6 Items Every London Girl Has in Her Autumn Wardrobe
We Brits are well accustomed to cooler climes, so we don’t consider it bragging when we say we’re experts at dressing for autumn.

However, before you get ahead of yourself, we suggest making the most of this in-between period. We consulted with some of our favourite influencers to bring you an edit of the nine pieces every woman really needs to kick-start her autumn wardrobe.

We Looked Through 100s of H&M Dresses to Find the 31 Best
There are a few high-street stores I rely on all year round, but this autumn, I keep coming back to H&M. My wish list is pretty varied, from its staple tailored trousers to affordable knitwear, but it’s the dress category that has really caught my eye. And with so many autumn additions dropping in, now seems like as good a time as any to delve into the array of stylish dresses H&M has to offer. To be honest, we would do anything for a great dress, so searching through hundreds to find the best ones is very on-brand for us. And as cost per wear is important, we’ve made sure these expensive-looking styles that’ll go the distance. Not only does H&M have standout styles for this season and beyond, but with sizes ranging from XS to 4XL, th...
Selena Gomez Just Wore the Mango Coat You’ll Never Regret Buying
Should you be looking for the perfect new winter coat (who isn’t?), consider this a sign. Selena Gomez has just been pictured in a Mango oat so covetable that it ticks all of our boxes. Affordable? It’s on the pricer end of high street, but still the fraction of the cost of a designer coat, especially for wool. Practical? Of course—not only is it a heavy-duty wool coat, but it’s from the brand’s premium range too, meaning the best possible construction. And timeless? Absolutely, masculine tailoring might be a key trend that we’re heavily buying into right now but it’s still a classic silhouette that never ages. All good signs that we’re looking at the next big It coat. This Mango tailored wool coat is the latest in a very&...
I’m a Seasoned Shopper, but Even I Was Wowed By These 8 Luxury Autumn Buys
Calling myself a “shopping expert” is not something I take lightly, and believe me when I say, there is a lot of leg-work involved. Fortunately for me, I happen to love spending hours in the shops looking for the kind of hidden gems that I know you’ll love, and if you’re in rush and want to know where to find the best pieces on the market right now, allow to me to share with you some of the best new-in pieces to land this month. And trust me–there are some good ones. While I am a fully fledged high street devotee, it’s always exciting to look through the latest luxury collections and be able to shop designer pieces straight from the runway. So this week I headed into MATCHESFASHION, Browns, Selfridges and Liberty to scour th...

Autumn Perfumes Are My Entire Personality—These 15 Get Me The Most Compliments
If there is a beauty topic that I could talk about all day long, it’s autumn perfumes. During this time of the year, I feel like fragrance really shifts with the change in seasons. As we wave away to our summer scents, autumn is the time to welcome in warming, cosy and musky base notes. There’s something quite emotive about it. Whether we’re heading out for autumnal walks or hunkering down inside as the temperature drops, there’s fun to be had in matching our scent to the seasonal mood. “A smell, whether in the air, on our skin, or on our clothes, creates a world within our world that is both physical and imagined,” says Aesop fragrance partner, Barnabé Fillion. “A window into nature, so to speak, one that invites a dialogue with surround...
And Just Like That… Is Coming Back—27 Outfits From Season 1 That Rival SATC
Season two of the Sex and the City reboot And Just Like That... has begun filming, which means one thing: new fashion looks! Season one was full to the brim of the fashion-forward and unexpected combinations that we’ve come to expect from Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda. New BFF of Carrie, Lisa Todd Wexley, may be a new character, but the looks created for her have already given us a sense of her truly spectacular style. Our first sneak peek of season two has already got the fashion set talking, thanks to costume designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago’s of-the moment styling. Last season, Rogers and Santiago kept Carrie’s styling fresh yet true to the original series, combining modern looks with throwback styles that had us recitin...
I Found the Exact £48 Flat Shoe Mary-Kate Olsen Loves
We can’t remember a time when Mary-Kate Olsen wasn’t a style icon. From her early days as Michelle Tanner on Full House to early aughts classics like New York Minute and Holiday in the Sun, Mary-Kate and her twin sister and co-founder of The Row, Ashley, have always been ones to watch. Recently, we came across a TikTok video reminding us that Mary-Kate’s go-to sandals are not only minimalist and chic but also delightfully affordable. It may be autumn, but that doesn’t mean we should let the opportunity to snap up Olsen-approved shoes at only £48 pass us by. We’re inclined to buy now and save for the sunny months, or wear your sandals around the house. Ready to add some Olsen-approved affordable footwear to your wardrobe? Shop our favourite styles—in...
I Just Tried On the 7 Most Expensive-Looking Pieces on the High Street
I am a firm believer in investing in beautiful pieces for your wardrobe that will not only bring you joy but also last you from season to season. When we think of investment buys, it’s often items with a large price tag that come to mind, as well as classically chic designers such as Celine, Totême and The Row, to name a few. These brands are well-known for their timeless cuts and shapes, and they tend to stick to a muted colour palette, too. While I can appreciate the beauty of such pieces, as you may well already know, my style is far from minimalist, so for me, an investment buy isn’t always restricted to a beautifully cut black blazer or camel coat. I believe investment pieces can be statement pieces, too, which is why some of my most stand-out dresses and&nb...
I’m Calling It—Mango’s Coat Edit Is the Best On the High Street This Year
When it comes to high street stores, I’m very specific about where I go for certain items. This may be because, after years of shopping, I finally know exactly what suits me. And more importantly, I know exactly what doesn’t. Let me explain. While I find Zara good for dresses, I would never usually buy trousers from there (I’m 5’4″ so they’re often too long.) Instead, I head to COS for more tailored pieces. And when it comes to Mango, although I’m often caught pursuing the shoe, blouse and accessory section, at this time of year, I always know it’s the destination for the best coats. In terms of fit, quality and cost, it’s the full package. This year is no exception, and I’m blown away by the choices on site now. Whether...
From J.Lo To Sarah Jessica Parker, Celebrities Can’t Stop Wearing This It Dress
Sometimes a brand just gets it right, and it rarely goes unnoticed. In the 1970s, Norma Kamali released the now-iconic Diana dress, a one-shoulder design with all-over ruching that’s been repeatedly selling out ever since. Even Carrie Bradshaw approves—SJP was spotted donning the signature design on the set of And Just Like That… last year. The secret to its success? As we see it, it’s all down to the timeless simplicity and universally flattering details. Modified in recent years to include a built-bodysuit that nips in the waist and creates an hourglass silhouette, the Diana is designed to make you feel confident and classy. Plus, compared to other designer styles, it is relatively affordable coming in at around £200. But it’s not the only Norm...
The Only Designer Bags You’ll Need to Know in 2023
Personally, I’ll always gravitate towards handbag styles that are eternal in their appeal. Part of this is because my budget means I can only think of shopping sensibly and with the utmost consideration—if I’m going to spend upwards of four figures on something, it’s going to stay in my wardrobe or accessory rotation for life. However, with many designers taking to their archives and celebrating significant milestones, there’s also a nostalgia woven in with 2023’s designer handbag offering; something that’s sure to appease anyone who currently subscribes to the Y2K aesthetic. Classic handbags from years gone by are being reimagined anew and winning over a legion of fashion-hungry fans in the process. This only reinforces my point—a designer handbag can a...
