Best Wardrobes in Britain: Miquita Oliver
What are your best charity-shop shopping tips? I think it’s really important when you go shopping for second-hand clothes to listen to your gut and your instincts. Like starting a relationship or meeting someone for the first time, it’s really about trusting what you’re drawn to and what sparks you up inside. And that’s why I love buying second-hand clothes because I’m not being driven by anything that anyone’s told me, and I’m not being driven by the kind of standard tropes of shopping, which is like, “I’m looking for a size 12. I’m looking for something brown. I’m looking for a dress.” I just go out, and I come back with the things that I was drawn to, whether that be a skirt, a jacket, or top or a pair of shoes. And...
I Have Hooded Eyes And These Are The Eye Makeup Looks That Work for Me
When I first started experimenting with makeup in my early teens, it was usually after school at a friend’s house. We would dig out our makeup bags of Miss Sporty and Maybelline products and give each other makeovers. One day, we decided to give a strong, winged-eyeliner look a go. As we drew a slick of black eyeliner on our upper eyelids, I noticed that it looked great on my friends’ eyes, but on mine it looked a little bit off. And I couldn’t place why. The same went for false eyelashes, which completely overwhelmed my eyes but seemed to suit my friends’ eye shapes. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

26 Elevated Autumn Buys We’re Completely and Utterly Obsessed With
With the changing of the season comes a shift in our shopping attitudes. We move from whimsical purchasing behaviours to investing more seriously in our wardrobes. Summer can feel rather carefree on the fashion front, and the clothes that come with it are often bought for a specific event (like a wedding or a particular holiday) or feel trend-led and transient. Autumn/winter is all about pinpointing those luxurious pieces that will serve your closet well this winter and for many years to come. (Deciding to add a classic camel coat to your armoury will never, ever be a bad idea.) Now is the time when editors, stylists, influencers and fashion enthusiasts alike begin to consider which elevated coats, bags, dresses, boots and knits are worthy of their time, budget and wardrobe space.

I Tried on 7 New-In Pieces From H&M—Here’s My Honest Review
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 of the year. H&M has been a high street go-to for me for many, many years, and it’s been interesting to see how they’ve developed as a brand over this time. H&M’s aesthetic has gradually gravitated towards a more simplistic approach, focusing more on minimal, elevated basics, dominant in neutral colour palettes. Although H&M isn’t my first stop when I’m looking for one-of...
London Has Spoken—These 6 Trends Will Be Everywhere in 2023
London Fashion Week hasn’t been its normal self for a long time now thanks to Covid 19, and this season’s schedule had to be reworked and partially cancelled due to The Queen’s passing. This led some brands, including Burberry and Raf Simons, to decide to cancel their shows altogether as a mark of respect, but the majority of the brands soldiered on, with many acknowledging the period of mourning with moving tributes. Not only are runway shows eye-wateringly expensive to stage and prepare for, but this is, after all, a prime time for designers and their teams, having spent the past six months (at the very least) working tirelessly to produce collections, the show circuit provides the main opportunity to gather exposure and shore up your company’s fina...

We Did the Research—These Flat Going-Out Shoes Are Better Than Any Heels
Hands up if you have a love/hate relationship with heels. A bitter survivor of many a toe-squishing occasion, I’m right there with you. After years of conflicted feelings—the temptation of shiny new sky-highs always seems to win out—it was only recently, midway through a spirited ceilidh dance at a Scottish wedding that I thought to myself, It may be time to hang up the heels.
