TRANSGENDER CAMPAIGN H&M’s sister brand, & Other Stories just launched their latest ad campaign for their athleisure capsule collection, and it’s a game-changer. & Other Stories is taking the love affair between fashion and transgender culture a step further with their Fall campaign which was entirely modelled, shot and put together by a transgender creative team. Starring top models Hari Nef and Valentijn De Hingh, the shoot was photographed by Amos Mac, styled by Love Bailey and made-up by Nina Poon -- and it all looks real cute, as the campaign for their forthcoming athletic-inspired collection features lots of mesh, metallic and streamlined zip pockets at budget-friendly prices. “ We invited five amazing creatives, all transgender, to make our latest story” said creative director Sara Hildén Bengtson

STELLA MCCARTNEY LAUNCHES EYEWEAR COLLECTION Stella McCartney releases Falabella Eyewear, and it looks just as classic as the Falabella Bags. The designer has transferred the detailing on her it-bag onto the label’s fall/winter 2015-16 eyewear line. The distinctive feature of these accessories is the chain that turns into detailing over the frame and even over the arms. In collaboration with Kering Eyewear, McCartney launched Falabella Eyewear, a range of four sunglasses and two optical styles that feature the Falabella chain technique. The frames are available in black, tortoise, matte green and pink. The line also includes a new kids collection of cat eye styles – so your little ones can be just as chic!

Come thick eyebrows ala Cara Delevingne, a new trend emerges, called the lower eyelid. With the thickening of the eyebrows, the space on the upper lids becomes narrower, hence the lower lids are now garnering attention from beauty enthusiasts. Presenting KIYO KYO / FREELANCE MODEL KIYO_KYO This is brilliant! I’ve never imagined using my “lower lids” to make my eyes appear larger! Thank you Kate for the amazing trick, I have bigger, more beautiful eyes!

BEAUTY UPDATES - 3CE TEXT BY DAPHNE LOONG
MUACKZZ ! Ever struggled to find the right undertones in your foundation or lip colours? With 3CE being a top Korean brand, they have formulated most of their products to suit Asian skin and Asian skin tones - making it effortless for application and for pairing an on-point outfit. From “your lips but better” colours to vivid lip colours, 3CE’s lip collection carries a wide range of products and shades you are going to need (actually it’s a “want” but your boyfriend/husband/partner doesn’t need to know). They emphasize on long-lasting wear and some even come in a tint - dying your lips temporarily so re-application won’t be necessary (no icky “lip halos” here!).
WINK WINK !! As Asians, we are always complaining about our short and straight lashes. We want the curly-wurlys, come on! But enough of wishing and wanting, 3CE has got you covered with their collection of eye makeup - giving you bright eyes that pop! Introducing 3CE’s best-selling product: I’m Good Mascara, an oil-based, waterproof mascara that gives you curly, dolly lashes that lasts. Another one of 3CE’s hot product is their Super Slim Pen Eyeliner - a slim pen for precise application and naturally tints your skin as if it is tattooed; so, no ugly

smudges or smears, girls!
One of our biggest predicaments as Asians is our yellow-olive undertones. It is difficult to find a shade that matches our original skin tone or better yet brighten
and
improve
them.
This
is
where 3CE enters the room, strutting in to save the day with their range of foundation products. Made with pinkish tones to complement and brighten our undertones (no weird grey-ish hues, don’t worry!), 3CE has formulated some very sought-after products such as their Back to Baby B.B. Cream, a moisturizing and whitening B.B. Cream that leaves your skin feeling like a soft baby’s bum and their Glossing Waterful Foundation, an extra-hydrating foundation that leaves skin naturally glossy and dewy. You can now achieve your Korean superstar look sans plastic surgery with 3CE’s base product collection!

CHANEL LE VERNIS NAIL COLOR Introducing Collection les Automnales by Chanel, a collection that is inspired by Fall foliage. Ecorce Sanguine 671 is a brick red with hidden shimmery particles that is visible in bright lights. The Chataigne 669 is a deep dark chocolatey brown with a hint of eggplant in it. The jelly-like polish is shimmer-less but there is a rich, purpley brown that borders on black every now and again. The Vert Obscur 679 is a classic-with-a-twist hue for the autumn season, another jelly that borders between deep forest green and black. Also in this collection are April 533, a vintage red with a slight hint of berry and Provocation 599, a brilliant plum shade. W W W.C H A N E L .C O M / E N _ M Y

At the age of 20, he worked for designer K o j i Ta t s u n o , s o m e o n e w h o s e r o o t s w e r e also in British tailoring.

