Astrology intends to connect us with the natural rhythms and cycles of the world around us. We can see ourselves as a part of these rhythms, and are affected by them on all levels of our being. If you look around now in the northern hemisphere, the earth is preparing for its deep winter sleep. […]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but summer is basically over. The moment that hits us is always bleak, but then we remember that fall is actually awesome, so it passes pretty quickly. It’s been a while since we’ve gone back-to-school shopping, but we’re definitely ready for back-to, uh, not-cutoffs-and-a-tank shopping. To make […]

What’s your updo horoscope? » Is there any beauty task more daunting than keeping hair off the back of your neck when it’s humid outside? Updos are obviously the answer but what kind?

Find out what your nail art horoscope is »

We’re totally into the idea of letting our zodiac signs determine our beauty routines. From lipstick horoscopes to choosing a signature fragrance, there’s something we love about leaving it all up to the stars. Perhaps it’s the forever indecisive nature that comes with being surrounded by endless beauty products, but having these decisions made for us by the universe is what lazy (and crazy!) girls live for.

When it comes to experimenting with beauty, while things like bold haircuts and bright liners may not be for the faint of heart, even the shyest of beauty-lovers have no problem playing around with their nails. That’s why this week, we’re exploring nail art horoscopes. Are you a shy and sensitive Cancer? A dark and brooding Scorpio? Or maybe you subscribe to the school of YOLO like only a Leo can. Whatever your sign, we’ve got your nail art horoscope covered.

If I were to add up all of the hours of my life I’ve spent searching for the perfect signature fragrance, the results would surely be alarming and disturbing. I know I’m not alone in this lifelong quest, and yet the answer has been right in front of me (and you! us!) the whole time. Well actually, it’s been right above us. More and more people these days are looking toward the stars to better understand their personal sense of style and their preferences when it comes to hair, makeup and, yes, fragrance. With that in mind, I turned to the zodiac to find out more about perfume horoscopes.

Learn all about lipstick horoscopes »

If you read your horoscope this morning, it probably mentioned the usual—career, love life, family. What it probably didn’t tell you, though, was what lip shade you should choose. Thankfully, that’s where we come in, ready with your lipstick horoscopes for the weekend.

We’ve found the shades that best suit each zodiac sign, so when you get ready to head out tonight, you can leave your makeup look in the hands of the stars.

See which sign your favourite designers belong to »

Ever wondered why so many designers share similar signature styles? Well, you shouldn’t, because it’s written in the stars. Since astrology is the trend du jour, it seems only fitting to explore the different aesthetics of our favourite labels by looking into the signs of the designers behind them. In other words, we present to you a guide to the fashion zodiac.

From dark and mysterious Scorpios to elegant and refined Libras, we can learn a lot about fashion’s elite by studying the zodiac signs they belong to.

In case you haven’t noticed, astrology has become a major thing within the fashion crowd over the past couple of years. While it was once considered silly to consult the stars (or rather,  to consult astrologers who understand the stars) before making big changes in relationships, career and living situations, it’s now completely acceptable—and obviously chic—to do so.

Taking that one step further is Parisian It brand Kenzo, who recently launched Kenzodiac, an astrological site that fuses the stars with fashion (a deliciously intriguing sentence if I’ve ever written one). It features sketches by artist Julien Ceccaldi and offers monthly horoscope readings for each sign about the usual mysteries of life, love, money, career, as well as, duh, fashion.

According to mega-astrologist Susan Miller, there is a crazy strong eclipse coming tonight that will trigger major changes for many in the zodiac. Especially those born today, which luckily or unluckily includes me. It’s certainly got me spooked, and warding off any bad sides of the eclipse is especially on my mind right now. I […]

Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, born on Aug. 19, 1883, was a true Leo. Bronze and marble lions litter the interior of 31 Rue Cambon, where she spent her life; in Lausanne, where she now lies, five lions sit etched on her tombstone. Beginning in the 1920s, the buttons of her soft tweed suits often bore symbols, including lion’s heads, and, as befits her leonine birthright, those suits won her king-sized fame. And yet, in the ’30s, Chanel found herself eclipsed by a Virgo.

Elsa Schiaparelli, born on Sept. 10, 1890, spent her childhood surveying the heavens. Her uncle, Giovanni, was a well-known astronomer, and it was he who pointed out that the moles on her face formed the constellation Ursa Major. In Schiaparelli’s 1938 Zodiac collection, the constellation glitters over the left shoulder of a blue velvet jacket that’s as lushly bizarre as Chanel tweeds are classic. Together, she and Chanel set up fashion’s organizing dichotomy—high art or expensive habit?—and they remain the century’s most important couturiers.

They loathed each other. Schiaparelli referred to commercial, streetwise Chanel as “that milliner,” while Chanel called the surreally cool Schiap “that Italian artist who makes clothes.” In fact, besides talent and mutual disdain, the only thing these two had in common was a belief in the very system that best explains their differences.
