8 Denim Trends We’ll All Go Wild For This Autumn
Ah, denim. Where would our wardrobes be without it? We dread to think. Still, however integral to our daily looks it may be, it’s still seldom makes an appearance on the high-fashion runways. At least that was considered to be the case, until a host of designers began giving it the ultimate seal of approval by incorporating it into the catwalk collections. Now, denim regularly appears in the seasonal line-ups of everyone, from Chanel to Dior, as well as the brands known for their more casual aesthetics, such as Chloé and Celine. It just goes to show, that there’s a place for denim, no matter what your fashion preference may be. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

I Swear, This Summer Trend Just Keeps Getting Better and Better
I’d never advise you to double up on pieces you already own, but this year’s gingham offering is so impressive, even our team—who own more than their fair share of gingham pieces between them—are tempted to snap up some of the new styles on offer. The only thing left to cover is how to wear gingham and make it feel fresh. You can do this by buying into the sub gingham trend that’s currently taking over. For 2021, gingham checks are brighter and bolder than previous seasons, with bold green, purple, and orange iterations proving just as tempting as the timeless black-and-white combinations. If that feels too full-on, fret not, for the print is also making its way onto handbags, shoes, and accessories, too—meaning you can tap into the colourful gingham trend without having ...
6 Summer Outfits That Actually Look Perfect with Leggings
Let’s be clear about one thing when it comes to leggings: they’re either a smart item or something that’s incredible casual—there doesn’t seem to be an in between.

This summer, I’ve discovered various outfits that look perfect with leggings and they’re ideal whether you’re looking for a comfy look that’s ideal for a walk with friends or a sassy evening ensemble that’s date-night ready.

The Jacket Trend I Am Certain Will Be Big News This Autumn
I like to think of myself as a bit of a jacket aficionado. It is probably the one category that makes up the biggest percentage of my wardrobe, and it’s the one item that never ceases to pique my interest no matter how many I own at any moment in time. This has meant that I have developed a particular knack for spotting the next big thing in the jacket world (if I do say so myself), and this autumn?

5 Expert-Approved Tips for Your Healthiest Nails Ever
I don’t bite my nails, and I take a bunch of great supplements, but for years, my nails basically didn’t grow at all. Okay, that’s a slight exaggeration—they did grow but only to a little way past the tip of my finger before they’d then break off. I dabbled in acrylics, but that left them feeling weaker than when I started, so honestly, I was stumped. Manicurists would always tell me that I had great nail beds, but while well-meaning, their compliments felt a little redundant if the lengths of my nails were brittle and weak. Thankfully, one of the perks of my job is that I’m able to chat with experts at the top of their trade, and after explaining my concerns to a few nail pros, I suddenly found myself in receipt of a plethora of amazing tips an...
7 Autumn Accessory Trends That Are Already Taking Over
I always used to believe I was a shoe person, until I realised I also equally appreciate bags, and earrings and any other type of accessory going, to be honest. It’s safe to say, when it comes to getting dressed there are no shortage of options for that final flourish these days, but deciphering which new styles to invest in is always a challenge because of the vast array available. It’s that time of year when the lines between seasons are blurred, and with summer sales making room for autumn pieces, it becomes tempting to plan ahead. This is why new-season accessories are a talking point already. While we’re not about to pack away straw bags and flat-forms for next year’s heatwaves just yet, we are ready to welcome items that can transform outfi...
These 19 Marks and Spencer Home Décor Buys Look So Expensive
With everything from bedding to, well, actual beds and kitchenware to pieces to dress your mantel with, Marks and Spencer’s home décor is one of the most expansive out there, making it the ideal one-stop shop for any interior need you may have. This season, the line-up is looking particularly excellent, ticking off classic homeware looks as well as perfectly executing new trends, too. Mirrors and rugs often come with lofty price tags, but at M&S, there are plenty of styles in both categories that certainly look premium but won’t make you feel anxious when you first check your bank balance after purchasing. Then there’s its faux-plant selection, which is perfect for those of us (myself included) who weren’t blessed with green fingers. Ro...
The 3 Coolest French Women Just Told Me What They’re Buying Right Now
We’ve never been shy of hiding our love of how French women dress. Yes, I know it’s a cliché to want to know their secrets but honestly they really do just nail it. Over the many many years I’ve spent on Instagram getting outfit inspiration I can safely say that I return to the French influencers the most. While they do all have slightly differing styles, the one thing they have in common is that they’re all chic. They never overdo it and it’s always carefully considered (even if it doesn’t seem that way). Recently, I asked three of my favourite French influencers to tell me what they were shopping right now. Lena Farl because she does the French Provençal look so well, Franny Fyne because she has such an eye for cool tailoring ...
ASOS Just Dropped the Chicest Version of This Summer’s Key Sandal Trend
The moment we saw cage (or fisherman) sandals on Instagram back in 2020, we knew that they were destined for style success, and, lo and behold, they have certainly lived up to their potential this year. Though in mainstream terms, they are still considered a niche trend, they have quickly made the rounds of fashion’s tastemakers, who have been drawn in by the old-school charm of the style. Slowly but surely, brands have been realising the power of cage sandals and creating their own iterations, and this month, it was ASOS’s turn to bring something to the table. With a variety of colourways and styles, the online brand has not scrimped on its offering, which is good news for those on a budget. We particularly have our eye on the premium le...
