I Went Deep Into the New Arrivals From H&M and Zara—Here’s What’s Worth It
There are two stores that many of the editors on our team turn to regularly when they’re looking to add a few affordable and elevated finds to their wardrobes. Yep, I’m talking about H&M and Zara.

3 French Haircuts That L.A. Girls Are Asking for Right Now
After a long year of not getting my hair cut, I’m more excited than ever to get back into the salon. Admittedly, I’m not the adventurous type, so I’ll be resurrecting my grown-out bangs, but you’ve come to the right place if you’re itching to try something new. It’s a truth universally acknowledged that French girls are the epitome of style, so why not take a little inspiration from chic Parisians? To get the scoop on French haircuts that are popular with L.A. girls like me, I tapped David Pierre, founder and creative director of The Hair Atelier in West Hollywood, California. The French transplant is knowledgeable about hair trends on both sides of the Atlantic, so I knew he’d be the best stylist to ask. Scroll down to se...

How to Dress in Your 30s, As Told by Four Very Stylish Women
As she is one of our favourite fashion Instagrammers, there are countless style lessons we can learn from Franny, who happens to have an excellent eye for vintage pieces. Looking back, she muses that she found her style confidence when she reached her 30s. “That was the age when I finally found my style, and I’m so happy I did. I just embraced it. I’ve developed a rather effortless, classic taste that I love and that makes me more confident because I’m truly myself,” she says. “My style hasn’t changed greatly, but when I was younger, I was still looking for myself. Turns out, it wasn’t what I wore that changed. It was me and how I viewed myself, which is now more positively,” she adds. “Come to think of it, I’ve always had t...

The Cult Dress Brand Fashion People Are Losing Their Cool Over
With a discernible ’90s and L.A. aesthetic, there’s something distinctly effortless about Rat & Boa’s dresses, which is ultimately why they hold so much appeal. If you’re the type of dresser who doesn’t want to look like they’ve tried too hard—that they’ve just thrown something on and it happens to look incredible—then Rat & Boa’s dresses are the answer. Yes, some styles are more fanciful than others. Its backless, floor-sweeping creations may feel a little too much for drinks down at the pub but will look the part for all those rescheduled wedding celebrations. However, if you don’t have a formal soirée on the horizon, not to worry. The brand does have many creations that’ll loan themselves just as well for...
We Went Street Style–Spotting in Paris—These 14 Outfits Stood Out
But there are a few differences between what’s genuinely trending on the streets of Paris and what we have constructed in our minds to be the archetype of cute French style. Perpetuated by what’s visible on Instagram, it’s very easy to think that all cool French girls ride around on bicycles in flirty dresses with little heels on and a baguette artfully placed in a basket bag swinging from the handlebars. Mais, non! The aesthetic is a lot more casual and urban than that. Instead, you’ll find baggy jeans, plenty of affordable pieces, sports jackets, relaxed tailoring, high-top sneaks (“In Paris, you walk… a lot and fast,” Guillon explains) and a series of Telfar bags. According to Guillon, “Parisiennes are, of course, very attached to bas...
Pelvic Cutouts Are the Risqué Trend Bella Hadid and Kim K Are Already Endorsing
By now, you’ve probably noticed that the cutout trend has reached a fever pitch. The trend started taking hold with the A/W 20 collections and definitely didn’t lose steam at the S/S 21 and F/W 21 shows. In the celebrity world, Zendaya wore an ab-baring cutout dress to the Oscars, and Emily Ratajkowski memorably wore a dress with a built-in G-string while pregnant. Now, Bella Hadid and Kim Kardashian are offering up the latest ideas on how to try out the look. Both women were photographed in Paris wearing different versions of the exposed-hip cutout trend this week. Hadid wore I.Am.Gia’s Carrie Pants (now sold out) with the fabric sliced and diced at the pelvic bone, and Kardashian’s Barragán Amarre Dr...
5 Grown-Up Outfits to Wear to a House Party
I don’t know about you, but after a long 12 months of varying levels of lockdown, I’m loving the fact that we can finally see friends indoors, whether it’s a chilled cup of tea with your BFF or a dressy dinner party. I’m also craving a good ole house party, especially with the loosening of restrictions on the horizon, but I’d prefer something a little more low-key than the sweat-and-booze fests of our teen years (but, you know, each to their own). The question on my mind is, What do I wear to a house party as an adult? While there is no hard and fast rule in this department, I have been thinking hard about what I, personally, would like to wear for such an occasion. In my mind, I want to be polished but not overly fancy, comfortable&nb...
