All of the ’90s Fashion Trends That Are Still Around in 2020
Just when you think all of the possible forgotten looks from the 1990s had remained hidden, along comes another one. How much do you want a really ridiculously small bag right now? And how much better would it be if it had tiny handles and was rendered in silk-satin (see Kate Beckinsale below)? Or what about those ’90s Kate Moss images you come back to time and again for inspiration on what to wear on a night out? We’ve recently rediscovered a love for old-school SJP and combat trousers, too. The revivals are coming in thick and fast, people. Thick and fast. Keep scrolling for our guide to the ’90s fashion items, trends and combinations we wore to death and then forgot about until now. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

6 Easy Summer Outfits That Are Anything But Boring
If I had to sum up my ideal approach to fashion in one phrase, it would have to be maximum impact, minimal effort. I love outfits that can be thrown on and styled in no more than five minutes flat, yet you know when you walk out the door you could fool people into thinking you spent hours carefully putting it together. While for many people, looking good during social distancing is hardly at the top of their priority list (understandably), I have found that clothes can really have a transformative effect on my mood. However, as I have found myself becoming better acquainted with my sofa, the minimal-effort part of dressing has definitely taken precedence. Thankfully, summer is a season that lends itself to the low-maintenance approach to dressing, as you can stick to simple and time-tested...
Princess Beatrice Just Got Married In a Vintage Dress Belonging to the Queen
The royal weddings we’ve seen over the past decade have included enormous guest lists and processions through crowds of thousands, however Princess Beatrice married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi yesterday in a small intimate ceremony at The Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor. It’s fitting for this small family ceremony that Beatrice’s wedding dress was such a sentimental choice—she wore a vintage Norman Hartnell embellished gown that belongs to her grandmother the Queen. Beatrice made some alterations to the vintage dress, working with Stewart Parvin and Angela Kelly to add delicate organza puff-sleeves underneath the existing statement straps and add a new trim on the skirt. The Queen first wore this evening gown in 1961 to a state dinner in Rome and then a year lat...

14 Bucket Hats To Keep You Safe In The Sun This Summer
A few years ago, if you’d asked me about my opinion on buckets hats, the response wouldn’t have been a positive one. My only association with the item was primary school in Australia, where a strict “no hat, no play” rule was enforced daily, meaning that if you didn’t have a wide-brimmed hat atop your head, you weren’t allowed outside during recess or lunchtime. However, while the item might have played somewhat of an antagonist role in my youth, bucket hats seem to have had quite the makeover in recent years, going from dreaded item to fashion must-have. With cult brands like Ganni and Faithfull creating the item in a myriad of fun prints and contemporary colourways, buckets hats have become a hallmark of the stylish women’s summer wardrobe. Influencers from Lucy Williams t...
Everything Experts What You to Know About Looking After Your Hair Right Now
It has now been over two weeks since hair salons in the UK were allowed to open, but many of us are no closer to being able to get our hands on an appointment. And it’s not surprising really, given the circumstances. You see, a huge amount of people all want their hair cut/dyed in a short space of time. However, the last couple of weeks have been more interesting than ever for hair stylists. Not only has the routine of appointments had to drastically change in order to comply with new legislation, they have also been faced with new challenges when it comes to treatments themselves. “If you haven’t had a hair cut in over four months, the quality of the hair is definitely going to be poor. What tends to happen is that the hair starts to split up the hair shaft. Wispy ends tend...
The Ultimate French-Style Summer Top Is Back For 2020
I can confidently tell you that when it comes to style like some decades, some people never really go out of fashion. Jane Birkin is one of them. Held up as a bastion of chicness, the star’s style particularly during the late ’60s is a reference point we always go back to. Or, to put it more correctly, we never stray from. Exhibit A. is Birkin’s basket bag that she constantly toted around. From holidaying in the South of France to shopping, there are myriad shots of Birkin wearing the aforementioned style. No, she won’t have been the first person to wear this bag as a fashion statement but it’s indisputable, especially over the past few years, that the reappearance of wicker, basket, and woven bags is due to Birkin’s influence.&n...
Outfits That Prove It’s Still Chic to Wear Black in Summer
When it comes to discussing popular summer shades, the colour black is hardly the first that springs to mind. The dark hue not only attracts heat but is often synonymous with formal occasions or colder weather, rendering it practically redundant in the summertime. While it might not be the first colour on your list, I am of the mindset that an all-black ensemble will look chic no matter what season we are in. Surprisingly, several influencers have recently been posting images of themselves in monotone black outfits, further proving just how practical the shade can be in warm weather. From smocked puff-sleeve midi dresses to tie-detail skirts and tube tops, creating an interesting all-black look relies on selecting a unique silhouette.

Augustinus Bader Just Released a Cleanser and It’s Basically Liquid Gold
The truth is, the new cleanser is genuinely the most perfect cleanser my face has ever been blessed to. My concerns that the texture would be overly creamy and sumptuous were totally wrong. Actually, it’s a relatively runny, gel-like formula that has the silkiness and nourishment of a cream, but the deep cleansing abilities of a gel. With aloe vera leaf juice, cucumber extract and rose flower water, it’s calming, soothing and purifying, making it ideal for sensitive skin types like mine. However, most importantly, it’s formulated with TFC8 to deliver all of those high-grade vitamins and amino acids to boost cell renewal and repair. When massaged into damp skin, it creates a luxe-feeling lather that cleanses pores with ease and, once rinsed, leaves skin feeling healthy and, dare I say, norm...
These Are Without a Doubt the Dewiest, Most Glowing Foundations Out There
Let me preface this by saying that I have a very turbulent relationship with foundation. Any product that works to cover up all of the things that make skin look like yours is a big no-no if you ask me. And all too often, I find that so many foundations do just that. They leave skin looking flat, dull and void of life. Given the fact that every single aspect of my beauty routine is dedicated to brining out my inner glow, trying to find the perfect, natural-looking base that works to smooth and blur without totally repainting my complexion has proven tricky over the years. In fact, I’ve tried just about every foundation that’s ever come my way in a bid to find the most glowing, second-skin formula. It’s safe to say that it’s been a rough ride. Naturally, I have come across a bunc...
I’ve Just Tried Some New Vegan Nail Polish—and I’m Seriously Impressed
I don’t want to toot my own horn but I have a specific beauty skill that I’m incredibly proud of. I can’t wax my own legs without crying out in pain (and yet I’ve been in labour) and I absolutely wouldn’t go anywhere near box hair dye but I can paint my nails really well. Yes, I love a proper mani like anyone but I’ve managed to hone this skill to such a degree that even beauty editors I’ve worked with think it’s salon-level. I might not be good at self-promotion in anything else, but on this I’m certain. So, you’ll indulge me then when I tell you that I’ve found some great nails varnishes, and even better they’re vegan. Firstly, though, you’ll probably want to know what makes a nail varnish vegan. From my research, it means that vegan polish is free of any animal byproduct...
