Like mother like daughter.
Airport friendly? No. Wildly chic? 1000%.
In my 12 years spent working in the fashion industry, I’ve seen a monumental shift in the way in which trends are talked about. From Instagram’s formative years, when some considered it taboo to wear the same outfit twice on their grid (what was all that about?) to the new-season looks from the runway that would be replicated on the market almost overnight, the stance was very clear; new = good. Thankfully, things have come a long way in that time, and now everyone, from editors to buyers to consumers, has shifted their focus to longevity. Every purchase we make, be it high-end or affordable, should be done so with consideration; does said purchase speak to my personal taste? Do I already own something like this? Will it go with the pieces I own? These are just some o...
While the general vibe for makeup trends this year feels minimal and natural, 2023 is set to be the year where nail art well and truly steals the spotlight when it comes to creativity and experimentation within the beauty space. From new takes on classics like the French manicure through to 3D effects and chrome textures and accents, the best nail art trends for 2023 prove that a fresh mani really is the ultimate accessory. One thing is for certain; 2023 is going to be full of surprises. “Nail art is such a fun method of self-expression but trends move fast these days,” says Millie Horton, nail artist and founder of Doll Parts. “I think the vibe for nail art this year is reimagining the classics and putting your own spin on trending designs. It’s much more fun creating whatever y...
It should be fairly easy, but for some reason, I have always struggled with the search for the perfect spring dress. It always feels like no matter where I look, everything is either too plain, too frilly, or too floral for my liking. Well, this spring I’ve been paying close attention to what the world has to offer me in terms of the perfect dress, and with my taste and yours in mind, I curated a wide selection of spring dresses that caught my attention. The frocks below feature everything from this season’s latest trends such as “tacky” florals to those simple midi dresses you’ll wear over and over again throughout spring and summer combined. Whether your style is minimal or quite eclectic, I have a feeling you’ll find your perfect spring dre...
Type “French style” in your Google search bar and a plethora of images will surface that feature simple outfits like jeans and blazers and ballet flats. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with this, it just doesn’t reflect the reality of what French style really is. Despite the stereotype of strictly classic silhouettes, French women are just as tuned in to current trends as American women. The difference I’ve noticed is that they’re much pickier when it comes to the new styles they’ll actually wear since French women place such a high value on timelessness. To investigate the winter 2023 trends that are passing their tests, I asked five stylish Parisians about the one trend that’s entered their closets ...
Often, the most versatile items in our wardrobes are obvious to us. Blue jeans? No brainer. White tee? A ride-or-die staple. But some less-talked-about pieces ooze quiet confidence, sneaking into countless everyday outfits without us even noticing. I’m thinking of one item in particular: The humble black skirt. I realised recently that when I’m not wearing jeans or loosely tailored trousers, this is what I reach for to build my outfits from. And the true beauty of the black skirt is that it comes in myriad forms. From slinky satin iterations to leather minis, there’s a skirt for every occasion. While trends might dictate which one you choose on a particular day (right now, I’m searching for the perfect pleated maxi—the H&M ...
@ritaora What happens when a dream just feels oh so very real? 💒 #YouOnlyLoveMe is out on FRIDAY! Pre-save link in my bio #fyp #newmusic ♬ You Only Love Me – Rita Ora Rumours of Rita Ora’s wedding to Taika Waititi have been circulating since last summer. While Ora has never explicitly spoken of her nuptials, E! News confirmed the news on 9 Aug. although details of the wedding have been scarce . . . until now. Sort of. “The Masked Singer” judge has teased clips of her upcoming single, “You Know You Love Me” released on Friday, 27 Jan., and she is wearing a vintage wedding dress. While there’s been no official confirmation as to whether the design was similar to the one Ora may have chosen, we can use it as a base for our wedding imagination....
