The 5 Shoe Trends French Girls Wear With Simple Summer Outfits
When we want an effortless and chic outfit idea, we often turn to French girls. Although, that’s probably obvious given that we do cover Gallic sartorial choices on the regular over here. After recently perusing through the Instagram accounts of some of the most stylish Parisian ladies we follow, it became clear that there are a few select shoe choices many are turning to right now to complete their pared-down outfits. Yep, we’re talking about minimalistic sandal silhouettes paired with skirts and T-shirts, of-the-moment sneakers as the finishing touch to a denim look, and so on.

You’d Never Guess These 19 Summer Buys Were From Next
When I was growing up the Next catalogue was a source of great excitement. I would spend hours leafing through the kids’ fashion section and relishing the many outfit possibilities that were presented to me on its colourful pages. In all honesty, I haven’t given the brand much consideration over the last decade, as I often found that the stock in-stores never really spoke to me. Yet, 2020 seems to be challenging my preconceptions of Next, as I’ve spotted a few of their designs on Instagram looking undeniably cool.

This Is the Best-Selling Serum in French Pharmacies
So why do I love the serum? Let me count thy ways. First, the texture: it has a lightweight, milky feel that glides on very easily. It really wakes up my skin instantly, especially when my face looks as tired as I feel. It makes my face look glowy, fresh and more even. Over time, it also helps brighten my post-acne marks, which is what I originally sought out the product for. Be patient with results, though, as the marks won’t fade right away. The serum’s ingredient that helps with dark spots is called viniferine, which is derived from grapes. Last but not least, it basically doubles as a moisturiser for my oily/combination skin. If you have dryer skin, you’ll probably want to add a heavier moisturiser, but I have felt that it’s great on its own for me. Without...
Finally, a Sustainable Fashion Brand That’s Also Affordable
Introduce our readers to your brand. When did you start it, and why? I’m Natasha, and I’m the woman behind Roop, which is also my nickname, I started making the bags last September while I was off work with a bad back (it’s a glamorous story). I was inspired by a shoe strap I saw on Instagram and the beautiful art of furoshiki. Roop is a beautiful mix of everything I love! How has social distancing and stay at home orders affected your business? How have your priorities shifted? I feel guilty saying this, but it kind of made Roop into what it is today. Firstly, it gave me the time to focus on and execute what I wanted to do with the business, and secondly, the rise in support for small businesses put me in front of more people. Lastly, my brand is happy, colourf...
I Just Added Every Product From This Beauty Hall of Fame Capsule to My Wish List
There’s nothing that gives us more glee than all of the best, most sought-after beauty products strategically grouped together to deliver a truly foolproof shopping experience (especially right now when IRL beauty shopping is a thing of the past). As if answering our prayers, Net-a-Porter did just that. Say hello to the retailer’s annual Beauty Hall of Fame—a drool-inducing edit highlighting a crème-de-la-crème assortment of skin, makeup, hair, body and fragrance heroes carefully chosen to represent the brand’s curated vault of beauty must-haves. NAP explains that its Hall of Fame comprises the most trustworthy products that will stand the test of time and satisfy even the nitpickiest and most discerning beauty consumers. ‘There ar...
10 Influencer-Approved Skirts That Might Make You Rethink Your Love of Dresses
While some may say summer is the season of the dress, I personally define myself as a skirt enthusiast. Endlessly versatile, skirts are an item that can be elevated enough for just about any occasion and also dressed down for more casual affairs. As an example, the checked slip skirt I wore to a wedding alongside a slinky silk cami last year is now the same skirt I wear to picnics on weekends alongside a plain white tee and Stan Smith sneakers. To further prove my point that skirts are in fact, an unsung wardrobe hero, I’ve taken the liberty of tracking down a few summery iterations that come with influencer-approval. From buzzy brands like Ganni, Sir and Musier Paris to high-street favourites like H&M and ASOS, this season we’ve seen a plethora of chic skir...
How to Remove Gel Polish at Home Without Ruining Your Nails for Good
Trust us—we know the feeling all too well. You’ve had a gel manicure, your colourful nails look amazing for two to three weeks and you’re on top of the world. But then you notice that they’re catching a little when you wash your hair. Later, while washing up, you spot that the edges are starting to lift. You start inspecting. First, you just pick a tiny corner to try and minimise the damage, but then the high of the peel takes over and 20 minutes later you’re crying into a pile of gel flakes with nails that resemble shredded tissue paper. The truth is, at-home nail upkeep is actually quite tough. Without an expert there to guide you through things step-by-step, it’s all too easy to make a wrong turn, especially when it comes to gels. Nail Expert at OPI, Belinda Price explai...
Seamstresses From Dior and Chanel Launch Tissuni, a Network For Open-Source Design Patterns
Tissuni, which is a French portmanteau for “united fabric,” is a collective of seamstresses from elite fashion houses like Chanel, Dior, and Saint Laurent that is committed to reducing fashion’s waste problem. Founded in March by Chanel seamstress Marie Beatrice Boyer, the movement began by supplying over 3,000 free face masks to essential workers in France. Now, Tissuni is experimenting with open-source design patterns. Boyer was inspired to launch Tissuni in the early days of lockdown in response to global shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE). French hospitals were in desperate need of cloth face coverings in an attempt to preserve critically low supplies of surgical face masks. Since launching Tissuni, the collective has expanded to over 100 members from re...
If You’re Not Into Nail Art, These Minimal Looks Will Change Your Mind
When it comes to my nails, I always play it safe. I have two colourways of choice and I’ve not dabbled in any nail art. Call me boring but I’m a minimalist at heart. However, there’s only so much baking I can do, so in an effort to find a new lockdown hobby, I’ve been dabbling in minimal nail art. I thought I’d start off slow by baby-stepping my way into the world of nail artistry. Not too sure if I should call it artistry at this point, but I tried. I also wanted some new styles to cut out and keep for when I book in for my post-lockdown manicure. Sometimes, it’s best to leave it to the professionals. If you’re like me and have an aversion to wild styles gracing your fingernails, then keep scrolling for all the minimal nail art ins...
I Just Tried 45 Eyeliners—These Are the Ones I’d Actually Recommend
I came, I saw and I conquered the eyeliner battlefield. I even left with some new ones to add to my product rotation. Now, that’s a big feat. I’m a Sagittarius—we like what we like, and when we find something we like, we keep it around. That said, I was pretty sure that I wouldn’t be able to find anything to compete with my beloved Kat Von D. It’s still in my top picks, but it’s now joined by It Cosmetics and Fenty Beauty. A special mention also goes to Surratt, which has become my go-to for when I need to look and feel like an absolute goddess. I tried the rollerball/mini pizza cutter–style eyeliners too, and trust me—they’re more style over substance. They’re a nightmare to fill in, even if they do give you a good flick. So if you’re really...
Princess Diana’s Favourite Shirt Style Is Trending This Summer
A mainstay of the ’80s wardrobe, the ruffle-collar blouse graced many a Princess Di outfit, combining her Sloane Ranger chic with nods to trends of the day. Whether it was with pinstripe trousers or a midi skirt, the royal both demonstrated the versatility of the style and cemented its place in the fashion halls of fame. With 2019’s fascination with covered-up silhouettes, it’s no surprise that the pie crust collar is seeing a resurgence in this year. Fashion folk have been styling theirs with high-waisted jeans and boots for an authentically throwback look. Also, Alexa Chung has long been a fan of the ruffle, and if that’s not a reason to try it, then we don’t know what is. Scroll down to see and shop our favourit...
