June 10, 2020 at 06:18AM There are hundreds of thousands of influencers in the social ether, but only a handful who we religiously stalk in order to virtually steal the clothes off their backs. Our primary target is Monikh—the London-based styling and shopping guru who seeks out the very coolest
June 10, 2020 at 06:06AM Over the last month, I have completely revised my at-home outfit strategy. While originally starting my work-from-home period in a mixture of joggers, leggings and various athletic-wear pieces, I have now changed trajectory, deciding daily to opt for a combination of comfy midi dresses and flowing slip skirts.
June 10, 2020 at 06:00AM A snack. A cup of tea. Another glass of water. A quick check of Instagram. A WhatsApp to your friends of that funny video you saw of some woman making tea badly. Let’s be honest. These are just a few things that could be distracting when

June 09, 2020 at 08:53PM Late last month, Canadian footwear giant ALDO unveiled its newest collaboration with global style icon, Rocky Barnes.

June 09, 2020 at 06:50PM We may qualify as full-grown “adults,” but we still enjoy avoiding extra work when there’s an easier, less complicated option – especially when it comes to clothing. We all have pieces in our closet that we wish would fit better. Maybe it’s the dress you
June 09, 2020 at 05:50PM Friendly Stranger, a cannabis retailer and culture shop in Toronto, has joined forces with Brock McGillis and Brooke Lynn Hytes to host a virtual drag show to raise funds for the city’s Church Street Village community, home to many LGBTQ2S folk and businesses. Brock McGillis,
June 09, 2020 at 11:41AM In an era of working from home and saying in more than going out, it’s fair to say that footwear has been simplified. High-heels have been replaced with slippers, boots have been replaced with sneakers and comfort has well and truly become the key. In
June 09, 2020 at 06:30AM With the power of social media, it is very rare in the world of beauty that any brand can be regarded as “under the radar.” You see, every time a person of note likes something and posts about it on their Instagram, they set the
June 08, 2020 at 03:34PM It looks like we’ll be seeing a lot more digital fashion shows this summer. The coronavirus pandemic has caused the fashion industry to change its regular Fashion Week format for the next few seasons, and many major events like the Met Gala, the CFDA Awards,
June 08, 2020 at 06:30AM Nothing gets me more excited for summer than a great body product. The minute the sun starts shining, the first thing I do is dust off my go-to body beauty products from summers past and slather myself in them top to toe. If you ask

June 07, 2020 at 06:00AM It’s fair to say that the novelty of leggings has officially worn off—or perhaps for you, it wore off one week into lockdown. Of course, we are strong proponents of the “if it makes you feel good, then wear it” approach to dressing, so if
June 07, 2020 at 05:00AM When you decide to redecorate, whether you’re in a rented place or one you own, it can feel overwhelming. For months, I have been saving random images, screenshots and torn out pictures from home design magazines to get a good idea of what I want

June 06, 2020 at 06:25AM Pictured above: H&M A-Line Dress ($30) As you know, H&M is a great place to find trends that you don’t want to spend a lot of money on. As you also know, it’s also a great place to shop for basics that look more expensive than they
June 06, 2020 at 06:00AM Last September, post–fashion week, we knew what we were going to see everywhere come summer 2020. The biggest trends included leather (for summer? Actually groundbreaking), pretty white dresses and Bermuda-style shorts. While these trends and many others were pretty much guaranteed at the beginning of the year,
June 06, 2020 at 06:00AM Despite not being much of a dress person, I find that every time I put on a printed frock, there’s a sort of strange fashion alchemy that occurs. No longer am I just a slipper-clad working-from-homer stuck in a never-ending cycle of moving from desk to fridge to sofa. Rather,
June 06, 2020 at 06:00AM A few weeks back, I wrote an article about the powerful role nostalgia is playing in the fashion industry, both over the course of the last year and up to the present day, as creatives struggle to create new content due to social distancing. I’ve watched as magazines have been

June 05, 2020 at 09:50PM So many brands have stepped forward to donate to COVID-19 relief in the past few months. Whether that’s been donating a portion of their sales to various charities, like local food banks and hospitals, or making masks to send to the frontlines, the fashion world

Each week, keep an
June 05, 2020 at 11:00AM Full disclosure: I do own several skirts, but they are never my go-to choice. I favour a dress or a loose-fitting pair of trousers in the summer. Don’t ask me why. I couldn’t give you a coherent answer (especially right now—what day is it again?). Despite my
June 05, 2020 at 06:18AM As a Black woman, it’s been obvious for a long time that many brands barely consider me—and women like me—in their board rooms, beauty labs and marketing strategies. With global campaigns often only championing and catering to one skin tone, as well as only presenting
