Angelina Jolie Wore Flats With Summer’s Prettiest (and Most Uncomplicated) Dress
Ever since I saw her in Mr. and Mrs. Smith wearing that white, eyelet two-piece set, I’ve been completely and irrevocably obsessed with Angelina Jolie’s style. (Sure, she probably didn’t have a say in that outfit given that it was part of her costume, but that’s a discussion for another day.) From her days spent in leather trousers and vintage tees to her modern-day rotation of hyper-elegant trousers and dresses, there’s pretty much nothing in Jolie’s wardrobe that doesn’t look impeccable. And her latest outfit is hardly an exception. This week, the Eternals actress was spotted in La Jolla doing some grocery shopping with her son Knox in a simple, white sundress from Vince, paired with an oversize cardigan, a white Dio...
Logo Tanks Are All Over Instagram— These Are the 12 We’re Most Obsessed With
As we head into the last few weeks of summer, our minds can’t help but wander into autumn. With so many fresh trends ready to try, we’re thinking about all the ways we can incorporate them into our existing wardrobes, as well as how we can bring some of our favourite spring/summer trends with us too. Because some we’re just not ready to let go of— the designer logo vest being one of them. First spotted on the spring/summer catwalk at Loewe, the ‘affordable’ designer piece went on to sell out in hours, probably thanks to editors and influencers jumping on it with lightening speed. Then Prada made us want one even more when they showed a version on their latest autumn/winter catwalk too. Unsurprisingly, now other labels are producing their own it...
It’s Official, This Ankle Boot Style Is the Most Classic of All Time
For anyone who isn’t a fan of the comeback kitten heel, you’ll be relieved to know that the block heels you loved last year (and the year before that, and before that) are still everyone’s all-time favourite boot. While rival spindly-heel styles can be a case of ‘no pain, no gain’, block heel ankle boots are comfy enough to wear all day, every day. The sock boot trend is also back, and everyone from Arket to Miu Miu has iterations this year. Sitting just above the ankle, they’ll keep your silhouette sleek and streamlined, making them the perfect partner for wearing under midi dresses and jeans. Or if you want to elevate your classic jean-and-sweater look with one key buy, it has to be a Cowboy boot. Fun leopard print, bright colours and even glitter ...
French Girls Love This Nail Brand That Delivers Salon-Grade Manicures
As a beauty editor, I see many brands launching all of the time. With a number of celebrity beauty lines cropping up and skincare lines popping up on what seems like almost every other day, it’s easy to feel a bit jaded by new products that look . One category that I see fewer launches about, however, is nails. Within the nail category, you tend to have the nail polish heavyweights that have dominated the market for years. Think high street nail brands such as Essie or Barry M, and professional brands that you may find in your local salon, such as OPI and CND. The there are the luxury nails brands such as Chanel, Hermes and Dior that are used by some of the top nail technicians on Instagram. However, there aren’t many new nail brands launching, or bringing something new or...
7 Autumn Trends Marks & Spencer is Already Backing in a Big Way
Everyone from my grandma to my niece is obsessed with Marks & Spencer (albeit the latter is mostly hooked on Colin the Caterpillar mini cakes). Clearly, it’s this broad appeal that makes it a conversation starter. Think back to times you’ve been out with your friends; you dutifully compliment one on their outfit, to which they relish in revealing the piece in question came from M&S. It’s happened, right? The funny thing is, M&S has a proven track record of delivering on fashion-forward staples; there should be no shock and awe at the fact they (or you) have bought something good from there. Yet everyone considers it to be their secret source for expensive-looking finds. Although I’d like for us all to remain in this little bubble, the tru...
Black Jeans Are Often Overlooked—These 10 Outfits Unlock Their Full Potential
When we talk about classic jeans, blue pairs often spring to mind, but I think black jeans are just as timeless, even if they don’t receive the same airtime as their vintage-wash counterparts. I always feel more pulled together and polished in black jeans, which I’d argue also transition from day to night more seamlessly due to their darker base colour. Still, just like any outfit, black-jeans outfits can become repetitive if you let them. So in an attempt to stop them from becoming stale and tired, I’ve gone on the hunt for black-jeans outfits that are classic and chic and won’t let you down no matter where you’re going. Handily, there was a plethora of stylish looks to choose from, and my favourites are showcased below. Whether you’re looking for new ways to fres...
