These 26 New Zara Items Are So Good—There’s No Way They’ll Be in Stock for Long
If you’re as big of a Zara fan as I am, you know that in order to score the best products from the retailer, you better be stalking the new arrivals section like there’s no tomorrow. Zara products have a tendency to sell out at the speed of light, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t worth fighting for. Since I know you probably have better things to do besides awaiting the new arrivals to drop on the Zara website, I decided to do you a favour and stalk the site for the best new pieces myself. Ahead, you will see the 30 new Zara items I am deeming the cream of the crop. Naturally, I am predicting the shopping selection ahead won’t be in stock for long, so if you’ve been itching to do a little retail therapy, now’s your chance. Get ready to ...
19 Stylish Clothing Brands That Fashion Editors Are Loving in 2021
We all love musing over designer brands, but midluxury fashion is our true weakness. With the advent of social media, discovering unique independent clothing brands is easier than it’s ever been. Almost weekly, we discover an online shop selling a statement dress that captures exactly how we feel. So just in case you are wondering which brands are in style in 2021, we made a list of some of our favourites. Much of the beautiful clothes on our social feeds are designed by independent shops located here in the UK, with a few from the US, France, Spain, Sweden, and Denmark. Each of these small brands offer a unique take on the zeitgeist of the moment — including puff-sleeve dresses, oversize collars, patchwork pieces, sheer fits, and period drama-inspired silhouettes to fill every fashi...
Victoria Beckham Shares Her Love for the Canadian Tuxedo With New Autumn 2021 Collection
Victoria Beckham presented its autumn/winter 2021 fashion show at London’s Hayward Gallery, located in the Southbank Centre on Saturday, 13 Feb. Continuing the brand’s theme of strong tailoring paired with delicate dresses, VB’s new collection is about dressing for comfort and protection in uncertain times. There’s a militant approach to Victoria Beckham autumn 2021, with the theme explored in a palette of navy, red, black, and white with oversize suiting and gold-embossed military-style buttons. The utilitarian theme is meant to complement our need for protection, while also channeling our longing for comfort — as seen in loose-fitting paper bag trousers and more fluid pieces that connect to the delicate side of the VB woman. The bold red and bright pinks of the co...
Alexander McQueen and Vestiaire Collective Collaborate on a Secondhand Clothing Edit
Vestiaire Collective and Alexander McQueen are collaborating on a circular fashion initiative. To debut Vestiaire Collective’s new “Brand Approved” program, Alexander McQueen will buy back pieces from some of the fashion house’s longstanding clients, and list these preloved designs through Vestiaire Collective’s online platform. “There is an urgent need to address the way we currently produce and consume fashion,” said Vestiaire Collective co-founder Fanny Moizant in a press statement. “Vestiaire Collective’s ‘Brand Approved’ programme offers a sustainable solution, reinforcing the importance of durability, whilst empowering first-hand fashion players to disrupt their linear business models and embrace circularity. We are in...

The Boots I Plan on Wearing for the Next Six Months
I apologise if the phrase ‘kitten heel’ is at all triggering for you. For me it conjures up strong memories of a certain year in secondary school when pointed, kitten heeled shoes were the ‘thing’ to be seen in—I was not allowed them as they were against the school dress code (bring in the tiny violins). But then again, I was less sad when I saw the tatty state these heels were in after few weeks of being stomped across concrete-clad school grounds. Luckily, you’ll be glad to hear that the kitten heels of 2021 could not be further than the flimsy styles worn by noughties school girls.

I’ve Been Wearing a Smartwatch for a Year and I’m Never Going Back
I’ve never really been a watch person, let alone a smartwatch person. Ever since I got my first mobile from the age of about 17 (shout out to my fellow old Millennials), I’d always use my phone to check the time. And as they slowly became everything in our lives (camera, news, social life), it seemed weird that I’d want something separate from it. Everything was in one place, it was so convenient. But then a few things happened. Firstly, I started running again, and wanted to track my progress without whipping out my phone all the time. Second, staring at your phone all day to check the time isn’t actually that handy when you’re with a toddler. And finally, there was the pandemic. Honor kindly lent me its smartwatch to trial back in February 2020, ju...
I’m a Beauty Editor, and These Are the 15 Under-£10 Products I Buy
I have tried many a designer nail colours over the years but I have to be honest, I don’t think there is any point spending a lot of money on a nail polish. These gel-effect ones from Barry M are as good as they come and they’re so cheap. I love the colours and the finish and they last just as long—if not longer—than most of the nail polishes with bigger price tags. Plus, I love buying a couple of new shades each season to test out the trending colours without breaking the bank. Up next, these cheap moisturisers are just as good as their expensive counterparts.

7 Items I’m Wearing to Stay Warm On Weekend Walks
Like most people in lockdown, my weekend plans suddenly involve long winter walks. I love a long, blustering walk, but I wouldn’t typically choose to spend so much time outside in January. Whether you’re walking in Hampstead Heath, Hackney Marshes, or the Highlands, you’ll need practical items that will keep you warm until spring arrives. If you want outfits that will keep you toasty but are a little more interesting than a boring fleece and thermals, below, you’ll find seven items that will see you through a winter of outdoor activities in style. The first essential item you’ll need is a coat that will act like your very own portable heater, so I recommend you start with a puffer coat. Then, you’ll need all the classic winter staples for laye...
8 Items Every London Girl Has in Her Cold-Weather Wardrobe
Getting dressed during winter might seem difficult when you compare it to the easy cotton-dress–and-sandal styling of summer, but there’s no need to be daunted by it. While your ensembles will require a little more thought (owning to the fact you need to make being warm a priority), it’s incredibly easy to look chic and remain cosy when you have a well-curated capsule to fall back on. That’s where we come in. We looked to London, the British fashion epicentre, to see exactly what the capital’s best-dressed residents are sporting during the colder months. From the coat that’s usually found in the countryside to the boot trend that makes every outfit look instantly more expensive, keep scrolling to shop the winter fashion trends that have taken London by storm. ...
Kaia Gerber’s Model-Off-Duty Style Is So Good Right Now
Between the runways of Paris and the billboards of New York City, there is no shortage of images of Kaia Gerber in enviably stylish outfits. For the model (who happens to be the daughter of ’90s super Cindy Crawford) an inherently chic sense of style is practically right there in her DNA. And while we do, of course, admire and appreciate all that she does in her career, it’s Kaia’s off-duty looks that have been really grasping our attention of late. Photographed in her home city of Los Angeles recently, Gerber has been seen in two very different model-off-duty looks. One lends itself to her sporty side, while the other highlights her classic casual aesthetic. While out for a walk the model opted for an all grey look, donning&...
The 22 Perfumes Beauty Insiders Are Turning to This Year
You don’t need us to tell you that beauty routines have changed as of late. In fact, virtually everyone we speak to has something to say about the ways in which they have tweaked their daily regimen to fit in with the new normal. Mostly, we have found ourselves waving goodbye to bold lipsticks, colourful eye shadows and full-coverage foundations in favour of low-key formulas suitable for home life. And for the most part, no one seems to be particularly mad about it. In fact, there is actually something quite wholesome about stripping things back to basics. Except when it comes to perfume. When lockdown hit for the first time at the start of spring last year, many of us found ourselves reaching for perfume less and less. After all, if no one’s smelling it...
