I’m the Same Age as Carrie Bradshaw, and I Wanted So Much More From Her Style
At times in And Just Like That, Carrie’s wardrobe seemed to lose its mojo, leaving other characters to steal the limelight. Ultimate boss Lisa Todd Wexley (aka LTW) blew Carrie out of the water with her accessory game, sweeping into a scene with an exuberant swoosh of a giant beaded necklace. Her safari jacket (episode nine), courtesy of Jeremy Scott for Moschino, had the entire contents of a makeup bag strapped to it—bonkers, yes, but it made you hit the pause button. Sure, the fashion in And Just Like That had the hallmarks of classic Carrie—her trick of throwing on a mad, quirky accessory only she could pull off. And making even the edgiest, hardest-to-wear high fashion look easy. Back too, were the familiar style staples that made Carrie so watchable: clashing prin...
Not Being Dramatic, But This Might Be My Favourite Lipstick Launch in Years
The other day, I was tidying up my everyday makeup draw, which tends to throw up over my chest of drawers throughout the week, and I noticed something. Fenty Beauty has my makeup bag in a chokehold. And it’s not just my makeup. My skincare and bodycare have all had the Fenty treatment in my beauty routine. From the Fenty Skin Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream that envelops winter-ravaged skin to the event-ready Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation, I am a huge fan of Rihanna’s product ranges. If I’m ranking her three ranges, it’s got to be as follows: Fenty Beauty is number one (reasons coming below), Fenty Skin bodycare, and then the skincare. The makeup is so good I think I could easily replace all of my everyday products with Fenty and be happy. The onl...
The 5 Skirt Trends That Should Be on Your Radar in 2022
The last five or so years have seen midis dominate the skirt stakes, manifesting in everything from slinky, ’90s-inspired slips (remember that sellout Topshop style?) to form-fitted knitted styles (#lockdownlife), but 2022 is set to bring a more eclectic selection of skirt silhouettes to the fore, and we couldn’t be more excited. The S/S 22 runways were awash with a plethora of skirt trends: Nanushka experimented with a throwback maxi-skirt-over-trousers pairing, while Miu Miu opted for preppier pleats that had a definitive school-days spin. Of course, we also have to acknowledge the storming return of the miniskirt, with Prada sending out silken minis styled with oversized leather biker jackets and COS adding an edge to its bla...
These 6 New Beauty Brands Truly Deserve All the Hype
I love trying new beauty products. What a surprise, right? But after nearly a decade testing pretty much every new launch, I do sometimes get a bit disillusioned by newness. When you receive information about a “never before seen” product range every week, you truly wonder how much newness could possibly exist under the sun, but every now and again, I’m wowed by a delivery enough to rave about it to anyone who’ll listen. This year, there are already a few launches that have caught my eye across the beauty spectrum, from bodycare to makeup, and the price spectrum, too.

Zara Has Predicted We’ll All Be Wearing These 5 Joyful Colours This Spring
Not a fan of colour? Be prepared to be converted. If Zara has its way, we will all be adorned in every vibrant, punchy shade the rainbow has to offer. And we’re here for it. What better way to step into the new season than wearing joyful colours that are bound to give you a confidence boost as soon as you put them on? Sure, the minimalists out there may be shocked and alarmed at the idea of zesty orange, punchy pink and all shades of highlighter greens, but we have something for you, too. Every piece in all its colourful joy is sleek, fuss-free and a twist on a classic. So these colour trends are not as in-your-face as you may think on first inspection. We’re talking colour-block minidresses that’ll look effortless teamed with buttery cream and tan, bright ...
I’ve Just Curated a Premium-Looking Spring Capsule Entirely From M&S
Much to my delight, so many of the pieces I saw and loved in the Marks and Spencer S/S 22 press day last year have already started to appear in its new arrivals. From sleek, go-with-everything blazers and premium cashmere to could-be-designer handbags, good old M&S is ticking off top trends left, right and centre—and all on a relatively lean budget. There are so many treats to be had that I’ve had to control myself, and in doing so, I’ve inadvertently created the ultimate springtime Marks and Spencer capsule. Keep scrolling to see my edit.

These Super-High Heels Are All Over My IG Feed, and Selling Out Everywhere
The It shoes that have been gracing the feet of fashion insiders over the last 2 years or so can be summarised as thus: Flats and flatforms. Whether its Prada’s loafers, Bottega’s chunky Chelseas or even the return of the UGG, comfort and casual appeal has been the name of the game—which is unsurprising considering how much time we’ve spent on our sofas throughout 2020 and 2021. Perhaps, this is why this season the fashion crowd have embraced a heel so extreme that even devoted stiletto-lovers may quail at its epic proportions.

I’m a Stylist and I’m Straight-Up Obsessed With These Comfy But Smart Trousers
‘Boring’ as a pair of trousers may seem, the chic proportions and expensive-looking simplicity of the Frankie Shop’s versions make them stand out from the rest. The two main hero pairs right now are the Gelso, a slightly tapered full-length trouser that work really well with a chunky trainer or black boot, and the Bea, a slightly cropped wide leg that go with every shoe, from loafers to boots to sandals. In my opinion they’re just such an easy way to make an outfit look cool while wearing what feels like pyjamas. I’ve been wearing mine recently with thin roll necks and crew necks which tuck in easily and balance the volume of the trousers, then throwing a cardigan or blazer over it and finishing the look with a leather belt. For spring, I’ll be switching for c...
Are You a Maddy or a Cassie? How to Dress Like Your Euphoria Comfort Character
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you’ll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work. Maddy Perez and Cassie Howard have quickly become our favourite tag-team in “Euphoria” season two. The frenemies might share an on-screen love interest but they have very different approaches to fashion. Do you prefer Maddy’s vampy looks or Cassie’s baby girl outfits? We consulted the show’s costume designer Heidi Bivens, before curating your perfect character wardrobe. “For the costumes in the first season, I really tried to create our own world that was “Euphoria”, but also being grounded in some kind of reality, so that peo...
These Cult Perfumes and Candles Are Worth Every Single Bit of Hype
I think one the best things about the brand, which was founded in Los Angeles in 2015, is that so many of the scents can be paired beautifully; once you work out the notes that you love, you can kind of build a scent story through your living space. Don’t get me wrong the scent is strong, you don’t need to burn multiple candles but if you want to it makes the aroma even more captivating it’s amazing. Persnally, I love to burn Ash and Hinoki Fantôme at the same time for a sexy, woody warmth in Winter. However, this isn’t the case with the fragrance– I have three that I adore, but I have to wear them individually, they aren’t made to pair with each other or layer they are distinctly separate but last all day and then some especially on clothes, my home and wardrobe is basically a cacop...
These Days All I Wear Are Jumpers, and These Are the Ones I Love the Most
When it comes to comfort dressing, instead of jogging bottoms or loungewear co-ords, the cosy item that I wear every single day is a jumper or cardigan. It’s hardly a surprising choice given quite how freezing it has been this winter. Considering they are all I wear, I have been steadily building up my collection over the past few months, with a mix of classic, simple knits and more statement styles that make them the focal point of an outfit. Perhaps it’s seeing myself from the waist up five days a week via Zoom calls or the need for some colour as an antidote to the bleakness of February weather, but I’ve been neglecting the grey and navy jumpers I usually wear every winter and am looking for something a little jollier. My all-time favourite knit is a li...
