By Megan Kirkwood Date October 27, 2022 Facebook Twitter Celebrity makeup artist Emily Cheng first considered a career in makeup when, as a teenager, she realized that most of the makeup artists she visited with her friends couldn’t make the looks she wanted work with her features. “I have a monolid, and I learned really early on that you have to be able to look at someone’s face and...

By Natalie Michie Date October 27, 2022 Facebook Twitter Is it in poor taste to discuss fashion and funerals in the same breath? I’d argue not.

By Amanda Demeku Date October 26, 2022 Facebook Twitter Some people like to play classical music in their homes to feel at peace.

By Annika Lautens Date October 26, 2022 Facebook Twitter For most of us, maxi skirts aren’t in our daily wardrobe rotation. Why? Because there’s something intrinsically formal about wearing fabric that touches the floor.

So wearing anything remotely similar to the office...

Photography by Getty Images We can’t ignore Kanye West, as much as we wish we could. By Natalie Michie Date October 26, 2022 Facebook Twitter I hate to say this, but we must discuss Kanye West. For weeks, the rapper — who now goes by Ye — has been publicly spreading hate speech on a downward spiral that threatens to end his career. Adidas finally severing ties with the problematic designer has all but sealed that fate. On October 25, the German sportswear label announced it was ending its longstanding...

Photography by Elaine Fancy For 50 years, Buffalo David Bitton has been helping people find their perfect pair of jeans. On one unpredictable outing in Utah, I learned how valuable that really is. By Natalie Michie Date October 24, 2022 Facebook Twitter As I struggled to keep my balance atop a bareback horse on a rustic ranch in Utah, I realized I had a problem. For starters, I was uncoordinated and nervous — a hazardous combination on its own. And it didn’t help that the horse I was on, Cricket,...

After nearly a decade away, the music legend is back and bolder than ever. By Natalie Michie Date October 21, 2022 Facebook Twitter Fefe Dobson has always been good at getting her point across. And when she emerged onto the early aughts pop rock music scene at just 18 years old, she kind of had to be. Back then, the genre was “a boy’s game,” she explains. “When I...
