This “Old” Trend Is Suddenly So Popular Again
Inspired by menswear tailoring, Chanel created the first iteration of her iconic bouclé jacket and skirt set back in the 1950s, and it has been considered one of the chicest things you can wear ever since. There might be a certain wealthy French woman air about bouclé, but, through the years, fashion types have found fresh new ways of integrating bouclé into their wardrobes, wearing it in jacket form with their jeans, or by way of a skirt offset with a silky camisole. Thus, cementing its status as a classic fashion investment. While it is never too far from the style epicentre, we couldn’t help but notice just how many people have been wearing bouclé over the past couple of weeks, and we don’t think it’s a coincidence. In fact, upon further inspection, we realised th...
This £9 Glitter Eye Shadow Is Trending on TikTok Right Now, and I Just Tried It
The Chameleon Eyeshadow Flakes are described as the ultimate product for glitter lovers. They have unique flake pigments that don’t use harsh glitter particles. Unlike other forms of glitter particles, these are said to be soft, lightweight and comfortable to wear. As for the application? It’s quite a unique process. To begin, you take the Glistening Pigment Mix, place two small drops into a bowl, mix it with your Eyeshadow Flakes, and you should be left with a lightweight glitter mixture. Taking a small flat brush, slowly begin to paint the mixture onto your eyes and build it up as you desire—make sure you let it set until it feels dry on your eyes. I have to admit it took me a couple of tries before I managed to get the flakes and the mix to work together. On th...
One Perfect Pair of Jeans Worn 5 Ways for Autumn
Whether they’re trialling this season’s divisive colour trend, stepping out with the latest hot-off-the-press designer bag or championing an undiscovered label, fashion girls love being ahead of the curve. The moment something reaches peak style saturation, you’ll often see them doing a full 180 in order to hold onto their individuality. This season, this has manifested in the reemergence of baggy jeans, aka the denim style you thought you left behind in the noughties. Sorry about that. Brought on by straight-leg jeans’ proliferation both on social media and in the general public over the last few years, this throwback style has garnered a steady stream of fans amongst Instagram’s trendsetters, who have relishe...
Dakota Johnson Just Wore the Autumn Outfit I’m Copying From Head to Toe
I have to admit I don’t look to celebrities all that often for style guidance. Despite the fact that I love poring over red carpet pictures and I’ll be endlessly enthralled and delighted by what avant-garde A-listers choose to wear for a casual date night (Rihanna, I’m talking about you), in general, I just don’t connect with the über-luxury and perfectly styled finish you’ll get from most famous people in the spotlight. However, one actress who always piques my interest is Dakota Johnson. She has a very laid-back approach to dressing for her public appearances, and while she can dial up the va-va-voom for events such as the Venice Film Festival, she’s equally adept at flinging on a cool jacket, a pair of jeans and flat boot...
The Autumn 2021 Accessory Report: Every It Item There Is to Know
For fashion editors, few things are more exciting than new fall accessories. After months of swimsuits, straw totes, and floppy bucket hats, we’re craving outfit completers that are a little more polished. (Yes, we know polished is an overused word, but it’s highly accurate in this case.) Bring on the knee-high boots, cashmere scarves, and structured handbags. Now that you’re fully aware of the F/W 21 fashion trends, it’s time to get to the specific extras that you’ll want to wear over and over this fall. There are plenty of reasons to continue to be cautious out there, and things aren’t back to normal by any means. However, it’s safe to say that there’s a renewed sense of excitement to do some shopping and dress for the outside world this fall. That said, there’s no time like th...

Give me knitwear, boots and denim over summer dresses any day. I decided to hit up some of the coolest women on Instagram I could think of, whose style I often look to for inspiration. They’re mostly quite minimalist dresses but with a twist, which is how I like it.

In the shopping picks below you’ll find gorgeous jewellery that are sure to be life-time proofed as well as classic handbags that will be great for any occasion.

Zendaya’s Vivacious Alaïa Co-ord Is the Definition of Understanding the Assignment
Zendaya has entered a new, glamorous era of her red carpet style. Starting her series of iconic looks at Venice Film Festival in a leather Balmain wet-look dress, the star took our breath away yet again in a decadent aubergine coordinated set from Alaïa’s winter/spring 2022 collection for the premiere of Dune. According to Alaïa, “She is wearing a bolero and mermaid perforated knitted skirt in aubergine from Pieter Mulier’s first collection for the house.” And what an incredible start to Mulier’s first collection for the legendary house, of which we believe that founding designer Azzedine Alaïa would be proud. Zendaya‘s trailblazing stylist Law Roach also commented on his client and dear friend’s spectacular look, sharing with fans that Zendaya is ...

The 26 Drugstore Skincare Items Dermatologists Would Buy Over and Over
As much as I love my expensive skincare, I do love a good drugstore staple. When you can get an amazing moisturiser/serum/face wash/eye cream that is just as good as the pricier counterparts, why not take advantage of that? In fact, I would dare to say some of the formulas are even better than the more expensive options. Personally, I’m about 50/50 when it comes to my collection of high street and “designer” skincare products. I like to mix and match, and I’m always updating my rotation with new finds. For example, some days, I could use a drugstore makeup remover, daily moisturiser, and face wash but will apply a £126 vitamin C serum. It’s all about a balance, right? But I understand it can get a little overwhelming when you’re shopping the ai...
