If You Hate Foundation, These Natural-Looking Alternatives Will Win You Over
I don’t like foundation. Never have done, never will do. As a beauty editor, it’s safe to say my gripes with foundation cause me some issues. Because while I hate the way it makes my skin feel greasy and appear 2-dimensional, a huge amount of people wear it every single day. And the most confusing part of it all is, I love the way certain formulas look on other people—I just can’t stand them on me. If I could have it my way, I’d never wear foundation ever again. However, in the name of research and being a good beauty editor, in reality I’ve tried virtually every foundation and base product out there. And while I know my disdain for foundation is particularly extreme, I also know that there are a lot of people out there who s...
10 Winter Outfits We’re Already So Excited to Wear
It can be all too easy when temperatures drop to a certain (read: ice cold) level to lean on the same outfits you have for the past few years, huddling up in neutral knitwear and the same black ankle boots. While you can’t beat a classic, if you’re looking for some new winter combinations, the likes of Grece Ghanem, Lucy Williams and more have been wearing a number of practical yet interesting looks you too will be able to wear on repeat until spring. Many of these key items you’ll already own, such as roll-necks and classic blazers, but you can make your autumn/winter wardrobe more 2022 with cream boots, teddy coats and leather trousers. Just because you have to make sensible choices doesn’t mean you have to spend the next three months in b...
Wide-Leg Jeans Are Trending Hard—Here’s How to Wear Them in 2022
Arguably, straight-leg jeans have had their moment and can now be considered a born-again staple. So there’s space for a new silhouette in town, and with all the wide-leg jeans we’ve been seeing recently, we feel safe in pin-pointing this as the next big denim trend that’s set to dominate the season. As a lover of all things ’70s, and a fan of the comfort this relaxed style offers, I couldn’t be more excited. The extreme flare silhouette is so easy to make look good; whether you’re drawn to loose button-ups or slimline turtlenecks, you’ll find that wider-fitting jeans complement all your wardrobe staples. And as we inch toward winter and surrender to bulky, longline coats, added perks will emerge: With your trendy...
Stylish Raincoats Do Exist—I Just Found 16 of Them
For fashion people, the idea of pinpointing the very best raincoat feels like an oxymoron and rather challenging.

I Tried on So Many Low-Key Autumn Pieces From Mango—I Loved These 10
Welcome to The Great Try-On. With autumn well and truly in the air, we seized the opportunity to try on some of the best new-in pieces from some of your favourite brands, documenting the process along the way. We believe that the best way to shop online is to see an item IRL and to read candid reviews, so we hope that this leads you to your most successful purchases on the year. While I’m often adding Mango pieces to my wardrobe and I always have its items on my wish list at any given time, I can only recall ever stepping foot in a Mango store once in my life, believe it or not. (Truth be told, I can count on one hand the number of fitting rooms I’ve stepped foot in over the past year, period.) That’s the beauty of online shopping, folks. I don’t even live in a...
I’ll Be Wearing These 4 Handbags This Autumn–Here’s How I’m Styling Them
The brand is loved and trusted for its high quality craftsmanship and laser-sharp focus on the luxe wardrobe staples every closet can benefit from, and this range of Polo ID handbags is no exception. In fact, you’d be hard pushed to find such premium leather handbags elsewhere for such an impressive price point. Let’s start with the silhouettes: For those who like their everyday handbags to be neat and versatile, you’ll find that either the saddle or envelope will work perfect to fling on over tailoring, dresses and much more. If you need something a little more capacious, the shoulder bag can carry everything but the kitchen sink and still manage to look completely effortless—it’s particularly good when set against a bohemian dress. On the flip-side,...

Of the 40+ Mascaras I’ve Tried, These Are the 15 I’d Recommend
If I could only use one product forever, I would be very torn between foundation and mascara. I reckon that I have tried over 40 different mascaras in my lifetime, so it takes a lot for one to impress me enough to keep flitting between tubes. Everyone has different lashes, and therefore, what you look for in a mascara may be completely different to someone else. While some want their mascara to deliver length, curl and hold, others will favour a mascara formula that volumises lashes without clumping. The best mascaras, however, tend do it all. While my eyelashes are naturally dark and long, they are also stubbornly straight and won’t hold a curl easily. Coupled with having hooded eyes, I’m often prone to mascara transferring onto my lids. For this reaso...
7 Insider Shopping Tips From Someone Who Used to Work at Zara
“Customers will always ask: will you be getting more stuff like this? Honestly the staff will have no idea what the rest of the season will look like. Yes, there are key trends, but since Zara design, create and produce items and have them distributed within just a few weeks, there is no way you can predict what’s coming in. Managers will only know what’s coming in when they do the order for next week’s stock. So if you like it, buy it. Items have a short life span in Zara and if you miss out on it, you won’t likely see it again. Now is the time to buy your winter basics, like turtlenecks, knits and trousers; the winter collection officially ends in December, after which they put everything on sale and start to bring springtime pieces.” You Deserve to Make ...
This Best-Selling Totême Knit Is Back, and Now I Want All 3 Colours
In fashion, you know something is a sound investment when you see it being worn year after year, and that’s certainly the case with Totême’s striped sweater. First released in 2019, the jumper sparked a Breton knitwear movement that hasn’t slowed in the slightest over the past three years. As we head into autumn, Instagram’s finest have begun digging out their Totême originals in preparation for the colder temperatures. But what is it that makes this particular knit so special? While I’m yet to invest in it myself, I have seen it firsthand, and I can confirm it’s essentially a style trifecta: it’s ageless, versatile, and premium-looking. Of course, it should look premium—it’s designer, and the price reflects that, but even I, someon...
I’ve Been Trying Out Stella McCartney’s New Skincare Line—Here’s What I Think
But my journalistic instinct got the better of me, and I needed to know more. The truth is, I’ve found Stella McCartney’s impact on the fashion industry admirable—her environmental standpoint has really helped shine a light on unsustainable practices and set a precedent for the rest of the industry. So, I thought, if Stella McCartney could make a difference to the world of fashion, what’s to say she can’t do the same for the beauty industry? As it turns out, Stella by Stella McCartney skincare is a feat, and I’m genuinely happy about its existence. First of all, let’s touch on sustainability. It feels needless to say that the line is vegan and cruelty-free (of course), but beyond that, the collection has also put a ban on over 2000 ingredients ...
4 Trending Dresses That Will Still Look As Good in 2023

From fuchsia hues to maxi hemlines, discover what styles our money is on below. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates On...
