We all love to indulge a little, or a lot, and why shouldn’t we? Enjoying life is far more important than any fad diet or trend.

However, if you want to gently shape your body to look even better than it already does in your favourite dress, jeans or power suit, there’s a shining beacon in the clothing realm that’ll do the trick – shapewear.

Yep, this line of lingerie will look great – and more importantly, feel great – no matter how hard you’ve gone on the party pies and champers.

Indeed a decent shapewear garment (commonly referred to as Spanx) can completely change the way you look and feel when you step out for any occasion, smoothing out your curves and giving you a confidence boost to boot.

And the best part? It’s totally acceptable to wear at any age.

Some of our favourite celebrities themselves are proving it – how else can they look so impeccably toned and flawless on the red carpet?

Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco, 38, certainly hasn’t shied from being vocal about her love for the form-flattering garments.

Speaking at the 2016 Golden Globes, Cuoco told InStyle: “I love Spanx. I’m all about it.”

Chrissy Teigen is frank about her love of Spanx – and we can’t blame her, she looks incredible! Image: Getty

Meanwhile, model mum-of-four Chrissy Teigen has also been candid about her love for shapewear, and how it was inspired by none other than Kim Kardashian.

“[Kim] made me feel so much better because we went to the bathroom and [Kim] had me zip you up,” she previously said in an interview. “And I was like ‘Oh my god, she has Spanx on! She’s cool. She’s normal.”

Actress Robin Wright is also a keen fan, stating in an interview: “Always! I have to wear them all the time.”

So now that we’ve established that shapewear is, in fact, absolutely acceptable to wear at any age, as well as transforming the way you look and feel in any garment, we’ve rounded up the best types and places to buy shapewear in Australia – and it can all be done online.

The best shapewear in Australia

Waist control underwear

Good old Bridget Jones was onto something here. Waist-control underwear will give you shape and cut a few inches off the belly region (depending on how tight you go).

01

Seamless Sculpting Mid Waist Brief

$62 at Skims

Kim K’s own line, Skims, is the holy grail of shapewear. The Seamless Sculpting Mid Waist Brief promises a smoother silhouette and a seam-free construction that avoids any muffin-top mishaps.

Sizes: XXS – 4X

Colours: sand, mica, clay, ochre, sienna, bronze, jasper, cocoa, espresso and onyx

Materials: 82% nylon, 18% elastane

Key features:

  • Strong compression along the tummy and waist
  • Brief back, cotton gusset and a wide crotch for added coverage
  • Interior silicone underband that prevents rolling

02

Triumph Belform Panty

$57.46 (usually $69.95) at Curvy

With a reinforced front panel and rigid stretch fabric, the Belform Panty provides a firm hold and creates a smooth silhouette. It compresses multiple zones of the body with great finesse to ensure your stomach and bottom, are well sculpted.

Sizes: 12 – 24

Materials: polyamide, elastane

Key features:

  • High-rise cut with soft stretch waistband
  • Ensures bottom and stomach are well sculpted
  • Designed to allow ease of movement while wearing

Also available at:

The ‘all over’ slip dress

This style is a two-in-one winner – investing in a decent shapewear slip dress, which sculpts your entire silhouette, is a smart choice if you want to save some dosh and look incredible to boot.

03

Nancy Ganz Women’s Body Architect Slip Dress

from $132.58 at Amazon

Australian company Nancy Ganz is dedicated solely to shapewear, and their commitment isn’t for nothing. The brand’s creation of the ‘Hip Slip’ back in the 1990s was revolutionary in modernising traditional shaping garments like girdles. Now, their Body Architect Slip Dress has evolved with the demands of our times, and we think they’ve nailed it.

Sizes: 10C – 16D

Colours: black and warm taupe

Key features:

  • Convertible strapless contour cup with built in bra for defined shape and lift
  • Zoned panels for targeted control
  • Anti-slip print around the hem to hold in place

The bodysuit

Much like the slip dress, the shapewear bodysuit is a revelation when it comes to doing (or more accurately sucking in) everything at once. Toning your body from the chest to your thighs, these puppies are your go-to wardrobe staple for when you’re gearing up to squeeze into that slip dress.

