Vick Hope’s Best Looks That are Giving Us Serious Style Inspiration
There’s no doubt that 2023 is set to be a standout year for Vick Hope. As well as her regular BBC Radio 1 show’s, “Going Home with Vick and Jordan” that she co-hosts with Jordan North, “Life Hacks”, and “Official Chart: First Look”, she is hosting the Brit Awards nominations on 12 Jan. in a multi-platform stream across the Brits official channels, alongside Jack Saunders. She is also rumoured to be engaged to DJ Calvin Harris. While her career is going from strength to strength — and her relationship appears to be in a sweet spot, too — she is quickly becoming our poster girl for standout style. We’d singled out the printed Dolce & Gabbana co-ord that she wore to the Chelsea Flower show last summer, and there have been a whole host ...
18 Jaw-Dropping Golden Globes Beauty Looks We Totally Want to Steal
We know the true purpose of award season is to celebrate the best in film and TV, but as beauty editors, we can’t help but think it serves another purpose—that is, providing enough hair and makeup inspiration to last us an entire year. While we’ve already witnessed some stunning looks from the Emmys and the American Music Awards, we consider the Golden Globes to be the real kickoff to award season. After all, it’s the first show of the New Year and, in a sense, the one that dictates the hair and makeup trends for all others that follow. This year’s Golden Globes are a sight to behold since some of the buzziest movies and TV shows are nominated—think The White Lotus, The Crown, Wednesday, Babylon, Elvis, and Top Gun: Maverick… I co...
These Are the Only Golden Globes Red Carpet Looks You Need to See
Tonight’s Golden Globe Awards are significant as the ceremony makes a return to the airwaves and reintroduces a live audience. After the controversy surrounding the Hollywood Foreign Press Association came to a head in 2021, the organisation has been working to combat corruption and make its membership more inclusive and diverse. There’s certainly still work to be done, but Hollywood seems to be somewhat ready to return to the Beverly Hilton to toast to the year’s best films and television programming. Of course, with the return of the Golden Globes comes the return of its red carpet. Thus far, the Golden Globes red carpet has been graced by the likes of Margot Robbie, Selena Gomez, and Anya Taylor-Joy, with more on the way. And true to form, we’ve highlighted the m...
M&S Is Doing This French-Girl Staple Better Than Anyone Else Right Now
While I don’t spend frivolously (my pickiness precedes me and is well-documented in my bi-weekly column), the one item I find hard to resist is striped jumpers. An aspect of their appeal lies in their French roots—Breton stripes aren’t as cliché as you might think; in Paris, they’re favoured by many impeccable dressers. They’re also incredibly versatile and can be thrown on with just about piece and print. Stick to monochrome palettes, and they practically come with a lifetime style guarantee, one that you can match with any other colour. This brings me to my point: Marks & Spencer, which is tempting me with its edit of excellent striped jumpers right now. Scrolling its new arrivals category this morning, the sheer volume of striped jumpers on offer was staggeri...
If a Fashion Person Is Wearing Skinny Jeans in 2023, It’s With These 4 Basics
Baggy, straight-leg, and flared jeans continue to be denim front-runners for fashion people. While these more relaxed silhouettes will certainly hold strong throughout 2023, skinny jeans could easily be considered a “classic” choice despite their somewhat polarising nature. So yes, style-setters will also turn to this cut—especially with the rise of the skinny-trouser trend on the spring 2023 runways. After scrolling through the accounts of some of our favourite fashion follows, it became quite clear that there are a few specific elevated basics the fashion crowd will wear with their skinny jeans to create chic looks. Although, just about anything pairs flawlessly with them given the classic nature of the cut. Keep scrolling to check out the trend-forward basic...
We Asked the Experts—These Are the Interior Trends to Get Behind This Year
I’ve sought insight from a handful of experts to find out the interior trends for 2023 that really matter. Although each hails from different remits of the world of interiors, they share an overall outlook and consensus. “I think that much of the design trends for 2023 will be based on longevity and function, focussed less on ‘what’s in’ and more on ‘what’s right for my family and my home, with lots of people looking to nature, the environmental impact of design, and the mood and atmosphere their decisions create,” says interior designer and expert Toby Perryman-Payne. The trends highlighted undoubtedly have staying power; our desire to host with pride after being denied the opportunity to do so over the past few years co...
I Asked Over 2000 Women Where to Buy the Best White Shirts—They Love These 16
The term “effortlessly chic” gets thrown around a lot in fashion. In reality, these two words are rarely applicable. What about when it comes to the white shirt? Absolutely. No matter what sort of budget you have or your sense of style, the white shirt is the ultimate wardrobe staple. Is there anything else so simple yet so chic? It’s so easy to wear on the weekend and while working from home. It’s perfect for a night out (when we have them) but also a night in watching Netflix. It’s the ultimate classic to have in one’s arsenal, and whether it’s oversized or fitted, linen or poplin, there are endless ways this classic piece appeals and can be rendered.

I Live in Leggings—7 Fresh Ways I’m Wearing Them This Year
Let’s admit it—we’ve probably spent the majority of our December in clothes that have not only kept us warm, but that likely also have featured an elasticated waistband. If not that, then we’ve been dipping our toe in the other end of the wardrobe spectrum by opting for sequins, sparkle, and embellishment. And whichever camp you’ve fallen in over the last few weeks (maybe it’s a healthy mix of both?), there’s probably only one thing on your mind when it comes to January dressing, and that’s comfort. But what if we told you there’s a way to be both comfortable and chic at the same time? Like florals for spring, but even more groundbreaking? A miraculous thought! Enter leggings. Long gone are the day...
I Tried Hailey Bieber’s Contouring Hack and My Face Has Never Looked So Sculpted
If there is one place that’s filled to the brim with makeup hacks, it’s TikTok. If you’re a beauty lover like I am, your For You page may well be dominated by viral beauty products and makeup tips—some of which are more successful than others when it comes to translating them into real life. So when I heard that celebrity makeup artist Mary Phillips (who does the makeup for Hailey Bieber, Jennifer Lopez and Kendall Jenner) had a hack for effortlessly blended contouring that was blowing up on the social platform, I knew I had to try it out for myself. Because who doesn’t want to look as sculpted as Hailey Bieber? You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

Trust Us—These 7 Well-Being Tips Are Guaranteed Mood Boosters
As for myself, I always find the winter months a challenge, and I’m prone to feeling low when the sun disappears by 4pm—not to mention trying to wake up on dark mornings! I find I always wake up feeling groggy around this time of the year. Last year, I took the plunge and invested in a Lumi alarm clock, and it’s totally changed the game for how I start my day. If you’re not familiar with Lumi, it’s an alarm clock that mimics a sunrise to wake you up gradually. Rather than waking up to the shrill sound of my iPhone alarm, I now wake up to the gentle glow of the light, which gradually illuminates half an hour from when you want to wake up. I’m a heavy sleeper, so I’m reassured that you can also set it to make a noise during the alarm, but more often than not, I’ll wake up before my alarm chi...
I Created 5 Outfits For Every Conceivable Occasion With This Blazer–Here’s How

But there’s one type of jacket I always go back to, and that’s the humble blazer. Dress it up, style it down, a well-fitted classic black blazer is a timeless staple that belongs in every wardrobe.
