I Tried 4 TikTok Clothes Hacks—Here’s What Actually Worked
There’s a lot to be learned on TikTok. From innovative recipes to dance routines and homeware hacks, the app is essentially a one-stop shop for tutorials and how-tos, no matter the subject. In fact, learning is such a large part of the platform’s ethos the hashtag #LearnOnTikTok currently has over 200 billion views. As the social media editor that I am, this week, I decided to delve into the world of TikTok tutorials and see what I could learn about clothes. As luck would have it, clothing hacks are quite the trending topic on the app, and it seems like every influencer (and their dog) has an idea to share. There are those who have found umpteen ways to wear a silk scarf as a shirt and others who are using kirby grips to alter the waist size of skirts. Shoelaces, I’ve discovered, have...
This One Product Is Ideal for Those Who Want an Easy 5-Minute Face
However, over the years, I have watched virtually every contouring video and tutorial around, and I have learned that the premise can be easily adapted to fit in with my low-maintenance makeup routine. It turns out following the contouring rule of “3” is quick and easy and can be executed with just one or two products. To nail your contour every time, just create a 3 shape on both sides of your face with your dark contour product—starting from the centre of the forehead, running along and down the hairline, following under the cheekbone and drawing back out and under the jawline. Then simply swipe the highlighting shade over the top of the cheekbone, and you’ve got a low-key contoured base. Yes, it is that easy. And the best bit is I have found a whole bunch of product...

29 Party Dresses You’d Only Know About If You Spent Hours Hunting Them Down
In the last few weeks, my calendar has started to fill up with events. After a long time dressing fairly casually—and a wardrobe now heavily stocked with joggers, bike shorts and slouchy jeans—I’ve had to remind myself about how to get dressed up again. It turns out I’m not alone, because recently, I’ve had friends texting me about the festive parties and weddings on their calendars and asking about which dresses I’d recommend adding to their carts. With that in mind, I put together a list of the best pieces to order, ranging from designer cocktail dresses to affordable finds that are primed for party season. Whether you’re after a classic satin slip, a feather-adorned piece or a barely there dress finished with cut-outs or floss straps, I’ve got you covered. Ahead, shop the...

Adele Channelled Old Hollywood for Her ITV Concert Special in a Glamorous Crystal-Covered Gown
Adele’s ITV special, An Audience With Adele, gave us a long-awaited glimpse into the process of creating her new album, 30, as well as a chance to see some of Britain’s biggest celebrities all in one room together, cheering her on. It also gave us another incredible fashion moment from the singer, who wore a custom black Louis Vuitton gown for the occasion. Styled by Jamie Mizrahi, the black off-the-shoulder dress, which was designed by Louis Vuitton’s creative director, Nicolas Ghesquière, channelled old Hollywood with ruching at the bust, short sleeves, and a drop waist. What really made the dress special, however, was the hundreds of silver crystals scattered across the dress like stars in a night sky — perhaps another celestial reference similar to the custom Saturn e...

3 Major Boot Trends That Will Feel Just as Relevant in 2022
As the runways become increasingly seasonless, so do our wardrobes. This, of course, is aided by the fact we live in Britain, where only a few weeks in the summer and winter feel truly distinguishable. As a consequence, boots have become something of a year-round staple, which makes investing in the right pair so important. Get it right, and you’ll have purchased something you could very realistically wear for near-enough 300 days out of the year (give or take). And it just so happens now is the perfect time to discuss the boot trends that matter in 2021 that you can carry through to next year, too.

7 Party Outfit Ideas for All Types of Dress Codes
It’s almost that time of year again when a scroll through your diary makes you look like a professional partygoer. A pub lunch here, a festive cocktail there, a couple of work parties, and before you know it, you’re all booked up. We’re not complaining, though, especially when 2020 was such a flop in terms of festivities, to put it mildly. The Christmas party season really is the best excuse to go all out when it comes to dressing up. Sparkly earrings and platform sandals? Sure. Metallic gold boots for lunch? Why the hell not? Top it all off with glitter manicures and a blow-dry, and we’re glad of the opportunity to indulge our inner partier. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

No Joke—This Beauty Supplement Made My Skin More Glowy and My Hair Thicker
There’s no denying that one of the biggest trends to emerge in 2021 has been the rise of ingestible beauty products. In fact, when we asked experts at the start of the year to predict the biggest trends in the skincare space, almost all of them called out skincare supplements and products that focused on the inside as trends to watch. This really comes as no surprise. As a lot of our traditional beauty routines have been stripped-down and pared-back over the last 18 months, it makes perfect sense that ingestible beauty supplements that promise plump, radiant skin and stronger hair are growing in popularity. So when we heard that Vida Glow—a market leader in ingestible beauty and the number one global marine collagen brand—was launching in the UK, we were understandably intr...
