trend reemerged amongst celebrities in spring 2019 seen on the likes of J. Balvin, Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid. Woods continued her colorful athleisure look with an unexpected workout shoe: Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2. Sporting the “Semi Frozen” yellow colorway, the style released in November 2017 and includes Adidas’ signature Boost cushioning and Primeknit sock-like uppers. With its translucent outsole and zebra-stripe style print, the sneakers originally sold for $220, but resell now on sites like StockX for upwards of $497 with the highest asking price reaching $2,000 for rarer sizes.

If you're someone who regularly wears makeup , the idea of skipping out on it for a few days - or under current circumstances, a few weeks - can be a very freeing thing . It saves you time, both in application and removing it at the end of the day, which is arguably the worst part, and it makes your skin feel oh so clean. Without the heaviness of foundation or concealer on your skin, you feel like your pores are clear and your complexion is getting a much-needed break. It makes you wonder if we should all be taking a regular break from our makeup products to allow our skin to "breathe" more often - as in not just during a mandatory work-from-home scenario. To find out if your skin really benefits from the time off, we tapped two industry experts. Keep reading to find out if you should be taking a weekly hiatus from your cosmetics . Can the Skin Really "Breathe"? The answer to this question is complex - no, your skin doesn't breathe in the sense that it

As the saying goes, great minds think alike - perhaps more so when they share the same name. In a recent virtual appearance on The Tonight Show , Billy Porter revealed that the inspiration behind his meme-ready, mechanical hat at the 2020 Grammys had actually been inspired by Billie Eilish. "It came about because when we were at the American Music Awards, I was right behind Billie Eilish on the red carpet, and she was wearing this Gucci veil . It was so cute," Billy told Jimmy Fallon. (It's worth noting that Billie's veil that evening was actually by Burberry, but she would later go on to wear a Gucci face mask to the Grammys .) Though Billy loved the look, he was hesitant because, "I'm never wearing something that covers up my face. I've waited too long for this moment. Folks need to see my face." "Somebody's gotta do it." That's when his stylist, Sam Ratelle, offered a perfect solution: "What if the veil opened and clo
