Chunky Loafers Can be Hard to Style—These 8 Pieces Always Work With Them
The trouble is, chunky loafers with their masculine vibe and heavy appearance can actually be quite hard to style. Jeans are one of our most-worn items, and the obvious choice to wear with easy slip on shoes, but even then you need to be careful with the shape and length of the denim. Your best bet, in a stylist’s opinion (that’s me), is to keep it classic— a tonal colour palette and pared-back basics will always look best. Think black jeans and camel coats. Worried about them feeling too clunky? Pair with a mini or midi skirt for balance. Prefer to lean into the androgyny? Pair with a cargo pant for an extremely 2022 vibe. Keep scrolling, and you’ll find eight examples of easy outfits you can wear with your chunky loafers, and the specific pieces we find always work with them. Most ...
I Already Know These 5 Mango Buys Will Be Best Sellers This Autumn
It helps that Mango has just dropped an epic new collection, and the first which hints at those cooler temperatures. It has a mostly western vibe (always one of my favourite autumn trends, and set to be huge for A/W 2022 in particular), and although there are so many great pieces, I’ve pinpointed five in particular that really stand out. From a fringed jacket I’ve seen all over Instagram already, to a pair of embellished slingbacks you may well find familiar— these are items that, from experience, I can basically guarantee will sell out. I plan on styling them all up now with more summery pieces, and then layering them up throughout the whole of autumn and winter. Keep scrolling to see my top five buys from Mango right now… You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for...
This Trending Eye Makeup Look Is So Easy To Recreate
There is a new eye makeup trend in town and it’s the best one yet. An evolution of the traditional classics, the smokey eye and the cat eye, the siren eye makeup trend is our latest obsession. With over 440 million views on the hashtag #sireneyes, and an increase of over 300% on Google search, it’s definitely proving to be popular. But what exactly is the siren eye look, coined by beauty creator Danielle Marcan? It’s a way to effectively draw on a seductive, mysterious and feminine siren energy. Super impressive, yet so simple to recreate, it’s all about elongated flicks of eyeliner, along both the inner and outer corners of the eyes. “It is a great look to try out, because you can shape your eyes using just a few products and it suits a lot of people,” says professional makeup ...
Jo Malone Just Launched a Skincare Line, and I Have Some Very Honest Thoughts
The collection is made up of five products: a cleanser, a face cream, a face oil, a hand-and-body cream and a body oil—oil-heavy, as expected. Upon opening up my box, the first thing I was struck by was the outer packaging. Considering both brands sit in the luxury sector and champion a high-end aesthetic, I must admit I was a little let down by the boxes. As far as I’m concerned, outer packaging is a waste of time and bad for the environment, but brands and retailers put the need for it down to protecting the product from damage. Only, the boxes these products come housed in are flimsy. In fact, mine had already come undone on their way over in the post. Besides the lack of sturdiness of the boxes, though, I must admit that the packaging design of the products themselves is chic as ...
I’m a Beauty Editor With Eczema—These Are the 16 Products I Rate
If you have eczema, I feel your pain—not to mention the itch. Eczema can be a troublesome and painful skin condition and particularly difficult to manage no matter how big or small a flare is. Skincare products that once worked for you now make your skin sting, and trying to find products that won’t irritate your sensitive skin can be a long, laborious task—and an expensive one, too. I’ve had a number of major eczema flares on my face and body, and what no one tells you about eczema is the sheer cost of trial and error when you’re looking for eczema creams that actually work. And when you’re in the midst of an eczema flare, you’re usually willing to try anything to help soothe your skin. However, trying too many products can also make matters wo...
The Experts, Brands and Products That Celebrate Natural Hair in All Its Glory
What are common misconceptions about curly and Afro hair? Lesley Buckle: I get asked a lot if I just wake up with my hair the way it is, and often, there’s a lot more work involved. But for those who have curly hair, I’d say a common misconception is that there’s one product that will solve any hair woes or you can copy someone else’s hair routine and expect the same results. Even with the same hair type, every head of curls behaves so differently. Lots of factors like hair thickness, density, length, porosity and your environment, etc., all have a role to play besides curl texture, so figuring curls out can take a lot of experimentation. What are your top tips for caring for curly and Afro hair? LB: I don’t want to state the obvious, but being cautious w...

7 Jeans Trends Fashion People Will Live in This Autumn
Is it weird for me to say that I miss wearing jeans? I’ve spent the best part of the last four months working my way through my collection of summer dresses, which, back in April, I couldn’t wear to wear again. Now, though, the tables have turned, and I can’t wait to resume the comfortable and reliable relationship I have with my jeans come autumn. I don’t know about you, but jeans are the bedrock of all of my favourite autumn outfits. I wear them with everything from crisp white shirts and loafers to a blazer layered over a bra top and heels. In fact, as 90% of the outfits I wear between September and March will involve a pair of jeans, I can always justify treating myself to a new pair at this time in the year. But which to choose? To help me analyse m...
