These New £40 H&M Flats Are as Chic as the £720 Designer Pair I Want
If you’re like me, I’m sure you agree that the best shoe trends are flat shoe trends. They’re certainly the ones I wear the most, as someone who works from home full time. As you can imagine, the fact that one of the biggest shoe trends of the season is a flat one is very exciting to me, and that trend is ballet flats. I quickly jumped on the satin Miu Miu Ballerinas trend a few months ago and now I can’t stop thinking of a £720 Prada pair that came out before the holidays (and is now almost sold out). I know—£720 is a lot of money no matter how you look at it, and since my size in the Prada pair is sold out anyway, you can imagine my excitement when I came across another classic pair of ballet flats on H&M today. Like the Prada pair, they’re mad...

I Just Spent Hours Searching for Stylish Workout Clothes—This Is What Stood Out
Hands up if you find yourself setting a new gym goal every January (and this time, really meaning it), only to cancel your membership within a few short months. Raise your other hand if you’re determined to break this cycle in 2023. Same—and you can hold me to that. And although we firmly believe that a new year doesn’t need new resolutions, a new you or new hobbies, there are some habits I would like to improve on this year. When it comes to working out, I’ll take motivation wherever I can find it, even if it’s in the stream of stylish activewear that starts hitting the new-in pages within moments of the clock striking midnight. It might sound silly, but I’m convinced that cute workout gear takes a little of the sting out of those ab...

Aside from my gym attire, leggings are one item I usually steer clear of. Most days, you’ll find me wearing some sort of printed midi dress.

Honestly? These 6 Trends Feel a Little Dated, According to Our Editors
In the world of fashion, the term “dated” is thrown around pretty haphazardly and doesn’t hold quite the same impact as it does in other aspects of our lives. Out with, it’s considered pretty negative and is often used to sum up tired traditions and points of view. However, in fashion, it’s more a quiet observation. Trends go in and out of style at such a rapid rate, you could argue that everything, even things considered to be wardrobe staples, goes through a phase where it feels a little “dated” in comparison. Looking at my own clothing collection, many of my most-cherished pieces might be considered “dated” right now, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop wearing them; to be honest, who could o...
Margot Robbie’s Backless Caped Gown Deserves to Be Seen From Every Angle
Just two days after walking the red carpet at the 2023 Golden Globes in Los Angeles, Margot Robbie jetted in for the London premiere of her new movie, Babylon. She traded her Barbie-pink Chanel dress in California for a dramatic red caped Valentino gown in the British capital and it deserves to be seen from every angle. Robbie’s tent dress is certainly a new silhouette for her and I’m absolutely here for it. When she turned around, she revealed the beautiful backless design—the definition of a head-turner. Oh, and Brad Pitt was also there looking incredibly dapper. Scroll down to see Margot Robbie’s dramatic red cape at the London premiere of Babylon.

Katie Holmes Just Wore this Major 2023 Shoe Trend With Wide-Leg Trousers
If there’s one celebrity we always look out for, it’s Katie Holmes. Ever since that bra-and-cardigan moment back in 2019 that we’re still coveting today, we’ve followed her style journey, and her two recent looks are seriously noteworthy. Katie has clearly figured out her signature style and more often than not that includes wide-leg trousers. Whether styling for the airport, an evening out, or a simple off-duty look, more often than not wide-leg trousers are included. As someone who adores this style, I’m always intrigued by new styling ideas for this silhouette, which really took over last year. And as a true style setter, Katie Holmes paired her wide leg trousers with one of the major trends of 2023: metallic shoes. ...
Margot Robbie’s Red Gown Is Formal at the Front and a Party at the Back
Margot Robbie is not here to play this red carpet season. Fresh from the Golden Globes, where she wore a pink halterneck Chanel dress, the actor pulled out all the stops for the London premiere of “Babylon“. Wearing a dramatic red Valentino gown that flowed effortlessly to the floor, Robbie paired the bold dress with a sweep of red lipstick that oozed Hollywood glamour. The gown was not only beautiful from the front, with its soft pleating and floaty silhouette, but when Robbie turned around, it was clear the ensemble featured halterneck detail to reveal the scooped backless design. Styled by Kate Young, Robbie’s red hot look was straight from the spring / summer 2023 Valentino runway. Accessories were kept to a minimum to let the dress work its magic. It wasn’t jus...
I Wore a Different Perfume Every Day for a Month—These 8 Earned Me Compliments
Growing up, the bottles of body sprays, lotions, butters and eau de toilettes that lined my bathroom vanity were far sweeter than a desert-filled episode of The Great British Bake Off. My rotation typically included Britney Spears’s Fantasy (or Curious); a pure-sugar scent that, not surprisingly, was called Pink Sugar; and anything else my collection of glossy magazines was advertising. If it smelled like a frosted cupcake with sprinkles, I was—without a doubt—wearing it. I’ll always love unapologetically sweet scents, but now my tastes have graduated to fragrance blends that are warm and woody or grounded with spices, leathers or classic florals. That said, signature sweet notes like vanilla are often at the heart of...
It’s Official—These Are the 7 Hair Colours You’ll Be Seeing Everywhere in 2023
Petty predicts that we’ll see more of people mixing their natural hair colours with bright shades. “Gemini hair is a fun two-tone style,” she says. “Inspired by its astrological namesake, this will make you stand out from the crowd and allow you to express your personality.” For dark hair, Petty recommends using pinks, purples, greens, and blues, and for light hair she suggests blues, greens, reds, yellows, and black. “If you are concerned about your hair coping with a colour treatment, opt for more natural colour choices that will cause less damage and are easier to maintain,” she advises. “To maintain the colour, try to wash your hair less frequently, use a heat protectant when styling, and use plenty of hair masks to moisturise and nourish your hair.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When...
