I Predict This Colour Trend Will Continue to Dominate Long Into Autumn
While the weather might be less than satisfactory here in the UK, it’s all about the sunshine when it comes to one of the key colour trends of the season. Both designer and high-street brands alike are drawing inspiration from the warming hues of the setting sun, starting at the palest yellow and reaching to the richest rust brown via zesty orange. This is a colour trend that has a shade to match every mood. For me, terracotta instantly transports me to sun-soaked holidays abroad and beachside cocktails, while pale yellow gives me a more polished city vibe, especially when worn head to toe. Starting out life on the spring 2021 runways, these sunset shades appeared in the collections of Rejina Pyo, Chloé and ACNE, with e...
I’m 32 and Still Get Asked for ID—Here’s My Beauty Routine
There’s a good reason that anti-ageing is one of the most hotly contested terms in the beauty industry: While there are some potent antioxidants and scientifically-proven ingredients that can slow down things like fine lines and loss of elasticity, nothing that you apply to your face can totally stop ageing in its tracks. Sure, wearing SPF will undoubtedly protect your skin and keep it healthy, and using a retinol can definitely improve the appearance of wrinkles and skin texture, but a lot of skin ageing is simply down to genetics. I love beauty products, but I have always looked younger than my years. Would I still look young if I stopped using them? Possibly. But as the mother to an 18-month-old that likes ...
These 18 French Girls Always Have the Chicest Hairstyles
It’s hard to put my finger on exactly what it is about French girls that we Brits find so damn alluring. Perhaps it’s their ability to build a timeless capsule wardrobe that always looks stylish or their penchant for a basic makeup product that will stand the test of time. There’s definitely something about their fondness for “boring” basics that’s appealing to those of us who are maximalists at heart. Between classic trench coats and pharmacy moisturisers, there’s something else I always look to French girls for: hairstyle inspiration. Whether they’re stepping out with long locks or short strands, French women always lead the way when it comes to chic, simple hairstyles that look like they haven’t taken any time at all. In fact, a few ...
It’s Taken Me 14 Years, But I’ve Finally Perfected My Camping Capsule
Some of my fondest memories involve pitching a tent and lying under the stars. From summer holidays with my family to my first trip away with my now-husband, camping has always been my staycation of choice. Now, with little option but to explore home soil, many of my friends have come to me to ask what to wear camping. So many, in fact, that I thought some of you might also find it challenging to assemble a practical but chic camping wardrobe. While camping isn’t necessarily glamorous, I have come to find it can be a stylish endeavour. You need to pack with versatility in mind, especially if you’re planning on being away for a few nights. As far as essentials go, I always recommend packing some jeans, a handful of jersey layering tops, toasty pyjamas and cosy socks. (Yes, even in summ...
I Basically Live in Mango, Zara, and H&M Pieces—These New Items Are Too Good
Whenever I’m in Mango, Zara, or H&M, I just feel like I am home (both in the store and online). Each one is relatively similar, and I know my favourite sections—where I’ll find more going-out pieces, where they place their newest items, where the more discounted pieces are hiding, and so on. This, if you ask me, makes me an expert when it comes to the power three. After checking my wardrobe and realising that I’ve acquired quite the summer collection solely from the retailers this season, I decided it was time to do a haul of all the glorious summer pieces they’re unveiling on their sites daily. So if under-£100, extremely chic, on-trend things are what you’re after, please allow me to introduce you to these 26 add-to-cart-worthy items. ...
From Royals to It Girls, These Are the Best Looks at Cannes
I didn’t realise quite how much I had missed the high-octane glamour of the red carpet until last night’s Cannes Film Festival arrivals. Bella Hadid wowed the masked crowd in her Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture look: a stunning monochrome gown that was absolute perfection from its tulle halterneck right down to its fringed tail. It was a real wow moment yet so refined and restrained, too. You can see it from every angle below. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Sienna Miller Just Arrived at Wimbledon Wearing the Perfect Summer Outfit
Big celebrity events have been few and far between thanks to Covid. And I, for one, have missed the glamour. But thanks to Wimbledon, we’ve had a few sightings to placate those of us who are hungry for some A-list action. First, we had Kate Middleton, and now we have a flurry of looks from various celebs including Sienna Miller. The star turned up for Manic Monday, aka the finals, wearing a head-to-toe striped look from Ralph Lauren. But she wasn’t the only one to put in an appearance. Poppy Delevingne, FKA Twigs, Maya Jama and Holly Willoughby all turned up today to watch the matches taking place. Last week, we also saw Bridgerton actresses Phoebe Dynevor and Nicola Coughlan attending. To see all their looks, keep scrolling. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you ar...
From Lily Allen’s to the Queen’s, These Are My Favourite Celeb Wedding Dresses
What is it about celebrity wedding dresses that we love so much? I’d wager it’s a lot to do with the high-octane glamour of it all. Not only are the dresses usually incredibly OTT, but they’re also set against the backdrop of a no-expense-spared day. It’s fabulousness upon more fabulousness, and that’s before we’ve got to the A-list guest lists. In my opinion, celebrity wedding dresses provide two functions: first, for us to gawp at beautiful frocks, and second, to provide inspiration. Okay, so you’re probably not going to fork out hundreds of thousands on your dress, but little details from a celeb’s frock just might give you a starting point for your own. Whether it’s a feather trim or a lace top, there’s plenty to gl...
I’ve Lived in Paris for Years—These Are the Chic Interior Items Everyone Owns
I’ve written mainly about how to replicate Parisian style for Who What Wear over the past couple of years, but interiors and sourcing unique finds for my home also form a large part of my work and interests. I’m an avid interior-design geek and often get asked for my tips, so much so that it’s one of the reasons I decided to write my book, Practising Parisienne (available for preorder now). It details everything I’ve learned since moving to Paris eight years ago and has a whole section dedicated to the subject. And it’s also why I started doing home tours with Parisian friends on my blog, Rue Rodier. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

The 8-Piece French-Girl Summer Wardrobe
You know this already—we have a thing for French style. This probably doesn’t come as a big surprise, as we’ve investigated everything from the pieces they fill their homes with to what Parisians wear to weddings. In other words, we’ve done our research narrowing in on how they achieve that je ne sais quoi, and now we’re diving into their summer wardrobes. French It girls like Jeanne Damas, Sabina Socol, and Anne-Laure Mais seem to line their closets (and suitcases) with many of the same items and follow a few of the same rules. The guidelines are pretty straightforward. First, keep your palette neutral. Stick to classic shades like navy, white, and red, as well as earthy tones like tan and rust. You’ll have a hard time finding French girls wearing anything too jarring like neon....
We’re Calling It: These 18 Straw Bags Are the Best You’ll Find This Summer
The straw-bag obsession can be traced back to 2016 when top-handle wicker bags—the sort that Jane Birkin used to carry—started gaining traction. Fast-forward five years, and straw bags are still going strong, with the likes of Loewe and Chloé cementing their It-bag status with covetable iterations of their own.

I’m a Fashion Editor, and These Are My All-Time Favourite Handbag Brands
First things first: If you’re going to spend big bucks, please do so on something that will last. I’m not into putting down a wad of cash on something that will only look current for a season—my clothes, bags and shoes all have to work hard for the money. With that in mind, I think there are certain luxury brands that are renowned for their top-quality leather goods as well as being able to tap into the fashion zeitgeist and produce something that feels at once current and timeless. Clever. This designer handbag list could go on forever because it’s such a competitive market and there are so many options available, but I have narrowed it down to a mere six to help in your search.
