I’m a Beauty Editor—These Are the Devices I Invest In for Incredible Skin
My first introduction to the brand was via Foreo’s facial cleansing brush (known as the Luna), and I have to admit, I was sceptical as to just how good an at-home device could be. Needless to say, four years have passed and it’s been a staple in my daily skincare routine ever since. As someone who is acne-prone and experiences concerns like enlarged pores and deep-rooted congestion, cleansing efficiently has always been a main focus of my skincare routine. However, cleansers themselves can only do so much, so incorporating the Foreo Luna into my cleansing routine was a major upgrade. In fact, Foreo’s newest version of the Luna is clinically proven to remove 99% of dirt, oil, and makeup residue, which is a lot more than hands alone can achieve. Made from super-soft silicone and powered...
Kim Kardashian Just Bought a Pendant Worn and Loved by Princess Diana
It’s not every day that you liken Kim Kardashian‘s style to that of Princess Diana, but it seems the two have something in common. On 18 Feb. esteemed auction house, Sotheby’s London, confirmed that the Attallah Cross, a “unique piece of jewellery” favoured by the late Princess of Wales, was sold for £163,800 to the reality star and Skims founder. Four bidders were competing for the amethyst cross before a representative for Kardashian bid more than double its pre-auction price in the final five minutes of the Royal and Noble Sale. The aristocratic jewellery in question was said to have been a favourite of Diana’s, worn on a number of occasions. She was also photographed wearing the piece with a Catherine Walker dress in October 1987 when she atteneded a...
6 New Trends French Girls Deem Essential for 2023
We often talk about how the French aesthetic is heavily built on wardrobe classics; never-date pieces that make getting dressed a simplified process. While this applies to many a French dresser, I have noticed that, for 2023, that a series of bolder French fashion trends are coming through. Witnessed on the streets of Paris this month, French women seem to be tapping into a slew of runway trends this season. From the It jacket that cropped up at Dion Lee and Chloé to the skirt style with deep ’90s minimalist roots, Gallic girls are interpreting the latest trends in their own unique way, styling them with more pared-back piecing, and giving the rest of us major outfit inspiration in the process. So, which 2023 trends are French women prioritis...
Hailey Bieber Swapped Her Ankle Boots for the Trend That’s All Over Zara and M&S
Patent footwear is a trend that’s slowly gaining momentum. I’ve had my eye on a pair Saint Laurent slingbacks in a high-shine finish for months now but, prior to that, the fabrication had completely fallen off my radar. Of course, there was a buzz surrounding vinyl coats not all that long ago, but shoes? They generally hadn’t been given the glossy treatment in years. Now, however, I expect that all to change after Hailey Bieber stepped out in a sleek knee-high patent boot this week. Turns out, I’m not the only one who’s into Saint Laurent’s current aesthetic, as Bieber’s coat, purse and boots all come from the French fashion house. My favourite component of her outfit, however, is her patent-boot and sheer-tight pairing, which f...

I’m a Bit of a Minimalist—These Are the 11 Chic Brands I’m Into
The value of functionality in fashion has never been more prevalent as we’re in a diligent era, where people value easy-to-wear uniforms without needing to sacrifice comfort or style. Contemporary brands continue to amass cult followings and customers are optimistic about making these fashion investments.

With an amalgamation of billowy dresses comprising silk and crisp organic fibres, there are pieces to appease every texture profile and taste. &...
These Stick-On False Nails Are So Good They Rival a Salon Manicure
Thankfully, stick-on nails are having a moment, which means there’s been serious innovation in the products on offer—and there’s also a lot more choice out there. This new generation of press-ons goes beyond the basic plain colour offerings I remember experimenting with in the past. They offer fun and colourful designs, a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and even the glue quality has improved, too. “Nail art boomed during the pandemic and the stick-on nail category has majorly grown and innovated since then,” says nail artist Ashleigh Bamber. “It’s a great way to wear cute nail art designs without actually having to do any of the hard work or wait for a salon appointment.” That said, while stick-on nails are convenient, long-lasting, and affordable, they can still cause damage if not appl...
I Did a Makeup Bag Cleanout, and These 13 Products Are Getting the Boot
Whenever people ask me what beauty products I’m into, I’m always caught off guard. I know it’s kind of ridiculous considering I’m a beauty editor and all, but it’s only because I’m going through the many mountains of products I test in my head. There are so many products I like, but thinking about what I don’t like is the best way for me to narrow down my options. Before I start this potentially controversial list, I want to point out that beauty is subjective, and a product that might give me The Ick could be someone’s holy grail. We all have different skin types, makeup preferences, and so on, so I am not judging, and vice versa, I hope! You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

I’m Fussy About Workout Clothes, But These 9 Legging-and-Top Sets Are Great
I’m not sure exactly when my love of activewear began. It could’ve been when I first started taking my dance training more seriously or maybe it was post-covid during which activewear became my daily uniform, with nowhere else other than the supermarket or the park to go for our daily outings. Either way, I now have an overflowing drawer of activewear and I can firmly say that is one of the most worn and loved sartorial categories. That said, there are also many pieces I bought early on that didn’t live up to their waist-cinching, hip-holding and butt-lifting expectations or that simply didn’t wear well. Not great for me, but great news for you as I have now tried and tested pretty much all of the most well-known sportswear brands an...
We Already Know These 11 Shoe Trends Will Be Huge This Year
If you ask me, there’s no easier way to dip your toe into a trend than with a pair of shoes (I promise that pun was a happy accident). After all, what else can completely change the tone of your outfit quite like well-chosen footwear? Therein lies their appeal. Jeans can be made fancier, cocktail dresses scaled back, winter wares made summer-worthy, and vice versa. As such, it not only makes sense to stay ahead of the shoe trends for 2023, but if you’re the fashion enthusiast I expect you are, I’m sure you’ll get a kick out of reading about them, too. So, without further ado, scroll on to see the 11 shoe trends for 2023 that are destined to take over. How do I know this? From the runways, of course!

Kaia Gerber Just Wore My Favourite Leggings-and-Fleece Outfit 3 Times in a Week
One item in particular I’ve been wearing (yes, on repeat) with my trusty Girlfriend Collectives and lululemons this winter is the Free People Hit the Slopes fleece. Honestly, I’m not really sure what I wore before I discovered the cosy jumper at the end of last year (when my fellow Who What Wear editors recommended it to me). And with January serving mostly miserable grey days so far, this easy but acceptable-for-errands outfit has become my morning go to. You can imagine my delight, then, when on a recent celebrity image deep dive I discovered supermodel Kaia Gerber in none other than this exact outfit (let’s not talk about who wore it better, shall we?) Not only did Kaia forgo her usual top-to-toe Celine wardrobe for the Free People Hit the Slopes Fleece (in the...
