I’m Going to Zara for All My 2022 Outfits
I can guarantee you click on the Zara app/website to either 1) buy a new outfit or, 2) browse for outfit inspiration. While the second option may indeed lead to the first, some of the outfits are easier to copy IRL that others. And there’s no denying Zara’s stylist always know how to create a talking point. With the Instagram account (@awkwardzara) documenting the latest model poses boasting over 64,000 followers (remember the model on a cooker during lockdown one?), the high street site always steps into high end territory with daring outfit combinations. And I, for one, am always inspired by a lot of these. With a new year to think about, I’m in the mood to get experimenting with some of Zara’s new in pieces. So this is why I’ve found seven outfit...
The Surefire 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...
5 Products We Should All Be Using This Winter, According to Skin Experts
There is so much to love about the arrival of winter—cosy knitwear, chunky boots and a palette of berries and burgundies for our nails and makeup. However, when it comes to looking after our skin, the transition to cooler weather can play havoc with our complexions. For me personally, the combination of central heating indoors and biting winds outdoors means that I’m left dealing with shiny patches as well as dry spots. Plus, my usually oily skin is suddenly parched—rendering my carefully curated skincare routine lacking. And I’m not alone in my winter-skin confusion. “Drastic temperature changes and lower humidity levels between indoor and outdoor environments creates stress for the skin,” explains skin and wellness expert Ada Ooi. “This result...
The Mixie Look Is Set to Be the Coolest Haircut of the New Year
Without fail, every year, there tends to be one bold haircut that dominates beauty trend reports and shoots to the top of the most-requested list at high-street salons for those of us feeling brave enough for a change. In 2020, it was the shag. In 2021, it was the mullet. And in 2022, there is already one haircut that looks set to reign supreme: the mixie. “The mixie haircut is a really fun, edgy haircut we’ll see coming through in 2022 and is a cross between the mullet and a pixie—short at the front, longer and choppier at the back,” explains Adam Reed, UK editorial ambassador for L’Oréal Professionnel. “The look is a renaissance of the wolf or shag retro haircut which we’ve seen come through this year, and this look is ideal f...
These Are the 9 Next Major Designer It Shoes, and That’s a Fact
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: I have a thing for shoes. Out of everything I end up purchasing in my closet, shoes always win out as one of the pieces I’ll splurge on—perhaps matched only my bags. I see them as a true staple that get so much wear and can really transform an outfit. In fact, I count some of my designer shoe buys—including a pair of two-tone Chanel slingbacks—among my best purchases of all time. Over the last couple of years, I’ve practically been living in slippers and trainers but I’m very ready to break that habit now that my calendar is filling up with events, so I’m eyeing all of the best designer It-shoes on the market. It’s no surprise that fashion insiders are already wearing some of the most in-demand ...

18 Eye Creams That Actually Work on Dark Circles
Of all the questions that I’m asked as a beauty editor, how to actually get rid of dark circles has to be up there as one of the most widespread enquiries. Dark circles are all-inclusive when it comes to who they target, from my teenage sister whose laid-back approach to studying often results in all-nighters spent at the library to my friend who has forgotten what sleep is since becoming a mum of three. Luckily, there are things that you can do to combat dark under-eye circles if they are bothering you—and one of the simplest places to start is with a decent eye cream.

Every Single Way We Plan On Wearing Jeans in 2022
Don’t panic! We’re not about to sit here and tell you to throw out your beloved cropped straight-leg jeans, or that skinny jeans are over. Because first and foremost denim, whatever form it comes in, is a classic. Certain shapes shift up and down fashion’s most-wanted list— but then they come back around again before you know it. That’s why it pays to invest in the shapes and brands that work for you and your body, and always keep hold of the styles you love, no matter what’s ‘in’ right now. That doesn’t mean, of course, that denim trends don’t exist. Each year brings with it some sort of newness, whether that’s subtle updates to a classic jean shape, the return of an old cut, or the introduction of a whole new fit. So while we’ll definitely still be wearing our ‘bread and butter...
6 Y2K Outfits We Want to Wear Right Now
If I think back to the year 2000, 10-year-old me would have been wearing skin-tight pedal pushers, a cropped T-shirts and butterfly hair clips. And my 16-year old sister would have already been trying out pleated mini skirts, tie-front tops and sporting a baguette bag at all times. It’s safe to say, Y2K fashion was a wild time where practically anything goes. And while millennials would most likely leave many of the fashion trends firmly in that decade, the Gen Z crowd have other ideas. We can all thank Tik Tok for the revival of low-slung jeans (sob), along with Paris Hilton’s most-loved look: velour tracksuits. While I won’t be trying either of these any time soon, there are some trends I feel like I missed out of seeing as I wasn’t an experimental ...
I’m Having a Wardrobe Refresh for 2022 and Keeping These Items
I know the whole ‘new year, new me’ thing is a cliché, but when it comes to my wardrobe I’ve been really feeling the urge to give it a good old cleanse lately. Since that feeling coincided with the start of a new year, I thought it was the perfect excuse to step back and take stock of what I really wear, and what pieces are just gathering dust. It may have something to do with the fact that I recently turned 30 and moved house, but it’s also become obvious (since working from home more regularly) that I don’t wear half my clothes anymore. So a tighter capsule edit of perfect pieces is going to clear some much needed storage space and make getting dressed in the mornings a lot easier. And I know I’m not alone in this— every friend I mentioned my new year intentions to, fashion gir...
6 Easy Hairstyles That Will Make Your Hair Look So Much Healthier
I’m always guilty of overdoing it with the hair styling at the end of the year with Christmas and New Year’s (and my birthday) by January my strands are a shred of their former self. So, at the beginning of the year, I’m always looking for easy hairstyles that don’t require too much manipulation as I try to stop using high heat and pulling and tugging my hair into harsh styles. The other reason for this is that I truly cannot be bothered, I want to relax and ease into the year. For January, the mission for my tired-out locks and tired-out brain is creating the simplest styles that still look cool as ever. I asked some top stylists their favourite easy styles and tips for overworked hair and I now have a catalogue of looks to pick from– here are my favourites. You Deserve to Make ...
