The temperature has dropped, and I, for one, am soon going be swapping my iced flat white for a hot chocolate. But what about my wardrobe swaps?

I Love Your Nails: The 4 Biggest Trends From Around the World Right Now
Although England’s weather is known to be gloomy and unpredictable at times, the London nail forecast is looking extra sunny this year. “There are an array of bold brights and muted pastel colours during the summer months,” says London-based celebrity nail artist, Sabrina Gayle. “2022 has brought an amazing use of 3D embellishment and textured nails too.” And it doesn’t stop there. Artists are throwing it back and have a few nostalgic designs up their sleeves. “My favorite designs that I’ve seen are the more psychedelic and playful use of colors—where there is a mixture of trippy ’60s mushrooms and ’90s happy face rave designs. Nail artists are painting these free hand and/or with a blend of nail decals and optical illusion-style ...
It’s Official, Bomber Jackets Are Back—8 Ways Fashion People Style Theirs
I remember the last time bomber jackets were on the first page of the style agenda. It was 2013, Gucci had just made a momentous comeback, and its silky, embroidered-backed bomber jacket was a hot-ticket item. Everyone wanted to own one, but few managed to get their hands on one. So, cue a slew of more affordable homages. Topshop’s best-selling take was even worn by Olivia Palermo, fashion’s darling at the time. In the years since, however, bomber jackets, although never going out of style altogether, were kind of forgotten about. In their place, we gravitated towards blazers (both of the leather and woollen variety) and puffers, with Frankie Shop’s Ripstop quilted jacket reigning supreme for the past couple of autumns. So, you can imagine my delight and surprise when bom...
PSA: Our Favourite Affordable Dress Brand Has 15% Off For This Weekend Only
One of those brands we’re finding ourselves particularly impressed with right now is at the lesser-known-and-more-affordable end of the scale: Nobody’s Child. Since launching in 2015, they’ve focused their efforts on creating responsibly made clothes at an accessible price point, promising to use conscious fabrics, reduce waste and always be transparent with its processes. It also helps that the designs are joyfully bright and made for actual day-to-day life. Tick, tick, tick. You may well already be familiar with the brand, especially since it’s now stocked on the M&S website and counts the likes of Holly Willoughby, Fearne Cotton and Britney Spears (yep) as celebrity fans. In case you’re not, the collection includes cute tops, co-ords and denim, b...

The 10 Most Delicious Gourmand Perfumes, According to Editors
What better compliment is there than smelling good enough to eat? Perfumes are highly subjective, but the experts say the best perfumes are those that evoke joyous memories of people, places and things and conjure up a wave of happy emotions.

The neutral shade makes it so versatile; you can style it with anything from a punchy primary-coloured dress to an all-black ensemble. Admittedly, this is more of a transitional layer than a...

We Love Expensive Skincare, But Only When It Works—These 18 Brands Are Worth It
The world of skincare can be confusing enough to navigate, but luxury skincare feels like a whole new ballgame. It’s easy to come across a high-end product and feel sticker shock. How is it possible that a serum can cost hundreds of pounds? We definitely felt that way before we began using luxury skincare.

Many luxury brands are powered by scientific research and use top-of-the-line ingredients that really work to penetrate your skin.
