I Have Aesop Taste But Less Budget—I Buy Soaps, Creams and Candles Here Instead
C.O. Bigelow is a New York-based pharmaceutical institution. And when I said institution, I mean it in the sense that it has essentially become a New York landmark. Having existed in Greenwich Village since 1838, the apothecary-pharmacy is one of beauty’s biggest success stories. Stocking various brands across skincare, fragrance and body care, the store also produces its own line of products, and they’re available to buy here in the UK. While the brand’s products are by no means budget, they are slightly more affordable than my go-to Aesop buys. While an Aesop hand wash might set me back circa £30, my favourite C.O. Bigelow hand wash costs £16. However, despite the pricing differences, C.O. Bigelow products really do possess every bit as much of luxury and...
14 Easy Outfits We’re Wearing on Rotation This Autumn
There’s no denying that autumn is here, so we thought it might be useful to bring these outfits to your attention. With ensembles this strong, we’ll be applying these autumn dressing principles to see us through the cooler temps we’ll inevitably experience over the next few months. Autumn days can require quite a bit of outfit planning. Jacket or no jacket? How many layers are too many layers? Although it might seem pessimistic, this is actually the perfect moment to take a pause and really think about what you’ll wear when the weather truly turns. The below outfits include several classics that you’d typically expect from a British capsule wardrobe, including trench coats, leather jackets and jeans, alongside some new additions that feel really relevant for t...
The Important Autumn Trend I’m Only Buying From Mango
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...

I’m Petite, and I Just Bought Two Perfect-Fit Pairs of High-Street Trousers
I’m a petite size 12 and the world of trousers is not one that I can easily inhabit. Finding perfect-fit pants on the high street (or from designer brands) is like a needle in a haystack and it is incredibly rare that I can buy a pair of jeans or trousers without having to factor in the remedial work of hems needing to be taken up or waistbands needing to be taken in to accommodate my waist-to-thigh ratio. Fortunately, I’m not too shabby when it comes to sewing (thanks, fashion design degree!) but in all honestly I don’t have time for absorbing yet another life admin task or the budget to keep carting everything I own off to a tailor. It’s why you’ll often find me wearing dresses and skirts rather than trousers, but 2022 is nothing if ...
If You Only Ask for One Colour on Your Nails This Season, It Better Be This One
As someone who exclusively wears a milky nude on her nails and has done for several years, I’ve been feeling somewhat uneasy about the fact that, in recent weeks, I’ve had an urge to pick a wild card every time I’ve sat in the salon chair. Up until recently, I have never paid much attention to the colourful wheels of nail polishes that my nail tech presents me with at the start of every appointment. “I’ll just take the usual sheer, milky pink, please,” I say. But a few weeks ago, something intrigued me about the spectrum of brights in front of me, and I found myself fawning over a particular group of purple hues. From pretty, pastel lilac to deep, rich mahogany, I couldn’t take my eyes off the purple pol...
8 Manicure Trends That Are Ruling This Autumn, According to Nail Experts
Autumn is in full swing, and we’re really embracing it this year. There’s a crisp autumn chill in the air that has us reaching for wooly knits, but it’s not rainy enough to have to don a waterproof jacket just yet. And this kind of perfect autumn weather means we can actually embrace all of the trends we’re desperate to try—both in fashion and in beauty—without risk of being rain-sodden or too windswept. And while we’ve already pinpointed the top autumn trends of the season, it’s time to dig into the details. First stop: nails. And more specifically, the eight autumn nail trends we’re seeing everywhere right now and can’t get enough of. Sure, we can get a pretty good steer on cool nail mi...
We’re Certain These Are the Best Bomber Jackets to Buy Right Now
PSA: Bomber jackets are this year’s solution to tricky transitional weather. No other layer is quite so well-suited to rushed mornings and not-too-cold, not-too-hot climates, especially if you want to look chic as you navigate the changing of the seasons. Bomber jackets are insulating, easy to throw on over anything and incredibly cosy if you choose an oversized silhouette (of which there are many to choose from—more on that later). Admittedly, some of the iterations we’ve spotted recently are less practical than others. But that’s only because designers have recognised the aesthetic benefits of the bomber jacket in addition to its obvious comfort; namely that it makes every outfit infinitely cooler. With its sporty shape, ribbed c...
We Looked Through 100s of H&M Dresses to Find the 27 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...
I’ve Assembled 5 Easy Outfits Around This Stylish Striped Shirt
Every month we invite a dresser we admire to showcase the wardrobe staple they couldn’t live without in a series of ways—five ways to be precise. And this month, we’re taking a discerning look at the versatility of the striped shirt, with influencer Chiara Perera as our guide. A stripe shirt is acknowledged as a forever staple for many. It has been reimagined, and deconstructed and reworked by many designers. But the OG stripe shirt lives on as one of the must haves in everyones wardrobes. It is a classic in my wardrobe and is the ultimate styling tool for me. My favourite iteration comes from With Nothing Underneath, as I love the width and placement of the blue and white stripes, and the perfectly oversized fit. However, there are plenty of striped shirt options ou...
The Controversial It Shoe On Every Fashion Girl’s Wishlist Right Now
Every so often in fashion a piece comes along that instantly becomes a social media sensation. It fills our feeds, pops up in ads, you may even spot it sitting next to you on the train, but it’s best feature is its divisiveness–we just can’t help but talk about it, and since we spotted them on the feet of influencers everywhere, we haven’t stopped talking about Miu Miu’s ballet flat. First released in 2016, Miu Miu’s anarchic ribbon flats kicked off a love affair with ballet pumps that hasn’t slowed down since, and while pretty, satin ballet pumps aren’t the first thing you expect from a brand that has built its reputation on subverting femininity, they’ve struck a chord with those of us who want a shoe thats cool and comfortable. But i...
I Searched Through Thousands of Wool Coats—These Are the High Street’s Best
I’m in the market for a new coat but I have some firm non-negotiable stipulations ahead of purchasing. Firstly, my next coat cannot be super-expensive but it must be premium and long-lasting. It absolutely has to be a classic style that I won’t bore of by next winter—I’ve bought into trending styles before and lived to regret it. I’d like it to feel more fancy than the puffer I’ve lived in for the past few winters, and, whatever style I do end up landing on, it needs to be made of wool because there is no greater fibre option for a piece of outerwear that can remain looking good in your wardrobe for a long, long time to come. So, it seems like my mission this week is to find the best wool coats on the high street, and I think my discov...
