I Had Adult Cradle Cap—Here’s How I Got My Scalp Back to Normal
Moving away from constantly styling my hair, opting for lower-tension hairstyles and no longer following practices like oiling my scalp, which, according to trichologist Ebuni Ajiduah, “can also contribute to skin conditions and make scalp symptoms much worse,” were hard adjustments despite the fact they inevitably helped get my scalp back to normal. According to Ajiduah, “the body works by continually monitoring its environment and adjusting its response, so when we grease or oil our scalp, effectively we are telling the sebaceous glands to kick back, and we will handle it. That would be okay if we didn’t have a whole system designed to do it already, and the products we used matched the natural secretion and were not harmful. The products I list...
I Love a Chic Black Dress—These Are the 25 I Really Rate
Much like a pair of jeans, or a crisp shirt, a black dress is a fashion piece that keeps on giving. It’s become the hero garment for transitional dressing and both luxury and high street brands are forever in a bid to create the perfect black dress, to withstand the change of seasons. The classic LBD cemented its place as a fashion staple many moons ago. Although the origin of the LBD is ascribed to eveningwear, the versatility of a black dress is something that’s been carried throughout the decades. Now, black dresses—little or oversized, short or long—are a staple. The current offerings are aplenty, so you’ll most definitely find something in keeping with your taste.

7 Surprisingly Ineffective Skincare Products You’ve Been Wasting Your Money On
With thousands of skincare products to choose from (and more and more launching every day), it can become surprisingly easy to loose track of what your skin really needs as you get sucked into buying the latest trending ingredient or viral product. Of course, testing and trying new products is part of the fun of beauty, and at the end of the day, what works for you works for you, regardless of what other people think of it. But there comes a point when experimenting with skincare can become overwhelming, especially if you’re the type of person who wants to address their skin concerns and goals as quickly and effectively as possible. In recent years, we’ve seen the skincare industry boom. Fuelled by social media trends, it’s been hard to ignore the influx of new products, ingredie...

I’m Giving the People What They Want—10 Simple Outfits That Are Beyond Easy
So little time, so much to do. And that doesn’t even take into account the time and effort it takes to put together an above-average outfit. Gone are the days of school uniforms and laying out your clothes the night before.

Princess Kate’s Designer It Bag Is Shockingly Still in Stock
The Prince and Princess of Wales are on the move. Last week they left Kensington Palace and headed to Liverpool, where they met with healthcare workers at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital. Kate Middleton wore a polished outfit consisting of a checked Holland Cooper coat, navy Cefinn dress, and coordinating Gianvito Rossi shoes, but I immediately zeroed in on her pretty bag. The princess carried Mulberry’s Small Amberley Leather Shoulder Bag (£850), which is surprisingly still in stock at John Lewis & Partners right now. It’s a favourite of Middleton’s, and given her tendency to clear out stock, I would have assumed royal fans would be lining up to purchase it. The price tag is certainly...

It’s Official: These Are the Only 10 Dress Trends That Matter This Year
The past year may have been all about the trouser, but I believe dresses are still the most reliable wardrobe mainstay around. They can take you from working week to weekend fun and be styled in a multitude of ways for myriad occasions. After all, it’s not like you could repurpose your jeans for a wedding guest outfit, but you can absolutely alter the aesthetic of a dress with the addition of a belt or the switch of a shoe. Photo: Courtesy of Jonathan Simkhai The reason I always look forward to the start of a new season is the prospect of unearthing the trends that await for it. I’ve already begun charting the need-to-know jewellery, boots and jeans for the year ahead; now, it’s time to turn our attention to the overarching dress trends of 2023. I...
Our Editors All Agree–This Bestselling COS Coat is A Cold-Weather Lifesaver
In December I spent my time perfecting a low-maintenance, highly-comfortable winter outfit, and settled on a wool coat, a fluffy knit, jeans, and ankle boots, and I’ve been wearing this (plus couple of variations on the formula) for the last 6 weeks. So, you can imagine my surprise as I stepped out of the house in my regular uniform this week only to have to retreat back indoors thanks to the cold. Did we have any warning that a cold snap was about to set in? That there would be winds so cold that my hands and face would be immediately numb? Perhaps I missed it. But the last couple of weeks have been a strong reminder that winter isn’t done with us yet, and unfortunately for me, my usual tailored coat just isn’t cutting it. O...
“Emily in Paris”‘s Lucien Laviscount Rocks a Pleated Skirt at Louis Vuitton Show
Every street’s a catwalk in Paris, and no-one knows this better than Lucien Laviscount. The “Emily in Paris” star is known for his dapper wardrobe playing Alfie in the hit Netflix show, but the actor has proven his style prowess away from his character as he attended the Louis Vuitton autumn / winter menswear show at Paris Fashion Week on 19 Jan. Styled by Danyul Brown, Laviscount arrived at the show wearing a look straight from Louis Vuitton’s spring / summer catwalk. He teamed the sky blue short-sleeved jumper, complete with cartoon logo, with a blue pleated skirt with asymmetric hem worn over zip fronted wide-leg trousers in the same fabric and colour. He added green trainers, chain bracelet, and a single drop earring, as Laviscount leaned into the gender-inclusi...
These Are the 2023 Trends I’ll Be Wearing With Jeans
As the first month of the year draws to a close, SS23’s most-talked-about catwalk looks have been distilled down and our Instagram feeds are now filled with snapshots of these trends in action. Whether it’s a ’90s-style blazer or a lime green handbag, there are signs of 2023 everywhere you look. While social media makes even the most out-there fashion feel more attainable, I still sometimes struggle to incorporate trending looks into my own wardrobe. And I think I’ve figured out why: if it doesn’t work with jeans, it’s probably not for me. I wear denim 90% of the time, treating it as a foundation from which to build all my outfits. So, if something jars when styled with jeans, I have to put a whole lot more effort into ...
I Just Scrolled Through So Many Petite Winter Buys—These 26 Were the Very Best
Getting dressed in the morning is hard enough in winter, even without being petite. It’s often still dark when we stand in front of our wardrobes searching for something to wear, we never know if it’s going to be freezing outside or oddly mild. Now add to that the stress of being shorter than 5’3” in a world where most clothes are designed for 6-foot, size-8 models… It’s tough, okay! As a petite fashion editor, having to search that little bit harder for outfits that work (and make friends with my local tailor) is something I’ve learnt to tackle my whole adult life. By now, though, I think I’ve managed to crack the code of where to find the best pieces that work for us shorter people. Yes, I still struggle sometimes trying to re-create street style looks or lust after a desi...
