This Summer Trend Could Replace Denim Shorts
While denim shorts are a major summer mainstay, I’ve started to notice another piece take hold this season: tailored shorts. Even Meghan Markle has taken on this polished trend. While I don’t expect to see denim shorts slink away entirely, I’m not surprised that the sharply tailored bottoms are taking over. After all, it’s the summer of the clean-girl aesthetic. Sleek, polished, anti-trend pieces are everywhere, so it only makes sense that fashion people are gravitating to the easy, minimal shorts right now. When it comes to styling, you can approach them in a similar way to denim shorts or jeans. The fashion set has been wearing them with looks that are casual yet pulled-together—pairing them with everything from white tees and strappy sandals to bandeau tops ...

25 Simple (But Effective) Nail Designs for People Who Just Don’t Want the Fuss
Nail art is everywhere right now. From garish, colourful designs to dainty and pretty creations, it’s safe to say we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to inspiration for our nail appointments. With that in mind, though, is anybody else feeling a little (dare we say it) overwhelmed? Don’t get us wrong. We’re all for embracing our creative sides when it comes to our nails, but the minimalists inside of us are itching for a break from the colourful chaos of the nail trends of recent seasons. We hate to say it, but we’re ready to embrace simplicity. And no, that doesn’t mean we want to wear our nails bare. Rather, we just want our nail designs to be easier to wear, more understated and, most importantly, easier to mai...
I’m a Makeup Novice, But These 9 Natural Eye Shadow Looks Are Easy
I know that it’s a strange thing for me to admit as a beauty editor, but I really hate doing my makeup. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoy the therapeutic aspect of it, and I love how it makes me feel once it’s all done, but for the most part, actually applying my makeup just stresses me out. Why? Because I’m useless at it. Sort of. I suppose if I’m being fair to myself I should say that, after years of absorbing tips from makeup artists, I’ve become quite good at applying my base products. But as someone who likes a no-makeup makeup look and struggles with any sort of practical creativity, I feel it’s safe to say eye makeup is not my forte. You see, I like my eye makeup to look natural. For the most part, I either leave my l...
16 Cheap Shampoos That Are Just as Good as Expensive Ones
I’ve spent most of my time as a beauty journalist working directly with hairdressers covering trends, news and advice. And for the most part, I treat the hair advice I’ve received as gospel, and I drill home the importance of listening to pro hairdressers about at-home maintenance. However, there is one point, in particular, where I veer from hairdressers’ advice: cheap shampoo. I use it all the time. Professional and salon-quality haircare and styling products are really important for healthy hair. I just needed to say that before we continue. For the most part, you’ll find that they have fewer filler ingredients and synthetics that cheat the feeling of smooth hair and actually have a higher concentration ...
Jennifer Aniston, French Girls and Our Editors Use This Product for Glowing Skin
Made up of 98.1% natural ingredients, Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse contains seven precious oils to create an intensely nourishing formula. In addition to Tsubaki, almond, camellia, borage, hazelnut, macadamia and argan oils, it’s also enriched with vitamin E for moisture that deeply penetrates even the driest of skin types. The unique thing about this oil, though, and one of the reasons I love it, is that it’s actually a dry oil. This means that it sinks in quickly to your skin without any greasy residue you might associate with heavy-duty body lotions or oils. In fact, I often put this on after my morning shower and get dressed for work immediately. Oh, and it smells absolutely incredible—like holidays.

Maxi Dresses Are It for 2022—31 I’m Obsessed With for Weddings
I attended six weddings last year, and even though my guest count is less this summer, I’ll admit, I was less than enthused at the prospect of deciding what to wear to them. I always try to get more wear out of the pieces I already own, but in need of some much-needed inspiration for the months ahead, I thought, why not invest in one fresh look to get me through. The style I chose? A maxi dress. Being petite, I tend to gravitate toward midi style, which seems to land nearer my ankle anyway. However, after seeing the impressive maxi dresses on offer, I decided to embrace the look. Sure, I had to get the one I settled on taken up slightly to save it from dragging along the floor, but, just like that, I fell in love with long hemlines. With the ability to make you feel polished, even when adh...
I’m a Stylist— 9 Incredibly Chic Flat Shoe Outfits I Plan On Copying This Month
Don’t get me wrong, there’s a time and a place for sky high heels. Birthday parties, girls nights, and those rare occasions you can go from door to Uber to door. But in my personal opinion, running around day to day is not one of them. Whether I’m commuting into the office, or heading out for brunch at the weekend—I’m a comfort first girl, always. It just makes me feel more confident, what can I say? But that doesn’t mean my outfits have to feel any less elevated (no pun intended). There are some classic flat shoe combinations that reliably look chic, and to prove it I’ve collated an edit of looks below from some of the most stylish women I know. Think of this as a handy reference point. A bit like that digitised wardrobe in Clueless. Bookmark it, or screenshot to your hearts’ c...

A mere few hours later, it was time for a Reformation outfit change. The Tagliatelle dress, with its sweetheart neckline, delicate floral print and lightweight linen fabric, has been lingering in my basket for a while now.

I’ve Got Meghan Markle Taste on an M&S Budget—Here’s How to Achieve Her Style
The last week has been all about Meghan Markle. Slow heatwave days and refreshing cooler moments were punctuated by the latest photos of the Duchess of Sussex that set the fashion crowd alight. If you were on a social detox, or simply busy staring into a fan, then you may have missed the frenzy induced by Meghan’s flowy jumpsuit or the sleek tailored shorts she wore for her meeting with feminist pioneer Gloria Steinem. (Don’t worry—I’ve shopped out this look below.) These appearances reminded me of just how wearable Meghan’s style really is, and so began my hunt to re-create some of her best looks with the help of the Great British high street. During my deep dive into Meghan’s style, I noticed there were a few specifics she relies on. Classic combinations are...
