How Much Should You Really Spend on an Engagement Ring?
In our minds—and we assume the minds of many cash-strapped UK millennials—the amount spent on an engagement ring should be 100% up to the person buying it. While you can, of course, adhere to the above rules if that’s what you want, you can also take the advice of Michelle Oh, founder of Michelle Oh Jewellery, who says that ultimately choosing a piece of jewellery, especially, an engagement ring is a very personal choice. She also said that the focus has very much shifted from one that was all about how much the ring cost to what the ring wearer will like—so in many ways price doesn’t matter as much as it used to. Now keep scrolling to see some engagement rings we love. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating sh...
25 Dresses I’ve Found That Are Perfect for Working From Home
When people ask me what I’ve done over the pandemic, I can proudly say that I’ve perfected the cinnamon bun (it’s all in the proving), learnt how to use a sewing machine, and I have also managed to create the ideal working from home wardrobe. Yes, that does consist of a lot of stretchy denim and chunky knitwear, but it might surprise you to know that some of my favourite WFH outfits are dresses. There is, of course, one big box that any home office frock must tick: it has to have a bit of give. While I don’t imagine any of us are reaching for the Hervé Leger, some fabrics and silhouettes can be a little restrictive and uncomfortable so when I go for a dress to wear all day at my desk, I need it to be comfortable. That being said, it als...
The 7 Items I Plan on Living In This Winter
Like most people currently living in tier 2 or tier 3, my weekend plans suddenly involve long winter walks, as there are varying restrictions on indoor activities. I love a long, blustering walk, but I wouldn’t typically choose to spend so much time outside in November. Whether you’re walking in Hampstead Heath, Hackney Marshes, or the Highlands, you’ll need practical items that will keep you warm over the course of winter. If you want outfits that will keep you toasty but are a little more interesting than a boring fleece and thermals, below, you’ll find seven items that will see you through a winter of outdoor activities in style. The first essential item you’ll need is a coat that will act like your very own portable heater, so I recommend you start w...
Trust Me—These Will Be the Most Popular Shoes in 2021
With track-sole boots becoming virtually ubiquitous earlier this year, it was only a matter of time before the chunky-sole trend infiltrated other types of footwear. That’s why it hardly came as a surprise this season when we started seeing statement loafers launch across luxury and high-street brands. When it comes to designer brands, Prada has been one of the labels at the forefront of this trend. The Italian fashion house launched a logo-embellished chunky loafer earlier this year, garnering the attention of models and influencers including Elsa Hosk, Pernille Teisbæk and more. (The coveted style has since sold out across multiple platforms.) Understandably, several other brands have also embraced the trend, with Proenza Schouler adding their signature c...

These Are the Most-Requested Nail Colours in Salons Right Now
When the weather begins to cool, there are certain switches we start to make. We find ourselves drawn to knitwear, pulling on opaque tights, and generally donning a darker colour palette. This transition, however, isn’t solely reserved for our wardrobes; in fact, one of the first things we change up in a new season is our nail colours. That’s not to say you can’t wear bright nail colours in chilly months, but there’s something that just screams winter when you’ve got a moody or rich manicure. Not only do they look the part, but they feel incredibly luxurious, too. For inspiration, I asked some of the country’s top salons to tell us which autumn/winter nail polish colours their clients are asking for most right now. Se...
All My Friends in Their 30s Recommend These Anti-Ageing Products
Although the internet would have you believe that millennials are only obsessed with buying plants and artisan coffees, we are (mostly) all grown up. It’ll come as no surprise, then, that when it comes to the beauty products we’re regularly purchasing, millennials are certainly “maturing.” Plenty of trend reports say we’re much more focused on skincare than makeup, opting to invest in products that aim to enhance what’s underneath. (Though, I certainly still enjoy both.) Between lengthy Korean skincare routines and new fancy gadgets, the fashion girls I spoke to are certainly upping their skincare game of late. Yet anti-ageing is still something many are unsure about. When exactly should we start an anti-ageing routine? Most importantly, do these prod...
This Is Where Every Influencer Seems to Be Getting Their Boots Right Now
If you were wondering where influencers are getting their winter shoes from this year, it feels like you’d be right 90% of the time if you guessed Dune. A long-time favourite of the British high street, the brand has impressed again this season. Never ones to miss out on a great affordable find, the fashion set can’t seem to get enough of Dune’s new drop, full of chunky soled boots and nineties loafers, perfect for taking on the long winter we have ahead. With a plethora of on-trend styles to choose from, and designs that look way beyond their high street price tags, it’s no surprise that our Instagram feed seems to be flooded with Dune’s new styles right now. Although the brand is well known for having a couple of sellout styles each season (their Lockstockk sandal from summer ...

7 Trending Autumn Dresses We’ve Seen All Over Instagram
Do you ever scroll through Instagram and get an odd sense of déjà vu, feeling as if you’ve seen an image—or, more specifically, an outfit—before? As a fashion editor, it happens to me all the time. I’ll spot a dress that seems familiar, only to realise it’s graced my feed one, two, or three times previously on various other stylish people I follow. From a specific shoe to a statement handbag, often, several members of the fashion set will be spotted wearing the same item. And while it used to be considered a fashion faux pas to be wearing the same look as someone else, now it is simply the sign of a trending item. Already this autumn, we’ve noted multiple influencers in the same dresses from brands including H&M, Song of Style, and...
This “Ugly” Nail Colour Is Suddenly the Only One That Matters for Autumn
I never thought I’d see the day that the colour brown would make the ultimate comeback. You see, I fall about midway on the millennial age spectrum, meaning I grew up in the heyday of teen sensations Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, and Destiny’s Child, who all regularly sported brown everything—from then-fashionable culottes and page boy caps to beauty staples like nail polish and lipstick. But once the 2010s hit, it’s like brown got publicly shunned and relegated as the ugly stepsister to all the other colours. (Even pea-soup green has been prioritised above it.) But as the years have passed and trends have shifted, brown seems to be making a resurgence. On the fashion side, the once “ugly” colour has taken over the runways, and now,...
5 Flat Shoes That Are Almost as Comfortable as Slippers
This year working at home, I have been alternating between two pairs of shoes: my sparkly Ugg slippers and my Marks and Spencer ballet pumps that I’d argue are just as comfortable as the former. I’ve found myself wearing my ballet flats in working hours in an effort to “still get dressed” in the mornings without compromising on comfort. When it comes to flats, there are certain styles that are comfortable but still have the same chuck-on appeal of an old pair of slippers. Admittedly, several of the pairs on this list will require a period for breaking in, but once you have softened the leather on your loafers and your feet have adjusted, they’ll be shoes you can walk 10,000 steps in—or from your desk to the kettle and back. On th...
