Trust Me—These Are the 12 Chic Summer Nails Trends You’ll Actually Want to Try
The temperature is starting to hit 20ºC, which can only mean one thing. Summer has finally arrived, and the shift in seasons gives us a whole new reason to experiment with nail trends. Whether it’s dabbling in some summer nail art or tapping into nail colour trends, we never get bored of scrolling Instagram for some new manicure inspiration, because choosing what colour to go for at the nail salon is never easy, right? Especially if you’re getting your nails done for a long-awaited summer holiday, you don’t want to make the wrong choice. When it comes to summer nails, however, you might find that you naturally default to traditional hues. While we love a classic pink manicure or a natural-looking nail look, sometimes it can be fun t...
The One Shoe Style to Avoid on Your Wedding Day
As a stylist, shoe connoisseur and previous bride, I’d like to think I’m in a pretty good place to offer advice on what footwear options will work best on your big day. Of course, every wedding is different, and the shoes you choose may be somewhat dictated by the setting. You absolutely will not want stilettos on a beach, for example, unless you want to be sinking while saying “I do.” But equally, you might not want boho flats if you’re comfortable in heels and your dress requires a bit of height. I can, with good authority, though, say that the one heel you should steer clear of on your big day (if comfort is in any way a deciding factor) is a sky-high pointed-toe stiletto. While they are, of course, totally glam, they put...
These Smiley Face Slippers Are Giving Us Happy Feet – And We Aren’t the Only Ones
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you’ll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work. Another day, another TikTok trend, and this is one we can definitely get behind. Smiley face slippers have been appearing in hordes of social media posts, with the hashtag racking up 2.8 million views on TikTok. We especially love it when style meets comfort, but it’s this unlikely celebrity spot that has really got us excited about cosy footwear. We are so used to seeing Victoria Beckham wearing sky-high stilettos that her latest Instagram post stopped us mid-scroll. Wearing a pair of striped pyjamas paired with the viral smiley face slippers in white and pink, the f...

A French Girl Says You Can Spend a Little on These Trends for an Expensive Look
Aïda Sané, the creator of @basicstouch, is a French girl we routinely turn to for sartorial guidance. She’s perfectly mastered that je ne sais quoi with inspiring ensembles that are equal parts effortless and chic. And while she certainly wears some investment pieces, she often completes her looks with more affordable finds as well. We thought we’d get further insight into some of the specific items she’s gravitating toward that are affordable but look quite expensive. “Even though investing in statement pieces is a good idea, it’s always nice to have alternatives—and you don’t need to break the bank to look chic and expensive,” she said. Without further ado, keep scrolling to check out the trends Sané recommends for an expensiv...
I’m Really Into Kendall Jenner’s Uncomplicated Jeans-and-Shoe Outfit
Finding a really good pair of jeans—you know, the ones that fit just right in a wash that goes with everything—is more difficult than you might expect. Though the market is saturated with options, not all of those options live up to our expectations or are affordable, for that matter. So when a pair comes along that checks off every box, it’s best not to hesitate. And as luck would have it, Kendall Jenner, who usually wears denim with a premium price point, was just spotted in classic, affordable jeans that are all of those things and more. Photographed alongside Fai Khadra in West Hollywood, the model was doing some art shopping and having lunch in a pair of mid-wash, straight-leg jeans from Levi’s. Paired with a vintage Hanes T-shirt, Margiela loafers...

I’m Losing It Over These Designer Buys From This Year’s Summer Sales
Unlike the January sales (which all start within a week of each other), the summer sales can be harder to keep track of. Their start dates will be staggered across the months, meaning you have to be more strategic. Well, we can officially report that some key retailers have already released their discounts, most notably premium retailers such as Net-a-Porter, MATCHESFASHION.COM, 24S and Farfetch, which are all offering great discounts on designer buys. Prepare to get clicking. Of course, we’re being drawn towards those cult buys we’ve spotted all over our Insta feeds so far this year, but we’re also picking out those classic pieces we’ll still want to wear for many years to come. We’re talking crossbody b...
I’m a Perfume Snob, But These High-Street Fragrances Smell So Expensive
With brands such as Jo Loves (which was founded by fragrance royalty Jo Malone) pairing with stores like Zara, high-street fragrances have shed their sickly sweet reputation and become seriously sophisticated. In fact, you can probably find a perfume dupe on the high street—or at least something very similar—for the most popular fragrances nowadays. So you don’t always have to break the budget to smell expensive. Whether you like clean-smelling fragrances or fruity scents or want to find your signature perfume on a budget, high-street brands H&M, Marks and Spencer, & Other Stories, The Body Shop and Zara are really leading the way for more affordable high-street perfumes. To help you find your new high-street fragrance, I’ve found the best sellers from eac...
30 Feel-Good Summer Buys From & Other Stories, Mango and Arket
It’s so easy in autumn and winter to cosy up in simple knits and beige layers, isn’t it? But when the warmer months hit and the sun comes out, it’s the perfect excuse to embrace a brighter life. Even my own style—which I would characterise as classic minimalist most of the time—is starting to lean towards sunshine shades and Floridian prints right now. I blame the big summer energy that’s present on my social media feeds. Weddings are wild again, festivals are back in full swing and tropical far-off places are starting to feel closer to hand (if only through my iPhone screen for now). Although I’ll never be able to deny the dependable draw of a white or black summer dress, I’m so looking forward to experimenting with some smile-inducing pieces. Especially aft...
