7 Easy Summer Outfits Fashion People Are Repeat-Wearing Right Now
I know, I know—we’ve only had about five days of sunshine so far this spring, and that’s enough to put me in summer mode. What can I say? I’m optimistic.

7 Minimalist Spring Outfits I’m Definitely Going to Copy
Every time spring comes along, I get so tempted by all the joyful prints, colours and ruffles on offer. In an alternative world, my wardrobe would be full of them. The problem is, I’m very much a minimalist dresser at heart— and although I love bright, bold looks on other people, over the decade I’ve worked in fashion, I’ve learnt that what makes me feel most confident and myself is a pared-back capsule full of classics that all work together effortlessly. As you’d expect, then, my wardrobe is full of pieces like button down shirts, blue jeans, relaxed tailoring, simple dresses, t-shirts and knits that I layer up or down depending on the season. By their very nature everything pretty much goes together, but it doesn’t stop me feeling a little uninspired at the beginning of each ...
From Zendaya to VB, Celebrity Makeup Artists Share the Tips Behind Their Makeup
Brows can really frame the face but can be easy to get wrong if you’re too heavy-handed. Celebrity makeup artist and founder of Westman Atelier, Gucci Westman (you name a celebrity, she’s most likely done their makeup). “For filling in eyebrows, it’s good to have a gentle hand with feather-like strokes. Emulate your hairs, and don’t draw lines,” says Gucci. “Wherever you have a gap, it is important to just apply, blend and erase with your brow spooly brush – go back and forth until you have the perfect result,” she adds. And in terms of colour matching your brow product to your brow, Gucci recommends going a tad darker than your hair colour. “It’s a bit of personal preference, but usually I like to say that you should choose a darker shade than the hair ...
I’m Introduced to 1000s of New Brands Every Month, But These Stand Out
I’m sure that at many jobs, an influx of approximately 500 emails per day is totally normal. I rarely feel confident enough to bulk-delete without regret because there are always endless messages I need to check in on in order to stay ahead of trends, launches and cool brands. I’m contacted by countless designers, brand founders, PR firms and marketing execs on a daily basis, and I try my best to support brands that show a point of difference, create beautiful products and have interesting stories. Not every label makes the cut, and the task of editing down what I deem worthy of your attention can be a brutal one. In this new monthly gallery, I’ll be highlighting the best independent brands. They aren’t all necessarily brand new, but they are small-scale enough that...

An Expert’s Guide to Finding a Fabulous Mother of the Bride Outfit
Being a fashion editor comes in handy more than you’d think. I’ve helped friends and family assemble outfits for job interviews, only to be offered the job afterwards. Coincidence? I think not. I’ve sourced sold-out items on resale sites for those desperately seeking them, and I’m always happy to debate more significant investments. Above all else, however, my decade-long experience working in fashion is most valued by brides-to-be and their mothers when it comes to finding not the wedding dress, but the mother of the bride dress. I’ve been a bridesmaid a handful of times and a guest more often than I can count, and I’m almost always drafted in to help with the search for the perfect mother of the bride outfit. After all, there’s a lot to consid...
25 Pretty Tops to Make Any Spring Outfit Less “Boring”
This week I found myself staring into my wardrobe and thinking about tops. As a person with quite classic, minimalist taste, tops are something I struggle with— because all I ever seem to buy is plain t-shirts, ribbed vests and button down shirts. Don’t get me wrong, these basics form the building blocks of a strong capsule wardrobe whatever your style, and I rely on them all in varying combinations when I build my outfits each morning. But there’s only so many ways you can style a white T-shirt before it becomes a bit, well, boring. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

20 Chic Pieces If You Want to Dress Like Sienna In Anatomy of a Scandal
If you haven’t started Anatomy of a Scandal on Netflix yet, please listen to me and do it. The plot is gripping, yes, but it was the interior and Sienna Miller’s wardrobe which really had me compelled. Miller plays Sophie Whitehouse, the wife of politician James who becomes the centre of a cheating scandal which ends up in a trial. “Actors say this all the time, but I really do feel that there’s a story you’re telling through what you wear,” Miller explained to Harper’s Bazaar. “Like when she was power dressing, I made the decision to only wear coats on my shoulder. Weird things that you do as character choices.” Sophie’s wardrobe is an important part of the show, as costume director Sam Perry carefully assembled a capsule o...
21 Medium Length Layered Haircut Looks to Inspire Your Next Salon Visit
“Medium length haircuts with layers are the ultimate failsafe look,” says Jemma Mewies, salon co-owner at Mewies & Co.“It’s perfect because it’s never too drastic, therefore if you’ve had long hair for a long time but perhaps get some anxiety around having your hair cut, it’s such an easy transition. Alternatively, if you’re growing out your shorter hair, medium length is normally an achievable length to reach,” she adds. A mid-length cut is also flattering for all face shapes and still gives you the versatility to style your hair in several ways, explains Jemma. “Medium length hair is perfect for having for updos as well as wearing it down, without being too long, too heavy or too short to put up,” she says. Low maintenance haircuts? We’re here for it...
