Short-Lived Perfume Is the Worst, so I Found 18 That Will Last All Day
Anticipating the turn of the season always sparks a bit of fragrance restlessness for us beauty editors. Perhaps it’s because we’re constantly taking mental notes of the scents our favourite fashion girls are wearing, or perhaps it’s just that our gigantic fragrance collections have us on an endless rotation through the chic tonics on our vanities. Whatever the case may be, long-lasting perfumes that can keep up with our busy schedules are of the utmost importance. With days that sometimes start with breakfast meetings, get punctuated with Zoom calls, and end with happy hour, we need fragrances that will still be going strong for our that second glass of pinot grigio. Luckily, long-lasting fragrances abound! From pretty florals to enveloping musks and earthy scents t...
Finally, a Range of Great High-Street Boots That Actually Fit My Calves
I still remember the embarrassment all these years later. I was about 15 years old and was shopping with my mum (still my number one person for an honest opinion), and I got stuck in a pair of black suede boots from Schuh. I so desperately wanted them to fit around my calves, so I squeezed every last centimetre of life out of the side zip and then couldn’t get out of them. Panic, a hot flush and an emergency payment ensued. I eventually managed to get the boots stretched at a cobbler and wore them in a lot, and they ended up being a pair that worked for some time, but was it worth the public shame? Probably not. Fact is, knee-high boots are often designed and manufactured with only the slimmest of legs in mind. I’m only a size 10-12 and petite at 5’1&...

These Boots Were Huge in 2017, But This Autumn, They Have Never Been Cooler
You’d be forgiven for thinking that 2017 was basically a decade ago. Thanks to the past 18 months, it’s felt like time has slowed, so what happened “before” feels like a lifetime ago. This means that trends returning from a mere four years ago seem like they’re from ages ago. The trend I’m thinking about today is the sock-boot trend. If you think back to 2017, you’ll remember that Balenciaga’s floral version was all over fashion week on the feet of various influencers. As a result, high-street brands copied the style, and the trend exploded. Then, it died down. We became obsessed with combat lace-up styles, cowboys, and let us not forget the ever-popular track- and chunky-sole boots. However, I’m here to tell y...
Kristen Stewart Wears a Custom Chanel Column Gown For the Spencer Premiere in London
Kristen Stewart attended the premiere of Spencer at the 65th BFI London Film Festival on Thursday, 7 Oct., wearing a custom grey Chanel gown from the designer’s autumn/winter 2018 collection. Stewart completed the look with Jimmy Choo sandals, steely-grey eye makeup, and a wavy undone lob, styled by Tara Swennen with hair by Adir Abergel. Stewart’s custom grey Chanel column gown features intricate beaded embroidery with clusters of embroidery along the hemlines. The gown is inspired by a similar design, look 22, from Chanel’s autumn/winter 2018 collection, completed with Jimmy Choo “Minny” silver-grey sandals that are now sold out. With the dress being so sparkly, Stewart decided to go very minimal with jewellery — just a few silver rings — paired with a very ...
100% Wool Jumpers are the Best Style Investment You Can Make this Autumn
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you’ll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work. When shopping for knitwear, there’s a new criteria for what makes the cut into our wardrobe. For autumn/winter 2021, we are investing in responsibly-sourced (RWS) wool jumpers that will actually keep you warm, while being gentler on the planet, and better on your bank balance in the long run. Like many of us, I’ve definitely bought a few high street jumpers made from acrylic (plastic) or polyester (plastic) because I didn’t know how harmful they were to the environment. Wool knitwear might come with a higher price tag, but one quality jumper can save you h...
How to Get Rid of Stubborn Dark Circles Like an A-List Facialist
As we mentioned above, dark circles can occur for a variety of reasons, but according to Benjamin and Lee, there’s a specific list of potential causes you should definitely be aware of. “Usually, a red or purple hue to the under eyes indicates irritated or broken blood vessels under the skin, and since the under-eye skin is thinner and more delicate, this can show up as dark circles,” explains Lee. Additionally, she tells us dark circles are often genetic and are especially common in people with olive, yellow, and brown undertones. “Lastly, when someone is dehydrated, not eating well, and under stress, dark circles can appear,” she adds. Allergies and congestion: When you are stuffed up, the blood vessels around your eyes dilate, which in turn, cause...
7 Shoes Fashion People Always Wear With Knitted Dresses
I recently bought a knitted midi dress—a cream cardigan-type style with tortoiseshell buttons and a surprisingly flattering V-neck—and I’ve been excited to wear it. Its arrival was perfectly timed with the current cold snap, so as soon as it arrived, I stood in front of the mirror, tried it on and knew it was going to be my autumn hero piece. All that was left to do was decide which shoes to wear with it. Throwing open my wardrobe drawers, I assumed finding the perfect pair of shoes to match my knitted dress would be an easy endeavour. However, as I started trying it on with my block-heel slingbacks and trusty ballet pumps, I encountered an unexpected stumbling block. They just didn’t seem to work. The length of the dress and its weighty fabrication meant that many of my shoes, which are m...
This Is Why I’m Going to Zara for All My Autumn Outfit Ideas
Last year, I wrote about how Net-a-Porter is one of my secret sources of outfit inspiration. It sounds so obvious, and, well, that’s because it is, but I’d bet that most people wouldn’t have considered it for this purpose. However, it isn’t only the designer destinations that are acing it—the other platform that never fails to spark my imagination is Zara. In my opinion, Zara is one of the brands that top the high-street hierarchy when it comes to autumn fashion, and this is reflected in the way it styles its designs. Obviously, not every single model shot is a work of art, but I find that more often than not, when an item catches my eye, I also fall in love with the outfit. They tread the line between wearable and statement so well. Don’t believe me...
