By now, we’ve all settled down after Beyoncé teased us with her “big news.” As it turns out, she wasn’t announcing a new album or tour; she was simply informing us that she was vegan (again)—for 22 days. Let’s try to move past this disappointment and take away something positive from Queen Bey’s nutrition move. A […]

The post A beginner’s guide to going Vegan appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

Not only is being vegan the diet du jour for what feels like most of Instagram these days (thank you, Beyoncé), but it’s also been on our trend radars for the past few seasons. The common perception of vegan fashion is that it’s more about what you can’t wear vs. what you can, but there […]

If shopping is your mood booster of choice, listen up: Lush’s highly anticipated, two-years-in-the-making colour collection is taking retail therapy one step further.

One of my favourite things about New York is that whatever your particular dietary preference or challenge, you can find a stylish restaurant, bakery and brunch spot, at the very least, that seems designed for you alone. On a recent visit, I found Babycakes NYC. This sweetly stylish vegan, gluten-, dairy- and refined sugar-free bakery (beloved by Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel) serves up light, fluffy, moist cupcakes, cookie sandwiches, brownies and macaroons. For a person who has long forsaken the joys of a chocolate cupcake with creamy vanilla frosting (not me, I’ll confess, but my fellow), it’s quite a revelation.

Unfortunately, the bakery won’t deliver to Canada (something about frosting melting in the customs line), but now its founder, Erin McKenna, has shared her secrets in a recipe book (Clarkson Potter, $28)!
