If You’re Looking for an Investment Coat, I Would Recommend These 7 Styles
In fashion terms, there is something uniquely potent about the power of an investment buy—an item of clothing that is able to hold its value and beauty and keep us coming back for more, season after season. In a world of micro-trends, next-day delivery and more shopping options than one could ever need, the gentle plod of a timeless piece is not to be underestimated. For the weather-beaten Brit, the coat has to be one of the items of clothing that carry the heaviest load in our wardrobes, as it needs to get us through at least six months of the year (if not more) and must be warm enough to keep out the chill while still looking the part. Perhaps more so than other bits in our wardrobe, a coat is the least likely to be swept up in the changing tides of seasonal tren...
I’m Not a Heel Person, But These ASOS Party Shoes Are Pretty Much Perfect
Even before the slipper-clad months of lockdown, I never would’ve considered myself a heel person. Yes, I do enjoy a heeled boot during the winter months, but when it comes to needle-thin stilettos and arch-crippling soles, I’m afraid my tolerance is fairly low. This is why shopping for party shoes has become my fashion nemesis, and with my 30th coming up at the end of the month, I knew I had to bite the bullet. Thankfully, ASOS saved me a whole lot of grief, as it just created the perfect pair of party heels. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Image Source: Sophia Spring London-based clothing brand Kitri attracts a playful clientele. Known for colourful dresses, outerwear, and knits, the brand counts textile designers, cocktail enthusiasts, and style bloggers as #KITRIgirls.

7 Interesting Ways To Style a Sequin Skirt This Year
There are two types of people right now: those who are already in the festive swing and playing Mariah Carey from the rooftops, and those who are not quite there yet.

This Is What the High Street Is Getting Right This Winter

Take Note—These Are the 6 Makeup Rules French Women Swear By
We’ll say it: no one nails the art of effortless beauty like French girls. Call it a stereotype if you’d like, but French girls always seem to have the most beautiful makeup looks. Considering that France is home to some of beauty’s biggest names (think L’Oréal, Guerlain and Clarins), it only makes sense that the French way of life is laced with nods to the country’s roots in beauty. It only takes a couple of minutes of roaming the streets in Paris to spot that French women know how to apply their makeup. Their skin is plump, smooth and glowing, their brows appear effortlessly preened, and their cheeks radiate a flush so healthy it leaves you wondering what their secret is.

Hailey Bieber Looks So Good in These Winter Accessories, and so Will You
Talk about the perfect party inspiration. If we weren’t already thinking about the upcoming events season, we certainly are now. Of course, we’d expect nothing less from Jimmy Choo—a long-time purveyor of the most iconic dancing shoes. Yes, these are serious investment pieces, but they’re also the kind of accessories you’ll bring out for every fancy event year after year. Beiber and her sparkles may be blinding, but while we’re here, let’s not overlook the other half of Jimmy Choo’s impressive new collection, which is much more about cosy winter walks than dancing the night away (just in case that’s more your thing). Come on, have you ever seen a more perfect pair of lace-up boots? (Take a look below, and let us know.) And then there’s the understated Varenne satchel bag, which you’r...
