This Is What the Perfect Skincare Routine Looks Like, and It’s Really Simple
Ask any skincare expert out there, and they will agree that cleansing is the single most important part of any skincare routine. Even if you don’t find the time to do anything else, washing your skin should never be skipped. “Cleansing should be a part of both your morning and evening skincare routine,” says Rayhaneh Zahedi, a dermatology specialty doctor at Quality Health Care Ltd. “It removes impurities, pollution and sebum, creating the perfect canvas for serum application and absorption,” she adds. The good news is your cleansing routine doesn’t have to be complicated. “I have always been an advocate of the less-is-more approach. You just need to find the products which work for you,” says Alexis Granite, CeraVe consultant dermatologist. To create a blank canvas, keep skin irritation t...
& Other Stories and Netflix’s Minju Kim Are Designing a Whimsical Spring Collection
& Other Stories is about to bring romance and whimsy to your spring wardrobe with a special colab designed by Minjukim. The Seoul-based designer, who was the first winner of Netflix’s Next in Fashion, created a playful spring collection of ready-to-wear and accessories inspired by her fairytale aesthetic. In addition to winning Next in Fashion, Minju Kim won the 2015 H&M Design Award and launched her eponymous brand in the same year. Kim was also a semi-finalist in the LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers. “Since Next in Fashion, a lot of fans around the world, including those who weren’t that interested in fashion before, sent me messages,” Kim said in a press statement. “I’m thrilled that the co-lab will allow all these MINJUKIM lovers to eas...
The Sure-Fire Way to Make Your Winter Ensemble Look More Expensive
Is there anything more luxurious looking than a winter white outfit? This neutral hue has the ability to make every ensemble look seriously expensive. It may be cold and dreary out, but your outfit says, “I’m not giving in just yet” and looks undeniably chic. Not only does a winter white outfit look luxe, but it can also be an instant mood lifter—a welcome change to the black and grey hues we’re so used to gravitating toward throughout the cold-weather season. So how do you pull off the look? Steer away from your summer whites when it’s cold out (e.g., lace and linen dresses or eyelet blouses), and instead mix and match plush and cozy cold-weather fabrics and textures such as ribbed knits, shearling, cashmere, and denim. Have fun playing with different shades of wh...
Suddenly, Everyone’s Wearing Dresses With Giant Holes in Them
While I still have some concerns pertaining to sitting and getting out of taxis, I, for one, am all for the holey-dress energy I’m witnessing in 2022. It’s a statement, bold, fun, and 1000 times sexier than the joggers I’m currently wearing as I type this. Perhaps a dress with holes is just what I need to reignite my style spark for the year ahead and to rediscover some of my pre-2020 dressing confidence. If you, too, could use some extreme cut-outs in your life, scroll on to see my picks, from Kai Collective’s OG designs to some subtler interpretations.

Mango Just Read My Mind With These 25 Amazing New Pieces
As a fashion editor, I spend a lot of time browsing new-in sections, which means I can be exceptionally picky. So far this year, there is one brand that seems to be reading my mind and delivering all the pieces I’d be looking for: Mango. If you are searching for wardrobe staples, you can always rely on Mango for timeless, but not boring, designs. Right now, you’ll find beautifully tailored blazers, jeans that have just the right amount of slouch and ribbed knitwear that defies its price tag. Personally, I am most impressed by the outerwear offering, such as the boxy jackets and the navy wool coat, which will always be a chic winter coat. Mango also has some more unusual and striking pieces in the mix, which all have a retro feel if you’re looking to add some personality to your o...
The Logo T-Shirt Everyone Wants to Get Their Hands on This Year
Logo T-shirts haven’t always had the best rep amongst the fashion community, and design-wise, there tends to be a fine line between “chic” and “novelty.” Over the years, the odd cult buy has cropped up—think Gucci’s logo tee—but they often fizzled out once they hit the mainstream. But this season, a new breed of slogan tees has come to the fore, and it’s perfectly exemplified by the buzzy popularity of Jil Sander’s clean-lined logo tee.

Our Favourite Influencers Are Backing These 6 Jewellery Trends—and so Are We
There’s no doubt about it—fashion influencers live up to their name. With the power to influence a lot of us into snapping up the latest cult bag, shoes, coat or anything else for that matter, keeping up with what everyone is wearing on Instagram is a full-time job. One that we will happily do and be even happier to share our findings with you. If you’re looking for something a little more exciting than winter woollies, then let’s talk about jewellery. This is one of the most personal purchases and requires careful consideration, as not only do you likely wear jewellery every day, but it is typically an investment and you want it to really feel like “you.” With the help of some of our favourite fashion influencers, we’ve narrowed the search down to j...
The One Product I Always Turn to for An Unbeatable Glow
The face oil can be used both morning and night towards the end of your routine. One of my favourite ways to use it at night is after my moisturiser as the last step in my night routine to help seal in all the moisture from my previous products. When it comes to using it during the day, it should always be applied before applying SPF. I’ve found since using this face oil that I’m reaching for fewer products during my routine as the oil easily absorbs into my skin leaving it feeling extremely nourished for hours. It’s definitely not the most affordable face oil on the market, however, I found the hydrating results to be instant and if it means reaching for fewer products, I’m all for it. Plus, I reach for this face oil all the time and despite it ...
My Dream Winter Wardrobe Consists of These 12 Brands
As someone who feels even the slightest chill in the air, I consider myself a bit of an expert at assembling winter outfits, and there’s a handful of brands that, from experience, I know work hard to create superior winter clothing. Of course, they also dabble in spring/summer pieces, too, but it would seem they pour considerable effort into honing their autumn/winter ranges. What are these brands, I hear you ask? To stop you from having to find out the expensive way, I’ve whittled down what I view as the best winter clothing brands out there—all 12 of them. Scroll on to see if your favourites have made my cut and to shop my must-haves from each for the 2022 winter season. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Influencers Are Still Obsessed With These Coats and I Can Totally See Why
If you’ve been scrolling Instagram recently you’ve probably seen some of Raey’s coats already. So many influencers are, understandably, obsessed with theirs right now as we enter into the colder months of winter. But unlike other cult items, these minimalist, oversized wool coats aren’t anything new— and that’s a good thing. They’ve been a hero piece of MatchesFashion’s in-house label’s offering for years now, so you can be sure they’re seriously timeless if you’re considering investing. Made from heavyweight wool in classic colours like black, navy, cream and grey, it’s hardly surprising these beautiful coats are still proving so popular with the coolest girls we know. Classic they may be, but they’re also far from boring— most feature exaggerated fits and androgynous tailoring ...
I Call Paris Home, and This Is My 5-Piece 2022 Wardrobe