Reformation’s Most-Loved Pieces Are on Sale—Including Hailey Bieber’s Dress
In all honesty, it’s been a tricky couple of months for shopping. In the seasonal in-between, the shops are selling both swimwear and sweaters, and getting dressed in the morning is a toss-up between dressing for the humid commute or stocking up on sensible knits ahead of autumn. However, the best thing to come out of August by far is the end-of-season sale. And if you’re looking for the best bargain finds that are worth every penny, one brand in particular I would urge you to check out (before everything sells out) is Reformation. Fans of Reformation will already be familiar with the its affordable, cool-girl aesthetic (the kind of effortless but polished clothing I wish my wardrobe comprised entirely), and the A-list are big fans too. You&#...
23 Stylish Pieces That Make the Perfect Transitional Wardrobe
There is an almost imperceptible change in the air that signals the shift into a new season. The days get a little cooler, the evenings become a little darker, and before the leaves have even fallen off the trees, we’re in the midst of “pumpkin spice season.” But until the calendar reaches the end of September (the official start of autumn), we’re in that tricky time when the temperatures undergo drastic shifts, and in turn, so do our wardrobes. This transitional in-between period calls for some particularly smart shopping, and the pre-fall collections offer the perfect mix of layering pieces and investment buys. Thankfully, you can now shop them at NET-A-PORTER faster than you can say “add to basket.” In reality, all your wardrobe needs is handful of we...
I Love a Low-Effort Outfit, and These 6 Simple Looks are Perfect for Now
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from French women—aka the eternal arbiters of style—it’s that fashion is best when it’s uncomplicated. The elusive ‘just threw it on’ energy they radiate will never date, but it’s surprisingly easy to master. There are few things more satisfying than putting little time and effort into an outfit, only for it to fill you with confidence as you go about your day. For me, there’s a roster of fail-safe items I know will always have this effect. Blue jeans? Can’t go wrong. Floral midi dress? Just call me Jeanne Damas. Nevertheless, I often find myself looking my attire up and down in the mirror and thinking, “Wow, I should really change things up a bit.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. ...
I Just Tried Chanel’s New Foundation—And I Have Thoughts
There is no denying it, Chanel know how to do foundation. Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup SPF15 and Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation are both incredible, but now comes a new foundation, the Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Complexion Touch. For me, foundation can make or break your whole makeup look, from a cakey mess to a ghastly oxidized finish, foundation is at the root of it all. One brand I have always been able to rely on is Chanel, and boy does it know how to create a great base product, and so when they released the Chanel Les Beiges Water Fresh Complexion Touch foundation, it went straight into my basket. “The Les Beiges Water-fresh Complexion Touch sits somewhere between a foundation and a concealer. I pump the formula onto the back of ...
Jennifer Lopez Just Wore the Prettiest Shoe Trend of 2022
When it comes to an eye-catching shoe trend, Jennifer Lopez isn’t one to shy away. This observation was confirmed a few days ago in New York when Lopez wore the least low-key, but also prettiest, shoe trend of the year: crystal-embellished. Specifically, Lopez’s shoes are a new bedazzled version of Valentino’s viral Tan-Go platform heels, which she paired with an equally pretty lace Gucci dress and a Valentino mini bag. In general, crystal-embellished shoes have been quite a trend this year, with Amina Muaddi and Mach & Mach really leading the charge. Now, you can find pretty crystal shoes via designer brands for over £1k to affordable brands for under £100. When you’re J.Lo, you’re probably going to go for the designer ones, hence the stunning V...
I’ve Already Decided Which Outfit I’m Going to Live In This Autumn
Scrolling through all the new-in sections of my favourite brands right now, it’s hard not to get excited about the onset of autumn. Slowly but surely, knits, boots and coats are popping up again, and all I can think about is crisp walks and cosy layers (ironically, as I sit sweltering in this final heatwave). Recently though, there’s been one outfit in particular I’ve spotted both Arket and H&M backing (and you know it’s good if those guys are on it). It’s the knitted trouser co-ord—flared trousers to be exact—and I’m pleased to report I already know it’s going to be my most worn look for the season. Yes, I’ll maybe wear some dresses too, and a fair few jeans-and-blazer outfits— but for those relaxed weekends, and for working from home, this couldn’t be m...
