Cocktail Dress Shapes, From Slinky Midis to Sequins

A cocktail dress no longer has to mean a stiff knee-length sheath. These are the shapes that feel current this fall, from slinky midis and sequins to a new take on the little black dress and silky minis worn with flat shoes.

L'Oréal Hair Color: Boxes, Root Touch-Ups, Colour Care And Gloss

L'Oréal hair color has been a drugstore argument since 1971, when a 23-year-old copywriter wrote Because I'm Worth It for Preference. Here is how I would choose between the boxes, cover the roots between colours and keep the result glossy afterwards.

What to Wear to Friendsgiving

What to Wear to Friendsgiving

Friendsgiving calls for the pieces that would feel too knowing at a family table: textured jackets, relaxed denim and a grounded boot. The mood works because the dinner is social rather than formal, so the outfit can carry a little more personality than usual. This edit builds the look around one strong texture and one calm supporting cast.

Kate Spade Perfume: The Colorful Lineup and Cheerful Florals

Clear Nail Polish Is the Most Grown-Up Manicure

Clear Nail Polish Is the Most Grown-Up Manicure

Clear nail polish is the manicure that never looks chipped, and a good top coat makes bare nails look shiny, healthy and finished. These are the clear top coats and sheer veils I trust, the base coats that protect, and the cuticle oils that keep everything looking cared for.

The Countryside Look Moved To Town

The Countryside Look Moved To Town

The countryside look moves to town when the reference gets edited down to texture and shape rather than full costume. Practical layers, sturdy knits, and equestrian hardware are showing up on ordinary city clothes instead of staying tied to a specific weekend. This edit gathers the shirts, jackets, and boots that carry the reference without overplaying it.

Lip Oil Replaced My Lip Gloss: Twelve I Keep in Every Bag

Lip Oil Replaced My Lip Gloss: Twelve I Keep in Every Bag

Lip oil quietly replaced lip gloss for a lot of people, because it gives the shine without the stickiness or the hair glued to your mouth. The formulas now range from sheer care oils to tinted jellies and stick versions. These twelve are the ones I would buy again, from the French houses to glossy everyday tubes.

I went back to The Ordinary Serum Foundation, the thin, shake-the-bottle base from Deciem's The Ordinary, and built an edit around it. Seven Ordinary skincare picks sit underneath, with four other serum foundations to finish.

Golden Hour Has A Dress Code

Golden Hour Has A Dress Code

Late sun is weighted to the red end, which is why gold reads and silver goes grey. Eight long dresses, eight plated gold pieces from $85, and heels with a base wide enough for a garden.

Australian Gold sunscreen comes from a brand that started on the Cocoa Beach surf scene in 1985 and now makes everyday lotions, sprays, tinted formulas and color without the sun.

The barn jacket, with its corduroy collar and roomy shape, has moved from the countryside to city streets. These outfits pair it with pleated trousers, a slip dress, jeans and knee boots, and a checked skirt. It works as well over something dressy as it does with denim.

The Morning-After Beauty Edit

The Morning-After Beauty Edit

A morning-after beauty routine has one job, closing the gap between how you feel and how the day already requires you to look. The instinct to fix everything at once usually backfires, since piling on products just adds fatigue to fatigue. This edit keeps it to an eye step, sun protection, one visible correction and a hair fix, in that order, nothing more elaborate than the morning can handle.
