This New Candle Collection Actually Has Me Excited for Winter
And trust me when I tell you this is out of character. Deep, warming scents do not usually appeal to me, as someone who likes my home to feel fresh and airy. The sweet, sickly scents that are traditionally associated with autumn (think pumpkin, vanilla and spices) really do not tickle my fancy. However, one particular launch this year has totally converted me. Comprising of six, bisque ceramic jars (which are arguably works of art themselves), the new Jo Malone London Townhouse Collection manages to exude all of the wonderful crispness of autumn, without being too overpowering. However, before I reveal to you what exactly it is that has me fussing over these candles, I want to mention the price. They are £90 each, which even by this candle-hoarders standards, is pricey. TheyR...
These Are the 5 Most Powerful Anti-Ageing Ingredients Known to Experts
Despite the fact ageing is very much a part of life, it is still, without a doubt, one of the most widespread concerns when it comes to our beauty needs. It seems like every new beauty launch has some sort of mind-boggling anti-ageing ingredient complex. But the sad truth is hardly any of these products actually live up to their age-delaying claims. One term that you definitely should be on the lookout for when shopping for anti-ageing products, however, is “antioxidant.” Chances are you will have heard about antioxidants before. Skin experts and beauty editors wax lyrical about them, but does anyone actually know what they do? Celebrity facialist and skincare expert Debbie Thomas explains, “Free radicals are toxic compounds that can damage healthy cells and weak...
Trust Us—Here’s How to Find the Best Black Friday Deals From Your Sofa
There are plenty of opinions around what is best to buy over Black Friday and Cyber Monday. When it comes to shopping for clothes, shoes and accessories, you want to find classic pieces that have been slightly out of reach or things 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.” As for beauty, Who What Wear’s Deputy Editor Mica Ricketts recommends buying “electrical goods—especially for hair and face, such as the Foreo.” While none of the deals are in yet (you’ll have to hold out until November for those), keep scrolling to see what we hope to nab in the Black F...

I Asked Some of the Most Influential Women in Fashion What They Dream of Buying
One of the most influential roles in fashion has to be a fashion buyer, as these are the ones who decide what makes it onto the shop floor (or virtual shop floor), influence which brands will be rising stars for the year and decide the items and trends that we collectively think are really worth investing in. Who better then to turn to for a shopping list for autumn winter 2020, then fashion buyers? They first saw these collections back in February before lockdown restrictions were put in place across Europe, and how we get dressed and what we look for in clothes has seen a note-able shift. I asked buyers from Net-a-Porter, Matchesfashion, Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Brownsfashion to share the eight items they personally would dream of buying from the autumn winte...
This Makeup and Skincare Hybrid Is The Ultimate Foundation Alternative
First things first, let’s talk about the shades. I don’t feature any brands that don’t have a wide shade range, because it’s 2020, we have iPhones and apps that can literally run our lives, so not having a diverse range of foundation shades is inexcusable. So, when I found out that there were only 6 shades I was somewhere in between rolling my eyes and asking to speak to someone in charge. But, there’s good reason for it. The shades were formulated using the Fitzpatrick Scale that takes into consideration things like sun exposure and skin tone to ensure a perfect match. The 6 shades have different undertones and I was pretty shocked that shade 5 was an ideal match for me and also worked for my mum too, despite us being different skin tones. You can get f...
Miley Cyrus’s Blooming Flower Dress Is by Our Favourite New London Designer Miss Sohee
Miley Cyrus performed her latest power ballad “Midnight Sky” for The Graham Norton Show on Saturday, 10 Oct. The single is the lead track for her upcoming seventh album She Is Miley Cyrus, and although we love the message of finding yourself in the freedom of owning your mistakes, we were absolutely fixated on the iridescent dress worn by her cardboard cutout and designed by one of 2020’s most inspiring young creatives — Miss Sohee. Cryus’s cardboard cutout wore the beautiful Peony gown from Miss Sohee‘s graduate collection for Central Saint Martins, titled “The Girl in Full Bloom”. The pink-and-lime-gold Peony dress is described by the designer as a “digitally printed, partly hand-dyed dress made in quarantine” and features a strapless...
I’m a Coat Fanatic, and These Are the Styles I Always Turn To
I don’t know if I’m alone in this, but every year when the rest of the UK seems to be in mourning for the end of summer, I’m happily waltzing around my bedroom lovingly clutching the winter coats that have been trapped in hibernation for seven months. Each one comes laden with memories, and each one packs its own personality when worn. There’s the oversize trench from & Other Stories that never fails to make me feel like I’m in an old Audrey Hepburn movie or my vintage leather coat, which gives any outfit a sassy ‘70s twist. There’s also the statement-making burgundy patent trench for when I need a subtle pop of colour and the quilted coat for cosy minimalist cool. A white tee and jeans can have...

3 Ways We’re All Going to Wear Jeans in 2021
There was no escaping the ‘90s this year, and that’s set to carry on into 2021, with a big focus on straight-leg styles. Karolina Ekman, collection manager for & Other Stories, said that the straight cut continues to be a favourite: “We love the timeless appeal of this iconic garment, and our core jeans collection of five new cuts celebrates that.” But it’s not just the high street which is celebrating this trend in the upcoming collections. Heajun Park, womenswear design director, EMEA, for 7 For All Mankind, said similar: “For 2021, we believe that straight fits will be our strongest performers, so we’ve focused our attention on the Alexa and Modern Straight and expanded our selection of colours and washes.