04

Spanx Suit Your Fancy Strapless Cupped Bodysuit

$219.95 at The Iconic

Australian online shopping website The Iconic houses a number of shapewear brands that’ll do the trick, including OG brand and Opera Winfrey’s personal favourite Spanx, which has well and truly nailed the body suit.

Sizes: XS – XL

Colours: very black and champagne beige

Materials: body: 51% elastane, 49% nylon; gusset: 80% nylon, 20% elastane

Key features:

  • Sculpting second-skin fit
  • Dense stretch microfibre fabric; cling-free shaping; slightly sheer under light
  • Moulded underwire bra with push-up padding

The under bra slip

For those with a slightly more voluminous bust, this variation of shapewear is perfect. With a neckline reaching below your chest and sculpting the body from the waist down, you’ll still be able to wear your favourite bra. Comfort and fashion are sometimes a tough pairing, but this style is the perfect compromise!

05

Hush Hush Essensual Firm Control Underbra Slip

$69.95 (usually $105) at The Iconic

Hush Hush is another Australian brand that knows how to make a quality piece of shapewear that’ll last you for yonks. Their seamless Essensual Firm Control Under Bra Slip is the perfect investment for the indulgent weeks ahead.

Sizes: 10 – 24

Materials: nylon, elastane

Key features:

  • Firm control
  • All over body shaping and control
  • Invisible seams

Also available at:

The thigh shaper

We can’t all have a derrière like Kim Kardashian, but this shapewear style can certainly give it a nudge. Smoothing out your thighs, hips, tummy and midriff, you’ll be slipping into that two-sizes-too-small frock you bought last summer in no time.

06

Ambra Powerlite High Waisted Shortie

$39.95 at Myer

Australian company Ambra has not only nailed this style in the form of their Powerlite Thigh Shaper Short, but they also have a key philosophy we’re happy to live by – being undefined by age or demographic. And it’s glaringly obvious by their designs, which are simple, comfortable and super affordable.

Sizes: 8 – 16

Colours: black and rose beige

Materials: 83% nylon, 16% elastane, 1% cotton

Key features:

  • Seamfree and smooth

When it comes to travelling, anything that can be done to make the experience run a little bit smoother is something we are willing to try.

It might seem obvious but a good quality, travel tote bag will make your time at the airport, running between hotels, and day-to-day organisation far less stressful.

Investing in an ample-sized tote, with plenty of internal organisation and the space to fit those everyday items you’ll reach for – like books, travel documents and tech – will ensure you don’t have to rifle through meticulously packed suitcases and can travel with ease.

There are some aspects to consider when it comes to finding the perfect travel tote. Is it durable? Can it be attached to your suitcase? Does it fit all of the essentials? And most importantly, does it align with airplane carry-on restrictions?

What are the carry-on restrictions in Australia and overseas?

Here in Australia, the restrictions for carry-on differ between each airline.

The general weight limit for domestic flights is around 7kg, however, Qantas allows for 14kg with no single item over 10kg.

For international flights, the weight limits greatly differ between each airline and the length of the flights. However, it is safest to try to stick to under 7kg and to read the specifics of your flight before you fly if wanting to pack beyond that.

Martha Kalifatidis has one very simple postpartum skincare hack https://www.nowtolove.com.au/beauty/best-skincare-for-postpartum/ Wed, 17 Apr 2024 23:36:51 +0000 https://www.nowtolove.com.au/?p=509436 Because who has the time for a 10-step routine?

The post Martha Kalifatidis has one very simple postpartum skincare hack appeared first on Now To Love.

]]>
As Martha Kalifatidis blows out the candles at her son Lucius’ first birthday, it’s only natural she’ll reflect on those very early postpartum days.

Days where Looch, as she affectionately calls him, would sleep all day long and leave his mum with all the time in the world to continue with her beauty routine.

“I had a lot of time to blow dry my hair and do my skincare. But now that he’s entering toddler stage – I call it terror stage,” she laughs, “there’s no time for that.”

Having just turned one, Lucius is well into his toddler stage, needing “so much attention” and “constant stimulation” from everyone around him. “We’re a lot more hands-on these days,” Martha tells Now To Love.

