In today’s world, restless minds are indication enough of the pervasive high stress levels plaguing our everyday well-being. But not quite as distinct is the precarious amount of tension we’re unknowingly storing—make that hoarding—in our bodies day in and day out. And while hitting the gym or taking a yoga class can do wonders for releasing muscular tension, it can be difficult to make these things habitual due to our increasingly busy schedules. And that’s where self-myofascial release, a form of self-massage by way of foam-rolling, offers a game-changing solution. Described by Maya Jocelyn, founder of Brooklyn-based holistic health and arts center Studio Maya, as a “one-size-fits-all approach to stretching,” the alternative medicine therapy is equal parts accessible, effective, and time-saving. “It’s extremely efficient in that you can use your body weight to create pressure and give yourself a substantial massage, accessing parts of your body that you can’t reach with your han...

It was the cardigan seen around the world. On August 28, with temperatures still hovering in the mid-80s in New York, Katie Holmes hailed a taxicab wearing a cashmere cardigan and bra set from the buzzy Brooklyn label Khaite. The paparazzi captured Holmes as she raised her arm, and her cardigan—fastened by a lone button—effortlessly slouched off her shoulder to show the matching bralette (and, of course, a little bit of skin). The Khaite set appeared as if it was crafted from the most supple, buttery, just-sheared cashmere; the color was that of boiled steel-cut oats. The internet went wild, and the cardigan set ($520 for the soft-cup bralette, $1,540 for the ribbed sweater) promptly sold out. This viral fashion moment happened just a few days after Holmes’s ex, Jamie Foxx, was seen with another woman. Did it mark the start of Holmes’s single-woman comeback? Maybe! Was she just wearing something cool and hip that benefited from a spontaneous flash of skin? Certainly. Enamored wit...

You likely know Princess Nokia best for her music—just last month she released a new video and song, “Sugar Honey Iced Tea”—but in her Instagram bio, she self-identifies as a “Witch/Poet.” Her latest outfit, which she uploaded to Instagram yesterday, certainly does these dual identities justice: Nokia seemed to pose at a flea market of sorts in a patchwork skirt with a printed top and a pair of tiny blue sunglasses; an outfit she could take from a drum circle in the park all the way to the playa at Burning Man. It shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise, given that Nokia is a noted style shapeshifter. She can just as easily lean into tomboyish ’90s skater girl style as she can completely transform into a new persona—like the time she cosplayed as a Game of Thrones character—but this new hippy-dippy look is indebted more so to the changing astrological season. In the accompanying Instagram caption, Nokia explained that it was a new moon in Scorpio. “[First] day of my lunar cycle go...

Last night, Hailey Bieber celebrated her bachelorette party in Los Angeles with friends such as Kendall Jenner and her stylist, Maeve Reilly. At the time of the model’s cover story for Vogue back in March, she and husband Justin Bieber were still finalizing the plans for their second wedding (they officially tied the knot last September at a lower Manhattan courthouse), and it seems that big day is finally imminent. But while little details are known about what or where their ceremony will be, we do know that Bieber went for an all-white look for her bachelorette festivities this week—and, in fact, her dress for the occasion cost only $60. Doing all-white like a true bride-to-be, Bieber chose a skin-tight cami dress by Oh Polly for her fun-filled night. With clear spaghetti straps and a below-the-knee length, her choice of dress struck the perfect chord of “sexy yet classy,” as the brand describes the garment on its website. The party look proved to be a more sophisticated take on...

Arriving with her gorgeous sister Gigi, Bella Hadid made a glamorous entrance to the VMA awards in Jersey last night wearing an ab-revealing dress by London newcomer Charlotte Knowles. The supermodel kept the glamorous good vibes going well after the ceremony was over; she was seen leaving the Republic Records After-Party at the Moxy Chelsea in Manhattan dressed in her signature, cheap-and-chic white ribbed tank top, her second midriff-baring look of the night. She paired the cheeky top with high-waisted faded boot cut jeans with a black belt complete with a Chrome Hearts pavé buckle and barely-there PVC “naked” heels. In-between outfit changes, it seems that Hadid managed to make a stylish new friend—a crop top buddy if you will. At her side as she exited the late night bash, singer Halsey who was in a celebratory mood after picking up the VMA for Best K-Pop with BTS this year and showed off her washboard stomach with a cropped black sleeveless mock neck shirt. Rather than going ...

Gwyneth Paltrow’s polarizing candor and approach to wellness may not be for everyone, but there’s no denying it: She’s a harbinger of change for discourse around women’s health. Taking a no-holds-barred approach to taboo subjects, the Oscar-winning actress recently opened up about experiencing perimenopause and her hopes to reshape the narratives around it. Now she’s getting more frank than ever about aging, musing about the feminine beauty ideal and how it’s inherently fraught for women as they age. In the debut episode of Goop’s new podcast, The Beauty Closet, Paltrow spoke openly about how being celebrated for her appearance has been something of a Catch-22. “I’ve always felt so funny about my looks,” explained the 46-year-old. “I think that it’s very rare to think that you’re a beautiful person, and so, I feel like every other woman, like I don’t see that when I look in the mirror.” She continued, “I think for me it’s more internally feeling.... You know, as I go on in life, an...

"Being a mom has changed me in many ways," says Behati Prinsloo, who has two daughters—Gio Grace, 1 month, and Dusty Rose, 2—with husband Adam Levine. Opening up about the multitude of ways that having children has transformed her life, the 31-year-old supermodel is pulling back the curtains on her battle with postpartum depression in a new essay. "I had moments of postpartum [depression] after our first baby that I felt like [were] coming through," she writes of struggling with the severe form of clinical depression. Brought on by childbirth and characterized by anxiety, sadness, mood swings, or feeling overwhelmed, PPD affects 1 in 10 moms and the FDA recently approved the first drug designed specifically to treat it. Prinsloo goes on to credit Levine for being "incredibly supportive" and helping her get through the trying period of her life. And while Prinsloo clarifies that she didn't suffer from an extreme case of PPD, she underlines the debi...
