These 21 Strapless Bras Have the Best Reviews
Does such a thing as the best strapless bra exist? I can’t count the number of times I’ve sworn them off after spending an embarrassing evening hoisting them up. But when you want to wear your favourite off-the-shoulder dress, what are the options? Now, you could just go braless, but if you’re not exactly small-chested, this can pose a problem, not to mention it can leave you with quite the backache. So thanks to the abundance of shoulder-baring tops, cami dresses and low-back options dropping in, I decided to go on a mission to find a decent strapless bra that fits well and stays put.

20 Pore-Minimizing Gems That Make Pores Look Invisible
“Shrinking” enlarged pores can be an uphill battle at times. The truth is, you can’t really change the shape of your pores with one specific product. Your pore size is determined by a bunch of different factors, like genetics, age, sun exposure, and skin type. But the good news is you can disguise or hide them if you use the right products. Some ingredients to look for that are good for hiding pores are AHAs and BHAs, which can exfoliate, and retinoids, which can work to unclog the pores. Sunscreen will also protect your skin from sun damage, preventing your pores from seeming enlarged. You also want to make sure you’re in a good routine with cleaning your face and exfoliating—unclogging the gunk and oil will make your pores appear smaller. But don’t forget to...
I Would Have Saved a Lot of Money If I’d Known These 6 Thin-Hair Tips Sooner
On behalf of all thin-haired women out there, I would like to take this opportunity to beg the beauty industry to stop telling us that we need to buy more styling products. I have spent my entire life looking for ways to make my hair thicker, and it wasn’t until I sat down with a brutally honest trichologist a few weeks ago that I finally understood my situation. I’m never going to grow more hair. The scalp can’t grow more hair follicles. The hair I have is the hair I have, and all I can do is make sure I keep it as healthy as I possibly can. Since learning this, I’ve thought long and hard about all of the money I’ve wasted on styling products designed to make my hair look thicker—the sort that do already thick hair wonders but ma...
8 Cheap Anti-Ageing Moisturisers That Are Just as Good as These Expensive Ones
Whatever your thoughts on anti-ageing as a term, there’s no denying that moisturisers, which are created to specifically tackle things like fine lines, pigmentation and dryness, can be incredibly expensive due to their potent ingredients and advanced formulations. And while I truly believe that ageing is a privilege we should fully embrace—wrinkles and all—it doesn’t mean that taking good care of our skin as we grow older should cost a small fortune. This is why I’ve made it my mission to seek out anti-ageing products that genuinely work without breaking the bank. I’ve already discovered some brilliant serums and eye creams that rival counterparts with three-figure price tags, but today we’re here to talk ...
6 Summer Trouser Outfits So Good They’ll Rival Dresses
As the temperatures climb steadily higher, there’s only one thing on our minds: dressing to stay cool. And while there are hundreds of dresses and skirts on the market right now that will do exactly that, I want to propose a new summer staple: trousers. The phrase summer trousers might seem like a contradiction, but believe me when I say they exist, whether in light, breathable fabrics or balanced with a sleeveless top. There’s no reason the trousers that we rely on day in and day out have to be relegated to the back of the wardrobe until autumn. The perfect pair of trousers has a power that is not to be underestimated, and the right cut and style can become a signature. (Just ask Dakota Johnson.) When you’re in need of a piece tha...
Everything a Fashion Person Would Pack for a Mediterranean Mini Break
One of the best things about living in the UK? Arguably it’s our proximity to the mediterranean. It may still take a short flight or a rather long Eurostar to get there, but in the grand scheme of things those bright blue seas are just a moment away. It’s so easy, in fact, that it makes the perfect destination for a quick, restorative week or even a long weekend away. The dream, of course, would be to while away weeks driving up and down Italy, or hopping around the Greek Islands. I’m pretty sure I could spend months on the French Riviera. But since most of us have the reality of jobs to get back to, we’ll settle for a minibreak for now. The hardest part about going away for a short time, though, is knowing what to pack. Cutting down your usual summer rotation into a capsule of piece...
I Tried The New Babyliss Waver And I Have Many Thoughts
I often find the simplest hairstyles look the best and I have a theory about this, so indulge me, please. The easier your hair is to style, the quicker it takes and therefore you get less frustrated and flustered and you’re less likely to have to rush other parts of your routine; like picking your outfit and makeup. As a result, everything just feels a lot more put together. Sure, sometimes I allow myself extra time to perfect a glossy hair look, or a braided style but most of the time I want the quickest way to great hair. It’s why I’ve nailed curling with straighteners and I wrap my hair at night to keep it straight if I get a silk press and why I’m always on the hunt for hair tools that are beyond easy to use. So, when the new BaByliss 9000 Waver landed ...
Whether You’re 23 or 53, These Wardrobe Basics Are Non-Negotiable
Basics have always been part of my wardrobe, but only in the past couple of years have I truly come to appreciate them in their own right. Formerly a second thought to more statement pieces, they are now the centrepieces of my outfits. And you know what? I feel like I dress better for it. Another thing I enjoy about basics is just how versatile they are; many can be mixed and matched with one another to create effortless and chic outfits. Then, there’s the fact that they’re ageless. While age certainly has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear, I get there are some items that you might be initially tentative to wear. This comes down to years of being conditioned to think you should dress a certain way when you reach a certain age. But I&...
These Are the Perfumes Your Favourite Celebs, From VB to Meghan, Actually Wear
Choosing a signature scent isn’t easy—trust me. I’ve spent years trialling hundreds of perfumes in a quest to find The One. From affordable spritzes to blow-the-budget blends, no perfume that I sprayed quite cut the mustard. Why? Because for years I was absolutely convinced that I didn’t want to smell like anyone else out there. I was adamant that I would never become the person who stopped someone on the street and asked what their perfume was because unless I’d discovered it for myself, I didn’t want it. However, many years (and a whole lot of beauty expertise) later, as I walked to meet a friend, a waft so fierce and feminine kissed my nose that my senses ran away from me, and I more or less chased a lady through a train station to ask her what perfume...

We Live in Italy and Swear By These Summer Staples
Are there any staples you swear by to survive summer in Italy every year? Italy, especially the South, has a sweltering summer that you can survive only by eating tons of gelato and enjoying the day at the best beaches. Be prepared to sweat a lot, and wherever you stay in Italy, ensure there’s an air conditioner or a fan in your room! Of course, you’ll need hats, good sunglasses, a good SPF 50+ sunscreen, a reusable water bottle, and bug spray (mosquitos are very popular here). Always choose a comfortable pair of walking shoes, if you want to discover the most beautiful places in Italy you will walk a lot!

Worried About Hair Loss? These Are the Products That Are Always Recommended
The thing is hair loss is such a complex issue that affects so many people and is triggered by a laundry list of causes. One thing that has to be said is that it’s normal to lose some hair every day. In fact, up to 100 hairs a day is average as a part of a healthy growth cycle. If your hair is in braids or held in extensions, when you remove these, you’ll also lose all the hair that is trapped, so it’ll feel like a lot. “Excess shedding is when follicles are prematurel. A normal rate is 10%, but this can increase up to 35% with premature shedding,” says Wil Fleeson, director at Rainbow Room International and director of Trichology Scotland. “Common triggers for this are iron deficiency, stress and anxiety, change in medication or change in diet and also post-pregnancy.” You ...
