11 Winter Basics You’ll Come Back to Year After Year (After Year)
You might wish to remain in denial, but winter is coming, and as the saying goes, if you fail to prepare, then you need to be prepared to fail. You can apply this sentiment to many things in life, and your wardrobe is undoubtedly one of them. Before you know it, temperatures will plummet to single digits, and the last thing you want is to be caught out when they do. This is why I’ve taken time out to assemble an edit of non-negotiable and totally classic winter basics for you, to ensure you’re well and truly ready for the colder months. When it comes to a winning marriage of chic and cosy, nothing beats these classic winter basics. Sure, you might already have some of these pieces hanging in your closet or lurking in your drawers, but that’s the beauty of basics—they’r...

The Frankie Shop’s Quilted Jacket Is Already Winter’s Outwear Success Story
It might have just turned November, but as it’s our job to keep on the cutting edge of all things trend-related, we wanted to tell you about the jacket that has already taken over Instagram this winter. Bravo, The Frankie Shop. You’ve only gone and created another cult cold-weather buy in the form of your Quilted Ripstock Jacket. Naturally, the style sold out at record speed, but we are happy to report that it’s finally back in two new chic colourways. And now, there’s another Frankie Shop style to choose from, too—the Teddy, which features the same statement quilting and large pockets as the Ripstop but with upgrades including contrasting plackets.

We Tried the New Jeans Fashion People Are Losing It Over
Jasmine’s review: “Confession: I’m not a fan of most denim. The rationale behind this disdain is that I’m 5″4 and am curvy, so most jeans end up being too long, too baggy, or too tight. That being said, I wasn’t about to pass up the chance to try on Wandler’s denim. Usually, I wear anywhere from 27 to 30, depending on the brand and fit. Since I was nervous about the fit, I ordered Wandler’s black Poppy jeans in size 30. It was a miscalculation on my part, as I found they were a bit baggier and longer than I would have preferred and required me to style them with heels and consider adding a belt. Even though I should have gotten them in a smaller size, I’m a huge fan of their shape because, based on styling, they can become your mos...
From Botox to Brow Lamination, We Just Tried 8 of the Buzziest Beauty Treatments
I don’t know about you, but post-lockdown there was one thing that I was desperate to get back out and enjoy: IRL beauty treatments. Sure, there are plenty of treatments that we can do at home when necessary (nails, brows, and hair colour, to name a few), but there’s nothing like letting a professional go to town at what they do best. There’s no denying that in-salon treatments can be costly. (And for good reason—your treatments are being conducted by a pro with years of experience under their belt.) However, in my years as a beauty editor, there have definitely been times when I’ve been left feeling underwhelmed by a buzzy facial or trending massage—and when it’s your own money on the table, I think it’s important to know which treatments are genuinely worth your time and cash. Thank...
I Just Tried On 11 Rixo Pieces That Are Perfect for a Party
Despite only being on the fashion scene for the last six years, Rixo has become a byword for trend-led party dressing. Whether it’s repping florals for a summer wedding or experimenting with sparkles for the first time since lockdown, the brand’s vintage-inspired pieces never fail to hit the mark. Considering that this year will be our first party season in over 18 months, I thought I’d take a little trip to Rixo’s store on the King’s Road to test some of the best pieces from its festive edit. In true Rixo style, it was a joyous celebration of print, throwback details and versatile silhouettes. The brand’s confetti print is a key theme in this season’s offering and reminds me of the sort of looks you’d see on ‘90s runway models. Speakin...

5 Classic Hairstyles That Never Go Out of Style
I’m not sure that there could actually be a style more classic than a bob. Always elegant and decidedly chic, this simple hairstyle is made famous by A-listers like Anna Wintour and Alexa Chung. Yes, it does require a bit of upkeep, as you’ll need to get your hair trimmed every four to six weeks, but you’ll always look polished and pulled together with this classic hairstyle—whether you wear it tousled, straight or blow-dried for extra volume.

9 Outfits That Prove Everyone Needs a Pair of Knee-High Boots This Season
For the longest time, I only had eyes for block-heel ankle boots; no other boot style got a look in. However, a few years ago, I invested in the first knee-high boots I’d had since my teens, and they were a game changer. Aside from jeans, I very rarely wear trousers. Nine times out of 10, you’ll catch me wearing a midi dress. And after years of enduring chilly calves and not-quite-right hemlines and boot heights, knee boots swooped in and made every outfit (read: dress) I wore so much chicer and more put-together. Fast-forward to 2021, and I currently have four pairs of knee-high boots in my footwear rotation: an on-trend chunky pair from M&S, which I bought as soon as I saw them on editor Emma Spedding; a beige suede option from Sézane, which I invested in hoping i...
Kendall and Katie Have the Same High-Street Shoes and My Full Attention
We’re at that in-between stage when summer’s most reliable shoes are well and truly redundant (so long, Tevas!) but there are days when a snug pair of boots feels a little OTT. What’s the solution? Well, just ask Kendall Jenner and Katie Holmes for autumnal fashion advice because they have both landed on the same pair of high-street flats and seem pretty pleased about it. Vagabond, in case you don’t know already, is a Swedish shoe label that specialises in trend-hitting silhouettes that influencers and celebrities gravitate towards because more often than not they’re super practical and low-key. Chunky flats—whether loafer, brogue or boot—are their signature, but it’s one particular pair, called the Cosmo 2.0, that has proven to...
We Try Before You Buy: The 13 Coolest Coats of the Season
“I only recently discovered Jakke, and after seeing its coats IRL, I couldn’t believe how good its faux-fur offering was,” says Montgomery. “I opted for the Rita in a statement-making shade of blue, as it feels like a more interesting and modern interpretation of the classic faux-fur coat—plus it’s super cosy!” She admits that she found this piece harder to style than she imagined, but that the moment it went on with white jeans, she knew she’d found a winner—it was the perfect fit. “I personally prefer to have just one OTT piece in an outfit, but you could also happily embrace the clash with brightly coloured separates,” she says. As for the vital details to know on this coat, first up, it’s not as bulky as y...
Glossier Just Launched Eye Shadow Palettes, and We Tried Them All
Besides the incredible outfits and beauty looks that we spotted on the red carpet at the Met Gala this year, there was one other moment that sparked joy and delight amongst eagle-eyed beauty editors across the land: Makeup artist Jessica Smalls-Langston took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes shot of the makeup kit that she used to create Naomi Osaka’s crimson-coloured eyes. And nestled amongst the flat-lay of products? Glossier eye shadow palettes. Fast-forward a few weeks and Monochromes landed—refillable monochromatic eye shadow trios in matte, satin and metallic finishes. And as an unashamed Glossier fangirl (trust me—I’ve tried everything), I couldn’t wait to get my hands on them. You Deserve to Make Money Even...
