This Is Hands Down the Best Place to Buy Cardigans on the High Street
& Other Stories is a safe bet for most items you could ever want to buy. The midi dresses are always crowd-pleasers, the coats have long been a fashion-girl favourite and even the knickers and bras are excellent. But there is one section that is making us all want to shop: the cardigans. So far, 2020 has been the year of the cardigan (partly down to Katie Holmes and that viral cardi, not to mention a lot of time spent at home), and & Other Stories has quite simply the best selection on the high street. If you want something with a little personality, we love the ones adorned with gold heart buttons. There are also so many silhouettes to pick from—from short-sleeved pastel cropped knits that have something so “Princess Diana” about them to oversized wrap cardig...
Nathalie Emmanuel’s Crystal-Covered Face Mask Adds the Perfect Amount of Sparkle to a Casual Outfit
Nathalie Emmanuel walked the red carpet for the premiere of Italian film Revenge Room by Diego Botta at the 77th Venice Film Festival on Monday, 7 Sept. The Game of Thrones actor wore a head-to-toe casual but elegant outfit designed by Miu Miu, which continues her ambassadorship for the brand’s “Miu Miu Women’s Tales” campaign. Emmanuel’s look for Revenge Room was extremely wearable, featuring a relaxed white t-shirt printed with a scene from the “Miu Miu Women’s Tales” film series and a cobalt blue midi-length silk-satin skirt. The t-shirt showed a scene from the “Miu Miu Women’s Tales” short film The Door, which is both directed by an award-winning Black female director, Ava DuVernay, and features an all-female cast of acc...
In The Duchess, Katherine Ryan Plays a Single Mum With a Beautiful Wardrobe – Here’s Why That’s So Important
Things you don’t typically see being worn on the morning school run: ballgowns, funeral attire, and satin pyjamas. Oh, and a jumper that says “world’s smallest p*ssy” worn over the top of the most fabulous feather-hemmed pyjamas. But that’s exactly what we see Katherine Ryan wearing at the school gates in her new scripted Netflix series The Duchess. The styling in the opening scene is just a slice of what’s to come in the rest of the show and plays an important role in the narrative. The Duchess is Ryan’s first-scripted series that she not only stars in, but also wrote and produced. The six-part, semi-biographical series follows a single mum whose name is also Katherine ( confusing, yes, but Katherine the comedian said she was “too lazy”...
This Is the Surprising H&M Item Our Readers Keep Buying This Month
If you’d asked my a few years ago about my thoughts on knitted vests, I would have told you that my only association with the item was the fact that Chandler Bing from Friends was their biggest fan. Though, over the last few seasons, the item has shed its previous connotations and become quite the fashion must-have. From runway to real life, knitted vests have gained popularity recently, so much so that the item has become one of the top picks amongst our readers this month. In fact, according to our data, H&M’s cable-knit slipover in particular has been the most purchased items amongst our audience for September. Now, that’s a pretty glowing recommendation. Created in a soft cream shade and featuring an intricate cable knit pattern, the item is practi...
Nathalie Emmanuel Makes a Satin Face Mask and Crop Top Look Elegant at Venice Film Festival
Nathalie Emmanuel made a surprise appearance at the 77th Venice Film Festival on Sunday, 6 September wearing a sweet purple co-ordinated set alongside her equally stylish actor boyfriend Alex Lanipekun. The pair were spotted strolling through the streets of Venice on the fifth day of the premiere film festival — making sure to stay safe by wearing chic face masks and sunglasses. The Game of Thrones actor’s beautiful violet silk-satin two-piece set is designed by Miu Miu with makeup by Florrie White and hair by Ben Talbott. The outfit featured a peplum cropped top with dainty spaghetti straps and a v-neck line. The mix of the ruffles and plunging neckline gave a girlish but sensual look, which Miu Miu is known for. The top was complemented by a matching high-waist, straight cut skirt ...
7 Work Outfits We Love for Autumn, Whether You’re WFH or In the Office
September is, without a doubt, one of my favourite months. June, July and August are either too hot or a disappointment, and October and November are too dark. But September is the middle ground—a truly perfect 30 days. Fashion-wise it is the ideal time to wear your favourite pieces from summer but with a few additional layers for the autumnal months.

I’ve Tried Countless Moisturisers, But I Always Come Back to This Cult Cream
What makes this cream truly “magic” is its matrix of oils and ingredients which flood your skin with moisture, making for a glowier, dewier, plumper-looking complexion. Affectionately known as the “magic eight”, the ingredients include: vitamins C and E, which work to brighten skin, bionymph peptide to plump, hyaluronic acid for hydrating purposes, camellia oil to lock in moisture, rosehip oil for added hydration and depuffing, shea butter to nourish and soften, aloe vera for smoothing, and frangipani flower extract, which has moisturising benefits and gives Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream its delicate, calming fragrance. Oh, and did I mention it comes with SPF15 locked in? “I always say that you can’t have a beautiful painting without a beautiful ca...
I’m Under 5’3”—These Are the 9 Outfit Secrets I Swear By
When you’re short, shopping for clothing is a bit of a battle. As someone who’s under 5’3″, I’ve regularly found myself in fitting rooms trying on laughably long jeans or jackets that make me look like I’ve come straight from the ’80s (such as unintentionally oversize shoulders). If you’re nodding along in empathy, rest assured that I feel your pain. But it doesn’t have to be this way. While we should all embrace whatever size, shape or height we are, I know that for me, sometimes appearing and feeling a little taller helps with being more confident, which is why I’ve looked to petite Instagrammers to gather some tips on how to dress a smaller frame. Although they have their own takes on fashion, there’s one thing they ...
Pretty Face Masks Exist—I’ve Found 30 of Them
Numerous designers and high-street brands have branched out into face masks, so you can now buy a printed Rixo or O Pioneers mask to match your midi dresses. Gap and Mango have plenty of reusable face masks, in gingham, polka-dot and animal prints. While if you want to support smaller British designers or independent brands during this time, the British Fashion Council has teamed up with Bags of Ethics to manufacture sustainable coverings from the designers Julien Macdonald, Rixo and Liam Hodges.

I Can’t Scroll Through Instagram Without Seeing This 2020 Trend
When it comes to fashion, some trends are blink-and-you’ll-miss-it subtle, while others become seemingly omnipresent overnight and then tend to follow you wherever you go. That is exactly what seems to have happened recently with Peter Pan collars. While the style is not exactly new (Ganni’s instantly recognisable collar shirt was extremely popular last winter), there does seem to be a higher prominence of the style this autumn. From check dresses with frill-trim collars to button-down shirts with embroidered details and cardigans to boot, Peter Pan collars are appearing across any and every clothing item possible this season, spanning contemporary and high-street brands. If we had to pinpoint it, we’d say Ganni should be credited for reigniting this ...
I Looked Through 600 Knits on ASOS, and These Are the Best Ones
As much as I hate to admit it, the time has come to start thinking about autumn outfits once again. Summer is now behind us (or so this week’s weather has proven), meaning sundresses and strappy tops are out and cosy knits and button-down cardigans are in. Not all is lost, though, as when it comes to fashion, autumn is often regarded as one of the best seasons to dress for. The cooler weather means there’s more opportunity to experiment with layers—without having to completely rug up as we do in the freezing winter months.