Image: Instagram

Finding time for self-care, let alone skincare, is not a luxury the 35-year-old mum finds herself with, even with the support of her friends, family and her fiance Michael Brunelli.

“You’ve got five minutes and in those five minutes, you probably have a lot of other things that you want to do,” she says. “Maybe drink a hot coffee, have a hot piece of toast… but with skincare, you have to just slap it on and be done.”

For this reason, Martha has partnered with Olay to help find the perfect postpartum skincare routine, with enough room for her holy grails and nothing else.

“I love the sculpting cream because it’s like a 15-step skincare in one. It does for your skin what an essence, serum, moisturiser and oil would do in one step,” she shares.

But, with anything, everyone’s experience may look a little different. “Some days you might get to do a 10-step skincare routine, and some days you might not even brush your teeth and that’s okay,” she says.

Image: Instagram

However, Martha’s best tip for mums struggling with skincare is to find what they like – and more importantly, what’s good – and just stick with it.

“Gone are the days where you’re like, ‘I’ll try this, I’ll see how this goes’. You just need something reliable. You need something that’s not going to irritate your skin.”

“Also, your hormones are not the same,” she laughs. “So you might be more sensitive than you usually are… I like to use a barrier cream, a really thick one. Always a sunscreen, always a retinol and a really gentle cleanser. They were the hero products that I always used.”

With that, we’ve built a skincare routine that we think would be perfect for mums entering their postpartum stage.

The post Avoid the dreaded straps with these 7 strapless bras that aren’t going anywhere appeared first on Now To Love.

When it comes to our undergarments and shapewear, the rule of thumb is we don’t want to see it.

But if you’ve experienced the awful feeling of finding that amazing strapless dress or top but not having the bra to make it work, believe us – we get it.

For a lot of us, it isn’t realistic to just go braless and even if you can ideally do that, a little bit of extra comfort will never go astray.

Finding the perfect bra is a learned art, especially when you’re dealing with the added hazard of no straps, you’ve probably experienced the slipping and sliding of a strapless bra only for it to end up covering your stomach and not where you need it.

That’s one of the many reasons we are so grateful to the wizards working in bra development and tech who have made finding a good, discreet bra so easy these days.

  • Vitamin A: Vitamin A helps to support vision health, immune function, and skin health, it is a powerful antioxidant that also plays a role in cell growth and development.
  • Vitamin E: Another powerful antioxidant, vitamin E helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. It also supports skin health, promotes a healthy immune system, and contributes to heart health.
  • Omega-3 Fatty Acids: While not vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA found in fish oil, are essential for heart and brain health, they can be obtained through diet or supplementation.

Ensure to read the label of any vitamins or supplements you are taking and consult with your doctor first.

There is nothing quite like slipping into a fresh tracksuit set, an outfit that is endlessly cosy and effortlessly stylish and means you’re instantly ready to relax.

No more are we settling for old track pants from years ago; we are claiming 2024 as the year of chic tracksuits. Especially now that it’s almost winter and we are enduring chilly winds and cool days, a good quality tracksuit is a worthy investment.

Also, take into consideration when and where you’re planning to wear these. If they’re strictly for the home you can go for something more formless, but if you’re aiming to nail the athleisure look then you can shop something a bit more ‘fashion-forward’.

As much as we love our bras, they can get in the way of a good outfit.

But no more do you have to toss between adequate support and the perfect dress or top. Thanks to stick-on bras and bra tape, you can enjoy the freedom of backless dresses or strappy silhouettes without worrying about lines and lingerie.

Whether you are after tape to lift and support or a stick-on bra to provide some extra push and shape, we have you covered.

How do I make sure my stick-on bra stays on?

The best tip to ensure the longevity of your stick-on bra or tape is to ensure you are applying it to clean and dry skin, which means no moisturiser.

Also, ensure to wash your bra/cups after each use as this will help it retain its stickiness.

Ensure you use nipple covers if you are using bra tape, this will prevent pain when removing across that delicate area – ouch! If you find you have residue left over on your skin after, use some oil and soak it.

Ah, that satisfying thrill of putting on a brand new pair of perfectly fitting jeans, that ever-flattering dress you’ve been eyeing up for weeks, or a freshly purchased crisp white shirt.

