May 29, 2020 at 09:05PM Biker shorts seem to be a dime a dozen these days, so how do you find the best ones? Well I went on a mission to find out. I started this shopping journey because as I’m staying at home I’ve been mostly rocking sweatpants and leggings. As the weather warms, and my small apartment doesn’t have air conditioning, I’m trying to stay cool. A pair of comfy biker seems like the right way to go; something I can mix and match with anything around my house and rock outside, too. After searching endlessly on the internet, I found nothing that was fitting my bill. I wanted a design that didn’t feel like workout clothes and was breathable. Eventually, I came across the Yummie Mel Cotton Stretch Shaping Biker Shorts ($38) and they sold me for a few reasons. Not only are they made from breathable cotton, but they’re also a flattering choice. The shorts feature a two-ply signature waistband that help to hold you in and control your mid-section. This makes me feel more secure than ever. But the one thing that makes my favorite is that they’re just so comfortable. The brand designed these shorts after its bestselling leggings. Made to slim your hips and keep you feeling your best, you just can’t go wrong with this affordable option. I find myself wearing them all day around the house, on walks outside, and running errands. If you’ve been on the hunt for your next

Texture Talk: 4 At-Home Deep Conditioning Treatments to Revive Curly Hair
May 29, 2020 at 07:32PM Welcome to Texture Talk, a new weekly column that celebrates and deep dives into the dynamic world of curls, from springy S-patterns to densely-packed coils — because curly hair is far from one big category. This week is all about the best at-home deep conditioning treatments that work on all curls, plus are easily accessible during this self-isolation period. In mid-March, I was all set and scheduled to visit my hairstylist for a much-needed trim and salon treatment to finally rid me of my split ends. Then the outside world began to shut down and quarantine life began. Now, more than two months into stay-at-home orders, and my type 4 curls have found themselves under major strain, becoming increasingly dry, brittle and lifeless — and so has my energy to really do anything about it. But this past Sunday I was forced to light a self-care fire under my butt as I traded in my once-fantasized — and planned — big white wedding nuptials for a small, virtual wedding ceremony. It ended being a marvellous affair, and my coils were equally as excellent. That’s because as I was DIYing my own wash-and-go curl routine Sunday morning, I decided to try the keratin protein and black rice-spiked Nexxus Keraphix Masque ($6) that I had picked up at Shoppers Drug Mart. Courtesy of Nexxus Canada I applied it thoroughly throughout my hair after I shampooed, and left it in for about 15 to 20 minutes while I
How Calgary’s Honubelle is Making Inclusive Swimwear That’s Stylish and Sustainable
May 29, 2020 at 07:02PM Launched over ten years ago, Alberta-based swimwear brand Honubelle continues to push the dial when it comes to the style world’s most important topics. “I love to portray women of all shapes, sizes and colours,” says founder Julia Barnes about Honubelle’s approach to design and photography. Here, Barnes shares more about the sustainability-focused vision behind her line, why inclusive representation is important to her, and how Canada’s natural beauty proves as inspiring as those who wear her designs. Tell us about starting the brand. Do you have a background in design? I don’t. I actually have a background in accounting. But I always wanted to design; actually it was more about making garments and garment production that I was interested in. I dabbled in making a few things here and there for myself and friends, and I thought to myself, ok, I love sewing and creating but I need to find my voice in that. It was so obvious yet somehow so hidden—it’s surf culture that I’ve always felt that I belonged to in a way, so that’s what I wanted to create. At first it wasn’t apparent what that was going to look like, but over the years the more I thought about it, I thought swimwear was what I wanted to create. So, I married my passion for wind and surf sports with trying to come up with a swimwear brand. View this post on Instagram urban dreams * thanks @karleensamson for reminding
