Ever find yourself forgetting, even just for a split second, that your body is a part of you? Maybe you’ve found yourself looking down at your body and being overcome with a sense of total weirdness that your body parts belong to you. Well, take that momentary feeling of ignorance and confusion and multiply it

The desire to make some extra cash, combined with our collective conscience poking at us to be more sustainable, has led to a boom in the reselling market. Take Depop. The peer-to-peer shopping app’s $62m (£48m) investment is evidence the demand is firmly there for the industry to continue to grow. Of course, reselling is

Maya Jama certainly isn’t a fan of tidying up – I mean who is? As I check into her LA suite ahead of the E! People’s Choice Awards – where Maya will take home the accolade for UK and Ireland’s Best Dressed– I find her deep in the middle of glam and surrounded by discarded

As a culture, we’ve decided that with the stroke of November 1, the holiday season officially begins. (So long, spooky season.) However, there’s nothing spookier than tackling your holiday shopping list. In a society that considers binging a whole season of a Netflix series a days work, why not conquer your yuletide to-dos in two?

Welcome back to the weekly review series where we try out the latest beauty drops. This time around it’s all about the lips and cheeks with Trinny London’s Sheer Shimmer Lip2Cheek collection that’s out this Sunday 17th November and comes in 4 shades. It’s that time of year where the sparkles are slowly but surely

August 31 marks 22 years since Princess Diana was killed in a car accident. Like most big events, you probably remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when it happened. I was a surly 11-year-old in an Ottawa hotel room with my family, capping off an East Coast road trip. My brothers were

One woman who knows her way around an iconic, distinctive fragrance is perfume legend, Jo Malone CBE, who created a fragrance empire not once but twice. She established her namesake brand Jo Malone London in 1991 before selling it to beauty giant Estee Lauder in 1999 (for undisclosed millions) and leaving in 2006, then reignited

Hollywood and Anytown, USA collided for the 53rd annual CMA Awards … and they blended perfectly. Gigi Hadid, Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman were on hand Wednesday night at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Gigi hung out with Kacey Musgraves, who performed with Willie Nelson. Kacey also brought home some hardware as Female Vocalist of the

We’re in an age where women are kicking ass in the workplace. Indeed, according to the non-profit organisation, Catalyst, 78.1% of women are working, proving there’s a steady incline of women hustling towards their dreams. If you’re seeking some inspo to get your hustle on, a spot of wisdom and positive energy is sometimes all

It starts, like everything else, with Elvis Presley. Before the boy from Memphis first shimmied his way onstage, fashion and music were only connected in as much as artists had to wear something when they performed. After him, rock stars would be the biggest influence on what young people wore for the next half a

In our inaugural Hustle Issue, the US actor – who shot to fame in Riverdale and is fresh from her movie star turn in Hustlers– says her greatest hustle of all is with her own mental health. Here, she opens up to Josh Smith about ‘crippling anxiety’ and how therapy allowed her to put the

Come, on! You’ve never done that?’ cries Garance Doré as she leans back on a pristine peach-pink leather banquette, the focal point of her bright LA kitchen. She’s trying to tell me that she was much more of a blagger than a blogger, back in the day. ‘I snuck into so many shows,’ she says,

There are the beauty products you try once or twice before they end up gathering dust on a shelf, and then there are the beauty products you slather on every day, getting through a tub of the stuff a week. It feels like a no-brainer, then, for brands to super-size their most popular products, reducing

You might be buying less fast fashion and dutifully recycling your beauty products have you ever considered how sustainable your period is? Nope, didn’t think so. Did you know it takes a tampon longer to degrade than the lifespan of the women who wears it? And the average woman will use over 11,000 disposable, one-time-use

Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is on the tip of our tongues, which means we can begin to get excited about the festive season and all the social gatherings that come with it. It’s the time of year where it’s deemed totally acceptable to wear sequins head-to-toe. But, how do we approach Christmas

If you have good taste, as the saying goes, you can shop anywhere. But knowing what to buy when you get there, well that’s a different story altogether. For all the smart-casual occasions that might come up during the winter season, it’s hard to beat a classic overcoat. Insulating, versatile and an easy way to

God, I love a salon treatment. I love being in the hands of a professional who can look at my hair and tell me exactly what I need. Who can custom blend the exact colour that’ll work for me, and who can address the very specific needs of my strands – oilier at the roots,

Whether you’re working through your holiday shopping list or splurging on yourself, Nordstrom’s fall sale has something for everyone. So far, we clocked a pair of rain-ready Hunter boots at forty percent off, a peacoat with over 2,000 glowing reviews, and Dior sunglasses worthy of 2001-era Paris Hilton. Click through for our edit of the

Two days ago, Huda Kattan teased her 39.7 million followers with an Instagram post asking “Can you guess where our first pop-up will launch?” With over 50,000 likes and 2,000 comments discussing where it could possible be – LA, New York, Sweden, Brazil – Huda finally revealed the mystery location as London. “[London] really holds

Because Canadian winters are so long, we’re in our boots for months at a time–usually wearing them daily—so they better last. But juggling practicality and style is no easy task—is it too much to ask for toasty toes and stylish options? Before hitting the mall, I called Shannon Smith, who co-owns The Shoe Tree in Moncton, N.B., with his

It’s not often that a new player rips up the rulebook before even joining the game, but that’s exactly what After Beauty has done. At a time when the British high street is having a tough old time, it’s set up shop in one of London’s most expensive and prestigious neighbourhoods (Piccadilly) to deliver a

If you’re looking to break free from your Netflix habit and indulge in some classic, juicy BBC drama, we’ve got you. BBC’s new drama, Gold Digger, about a woman falling in love with a much younger man and the effect it has on her already damaged family, airs on November 12 and people are already

‘Tis the season. The TV ads are getting insufferable, there’s tinsel everywhere, and with the Christmas period bearing down, a familiar complaint rears its head: “You’re so difficult to buy for.” You’d swear that Christmas gifts for men were about as hard to find as the lost Ark of the Covenant. We’re here to tell

As the author of multiple memoirs, psychotherapist Wendy C. Ortiz, M.F.T., is no stranger to personal disclosures. In her books, she’s told readers about her teenage sexual exploits and her struggles as a 20-something Angeleno, and she’s even provided lengthy descriptions of her dreams. But over the past few years, Ortiz has been navigating a

On Sunday, November 10, the best in pop culture, as chosen by the people, were celebrated at the People’s Choice Awards. Zendaya slayed in a one-shouldered cut-out gown, Rickey Thompson shut the house down in a belted forest green suit, and Pink! brought along her whole family for the show. Also, the entire cast of

With over 600,000 followers on Instagram, Chessie King is an influencer who’s using her platform to uplift us all. Her pictures – and voice – are unfiltered in the best possible way. Despite using her platform to spread body confidence and inspiring posts, she’s sadly still subject to trolling – and she’s not alone. According

Even with the stress of the holidays and trying to find the *perfect* thing for everyone you love, when it comes down to it, the process of actually giving a gift is pretty great. What’s better than watching someone’s face light up when they open something you carefully selected just for them? Honestly very little,

Over 60% of women suffer with skin sensitivity, according to a recent study. Though it’s difficult to quantify what exactly sensitivity is – given that it’s so subjective – conditions such as itching, burning, stinging, tightness and dryness are all consistent signs. Also consistent with these conditions, is inflammation, which can trigger all of the

Saving up for a long-haul beach trip can often mean at least one of two things: A) How many gin and tonics would we have to drink to get our money’s worth at an all-inclusive resort? B) Which destination is going to work on the ‘Gram? But for LGBTQ+ folk, the reality is very different,
