Digital Fashion Styling Heats Up With New Converse x Bitmoji Capsule Collection
Legendary footwear brand Converse has teamed up with Snapchat, launching a Bitmoji capsule collection.

5 Non-Negotiable Spring Skincare Tips, According to a Dermatologist
At this time of the year, many of us overhaul various areas of our lives. Spring cleaning now applies to everything, from our homes and wardrobes through to our emotional boundaries and social media follows, and there’s something about the warmer weather and gloriously long(er) days that brings out the urge for pro-active change. However, one thing that we often forget to check in for a well-timed review is our skincare routine. Skin is temperamental and it’s affected by so many factors, and yes, that always includes seasonal changes. Increased UV-ray exposure and the rising temperature can have an impact on your skin, and not necessarily a good one. While layering serums, oils and heavier balms served us well during the coldest ...
These 14 New Beauty Products Are What Every Editor Is Raving About
One of the best things about my job is, obviously, the beauty products. Yes, I sometimes get frustrated with them for a multitude of reasons but show me a loving relationships without a little up and down and I wouldn’t believe it was real! You can always rely on new beauty releases to send a buzz through the beauty industry; with constant evolution and innovation the beauty industry is an exciting place. Things like new formulations, new technologies and new ingredients all keep the beauty consumer forever on their toes. Even new packaging can be enough to warrant a fancy dinner event or celebrity promo circuit. So with the new season comes an inevitable host of new beauty releases. Not all are born equal, of course, but it is very apt timing considering I’m abo...
8 Stylish Shoes French Women Deem Essential for Spring
As a confessed Francophile, I’m always looking for new ways to bestow my own looks with some Gallic charm. On the cusp of spring, I was particularly interested in finding out which spring shoes French girls are most likely to wear. It’s a tricky time to make footwear decisions—one minute it’s raining, the next it’s glorious blue skies, so I’m always looking for inspiration and guidance when selecting shoes between seasons. In the name of research, I scrolled through dozens of profiles belonging to fashionable French influencers and, after looking at the imagery I amassed during this deep dive, I realised that eight specific shoe styles kept cropping up, some of which I expected, but others? Total curveballs. With everything from classic flats to their go-...
30 Spring Buys From H&M, Mango and Arket That Say ‘Hello Sunshine’
The sun has finally arrived! And not just the chilly, blue sky kind— actual warmth on your face, remove-a-layer kind of sunshine. And all we can say is hoo-rah. We were due a bit of respite, weren’t we? The next few weeks is looking positively balmy compared to all the drizzle we’ve had to endure, which means it’s finally time to start getting excited about spring fashion once again. Yes, that means the elevating power of trench coats, the ease of a simple blazer and jeans outfit, and the joy of throwing on your favourite dress with trainers— it’s all back. I don’t know about you but my over-worked winter wardrobe is welcoming it with open arms. If you haven’t already, this week is the perfect time to unearth your spring wardrobe from its vacuum packs or storage boxes ...
Netflix Is Testing New Ways To Stop Password Sharing Between Households
Netflix on Wednesday announced that it is testing new ways to stop password sharing between households on its platform, including a new feature that will ask users to pay an extra fee in order to do so. “While [separate profiles and multiple streams] have been hugely popular, they have also created some confusion about when and how Netflix can be shared,” Chengyi Long, director of product innovation at Netflix, said in a statement. “As a result, accounts are being shared between households — impacting our ability to invest in great new TV and films for our members.” Netflix will conduct its first tests in Chile, Costa Rica and Peru, where subscribers will receive notifications regarding their ability to add an extra viewer to their account for a discounted price: 2,380 CLP in Chile, 2.99 U...
