The transitional season is tough. Summer slowly fades away as winter snaps its frosty fingers. Daily dressing becomes more challenging than Takeshi's castle. Shivering in the morning and peeling clothes off come mid-day faster than you can snap, 'of-f**king-course' when Netflix judgmentally asks if 'you're still watching?'. To distract from these temperamental times, read below for your list of interesting things that don't involve Matryoshka doll-like layering or in fact braving the outdoors in anyway.
How to live better
Not knowing what to wear isn't the only dilemma. With cold snaps and intermittent sun bursts, comes flu-season and vitamin-poppin' aplenty. And nothing demands a vow of healthy living, clean eating and a commitment to exercise three twice a week, than the first sniffle of a cold. Though made in good faith, enthusiasm falters by the time the last Kleenex has been used and thus all promises are forgotten. However, all is not lost, read this for tips on surviving and thriving in life...
A little more Clueless
The nights are drawing in, the temperature is baltic and cups of tea plural are necessary to thaw you out. Dire, if you plan on leaving the house ever. Perfect, if hibernating is your intended pastime this winter. And nothing adds to this atmosphere of cosy contentment than a good ol' film, or perhaps a remake of a good ol' film. With the shiniest of hair and a penchant for calling out the ensemble-y challenged, Clueless created a fashion moment and continues to spurn a fashion movement. Inspiring Halloween costumes, fashion collections and countless memes. With news of a remake in the works, I'm committed to sourcing a Dr Seuss-esque hat and stocking up on plaid everything, yellow preferably of course.
Which witch is it anyway?
Nostalgia must be the trend of the season as the contagion for reboots continues. Another blonde stalwart of the 90's is revisited this fall; Sabrina. Yes the teenage witch, this time however, restyled in a darker vein, with gore, a looming pact with the devil and a non-talking Salem the cat, not to mention a new name: The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. Being loyal to the original, it's difficult to remain unbiased and watch without comparison, - this is my childhood after all. However, the shift from old to new was tempered greatly by this. Definitely worth a watch, even if only to quell the curiosity.
To shave or not to shave : your choice
I pride myself on publishing hard hitting stories that revolve around current affairs (namely in the fashion sphere), but this is one that truly is breaking news... women have hair other than that on their heads. Though truly shocking, I implore you to read this and this. Sarcasm aside, destabilising gendered norms (i.e a woman or man should look/act/do a certain thing/way based solely on stereotypical troupes of what it is to be a man/woman) is something to be encouraged and fully endorsed.
Time to dress down
Halloween is nigh on upon us and with that the onslaught of costumes tormenting social media feeds. For those of us willing to spend three hours recreating a twenty-minute make-up tutorial, including prosthetics, contact lenses and enough glitter to warrant numerous hosings down, yet refuses to compromise on footwear comfort, this one is for you.
The ugliest time of year
And despite just unloosing Halloween gifts of comfort upon you, the toll of Christmas rings and with it, the clang of ugly Christmas jumper season. With plenty of time yet to invest in one, or if for you Christmas jumper day is in fact the whole of December, stock up on more. Whatever your Christmas jumper proficiency, read this for tips on how to outfit the ugliness.
