Trust Me— These Boots Will be Everywhere This Autumn
Given the fact we’re currently in the midst of a summer heatwave, it might sound strange to be talking about boots. Though autumn is not too far away, and with it will come a whole host of new seasonal trends to explore and analyse. If the runways are any indication, over-the-knee boots will be the number one footwear hit of the season, as the shoe style was seen throughout the Autumn/Winter 2020 shows, spanning Proenza Schouler, Victoria Beckham, Bottega Veneta and Khaite. Often featuring an angular square toe and mid-level heel, this season we’ve seen the silhouette lenghten from year’s past when knee-high boots were ever-present. Heather Gramston, head of womenswear at Browns also agrees that over-the-knee boots are having a moment. Speaking of the Autumn/Winter 2020 ...
I’m a Beauty Editor—These Are the Best False Eyelashes I’ve Ever Tried
This year marks my 10th anniversary, as it’s an entire decade of my false lash-wearing. At this point, I’d say we were going pretty steady. I made the decision to shift from layers of mascara to strip lashes because my makeup routine was taking way too long. Over the years I’ve mastered the craft and can apply my strip lashes in any given situation (and with one hand). Whether it’s on a plane, train or cramped in a pocket mirror. Bragging time over, but they’re really not as tricky to apply as you might think. It only requires practice, patience and good glue. I have my go-to batch of lashes that I always use, so I thought I’d try out some of the false lashes that are on the market, to see which ones are the best. It has been 10 years after all and my ...
I’m a Beauty Editor, and I’d Never Buy These 7 Products
Obviously, I love beauty products. Even when I’m not writing about them, I’m using, browsing and shopping for them. But there’s a whole lot of noise in the beauty industry, and it often feels like there are too many products demanding our attention. After trying probably thousands of products, I know what works for me and what doesn’t. I also believe that there shouldn’t be a product just for the sake of it—it needs to add something different or useful to the market. So while I have an extensive list of the products I’ll always use and go back to, there are some that simply just don’t work for me. You’re probably used to reading about beauty editors’ favourite beauty buys, so keep scrolling to find out the products I’ll never buy ...
I Live in Paris—These Are the 4 Swimwear Trends I Always See in the Riviera
Holidays (or shall I say, les vacances), despite the relaxed connotations surrounding the concept, is a serious subject in France and no one does holidaying quite like the Parisians. Living in a country with one of the most amounts of paid holiday days in the world, the Parisians really know how to take advantage of it. I have never lived in a city before where it feels like almost the entire population migrates south for the month of August. And yet this is not to say that they don’t work hard the rest of the year, they just make the most of their time off and really know how to holiday. Even in this COVID-19 era, it’s been a hot topic of conversation. And with the Mediterranean on their doorstep, they are perfectly placed to fully profiter (enjoy) their time off, with multiple options in...

If I Only Had 13 Items in My Wardrobe, It Would Be These Versatile Pieces
I recently did a deep dive through my wardrobe in an effort to clean out pieces I’m not wearing anymore. (P.S., the “flip the hanger” trick works wonders.) As I cleared out items to donate, I ended up mentally noting the key items I truly rely on. You know, those pieces that would essentially make up my capsule wardrobe. And sure, I still have a range of items in my wardrobe, but in reality, if I only kept 13 casual summer and transitional pieces, I know which would be the front-runners thanks to their versatile nature. As you can probably guess, the clothing and shoes in question are all basics because they can seamlessly be mixed and matched with other simple items to create easy yet chic outfits. In case you’re intrigued at what my curated wardrobe would look lik...

This is the Summer Sandal Alexa Chung and Sienna Miller Agree On
As a brand, Birkenstock is no stranger to designer collaborations. Over the years, the footwear label has partnered with the likes of Valentino, Rick Owens and more, to create special edition iterations of its instantly-recognizable sandals. Of course, this summer is no different as Birkenstock recently launched a collaboration collection in partnership with buzzy, New York-based brand Proenza Schouler. Taking Birkenstocks’ signature two-strap silhouette, the designers added contrast top-stitching to the sandals and released the footwear in a range of colours including black, white, silver and yellow.

Celebrity Sightings Have Been Rare in 2020—but Here Are 23 Outfits I Love
As events have been cancelled around the world, we have seen very little of the celebrities that are usually photographed weekly. However as social distancing starts to relax and more people venture outdoors, we are starting to see more A-list styling choices. There have been several stand-out looks this summer, from Kendall Jenner’s £89 House of Sunny dress to Katie Homes’ vest top and jeans winner. As red carpets are still on pause, instead of elaborate gowns the celebrity outfits we are seeing this summer are more relaxed, every day looks that we are more likely to be able to recreate ourselves. When it comes to throw-on appeal, you can’t beat a summer dress, and so most of the outfits on this list involve a breezy slip, midi or mini dress. Keep scrolling to see what ...
A Dermatologist Ranked the 3 Worst Body-Lotion Mistakes
If there’s anything I’m very strict about when it comes to my beauty routine, it’s my body lotion. I might forget a step in my nighttime skincare routine, but I never forget to put body lotion on after I shower or in the mornings, even I don’t shower. For the most part, it’s paid off. Aside from the occasional eczema flare-up on my hands, arms, or neck, I have pretty smooth skin. But since I’m a curious person and like to question everything, I wanted to know if there were some things I was missing when it comes to body-lotion application. So I reached out to dermatologist Naissan O. Wesley, MD, FACMS, of Skin Care and Laser Physicians of Beverly Hills to get her tips and to see what role body lotions play in reducing premature ageing or the signs of ag...
