In 2003, according to the beloved teen classic, The Lizzie Maguire Movie, being an outfit repeater was the cardinal sin of fashion and being an outfit rememberer was “just as pathetic.” Eighteen years later (whoa), I commit both “crimes” at least once a week, and, refreshingly, nobody cares. We, the people of fashion culture, have finally let go of that ridiculous notion. Instead, we celebrate our most beloved outfits and favourite pieces by wearing them as much as possible. We’ve recently seen more and more influencers making a point of repeating outfits and posting about it on Instagram. This shouldn’t be something to call out, but all to often influencers wear something once, get the likes, and toss that piece aside. However that certainly isn...

It’s extremely cliched to talk about the weather when referring to Manchester, however, our rainy climate does mean we have to put in a little extra consideration when it comes to fashion choices. And even more so this year, when we’ve spent a lot of time outside. In 2020, when most social activities (if any) have had to take place in parks (or anywhere open and cold), there’s certainly been a surge of practical outfits seen across the city centre—although I’d say it’s still distinctively Manchester cool. While London might be considered the centre of fashion in the UK, and in many ways it is, the history of fashion in the Northern city is rich and varied, and continues to influence how the UK gets dressed.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looki...

There have been many occasions in which I’ve needed something last minute so I just impulse-order it from Zara. It’s great for that. But these days, without many trips and events to shop for, I’m perusing Zara for basics more than anything else. The beauty of Zara basics is that they have a wide variety of both “boring” (in a good way) and special options.
