11 Beauty Looks I Am Impatient to Try This Year
When it came to our beauty priorities last year, skincare reigned supreme. Given the fact that most of 2020 was spent in the comfort of our own homes, any need, want, or desire to pay attention to our hair and makeup routines dwindled. Time usually spent on makeup application was instead used for self-care rituals like kicking back with a face mask, doing an at-home manicure, or indulging in a quick facial massage. Having said that, while there’s no doubt that spending this time on my skin was much-needed (in hindsight, it acted as a nice form of escapism), I’m officially ready to get back into this beauty thing properly. Sure, it’s been great to let my skin breathe and give my hair a bit of a break, but the truth is that I really miss doing my hair and makeup. At the start ...
6 Jewellery Trends I’d Love to Add to My Collection This Year
The words “jewellery” and “trends” really shouldn’t be used in the same sentence in my opinion, as this is one area in particular where you want to buy with longevity in mind. Any additions you do make to your jewellery box need to feel really “you,” because few purchases are as personal and sentimental as a piece of jewellery. For this very reason, the trends cycle in the jewellery world is much slower than we see with ready-to-wear collections, and there are items and styles that will always, always appear on a trend list. One of the most surprising shifts in spending behaviour since the pandemic began in 2020 has been the rise in fine jewellery sales. “We have had a brilliant reaction to fine jewellery, which has grown 150% year...
Trust Monikh: the Items That I’m Adding to My Wardrobe In 2021
There are hundreds of thousands of influencers in the social ether, but only a handful who we religiously stalk in order to virtually steal the clothes off their backs. Our primary target is Monikh—the London-based styling and shopping guru who seeks out the very coolest buys from every corner of the retail world. From her inspiring tips on re-wearing her well-chosen investment items to hunting down the coolest high-street pieces, her Instagram feed @monikh and website are a veritable hotbed of things you’re going to want to purchase immediately (and will never regret). Each month, Monikh will share her new picks exclusively for you… 2021 is here! And while of course nothing has really changed, I find the start of a new year so empowering. A new year is full of possibilities, for exciting ...
Outfit Planning Is Hard Right Now, so Let Rosie HW Do It for You
If you’re a regular around these parts, you’ll know our obsession with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley—be it her wardrobe or skincare collection—knows no bounds. In our edit meetings, we find ourselves discussing her looks at length and why each and every thing she chooses to wear is faultless. So when we saw that Rosie had compiled all of her latest ensembles into one handy Instagram carousel, we did what only seemed right and broke them down piece by piece into easy-to-mimic outfit formulas. Upon doing this, we realised that Rosie has inadvertently created the perfect 2021 capsule wardrobe. Sure, there are a good few coats in her current rotation, which we could absolutely do with right now, but underneath them are items we can already see ourselves wearin...
22 Easy Hairstyles You Can Actually Do At Home
I’ll admit, I am totally useless at doing my hair. While I can just about handle a curling wand, I am yet to master a proper blow-dry and when it comes to actual hairstyles I’ll either wear it down (exciting) or in a topknot. However, we are all spending a lot of time at home lately so I thought I should seize the opportunity to step outside my hair comfort zone and try something new. In fact, I called upon Adam Reed, UK Editorial Ambassador for L’Oreal Professionnel, to lend me his expertise when it came to finding the best easy hairstyles that we’ll all want to recreate right now.

I’m a Beauty Editor and This Is Every Product I Used Up In 2020
There’s nothing I enjoy more than being asked for a product recommendation. Whether it’s a glow-seeking colleague asking for tips on the best brightening face masks or a a tired mum friend seeking an eye cream that will actually work on dark circles, I have always loved offering up advice on the best beauty products. But how do I determine what’s worth recommending? Well, I’m lucky in my job as a beauty editor to be sent a huge amount of products to test which means that my beauty stash is in near constant rotation. Some products make their way in and out pretty sharpish while others might stick around for a little while before making their way into my friends and family donation pile. There is no greater seal of approval, however,...
Every Celebrity I Follow Seems to Have a Pair of These Gold Hoops
Gold hoops are one of those items, like skinny jeans and a white T-shirt, which in theory should be very easy to find, however in practice it can be difficult to find the perfect one. Over a year ago fashion influencer Lucy Williams released her latest collection with jewellery brand Missoma, and the gold hoops quickly became a firm favourite with the fashion crowd. The likes of Alexa Chung, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Bella Hadid have all worn these hoops, along with almost every fashion influencer in London. There are six available styles, with varying sizes and finishes, from every day subtle hoops to larger styles which are more impactful.

& Other Stories Cult Blazer Is Back For 2021 and is Looking Better Than Ever
They say nothing haunts you like the things you didn’t buy (or something like that, right?). Regardless, it’s a feeling of regret I know all too well. Last year, I fell head over heels for a cover-up from & Other Stories. Specifically, a woollen blazer. A light beige hue with an oversized silhouette and a weighty, woven finish, the blazer would make for the perfect accompaniment to my off-duty jeans-and-jumper outfits. It would also make for a chic throw-on over printed dresses and pleated midi skirts. Maybe I was waiting for payday, or perhaps I’d recently bought something else. Whatever the reason, I decided to wait for a couple of weeks to treat myself. However, as you’ve likely already surmised, it sold out before I could get my hands on it. As such, I spent...
7 Stylish 2021 Looks Made Up of Just the Classics

You’ll also notice a slew of inspired shopping picks that could be of interest as well. Keep scro...
I’m a Tracksuit Aficionado and These Are the Coolest 9 Brands
Anecdotally speaking, when you work in the fashion industry, you fall into one of two categories: You either love tracksuits or think by wearing one, you’ve given up on life. I am in the former category—I have always had an affinity for sportswear. It’s not that I’m especially sporty (netball in Y6 was probably my athletic peak), but I like how comfortable it is and when worn right how smart it can look. I spent months hunting down a pair of classic Adidas tracksuit trousers on eBay and wear a specific pair of Ganni trackies all the time. You could say I’m a tracksuit aficionado. Today, luxury sportswear is everywhere, thanks to the explosion of athleisure. While the aforementioned trend has moved away from yoga leggings paired with oversize hoodies à la Bella ...

If You Thought These 24 H&M Items Were Designer, I Wouldn’t Blame You
It can’t just be me—I had to do a double-take when I saw these H&M finds because they’re just so stunning. Perusing the site’s new arrivals is a weekly activity of mine and on my latest visit, I came across more than a few finds that actually stopped me dead in my scrolling tracks. While these pieces fall well under the £100 mark, I wouldn’t blame you for assuming otherwise. As a fashion editor, I have a keen eye for spotting expensive-looking details and since I’m always looking at designer clothing, I can easily spot those luxe details elsewhere. And the H&M pieces you’re about to see below immediately reminded me of something I would see on a luxury retailer, whether it’s a buttery yellow-hues sweater o...
