Kate Middleton Rewore Her Favourite Winter Coat for Remembrance Day
With its epaulettes detailing, regal navy, red and white colourway, and smart fit, Kate Middleton‘s classic winter coat was an elegant and fitting choice for commemorating Remembrance Day today in the centre of London. As is tradition, the Royal Family attended the Remembrance Day service at The Cenotaph, and despite the Queen being noticeably absent due to a sprained back, the Duchess of Cambridge held a central position in the balcony alongside Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and Sophie, Duchess of Wessex. All had oversized poppies pinned to their winter coats and the trio also chose subtle drop earrings, however, it was Camilla and Catherine who opted in for oversized black hats. Camilla’s was adorned with ostrich feathers, while Catherine’s was a little more pared ...
My Friend Wanted My Thoughts on What to Buy at H&M—I Said These Pieces
H&M is often a go-to shop for many due to its wide arrange of items, including basics and trend-driven pieces. In fact, one of my good friends considers the retailer to be one of her staples when she’s looking to add a few fresh items into her wardrobe. On that note, she recently asked me for my thoughts on some of the new H&M items I’m personally loving that she might be into as well. I ended up texting her six key pieces that I think could work well given their versatile and forward nature. Essentially, I think the edit could pair quite nicely with other basics in her closet. Intrigued? Keep scrolling to check out the six items in question. I pulled out a range of other items that could pique your interest as well. You Deserve to Make Mon...
These 11 Elite Winter Outfit Ideas Simply Can’t Be Beaten
To create cute winter outfits; that’s the goal, isn’t it? We all want to navigate the season stylishly, but we think we’re also in agreement when we say that we don’t want to risk getting a cold in the process. So, chic and cosy outfits are what we’re collectively striving to acheive. The thing is, assembling them isn’t always easy, especially if you’ve already got a winter outfit formula you rely on. However, if you’re looking for some fresh ideas to get you started, you’ve come to the right place. Below we’ve assembled a wide array of looks that tick the cute winter outfit box. Courtesy of a handful of our favourite influencers, these outfits not only come with the fashionable seal of approval, but those on our te...
Derms Always Recommend This Serum for Pigmentation, Dryness, Acne, and Wrinkles
It also works even better when paired with certain other ingredients. “It can work well with niacinamide, which is soothing on the skin and helps to reduce sensitivity and irritation,” Garshick says. “Similarly, it pairs well with hyaluronic acid to help boost moisture and reduce any potential dryness or irritation.” Obviously, this all sounds good and dandy, but these ingredient pairings are especially key if you have sensitive skin. Chemical exfoliants can be drying and potentially irritating if you aren’t used to them yet, so when selecting the right glycolic acid product for you, you’ll want to make sure it has another moisturising agent in it. There are so many ways to incorporate this super-effective ingredient into your ro...
Ariana Grande Has Finally Launched r.e.m.beauty—Here’s What’s Worth Buying
The first part of the brand name may indeed sound familiar as it shares the same name as her song R.E.M. from her Sweetener album. REM also stands for rapid eye movement which is a unique phase of sleep that really focuses on dreams and the eyes and Ariana has really managed to achieve that meaning through her beautifully curated line. The first drop from r.e.m. beauty is titled Chapter 1: Ultraviolet with all products being 100% vegan and cruelty-free. Ariana really has created one of the dreamiest collections with high-performing and innovative products for the eyes, face and lips. And not to be biased (as I’m a complete Ari stan) but it’s easy to see how much love, passion and hard work has gone into creating r.e.m. beauty. Products ra...
6 Outfits Our Fashion Editors Can’t Wait to Wear This Winter
As a fashion editor, I’m used to being asked what to wear to specific occasions or at different times of the year by friends and family. What should I wear to a wedding at a registry office? What do I pack for a city break? What shoes should I bring for a weekend in the country with my boyfriend’s parents? These are all questions my inner circle has presented me with over the past couple of months, and I’m always happy to oblige and talk shop. And the sartorial dilemma I know they’ll be asking me about next? Winter. Getting dressed in winter isn’t easy—it takes a lot of practice to get your outfits just right. Some people love layering, while others prefer to hone their looks to a couple of key pieces, and it can take a while to work out which category you fall into. This m...
These 7 Shoes Will Elevate Every Outfit You Wear This Winter
In the summer months, I rarely buy new shoes. I tend to flit between two pairs of sandals—one black, one tan—and that generally sees me through. Winter, however, is where I make up for lost time. With unpredictable weather practically guaranteed, winter generally calls for more seasonally appropriate footwear options to see you through everything from impromptu showers to full-on snow days. Throw party season in the mix, and it would appear you need everything, from any-terrain boots to sparkly heels, to meet winter’s shoe requirements. Of course, you might have enough pairs in your existing collection to get you through, but there are a few key winter shoe trends updates you should at least be aware of for 2021. You don’t need to be a psychic to know there are plenty...
This Balm Is Over 90 Years Old, and Everyone I Know Still Loves It
Created by Elizabeth Arden herself, the balm is a blend of vitamin E and petrolatum that was specially created to soothe the skin of clients at her Red Door salon in New York. In line with Arden’s ethos on all things beauty, it was specially formulated to actually do good to the skin—healing it from the outside rather than just masking the problem like many other cosmetics at the time. Legend has it that the name came about when one of Arden’s regular clients used the balm to treat her child’s grazed knee. Eight hours later, the skin was healed, Arden had a name for her product and a beauty best seller was born. Whether you buy the anecdote behind the ointment or not, there’s no disputing that this restorative balm has been used to troubleshoot a multitude of b...
6 Hair Colour Ideas to Show Your Hairdresser

Whether your hair is long or short, thick or thin, straight or curly, we’ve got all of the winter hair colour inspiration you need.

I Went to H&M, and These 11 Pieces Really Stood Out to Me
It’s been a while since I’ve thoroughly combed through what H&M has to offer, so this week, I visited a few of the stores to get a feel of its new pieces. Having worked in retail for the brand for a couple of years in the past, I noticed that H&M’s style has drastically changed. It used to lean more into bold colours and patterns, but now it’s gravitated towards a more simplistic approach. I was really struck by the dominant neutral colour palette. When it comes to specific categories, its coat game is pretty strong this year. I found myself being drawn to the outerwear pieces the most. It has a good variety when it comes to styles from quilting to more structured tailoring. Here are a few of the current pieces that I would love to add to my wardrobe. You ...
And Just Like That… There Are a Lot More Carrie Outfits to Obsess Over
I don’t know about you, but I spent last night watching the first episode of the new Gossip Girl reboot. Now, we have yet another revival to look forward to because the new Sex and the City show officially began filming in New York City. That’s right: Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte are back in action and wearing some very on-brand outfits for each of their characters. (Sadly, Samantha will not be part of the new spin-off, and her sassy ensembles and witty one-liners will be sorely missed.) Big has just made his first appearance, and it’s intriguing to see what Carrie wears alongside him, a feathered headpiece reminiscent of her wedding day? Hmm. Thanks to paparazzi images, we have the very first look at what the ladies are wearing in the show, which will be calle...
