The Stats Don’t Lie: These 4 Designer Bags Are Always Worth the Investment
The term “investment buy” gets bandied around a lot in fashion speak. Sure, classic camel coats and well-made shoes will see you through many years, but they’re only an investment in terms of how often you’ll wear them. It’s unlikely you’ll make any more reselling a pair of worn-out shoes. This is why you really can put “bag” and “investment” in the same phrase. Some brands (we’re looking at you, Hermès) will even increase in value as they patiently sit in a dust bag at the back of your wardrobe because of the waiting lists for new styles owing to the time and craft needed to bring a single, say, Birkin to life. Other styles just never date—like Chanel’s 2.55. According to top resale site Open for Vintage, more and more high-end designers are lo...
Katie Holmes Loves These £35 Sandals and I Can’t Wait to Wear a Pair
As far as fashionable footwear is concerned, the prominence of Birkenstock Arizona sandals is nothing new. The style has been around for years (since 1973 in fact) and is heralded as one of the comfiest options available. Then, arguably due to the pandemic, it became the world’s second most-wanted item of clothing in 2020, after Off-White’s face mask. According to Lyst, the global fashion search platform, it was the designer collaborations with Valentino, Proenza Schouler, and Rick Owens that helped to boost the brand’s profile but I’d also wager that the time spent inside combined with needing shoes we can go for walks in boosted the shoe’s desirability even futher. Celebrities agree too, including Katie Holmes, Gigi Hadid and Alexa Chung, who ove...
Holly Willoughby Wore a Stunning Halfpenny Bridal Two-Piece For Dancing On Ice Week 2
It’s fitting that after a weekend of snowy whether, Holly Willoughby wore a beautiful winter white outfit for week 2 of ITV’s Dancing On Ice. The stylish presenter’s two-piece bridal set was designed exclusively for the occasion by Halfpenny London, with Petal pearl earrings by Yoko London and shoes by Sophia Webster. Halfpenny London’s founder Kate Halfpenny was overjoyed to see Willoughby modelling her designs for Dancing on Ice and took to Instagram to share insights into what went into the fabulous bespoke bridal creation. “Im over the moon that beautiful Holly Willoughby (@hollywilloughby) is wearing a bespoke Halfpenny London two-piece on #DancingOnIce tonight,” said Halfpenny. “We love Holly’s style and the Halfpenny London mix of cool...
Witches Are in Fashion, According to Dior’s Couture Collection Inspired by Tarot Cards
The mystery and magic of the tarot inspired Dior‘s spring/summer 2021 haute couture collection. Creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri was drawn to tarot cards as a way to access the magic realm, explore the unknown, and reconnect with the soul of the world. The complete collection, titled “Le Château du Tarot” or “The Tarot Castle,” features gowns, pearl jewellery and hair accessories, shoes, and separates inspired by characters of the Visconti-Sforza tarot deck — one of the oldest surviving tarot decks in recorded history, dating back to 15th century Milan, Italy. For spring/summer 2021, Dior continues with its signature grey organza gowns and adds bodices covered in decadent illustrations by artist Pietro Ruffo. On-trend empire-waist silhouettes (similar to ...
Every Item I Love In 2021 Comes In This Jolly Colour
We are only 25 days into 2021, but I can already say with certainty that pink will be the colour of the year. The spring summer 2021 collections were vast and varied, but designers from all cities were united in what they were aiming to achieve with the clothes they created for spring 2021. They wanted to remind us that clothes can be a source of joy, and so there was an overarching feeling of optimism. The easiest way to promote a positive outlook with clothing is via colour, and although there were a rainbow of punchy brights used for SS21, the most popular colour of all was pink. Designers from major houses such as Valentino and buzzy cult brands like Molly Goddard used a pink palette of watermelons, fuchsias and hot pinks. One of the most iconic looks of the season was Valentino’...
16 Beauty Products We’re Saying Bye to in 2021 and What’s Replacing Them
Well, team, we’ve officially made it to 2021. Congrats all around! To be standing here, on the other side of the hardest year ever, is an accomplishment worth celebrating. Although the challenges of yesteryear trolled the hell out of us, they also taught us a ton of new skills to keep in our beauty arsenals. Maskne? We know how to handle her. Overgrown roots? Not for long. But one of the biggest lessons we learned is that a lot of products we’ve been using don’t deserve to accompany us into the New Year. Harsh but true. While we’re not totally out of the woods with all of the craziness we faced last year, we’re certainly moving in the right direction toward a much more peaceful new normal. As such, purging our beauty routines of any dead weight is a must. Than...
This Is the Secret Place Editors Go to Shop for Cult Items
It’s hard to deny that shopping these days can appear a little overwhelming. With IRL browsing off limits due to the current climate, we’re all having to go 100% digital, but with so many online stores out there it can be hard to know where to start. Of course, we all have our go-tos whose ‘new in’ sections are becoming more familiar than our own family members’ faces, but without the physical act of strolling down the high street, or past your local independent stores, it’s a lot harder to come across those great deals or new names you might have once just stumbled across. On top of that, the hours of screen-staring and searching can’t possibly be good for us. Enter Lyst. Yes that’s, L-Y-S-T. If you haven’t already heard of it, it’s coined itself ‘the definitive shopping platform’, and th...

I Scrolled Through Next’s Spring 2021 Collection—Here’s What I’d Recommend
We’ve got to that time of year when the spring collections are finally starting to roll in. It might not be the thing at the forefront of our minds (for obvious reasons), but there’s something about the entry of cotton dresses and light jackets that fills us with a tiny bit of hope, even if it’s just for the promise of warmer temperatures and longer days. Well, for what it’s worth, the spring collections aren’t looking too shabby, and we’re here to help you navigate the maze of new season fashion. This week we’ve focused our spotlight on British high street institution, Next. It might not be known for the most cutting edge of designs, but it’s a consistent failsafe for affordable wardrobe heroes that look great, whether youR...
My Mum Is 73 and Loves Expensive Skincare—Here’s Her Review of The Ordinary
“The Ordinary is an evolving collection of treatments offering familiar, effective clinical technologies positioned to raise pricing and communication integrity in skincare,” the brand states on its website. “It was created to celebrate integrity in its most humble and true form. Its offering is pioneering, not in the familiar technologies it uses, but in its honesty and integrity. The Ordinary is born to disallow commodity to be disguised as ingenuity. The Ordinary is ‘Clinical formulations with integrity.”‘ So when we were discussing the brand and five of its top-selling formulas during a recent editorial meeting, I couldn’t help wondering what my 73-year-old mum would think. Even though she loves a good bargain and does swear...
