‘The Queen’s Gambit’ and your New Year’s fashion trends

 

By now most of us have binged The Queen’s Gambit and Emily in Paris. And while people are taking fashion cues from the series, there’s a fashion topic that hasn’t been covered enough in their wake: hats. Thanks to lead actresses Lily Collins and Anya Taylor Joy, hat trends are drastically shifting back to styles we were seeing in the Roaring Twenties, and 50s and 60s.

Founded in 1921 and family-run, America’s leading hat seller Tenth Street Hats has recently released a line of both berets and cloches that perfectly embody the shows’ styles. As we head in 2021, Roaring Twenties styles are in full force, and we have the best hats to pay homage to that iconic decade.

If cloches and berets aren’t your style, we also have a Style Quiz that you can take to find another hat that suits your style

The Perfect Raincoat – what every woman needs

A raincoat is an indispensable wardrobe piece that comes in a variety of designs. It’s an important part of attire that every woman needs in their closet. Your closet may be full of coats that you wonder whether you really need, for instance, a women’s slicker. Perhaps a hoodie can work on occasion, or you can decide to grab a windbreaker for the cold and windy days. But, really, nothing is so useful as a quality  womens raincoat, and you will be glad to have one for any season. 

A proper raincoat has vacuum-packed seams, a Mackintosh shell, and closures that stop rain from penetrating. And since  a proper raincoat won’t absorb vapor, staying warm and dry is guaranteed. With a quality women’s raincoat, you will notice the benefits right away. You should look for a raincoat with a modifiable hood so that you can preserve your hair and make up while running through the raindrops.

If you prefer a thin jacket, be aware that it will get drenched in a rainstorm, and the look you’re wearing beneath it might end up wringing wet. One of the best ways to keep your  garments in good condition is by shielding them from a bad climate. Don’t have your look toned down by the rain.

To keep your make up intact,  to avoid runny mascara, wrecked foundation and unkempt hair, choose a hooded raincoat.  Pull it above your head once you feel the initial raindrop, and you’ll preserve your look intact. A spacious hood is the best to preserve your hair style.

A resilient women’s raincoat is essential if you reside in soggy and cold places. Yes, you may be have a favorite jacket, but this will not be adequate in the rain fall. You can be comfortable and protected with a lined raincoat.

In the rainy season, a raincoat is a  must to be included in your kid’s closet. This will give your little one a chance to play outdoors when raining and be well covered and protected from the elements.

Of course, you will need some resilient rain boots for damp and rainy days. Even a quick run to the shopping mall can definitely ruin your shoes in the rain, so  a purchase of Mackintosh footwear is a good choice, ensuring a compliment to your rainy day look. 

Choose your perfect raincoat, one or more and you won’t dread those rainy days so much.

New Gift ideas for the kids who have everything.

Choosing a gift for your child or for a family member should be a straightforward process. But if you’re already at risk of duplicating a gift from another family member, or you’re not familiar with purchasing gifts for kids then it’s easy to feel a little overwhelmed. Another major issue is finding something that the recipient will actually use and enjoy. Finding the right gift for the child who has everything isn’t easy!

After all, the last thing you want is for your gift to be neglected under a pile of other toys and forgotten presents. Finding a meaningful gift can feel a little daunting, which is why I’ve gathered some simple gift ideas for the kids who have everything! You can also check out the amazing range of thoughtful children’s toys on this site. Read on to find out more.

Sponsor an endangered animal

If you have a budding conservationist and animal lover at home, then this kind of gift will certainly brighten up their day. Signing up to a yearly sponsorship for their favorite wild animal is simple and easy, it’s also pretty unique! Whether you sponsor an animal directly through an international charity, a local or national site or you sponsor an animal via your local zoo, your recipient will get to enjoy regular updates and mail from their chosen animal and even additional gifts! If you decide to sponsor an animal locally, you could plan a visit to their enclosure to see them up close.

Photos and memories

Instead of keeping all your photos stuck inside your phone, you could bring them to life and incorporate them into your child’s gift instead. From scrapbook content to classic photo albums, or even special photographs encased in a cool frame that they can hang in their room. There are plenty of options (and photos) to choose from.

The gift of reading

Is your little recipient a bit of a book worm? If so, gifting them books makes perfect sense. However, why not introduce them to a new series or author? Better yet, gift them some of your favourite childhood titles. From Harry Potter to the Secret Garden, Roald Dahl classics or Little Women. Alternatively, gift them a different genre, such as poetry, graphic novels or even traditional comic books. 

A musical instrument 

The gift of music is one that everyone can enjoy. And it’s something that will keep your recipient occupied for months or even years as they try to master notes, keys, strings, reeds and their favourite tunes. You could even pay for them to have lessons via video call or Zoom until they can have face-to-face tuition. This simple gift could be the gateway to a life-long passion or even a career!

And finally, something sporty

Does your recipient have a passion for sport? If so, they might love some new equipment so they can continue to enhance their skills while school and team sports are postponed. Sports and training equipment, new footwear or boots or sports kits – find out what they need, or if they’re missing something and spoil them with it. They’ll certainly appreciate you taking such an interest in their passion for sports!

5 Easy Secrets To Ageless And Radiant Beauty

For some women, nothing matters more than a glowing and ageless complexion. Those women will make any investment to look young and radiant. But they need not spend a fortune or dedicate hours to a daily skincare routine. A little care goes a long way when it comes to keeping your skin free of signs of aging down the years. Here are some easy secrets shared by top dermatologists and estheticians to help you look young and beautiful even as you grow older.

Feed your skin

Unbelievably, your skin can retain its glow and suppleness if you eat well enough. A balanced diet is the mainstay of a great skincare regime, and it is also the easiest thing to do. Load up on fresh fruits and veggies, whole grains, nuts and seeds, low-fat dairy, and beans and legumes. These foods are capable of repairing the skin cells and keeping them glowing and young. Apart from picking the right foods, steering clear of processed foods and sugar can also make a difference. 

Don’t skimp on sun protection

Another simple secret to good skincare is staying ahead of your sun protection routine. Never miss out on sunscreen when you step out, even when it is cloudy outside. Regular exposure to UV rays can cause dryness and expedite the aging process with the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots. Pick the right SPF and apply it thoroughly on your face and neck for complete coverage.

Opt for chemical-free products

All the fancy skincare products and cosmetics that you use may cause more harm than good because they are loaded with harmful chemicals. Switch to natural alternatives such as cbd oil and CBD-based creams and lotions. It is the latest beauty trend that is earning acclaim because of good reasons. CBD offers extensive benefits for your skin, as it nourishes from within, curbs inflammation, and prevents acne, fine lines, and age spots.

Steer clear of stress

Stress is an invisible enemy that goes beyond causing a host of physical and mental health issues. It shows up on your skin too, as you may end up with the signs of premature aging sooner than you expect. Fortunately, it is possible to steer clear of stress with a positive mindset and healthy lifestyle changes. Indulge in your favorite hobby, exercise regularly, and meditate to stay calm and happy, and you will glow naturally. 

Get adequate sleep

Another simple secret to ageless skin is getting adequate sleep, but it is something most women overlook. When you sleep, the skin cells get to work, repairing, and rejuvenating themselves. Not getting enough sleep means you are missing out on that opportunity. Maintain good sleep hygiene with regular sleep times and cut down screen time once you are in bed. A cup of herbal tea at bedtime can do wonders for good sleep.

Even as these are open secrets, embracing them as a part of your routine is easier said than done. But making conscious efforts can help you create a skincare regimen that works without burning a hole in your pocket.
