My Whole Vibe Right Now is “Autumn in New York”
If you’ve ever watched the film, You’ve Got Mail (or you’ve visited the Big Apple around this time of year before) you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about when I saw that New York in autumn is a whole vibe. If you haven’t, and you’re not familiar with the iconic opening montage of Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks walking the Manhattan streets to a soundtrack of The Cranberries, you should probably stop reading and immediately watch it. The leaves turning orange in Central Park, the smell of the first cold morning, pumpkins on brownstone steps and a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils (just watch the film, okay?) But it’s really the New York autumn outfits we’re here to talk about today. After a sticky summer in the city, there’s something refreshing about autumn that brings the best out...

The 25 Best Classic Jumpers For Autumn, Hands Down
I’ve always wholeheartedly believed that I’m a summer person through and through. That is, however, until every autumn when I remember how much joy great knitwear and a new coat bring me. And while I’ll always be a sucker for the sunshine, I can’t help but have my head turned by all the cosy newness out there right now. It turns out, I’m actually a bit of a knitwear obsessive after all, a fact which has been cemented by the realisation that I currently own five monochrome striped knits, in slightly different variations, that I wear on rotation and love. And although I have quite a few sweaters, as I’ve got older, I now tend to always choose quality over quantity to ensure my knitwear lasts. This doesn’t mean they have to be super exp...

I’ve Tried 100s of Eyeshadows—These Are The Best 15 For Brown Eyes
Because of this versatility, I now have a rainbow of colours in my eyeshadow collection. And while I experiment a lot, there are a few hues that I always come back to, all of which fall into the metallic, shimmery spectrum. And Adenuga agrees, with metallic browns and bronze colours being the shades she reaches for most in her kit bag when working with brown-eyed beauties. But if you fancy something different and want a fun, bright-eyed look both Adenuga and beauty guru Huda Kattan state that purples and blues are the standout shades. “Jewel-toned shadow shades like purple and blue are the absolute best undertones to bring out the best in brown eyes. They complement and enhance brown eyes beautifully!” says Kattan. All this info, and experience, means I f...

M&S Does the Very Best Jumpers, and These 22 Prove It
Now it’s pretty much November, temperatures are no doubt going to start plummeting. But the upside to this is that we get to wrap ourselves up in fabulous knitwear for the foreseeable. Brits have long relied on M&S for its excellent knitwear selection and this year, it’s better than ever, with plenty of beautiful jumpers and cardigans to choose from. M&S is particularly known for its cashmere crew-necks and roll-necks, and it’s added some amazing colours to its classic arsenal, including bright tangerine, ombre styles and hot pink. When it comes to classic knitwear styles, you really can’t beat a chunky cable-knit jumper. Or, if you’re looking for a statement piece, something slightly festive or just a simple jumper you can rely on every day,...
I’ve Found 26 Anti-Trend Wedding Dresses for Classic Brides
Every dress purchase deserves careful consideration, but none to the same degree as your wedding dress. You’ll wear it for just one day (unless you plan to rework it later on), yet it will probably be the most photographed item you ever wear. And if 1980s brides and their taffeta popcorn-sleeve dresses have taught us anything, it’s that some trends can wind up feeling a little outdated. There’s something to be said for embracing the trends of an era, and you might enjoy looking back with fondness for fashion gone by. But if you’re fearful of one day cringing at the dress in your wedding pictures, stick to a classic design. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a d...
This Lightweight Base Is a Best Seller in the U.S.—Here’s My Honest Review
Second, let’s address the shade offering. With a very impressive 30 shades, it’s safe to say that Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint is one of the more shade-diverse skin tints out there. While other brands opt for a more restricted, “stretchable,” shade offering, Ilia’s plentiful shade offering rivals some top foundation brands. However (and sadly there is a however), it’s worth noting that Sephora’s current shade offering is limited, with 17 of the 30 shades unavailable—and one of my beauty-editor pals struggled to find a shade that works for her olive skin tone. “I couldn’t find a shade in Sephora at all. There’s quite a big jump between each one in the olive-mid brown section,” she said. It’s also worth...
Millie Bobby Brown Unveils Sweet New Ribcage Tattoo in Plunging Backless Gown
Millie Bobby Brown stepped out in a gorgeous plunging gown for the premiere of “Enola Holmes 2” on 27 Oct. in New York City. Wearing an ethereal pink bespoke dress by Louis Vuitton, the 18-year-old actor oozed elegance as she posed with cast members including Henry Cavill, as well as her biggest fan: her boyfriend, Jake Bongiovi. The “Stranger Things” star opted for the bubblegum pink gown, as advised by her stylist Thomas Carter Phillips, which was littered with pewter floral and butterfly appliqué details. The plunging halterneck meant the dress was left backless, complete with a seam around the waist before the flowing fabric fell to the floor. She teamed the look with white platform sandals and multiple diamond hoop earrings. Her hair was given a middle parting ...
Dua Lipa Gives Wednesday Addams Halloween Costume an Edgy Update in Cutout Shirt
Dua Lipa has been giving a style masterclass in how to do Halloween in the chicest way. The “Potion” singer added a carousel of snaps to her Instagram on 27 Oct. in an outfit that channels the spooky season icon, Wednesday Addams. In typical Lipa form, she is not one to copy a look entirely, but instead chose to bring her individual style to the monochrome outfit that is decidedly more edgy than the usual Addams attire. Captioning the post, “exploring Naoshima 🌙”, Lipa opted for the Halloween-inspired look during her trip to Japan. Wearing a black oversized, single-breasted blazer, with no top underneath, the plunging collar added a risqué layer to the outfit. In a nod to Wednesday Addams, of which the new Netflix series “Wednesday” is based, she...
The Grungy New Boot Trend That Was Everywhere During Fashion Month
If you thought Miu Miu’s ballet flats were good, just wait until you see the brand’s grungy new boots that everyone during Paris Fashion Week was breaking in between shows. Also from Miu Miu’s much-talked-about A/W 22 collection, the engineer-style boots are the complete and utter opposite of the dainty, pretty flats that hit viral status immediately following last season’s show in February. Made of thick, distressed leather (classic engineer boots are known for this since the material is so durable) and adorned with an array of metal harnesses and buckles, Miu Miu’s boots are quickly becoming fashion’s next It item. But Prada’s little-sister brand isn’t the only one getting in on this trend. On the contrary...