FALL COLLECTION MEN READY TO WEAR Psychedelic monsters was the theme of Marc by Marc Jacobs’ Men’s ready to wear collection. One-eyed monsters in splashes of bold colours to be exact. The sweatshirts, bomber jackets, backpacks and tech accessories feature digitally hand-printed kaleidoscope prints of creatures. If colours aren’t your cup of java, the same patterns are available in grey and white as well. The technical rich silhouettes can be seen on outerwear, parkas and nylon bomber jackets.

The Marc Jacobs Fall 2015 Women’s collection featured a ‘Downtown Abbey’ vibe that was dark and saw notes of the 20s. From librarian chic plaid dresses, patent leather shoes, black gloves, fur lapels and surprises like a pink coat with embroidery trim, Jacobs’ grandeur creations are ripe for the picking. 1 .

MARC JACOB FALL HANDBAG

“I love to take things that are everday and comforting and make them into the most luxurious things in the world.” This probably explains why many women have their eyes glaze over at the sight of a Marc Jacobs bag – the rest simply cannot compare. The same is prevalent in the designer’s latest Fall 2015 bag collection. The lady like themed bags featured fur, leopard prints and boxy shapes. One of the more stand out designs is a bag that’s sure to turn heads. The Marc Jacobs Printed Lamb and Skunk Mischief is constructed from calf leather, printed lamb and skunk hair.

The unique waxed stitching detail, top handle, turn lock closure called ‘the pill’ and antique silver hardware makes the Mischief great to house all your essentials. 1. SOFT CALF MISCHIEF 2 . D O M O B I K E R B AC K PAC K 3. PRINTED LAMB AND SKUNK MISCHIEF

It is not going to be an easy feat to be faced with physical barriers you have not encountered before but things happen in the field that may surprise you.

WHY FRUIT JUICES ARE A LIE
Fruit juices are probably the healthiest beverage you think you can grab from the supermarket. Its labelled shouts about the pulpiness and vitamins you get - full of vitamin C, vitamin B1, zinc and all the 100% juice - oh, so healthy! But nope; I hate to break it to you but the truth is, store bought fruit juices contain a lot of harmful effects to your body and adds little benefits to your health. Here are 5 things your fruit juices are not telling you:
1. YOUR FRUIT JUICE MIGHT HAVE HARMFUL CHEMICALS IN THEM
2. YOUR FRUIT JUICE’S NUTRIENTS ARE OFTEN LIMITED
3. YOUR FRUIT JUICE IS BASICALLY SUGAR WATER

Ye s , w e a r e s t i l l t a l k i n g a b o u t the loaded sugar in these drinks and having too much of something is always bad for you. In this case, drinking too much of fruit juices can cause gout in women, a painful form of arthritis.

They are certainly not natural and 100% pure juice as some would claim and if you are afraid of falling into their traps, just eat your fruits and nobody gets hurt.
5. YOUR FRUIT JUICE CONSUMPTION MAY BE LINKED TO RISK OF DIABETES
It is no surprise that your sugar laden fruit juice comes with a risk of diabetes. With all the unnecessary consumption of sugar in your daily diet, the danger is posed when you are unaware of the effects fruit juice has on your diet and your health. Science tells us that people who drink fruit juice has an 8% increased risk of getting diabetes whereas eating fruits such as grapes, apples, pears and blueberries can lower your risk. It is not a good day for those of you who enjoy your cup of OJ in the morning or glug down Florida’s Naturals like your life depends on it because these juices can actually increase resistance to insulin. If you must have your daily dosage of fruits, it is highly recommended to eat them whole - pulp, juice, vitamins and all.

HOW DO TERRARIUMS BENEFIT YOUR HEALTH ? Gardening, often times, is regarded as a form of therapy - a mind-numbing action that allows you to function with your subconscious and feel a sense of lightness. The same effect happens with growing your own terrarium. A terrarium is like a metaphor to life and its adversities - it shows you that attention and care towards a subject will more often than not reap delightful results. The act of caring for a terrarium is also stress-relieving, especially when growth is e v i d e n t a n d t h e n a t u r a l c o l o r s o f g r e e n , g r e y, w h i t e and brown are always calming to the soul.
