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...
I Want to Wear Every Single Thing This Little-Known Brand Creates
I don’t know about you, but I’m really craving fun outfits right now. Okay, we might not have many places to wear the aforementioned looks, but if there’s one thing I know about 2020, it’s that we need to find joy anywhere we can, even if that means wearing an oversize coat or a colourful bag. If that sounds like something you’re looking for, I have good news: Stand Studio is here to inject a bit of excitement into your daily outfits. Predominantly, the label is known for creating oversize faux fur and shearling coats. But they’re not exactly run-of-the-mill. How they differ is that they come in bright colours and interesting patterns. From a black jacket lined with shearling in highlighter green to a head-to-toe chequered jacket in beige and brown, these are definitely going to make...
Without a Doubt, These Are the It Coats of 2020 So Far
Was there ever a better year to invest in an It coat? If you’re unacquainted with the term, allow me to explain. Much like the It bag, it’s all about the wow factor, whether the fashion crowd is going nuts for it, and whether street style stars are wearing it. Despite the fact that street style hasn’t been the same this year, with many fashion weeks going digital, we’ve still managed to get our fashion detective hats on and find the coolest pieces of outerwear around right now. Below, you’ll find a list of 17 different coats we, and the rest of the fashion world, are loving right now. Some you won’t be surprised at—such as Saks Potts’s brightly coloured fur-lined coats that have been a hit for a few seasons and the latest q...
These Coat-and-Boots Combos Actually Make Us Excited for Winter
A coat and boots is one of the most pivotal pairings in your winter wardrobe and one that needs to be ready to go the moment the cold weather sets in. But, as is often the case, it is also one of the hardest things to get right. Do you go matchy-matchy, or do you embrace the clash? Do you contrast polished pieces with casual silhouettes, or do you keep items within their “smart” or “casual” categories? Yep, there are too many options and so little time. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power.

Sabrina Star Lachlan Watson Gets Cosy With Alexander McQueen’s New Autumn It Bag
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina actor Lachlan Watson was one of our favourite stars to see at Spring 2020 fashion week, because their genuine love for style is so contagious. Recently, they showed their love for Alexander McQueen by posing with the brand’s new autumn It bag, the Tall Story. And Watson isn’t the only celeb who is loving McQueen’s new Story bag, Lady Gaga and Blonde actor Ana de Armas are also keeping the purse close by. The Tall Story is Alexander McQueen’s newest addition to the Story family of handbags for Autumn/Winter 2020, joining the house’s three other bag styles — the Story Book, Story Bag, and Story Shoulder Bag. The structured, tall and roomy leather tote is available in five colourways including a patchwork plum, red, and black piece ...
7 Ways to Style Up a Duvet Coat Now That We’re Living Outside
The humble puffer coat has come a long way since its original outdoor sports iterations. Thanks to Drake, Balenciaga‘s A/W 16 collection, and our constant pursuit of comfort, we’re very much in the era of the fashionable puffer coat. And 2020 is going to see this item of clothing gain even more popularity since the majority of our social lives will be taking place outside during the winter. As these jackets tend to cover us completely (especially if you have one of those head-to-toe versions), they can leave you feeling like it’s pointless to wear anything exciting underneath. But that’s actually not the case. I had a look at how some of my favourite Instagrammers have been wearing theirs and found some genuinely fun and exciting o...
These Are the 28 Best Fall Zara Items, and Yes, They Will Sell Out
Is there anything better than a fall Zara haul? I think not. The beloved retailer has built a cult following for more reasons than one, but if I had to name a few, the affordability, wide selection of trends and basics, and the inspiring styling are what come to mind. I am convinced that Zara gets better and better each season and fall 2020 is no exception. Don’t believe me? Well, I’m about to prove it to you. Ahead, I have gathered the 43 best fall items Zara has to offer from boots to sweaters and back again. Featuring this season’s biggest trends, coolest basics, and all the accessories you’ll need to complete the look, I have a feeling you’ll leave here with a shopping cart so full, you’ll almost wish you never clicked into this article in the ...
8 Hair Accessories That’ll Bring Your Outfits to Life
Hair accessories have undoubtedly commanded the fashion spotlight over the last few years. Just in 2017, I remember struggling to get my hands on a plain Alice band. Now, you can have said Alice band any which way: velvet, knotted, or embellished (more on that later). With party season increasingly looking to be replaced with festive-themed Zoom calls, we predict hair accessories are going to be more popular than ever. They’ll be in full view of your screen, after all. Even when you do venture out to meet a carefully selected group of friends or family members, you’re going to want to mark that moment by making a considerable effort with your attire. And when it comes to fanciness, nothing can compete with a hair accessory. From ’90s-inspired claw clips to a col...

This Genius Fashion Instagram Transforms Upcycled Items Into Collectable Designer Fashion and Accessories
Every so often we are lucky enough to find a fashion Instagram account that shows us something completely new and inspiring. When scrolling through the Explore page a few weeks ago, two photos by Japanese designer Daisuke Takamatsu (@dimda_) were so out-of-the-box creative that we had to instantly like and follow. Daisuke takes ordinary household items like cotton face masks and net foam for fruits and turns them into customised luxury accessories like Prada and Dior handbags, while also upcycling vintage designer pieces. Daisuke is a surrealist fashion designer, like Elsa Schiaparelli in the 1920s, who uses the cut-up technique created by Dapper Dan in the 1980s. What Daisuke’s work adds to Dapper Dan’s approach to knockoff culture is a focus on sustainability. The designer...
