These 8 New Colour Trends Are the Key to Looking Rich This Winter
No matter if I find a new purchase in the sales at a pleasingly discounted price, or if I saved up to get the investment piece I’ve had my eye on for a while, I always expect anything I spend my hard earned money on to look (and feel) like a million dollars. It could be a plain white t-shirt or a luxurious cashmere knit, but whether you’ve spent £20 or £200, the results should always be the same–that you feel comfortable and confident in whatever you’re wearing. With that in mind I always shop with a critical eye, thinking about the fabrication and construction of an item, and having picked up a few styling tips on the recurring pieces that look the most expensive, I can spot an investment piece from a mile off, but how can you keep up ...
Hailey and Kendall Both Just Wore the Trending Jacket Set to Rule in 2023
When it comes to spotting new styles, I’ve always been told that one’s a statement, two’s a trend. But when four—yes four—celebrities are spotted in the same jacket? It’s an It item. The buy in question is the Loewe bomber jacket that has been embraced by four fashionable celebrities; Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Lori Harvey and Taylor Russell. In line with the rest of the brand’s creations, the Loewe bomber jacket is unlike any other. It’s injected a playful feel by playing with an exaggerated proportion that makes this coat something of a bomber-puffer hybrid. The cropped length adds to the sculptural shape, and with hands in the pockets the full extent of the fun silhouette is exposed. The style comes in a sleek l...

These Cult Trainers Are Always Sold Out—But We’ve Just Found a Restock
If there’s one pair of sneakers I can’t seem to shake, it’s the New Balance 550s. Throughout the year my saved folder has been brimming with influencers, editors and celebrities wearing them all different ways, showcasing their various colour-ways and collaborations. Notoriously selling out faster than you can say “hypebeast”, these retro-inspired trainers are almost as difficult to get as Glastonbury tickets, and are fetching double their RRP on resale sites.

I Just Bought All My 2023 Capsule Wardrobe Staples In the COS Sale
I don’t know about you, but when one year comes to an end and another begins, I always get the urge to have a wardrobe sort out. New year, more organised me and all that. But it does just seem like the perfect time to take stock of pieces I haven’t worn throughout the year, and identify any gaps that could really do with filling. It also means that once you have an idea of the pieces you’d like to invest in going into the year ahead— a crisp white shirt maybe, or a perfect blazer—you can then bag them in the end-of-year and January sales for less. This is exactly what I just did, specifically in the COS winter sale—and let me tell you, I found so many amazing staples that I wanted for 2023. Of course, we all know how great COS is year-round for those reliable yet elevated w...
It’s Official—These Were the 9 Biggest Hair Trends of 2022
What a year 2022 has been for hair trends. From trending hair colours such as copper and seventies-inspired blonde, to haircuts like the bob and mixie cut, we saw a whole range of hair trends trickle from our feeds into IRL. It’s safe to say we’re pretty excited to see what 2023 hair trends will be in store for us next year. It’s safe to say our hair has come a long way this year. After two years of uncertainty from the pandemic, we all breathed a collective sign of relief once our much-loved hair salons were no longer subjected to lockdowns, and it finally feels as though our hair routine (for the most part) is back to normal. While 2020 was spent trying to make our pre-lockdown cut last as long as possible, 2021 consisted of trying to get our strands figh...
“My Acne Is Gone”: The Acne Products That Actually Work
For me, skincare products are just one piece of the puzzle when treating acne. I’ve tried countless acne treatment products over the years, but I only saw lasting change when I was prescribed spironolactone by my dermatologist to get my hormonal cystic acne under control. That being said, products played—and continue to play—a huge role in keeping my skin balanced while helping to prevent and treat acne. Sure, they’re not miracle workers, but anything that can help a troublesome skin condition certainly helps matters, and building a good skincare routine can go a long way. Especially if you also want to treat the acne scarring that breakouts leave in their wake. Skincare expert Tijion Esho, founder of the Esho Clinic, is a firm advocate of long-term routines when it comes to tr...
Lily Collins Is Wearing Micro Minis and Mega Platforms on Repeat
While a huge swathe of the fashion population has spent the winter season in chunky boots or retro-look sneakers, and with some celebrities already placing bets of the ballet flats comeback for 2023, it’s been left to Lily Collins to continue to fly the flag for high heels. During her recent promo events to highlight the arrival of the third season of Emily in Paris, Collins and her styling duo Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi—a pair known for providing some of the most “wow” ensembles for the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani—have held steadfast in their dedication to ultra-glam looks that would be worthy of Emily’s high octane Parisian wardrobe. And we’re not talking about ordinary high heels here, we mean sky-scrapers. The black patent platfor...

7 New Beauty Trends You’ll Actually Wear in 2023
“Back in the day you found your perfect foundation and stuck to it. You found your perfect eyeshadow palette that made your eyes look great and you stuck to it. It was very much ‘I’ve found my format of what makes me pretty, so I’m just going to stay there.’ It couldn’t be more opposite today. There’s a complete shift where everyone is almost having this explosion of self expression. There are neons and pastels and primary colours and gemstones, and all of these things that have become really big in my personal way of doing makeup in the last few years. I feel next year there’s going to be a further extension of that.” Such belief Baker has in this beauty movement, she co-founded BAKEUP, a brand specifically designed to push the boundaries of experimental beauty and self-expression. “It...
I Just Tried Tons of New Perfumes—These Are the 10 That Stood Out
I love trying new perfumes. Unlike makeup where I tend to stick with what I know, or skincare, where chopping and changing between products is a big no-no, fragrance is a product that affords me complete freedom. My favourite morning ritual is deciding which perfume to wear, and I switch it up each day based on how I’m feeling, what my plans are, and what I’m wearing. Of all the five senses, smell is the one most connected with memory and emotion, so if you’re approaching the new year looking to make changes or about to start something new, then wearing a new fragrance is also a great way to switch things up and acknowledge a new season, phase, or state of mind. Of course, there are plenty of classic scents and bestselling fragrances to choose from, but if you’re search...
Sienna Miller Just Wore the Winter Coat Trend Every Editor Is Buying Into
There are many reasons to love a shearling coat, most notably is their ability to keep us warm. But you know what I love most about them? They tread the line between cosy and cool so well, and depending on the style, you can truly offer so many different looks. Want to keep it casual? You just need jeans and a cashmere knit underneath. Or, to give it a sporty edge, switch your cashmere for a hoodie, jeans for joggers and wear with your favourite sneakers. Keen to elevate it? Pair with a knitted jersey dress and knee-high boots–this brings out its 70s style and is a winning outfit build for those days filled with back-to-back meetings followed by dinner. The way Miller did it however, with leather pants and a pointed boot works in the same vein–it’s cool and ...
