“Love Island”‘s Indiyah Polack Is a Carnival Queen in a Crochet String Bikini
She was the standout star of “Love Island” 2022 — just ask Lizzo — and now Indiyah Polack has proved she’s a carnival queen after attending Notting Hill Carnival on 28 Aug. The 23-year-old posted a carousel of photos on Instagram wearing a crochet triangle bikini top and matching crochet hipster shorts in the colours of the Jamaican flag, captioning the post with “Carnival day 1 done 💛💚🖤”. Looking every inch the superstar, Polack posed in front of crowds who flooded the streets of the capital and her outfit choice embodied that carnival spirit. The bespoke crochet two piece, handmade by independent brand Crolage, was expertly modelled by the Islander. Paying tribute to her Caribbean roots, Polack paired the striped yellow, green, and bl...
I Live in My COS Wide-Leg Trousers—5 Easy Outfits That Always Work
There is no piece of clothing I love as much as black wide-leg trousers; in particular, my pair from COS. They are the epitome of timeless style, relevant for every season, perfect for every outing and deserving of a place in every capsule wardrobe. Needless to say, I am pretty obsessed with them. Tailoring is something I’m gripped by year in, year out. And black wide-leg trousers are something everyone will always need. They cross the borders of occasion, from corporate work events to even, dare I say, date-night attire. The styling possibilities are endless, making them a worthy investment piece. Although tailored trousers were once deemed a traditionally masculine silhouette, the cut of wide-leg trousers is undeniably elegant, elongating the leg and addin...
& Other Stories’ Cult Blazer Is Back, and It’s Perfect for Early Autumn
Thankfully, my forthcoming wardrobe began to preoccupy my mind, and soon, my blazer despair was a distant memory. At least, it was, until just recently. Upon scrolling through & Other Stories’ new-in section, I found it: the cult blazer. Of course, I snapped it up. I already envisage myself wearing it with light knitwear, jeans and midi dresses come autumn. There’s never a bad time to buy a classic staple item, so if you also want to secure the & Other Stories wool blazer before it inevitably sells out again, I suggest you do, pronto.

I Just Tried On M&S’s Best Dresses—15 I Rate for Autumn
On the cusp of a new season, I’m keen to update my dress roster. So naturally, I’ve turned to M&S to try on its best-selling dresses right now. In the interest of being transparent, I’m 5’3″ and a pretty true size 12 with curves and a 32G bust. However, M&S is one of the few high-street stores where 10s are an option for me, so if you too are between sizes, I recommend opting for the smaller. All the dresses you see me in below are a 10 (save for one style which I accidentally grabbed in an 8, but all is not lost). Now that we’ve got the facts straight, let’s turn our attention to the dresses that truly impressed me. Some tap into my penchant for neutral tones, while others, well, I was surprised at just how much I love...
I Put an £1800 LED Facial Device to the Test—These Are My Honest Thoughts
If there is one beauty category that has totally boomed in the past couple of years, it is the rise of at-home beauty devices. And it has only been accelerated by the pandemic. Without access to our favourite professionals in-clinic, many of us turned to home treatments during lockdown to achieve our skin goals. However, I’m pretty sceptical about the majority of at-home skincare devices, particularly their effectiveness and the claims that they make. For example, micro-needling in a clinic versus an at-home “micro-needling” rollers are worlds apart. Although, the latter are often marketed to lead to you to believe that you’ll achieve similar results. Effective in-clinic treatments deliver potent results and can therefore only be delivered by highly q...

These 6 Shoe-and-Dress Combinations Work Every Time
I’m a creature of habit, particularly in the clothes department. With the arrival of each season, I gaze wide-eyed at the constant stream of newness landing in my inbox, saving inspiration from brands and influencers for cool outfits to try. Yet within weeks, I’ve fallen back into old patterns. Instead of reaching for the same strappy sandals to chuck on with a well-worn pair of jeans that are perfectly moulded to my body, I’ll have chosen a classic boot and chunky cardigan to fit the bill. The denim will probably stay. When I’m not testing the boundaries of how many times is too many times to wear the same jeans in a week, you’ll likely find me in a mini or midi dress. And come autumn, I...

These Designer-Looking Handbags Will Fool Anyone Into Thinking They’re Expensive
In terms of features, we always recommend opting for a classic black, tan or cream shade if you want the most luxury feel. The only exception this season is & Other Stories’ green woven style which could very easily pass for a Bottega classic.

Hailey Bieber’s Viral “Glazed Donut” Manicure Is So Easy to DIY—Here’s How
With Hailey Bieber making them an integral part of her brand, one thing is for sure: Glazed doughnuts have crossed my mind more than ever lately.

The time has officially come to start looking to the season ahead, and when it comes to what we’ll be wearing for the next 5 months, there’s a reassuring number of wearable trends and wardrobe staples to consider for the colder months to come (and yes, that could signify the retirement of the micro mini and platform shoe). There has always been an air of sadness around the end of summer, and putting away your shorts and sandals for another year can be a reminder that the days are about to get darker and drearier, but my answer to that is think optimistically of all of the opportunities for dressing up ahead.
