8 Cold-Weather Outfits That Will Bring You Joy This November
If the recent past has taught us anything, it’s that you need to squeeze as much joy as possible out of your daily activities. Right now, that probably means doing things like making your favourite dinners on repeat and lighting your favourite candle to cosy into the darker evenings. For me, it also means wearing clothing that actually makes me happy. For example, on days when my energy feels depleted, I like to reach for an oversize red cardigan that’s just as cosy as it is fun. I’m also a fan of wearing a leopard-print dress or skirt—even if I stay in all day. I looked to some of my favourite influencers to see what they’re wearing right now. Not only will these outfits battle the colder weather, but they also might give you a rush of...
I Live in Dresses, and These Are the 5 Trends I’ll Wear Well Into 2022
You only need to have a quick scan of a tube platform or any shopping centre to see that midi dresses have become an easy uniform for British women. They are a reliable outfit in one and make you feel polished, even on those mornings when you only have five minutes to get ready. In winter, they can be a little trickier to style, however, because you have to think about the length of your coat, whether it goes with a couple of layers of knitwear and what boots you can wear with said dress. There are five dress trends this winter that make all these styling questions a little easier, and you’re going to see a lot of this month and beyond. If comfort is what you are into, then look no further than the jumper dress, which now comes in so many stylish iterations, dispelling the myth that ...
I Tried On Every Party Item I Could Find—These 20 Impressed Me
Once we hit November 1, in my book, it’s officially party season! It’s when we all seem to have recovered from the initial doom and gloom of our post-summer-holiday slump, and we’ve stocked up on winter warmers to keep us looking chic through the colder months. But whilst I love a great coat and cosy knit, it doesn’t get much better than party dressing. Anyone who knows me well knows I am a magpie for a standout party outfit. Why settle for anything less when you can be dripping in sequins, flouncing in frills, and… Well, you get my drift. And whilst it might seem a little hasty to be shopping for party outfits already, there are only a limited number of weeks in the run-up to the festive season, so you might as well make the most of them, as it’s often the first party-dress...
10 Nail Ideas We Are Truly Obsessed With Right Now
While it’s technically still autumn, in typical UK style, it feels as though we’re done with our two-week-long season of crisp air and crunchy leaves. In fact, it feels like we’ve fast-forwarded straight to winter. Yep, with darkness looming at 4 p.m. and temperatures dropping into single figures, it’s safe to say we’re gearing up for winter already. And if we’re quite honest, winter isn’t the season for us. Sure, when it comes to fashion, colder months can seem enticing (what is there not to like about cashmere knits and chic coats?), but winter has a wicked way of messing with our beauty routines. From turning that summer-skin glow red and irritated to drying and breaking our sun-kissed strands, winter knows how...
Angelina Jolie Constantly Rotates These 7 Classic Items
Angelina Jolie doesn’t need to tell us that she doesn’t care about fashion trends for us to know that she probably doesn’t care about them. The writing is on the wall. Every time she steps out of the house, she wears some combination of classic pieces, many of which she’s worn before. Although much of what Jolie wears is designer, the pieces are so simple and classic that it’s fairly easy to copy her outfits. As far as Jolie’s aesthetic goes, you’ve probably noticed that she wears a lot of neutrals, loose yet tailored silhouettes, and timeless accessories. If you looked at her outfits 30 years from now, you probably wouldn’t even be able to name the decade in which she wore them. They’re that timeless. Even if your ...
Swap, Sell, Donate: Meet The Brands Making Your Next Wardrobe Clear Out A Breeze
If the changing of the seasons has left you in the mood for a wardrobe refresh, you’ve come to the right place. With autumn well and truly here, you might feel the need to Marie Kondo your closet, clearing out items that you no longer wear to make space for others that will “spark joy.” Though in our increasingly eco-conscious world, the concept of a closet clear out feels a little dated as we’re longer inclined to just dispose of our pre-loved items. No, now it’s all about finding a new home for them. Enter Bandi, Nuw and Thrift+. Three companies that are helping to change the way we think about pre-loved clothes. From swapping your old favourites for items that are new to you, to selling your second-hand gems in exchange for credits or vouchers, there are so many new ways ...
Caroline Hirons on the Skincare Rules You Should Actually Pay Attention To
“The moisturiser you should use is very much down to your age and skin type. It’s also down to the weather. If it’s sunny out, go with something lighter. If it’s freezing cold outside and your cheeks are getting red, then you want a moisturiser with ceramides. Most moisturisers, unless you’re heavy-handed, will last a season. When the season changes, change your moisturiser. “When I received Sunday Riley ICE Ceramide Moisturizing Cream, I noticed it smells of marzipan, and I hate marzipan, so I didn’t use it. That was stupid because the smell dissipates really quickly, and it’s a beautiful formula. That one is great for winter, and for summer, Sunday Riley C.E.O. C+E Antioxidant Protect + Repair is great. Having said that, you can buy affordable moisturisers in the p...
These 10 Colour Correctors Practically Magic Away Dark Circles
If you’ve ever dealt with dark circles under your eyes, you know the struggle is real. It’s hard to mask the darkness in a way that looks natural and flawless.

Pride of Britain Awards 2021: See All the Glamorous Celebrity Fashion From the Red Carpet
After going virtual last year, the Pride of Britain Awards returned in 2021 with an in-person ceremony held at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London.

8 Trend-Free Outfit Ideas We’re Stealing From Celebrities
You may recall that about a month ago, Meghan Markle descended upon NYC. And just like the old days, everyone lost it over everything she wore. One of those outfits was completely trend-free. She doesn’t live a trend-free life, but this particular outfit was as classic as it gets. And it got us thinking about trend-free outfits in general. Sometimes you just want to keep it simple and classic. Celebs clearly feel the same, as there are lots of trend-free celeb outfit examples out there in addition to Markle. But as a disclaimer, we agree that some of the outfits below contain some trendy elements (like Mindy Kaling’s sparkly Area sweatshirt), but you can easily swap those items out for something even more simple. Scroll on for everything you need to create eight easy,...
11 Winter Basics You’ll Come Back to Year After Year (After Year)

When it comes to a winning marriage of chic and cosy, nothing beats these classic winter basics.