If you’re anything like us, you’ll be well aware of the tantalising appeal of shopping for new clothes – but it comes at a cost much greater than many of us realise.

As the world battles with a waste crisis, we’re looking at a very slippery slope if we don’t make changes to our shopping habits now by choosing to buy from more sustainable fashion brands.

And while a brand new outfit might make us feel good for the interim, its long-term effects are much greater.

The fashion industry accounts for one of the highest rates of pollution than any other industry – with Australians alone putting more than 6,000 kilograms of textiles into landfill every 10 minutes.

If there was ever a time to take a walk on the greener side it’s now, and luckily for us, it has never been easier. Plenty of brands have hopped on the eco-friendly train to offer stylish and sustainable options that can suit all styles and budgets.

The best sustainable fashion brands to buy in Australia

Below we’re taking a look at some of the best sustainable brands available to buy in Australia, that are putting actions to words and going green. Whether you’re looking for budget buys or luxury labels, we have them all.

01

Aere

from $20

Aere is an Aussie brand exclusive to The Iconic that creates timeless pieces with that true Australian touch, from carefully selected materials and fabrications.

02

Paire

from $29

For high-quality and sustainably made basics like socks, knits and underwear, Paire is a must-watch brand that uses cutting-edge tech to create lasting products.

It uses a blend of natural materials such as Australian Merino wool and eucalyptus fibre to create innovative materials to keep you warm, dry and on-trend.

03

Cariuma

from $65

Not just sneakers: Cariuma puts its best foot forward when it comes to making sneakers in a way that’s better for us and the planet. Pair by pair, the brand does its part to rebuild rainforests through its ecological restoration program.

Working closely with the indigenous communities local to the area in Brazil, the brand has followed their guidance on how to tend to the land and best support regrowth and restoration, improve seed storage efficiency and replanting methods that mitigate risk and preserve biodiversity.

04

Boody

from $10

Underwear and basics are often forgotten in the hunt for sustainable wardrobe additions. However, Boody disrupts the game with the creation of its organically grown bamboo products that are as soft as clouds.

With products from period underwear, activewear, everyday dresses and apparel, Boody has a range of timeless pieces that are so comfortable you’ll never want to take them off.

05

Jac + Jack

from $54

If you want to splurge out and invest in some timeless pieces that will last you for years to come, Jac + Jack is the brand to watch. Founded in 2004, the label has fast become a favourite of conscious Aussie shoppers looking for classic and effortless everyday pieces, made from quality low-impact materials.

The brand is transparent regarding its journey to eco-friendly design and the next steps as it moves to the future of fashion.

06

Spell

from $39

Spell has firmly cemented its place in the Australian fashion landscape with its boho, free-spirited style that screams Byron Bay. Its pieces are intricately designed and use circular and regenerative materials to cut down on waste and promote ethical production.

07

Bassike

from $50

Another homegrown favourite, Bassike is just that, a collection of timeless basics and wardrobe building blocks made from high-quality and sustainable materials, meant to last a lifetime.

A B Corp-certified company, Bassike is on a constant journey to progress its business and design journey in a way that makes a positive impact on the earth. Shop everything from t-shirts to leather and footwear without compromising style or sustainability.

08

Outland Denim

from $79

A favourite of Meghan Markle’s, Outland Denim is a reputable Australian fashion company not only offering some seriously chic denim styles but also doing a hell of a lot of good for the earth.

The company’s ethos is entrenched in helping others – it works to provide careers for women who have been exposed to sex trafficking in Asia by providing jobs and assistance to them.

09

Faithfull The Brand

from $27

Shop the perfect summer and holiday pieces without the guilt at Faithfull The Brand. With a wide array of swimwear, dresses, tops and more, there are endless pieces to suit your style and the best part is, it’s eco-conscious.

Another B Corp-certified brand, all Faithfull pieces are handmade in Bali (where the brand was founded), and it has a focus on providing the best for its employees worldwide including upskilling, parental support and community investments.

10

Calli The Label

from $20

Tap into that laidback Australian lifestyle with these stylish pieces from Calli the label. From denim to suit pieces, Calli is for the modern and conscious woman.

