The nights are drawing in and the temperatures are dropping, which means it's time to start wrapping up. And the best way to do so while still looking chic is to take your cues from those in colder climates. Scandinavians in particular know a thing or two about keeping warm while staying stylish. One of the most recent and chicest warming accessories we've seen worn in Nordic climes and sold by Scandinavian brands is the balaclava or knitted hood. Commonly associated with keeping children's heads warm in winter, the balaclava has reached adulthood in the last couple of years and...

Vacation outfits don’t come naturally to me. The demanding schedule and constant climate adaptations that come with traveling means packing for a vacation will often clash with my desire to put on looks that are fashionable, but impractical. After years of over-packing and putting my feet through the pain of wearing inappropriate shoes for hours-long sightseeing trips, I finally got down to perfecting a capsule wardrobe for joyous travel.  Ahead of a seven-day trip to Portugal, where I’d be in temperatures ranging from 40 to 65 degrees and would visit both historical places and natural landscapes, it seemed like the...

On the surface, there are no morally gray areas in May December. The Todd Haynes drama, out in theatres and on Netflix now, follows the semi-fictional tabloid story of a 36-year-old woman who rightfully goes to jail after getting caught having sex with a 13-year-old boy in Savannah in the ‘90s. Twenty years later, a movie is being made about the now-married couple, Gracie and Joe (played by Julianne Moore and Charles Melton), in which a TV star with questionable intentions, Elizabeth (Natalie Portman), is set to play the former. But while Gracie sees the film as an opportunity “to...

When I first started hearing people rave about how good Abercrombie & Fitch’s new plus-size denim was, I was skeptical, to say the least. Like many women who grew up in the era of Abercrombie’s shirtless models store associates and low-rise jeans that didn’t go above size L, it seemed almost unfathomable that I’d want to shop in a place that had excluded me for so long. But as I learned about the changes in leadership and philosophy at the brand, and continued seeing some of my trusted plus fashion contemporaries become Abercrombie converts, I had to see for myself...

“I arrived in New York City in 1978 with just $35,” Madonna shared with her fans while opening The Celebration Tour in London’s O2 arena last month. It’s not the first time the 65-year-old superstar has shared this rags-to-riches detail about a young Madonna Louise Ciccone trying to get her big break in the big city — but it is the first time doing so while nostalgically looking back on her entire career.  It’s not like Madonna to dwell on the past, so a tour featuring four decades of her greatest hits has come as something of a surprise to...

There are many things you can do to celebrate a special occasion or milestone: throw a party, have cake, buy a meaningful gift.
