I Can’t Get Enough of Clean-Girl Beauty, So I Tried It Out for An Entire Week
By day six, I felt confident enough to give a clean-girl beauty look my all. I combined all of the above tests and trials to execute what I think is a pretty good clean-girl look. Is it easy and low-maintenance? No. As you can tell, this took me six days to get right, with a lot of mistakes made along the way. And yes, while this looks wonderful for a quick snap or video, the truth is, the makeup has zero staying power. A dewy base really does require some sort of holding primer or setting spray (which does risk dulling the finish). By the end of day six, I looked nothing like the fresh-faced woman I was first thing. What I have learned about clean-girl beauty is that it likely takes a village. The celebs we see sporting it day in and day out have makeup teams on hand t...
Burning Candles Is My Favourite Hobby—These 22 Luxury Buys Are Worth Every Penny
If I could be any animal, I would without a doubt be a hermit crab. Much like the solitude crustacean, I too find great joy in curling up at home and, if I had the chance, would love to live permanently in such a state. Sadly for me, my job as a beauty editor requires quite a lot of running around from appointment to appointment, and so it’s not very often I find myself with masses of time at home. However, it’s because of this that I have developed a penchant for buying items that really level up my time at home. More specifically, I have become somewhat obsessed with buying and collecting luxury scented candles. The first thing I do when I get home is light a candle. I want my entire flat to be filled with a luxurious, mind-soothing aroma. You Deserve to Make Money Even When yo...

We’re Basically Planning To Live in These 12 Outfits This Spring
Okay, we’re officially confused about the weather. One second it’s sub-zero with sleet, and the next it’s balmy 15-degree sunshine. Seriously, Britain—make up your mind. But of course, this is the nature of spring, and every year we manage to power through the meteorological mayhem and make it to the other side where summer awaits. It’ll happen. We promise. So when it comes to deciding what to wear this March, we’re taking a tentative—but no less stylish—approach and offering up a slew of simple outfits that can easily be layered up or dressed down according to your needs. For example, fashion influencer Fran perfectly adapts a spring-ready leather skirt for unexpected wind chill with a printed cardigan and knee-high boots. For a smart...
The One Pair of High Street Jeans Every Fashion Editor Recommends
If I had to pinpoint one pair of jeans my fellow editors and I rave about the most, it would probably be Weekday’s Rowe jeans. On the face of it they look like a pretty standard straight-leg style– so what is it that makes them so special? Well, the lesser-known high street label (from the same family as H&M and Arket), has really honed its denim offering recently, with every pair, including these, now made from organic and recycled cotton— an impressive starting point. The thought out designs with modern cuts could easily pass for designer, and the denim feels classic and rigid in the same way your favourite pair of vintage Levi’s does. So far, so good. The Rowe in particular have a straight-leg shape that’s a little looser than your average, and a little higher in the...
J.Lo Wore Fashion’s Favourite Flat-Shoe Trend for a Date With Ben Affleck
Jennifer Lopez is better known for wearing platforms than flats, but even she can’t resist the power of a practical shoe trend. Photographed with Ben Affleck in Los Angeles this weekend, J.Lo wore black Chanel loafers, a Wolford Colorado bodysuit layered under a Dolce & Gabbana jumpsuit, a Bottega Veneta bag, and Prada sunglasses. Phew—that’s a whole lot of designer names all in one outfit. Although Lopez’s shoes are by Chanel, loafers are an extremely easy trend that you can buy at a range of price points. There’s no need to shell out tonnes of money to try the look. And yes, they’re very much on-trend right now. Below, I rounded up my favourite J.Lo-inspired loafers to fit different budgets.

7 Trends Milan’s Coolest Show-Goers Are Wearing Right Now
There are certain style cliches that are attached to certain fashion weeks—for example, London being regarded as ‘eclectic’ or Parisians having a penchant for ‘timeless’ style—and while these notions are grounded in some truth, they are not the whole picture. Street style as a phenomenon has certainly evolved a great deal since its infancy, and over time it has shifted the industry’s power dynamics and introduced different perspectives to our screens. There is no longer a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to the style profiles of different cities. This season’s Milan street style shots perfectly speak to the sheer variety that fashion-lovers bring to their own personal catwalks at fashion...
I Don’t Do Heels, But These High St Platforms Are Going Straight in My Basket
If I told you that I found the most perfect pair of high-street platform shoes, I would guess that Russell & Bromley wouldn’t be the first place that springs to mind. Historically it has been known for its well-made, classic shoe offering, but recently the brand has branched out into more fashion-savvy styles: Think chunky boots, strappy heels and animal print loafers. We’re so into it. The brand’s latest venture? Platform heels. Coming in pink, cream, black and silver, Russell & Bromley’s fittingly named ‘Flawless’ style is honestly some of the best platforms I’ve seen on the high-street this year.

I Just Found 31 Perfect Spring Staples From Jigsaw, ME + EM and Whistles
It can be all too easy to fall into a high-street shopping rut, always returning to the same names and never branching out of your comfort zone. Personally, over the last few years, this has meant rarely venturing further than Arket, and while I will always return to the brand’s time-tested staples, spring 2022 has also ushered in a craving for something different. So I decided to cast my shopping net a little wider this season, exploring stores that I haven’t always given the attention they deserved. Jigsaw, ME + EM and Whistles, you’re up.

Every Single Must-See Beauty Look From This Year’s SAG Awards
Amidst an award show and red carpet season that has largely been postponed, canceled, or virtual, we couldn’t be more excited to get back into the *somewhat* traditional swing of things with this year’s 2022 SAG Awards. And yes, just the sheer anticipation of the forthcoming (exceptionally drool-inducing) beauty and fashion moments have us chomping at the bit. Unlike most award shows, the SAG Awards doesn’t have designated hosts (a tradition that will continue this year), but fear not, in addition to the glitz and glamour, there are definitely a few highlights and surprises in store. For instance, the show’s opening will feature “Hamilton” stars Lin-Manuel Miranda, Daveed Diggs, and Leslie Odom Jr. and five-time SAG Award winner Helen Mirren will be ...
