      Cozy but Chic: The Everygirl’s Work-from-Home Capsule Wardrobe

      by

      If you’ve been an Everygirl for awhile, you already know how keen we are on the concept of a capsule wardrobe: a closet full of items that can be mixed and matched with one another for an infinite amount of combinations and a permanent fix to your “I don’t know what to wear today” conundrum.
      At this point, many of us have made the permanent transition from going to the office to working from home. Gone are the days of getting dressed and heading out for a commute, and mornings of getting ready just to decide whether we want to work from our kitchen tables or desks are now the reality. 
      One of the realities of life is that when you look good, you feel good. Spending every day working from the same gray sweats that you haven’t washed in two weeks? Probably not the most conducive to having a productive work day. Cozy clothes that look cute do in fact exist, and that’s the sweet spot of a perfect work-from-home wardrobe. It’s time to feel put-together for your 9-5, even if you’re working it from your couch. 

      For when it’s a work-from-the-couch day

      crewneck | blue-light glasses | split-hem sweats | plus | cozy socks
      We all have those days; the ones where you wake up and know you need to work with your body horizontal for the day. When your main priority is comfort, a cheeky crewneck and chic, split-hem pants are your go-to. To ensure maximum comfort, add a pair of cozy socks, and protect your eyes with blue light glasses you’ll be happy to show off on Zoom.

       
      For a day of Zoom meetings

      collared blouse | plus | gold hoops | black leggings | plus | essential oil diffuser
      Have a day full of important virtual meetings? The details on top are all that matter. Opt for a blouse with a Peter Pan collar that will draw the eye (and make onlookers note how professional you look). Gold hoops also draw add an element of looking put-together with quite literally no effort. What they don’t need to know? That you’re wearing leggings on bottom. Win, win. 

      For a chilly day

      chunky sweater | plus | blue-light glasses | pull-on pants | plus | slippers
      As the temperatures start dropping, there’s nothing like the gratitude of looking outside and knowing you can be cozy inside, no commute included. When your space heater is blasting and you want to have a cozy, quintessential day, a chunky knit is key. Pair yours with an easy pair of pull-on pants that feel like sweats, but will make you look a little more put-together (and feel put-together too).

      Find out where Dubai’s millionaires live and why

      With Dubai known for some of its most affluent districts, there’s most certainly no dearth of millionaires.
      As a flamboyant destination with real estate wonders, the emirate always has new properties on the horizon, including existing penthouses, villas, lofts and more.
      To delve deeper and recognise these prominent areas, a strategy consultancy company, Webster Pacific has identified these neighbourhoods according to an analysis of all the High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI) in each area.
      According to the study, HNWIs are defined as those who’ve amassed a wealth of $1 million or more with Dubai’s total number of people in this category amounting to 67,900 as of June 2022.

      The top residential areas as per the study include the following with its list of HNWIs.

      Jumeirah First – 8,685
      Al Barsha – 8,155
      Jumeirah – 7,202
      Arabian Ranches – 3,728
      Al Thanyah – 3,542
      Umm Suqeim – 2,960
      Nakhlat Jumeirah – 2,573
      Marsa Dubai – 2,537
      Al Satwa – 2,446
      Umm Al Sheif – 2,421

      Jumeirah First has been ranked at the top of the list due to its suburban, upscale feel and close proximity to both sides of Dubai including the highly bustling downtown area. Barsha on the other hand comes second in the category due to an abundance of sophisticated schools such as King’s School Al Barsha and GEMS Dubai American Academy along with easy access to Galleria Mall.
      The interactive map designed by the team showcases the concentration of HNWIs within a 5-minute drive from every location in the market and it can be seen here.

      How Estée Lauder co-created the pink ribbon to raise breast cancer awareness

      by

      Lifestyle

      Estelle Letang, General Manager of the Middle East Region at The Estée Lauder Companies on how they are pioneering the visibility of breast cancer prevention.
      What do the first 30 minutes of your day look like, your morning routine?
      My morning routine usually starts with some form of exercise and Pilates is my favourite as it sets me up for the day. Working for a beauty company, I always take five minutes as ‘me time’ by applying me favourite beauty products including Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm from Clinique, then hydrating my skin with the Estèe Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum, proceeding with La Mer’s iconic Crème De La Mer to moisturise my skin, then using a lipstick from M.A.C and finally spritzing my favourite fragrance from Tom Ford, Rose Prick. As a mother of three, I’ve always had breakfast with my children before they head to school.
      Can you tell us about the latest Estée Lauder Breast Cancer Campaign?
      This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Campaign and the Company’s commitment to the global breast cancer movement. Through the collective efforts of employees, consumers, and partners worldwide, the campaign has facilitated real progress and driven social impact. In the Middle East, we have focused on raising much-needed awareness and education about breast cancer in the regional community by highlighting the stories of four inspirational women who survived breast cancer through a series of empowering videos and events. These survivors share their personal journeys with breast cancer, their journey of recovery and how they went to fulfill their dreams after they beat the disease. All of the survivors share the critical importance of self-examination and early detection which was a key factor in their recovery.
      The late Evelyn H. Lauder launched the iconic Pink Ribbon, as part of The Breast Cancer Campaign, how did it all begin?
      Thirty years ago, in 1992, Evelyn H. Lauder (Estée Laud- er’s daughter-in-law) co-created the globally recognised Pink Ribbon and launched The Estée Lauder Companies Breast Cancer Campaign, inspiring a global movement around its mission to help create a breast cancer-free world once for all. Since then, the Breast Cancer Campaign is The Estée Lauder Companies’ largest corporate philanthropic initiative. Just one year later, in 1993, Evelyn Lauder founded the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, the campaign’s lead- ing non-profit organisation partner dedicated to advancing the world’s most promising research to eradicate breast cancer. The Company have funded more than $108 million globally for lifesaving research, education, and medical services. The campaign is a true testament to the group’s legacy as a beauty-inspired, values-driven company that places people, positive impact, and inclusivity at the heart of everything we do.
      “The campaign is a true testament to the group’s legacy as a beauty-inspired, values-driven company that places people, positive impact, and inclusivity at the heart of everything we do.”
      This month brings awareness to breast cancer – what are the key things we should be looking for?
      Globally, breast cancer causes the greatest number of cancer-related deaths among women. Every 15 seconds somewhere in the world, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. This is far too many. A breast cancer diagnosis profoundly affects everyone it touches – patients, loved ones, doctors, caregivers, advocates and more. Our goal as a company is to generate widespread awareness and education across the Middle East region on breast cancer highlighting the importance of self-testing, early detection, and prevention.

