Episode Recap

This week, we’re marrying two of our favorite things: fashion and beauty. Listen in as we count down the top 10 trends of the season—from preppy Polo Bar style and rich indigo denim to maximalist prints, 1980s colour blocking and Speakeasy-ready embellishments. 

And just in time for the big Sephora sale, we’re sharing our new favourite beauty counterparts to every major fall trend, including the big-hair promising Dyson blow-dry brush and exciting fashion collabs like Merit x Erdem. Get ‘em while they’re haute!

You’ll hear about:

• Preppy tailoring and polished blowouts: Decoding fall's return to preppy tailoring—cable knits, rugby stripes, plaid bombers (including a Miu Miu dupe!) and highly giftable cashmere triangle wraps—paired with sleek hair tools.

• Colour blocking 2.0: Embracing bold '80s colour mashups like red and purple with dark raw denim and a new era of fragrances that aim to capture the mood of colours in a bottle 

• LA off-duty chic, suede and Western boho: Blending effortless streetwear (camo, ripped denim and cinched moto jackets) with Western fringe and suede, matched with does-it-all beauty staples 

• Statement animal prints, speakeasy glam and archival bags: Embracing maximalist textures (crocodile boots, pony hair, beaded drop pouches and Y2K vintage logo bags) elevated by luxury vanity pieces

• Plus, Carlene’s hair colour journey continues!: Carlene shares her new grey-blending routine, including a secret weapon product hack, courtesy of today’s gold show partner, Schwarzkopf.
