If You Invest in One Interiors Trend in 2021, Make it This One
As a shopping editor, you know you’re onto a winner when you set out to write an article on an interiors trend and you struggle to find enough products. Strange though that may sound, in my experience it means that the item at hand hasn’t quite hit the mainstream yet, so hopefully you can rest easy in the knowledge that you won’t see it every single one of your friends’ houses (well, when we’re allowed in them anyway). My lesser-known trend this month? Checkerboard. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power.

Trust Me, This Hair-Removal Tool Is Way More Effective Than a Razor
But you’ll want to be extra careful when using the device, as Rodney cautions that epilators can be very painful if misused. “Epilators also fail to address ingrown hairs and are not best for sensitive areas. You’ll need to find one that keeps your skin’s health and protection in mind,” she adds. When using the device, Rodney recommends pulling the skin taut before passing the machine over it and avoiding goose bumps. Make sure you’re moving the device in the direction of hair growth, and don’t press too firmly on the skin or pass through quickly, as those two things may cause irritation. As for who can use an epilator, it can work on all skin types, but if you have sensitive skin, you’ll want to be careful. If you have a severe skin conditio...
20 Beautiful and Meaningful Gifts That Show Friends How Much You Care
The world might feel like it’s at a standstill but life, no matter how irregular it may seem right now, goes on. Birthdays continue to roll around and special anniversaries are inevitably on the horizon. However, choosing the perfect gift for someone close to you is more challenging than ever with restrictions in place. Of course, a phone call or voice note telling them you love them is invaluable, but we’ve found it hard to show our loved ones just how much we care. So, in lieu of spending time together and being able to hug one another (won’t that feel like the greatest gift of all?), we’ve found 20 thoughtful gifts for friends we think they’ll truly cherish. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we rei...
The Timeless Flat Shoe That We’ll All Be Wearing in 2021
If there was a prize for 2020‘s most redundant item of clothing it would surely be the stiletto. With parties cancelled and weddings postponed, the high heel has been relegated to the dusty depths of our wardrobes, along with the likes of bikinis and workwear. Yep, it’s been a rough old year for the party wear staple. However, there is a silver lining to the stiletto’s near-extinction, and it’s the prolific rise-and-rise of the flat shoe. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power.

I Speak to Skin Experts Every Day, and I’d Never Use These 5 Products
This is a bit more complex that others on the list, but it’s a very common theme amongst science-led skin experts that facial oils are best left untouched if you’re not totally clued up on them. A huge number of skincare products contains oils to help nourish our skin, or in the case of essential oils, give a product more of a luxurious user-experience. However, when oils are formulated within other products, dosage is significantly lower than they might be in say, a straight-up facial oil. The truth is, the most expensive face oils are those that contain essential oils (they are extremely expensive for brands to purchase, making the mark-up on the product even larger), and essential oils in high volumes are seriously bad news for skin. They can turn skin red, dry and angry. Other non-frag...
The Only Expensive Lingerie Brands I’d Spend Money On
When it comes to lingerie, I’m as fussy as can be. I want comfort and a perfect fit, but I also demand that my underwear mustn’t look like its given up on being beautifully designed or a little bit sassy. Practical T-shirt bras are all well and good—and these staple underwear items deserve just as much time and attention from you—but right now, I’m finding that luxurious lingerie can be the mood-boosting foundation to my daily, perhaps more casual, outfits. There are some eye-wateringly expensive options out there in the world of high-fashion underwear, and some are worth parting more cash with than others. Lingerie fabrics—the very finest ones—are often pricey and complicated to produce, very delicate to manufacture into bras and knickers. Doing...
I Moved to Paris and Learned 5 Very Valuable Fashion Lessons
In 2013, I moved to Paris for love. Yes, I am a cliché. I quit my job, left my comfy apartment and said goodbye to my friends and family in order to relocate to a country where I didn’t speak the language. So much has changed since I landed, including—perhaps unsurprisingly—my personal style. I spent the latter part of my twenties living in Dalston, east London—home to, amongst other things, a dress-code where anything and everything goes. My wardrobe as such mirrored this more colourful, extrovert and experimental outlook. The first street I lived on was called Rue Rodier, and so it also became the name of the blog I started at the beginning of this major shift, charting my own travels and adventures but also my photography work and the inspiring stories of women I meet along the way.

All The Outfits I’ve Loved This Week From Copenhagen’s Fashion Week
Over the last few years, Copenhagen Fashion Week has become one of the most anticipated events on the fashion calendar. From Ganni to Cecilie Bahnsen and Baum und Pferdgarten, the city is home to some of the most coveted up-and-coming cult labels and is renowned for its adventurous and enviable street style. As with most things in 2021, this year the event has gone completely digital, though that does not mean that street style has taken a back seat. From Emili Sindled to Maria Bernad, influencers in both Copenhagen and beyond have donned their Scandi best to take a virtual front-row seat as brands unveil their latest collections online. Baum und Pferdgarten hosted a lockdown show, asking influencers across the globe to model a select look from their latest collection....
Chrissy Teigen Wore the “Weird” Jeans Fashion Girls Can’t Stop Buying
We all have plenty of “normal” jeans, so instead, let’s discuss a very popular “weird” denim style that you’ve probably seen on your Instagram feed by now, and that none other than denim-lover Chrissy Teigen just wore. The style is Agolde’s Criss Cross jeans, and they’ve gained quite the fan club and many glowing reviews since their release a few seasons ago. As the name implies, the Criss Cross jeans feature a crossover waistband (that should be shown off via a cropped top à la Teigen or a tucked-in shirt) and an on-trend loose fit. They come in a variety of washes and there’s even a shorts version to look forward to wearing come spring. To complete her look, Teigen added an oversized blazer and a pa...
Denim Will Be the Big Trend of 2021—Here’s Why
To understand the denim landscape of 2021, the first port of call has to be with trends. And where better to start that with the brand that’s synonymous with denim—Levi’s. I spoke to Jill Guenza, VP of women’s design at the iconic label, who revealed that the biggest trends are “‘90s nostalgia and ‘70s earthiness”. This is echoed across luxury and high-street retailers. I’d hesitate to say that skinnies are over, as we all know that no trend ever really dies it just lies in wait for the next time it becomes popular. Let’s just say, for many of us looking ahead, our skinny jeans have been lovingly put to the back of the wardrobe. So, what have we put in their place? Net-a-Porter tells me that the balloon leg is popular right now, as are jeans that have more stretch, due to many people ...
6 New Necklace Trends the Fashion Crowd Is Embracing
As a jewellery aficionado, I’m never not in the mood to add a new piece to my collection and while my earrings and rings are near-permanent fixtures, necklaces are where I love to play around and experiment. If I’m wearing something low-key, I’ll adorn it with a dainty chain while my power outfits call for something more statement-making. But no matter what, I’m never without a great necklace (or two or three, to be honest). And seeing as everyone else is thinking about dressing from the waist up thanks to Zoom life, I’ve been spotting a number of exciting new necklace trends already in 2021. So what are the stunning necklaces you can expect to see more of this year? From extra-large link necklaces to thro...
I Just Asked Jasmine Tookes How She Gets Such Glowy Skin—Here’s What She Said
The cynic in me used to believe that asking a supermodel for their skincare tips was counter-intuitive because to be a model you must have amazing skin already, right? Well, in a word, no. The truth of it is that models at the top of their game are likely to have a whole team of people dedicated to helping them achieve that glowy complexion of dreams. Nutritionists, dermatologists, facialists, makeup artists… You name it, and they’ve got the best in the business on speed dial.
