Casa Kahlo offers an unprecedented look into the famed Mexican painter's family home, Casa Roja, which stands just blocks away from Casa Azul in Mexico City. Kahlo would retreat to Casa Roja when Casa Azul got crazy.

The launch of Olaplex invalidated the assertion that the only way to fix damaged hair is to cut it. It used a patented ingredient to strengthen and rebuild all types of hair bonds ravaged by bleach, colour and other chemical or heat treatments.

I got fired, which is a good thing. And I didn't know what I was going to do. It was the first time in so many years.

After a bumpy first couple of weeks, which shamefully involved a few tears on a rowing machine, I began to hit my stride.

Emily Porter found a woven sweater labeled 'Maria Rodriguez Chicago' at a resale shop, highlighting the significance of local designers in Chicago's fashion history.

My sh*t was chopped suey. There was the at-home bleaching in my early 20s, then the breakage, and finally returning to the recipes I grew up with.

"They're everyday professionals who simply don't have the time to shop the traditional way," said Kneen about J. Hilburn customers. Instead, stylists manage fit, fabrics and wardrobe planning, effectively outsourcing the entire process for busy professionals.

Like those, it scours our culture's incessant preoccupation with physical beauty, both the lusting for it and the lengths we will go to get and keep it. But The Beauty possess a mind of its own as it expounds on rich themes that Murphy's been interested in, mixing humor with black humor while he comments on sinfully glamorous lifestyles and the dark side of human nature and desire.

I am familiar with this feeling. Breadcrumb trails of heat lead to pain that's called minor, pressure that's called surprising. Rooms like this-the salon where my scalp scalds as my curls burn away or the aesthetician's office where I lie as vulnerable as I might in a hospital bed-are drenched in anxiety's musk, scented with antibacterial spray.

Take, for instance, the grunge-y eyeliner at both Marc Jacobs and Ashlyn, where dramatic black waterlines added '90s-inspired edge. Or the voluminous hairstyles at Collina Strada and Ralph Lauren, both of which embraced the "undone" beauty movement. Many runways have also leaned into a lived-in look for hair and glam - a welcome aesthetic for cool girls and makeup novices alike.

Travelling for art can be incredibly virtuous and culturally rewarding, like collecting souvenirs for your eyes (and from the post card rail in the gift shop). Remembering to research what is on before I book flights is a lesson I learnt all too well after I missed the Metropolitan Museum's fashion exhibition in 2016 by one day. As a fashion obsessed 20 something, I did not take this well and have since improved my itinerary planning and exhibition calendar checking.

Teyana Taylor showcased the maximalist layering technique of piling unexpected pieces atop one another, as seen on the runways of Thom Browne and Loewe. Completely decked out in Hermès, the Straw actor wore a collared oat jacket with long, billowy sleeves, left completely open for a skin-baring twist. It was styled with a printed scarf that looped around the collar, evoking a makeshift vest.

Basically, it's what happens when the siren versus doe eyes debate calls a truce - which, in an internet landscape obsessed with beauty standoffs, actually feels like the winning move. Softness has been having a moment across trends (see: blurred lips, ghost lashes, and everything described as "diffused"), after all. As spring leans into makeup that looks alive, the baby deer style feels like a natural next step. It's sweet but not too innocent, wide-eyed with a slightly sharper edge.
