London’s Queen of Layering on Epic Winter Outfits and Perfect Gift Ideas
Even before we discovered a newfound love for loungewear this year, my mantra was always to dress practically, stylishly and timelessly—all things that fashion lovers know Gap always gets right. I’m never disappointed in the quality and I love how I feel whenever I wear their pieces, so I’m really excited to bring you these three cosy outfits from their latest collection, which I hope will inspire you for the coming colder months. My standout buys definitely include the cream Sherpa overcoat—as soon as I put it on I felt like a new woman, no joke and it’s absolutely perfect for throwing over all the fuss-free, super-casual outfits we all lean upon. And I’ve also fallen for a cashmere beanie and some...

These Low-Maintenance Hair Trends Are Going to Dominate in 2021
“When it comes to colour, you don’t want something that requires too much precision,” reveals hairstylist to the stars George Northwood. “Something that has become a bit of a signature of ours is a softer, natural balayage. With the disturbance of COVID and salons shutting for months on end, people are stepping away from that fresh, highlighted look that is quite high-maintenance and is tricky to maintain well at home without your colourist.” “Over the first lockdown, a lot of my clients saw their natural colour growing through and have actually gotten used to it,” Northwood continues. “So we are now seeing a lot more clients who are now experimenting with keeping their hair closer to their natural colour, which is far more easily m...
20 Chic Pieces I’m Scooping Up From & Other Stories Before It’s Too Late
If you didn’t know by now, & Other Stories is a fashion-girl go-to. You can’t scroll past two posts on IG without passing a stylish influencer rocking at least one item from the retailer. But since it’s beloved so much, its pieces sell out quickly. This winter, I’m making sure I’m not left behind, so I’m curating my own list of all my favorite things from the site to shop before they’re gone. From jackets and blazers to pair with dresses to boots and jeans to wear with sweaters, keep scrolling for my top picks from the brand.

I’m a Beauty Expert, and Here’s My Black Friday Shopping List
It’s a controversial thing to say but, in theory, Black Friday is so not my thing. I spend my working life advising people to consider their beauty purchases very carefully, and that message simply doesn’t align with the concept of Black Friday. Trust me, I totally understand the temptation of a bargain, especially when it comes to pretty beauty products. However, doing your research and working out which products are right for you is just as important on Black Friday as it is any other time. With that being said, there’s no doubt that now is the time to stock up on age-old favourites and dream products that have always been slightly out of budget. If you’re anything like me, your inbox will be flooded with flash sales, discounts and offers from every beauty brand and retailer out there, a...
I’ve Found 25 of the Most Unique Gifts From the Coolest Independent Brands
This year all retailers have faced a huge strain and pressure due to the pandemic, and small brands have certainly felt the brunt of the restrictions with cancelled orders, shuttered boutiques and warehouses and endless challenges with manufacturing and delivery. However the silver lining, has been the outpouring of support for these small but mighty brands. Ever since the first lockdown back in March, there has been a huge push across all sectors for consumers to buy local and buy small, using our spending power to support independent, small businesses. This doesn’t just apply to where we buy our bananas and our morning coffee, but is something many of us will be considering when embarking on our Christmas shopping this year. Cathleen Nicol, founder of handbag brand, C.Nicol previo...
Trust Me—These Are the Black Friday Deals That Are Worth Knowing About
Black Friday can be an assault on your email inbox, with every brand you’ve ever purchased from sending alert after alert about offers and promotions. It’s enough to make you want a full-blown digital detox. So, we’re arming you with essential tips to help you find the best clothing and fashion deals and avoid falling into any tempting clothing sale traps. When it comes to shopping for clothes, shoes and accessories during Black Friday, you want to find classic pieces that have been slightly out of reach previously, or hard-working basics that are missing from your wardrobe (such as a new winter coat or ankle boots). Joy Montgomery, Who What Wear UK’s shopping editor, advises to only buy “something that was already on your shopping list before it was on sale....
I’m Calling It—These 29 New Zara Items Won’t Be in Stock For Long
If you are a Zara-obsessed shopper like myself, you know that the good items always sell out, and that’s a fact. Lovers of the brand are ruthless when it comes to making snap purchases and filling their carts with the latest and greatest, and honestly, if you don’t turn up your urgency when it comes to shopping Zara’s new arrivals, you’re going to be sad. But I didn’t come here to deliver bad news. Instead, I am bringing you the best of Zara’s new arrivals section so all you have to do is scroll down and add your favourites to your cart. Instead of debating over all the cute but overwhelming products that arrive each week, I did all the heavy lifting for you. From shackets to boots, the shopping list ahead is comprised of all the fresh Zara products I, a...
These Low-Maintenance Hair Trends Are Going to Dominate 2021
Here we are; on the cusp of a new year, and boy do we plan on making the most of 2021. We’ve already (albeit tentatively) started mentally assembling fancy outfits for backdated weddings, and have even begun predicting the nail colours, new boot styles, and jean types that will be big news over the next few months. But with so much uncertainty still swirling around, there’s one question that lingers at the back of our minds: What will the defining hair trends of 2021 actually be? Admittedly, they don’t have much to live up to. Back in March, when hairdressers across the country were forced to close their doors, no one could foresee the impact it would have on our tresses. Those who couldn’t bear the thought of grown-out roots had little option but to reacquaint them...

From New York to L.A., This Is What Our U.S. Editors Are Buying at Zara
As a company, we feel so lucky to have teams across the globe, from London to L.A. While we have only managed to meet our fellow US editors in person a handful of times, thanks to social media, we are no strangers to their enviable style credentials and impeccable taste. We’ll happily take any opportunity to glean inspiration and tips from across the pond and implement them in our own wardrobes, and we realised it was high time that we share their wisdom with the world. We asked five members of the fashion team to head to one of our favourite global high-street brands, Zara, and pick the eight pieces that they’re loving right now. Of course, they did not disappoint, and they came up with a lust-worthy list of winter staples, feel-good separates, and elevating hero pieces. The ...
The Arket Puffer the Fashion Crowd Can’t Get Enough of is Finally Back in Stock
If our statistics are anything to go by, lockdown 2.0 is seeing a surge in sales of puffer coats. We’ll have to wait and see if there will be the same increased demand for jigsaws and Farrow and Ball paint, however judging by the sales referred by Who What Wear over the past few days, everyone is on the hunt for the warmest coat they can find. With walks with one person outside of your household still permitted this lockdown, warm winter outfits have never been so vital. I have been on my own hunt to find the perfect puffer coat over the past week, and after hours of trawling, I settled on the maxi down coat from Arket. If my social life is going to be al fresco in December, I want to be cocooned in as much padding as possible. It comes in black, khaki and camel, and has a cosy hood...
