This 56-Year-Old Model Looks a Decade Younger—Here Are All Her Skincare Secrets
Yep, we all know that one person who looks as if they’ve stopped time. They might be in their 30s to 40s but easily look like they’re a 20-something. Maybe they even ID’d. Call it what you want, but I’d venture to guess that there’s someone in your life who’s managed to negate the natural effects of aging in one way or another, and we’d be lying if we said it didn’t absolutely intrigue us. No matter what age you are—or whether you’re even concerned with “ageing”—it’s near impossible not to be curious about how these people have managed to Benajmin Button right in front of our eyes. One such example is Caroline Labouchere, a grey ambassador and model whose glowy, flawless complexion has stopped me in my scrolling track...
The Hardest-Working Staples to Buy Now and Wear Forever
As an editor of a fashion website, I spend a lot of time reporting on new trends, new labels and new ways to wear things. However, sometimes you really never can beat a classic, and it’s arguably more important to build a wardrobe that you’ll love for years, if not decades. Thinking of the longevity of your purchases not only is a way to have a more sustainable approach to fashion but will also help you to carve out a style that is timeless and feels truly you. The idea of a capsule wardrobe created a real buzz around 2014 when a number of industry figures promoted a compact closet built of pieces that all perfectly match. There are some items that we think will always rise high above trends, making them the perfect pieces to invest in and add to your capsule (or not-so-capsule...
Brit Celebs Always Wear These 5 Winter Items
Dressing for winter in the UK is no easy feat, though there is something distinctly British about knowing how to put together a great outfit despite all the elements—some of us even enjoy the challenge. Between the stormy gales and a high likelihood of rain, there are myriad factors to consider when it comes to getting dressed each day during the winter. However, those of us who call this place home have spent years perfecting the outfit formulas we know will keep us warm, dry and of course, looking stylish. When it comes to staying warm and chic celebrities tend to be just as savvy as the rest of us, and many of the UK’s leading fashion lights also champion the very same hero pieces we rely upon to survive the season. From double-breasted wool coats that will keep you cosy on your ...
6 Ways I Make My Nightly Bath Even More Blissful
Whenever I tell someone that I didn’t have a shower in my house until I was in my late teens, they’re always incredibly shocked. What can I say? Both my mum and I loved baths, so we never really felt the need to reconfigure our entire (relatively small) bathroom to fit an unsightly cubical. As far as I was concerned, showers were an oddity. That was until I started working and the shower my mum had finally permitted my stepdad to install came in especially handy when I was running late (which, admittedly, was just about every day). Now that I have a bathroom all my own—with a shower and everything—I still prefer to soak than stand. I have a bath almost every night, particularly in the winter months. A bath is a perfect way to unwind after a stressful or busy day or to warm you...
Feathered Hair Is Officially Back, so Here’s All the Inspiration You Need
It’s easy to forget, but trust us when we say that hair trends have come on leaps and bounds in the last 15 or so years. Nowadays, more often than not, we know exactly what we want when we sit down in the salon chair. Whether it be hand-painted balayage, rogue blonde, or a glass bob, we’re more clued up on the intricacies of hair techniques than ever before. But let us not forget where this all started. Cast your minds back to when every salon appointment started with you handing over a picture of a celeb torn out of a magazine. Soon enough, we picked up on new terms—things like “inverted bob” (VB, you owe us for the cold necks we suffered), “babylights,” and, perhaps the most frequently uttered words in salons throughout the ’90s and early noughties, “feather...
This Green Solution to Gel Nails Will Revolutionise Your At-Home Manicure
There are two things that I have zero time or energy for: packing my own suitcases (I find that someone will always help me) and doing my nails. I don’t know if I just lack coordination, but it always ends up looking a mess. So when I do sit down to do my nails myself, I need my manicure to last beyond two business days. A reward is necessary for all the time and labour I put in, and thanks to Parisian nail brand Manucurist, there’s finally a reward. The brand has just launched in the UK, and its Green Flash Kit (£69), which is the first and only plant-based alternative to gel nails, has me seriously impressed. I was skeptical, of course, as I really don’t like the faff of gel nails and having to go back to the salon to remove them. Plus, I was curious to see how their g...
French Women Have Worn Their Shirts Like This for Years
What’s been said about French style that hasn’t been said before? Well, not much, really. Our Gallic neighbours, especially in the capital city, are exceptional dressers. They just know style. It’s as if they are born with it. Their innate understanding of what looks chic is unmatched, and while I know it can seem a little tiresome that we bang on about French fashion, we have a good reason: it never goes out of style. Today’s history lesson on la mode a la Francaise is the loose-fitting shirt. Thanks to French fashion designerJacquemus’s Bahia tie-front shirts, I’ve been re-thinking the huge-collar trend and thinking about opting for this classic look as worn by French women for years.

27 Interior Pieces You Won’t See on Everyone Else’s Instagram
I am currently in the process of moving house and have, of course, fallen down a deep dark Pinterest hole. Like Narnia, time seems to take on a different quality in these digitalised worlds, and I can slip into the app and, in the blink of an eye, surface five hours later feeling disorientated and nursing an RSI injury. My one and only issue with the magical world of online interiors inspo is that there is an ever-present risk that your home will end up looking like a physical manifestation of a Pinterest algorithm, and by that I mean like every other millennial’s that year. While there isn’t anything inherently wrong with moving with the crowd, there can be no greater satisfaction to be found in taking the interiors road less travelled. My (not very groundbreaking) solution? B...
The One Face Mask Our Readers Just Can’t Get Enough Of
Like it or not, face coverings have become an ingrained part of our day-to-day wardrobes, and while function will always trump form in this department, we can’t deny that when we find one that ticks both boxes, we’re not going to say no. Well, it seems as though you, our lovely readers, agree because Liberty London’s face mask multi-pack has been trending like mad on all our stories this month, and we really can’t blame you. Coming in a stylish selection of Liberty’s signature floral prints, they offer a much-needed pop of colour to any outfit, be it a print-clashing printed midi dress or a paired-back loungewear co-ord. Washable and able to be re-worn, these are sure to become indispensable this winter, when you just need one to grab-and-go on your way to the...
I’m Short and Hourglass-Figured—These £75 Trousers Are the Perfect Fit
There are no flattering lighting arrangements or curation of super-expensive designer items that can save me from the torture of finding trousers that look good when you’re 5’1” and have an hourglass figure. For some reason, brands feel that cutting pants to suit my kind of body is entirely unnecessary and a waste of their designers’ and manufacturer’s time, but the sad state of affairs in this part of my wardrobe would vehemently disagree. I’m sure many would concur that our individual figures and measurements are often overlooked—from what’s stocked in stores to how women are represented in ad campaigns—but I find that the pants department is particularly cruel. (Zara, I’m aiming 99.9% of this comment at your trousers section.) Which is why...
This Is How to Actually Get Rid of a Spot, According to Experts
While we all like to think that our skincare routines are tip-top, even those with 10-step routines complete with serums that will set you back hundreds of pounds aren’t immune to a pesky spot from time to time. That’s right. Although getting the odd whopper of a spot can leave you screaming Why me?! from the rooftops, you should also find solace in the fact that literally everyone gets spots. Some spots might be painful and rock-hard, and others may appear red, inflamed, and juicy. While they can often leave you feeling helpless, providing you know exactly what to do, they shouldn’t stick around for too long. Howard Murad, MD, FAAD, board-certified dermatologist and founder of Murad explains, “There are two overarching types of spots: non-inflammatory and inflammatory. Non-inflammatory sp...
