Our Editors Agree—This Is This One Skincare Brand That’s Just Too Good to Share
And yes, you can say this for a lot of brands out there, but something about Susanne Kaufmann skincare hits different. The brand is, I’ve already mentioned, luxe. The price points are high but perhaps not quite as high as some of the other major players in high-end skincare (for example, Dr. Barbara Sturm or La Mer). The difference however between those skincare brands (which I do love, don’t get me wrong), is that Susanne Kaufmann’s high price points feel totally justified. To begin with, the products are all formulated and created in Kaufmann’s hometown in Bezau, Austria. A small nestled away in the Alps, Bezau is home to some of nature’s greatest resources—and you better believe a whole load of them end up in Susanne Kaufmann products. T...
I Hate Most SPFs—But I’ve Just Found One That I Actually Love
If you’re in the know about skincare, you’ll know that wearing an SPF every day is essential. Not only to protect your skin from dangerous rays and sunburn, but to also prevent against the signs of ageing too. While getting wrinkles and pigmentation is something we embrace, is part and parcel of growing older, the sun can really contribute to these. Dermatologists and skin experts widely agree in the beauty industry that around 80-90% of skin ageing is because of UVA rays. That’s not just when you’re sunbathing on holiday, but even on cloudy days in winter when you’re sitting near a window. It doesn’t have to be hot and sunny for the suns rays to reach your skin. This is why it’s important to wear an SPF. Every. Single. Day. And nope, hav...
I Road-Tested This Classic Sandal Collab, and Now I’m Obsessed
Fashion collaborations come in a variety of guises. Some result in an exciting fusion of design aesthetics while other designers probably should’ve just stuck to what they do best. Proenza Schouler and Birkenstock might not have been the most obvious of fashion bedfellows, but when these two brands dropped their first sandal collaboration last year, the fashion crowd couldn’t get enough—and neither could I. With all of Proenza’s design know-how and the comfy, hard-wearing appeal of Birkenstock’s iconic sandal, the collaboration entered the market just as the “gorpcore” trend was hitting the big time. With their clean lines, pops of colour and comfortable fit, these sandals are a rare meeting of form and function. So it comes as no surprise to me that thi...
Linen Trousers Are Everywhere—6 Outfits Tempting Me to Buy a Pair
FOMO is something none of want to feel, be it a night out, a festival, gig or an item of clothing. And I can’t help but feel I’ve been missing out on linen trousers for so many summers. The thing is, my steamer (from Steamery) is my best friend, I use it daily, and I take it on every single trip (even travelling around South East Asia.) The easy way to iron, I steam everything before I wear it to keep the creases at bay. So, this is why the idea of linen trousers that easy crease freak me out. This was until I saw so many of my favourite influencers wearing a pair, that is, and I soon realised embracing creases is all part of the laidback summer vibe. The fact is, you can also invest in a linen-mix pair that won’t crease as much as the pure linen counterparts. And while I always...
Runway to Reality: 6 Autumn Trends You Can Start Wearing Now
When you work in fashion, it’s hard to live in the moment. We’re constantly being presented with new collections ahead of time, and as such, the lines can blur between seasons, especially between spring, summer and autumn. However, living in Britain makes this easier. We all know the weather can change at a second’s notice here, so although we get a handful of glorious sunny days across the peak months of July and August, you’re never more than a dark cloud away from a downpour or a celsius dip. This means that thinking ahead to autumn, even at this stage in the year, is more than acceptable. Autumn will bring with it a whole host of new trends to try, but you don’t necessarily need to wait until the end of September to try them. While consulting our bumper au...
In the Market for a Tummy-Control Swimsuit? Then These 25 Are the Chicest
It’s finally happened. Summer is in full swing and whether that means you’ll be jetting off somewhere poolside very soon, or you’re sticking around to enjoy the great British summer, it’s likely you’ll be needing a swimsuit at some point. From garden sunbathing to lido visits and beach days— the humble one-piece is an essential part of our summer rotation. But shopping for one can, for a number of reasons, often induce anxiety and stress. That awful changing room lighting never helps, and even if you decide to try at home, finding one that’s practical, fits perfectly on the boobs and bum and makes you feel great, is a challenge most of us women go through every few years. It’s also (sadly) true that we probably all have our body hang-ups of some sort, which never makes the process ea...
Everything You Need to Know About Buying An Engagement Ring–According to Experts
“The pros of buying a ring (i.e already made) means, hopefully, no surprises. You try it on your finger, it fits beautifully, it’s the look and quality that you are searching for, within your price range and no need to imagine beyond that,” says Odet. “When buying antique and vintage, it’s one of the more sustainable options, which is a huge pro. And buying antique and vintage also means that the ring will still have a very unique quality rather than an ‘off the shelf’ feel. But that doesn’t mean that there are not sustainable, demi-bespoke or one-of-a-kind options on the market in contemporary jewellery – there are. Designing a ring is a very different journey. Firstly, it’s much more personalised. It gives you much more flexibility, especially when it ...
The Y2K Bag Trend You Really Don’t Need to Spend a Lot On
If there’s one accessory that epitomises the ’90s, it’s surely the baguette bag. Just one glimpse at its teeny proportions and dainty shoulder strap will take you thundering down memory lane to a time when jeans were low-slung and crop-tops were in plentiful supply. For me, the trend has connotations of chick-flick heroines, glamazon girl-band members and, well, Regina George. As an accessory, it certainly had a particular ‘look’ attached to it.

I Try Not to Buy New—5 Summer Staples I Pull Out Every Year
This is the final piece in my series about capsule wardrobes and what better way to finish it off than to be talking all about summer staples. I have spent my entire adult life looking forward to the great summer wardrobe switchover. It’s a ritual for me, out with the chunky, dark, winter clothes and in with colourful, cheerful and lightweight summer options. I find that it always comes at a time where I’m starting to grow a little bored of my wardrobe, so once I unpack the boxes of all of these (old) goodies, it’s as if I’m seeing them for the first time all over again. I have so many pieces that I love—especially in the dress department—but there will always be those key pieces that come out year after year. If you don’t already own these pieces (chances a...
