I Stopped Someone To Compliment Their Scent—Turns Out It’s Harry Styles’s Fave
Have you ever smelt a smell so good that you have to do everything in your power to know what it is? Normally, for me this is reserved to baked goods and meals infused with garlic, but recently I had it happen with a perfume. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. I was in an extremely packed rooftop bar in Manhattan, and I got a waft of what can only be described as the sexiest scent ever as my friend and I stood there clutching our drinks hoping that a table would free up soon. As we scouted, doing a complete 360, a woman and her friend, who were also scouting for a table, sauntered past. It was a nanosecond but also love at first sniff. Immediately, I turned to my friend and shouted over the music, “Someone smells incredible!” By the time he pointed out who he thinks it was, she was rushing away so ...
We’re M&S Experts—These Summer Pieces Are Destined to Sell Out
As editors we try to stay on top of these by browsing Instagram and, of course, the new-in section regularly— but the true experts in knowing the best pieces to buy from M&S are their insiders. These women live and breathe M&S, and not only have great taste— but they get the down-low straight from the brand on the next big things before anyone else. So, of course, I had to track them down to see what insider insights I could get on the brand new summer collection. If you don’t follow M&S experts Sam Briones and Nicola Dougan on Instagram already, you’re going to want to do so now. Below, they’ve kindly revealed to me (and you) the new-in summer pieces we’re going to want to buy while we still can. From perfect, easy dresses to classic sandal...
And Now, All the Coolest Ways to Wear an Oversize Button-Down This Summer
If there’s one item I’ve been reaching for on repeat this season, it’s an oversize button-down shirt. Cool, effortless, and polished, the reliable wardrobe staple is a classic yet manages to remain fashion-forward. I’ve spotted the low-key basic in fresh and modern iterations all over the fashion crowd on Instagram—most popularly seen in breezy silhouettes and a whole host of trending colours. Another reason I’m enamoured with the versatile basic (aside from the fact it leans into my coastal-grandma aesthetic perfectly) is that it’s super easy to wear. Aside from the gym, I can’t think of a single circumstance where wearing one would be inappropriate. Easy to dress up or down, it exudes an effortless elegance whether you style it with lin...
Ashley Olsen Wore the Jeans-and-Flats Outfit Every Cool New Yorker Swears By
Leave it to Ashley Olsen to show up to her birthday party, held at The Grill in NYC, in the most low-key jeans-and-flats combo and still manage to look like the coolest one in the room. To celebrate her 36th birthday, the designer of The Row casually paired a longline black blazer with a white T-shirt, distressed denim, and a pair of suede mocassin loafers—a four-piece combo that every stylish New Yorker just so happens to wear on repeat. Then again, you’d be hard-pressed to find a New Yorker who doesn’t, albeit unconsciously, want to dress like an Olsen twin. But get this: The best part about Olsen’s jeans-and-flats outfit isn’t just that she’s wearing it. Rather, it’s how easy it is to copy. Keep on scrolling to ...

Whenever Someone Asks Me What Perfume I’m Wearing, It’s Almost Always This Brand
Not to toot my own horn, but over the years, I’ve developed a sort of knack when it comes to perfume-induced compliment quotients. It’s part of my job to test practically every new fragrance that lands on the market, and anyone close to me in life can attest that my office desk (RIP), bathroom vanity and dresser are so completely congested with bottles and nozzles that you can’t even spot land. (Literally, you would need a compass and treasure map to find an open space.) Of course, I have personal favorites and signatures I’m partial to, but most days, I’m experimenting with a completely new scent. And trust me. When you’re getting around that much in the scent circuit, you start to notice patterns and coincidences when you wear certain brands or sc...
