I Never Go to Bed Without Doing These 5 Things for My Long Hair
Those with curls should pay close attention. If nothing else, Gutterman says you should at least do this one thing. “I love using a silk bonnet when my hair is curly, and when it’s straight, I like to do a flat wrap to avoid messing up the style. Also, putting the hair into two braids on each side can save the hair from frizz and give you a cute wave for the next day!” I also wear a satin cap at night to keep my curls from getting too tangled or frizzy and it’s been a game-changer for me. I wake up with strands that are more hydrated and smooth, plus they stay that way longer throughout the day. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

The Haircut, Colour and Style Worth Trying This Winter
Winter is officially here, and while the sudden cold snap made us catch our breath, there’s nothing like the changing of seasons to make you want to switch things up. From swapping out your wardrobe to heavier fabrics to exchanging beauty products for richer formulas, the shift to winter inspires a longing (or need) for something different. If you’re anything like me, that feeling also applies to your hairstyle. Whether that’s a new cut or a whole new colour, the itch to change up your look is natural. If the feeling strikes you, I say go for it. To find out what’s trending right now in the hair world, I spoke to two top stylists to let us in on what their clients are requesting right now. From rich chestnut hues to short, blunt bobs, below are&n...

How to Shrink a Shirt to the Perfect Size
There are a couple of effective methods for shrinking a shirt, and one of the easiest is by boiling it. Simply heat up a pot of water, and then shut off the stove as soon as it reaches a boil. Drop the shirt in the water immediately, and then let it sit for about five minutes. If you’re looking for a more serious degree of shrinkage, you can leave the shirt in the water for up to 20 minutes. The longer the shirt is left in the water, the further it will shrink, but obviously, there’s a limit to this magic. Most shirts will only shrink up to a maximum of 20% in size. Once you’re finished soaking the shirt, remove it from the water using a pair of tongs or a wooden spoon. Once the shirt has cooled off enough to touch, wring it out and examine your progress. The boiling process can be repeate...

These 17 Candles Will Make Your Home Feel (and Smell) So Expensive
I have a clear brief when shopping for candles: Luxury hotel lobby vibes. If you’ve ever walked inside a hotel and been greeted by a comforting, expensive scent that instantly makes you feel at home, then you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s the perfect accompaniment to plush furnishings, hardwood floors, and low-lit lighting. Often clean, usually warm, and always luxurious, it is exactly the vibe I’m after. My obsession began in 2017 when I first stepped into the Monbijou Hotel in Berlin (side note: highly recommend). The lobby decor is chic but urban, muted colour-wise, and filled with low-level seating, ambient lighting, and artfully-arranged coffee table books. In the winter there’s an open fire and in the summer fresh-cut flowers. However, the first thing I noti...

The One Shoe Style All the Coolest People Will Be Wearing This Winter
In fact, many of our favourite fashion girls have been spotted in platform mary-jane heels, from Camille Charriere to Lucy Williams (keep scrolling to see exactly how they’ve been styling them so far). And the shoe’s popularity shows no sign of waning, having featured heavily on the SS23 catwalks, too. Given the style’s strong late nineties/early noughties aesthetic, it’s hardly surprising— Y2K fashion exploded this year, and although spearheaded by Gen Z, we’re definitely starting to feel its influence across all generations now. The popularity of platform mary-janes may also have something to do with the meteoric rise of the (relatively) new footwear brand Nodaleto. We’ve previously reported just how much fashion girls love their chunky, curved heel sh...
Kendall Jenner Just Started a New Legging-Outfit Trend That’ll Be Big in 2023
Ah, to have Kendall Jenner’s workout wardrobe. Just like every area of her highly enviable wardrobe, it never disappoints. Jenner was photographed this week leaving a studio with Hailey Bieber and Justine Skye, and her outfit, as simple as it was, is worth talking about. It’s not easy coming up with fresh legging outfits at this point, but with an effortless styling trick and a few key accessories, Jenner accomplished it. The hallmark of a great workout outfit is that it’s both functional during the class or gym session and cool enough to go to brunch (or the supermarket, a coffee shop, etc.) after. Jenner’s is all of those things. It consisted of black high-waisted leggings, a sports bra, and a coordinating sweater draped across her shoulders. Add to...
