A Dermatologist Told Me These Moisturisers Are Key for Plump, Dewy Skin
Pretty much everyone wants hydrated, dewy, plump skin, right? Well, having healthy skin is definitely important to me. After writing about skincare for a while and also just going through life, I think I have a handle on what it takes to keep my skin on track. Some things include eating well, getting enough sleep, drinking enough water, keeping up with my skincare routine, and using the right products with ingredients that work for my specific skin type. One ingredient that I’ve learned can be a huge help in keeping your skin moisturised and healthy? Collagen. “Collagen is the main structural protein found in the extracellular matrix of most of our body’s connective tissues,” explains board-certified dermatologist Naissan Wesley, MD. “It is found throughout th...
And Just Like That, Everyone I Follow Is Wearing These Magical Dresses
The lines of minimalist style and avant-garde design rarely cross, but Cecilie Bahnsen has set about changing that. Founded in Denmark in 2014, this Scandi brand has steadily risen through the fashion ranks over the last few seasons, but we’re of the opinion that 2021 is going to be its strongest year yet. Consistently the toast of Copenhagen Fashion Week, Cecilie Bahnsen’s frothy runway creations continue to make a seamless transition to our Instagram feeds. Looking at them, it’s little wonder the brand’s delicate, almost doll-like designs have won the hearts of the fashion elite. Featuring oversized yet simple silhouettes, beautiful embellishments and reach-out-and-touch-me textures, the pieces are akin to what you’d expect to find in a coutur...
The Affordable Brand I Buy My Most-Complimented Jumpers From
Strong knitwear is at the heart of every good autumn wardrobe, but you needn’t search far and wide to find chic styles to update your existing wares with. Over the past couple of winter seasons, I’ve come to realise that the jumpers I always get the most compliments on are my Marks and Spencer jumpers. And I don’t think that’s a coincidence. Made from quality fabrications with durability I just can’t find anywhere else on the high street, Marks and Spencer jumpers have proven to be one of my wisest fashion investments to date. And this year, there are so many stylish options to choose from it would be rude of me not to share them with you. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

If You Buy One High-Street Dress Right Now, Make It This One
From H&M Studio to Whistles Limited Edition, I’ve always been a fan of high-street premium lines as, more often than not, they really do come up trumps for both quality and design. This summer it was the turn of River Island and its Studio collection which, while relatively new to the scene, has previously received rave reviews from fashion insiders. Well, this season is no different, with the brand offering up a seriously chic edit of expensive-looking summer staples. But there is one dress, in particular, that I have to tell you about.

Small But Mighty: 33 Pieces From the Coolest Independent Brands
Sadly, some of these labels have been hit by the global pandemic, and as a publication, we’re doing our very best to support the talent we love in any way possible. That’s why we’ve dedicated our end-of-month shopping gallery to these independent brands. Honestly, we were spoilt for choice, and we wish we could include every brand we came across online (although that would turn into a long article), but we managed to whittle it down to 33 new season-ready pieces. Of course, we understand that many of you are tightening the purse strings right now, but we would love for you to show your support by giving your favourite independent brand some airtime on social media, posting a nice comment on its fee...

Autumn is here and so are the cosiest, cutest, and most colourful jumpers for the chilly months.

I Swear By These 12 Products to Keep Frizz at Bay, Even When It’s Hot Outside
Before we get into things, I think it’s important to get one thing straight—frizz is not a dirty word or anything that you have to fight if you don’t want to. Over the years, I have learned to accept that my hair’s natural texture often means that a dose of frizz is guaranteed when I’m in particular climates (i.e., hot ones), and that’s more than okay. On days I want a sleeker look, I might coax my strands into more of a defined coil, other times I’ll straighten it all out, and other times I leave my hair alone to do entirely its own thing—but it’s all on my terms. On days that I want to keep frizz at bay, however, one thing is clear: Dry or chemically treated hair (or both in my case) and humidity ...
These 7 Autumn Trends Look So Much Better Second-Hand
If you’ve been following my Second-Hand Shopper series, you’ll know that making vintage fashion a more integrated part of the average person’s wardrobe has become a bit of a mission for me. I know this behavioural change may take a while to shift, but if I can make just one person who was previously ambivalent about pre-loved clothing buy second-hand, then I consider my mission a success. This is also why every season over the last year, I have created an alternative trend report that is shopped out with vintage finds. Of course, as a publication, we try our best to integrate second-hand clothing into all our content. However, I wanted to carve out this space specifically to show that adopting more sustainable shopping habits doesn’t have to mean forgoing that joy a...
This Two-Part Outfit Is the Easiest Thing to Wear This Autumn
Last year, everyone in the know bought up AllSaints’s dresses, particularly its slip dresses that came with a thin knit over the top. (Two of our fashion friends, Monikh Dale and Jessica Skye, seemed to own the dress in every colour.) Whether you’re already on board with AllSaints’s dresses or are contemplating investing in one for the first time, you’ll be pleased to hear the brand has plenty to choose from for autumn, and has brought back its best-selling slips in a big way with a host of new colours, prints, and lengths to choose from. S This autumn, versatile frocks are up for grabs alongside a selection of the brand’s trademark leather jackets. And upon seeing both pieces worn together, we realised that this two-part outfit is not...
It Can Take Time to Find the Perfect Trench Coat—We’ve Just Found 35
The best trench coat is a lifelong keeper. It’s the kind of trusty wardrobe staple you know is ready and waiting whenever you need it, but it doesn’t vie for your attention at all times (or get upset when you shove it to the back of the rail for a few months). It took me a long time to find my holy grail of outerwear. My perfect trench coat arrived early in 2015 when Finery launched, and I scooped up the double-face crêpe trench the brand continues to riff on today. I still dig it out every autumn, and it’s already made a 2021 appearance or two. It’s a weighty fabric in a flattering fit with a slight ‘70s vibe and an overall finish that looks way beyond its high-street price tag. You Deserve to Make Money Even When ...
I’d Skip Every New Trend in Honor of These 5 Basics
As a fashion editor, I get such a thrill discovering fresh trends. That said, when it comes to my personal wardrobe, my offering tends to skew on the simple side with a hefty assortment of basics. When I do go for it a bit more, it’s usually in the form of statement accessories. With all that in mind, I thought I’d bring you a curation of the specific basics I think could be true sartorial heroes in a wardrobe. If I’m being totally honest, I’d probably skip every new trendy item coming out in honor of the pieces coming your way. I just couldn’t give them up and truly think they are the backbone of a modern wardrobe. They’re all extremely versatile and could be styled in so many different ways.
