Bridal Fashion Has Never Been Cooler—and These 54 Pieces Prove That
I have never been a person who fantasises about what I will wear on my wedding day—big, princess gowns or heavy lace have never appealed to me, so I just could never picture it. I am getting married this year, and when I started searching for a wedding dress I was really surprised by how many things I found that really felt like me. Bridal fashion has never been so cool or fun as it is in 2022—designers are now targeting those like me who want something a little less traditional. The pandemic has also changed the wedding landscape—some are still sticking to intimate micro weddings, and others are making up for last time with four day extravaganzas with multiple outfit changes. This means brands are now creating ‘wedding wardrobes’, playing with textures, embellishment and silhouettes ...
Liquid Blush Is My Must-Have Makeup Product—This Is the Best I’ve Ever Tried
Available in two shades, a sheer pink blush and a bronzing, sun-kissed copper, Brightening CC Liquid Blush is formulated with white rose stem cells to hydrate skin and leave a naturally glowing radiance, making it the ultimate product to tap into cheeks when you can’t be bothered to apply much else. On top of that, the subtle shimmering luminescence helps the high points of the cheeks catch the light for amped-up glow. Since using it, I have found it to be the quickest and easiest way to breathe some life into my skin—just brush it on (the pen format is very easy to use), tap it in with fingers and head out. Unlike so many other formulas out there, the finish isn’t tacky, the shimmer isn’t chunky and the colour payoff is sheer enough to make blending a bre...

The Most Jaw-Dropping Grammys Red Carpet Looks, Period
We’ve barely recovered from the Oscars, and now here we are, talking about the Grammys just a week later. (The Grammy Awards typically take place in February but were postponed due to the pandemic.) Compared to last year’s pared-down ceremony and red carpet, things are looking a lot more normal tonight, and attendees like Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, Megan Thee Stallion, and Lady Gaga are clearly in the mood to have fun with their red carpet looks. We have to admit that the Grammy Awards feel a bit refreshing after the more formal Oscars red carpet. It’s the consensus that rules do not apply when it comes to music awards ceremonies, so it can be hard to predict what to expect. But that’s part of the beauty of the celebratory night, which is taking place ...

These 23 Pink Dresses Are Guaranteed to Make You Smile
The overarching theme for the spring/summer 2022 collections is a desire for our clothes to be fun again and the styling is centred around an overwhelming feeling of optimism. Designers largely used colour to convey this mood, whether that was with a rainbow print or sunset hue. The most-used exuberant colour was hot pink, with the likes of Valentino, Giambattista Valli, Proenza Schouler and Prabal Gurung creating magical dresses in punchy pinks. With wedding invites coming in thick and fast this year, Net-a-Porter has seriously invested into occasionwear, buying over 3000 joyful dresses for S/S 22, and has over 10,000 dress options for the season. Scrolling through the new-in section, it seems like a high percentage of these are in bright pink, as many of the most...
These 13 Anti-Trend Bags Are the Moment
There’s no denying the renewed interest in classic style and timeless investment purchases recently. Classic outfits are appearing more and more in the wardrobes of insiders, with looks leaning heavily into fashion-forward staples like tailored blazers, crisp button-downs, and polished loafers. Investment-bag purchases have also been on the rise, with iconic styles including the Hermès Kelly bag increasing dramatically in sales over the last several years. So what does this signal? While cool, trendy bags are still mega-hot items, classic bags are in full focus as shoppers are prioritising smart investment purchases that will withstand the test of time. That’s also translating to what we’re seeing on the market, where brands are introducing styles that are of the mom...
My Entire Summer Vibe Just Landed at Mango—24 Pieces I’m Obsessing Over
My goal this year is to be a little more adventurous, to really live life after becoming too comfortable living small during the last couple of years. I plan on doing so by truly making the most of the summer, travelling, making plans with friends, and saying yes on a whim. And Mango has the fashion to match. Mango has read my mind with its Rustic Outdoors collection, an edit that evokes the glorious freedom and frivolity of summer.

Cut-out silhouettes, tie-dye prints, and fringe details permeate dresses and tops while raffia and crochet accessories complete the wanderlust aesthetic. You Deserve ...
Blake Lively’s Manicurist Just Told Me What Spring Nail Colours Will Be a Hit
I know it’s hard to keep up with the constantly revolving door of nail trends lately, but let’s just take a step back and appreciate the simpler things in life like, oh I don’t know, a few nail colours for spring, maybe? I’ve gathered an impressive roster of hues that seem to be popping up everywhere these days. I won’t lie, though—I had a little help from celebrity manicurist Elle Gerstein. She dished on all the shades she’s using this season and what designs she’s loving lately. “Designs I’m loving right now are impressions and pops of bold pastel,” she says. “They’re great for brushstroke techniques and abstract art—both are going to be very big. The colours are muted but when combined correctly can make an imp...
I Tried Zara’s Most Expensive-Looking Spring Items and These 9 Are Game Changers
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.

The 10 Sandal Trends Set to Rule This Summer
Pedis at the ready, people—sandal season is knocking on our wardrobe doors, and, my, are we ready to embrace it. After months of hiding our feet underneath layers of woolly socks and leather boots, it’s almost warm enough to let them breathe again in a pair of flesh-exposing sandals. This is serendipitous timing, seeing as the season’s hottest pairs have just begun to land. Influencers, who always tend to be a few weeks ahead of the rest of us in terms of their wardrobes shifts—the ‘gram waits for no content creator, after all—have already started wearing their sandals on the regular. In doing so, they’ve effectively highlighted the most covetable pairs. It’s my job to filter out the best bits in fashion for you, so I took it upon myself&nb...
