We Predict These Expensive-Looking H&M Boots Will Sell Out Fast
We love a good winter boot as much as the next person, but we have a particular soft spot for unearthing a high street hero that not only looks the part but also is kind to our bank balances. This month H&M was the latest brand to offer up one such gem in the form of its knee-high kitten heel boots. A bit of a departure from the many chunky-soled styles proliferating on the high street this season, this pair has a a far more elegant feel to it, which very much matches our craving to feel a little more polished right now (anyone else feeling a little loungewear-weary?)

Thomas Tuchel defends outburst following Champions League win
Thomas Tuchel says he “understands” criticism of Paris Saint-Germain but dismissed its credibility when coming from fans and journalists watching from a “sofa”. PSG were out of sorts in the Champions League on Tuesday, as last season’s beaten finalists scraped a narrow 1-0 win at RB Leipzig. The decisive goal, an 11th-minute Neymar penalty, was one of just three shots on target mustered by PSG over the course of the match. Tuchel said after the game that he would not apologise for winning in a somewhat ugly fashion, with Leipzig enjoying 63 per cent of possession and managing 15 shots in total. He put the underwhelming performance down to fatigue caused by the team’s packed schedule, though it was not their only unimpressive display in recent months. Before Tuesday, PSG had lost three of t...

Zara’s Loungewear Section Is So Good I May Never Want to Wear Jeans Again
Not that I wear jeans very often these days, but one glance of Zara’s loungewear section and I may never want to reach for my rigid denim again. Their latest drop of casual-cozy pieces are beautiful with a capital B, and as a homebody whose middle name is basically hygge, the collection fulfills my coziest loungewear dreams.

Moreover, with more time spent at home this winter, we’re looking for loungewear that is casual, but also ready for whenever an Insta-moment may arise.

Holy Moly—Zara’s Sale Just Suddenly Started
And if you want more pointers, we have an insider who gave us some valuable tips on how to shop the Zara sale in the UK so expertly that you’ll be guaranteed to get there first (and find the pieces you’ve been eyeing up all season).

This “Boring” Hairstyle Is Ideal for 2020’s Alternative Party Season
I’m rubbish at doing my hair. There; I said it. I remember, as the girls in my class at school nimbly crafted French plaits in one another’s hair, there I was, struggling to get my pigtails to sit symmetrically. Fast-forward a few – okay, twenty – years, and I’m still just as inept at doing anything remotely interesting with my hair. That said, there is one style I’ve come to master, particularly over the last few months: The ponytail. I always wear my hair down or, at a push, in a low messy bun, reserving ponytails for my infrequent trips to the gym. However, I’ve realised that the ponytail, while undoubtedly practical, can also be wholly chic and is, in fact, the perfect party hairstyle for 2020 that anyone can do—myself included. Everywhere I look...
Love Princess Diana’s ’90s Style? Here’s How to Recreate the Royal’s Most Rebellious Outfits
When flipping through the coolest photos of Princess Diana, there’s always one thing that runs through my mind — imagine if a royal were to wear bike shorts today? The scandal! Even more than her inimitable fashion sense was her rebellious spirit, which is why I am more than okay with Diana’s ’90s style shaping our wardrobes once again. Around the time of Diana’s divorce from Prince Charles between 1991 and 1996, the Princess of Wales began wearing very short and slinky dresses to public engagements. When off-duty, she would wear surprisingly casual — and American — pieces like cowboy boots, baseball caps, and bike shorts. The “revenge dress” was perhaps the princess’s most iconic fashion moment, when she turned up to a 1994 Serpentine summer party...
The Naked Laundry Wants to Make Wearing Indian Clothing Accessible
The Naked Laundry is a new clothing brand founded by Nikita Ladwa for South-Asian women everywhere. It specialises in crop tops that double as sari blouses and its aim is to put the stressful blouse-fitting saga to an end, once and for all. Targeted at Asian women in the UK, the brand also has a pretty solid presence in India — and we caught up with Nikita to find out why she launched The Naked Laundry and the inspiration behind her favourite pieces. POPSUGAR: Tell us a little bit about how the brand came about and what made you want to start it. “If you do lose a few pounds here and there, you can still fit into the size. It is satin and it’s stretchable, so it’s super comfy as well.” Nikita: The Naked Laundry came about a few years back, when I was at university a...
Alighieri Launches Charity Jewellery Collection to Support Victims of Domestic Violence
Global cases of domestic violence rose by 20 percent in 2020, with one-fifth of all crimes reported in the UK’s first lockdown involving abuse in the home. With many victims still trapped inside with their abuser, British jewellery brand Alighieri responded with a dedicated capsule collection of five necklaces, with 100 percent proceeds going towards domestic abuse support charity Refuge. Alighieri’s founder Rosh Mahtani began a partnership with Refuge in May after hearing about the rise in domestic abuse cases. Since then, the brand donated 10 percent of online sales to Refuge and raised over £65,000 for the charity. To take the support further, Alighieri is launching a charity jewellery collection of five pieces to mark Refuge’s 50th anniversary. The first piece of the ...
