These 7 Colours Are the Key to Looking Richer Than You Are This Winter
It’s a tried-and-trusted colour palette that we know we turn to year after year, as each shade looks good individually but also seamlessly complements the other. We’ve noticed members of the style set also getting on board with the colour combinations, as many of our fashion friends have been posting idyllic images dressed in shades of beige, cream, grey, navy and brown. For those wanting to add a little more colour, orange and a deep shade of burgundy have also been on high rotation. While black is also on the list for this season and never fails to look slick, we’re choosing to prioritise lighter colours. Not only do we know they will see us through the cold months, but they’ll also look just as good once the spring sun star...
Fashion People Have Been Wearing This Knit for 3 Years—It’s Still the One
If not yet iconic, Khaite’s cardigan has certainly proven its status as a timeless classic, which is why we’re only just spotlighting this knit now—because it’s expensive sitting at around £1400. We needed proof that the investment was going to be worth it. As well as standing the test of time and being certain the knit isn’t just a flash-in-the-pan cult piece, there’s also the quality to consider. It is made from the finest Mongolian cashmere, specifically chosen for its softness, according to Net-a-Porter. And we’ve also heard from first-hand reviews that it lasts well with care. A serious investment it might be, but this is undoubtedly a piece you’ll cherish in your wardrobe for a very, very long time. Although stock is hard to track down, I’ve scoured the internet...
28 Pieces From Mulberry at the Top of One Editor’s Holiday Wish List
The holidays are just around the corner, and I couldn’t be more delighted. It feels like the first “normal” festive season in years, and I think this one is going to be special. And whilst I’m a firm avoider of throw-away, novelty presents, the opportunity for forever pieces is always one that excites me. A timeless handbag, a leather wallet and cashmere gloves are pieces made to last, and therefore make top of my wish list, and what I love to purchase for others. For a long time, Mulberry has been the go-to for these very special pieces. The British luxury lifestyle brand is so synonymous with classic accessories that when you see someone sporting a Mulberry handbag, scarf or purse and ask them about it, they’ll often tell you it was originally the...

Charlotte Tilbury’s Most-Wanted Products Are On Sale Right Now—Here’s My Edit
When those Black Friday emails start piling up in your inbox, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer amount of offers and deals out there. Over the past few years my stance has been this: Stick to the brands I know and love, and the products I’ll actually use, instead of getting distracted by ‘too good to be true’ promotions. Of all the Black Friday beauty sales, it has to be said that Charlotte Tilbury’s is not only one of the best but also one of the most anticipated. Not only do I have my tried-and-tested favourites (Flawless Filter, I’m looking at you), but I’m also never disappointed when I try something new. In fact, most people I know, whether they’re beauty obsessed or not, have a go-to favourite product from the iconic brand. Whether it’s the award-winning Ma...
I’m a Beauty Editor, and This Is What I’m Buying in Sephora’s Black Friday Sale
Stop everything because Sephora has already launched Black Friday deals, and we could not be more excited for some savings on our favourite beauty products. Beauty lovers nationwide were delighted at the news that Sephora was launching in the UK last month, and it’s already become one of our favourite places to shop online for beauty. (A store will be coming in London next year, with further store rollouts expected, too, so watch this space!) The retailer is known for its expansive brand offering and beauty deals in the lead-up to the festive season, so it’s safe to say that when we heard that Sephora had launched Black Friday deals already, we got our cards ready.

The “Dated” Product Old Hollywood Loved for Flawless Skin Is Making a Comeback
According to Shari Marchbein, MD, FAAD, the benefits of cold cream vary, but most people use it as a gentle makeup remover that won’t strip the skin thanks to its potent hydration properties. “Moisturising your skin is essential to help keep it hydrated and to help counteract the appearance of fine lines and/or the signs of skin discolouration,” she tells us. “A suitable moisturiser like a cold cream can help prevent dryness, improve tone and texture, and protect the outer layer of the skin. Replenishing skin’s natural moisture balance by moisturising daily is important, as environmental factors such as severe weather and sun can dry your skin and make it look dull.” Another benefit of cold cream? Its versatility! Marchbein explains that pretty much anyo...
I’m Obsessed With Wearing Boots RN, so I Styled 5 Pairs I Want in My Wardrobe
When it comes to boots, I’ll try just about any trend or style at least once. Between chunky Chelsea boots, lace-ups and quilted rain boots, I’ve yet to meet a style I don’t like. Because I’m in the mood to pretty much exclusively wear boots right now and because the rainy, snowy (even muddy!) weather often requires them, I’ve styled five looks around my new favourite pairs from Sperry. No matter what type of weather I’m dressing for on any given day, I can rely on this brand for stylish footwear that will take on the elements. If you’re ready to switch up your go-to cold-weather outfit or simply craving some fresh boot-styling inspo, you’re in the right place.

5 Popular Shoe Trends the Fashion Crowd Are Wearing With Dresses
As a shoe lover, I happen to think that shoes are what really make a dress. Anyone can just throw on a cute dress but how you style it is what really makes or breaks it. We’re in a bit of an anything-goes place in fashion, but that doesn’t mean that certain shoes don’t just look cooler than others with dresses, and the fashion crowd is very much aware of this. I combed through Instagram for some great examples of the shoes I’ve been seeing the fashion crowd wear over and over with all types of dresses this season, and there are some fun ones. You might already own most of these trends but just in case, I found some excellent options for you to shop and pair with your own dresses. (And if you want to shop for expensive-looking dresses as well, Emily Dawes h...
PSA: The Perfect Zara Coat We’ve Been Thinking About All Year Is Back in Stock
I already know what you’re thinking, and yes, this winter is shaping up to be a particularly cold one. I happen to love dressing for cold weather (nothing beats hunkering down and hibernating in cosy layers of cashmere and wool), but when you do inevitably have to leave the house, it can be tricky finding “the one,” that elusive winter coat that looks good and stays warm. Well, that is until now. Zara has got a track record for designing some of the most covetable and expensive-looking pieces on the high street, and although sought-after pieces can sell out as quickly as they land, fortunately for us the best sellers are often reinstated the following year, and one of the biggest hits from last winter is back: the Double-Faced Shor...
6 Trouser-and-Shoe Combinations Every Polished Dresser Uses In Winter
Personally, I don’t know where this year has gone. It seems like just last week we had rounded up our autumn buys, and now our editors are busy compiling gift guides for the Christmas season. As we’re coming to the final months of 2022, I looked back at the most important trends of the year, and none stood out as much as wide-leg trousers. The oversized silhouette has taken hold of the fashion scene. From baggy jeans, to puddle pants, so many micro-trends have resulted from the power of the wide-leg trouser. And with a new year on the horizon, there’s no sign that this trend will be going anywhere. If you’ve already embraced wide-leg trousers into your wardrobe, you’ll understand how versatile they truly are—perfect for wearing to work, evenings out ...
Michelle Obama Wore the Denim Trend Everyone’s Replacing Skinny Jeans With
During Michelle Obama’s eight years as our first lady, we didn’t get to see her in too many casual outfits—she was much likelier to be photographed in sophisticated Jason Wu dresses. In the years since then, I’ve been reveling in seeing her true personal style shine through. I mean, who could forget those Balenciaga sparkly boots? For her latest outfit, she experimented with the denim trend that’s been surging in popularity: baggy, wide-leg cargo jeans, which are pretty much the antithesis of skinny jeans. Obama wore Ganni’s Rinse Denim Fitted Blazer (£295) and Angi Jeans (£215) to an event in Washington, D.C., promoting her new book, The Light We Carry. I realise I might sound like a broken record at this point, b...