Ralph Lauren x Morehouse & Spelman Collection Draws Cheers & Jeers
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Nadine Ijewere / Polo Ralph Lauren On Tuesday, March 15, Ralph Lauren announced an upcoming capsule collection titled A Portrait of the American Dream, that blends the brand’s classic Americana stylings with the sartorial heritage of Atlanta-based HBCUs Morehouse College and Spelman College. The announcement was a true exercise of craft, featuring a combination of visually striking photos from Nadine Ijewere and an equally stunning video—both felt more like a time capsule than a lookbook. In the imagery, we see Black people of all pigments dressed to the nines in gear inspired by styles seen in Morehouse and Spelman yearbooks between 1920 and 1950. To call the campaign beautiful is an understatement. Here, we see a sartorial excellence in lockstep with th...
It’s Official—These Are the Best Flat Shoes to Wear With Midi Dresses
Hands up who owns a midi dress? The likelihood of everyone owning one is pretty high considering they are one of the most reliable (note: never boring) items around. In fact, they deserve a place in any capsule wardrobe as much as any trench coat, good quality white T-shirt and blazer does. Sure, there are tonnes of new spring dress trends out there, but when the midi works across all seasons, for any occasion and is universally flattering, it’s no surprise we choose this style again and again. While we’ve been pairing said dress with anything from knee-high Western boots and any form of ankle boot –from heeled to stomper –for the cooler months, it’s time to think about what to wear them with for spring. Enter: flat shoes. Be brave, ankles are about to be bared, and we are...
I’m Calling It: These Loafers Are the Most Stylish Shoes of 2022
Bridging the gap between scruffy winter boots and toe-baring summer sandals, the loafer is the sleek way to slip into spring. And when style queen Pernille Teisbaek wears the particular pair in question with leather trousers and a knit vest, naturally we’ll all want to re-create this perfect pairing. But for now, loafers with socks also get the seal of approval from fashion editors and influencers everywhere. This clever combo is also a way to wear them in, as we all know a new pair of slip-on shoes needs to soften up to be comfy. However you choose to wear loafers, we’re here to tempt you into trying out the loafer trend with Saint Laurent’s style, along with so many more from the likes of Ganni, Gucci, Tod’s and Prada.

The Airwrap Is Good, but These Volumising Hair Tools Give It a Run for Its Money
And with the Airwrap currently out of stock everywhere (might Dyson be up to something?), I have never had more people come to me for advice. In fact, ‘Is the Airwrap worth the money?’ is potentially my most-asked beauty question of 2022 so far. And my answer is always the same. Hype aside, if your hair doesn’t hold an in-salon blow-dry particularly well, the Airwrap isn’t for you. In fact, as a rule, I’d go as far to so that a blow-dry with an Airwrap holds for approximately half the time of a salon one (which, granted, uses strand-damaging levels of heat). Look, £450 is an eye-watering amount of money to spend on a hair tool. If you get regular blow-dries, then yes, the Airwrap is probably worth it. However, if like me you have hair that struggles to old volume, you’re far better off sav...
I Tried On the Best Spring Buys From Warehouse—Here’s What Wowed Me
In my opinion, if there’s a high street brand you should be exploring right now, it’s Warehouse. The British-born brand has developed a knack for creating a variety of pieces that are unique and still work for the everyday. Statement prints ate an integral part of the brand’s DNA and are some of the best I’ve seen on the high street. From statement swirls to trending checkerboard, there’s sure to be a print to suit your aesthetic. Don’t worry, however, if stand-out motifs aren’t your thing—Warehouse is also an excellent stop for elevated wardrobe essentials, so you get truly the best of both worlds. I’ve also been impressed by the quality of its clothing—I’m confident that I’ll be able to wear a lot of what I own from the bra...
5 Easy Ways To Pull Off Double Denim This Spring
Whenever I wear a double denim outfit there’s almost always someone who comments on how ‘brave’ I am for wearing such a bold look. Okay, so I understand the reservations some people might have around the ‘Canadian tuxedo’—most of which relate to a certain Justin and Britney look c.2001 or, alternatively, the memory of a questionable teenage outfit they’d rather forget—but I find that double denim is one of the coolest, and easiest, looks you can wear for spring.
