Avril Lavigne and Killstar release an authentically emo collection Photography courtesy of Killstar The pop-punk icon of our era, Avril Lavigne, has had quite the comeback this year with the release of her seventh studio album, Love Sux , as well as the 20th anniversary re-release of her debut album, Let Go . To add to those achievements, the artist has collaborated with alt label Killstar on a new capsule of ready-to-wear clothing and accessories. “I have been wearing Killstar pieces for a couple of years so this collab felt like a no-brainer. I like Killstar’s clothing because it is punk and edgy but feminine at the same time,” Lavigne said in a release from the brand.

The shoes were tall and wide, grazing the bottom of her mini skirt and leading some to mistake them for pants . With that, the case for confusing footwear was reopened. Just this week, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian and Kylie Jenner have stepped out in an iteration of the slouchy sky-high boot. And months ago, excessive footwear was stomping all over the fall 2022 runways. Designers such as Isabel Marant , Alaïa and Balenciaga all introduced their own take on the utterly oversized shoe. As these boots climb high...

National Dog Day is on Aug. 26, and what better way to celebrate than by show your puppy some love with a stylish new toy or accessory? Founded in 2004 by author and animal welfare advocate, Colleen Paige, National Dog Day celebrates dogs of all breeds and raises awareness about the number of dogs that need to be rescued each year from places like public shelters. This holiday honours family dogs, military and police dogs, therapy pets, service animals that assist people with disabilities, and abandoned or stray shelter puppies in need of adoption.  According to research by Researchandmarkets.com , the global pet market was valued at $232.14 billion USD in 2030, and as expected, dogs are the most popular pet in the market. Other than encouraging the public to “adopt not shop,” National Dog Day is also the perfect time to show some appreciation to the beautiful, loyal canines in your life. That means extra cuddles, a special new bone perhaps and, yep, by gifting your four-legged ...
