7 Outfit Formulas the Olsen Twins Have Down to a Science
When it comes to Olsen style, there is a certain aesthetic the sisters have down to an exact science. If we were to put it succinctly, we’d say it’s all about the proportions, as the sisters often play with voluminous shapes or oversized silhouettes. However, they don’t just wear clothes that are a few sizes too big. No, Ashley and Mary-Kate and are much smarter with their style than that, as they play with proportions very strategically. For example, the twins will happily wear an oversized dress or floor-length skirt but will ensure they cinch the item at the waist, or they’ll wear a borrowed-from-the-boys style shirt and straight-leg trousers but will tailor the trousers immaculately so that you can still see a part of their ankle. It’s the key to keeping things oversized...

Ran Off On The Plug: Fashion Nova Claims Rich The Kid Finessed Them Out Of $100K
Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Rich The Kid has some explaining to do and it seems he will have to talk slow in court. He is being accused of taking a bag from one of the most successful clothing brands in the country. As spotted on TMZ the Atlanta native has been hit with a lawsuit from Fashion Nova. The Los Angeles based brand claims that they struck a deal with the “Plug Walk” rapper back in October 2018. Their terms stipulated he would promote the Fashion Nova Men label on his social media feeds in accordance to their suggested social media strategy which included specific product placement in his photos and hashtag direction. Additionally he agreed to name drop the company in his songs. For these services he was paid a cool $100,000 which were scheduled to occur from October 2...
I Tried On H&M’s Collaboration With The Vampire’s Wife, and Here’s My Verdict
All in all, this is a thoroughly feel-good and fabulous collection for those who want a slice of The Vampire’s Wife action without forking out the four-figure price tag. But unlike some of the other collaborations H&M has hosted, this one is definitely at the affordable end of the spectrum, with pieces starting at £10 for a frilled collar and going up to £50 for a lace midi dress. In truth, this is reflected in the quality. However, I would say the dresses feel similar to any other dress you might find for the same price point at H&M. Certain pieces stood out more than others. For example, my hero buy has to be the ruffle-sleeve lace minidress, which perfectly pays homage to The Vampire’s Wife’s flattering cuts thanks to the...

6 Brands We Love That Make Their Products Right Here in the UK
How much thought do we really give to where our clothes are made? In my case, historically, it has not been enough. While in recent years, there has been a push to support local, knowing where your clothes are made is about so much more than just simple geography. From reducing carbon emissions to ensuring quality working conditions and fair wages, supporting brands that manufacture their product locally here in the UK has several positive flow-on effects. And whether it be a small studio in East London or a home base in another part of the county, there are several innovative, independent brands who have recognised the importance of this home-grown supply chain structure. Made-to-order label Molby handcrafts all of its unique garments in Wirrall, while lingerie label ...

The 8 Affordable Jewellery Brands I Wish I Could Keep A Secret
I for one, don’t subscribe to the idea that in order to shop sustainably you need exclusively splash the cash on designer wares. Most of my jewellery was bought on the high street and has happily served me for years. It’s all about keeping a beady eye out for a good piece or design that will stand the test of time and cater to a variety of outfits and occasions. If you’re not sure where to start, let me help you.

I’ve Worn Glasses for Nearly 20 Years—Here’s How to Find Your Perfect Pair
I have worn glasses since I was 17, so now at the age of 35, I’ve tipped over into the realm of having worn glasses for more years of my life than not. I have, of course, in that time worn plenty of different styles, but about four years ago, I discovered my perfect frames—black, thick rimmed, and slightly oversize from a brand called Cubitts, an independent optician. I know that they’re a real “fashion” choice, and by that, I mean they make a statement. However, I often get complimented on them and even had a colleague message me over Slack after a Zoom call (so 2020) to ask me where I got them from.

Kate Middleton’s New Coat Shows That Colour Isn’t Just For Summer
When it comes to personal style, Kate Middleton is definitely a creature of habit. The Duchess of Cambridge often finds looks, styles or silhouettes that work for her and then wears them on repeat (whether it be floral face masks or a-line dresses). One such example of Middleton’s consistent style is the royal’s penchant to red coats. From Christmas Day to more casual occasions, Middleton has been spotted in a red coat more than a few times. Today, the Duchess opted for the shade yet again as she attended the launch of the Hold Still campaign wearing a crimson-hued, floor-length coat by Alexander McQueen.

Clueless Costume Designer Mona May Reflects on the 25th Anniversary of the Classic ’90s Fashion Film
Clueless was way ahead of its time. The quintessential ’90s fashion film based on Emma by Jane Austen — which is now available to stream in the UK via NOW TV — is a cinema classic thanks to writer and director Amy Heckerling and costume designer Mona May. Unlike generic films about fashion or high school, Clueless doesn’t glorify mean girl behaviour, which is a reason it continues to be fun, fresh, and relevant since its 1995 debut. The film gives a rare look into the fictional friendship of two of the most popular girls in high school, who are expectedly rich, stylish, and desirable. And despite Cher and Dionne’s familiarity with being the envy of others, their solid friendship and genuine love for fashion makes Clueless an enduring teen hit. On the film’s 25th ann...
This Little-Known Ingredient Is Perfect For Dry Skin
First things first, there’s squalane and squalene. Unhelpful, I know, but it makes it easier to explain what it is. Squalene is naturally produced by the oil-producing glands (sebaceous) in our skin. We’ve been made to believe that oils are the bad guys, but they’re a wonderful way to keep skin moisturised. So, squalene maintains our skin barrier and keeps everything nice and hydrated. Cosmetic chemist Rachael Polowyj says: “Although squalene is a key component of our skin’s natural moisturisation factor–to keep the skin soft, supple and to prevent transepidermal water loss–it’s a relatively unstable chemical molecule which breaks down quickly, hence why we tend to use squalane in our cosmetic products instead.” So, in the same way that the&nbs...
