A Fashion Psychologist on What Carrie Bradshaw’s New Outfits Are Saying
And just like that… we all fell totally and utterly in love with Carrie Bradshaw’s wardrobe, again. In the span of just a few days, the New York paparazzi has been busier than they have probably been throughout the entirety of the past year documenting the sidewalks that Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon have been strutting down while filming segments for the reboot of Sex and the City. While the jury is still out on whether Carrie has the technical know-how to launch a podcast (yes, that’s her job now) or whether each episode will be totally stripped of sass and LOLs without Samantha or whether the new script is any good (a single page leaked, and the world went wild), what we do know is that the fashion is still igniting passion. ...
I’m All About No-Fuss Makeup, and This New Brand Has Totally Blown Me Away
It was previously unavailable to buy here in the UK, so I have had to watch on as beauty buffs around the world had the joy of experiencing Bite Beauty products. Until now, that is. Having just launched at Boots, the concise 11-product lineup now brings the joys of fuss-free, glowing makeup to the UK, and it’s safe to say I’m in love. The minute the range landed on my desk, I put the products straight on my face. I have been waiting what feels like years to try these products, and I wanted to see if the hype was justified. While the base products looked nice, it was the game-changing lipsticks and expert-adored mascara that I couldn’t wait to get my mitts on. It’s very rare that I even try new makeup, let alone fall in love with it, but believe me when I say that every single product in Bi...
Is It Just Us, or Is Everyone Wearing Dresses From This High-Street Brand?
It’s been a funny old year for the Great British high street, with various institutions either going under or being bought out by global conglomerates. Warehouse is one such high-street mainstay that was struggling before it was acquired by the Boohoo Group along with a few other big-name brands. We weren’t sure what to expect from this new iteration, but we can safely say that—if Instagram’s best-dressed influencers are anything to go by—it’s been given the fashion stamp of approval. We’ve noticed Warehouse’s dresses, in particular, have been a hit with the influencer crowd this summer, and we can certainly see why. From statement cut-outs and dramatic colour-block prints to bow-tie backs and chic T-shirt dresses, we have been so imp...
Pretty Face Masks Exist—I’ve Found 20 of Them
‘Freedom Day’ might’ve arrived, but it’s fair to say that face masks will, in one form or another, remain a part of our lives for a little while longer. I, personally, plan on having one readily available in all of my handbags. This is an important item for practical purposes, so I’m certainly not suggesting it is purely a fashion statement, but nevertheless, I’m finding myself drawn to the mood-boosting leopard- and floral-printed varieties that are now available.

A Definitive List of the Shoes Taking Over This Autumn

So which shoe trends are we kicking autumn off with? We’re sure you’ll be pleased to hear that comfort is still very much a priority as far as footwear is concerned—as is durability.

