I Asked 6 Cool Women What They Are (and Aren’t) Buying for 2021
Even during the most sociable non-COVID times, it’s very easy for a fashion editor to exist in a bubble of one’s own industry companions. It’s the kind of safe space where we egg each other on to definitely buy those super-expensive Bottega boots (so classic!) or start wearing our jackets perched on our shoulders instead of firmly on our arms (so chic, though!). However, I’ll always say the same thing to any young budding style journo: Fashion is not an island. We do not exist alone and we certainly cannot function without the contribution and influence of other parts of our culture, society and economy, or without the input of other creatives. It’s important to look outside of one’s inner circle to understand the mood ...
Rose Perfumes Can Have A Bad Rep—but I Think These Are Beautiful
Rose might just be the marmite of fragrance and who would have thought that such a beautiful flower could be so divisive. While, a delivery of 28 stems of red roses will hardly ever be refused, bottles of perfume touting rose as the main note are often subject to some deliberation. I’m very into rose and I’m here to convince you to do the same. I’m often sipping on rose teas, clogging up my sink with rose petals from my bath or adding rosewater to my hot chocolate. Yet, my favourite way to use rose has to be in perfume. Sure, for many people rose perfumes conjure up nostalgic scenes of great aunt’s wearing floral dressing gowns, but trust me, they’ve come a long way. I picked out my favourite rose perfumes to tempt you with, so keep...
I Tried This Styling Rule for a Week and Felt Like I Had a Whole New Wardrobe
I moved to London from Australia with precisely one suitcase. In it I packed a few jumpers, several skirts, multiple pairs of jeans and (very naïvely) a single winter coat. Having a rather limited wardrobe means that everything in my closet has to work double-time, as each of my items need to be versatile enough to cater to both my work and weekend attire. It also means that I need to be creative with my pairings, developing new ways to wear items I’ve owned for years. Luckily, the streets of London provide a slew of daily inspiration as I’m constantly observing the interesting ways other people put outfits together. (Yes, the tube might be packed, but it’s also filled with #OOTD ideas if you just look closely enough.) I’ve...
If I Wanted to Attract Someone’s Attention, I’d Wear This Trend
Every now and then, something so simple yet so brilliant is designed, and you know you’d be mad to not buy it, especially when the price tag isn’t prohibitive. In general, I don’t encourage splurges or panic purchases, but if a piece can be at once classic and trend tapping, effortless yet entirely sassy, then it’s a no-brainer and shouldn’t be ignored. One such item that has ticked all of those boxes for me recently is a luxury knit off-the-shoulder top from our in-house brand, Who What Wear Collection. The latest winter drop included both a top and a midi dress with the same chic sweetheart neckline and bodiced fit. The sweater version became an instant hit not only in our (virtual) office but also amongst the influencers who managed to pick it up...
Bridgerton’s Costume Designer Reveals How Dior and Chanel Inspired a Modern Regency Wardrobe
Bridgerton is a visual feast unlike any we’ve seen before. The decadent Netflix period drama created by Shondaland is based on the first book in the Bridgerton series of romance novels by Julia Quinn, The Duke and I. The costuming, much like the series itself, is a completely fresh take on what you would expect from the Regency era — filled with colour, texture, and scandal — and POPSUGAR spoke to costume designer Ellen Mirojnick about how she created a Regency wardrobe that we wish we could wear today. “I love Portia’s character so much because she’s somewhat of a cross between Elizabeth Taylor and Joan Collins in a Regency time that we’re making modern.” Mirojnick designed the gorgeous gowns on Bridgerton by layering modern fabrics and colorations over...

Trust Me—These New Eyebrow Products Are a Total Game-Changer
As someone with very curly, extremely bushy brows (including a lovely monobrow), I am particular about my brow tools. Over the years, I’ve spent considerable time in the threader’s chair trying to coerce my eyebrows into a decent shape. Most know, it’s a painful process. However, as the salons closed throughout the pandemic, I needed a saving grace. And, Refy Beauty is now a staple in my arsenal. Available in three shades — light, medium and dark — it consists of three brow tools. To achieve the look, it’s a three-step process that is surprisingly easy to do.

Commit These Top Designer Jewellery Brands to Memory
On the whole, jewellery never goes out of style. No matter the decade or the trend, the unique designs of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and rings have served as both statement pieces and daily accessories. Whether pearl, gold, silver, rose gold, diamond, or something else entirely, a good jewellery piece can stand alone, completing your outfit and adding the right amount of elegance and sparkle. As much as we love our day-to-day pieces, though, we’re always on the hunt for new ones to add to our collection, ones we will hopefully be able to pass on as family heirlooms.
