June 10, 2020 at 09:30PM Anna Kendrick plays Darby in HBO Max’s Love Life, a series that spotlights none other than the main character’s love life over the course of eight years (2012-2020). Though it sounds like a pretty straightforward storyline, it’s complex in that it challenges you to look within, because actually, a lot of the phases Darby goes through are pretty relatable – and that extends to her closet and the outfits she puts on based on who she’s with or what she’s doing. I talked to costume designer Jackie Demeterio about the process of dressing Kendrick, along with the other characters in the show – Zoe Chao plays Sara, Darby’s roommate – who was amazing to dress in her own right. “She had that downtown party girl thing and it just worked so well on her,” Jackie told me. But I was really interested in the way Darby’s wardrobe was crafted. “When [Bradley and Darby] start dating, she starts to become what she thinks is more sophisticated and cooler and wears what will fit into HIS world.” “In the first episode, creator/director Sam [Boyd] had said to me he would like for me to keep [Darby] in flats. I knew she was going to try and get more sophisticated for Bradley in episode 2 and I had to have her start out in a place so we could see her evolve over time. At the beginning, the flats for me symbolized her youth and beginnings in NYC

20 Audiobooks About Race and Racism to Download and Learn From
June 10, 2020 at 07:32PM Anti-racism reading lists have been doing the rounds over the last couple of weeks. But rather than just a performative display of allyship, we hope this movement brings about real change, which will only be possible if people make the genuine effort to seek out Black voices, read more about systemic and structural racism, and do the work to unpack the implicit bias and racial disparities that have led us to this moment. We recently shared a roundup of 72 books, movies, podcasts and resources to educate yourself on anti-Black racism, but if audiobooks are more your thing, these 20 titles—some narrated by the authors themselves—are a good place to start. You can find audiobooks at Audible, Google Play, Scribd, Apple Books, Overdrive, Libro and various other iOS and Android apps. Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates Hailed by Toni Morrison as “required reading,” this book addresses questions about American history, the idea of “race,” and the Black experience in the form of an intimate and urgent letter written by the author to his adolescent son. The audiobook is narrated by the author, Ta-Nehisi Coates, adding to the personal weight of the book. Length: 3 hours and 35 minutes The Skin We’re In by Desmond Cole In a 2015 cover story for Toronto Life, Desmond Cole exposed the racist actions of the Toronto police force, detailing the dozens of times he had been stopped and interrogated under the controversial practice of carding. His

The 6 Skin Products Experts Say Every 30-Something Should Have in Their Routine
June 10, 2020 at 06:30PM There’s no doubt that as we get older, our skin’s wants and needs begin to change. While skincare routines of our late teens and early twenties might have focused heavily on oil-absorbing products that worked to keep breakouts in check, as we enter our thirties, it’s likely that other, more pressing skin issues start cropping up. For instance, spots of pigmentation might start surfacing, fine lines may begin to form and skin that was once plump and glowing could appear lacklustre and dull. The sorry truth is that as we enter our thirties, all of the stuff that makes our skin naturally healthy starts to deteriorate. “By the time we get to our thirties, we have around 50% collagen left in our skin. Hyaluronic acid production also slows down and cellular turnover only hits us around every four to six weeks. Everything starts to slow down,” says celebrity facialist, Michaella Bolder. So what exactly does all of this mean? And how can we help minimise the affects of ageing on our skin? To help decode everything there is to know about caring for skin in your thirties, I caught up with some of the top skincare experts in the business. Unsurprisingly, I found that, for the most part, they all preached the same message: As we make our way into our thirties, certain ingredients simply cannot be compromised on. Keeping scrolling for the six products they seriously recommend and to shop the best formulas out there. As we enter our thirties, it’s
