Nothing To Wear

In this week's beauty sneak peek, Leigh and Kelly tackle a beauty question on a topic they've never covered on the show before: hair extensions. They cover everything from tape-ins and weaves to clip-ins and halos, plus everything else you need to consider when looking at your options - think of this as your hair extensions 101 bible.

And for anyone feeling the pressure of nailing the perfect morning routine, Kelly has an 'anti-hack' about the crazy social media 'morning shed' trend that nobody actually needs. Thank us later.

This week on Nothing to Wear, Leigh dives into the world of matching sets, sheer skirts and the infamous generational fashion feud with social media extraordinaire Liv James. They explore why Gen Z and millennials are constantly pitted against each other in the style stakes, debunk the myth that certain pieces are age-restricted, and discuss how both generations can learn from each other's approach to fashion.

From Liv's Pinterest hacks to Leigh's classic capsule wardrobe philosophy, the pair share what they'd wear to various occasions (spoiler: they're not as different as you might think!) and challenge the tired narrative of generational style wars.

In this episode of Nothing to Wear, Leigh Campbell chats with Instagram styling sensation Sally McKinnon about the subtle tweaks that transform merely wearing clothes into creating polished outfits.

Sally breaks down the current trends including why socks are having a major style moment with everything from ballet flats to sandals, the flattering silhouette of barrel leg jeans (which follow the natural curve of most women's bodies), and why having wardrobe "variety" is the real secret to great style.

They also dive into the versatility of matching sets for winter (think coordinated knits), why oversized blazers aren't going anywhere, and how the modern ballet flat has evolved from its uncomfortable predecessors. Plus, Sally shares both bougie and budget-friendly options for this season's must-have barrel jeans.

Check out Sally's previous episode about ageless dressing here.

A question from an "elder millennial" has Leigh and Kelly breaking down the retinol strength debate: is it better to use a mild formula more frequently or a stronger one just once a week? Sharing their personal experiences and product recommendations for different retinol strengths that might work for sensitive skin.

Plus, they tackle why fragrances might be disappearing too quickly. Is your perfume actually vanishing within hours, or is something else happening? (Spoiler: your nose might be playing tricks on you!) Leigh and Kelly offer recommendations for long-lasting formulations that won't fade away by lunchtime.

And don't miss their genius host hacks - Kelly's trick for making black eyeshadow truly black (not blue!) and Leigh's emergency solution for covering grey roots when you're running late!
