The Celeb-Approved Dresses That Are Taking Over Instagram
There’s nothing the fashion set love more than a supremely extra party dress, and while The Vampire’s Wife has held the top spot for a few years now, we have a feeling that new entry Taller Marmo might just be about to steal the spotlight. Named after the Spanish word Taller, meaning workshop or studio, and Marmo, the Italian word for marble, the Milan-based label was founded in 2013 by designers Riccardo Audisio and Yago Goicoechea. With its distinctively nostalgic spirit, Taller Marmo specialises in luxurious eveningwear, specifically kaftan silhouettes that hark back to pieces worn by the likes of Elizabeth Taylor and Sophia Loren in the 1960s and ’70s.

From Arket Blazers to Frankie Shop Puffers: The 8 Buys That Kept Selling Out
We’ve seen all manner of shopping behavioural shifts come into play over the course of 2021. From the rise of online shopping to the growth of resale, it’s been fascinating to watch the ways in which the public has adjusted to the ‘new normal’. As an online magazine, we’re lucky enough to get in-depth insights into these changes, both from speaking to other experts, but also through our own data. Having kept track of sales and trends over the course of the year, I am happy to report that last year’s penchant for elevated basics has remained, with many high-street stores re-releasing popular premium staples that, clearly, have stayed in high-demand. It’s so encouraging to see high-street brands focusing on higher-qualit...

You’ve Probably Binged Emily In Paris 2 Already— Let’s Talk About The Outfits
It’s back! After what seemed like the longest wait, Emily has finally returned to Paris and our screens for a second season. Landing on Netflix last Wednesday, we’re presuming you’ve already binged at least some of it— or perhaps you’re saving it for that cosy lull in between Christmas and New Year to really enjoy it (totally understandable— and don’t worry, there’s no spoilers here). Either way, we all know it’s not Gabriel you’re watching it for (okay, a little bit Gabriel)— but mostly it has to be the outfits. Emily’s wardrobe may have divided opinion in the first season but whether you love her flamboyant style or loathe it, no one can deny the genius of the show’s costume consultant (and Sex and the City veteran) Patricia Field. From Emily’s bright and bold...
Everyone Loved This Brand in 2021, and It’s Not Going Anywhere for 2022
There isn’t a fashion girl we know who didn’t purchase or want a piece of Totême’s magic in their wardrobe this year. It was hard to avoid seeing the Stockholm-based brand all over our feeds—everyone from our favourite influencers to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (a long-time fan) and even Kourtney Kardashian was seen sporting the brand. Undoubtedly the label of 2021, it’s easy to see why. Our approach to dressing definitely shifted this year towards classic basics and seasonal staples more than ever before. It has, of course, been slowly happening for a while, but now more than ever, people are making considered purchases with sustainability and longevity in mind. And that’s exactly what Totême does best. Founded by fashion blogger Elin Kling in 2014, the brand...
Kate Middleton Does Christmas Day Outfits So Well—Here Are Her Best
If the Duchess of Cambridge knows anything, it’s how to put together a Christmas Day outfit. Not that we’d expect anything less from Kate, but ever since her first appearance in 2011 with the royals at their traditional Christmas morning church visit, the duchess has been getting it right year after year, serving us some serious festive-dressing inspiration when we need it most. Like any good winter outfit, her looks always centre around a statement coat that says cosy but refined. Sometimes she pairs her outerwear with suede boots or classic courts, and there’s nearly always a fabulous headpiece, her go-to drop earrings and a hint of faux fur. As the duchess settled into royal life, her Christmas Day outfits only got better and better. You only nee...
How to Wear Y2K as a 30-Year-Old Without Looking Like Your Teenage Self
No matter how much we might joke about its return in our grown-up WhatsApp groups, the truth is Y2K culture has permeated the world of fashion so much this year that even we 30-year-olds are coming round to the idea. The nostalgia is real right now, with Carrie Bradshaw back on our screens, Britney Spears back in action, Paris Hilton getting married and even Lindsay Lohan returning to acting. So as the popular adage goes, if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. But how do we do it in an age-appropriate way? Well, there are certain trends we should be leaving well and truly behind us—Von Dutch hats and pubic bone–skimming Miss Sixty jeans included. But believe it or not, there are ways to navigate Y2K trends into your current wardrobe without looking like your teen...
8 Easy Outfits Every Fashion Person Should Try This Winter
Getting dressed can be a struggle at the best of times. Throw in the fact that it’s dark, cold and gloomy outside, and pulling yourself out of bed in the morning to choose an outfit is likely the last thing you want to do.

In fact, you can likely compile with items that already exist in your wardrobe. They c...
Why The Super Salon Will Be the Biggest Beauty Destination of 2022
This year, beauty came back. After over a year (on and off) of not being able to visit our favourite salons, spas and clinics for our usual beauty pick-me-ups, their return was welcomed with open arms. Because sure, while learning how to do our nails, hair and waxing at home was fun for a little while, the truth is, going to the salon for a beauty treatment is an experience you just can’t recreate at home. Having said that, since beauty has opened back up, it’s safe to say that the way in which we want to spend our time has changed. Pre-pandemic, many of us wouldn’t have batted an eyelid at the prospect of running around town, hopping from salon to salon to tick off our beauty chores. Nowadays, however, we want convenience. Not only do we want to minimise the amount of indoo...