Retro-Cool Halter Tops Are Making Our Summer Feel Like It’s 1969
Late-’60s and early-’70s fashion trends like retro halter tops are defining summer style in London. We’re giving credit to the fashion teams behind lockdown’s most stylish series like The Serpent and The Queen’s Gambit and Instagram’s style set like Maya Jama and Hailey Bieber. Joining the already trending wide-leg trousers, crochet outfits, and groovy jumpsuits, we found 22 of the best halter tops to complete your psychedelic summer outfits. If you’re looking to channel your inner ’60s bombshell, we suggest trying a halter top in one of the vibrant new prints of the season. We’re loving retro cropped tops in psychedelic wavy prints and warped polka dots. We’ve also been lusting after lightweight summer knits, especially the offer...
17 ’90s Hair Accessories We Love Just as Much Today as We Did Back Then
I really do feel for anyone who didn’t experience the ’90s when it was actually happening. I say this because, with the current trends, it feels as if we’re living in the ’90s right now. While those with a minimalistic aesthetic did exist during that decade, what I loved most about growing up in the ’90s was the fun we had with fashion. Cycling shorts were bright, prints were loud, logos were slapped on just about everything, and accessories—oh how they made an outfit. From bubble, blow-up rucksacks to running shoes, accessories were statement, and the more of them, the better. Still, perhaps no ’90s accessory is as iconic as ’90s hair accessories. Before brushed-out waves came on the scene, most of us relied on punchy accessories to elev...
I’m Seriously Fussy About Body Lotion, But These 15 Are the Best for Silky Limbs
But actually, moisturising your body is so important. For starters, it will help soothe any dryness-related irritation and keep skin feeling comfortable. Second, keeping moisture levels up generally keeps skin looking and feeling softer and healthier. But for me, the most important reason to be applying body cream every day is all in the self-care aspect. Taking just a couple of minutes out of my day to apply body cream is my nonnegotiable beauty ritual. Because of this, I’m picky when it comes to my body lotions. They have to deliver just the right amount of hydration without leaving my skin feeling greasy or sticky, they should be easy to apply and absorb in no time at all, and crucially, they should smell pleasant without being too overpowering. Over the years, it’s safe ...
9 Knockout Swimsuit Brands We’ve Discovered This Year
Let’s be realistic here: Not many of us are heading on holiday this year. Due to COVID restrictions and UK holidays being eye-wateringly expensive, plenty of us have opted for a staycation. But that shouldn’t mean you can’t wear a swimsuit. Thanks to an ongoing heatwave, we have quite a lot of warm weather ahead of us, and a new bikini or one-piece might be in order. If you’re bored of the usual suspects, then you’ll be pleased to know we’ve discovered some of the cooler new swimsuit brands that we’re loving for 2021. Some might have launched a bit ago, but the main thing is that these have all been featured on some of the coolest Instagram stars we follow. The criteria I stuck to for the below selection was that I liked it and that I hadn...
There’s a New Affordable Handbag Brand in Town and We’re Obsessed
There’s nothing quite like seeing a celebrity wearing a cool new brand that you’ve never seen before. But it’s even better when you discover that it’s affordable. JW PEI’s bags have been spotted on the likes of Emily Ratajkowski and Gigi Hadid and influencers are also getting in on the act with Who What Wear favourite Lydia of @femmeblk also wearing one of the brand’s coveted bags. So what makes these totes so special? The bags are minimalist in design and never showy, however small details like a ruched handle or a new take on the baguette bag make them stand out. Perhaps its real selling point is its range of on-trend colours, with one 2021’s biggest colours, green, featuring prominently in its latest collection. Or maybe tha...
Lady Gaga’s Cheeky Starfish Bikini Has Us Ready to Dive Into the Nearest Lido
A star in bikini? Get it? Never mind . . . Bona-fide fashion victim Lady Gaga‘s new starfish bikini is so cute that we bet The Little Mermaid herself is rushing to the place the next order. The A Star Is Born actor and musician shared a cheeky video to her Instagram page, confidently walking out of a pool in Malibu while showing off her orange star-shaped sustainable bikini. “⭐️⭐️ Little starZ”, Gaga captioned the sultry Instagram video post, where friends, fans, and fellow creatives weren’t short on hyping her up. The cute, orange star-shaped bikini is Lali + Layla’s Stella halter wrap bikini top and the brand’s Hazel bikini bottoms, both in the colour Cherrybomb. Gaga completed the look with a vintage Chanel gold ID plate ch...
I Love Zara, But These Other 5 Stores Are Just as Good
When shopping on a high-street budget, it’s all too easy to fall for the trend-smashing charms and very regular new-in arrivals at Zara—we’re only human. The Spanish superbrand works fast and efficiently and never appears to miss a beat when it comes to the items we want to fill our wardrobes with at any given moment. In many instances, Zara can be credited with setting retail trends that other affordable stores follow—think of how every brand scrambled to produce a loose-fitting polka-dot midi when that dress took off a couple of summers ago. Right now, the store’s shoe collection is strong, and the vibrant colours on offer are giving many of us the feels, but there are other ways and other shops that provide the same level of inspiration and exciteme...