      What are some of the key initiatives Estée Lauder has taken to help people going through this journey?
      The Estée Lauder Companies in the Middle East have worked very closely with NGO Brest Friends, the first breast cancer support group in Dubai, and Al Jalila Foundation for the last seven years, whose combined mission is similar to ours: To save lives by promoting early detection, increasing awareness, education, and offering support to patients with breast cancer.
      This is The Pioneer Issue – what inspired the group to take the lead in raising awareness?
      It has been 30 years since Evelyn H. Lauder, a visionary woman, inspired a global movement and introduced a symbol of hope and inspiration with one mission, to help create a breast-cancer-free world. At a time when breast cancer wasn’t spoken about openly, Evelyn H. Lauder saw an opportunity to unite people everywhere and make a difference. She said,“I’d like to be able to save lives.” Now, as we honour The Campaign’s 30th Anniversary, breast cancer patients are leading better, healthier lives due in part to early detection and improved treatment which the campaign and our partners are dedicated to advancing. The campaign is a cornerstone of who we are at The Estée Lauder Companies and serves as a true, authentic point of difference that drives our social impact and enhances our corporate reputation with a key call to action, It’s #TimeToEndBreast- Cancer. Together, we are united to help end breast cancer for all.

      Anne Hathaway opens up about the rigorous hate she received after 2012 Oscar win

      by

      Lifestyle

      1 hour ago

      Anne Hathaway is arguably one of the most successful actresses of this generation.
      Having starred in iconic hits including The Devil Wears Prada, The Dark Night Rises, Bride Wars and more, the actress is one of the biggest names in Hollywood.
      However, it hasn’t always been a smooth ride for the 39-year-old who reflected on the era of ‘Hathahate’ she received following her 2012 Oscar win for her critically-acclaimed performance in Les Miserables.
      Speaking at the Elle USA ‘Women in Hollywood’ event earlier this week, Hathaway opened up about the period of her life a decade ago where she saw “the language of hatred from a new perspective”.

      “Ten years ago, I was given an opportunity to look at the language of hatred from a new perspective,” she said. “For context – this was a language I had employed with myself since I was seven.
      “And when your self-inflicted pain is suddenly somehow amplified back at you at, say, the full volume of the internet … It’s a thing.”
      At the time, many would argue Hathaway was at the top of her game with her Academy Award, the actress swept the board when it came to awards season that year. However, what accompanied it was an onslaught of hostility in the media and from the public.
      Fast-forward a decade, Hathaway is taking the opportunity to change the directive when it comes to hate saying, she “would no longer hold space for it”, adding that it is possible to unlearn such behaviours and thoughts.
      “The good news about hate being learned is that whoever learned it can learn,” she said. “There is a brain there. I hope they give themselves a chance to relearn love.”

      The future of aviation is here.
      Having cracked the code for long-haul flights, Lufthansa will officially launch lie-flat economy seats in 2023. To ensure all passengers have enough space to stretch out without the limited legroom hassle, new aircraft Lufthansa Allegris is all set to transform the flight space.
      Travellers will be able to book an entire row of three seats, better known as Sleeper’s Row 2.0, on the new aircraft which will convert into a bed with a mattress, pillows and bedding for some downtime.

      It will give customers the option to lie flat for a more relaxed sleep during long-haul flights without paying for business and first-class seats.
      Lufthansa’s new aircraft is also set to transform the upper-class options, too. Business and first-class passengers will have access to private suites in its future fleet, bringing eight different seating options onboard.
      First-class passengers will soon have a personal wardrobe space complemented by baggage storage options and increased privacy. Adding to the experience, customers can enjoy a shared dining experience in the suite along with a large IFE screen.

      For a more intimate travel journey, business class seats will have higher walls and doors that completely close with a personal wardrobe closet.
      With other airlines innovating in the same space, Air New Zealand was amongst the latest to have announced the concept lie-flat pods in economy class earlier this year. All set to launch in 2024, SkyNest will give avid globe trotters a chance to book the space in four-hour slots.
      Stay tuned for more details on this sophisticated new travel update.
