6 Uncomplicated Outfits to Copy While we Hover Between Summer and Autumn
We Brits love to talk about the weather. Be it a heatwave or a thunderstorm, we’ll have something to say (read: complain) about it. But in all seriousness, the unpredictable weather can play havoc with our outfit choices. And there’s no trickier time than the present. Summer weeks are limited, and autumn is on the horizon, so it’s constant toss-up between which season to dress for. While our hearts are saying stick to linen, our heads (and most probably the forecast) is telling us to start thinking about layers. It’s all about being clever with the way you dress, and in our opinion, taking note from others is the most faff-free option. So, whether you imitate Marilyn and wear your summer shorts with knee-high boots, or you take note from Chrissy and embrace the trench-coat with a...
Bomber Jackets Are Back Again—These Are the 26 That Fashion People Are Wearing
The bomber jacket is one of those rare fail-safe pieces that never go out of style. It might fade from the spotlight now and again, but it usually takes just one designer or brand to reignite the spark and breathe new life into the tried-and-tested outerwear style. This time around, The Frankie Shop is to credit for the revival. We wrote a whole piece praising the NYC label’s sell-out Astra Shell Jacket, a cult buy we’re pretty sure stirred up a fresh wave of flight jacket appreciation. And for autumn/winter AW22, all signs (and catwalks) are pointing to the trend being bigger than ever. From Givenchy’s ultra-cropped shapes to waist-synching designs by Sacai and Prada, the runways communicated it clear as day: bomber jackets are having a major moment. What is it about ...

After two years of uncertainty and postponements, 2022 is proving to be the year of weddings.

Dua Lipa Celebrates 27th Birthday in an Itsy-Bitsy Crystal Bra and Sky-High Platforms
Why have a birth-day when you can make it a week? Well if it’s good enough for Dua Lipa, it’s good enough for us. The singer, who rang in her 27th birthday on 22 Aug., officially declared it a week of festivities in an Instagram post on 21 Aug. And she certainly kicked off the occasion with a showstopping outfit. As she partied with pals on a summer getaway — and well-deserved break after delighting crowds on her Future Nostalgia tour — she posted a carousel of photos that saw her shimmering next to a swimming pool, laughing with friends, and shining on a grass verge. Wearing a tiny bra adorned with glistening crystals from Marc Jacobs autumn 22 collection, she channelled that Studio 54 Seventies vibe. Not many people could pull off the bra, created with strategically placed di...

I Just Spoke to Every Expert I Know—These Are the Only Skin Tips That Matter
While the skincare products we use and the ways in which we use them are of vital importance when it comes to the health of our skin, many experts we spoke to were keen to highlight that skin health doesn’t depend entirely on a regimen. “It’s about managing your internal and external environment, which means sun protection and nourishing your body with foods that [help skin] from the inside out,” says Dr Steve Cohen, Plastic Surgeon at the Cadogan Clinic. “Diets heavy in antioxidant-rich fruits and green, leafy vegetables can positively affect your skin health,” he adds. And while experts want you to know that drinking litres of water a day isn’t going to miraculously cure your skin woes, they do also want to drum home the importance...
A Dior Makeup Artist Told Me About 3 Easy Products That Make Skin Look Filtered
Before he was working with some of the biggest celeb names, Sam Visser’s creativity and unique take on makeup caught the eye of Kris Jenner when he was just a teenager, which helped catapult him to fame. Now, the L.A.-based makeup artist is heavily in-demand, landing a coveted deal as a Dior U.S. makeup artist ambassador, and he is on speed dial for the celebrity set, including A-listers Bella Hadid, Kaia Gerber, and Lily-Rose Depp. Whether he’s jetting off to Cannes to craft buzzy red carpet looks or behind the scenes for the latest cover shoot lensed by Inez and Vinoodh, his makeup is designed to look flawless in photos. I recently had a chance to sit down with Visser and was curious about his approach to creating the ultimate photo-ready beauty look. Not ...
10 Stylish Y2K Outfits That Define the TikTok Aesthetic
Thanks to the social media platform and the fact that the 2000s were 20 years ago (!!!), there is a current revival of everything related to what is now determined to be Y2K fashion. According to a Stylight report, “these turn-of-the-millennium trends are booming thanks to Gen Z discovering and showcasing them on TikTok”. It’s a compliment, really, that the young and hip people of today regard my generation as aspirational in terms of style. That’s what they’re saying, isn’t it…? Admittedly, I was scared when Y2K fashion first came back around. I wouldn’t even go as far as to say that I got it right the first time it happened, so why would I repeat the same mistakes now as a seasoned, thirty-something fashion editor? While I managed to ...
Skin Experts Really Rate These Creams For Rosacea
Generally caused by a genetic disposition, rosacea can be triggered by a number of factors including UV radiation and weak skin immunity. The defining characteristics of rosacea include redness, pink spots that contain pus and visible blood vessels, all of which are usually observed in the centre of the face. Rosacea can manifest differently in each person, so an individual can exhibit varying combinations of symptoms or maybe just the one. Rosacea is a chronic skin condition, and can be triggered by many factors from sun exposure and red wine, to spicy foods and citrus fruits or even exercise. However, with the right skincare routine and being conscious of your triggers, you can help in managing your rosacea. Finding the right products that won’t trigger or inflame your r...
These Boots Are Already the Most Wanted of the Season
Well, that’s where we come in. We take our job of recommending the very best fashion buys seriously, and ever since the first signs of autumn drops started landing we’ve been eyeing up each and every cowboy boot style to find the ones that are really worth your money. That was until Reformation, one of our (and many celebs’) favourite brands for sustainably-minded wardrobe pieces that last, went and blew all the others out the water with a collection of probably the coolest cowboy boots we’ve ever seen. Okay, you might be able to find more “authentic” styles in Nashville or Austin, but if you can’t afford the flight we guarantee these are the next best thing. There’s a taller style which come in black, white and classic tan leather, and a shorter ankle version which ...
I’m a Bit of a Dress Snob, but These 24 Casual Midis Get My Approval
When it comes to getting dressed, whether it’s for work or play, they are certain pieces that we wear on repeat. For me, 9 times out of 10 that piece is a dress, and whether it’s a casual midi dress or a billowing maxi they are an integral part of my daily uniform. Whenever anyone asks me about my about my number one styling tip, it always comes back to sticking to a piece you know works for you, so that’s my excuse. I often find myself reaching for a dress on those days when I still want to feel good. Maybe it’s a lazy approach to getting dressed—throw on one piece, add some accessories, good to go—but it works for me. Or maybe it’s the nod to the elusive balance looking sharp and see...
