From J.Lo to Our Editors, This “Old” Denim Trend Is Making a Stylish Comeback
Picture the scene. The weekend has finally arrived, and after a week of early starts and dressing for work, all you want to pull on is the easiest outfit your wardrobe can supply, so chances are you reach for your favourite pair of jeans. Whether you move with the trends and favour a high-waisted straight-leg style or have stayed loyal to super-slim skinnies, it’s understandable if you’re a little bit fatigued with the year-round staple. After all, they are on call for every occasion. Whatever the fashion dilemma, denim is a reliable go-to, but as summer has come around and autumn is on the horizon, you might be looking for a way to refresh your humble jeans. So what if I were to tell you that one of the most popular denim styles of the ̵...
5 Expensive-Looking Outfits That Work Perfectly With Jeans
Although denim is characteristically relaxed, it’s often the foundation for creative expression and has birthed some of the most iconic looks, from Princess Diana to Cindy Crawford in the ’90s. I was a little too familiar with denim in the noughties, wearing kick flares with body-con T-shirts at every given opportunity and lacquering on sticky lip gloss before Y2K became the modish phenomena it is now. I’ve explored other aesthetics over the years, but when I reached my 30s, my appreciation of denim came full circle. By now, we’re all probably well versed in the importance of basic items like jeans and vest tops, but it can be challenging to figure out where to start with the elevation of denim outfits, particularly if you’re after something a bit more st...
The Anti-Pretty Summer Trend Everyone From Bella to Kendall Wears Nonstop
Photo: Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images; Gotham/GC Images Without fail, summer always manages to bring a few unexpected trends into the fold, and the most intriguing one of the moment (in my opinion) is summer suiting. Hear me out on this. Sure, there are a ton of noteworthy bikini, shoe, and dress trends that are defining the summer 2022 look, but none are as surprising and stylish as suiting. While suiting has become a staple part of runway collections and everyone’s wardrobes for the past few seasons, one thing that makes this “trend” intriguing is its common association with colder months. It’s not exactly the most tempting of thoughts to be trying to schlep through a hot summer day in a suit, yet the celeb and fashion set can’t seem to stop doi...

This & Other Stories Dress Always Sells Out—But 3 New Colours Just Landed
The beauty of Stories’ Puff Sleeve Linen Midi Dress is that it’s universally flattering, and just one of those styles you can wear to everything. Office days, brunches, weekend wanderings, on holiday, date nights, summer parties and weddings to name just a few— one friend of mine is even wearing it as a bridesmaid dress this summer. The problem is, it’s so popular that the style keeps selling out every time it hits stores. Luckily the brand has cottoned on, though, and just released it in three new colours— two pretty florals and a classic black, which is perfect for taking into autumn with a blazer and ankle boots. If you’re with us in fan-girling over this easy dress, keep scrolling to shop the exact style (while it’s still available) and also see more of & Other Stories’ best ...
I Just Found 22 “Wow” Pieces That Look Far More Expensive Than They Are
When it comes to style, I’m all about excess. I’m going through an OTT phase in which even my wardrobe staples have to have something a little extra about them. Maybe it’s post-pandemic loungewear fatigue or the excitement of a new season, but whenever I’m scrolling online or browsing in-store, I find I’m always drawn to those eye-catching statement pieces. Just check my saved folder—it’s filled to the brim with feather-trimmed trousers and those rhinestone-clad influencers who always happen to know where the after-party is. If you’re like me and also find yourself weak at the knees for a little full-throttle glamour, I implore you to head to the Karen Millen Pre Fall edit immediately. With more sequins than Cher’s costume department, this ed...
These 5 Swim Brands Are the Secret Weapons of Every French Girl
I lied and said it only took hours, but I spent an entire week researching swimwear trends, and I am now obsessed with the entire category. While I had fun finding out the swimsuits that are going to be big next—and shopping them too—I decided I wanted to spend more time with the classics. You know, those swimsuits that really, truly aren’t going anywhere. When it comes to anything timeless, I know exactly where to turn: the French gal. French swimwear brands aren’t easy to come by, but the ones that are out there are pretty damn good. One of my latest fantasies is to spend a summer hopping from yacht to yacht in the South of France. Whether or not I achieve that dream anytime soon, I’m still going to make myself feel like it’s happening by ...
These 16 Moisturisers Give More Glow Than an Expensive Facial
Trying to nail the perfect, natural-looking glow is certainly no mean feat. Trust me. I’ve been trying to suss it out for years. It seems some people are just born with a radiant complexion that oozes luminosity and health. In a bid to replicate this glow, I have tried virtually every single highlighting makeup product under the sun, and I am yet to find a formula that doesn’t give the game away somehow. Whether it’s chunky bits of glitter or my lack of ability to apply it to the most natural-looking places, I have been forced to admit defeat when it comes to highlight. So with highlighters out of the question, I have had to think outside of the box when it comes to upping my glow game. From primers to serums and cleansers to foundations, I have searched high ...
Whenever My Dark Circles Act Up, I Reach for This One Product
Believe me when I say I have tried every eye product out there. And while I stand by the fact that dark circles are inherently genetic and very few topical skincare products can change their appearance, I do know that there are a handful of products that help me look more alive—the most effective being under-eye masks. As someone that really champions sustainability in skincare, I would like for you to know that I don’t advocate buying single-use products in bulk. In fact, every time I use a single-use product, I cry a little bit inside. However, after ditching sheet masks two years ago (seriously, I haven’t missed them at all), switching my bottled products to refills wherever possible, and making a conscious effort to recycle all of my beauty products in ...
Katie Holmes Wore the Easy Jeans Combo That Ashley Olsen Swears By
Despite it nearing 38 degrees in New York City this week, Katie Holmes looked effortlessly cool when she was spotted outside of SoHo’s Angelika Theatre wearing the outfit recipe that every New Yorker, including Ashley Olsen, swears by. There to speak on a panel about her upcoming film Alone Together, the Dawson’s Creek alum chose a pair of mid-wash jeans, a white T-shirt, and a navy-blue blazer. To top off the look, she added a pair of green earrings and the same Chloé trainers she’s been donning non-stop this week. Luckily, unlike the actor’s viral cashmere bralette and cardigan from Khaite, which retail for £450 and £1350 respectively, Holmes’ latest look is almost too easy to replicate. In all likelihood, you already own a few...
I’m Obsessed With the Affordable Dresses J.Lo Wore on her Parisian Honeymoon
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. However, seeing it on Lopez, who styled it perfectly with a tan handbag and block-heel sandals, has me sold. Miraculously enough, her Reformation dresses are still in stock and come in additional colourways. No effort is required on your part, though, as I’ve already listed all of them for you below. Scroll on to see them and to check out some of Reformation’s newest dress styles. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

I’m a Stylist— Here’s Everything I Just Wore On Holiday In the South of France
Not that they ended up being particularly extravagant— I’m actually somewhat of a minimalist when it comes to holiday dressing. Mostly eschewing the usual printed dresses and bright colours that fit sun-drenched destinations for a more understated palette. Not only does this help keep my packing list down, since everything usually goes together in a neat summer capsule, it also means the pieces I do choose to invest in look just as classic year after year. Think a simple white dress, for example, or a black strappy swimsuit. The good thing is, this timeless aesthetic also works well when you’re trying to look your chicest on the Riviera. The French are well known for their love of an elevated basic, after all. From Jane Birkin-inspired basket bags, to light linens, fresh stripes...
