The Ultimate 2021 Capsule Wardrobe
This year has been like no other before it and I predict 2021 will be similar. The pandemic has impacted so many parts of our lives, including our wardrobes. It has proven that clothes aren’t just clothes—with a seismic shift in how we live, a change has also come with how we get dressed. This shakeup to our wardrobes has been the most acute for those of us who transitioned from offices to working from home permanently. Out went smart suits and in came knitted co-ords and trackies. Tie-dye became the print du jour and a pair of shearling-lined Birkenstocks became the ultimate status symbol (one of the most popular shoes of 2020, according to Lyst). Heels? We don’t know her. Brands such as Nike grew thanks to an increase in demand for athleisure items, despit...
The At-Home Alternative to Lash Extensions That We’ve All Been Waiting For
First up is The Control Kit (£108), which is all you need to get started and includes the patented Fuse Wand, two lengths of Gossamers (this is what the lashes are called), the flexible bond to glue the lashes and a sealing product. What makes Lashify unique is that you apply the 100% silk lashes, which come in little clusters and feel totally weightless, under your actual lashes instead of on top of them. It’s a bit tricky to begin with, as you apply the bond to your natural lashes and then stick the Gossamers on the root of your lashes, a few millimetres from the waterline. Then you use the wand to fuse them. The brand is very transparent that this requires patience and that you’ll get better at the placement of the lashes over time. Because I’...
To Be Honest, These Luxe Bally Pieces Are What I’m Really Wishing for This Year
I really try to be modest, but if I’m being completely honest, I have expensive taste. I always throw a few really nice (like, really nice) items on my wishlist during the festive period because why not, and if someone else doesn’t get them for me, I’ll usually splurge afterwards with the presents that came in the form of good ol’ cash. For the past few days, I’ve had my eye on, well, everything from Bally’s site. The Swiss brand, known for its elevated, super-luxury pieces, is just what my closet needs. Keep scrolling for the goes-with-everything handbags, über-cute shoes, and chic accessories that just made their way to the top of my list.

New Year’s Eve Outfit Ideas That Are Ideal for Sitting on the Sofa
Let’s be honest here: There’s a slim chance any of us are really going out this New Year’s Eve. While a walk to look at some fireworks (a safe distance from others) is definitely on the cards, partying the night away in a pub with a G+T in your hand is looking extremely unlikely. A shame, I know, mostly because NYE feels like that last opportunity to get dressed up in something sparkly and festive. I appreciate this sounds rather doom and gloom, but I don’t mean it to. For starters, sequins aren’t just for Christmas (wear them in the summer, people!), and who says you can’t dress up for your sofa? This year, I very much plan on wearing the black sequin trousers I bought from Mango three years ago with a top TBD and a full face of make...
This It Bag Will Be the Most In-Demand Accessory of 2021
From their Re-Edition Nylon mini bags to their ever-adored Monolith chunky boots, Prada has long been the thought-leader when it comes to creating buzzy It-items. Season after season, the Italian fashion house manages to deliver the kind of luxury buys the fashion crowd can’t help but gravitate towards. And although in recent years the brand has championed more outré designs (who remembers those instantly-recognisable flame heels?) it appears this season, Prada is making a return to a more classic aesthetic with its Cleo Shoulder Bag. Defined by a sleek curved mini-hobo shape and the brand’s triangle insignia front and centre, the Prada Cleo is the kind of hushed minimalist piece you will undoubtedly keep forever. Unsurpri...

All of the ’90s Fashion Trends That We Still Love Wearing Today
Just when you think all of the possible forgotten looks from the 1990s had remained hidden, along comes another one. How much do you want a really ridiculously small bag right now? And how much better would it be if it had tiny handles and was rendered in silk-satin (see Kate Beckinsale below)? Or what about those ’90s Kate Moss images you come back to time and again for inspiration on what to wear on a night out? We’ve recently rediscovered a love for old-school Sarah Jessica Parker and combat trousers, too. The revivals are coming in thick and fast, people. Thick and fast.

9 Affordable Homeware Pieces I’ve Saved on Instagram This Month
More often than not, when it comes to homeware, I find an amazing mirror or chair after an Instagram scroll and then discover it costs more than three months of mortgage payments. Instagram might be a breeding ground for £4k mirrors and eye-wateringly expensive vintage chairs, but I’ve found lots of amazing high-street interiors pieces on there, too. If you’re looking to add some finishing touches to your home, whether you are renting or are in your own house, below, you’ll find some high-street gems that influencers have introduced me to recently. There’s a beautiful Zara Home wood and glass vase that will make your dining table look like a hotel lobby and an Arket blanket which is becoming just as sought after as any of the brand’s clothes. If you ...
This Anti-Legging Trend Is Officially Happening
There’s no doubt about it, joggers are one of the defining trends of 2020. Yep, sweatpant outfits are practically eclipsing other wardrobe basics among the fashion set. Equal parts comfortable and cool, it’s easier to see why they’re sticking around in our new day-to-day lives. Much like the suiting trends that have emerged this year—where bigger proportions and looser silhouettes have been winning out over body-skimming shapes—athleisure has been growing more relaxed and pyjama-like with jogger silhouettes replacing formfitting leggings. So what are the best ways to wear sweatpants outfits? Taking some notes from fashion insiders, there are plenty of chic ways to style them whether worn with structured blazers and sneakers or chunky knits an...
