My Hair Is Thin and Flat, But No One Knows Because of This Shampoo
A lot of us have our own hair gripes, right? Personally, I like my hair for the most part—it’s stick-straight and easy to manage, which is great because I’m 100% lazy when it comes to styling or using any other products aside from shampoo and conditioner. Most days, I just air-dry it and call it a day. That doesn’t mean I don’t get frustrated with my strands, though. My biggest hair complaint is that because it’s stick-straight, it’s very flat and on the thinner side. It seriously cannot hold a curl at all. I can spend all this time with my curling iron, and then, guaranteed, an hour or two later, it slowly deflates and becomes straight again. The same goes for any type of volume—I’ve tried so many products to get that big, pumped-up...
& Other Stories Just Dropped the Most Perfect Autumn Jumper
& Other Stories is generally known for being one of the best places to go for knitwear on the high street, but I have to say, this season it has really stepped it up a gear. There is one jumper in particular that has caught the attention of the WWW editors, and we felt it our duty to share it with you. Coming with a striking checkerboard print and collared neckline, this knit looks seriously expensive in our opinion. You can add it to jeans, throw it over slip skirts or even dress it up for dinner with black trousers, heels and gold jewellery. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Perfume Never Lasted On Me Until I Started Scent Layering—Here’s the Lowdown
To me, the Holy trinity of layering is shower gel, body cream and an eau de parfum or if you’re fancy, a lotion, perfume and then a dapple of perfume oil on your pulse points– layering either of these ways amplifies all the notes and helps your scent to linger all day. Ever since I’ve started layering my scents, not only have they lasted longer, the fragrance seems to come alive more as the notes explode together and mesh with the warmth of my skin. It’s key to note though that not all perfumed body lotions, oils and shower gels that come in a range with a scent are up to scratch. Many offer the scent but are awful at the moisturising part with a super high content of alcohol leaving your skin feeling drier than before you rubbed it in.

7 Ways to Style a Breton Jumper This Autumn
I love autumn. Honestly, it is the best season. I could say it’s because I love the colour the leaves change as the weather gets colder. Or that all the festivities, including Halloween, Bonfire Night, Hanukkah and Christmas are all the best events of the year. But really it’s because we get to wear great knitwear again. This season, it’s all about the Breton jumper. The Arket white and blue striped version has already sold out (with the blue with white striped version still available), and every time I wear my Baum Und Pferdgarten roll neck Breton knit, I get compliments. The only thing I’ve found with this style of jumper is that it can seem a little repetitive. I’m guilty of jumper wearing mine with jeans and that’s it. But I̵...
These 7 Cult Brands Are Stocked at John Lewis—Yes, Really
If there’s one store that epitomises the longevity and ageless appeal of the Great British high street, it would have to be John Lewis & Partners. We all have our own memories of the institution, whether it’s shopping for school shoes or manically buying scented candles and mugs the day before Christmas. While John Lewis may have a lead role in these nostalgic shopping memories, I recently discovered that it’s also a gold mine for cult brands that you might struggle to find IRL.

7 Autumn Outfit Ideas I’m Copying From ‘90s Rom-Coms
If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent the last 1.5 years rewatching the classic rom-coms of the late ‘90s and early ‘00s. When everything feels like it’s in disarray, there’s nothing more comforting than escaping into a world of clichéd meet-cutes, dramatic proclamations of love and guaranteed storybook endings. As the rest of the world invested their time in dramatic thrillers and cliffhanger-laden series (Squid Games, I’m looking at you) I happily retreated to an alternate reality before lockdowns, global pandemics or even social media existed. And while, the saccharine sweet, completely unrealistic storylines were enough to keep me around, I found myself staying for the fashion. From Julia Roberts’s leather blazer and beret combo in Notting Hill to Meg Ryan’s bookstore chic att...
11 Impressive Outfits You Can Re-Create for £100 or Less
I’m something of an affordable shopping expert, having cut my fashion editor teeth on a weekly magazine that had the sole purpose of showcasing the hottest pieces on the high street. And although my tastes and budget have evolved over time, still, nothing beats the buzz of finding something affordable and stylish and that you know is going to look so much more expensive when you wear it. So, when my colleagues asked me to create an edit of trendy outfits under £100, I was more than up to the challenge. I scoured social media to unearth a selection of outfits I really love, and then I began tracking down the frugal pieces I needed to re-create them. I knew I could (and would) do the homages justice, but even I was impressed at just how many I was able to assemble without breaking a sweat. I...
I’ve Lived in Paris for 8.5 Years—This Is the Dress French Women Always Wear
I’m a big advocate for the capsule wardrobe—an armoire filled with cherry-picked items that, to borrow from Marie Kondo, give me only joy when wearing them. Conscious shopping is something I’ve adopted too in the past eight and a half years since moving to Paris, and it’s also incidentally something I write about in my new book, Practising Parisienne: Lifestyle Secrets From the City of Lights, which is out now. I’ve found that Parisians have a knack for picking forever pieces, are less likely to buy into fast fashion and have a penchant for vintage and pre-loved clothing that they mix in with more up-to-date styles. They have certainly inspired my own style that’s a lot less try-hard than it used to be, and I now invest in pieces that last: elevated basics that I can wear again a...
Scared of Retinol? This New Eye Cream Will Convince You Otherwise
When it comes to the beauty ingredients that I’m asked about most frequently, retinol is undoubtedly up there at the top of the list. Plenty of my friends and family members have come to me wondering whether or not they actually need retinol or how to find a decent retinol serum to start with. For many people, retinol is the one ingredient that feels like totally uncharted territory. Why? If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say that a lot of us are totally terrified to start using retinol when there are so many stories out there about some of its potentially negative side effects. Trust me—I get it. I experienced an adverse reaction when trying a retinol cream for my acne a few years back. And in general, retinol can definitely cause irritation like dry skin and redness if you don&...
This Trend Has Suddenly Taken Over My IG Feed
Fashion loves to deal in opposites. On the one hand, we’ve got a resurgence of the naked dress. On the other hand, there’s, arguably, the opposite of the aforementioned look: suiting. In 2021, suits for women are on the rise. But there’s a particular twist to it that we’ve not seen for a while, and that’s the oversized fit. It’s less ’80s shoulder pad and more Diane Keaton in the mid-’90s. Matching isn’t a prerequisite, but the looser the silhouette, the better.

I’ve Been Skipping Foundation Ever Since I Discovered This Bronzing Mist
Recently, I discovered the power of a holiday glow. Not necessarily a tan (the high factor SPF that we should all be wearing doesn’t really permit that) but a radiant glow. There’s a luminance to sunkissed summer skin that gives me the confidence every year to banish foundation to the bottom of my beauty bag and skip any other makeup bar the odd lashings of mascara and brow pencil. After the sun-kissed, stress-free skin of my early September holiday wore off, I was left with a seriously unperky looking complexion. The type that leaves people constantly asking: ‘Are you tired?’ But after getting used to not wearing foundation on a day-to-day basis I wasn’t ready to commit to going back to a full face of makeup. That’s when I came across the Amanda Harrington Face Illuminating...
