7 Accessories French Women Use to Elevate Their Outfits
Accessories are potent. They have the power to take what is otherwise a pretty standard outfit and make it more exciting and unique to you. I find accessories particularly handy in summer, for instance, when a basket bag is all I need to make my fail-safe jeans-and-white-T-shirt outfit combination feel more seasonally appropriate. On the subject of basket bags, I also like mine because it makes me feel like a French girl when I carry one. And anyone who reads my features will tell you that’s precisely the aesthetic I want to emulate. There are many clichés surrounding French style—too many to get into here—but one thing we can all agree on is that our Gallic friends know how to put an outfit together. Whether they prefer wardrobe classics or bold statement pieces, the way t...

44 Blonde Hair Inspo Images I’ve Saved For My Next Salon Appointment
Although I’ve always been a brunette, as soon as the sun makes an appearance and the temperature soars, I’m always tempted to go lighter. I usually opt for balayage or highlights to give my summer hair colour some dimension, but each summer I feel a jolt of excitement of going just a little bit blonder. In fact, hairdressers and hair colourists often tell me that once you dabble with blonde, you never look back. However, choosing the right shade of blonde can be an overwhelming decision. So, we enlisted the help of Jordanna Cobella, Creative Director of Cobella Salon and Wella Professionals Craft Expert, to talk us through blonde hair–and I’ve saved the best blonde hair colours that I’ve found to provide some salon inspiration. “When choosing the rig...
These 23 Comfy Shorts Are Just So Easy to Style
As Brits, we know the importance of making the most of sunny days. When the sun makes an appearance there’s no time to waste on complicated outfits when a pair of comfortable, easy-to-style shorts will do the trick. Especially with a heatwave upon us, restrictive styles are passed over for loose, relaxed shorts that keep overheating at bay. In summer I depend on loose cut shorts that can be thrown on and easily styled to make the most of every ray of sunshine. Various iterations fill my closet, from linen styles that are a must for an airy feel, to more tailored pieces that can be worn with mules for a more elevated look. And with so many colourful options, loose shorts work for minimalists and maximalists alike. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you...
Kate Middleton Just Made a Basic Vest Top Look Like a Million Dollars
I loved seeing Kate Middleton let her hair down and enjoy the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, but now the duchess is clearly wasting no time getting back to work. Middleton just hosted a meeting with politicians in London to discuss new research surrounding her biggest project: The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood. For the business meeting, Middleton understandably with a polished pantsuit, but she made it much less corporate-looking by choosing a fun pale pink color. She always manages to strike the perfect balance between aspirational and relatable, which is evident in her choice of a basic white tank top to complete her look. While most people will never wear an Alexander McQueen pantsuit, everyone owns a tank top and can copy her styling on their own....
I Can’t Fault Dakota Johnson’s Simple Jeans-and-Flats Pairing
Dakota Johnson’s style is on fire right now, and I don’t expect anyone to disagree with me. From her monochromatic tailoring looks to her Cinderella shoe moment, the star has been pulling out all the style stops for her recent slew of appearances in conjunction with the promo tour for her latest acting gig, the film adaptation of Jane Austen’s acclaimed novel Persuasion.

I’m a Fashion Editor In My 30s, and I Wear These 7 Summer Outfits On Repeat
In autumn and winter I always tend to lean on chic layering, based around a mix of neutrals that all go together— usually involving some form of relaxed tailoring (I’m a blazer super-fan). Summer is a little different though, as you have to really rely on hero pieces alone, like a dress or a linen co-ord, and then build a warm-weather outfit around them that still manages to look polished. That’s where it becomes all about the combos, balancing proportions out and adding timeless accessories that will always elevate your look. So, in case you’ve been struggling with inspiration for what to wear this summer, I thought I’d share with you my seven go-to outfit formulas that I bring out every year and wear on repeat. I’ve added any styling tips I could think of, as well as shopped out my...

The 10 Summer Nail Colours Celebrities Are Requesting Most This Season
I’ve found there to be two types of people in this world: those who walk into a nail salon and bend the knee to the great wall of bottles for their colour inspiration and those who, well, don’t (aka those of us who know the exact shade or colour family we want hours pre–paint job). What can I say? Sometimes, we know what works and what we like when it comes to our nails. You can’t go wrong with a classic pink manicure, ‘clean girl’ nails or going all out with bold, colourful nails or trending nail art. There are so many summer nail colours and designs to choose from. Of course, if you’re a celebrity, these types of choices might depend on pressing appointments like premieres, red carpets, events, concert tours or film projects, b...
