Fashion & Fine Jewelry

Coming from the comforting embrace of our lounge and athleisure wear in 2020, we brought back the glamour to how we dressed in 2021.

Granted, we still spent the majority of our days indoors. We took this opportunity to create stories that made it okay to dress up at home, to permit us to be comfortable and stylish—whether for work (Desktop Style), play (Press Play for Fitness), or simply living and lounging (24/7 Athleisure).

Later in the year, we acknowledged that we were bound to rejoin the social circuit, hence the stylish looks from Joyous Ease, Just In Case We're Going Outside, Bolder Looks, and many more. With that in mind, we put our best sartorial foot forward for all the parties we're attending from Fall Back to Black to Corner of the Party.

Beauty

2021 was a fun and exciting year for beauty as we set our eyes to celebrate every Beauty Addict out there. ICONIC Magazine's beauty section was a wealth of knowledgeable and imaginative storytelling: from romantic date night looks to female beauty icons, as well as healthy skincare routines and loving the skin you are in, to reimagining the world of olfactory wonders and haute makeup for every possible occasion.

From sweet and flirtatious to modern grunge and even impeccable brush works for the holiday season, we pushed the envelope with makeup looks that would best fit and sometimes surpass the occasion. Aside from makeup, 2021 reminded us to love the skin we're in with helpful tips on achieving healthy and radiant skin from The Glow Within and celebrating the beauty of melanin with Filipina No Filter. Beyond makeup and skincare, we also acknowledged the complexities of perfumery in Higher Notes, a visual almanac of the most well-loved notes in the world of scents.

Kid's Lifestyle

It's safe to say that in 2021, all was right with the little ones. Whether for school or fun, kids were to stay at home for most of the year; considering a child's growing curiosity and evolving fondness for adventure, the challenge was how do we keep these little tykes healthy, happy, and entertained at home.

This challenge allowed us to produce a depth of creative and imaginative stories and guides for parents and their little ones. Delightful Dress-Up Ideas for the Kids looks into new and stylish ways your kids could dress up for fun-filled dinners, movie night pajama parties, and backyard picnics in the comfort of your homes.

Continuos social development is integral for kids, and Sibling Revelry: The Joys of Playing Together explores the notions of shared fun through toys for siblings. It's Game Night aims to bring the family together with a list of board games and card games for the young and young-at-heart.

Staying at home can be a challenge one's space does not spark joy, and The Perfect Playroom is a quick guide on how parents can make a child's space special, comfortable, and engaging. Lastly, health and safety have been on everyone's mind and Keeping Them Kempt: Safety and Hygiene for the Kids show us that there are kid-friendly ways to keep your little ones safe in this pandemic.

Home

It would be an understatement to say that the past year has changed our relationship with our homes.

If like us, you've been staying indoors for most of 2021, then you understand how important it is to curate your space. From revamping your decor to at-home activities to enjoy, or even as simple as finding new kitchenware and beddings, as well as indulging in the best that Rustans.com Home has to offer, focusing your efforts in elevating your sanctuary has definitely been gratifying.

We kicked off 2021 with Backyard Valentines, a sweet guide on how to throw a chic and romantic picnic with the right serveware, cutlery, glassware, and more. Crown your home with the finest luxury and timeless decor featured on The Finishing Touch and The Archivist. And discover great new additions to your kitchen and bedroom from The Armory and Bed Basics. Lastly, we celebrated the holiday season with festive decor and stylish tablescaping in Silver Linings: Holiday 2021 and The Gracious Host.
