Fashion designer Lesley Hampton and Hudson’s Bay collab on beauty advent calendar

Filled with over 30 full- and travel-size beauty goodies from brands such as YSL, MAC, Nars and L’Occitane, this year’s holiday beauty calendar from Hudson’s Bay will not disappoint. To take it to the next level, the store partnered with Lesley Hampton to create the reusable calendar in the Canadian designer’s signature palette, along with design elements that reflect her Anishinaabe indigeneity, such as the Ojibwe expression Mino Bimaadiziwin, which translates to ‘the good life.’ With the sale of each calendar, 10 per cent of net proceeds will go to Hudson’s Bay Foundation’s charitable partner Indspire,

You’ll look frighteningly good this year.

On the hunt for some chic last-minute Halloween costume ideas? Us, too. Naturally, we turned to the Spring/Summer 2022 runways for some much needed inspiration, and thankfully, the season’s catwalks did not disappoint.

We couldn’t help but feel transported by this year’s collections — think Loewe’s cinched red track suit (Squid Game, anyone?) or Blumarine’s nostalgia-inducing wares, featuring Y2K staples such as butterflies, low-waisted denim and slip dresses, serving all the inspo you need to live out your Paris Hilton dreams this October 31.

Kind Science promises a fresh take on skincare and a dose of “age positivity.”

Ellen DeGeneres just launched her own skincare brand, Kind Beauty, and suddenly we’re transported back to the controversy of summer 2020.

In announcing the collection, released on October 26, DeGeneres said she chose the name Kind Beauty because the line is “kind to animals, kind to your skin, kind to the planet and kind to your wallet.” Products range from US$22 to US$48 and have been created in collaboration with beauty industry figurehead Victoria Jackson. The name is also a play on the comedian’s motto and the tagline featured in each episode of her long-running talk show (now in its final season) The Ellen DeGeneres Show: “Be kind.”

Billie Eilish will drop her first fragrance next month

This week on her Instagram, Billie Eilish announced her first foray into the beauty world with Eilish by Billie Eilish, a new fragrance set to drop in November. The surprisingly gourmand perfume is an ode to her favourite aroma: vanilla, a scent which Eilish told Vogue brings back memories of baking with her mom. Rounding out the rest of the notes are equally warm and cozy scents perfect for the fragrance’s pre-holiday release, including spices, cocoa and amber. Who knew all the “Happier Than Ever” singer ever wanted was a cup of hot chocolate and a cashmere wrap?

Platforms take the high ground as the temperature takes a downturn.

Remember the infamous Jeffrey Campbell Litas? The polarizing platform heeled boots were all the rage in the 2010s, and now a renaissance of sorts is upon us. Some might attribute the trend of taller statement boots to our (however slow) recovery from a period of social and economic hardships — after a year and a half (and counting) of the pandemic, everyone is ready to go higher, bigger and brighter when it comes to footwear, and fashion in general.

The return of ’90s/2000s fashion is bringing with it the iconic platform boot, taking inspiration from The Spice Girls, Bratz Dolls and other pop culture fixtures of that era. Most recently, a street style shot of Olivia Rodrigo in a pair of red patent Naked Wolfe platform boots took
