If you live near a Zara store, consider yourself lucky. The closest brick-and-mortar location to where I live is hours away. On the plus side, I’m not a fan of trying things on in dressing rooms. I’d much rather do that in the comfort of my own home. Speaking of, I’ve been dying to try some pieces from Zara’s spring collection after seeing how luxe they look, so I did. Below are my reviews and IRL photos of seven trend-forward and expensive-looking items (or sets) as well as two pairs of shoes that I doubt will stay in stock for long. Get my candid thoughts, and shop them all below. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power.

Baserange, for those of you who don’t know it, is an Australian brand that centres on the kind of top-quality basics your wardrobe is probably always missing. The line started as underwear and has since expanded into ready-to-wear, offering both brilliant, über-minimal lingerie and lounge pieces as well as now swim, dresses, jumpsuits and more. Sometimes, less really is more, and this has been proven by the crazy popularity of one unassuming dress in a circle of discerning fashion types. I, for one, have added the new cream version to my spring Net-a-Porter wish list, and I cannot wait to wear it with flat chunky sandals and gold jewellery all summer.

Unlike your traditional primer, the Kjaer Weis’ ‘The Beautiful Primer’ not only preps the skin for makeup application—creating a silky smooth, glowing canvas—it also functions as a hydrating serum. Formulated with a blend of nourishing and firming botanicals, including Lavender Water, Marshmallow Root and Oat extracts and Cold-Pressed Olive Oil, which work together to cool, calm and inject the skin with a boost of hydration. With added vitamin E for barrier protection and acmella extract, which has a Botox-like firming effect on the skin. So this is not only just a primer, it works beyond the surface level for long term skincare benefits, supplementing the skin with nourishment and building firmness. And it doesn’t stop there, the star ingredient is sustainabl...
Make-up needn’t be complicated, and sometimes, it’s the simple makeup looks that work the hardest. Streamlining your make-up look not only saves time as you’re rushing out of the door, but as a result, it can also look more refined and understated. It’s the equivalent of removing an accessory when your outfit is looking a little OTT, right? Having badgered make-up artists backstage at a number of fashion weeks and photoshoots, one thing I’ve always noticed is that they’ll often highlight one feature on the face, with everything else pared-back. It might be immaculately groomed eyebrows, a French-girl red lip with minimal eye-makeup, or perfectly glowing skin that takes centre-stage (ie, some no makeup-makeup trickery at work). These are the principles that keep...
The best thing about dresses, though, might just be that you can bag yourself a really great one without having to dig too deep into your purse. Across the high street, second-hand and independent brands, you can find so many beautiful styles for under £100. Which couldn’t be better for this time of year when your wardrobe (and your mindset) may feel like it needs a refresh after a long winter, but you’re still trying to stick to a budget at the beginning of the season.

“This foundation reminded me why liquid foundations are so great. I was blown away by how great my makeup looked after a full day. Oh, and my pigmentation totally disappeared under the full coverage. I didn’t even have to put more concealer on than usual. I got the matte finish that I try to go for, too. “Most of all, I was impressed with the staying power. I was really blown away by how it lasted. I was out in the sun for the whole day, and it stayed on so well. I didn’t reapply at all. I applied it at 8 a.m., and when I took it off 12 hours later, it still looked exactly as it did in the morning, which is totally unheard of. I also like that the shade range is super extensive! “It really is the definition of your skin but better. It still looks like my skin, just much more even. It’s als...
There are some microtrends that have are so clickbait-y, so purposefully created for the internet and social media feeds, that they die out before they’ve even had much of a chance to reach a wider audience. It’s probably for the best, as many of Instagram or TikTok’s most “liked” items can be hugely unrealistic for day-to-day wear. These contributing factors explain why the term microtrend has become a dirty one among fashion lovers who like to consume more consciously, and so we use it carefully. The way we think of microtrends is more about the subtler pieces, prints, colours, outfit combinations and accessories that are on the rise, destined for fashion fame but with the chance to actually work both IRL and for the long run. This is all...
The best trench coat is a lifelong keeper. It’s the kind of trusty wardrobe staple you know is ready and waiting whenever you need it, but it doesn’t vie for your attention at all times (or get upset when you shove it to the back of the rail for a few months). It took me a long time to find my holy grail of outerwear. My perfect trench coat arrived early in 2015 when Finery launched, and I scooped up the double-face crêpe trench the brand continues to riff on today. I still dig it out every spring, and it’s already made a 2022 appearance or two. It’s made of a weighty fabric in a flattering fit with a slight ‘70s vibe and an overall finish that looks way beyond its high-street price tag. You Deserve to Make Money Ev...
Is anyone else struggling to find a free date in the diary? Our weekends are already filling up with weddings, brunch dates, festivals, summer soirées and more. Events are well and truly back, but with so many occasions coming up, how do any of us know what to wear? This is where Karen Millen enters the chat. The brand has an outfit for every type of plan and pieces that tick off every spring trend from cut-out dresses to knit vests to co-ords. We took it upon ourselves to peruse the brand’s spring offerings, and we’ve narrowed it down to five key styles that busy people need to take the stress out of getting dressed for occasions. Now you can spend your time getting excited about a summer of fun and let Karen Millen’s latest collection fill your wardrobes with joy. ...
I am struggling to think of an occasion when I didn’t appreciate (and directly want to copy) an outfit of Sienna Miller’s. Her success rate for influencing myself, or any member of the Who What Wear team, must sit around the 99.9 per cent mark. From casual get-ups that feel effortlessly thrown on to bohemian eveningwear options, her ensembles never feel contrived. Miller’s choices can echo trends but are never slavish to them, and her latest look is yet another masterclass in how to cherry pick the latest items and looks that work for your personal style. Arriving for an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Sienna stepped out onto the streets of NYC in a stunning white, ruched dress that could have easily felt bridal, but with her clever make-under techniques s...
Turn up to any fashion event in April, and I can guarantee you at least 50% of us will be wearing a trench, so you know it comes well and truly fashion expert approved. It helps that they work thrown over dresses, jeans, skirts, tailoring and just about any outfit you can think of. Dressed up or down, for a wedding or weekend, they always make you look polished. And the best part? You don’t need to spend thousands on a designer style to get that look. Yes, a Burberry or Totême style is a fantastic investment—one you’ll likely wear forever, so the cost per wear makes it worth it. But with so many amazing classic (and trend-led) versions on the high street these days, you can easily spend a lot less on a seriously impressive style. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you...
And truly, there’s no better time to do this than at the beginning of the new season when we can all be left a little unsure of how to dress. As we look ahead to spring/summer 2022, it can help us relish in our wardrobes again, rediscovering what we already have and what might be good to invest in. I know how easy it is to let your once-exciting buys blend into the back of your wardrobe after a number of wears. But finding new ways to style them together or adding in just one fresh new item can breathe life into them and extend their use for at least another year. That’s the best part about these 17 looks—they probably involve pieces you already have. It’s really all about the subtle styling tricks or an unexpected pairing that can instantly modernise your look. A...
