This £9 Product Is the Reason Celebrities Always Look So Glowy
That’s right—there’s one product, in particular, that some of the most glowing celebrities can’t get enough of. From Beyoncé to Charlize Theron and even the makeup artist behind Meghan Markle’s wedding day beauty look, the Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm (£9) is a skincare favourite amongst the A-list, and for good reason. No, you might not immediately associate a cheap skin balm with Hollywood royalty, but it turns out this super-affordable product works wonders at giving skin a lit-from-within radiance. Originally formulated to provide a protective barrier over dry, cracked skin, more recently, the super hydrating balm, which contains hydrating glycerine and repairing panthenol, has been repurposed for a number of beauty tasks. Whether you’ve got dry hands, eczema or you simply want ...
A Month-by-Month Breakdown Of the Best Selling Beauty Products of 2020
In a year that tested our patience, emotions, resilience and bank balances, our choices in beauty and skincare products seemed to reflect our collective mood: we needed to be looked after. A month-by-month breakdown of the best selling beauty products of 2020, revealed some interesting shopping trends. Somewhat unsurprisingly, hand sanitiser and luxury handsoap topped our lists in 2020. But as self-care became less of a social-media buzzword and more of a daily necessity in 2020, there was a noticeable rise in skincare, haircare, and bath-and-body purchases overall. A report by McKinsey saw that while the pandemic did affect how we shop (mostly online) we did invest in our pamper products. It stated that “Zalando, Europe’s largest fashion and lifestyle e-commerce marketpla...
These 63 Spring Outfits Make for Easy Scrolling
During 2020, it’s safe to say my style was built solely on comfort. Like so many, working from home meant I barely left the house, save from walking the dogs. Living in Scotland and being the sort of person who feels the chill in even the slightest o summer breezes, meant that, when I did so, I had to wrap up. Aside from the odd dress or skirt-and-jumper combination, I spent inordinate amounts of my time in joggers—and not fancy ones at that. Comfortable they may be, but wearing them day in and day out made me feel as if I’d lost my sense of style. While they’re still likely going to remain an integral part of my wardrobe in 2021, I’ve decided that I’ll also be experimental with my outfits. To equip me with all the inspi...
I Started Shaving My Face With This £24 Product—and I’m Never Turning Back
To say I was dubious about dermaplaning is an understatement. Until recently, there was one skincare myth I wholeheartedly believed in: shaving your face would make the hairs grow back thicker. It was only until a friend (with skin as smooth as marble) revealed she regularly removes hair from her entire face that I became a little more open-minded. However, she explained she wasn’t shaving but rather dermaplaning and it was the secret to her glowing skin and make-up. I’ve been a convert ever since. I currently use Veet’s electric dermaplaning tool (£23.00), but what does it actually do? From an easier makeup application to brighter skin, skincare enthusiasts have waxed lyrical about the benefits of dermaplaning. On the face of it, dermaplaning is an intensive exfoliating treatment he...
10 Styling Ideas That Will Give Your Jeans a New Lease of Life
Ahh, jeans, where would we be without them? As someone who avoided wearing them for the first 20 years of my life, in the decade that’s followed, jeans have become as equally integral to my wardrobe as knickers and bras. I honestly don’t remember how I ever got dressed without them. And while they might not always be the most exciting thing to wear, they do open up countless sartorial possibilities. Fellow denim devotees will tell you that jeans have the potential to unlock countless excellent outfits, and you need only look to Instagram for proof. From Lauren-Nicole’s sleek take on the Canadian tuxedo to Ada Oguntodu’s penchant for retro flares to the way to Emili Sindlev wears ecru jeans, you’re going to look at your denim drawer in a totally new light after seeing these next-level ...

These 6 Colours Are the Key to an Expensive-Looking Winter Wardrobe
Once the colder weather settles in, there are a few key things we can always expect. Firstly, on weekdays, we’ll be rising earlier than the sun. Secondly, we’ll begin daydreaming about open fireplaces. And thirdly, we’re about to start seeing a whole lot more beige, brown, and orange tones on the rails. Whether it is because those colours mimic the hues of the changing leaves or simply play contrast to the bright colours we typically wear earlier in the year, there is something about this season that has everyone dressing in warm, cosy tones and timeless neutrals. It’s a tried-and-trusted colour palette that I know I turn to year after year, as each shade looks good individually but also seamlessly complements the other. We’ve noticed members of the style set also getting ...

What to Wear to a Wedding: 9 Outfit Ideas That Never Fail to Look Good
There’s no denying the fact that COVID has completely turned the wedding industry on its head. Plenty of nuptials have been cancelled, re-scheduled or made incredibly low-key this year due to the new rules. While we don’t know what’s ahead for 2021, we very much hope that there’ll be plenty of weddings going ahead. This also means, of course, that we’ll have an excuse to dress up. But, seeing as we haven’t done much of that of late, we need a few reminders of how to get dressed, especially for big events like a wedding. We all have to walk that fine line when it comes to deciding what to wear to a wedding: You want to look striking, somewhat fun, but still appropriate. You want to be remembered for the right reasons, even if it isn’t you...

I’ve Lived in NYC, Paris, and L.A.—These Are the Fashion Essentials I Swear By
While I talk about fashion on the regular and share snaps of what I’m wearing, travel is another big personal interest that demands most of my other attention. For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a fascination with travel—a passion that I attribute in part to my Sagittarius inclinations. Even though my travel plans have been put on hold this year, there’s no denying the impact all of my past travels have had on me. Notably, the cities I’ve lived in. Over the years, I’ve spent as much time as I’ve been able to exploring new places and moving to new cities, which is why I’ve lived in NYC, Paris, and L.A. during my adult life. Each city is known for fashion in its own way, but it’s clear that there’s a distinct take on style in each place. Living in each of the cities, I picked...
I’ve Worn Nothing But Leggings for the Past Year—These Ones Are Flattering
Over the past week, much of the world’s shopping habits undoubtedly changed as we adjusted to life at home. It goes without saying that we’re shopping for fewer dresses and more comfortable athleisure items than ever right now. To prove this point, global fashion search engine Lyst just put together a report compiling the “stay at home” online shopping searches that have spiked as of late. Among the insights are tidbits like the interest in comfy sports clothing in the U.S., the fact that sneakers are the most in-demand shopping category, and the brands that are piquing the most interest. We were particularly intrigued that among the most-wanted items for women, the number two slot (after Oska Yasha linen trousers) was Spanx leggings. As someone who h...
