Here’s How to Do Knitwear in Summer, According to Alexa Chung
When it comes to summer clothing, knitwear is not the first thing that springs to mind. Though, if you live in the UK, it probably should be. With unpredictable weather, cooler days and grey skies as regular occurrences even in the summer months, knitwear is generally on high rotation. Luckily, when it comes to knits and cardigans, there are plenty of options around that still manage to feel summer-appropriate, and this week, in particular, Alexa Chung has shown us three versions that are just that. As a part of her latest collection, Alexa has been sporting a few brightly coloured knits lately in vivid shades of green, blue and red. Paired with miniskirts and leather trousers, the knits still manage to feel relevant for the weather right now despit...

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.

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...
