3 Outfit Formulas French Women Always Rely on to be Impeccably Dressed
Hands up who wants to dress like the French? That’s everyone then. Although we’re adamant part of their innate power to always look incredible is down to the items they wear, it’s also down to how they wear them. Backing basics for decades–from the Breton tee and trench coat to oversized blazers–the women in France know how to put pieces together. And this, friends, is how we can learn to copy their style credentials. There’s a certain way French women always wear jeans, and lately it seems to be with the ever-versatile shacket that’s been loved for many seasons now. And when it comes to knitwear, the French girls are making a case for cardigans (and knit vests) over supersize collar shirts. Proving that basics needn’t be boring, these are the...
I’m Seriously Fussy, But These Are the 18 Best Festive Candles This Year
I’m putting it out there: I’m a candle hoarder. I have drawers full of them. From fresh, airy scents to woody, spicy aromas, I’ve got a plethora of options in my collection—one for every mood. And as a candle obsessive, we’re finally entering my favourite time of the year. With Christmas approaching, I’m gearing up to unwrap all of the most festive scents in my collection and turn my home into a Christmassy grotto. The only problem is that when it comes to Christmas scents, I’m seriously fussy. The idea of filling my room with the sorts of traditional heady, sickly scents associated with Christmas makes me want to run for the hills. I like my festive candles to smell fresh and crisp but with a warming (but not headache-inducing) base that makes me want to snuggle up under a blank...
J.Lo and Alessandra Ambrosio Endorse the “Risky” Trend That Could Rival Leggings
Leggings are a wardrobe staple we’re not sure we could ever live without. When you’re lounging or heading to a workout class, there’s really nothing else that comes close to them in terms of comfort and versatility—until now. It’s not that leggings are going anywhere, but there’s a new athleisure trend emerging that may jeopardize their long-standing reign: activewear bodysuits. If the thought of wearing a bodysuit (and nothing layered over it) scares you, you’re not alone. It’s a rather divisive trend, to say the least. But sure enough, the celebrity crowd has already taken to wearing bodysuits in place of their leggings. We recently spotted Jennifer Lopez and Alessandra Ambrosio—two celebs who are seemingly...
I Buy All of My Favourite Beauty Products from This Under-The-Radar Destination
It’s no secret that the way we’ve shopped for beauty has changed in recent years. Cast your mind back to a pre-pandemic world and buying new beauty products online was reserved exclusively for solid repurchases or desperate emergencies. Fast forward to now, however, and you’d be hard pressed to get anyone out of the house for the sole purpose of buying a new moisturiser. As with just about every other area of our lives, we want shopping for beauty products to be a quick, seamless, and stress-free affair. Our days of trawling around shopping centres trying to locate all our beauty favourites are behind us. We want everything in one place with easily accessible information and reviews—and we want it delivered straight to our doors. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you ...
These 6 Winter Trends Are Giving Me My Mojo Back
It’s been an incredibly odd year and a half, don’t you think? Whilst I’ve done my very best to hold myself accountable for both mine and my community’s mental health, I have to be honest and admit that even I, a fashion influencer of sorts, have struggled to keep my wardrobe popping and “fresh”. It might be the climate. The pandemic. New mum feels. It could be that I’ve lost my touch, although I doubt it! It could even be the lack of inclusive size offerings practically everywhere… but we’ve already discussed that in my first column. The answer could be motivation and I often find this happens when the seasons change and we start the transition to a “new” wardrobe. That’s it. Whilst I love a cable knit or classic outfits teamed with lu...
The Cult Designer Knit That Is Doing the Rounds on Instagram
Sorry, chunky boots. Apologies, puffer coats. Colourful knitwear is officially my fashion catnip this winter. Despite not usually being a bright-colour kinda gal, I’ve really found myself drawn towards the paintbox bright shades that took to the runway this season. The brightest of them all? Loewe. The brand well and truly embraced a rainbow of shades in its A/W 22 collection, notably via its knitwear offering, but there was one jumper in particular that captured the imagination of the fashion crowd.

These Lingerie Sets Are Truly Next-Level Beautiful
For the longest time, my lingerie drawer consisted of black bras, big knickers, and very little else. I’ll be honest, I never really bought into the whole pretty lingerie thing, even when I was a teen and La Senza was at its peak. Being a size 32G, my options are already limited. When I did buy anything remotely fancy, I found it seriously lacked in support and shape. That, however, has long since changed. Now, there are plenty of brands creating beautiful bra and underwear sets that cater to every size out there and are encouraging me to breathe new life into my lingerie collection.

10 Classic Pieces I’ve Seen on Instagram That Will Look Good Forever
We’ll always take an interest in following trends, but when it comes to building out a smart, hardworking wardrobe, items that are a little more classic will always take precedence. That doesn’t mean your closet has to be chock full with the most basic of basics, but rather that you start to pinpoint which trends, pieces, cuts and fabrics always come round time and time again. Will there ever be a winter where shearling coats and jackets aren’t in favour? Probably not. Will chunky boots ever go out of fashion? Unlikely, because we’ve come to rely upon them for a) making outfits look cooler, and b) being infinitely more practical than anything else we’ve worn in winters past. Will time-honoured designer stalwarts like Margiela’s Tabi boots or The Row...
These Are The 6 Haircuts French Girls Always Ask For
When it comes to French-girl hair, the philosophy remains consistent: The less you do, the better. French girls have a knack at making their hair work around their lifestyle (another day of dry shampoo? Pas de problème! Overslept? Embrace the bed head!)—exuding an effortless, undone aesthetic that never looks like they’ve tried too hard. In order to pull off this low-key yet chic hair, there are certain signature haircuts (and products) that French women are utterly devoted to. Stylist at Trevor Sorbie Covent garden explains, “French hair is all about softness and care-free sophistication.” To figure out exactly what it is about French haircuts that have that certain je ne sais quoi, we reached out to the experts to get the full rundown on what types of hair cuts we s...