Ensuring to source fabrics from sustainable and ethical providers, as well as working with independent bodies to conduct audits on manufacturers, Calli is working to be socially and environmentally conscious at every step.

11

Kow Tow

from $34

Kow Tow is engaged with a slow production chain, meaning some of its collections take a whopping 18 months to design and hit the floor. But it’s all in the name of the environment. With certified Fair Trade cotton and two single manufacturers in India, the company keeps things simple, yet significant.

The brand’s youthful yet timeless aesthetic provides fashion for all ages and styles, we’re a particular fan of its dresses and t-shirts.

How to shop fashion sustainably

When shopping for sustainable fashion, start by looking for brands that use eco-friendly materials like organic cotton or recycled fabrics. This shows they’re committed to reducing their environmental impact.

However, be cautious of greenwashing – some brands talk the sustainability talk without walking the walk. So, seek certifications or real evidence of their eco-efforts, not just fancy marketing words.

Additionally, support brands that treat their workers fairly and are transparent about their production processes. When a brand cares about its workforce and shares how it makes its products, it’s a positive sign.

Lastly, prioritise well-made and durable clothes, as they save you money in the long run and reduce landfill waste. You may have to fork out a little more than desired to begin with, but it reduces having to buy replacements each season.

If you’re unsure what to get your mum this Mother’s Day, there’s one present that never fails to brighten her day – flowers.

Whether it’s a decadent bouquet of roses, a long-stemmed orchid in a stylish pot, or a simple bunch of natives, there are (quite literally) thousands of flower options!

If you can’t get together in person on May 12, delivery services are a great go-to for sending fresh flowers and luxurious gift packages to mum.

Dressing gowns, chocolates, personalised mugs. Sure, they’re classics when it comes to Mother’s Day gifts but this year, isn’t it time to take things to the next level?

We’ve been rifling through mum’s beauty bag since we were big enough to climb up to her dressing table.

From decorating our faces – and probably the walls – with her expensive lipsticks to pinching her luxury face creams and borrowing her hair straightener as teenagers, we owe a lot of what we learnt about beauty to the leading lady in our lives.

With Mother’s Day fast approaching on May 12, there’s no better time to atone for our beauty sins and spoil mum with something she’ll love.

From the latest skincare releases to the hottest tools, we’ve rounded up the beauty buys mum will genuinely delight.

And, if we’re honest, you’ll probably want to pinch them for yourself later. After all, we can make up for said sins, but we don’t have to change completely…

Give your bedroom a makeover on a budget with these affordable linen sheets https://www.nowtolove.com.au/lifestyle/homes/best-affordable-linen-sheets-76967/ Thu, 14 Mar 2024 22:25:11 +0000 https://www.nowtolove.com.au/lifestyle/homes/best-affordable-linen-sheets-76967 Sweet, sweet dreams.

The post Give your bedroom a makeover on a budget with these affordable linen sheets appeared first on Now To Love.

]]>
There is a reason why linen is the homewares essential of the moment.

Particularly in our hot and humid climate down here in Australia, linen sheets are a lifesaver for sweaty sleepers, but year-round they are a stylish alternative to typical cotton sheets.

Considering we spend a third of our lives sleeping, if there is any way to make the bedroom a relaxing oasis then sign us up!

There are so many advantages to choosing linen when it comes to our bedsheets that go beyond just style:

  • Linen is a sustainable material, so for those who are eco-minded, this is a great option to make your bedroom feel a little more green.
  • It is great for any season; yes, it is particularly popular in summer but in winter it acts as an insulator for chilly nights.
  • It’s durable and will last for years to come, which means you can justify spending a little bit more knowing that you’ll get your money’s worth.
  • Part of the appeal of linen is the effortlessly, chic undone look – saving you some time in the morning from the pressure of a perfectly made bed (or so we’re telling ourselves).
  • It’s anti-allergenic, which is a win for those of us with sensitive skin.

Although linen can at times be more expensive than its cheaper-made and less luxurious counterparts, it doesn’t always have to be.

The best affordable linen sheets to upgrade your bedroom

Below, we are taking a look at some of our favourite affordable linen sheets, so you can get your best night’s sleep on a budget.
