7 Autumn Basics I’m Buying Regardless of This Year’s Trends
At the start of every new season, there are always certain non-negotiable basics I know I’ll be wearing in the coming months regardless of what the trends are. In winter, the list includes a warm coat and lug-sole boots. Spring might involve some new dresses and sandals, summer always requires a trove of white tops and basic linen, and autumn, of course, comes with its own set of essentials—all of which you’re about to read about below. While the 2021 trend agenda has plenty of fun and directional looks to play with, I think the key to having a successful autumn wardrobe is being able to balance out the more of-the-moment pieces with an edit of never-date basics. This will ensure every outfit you wear feels timeless and not too trend-specific. I like to keep ...

I Try Hundreds of Skincare Products a Year, But These 15 Are My Holy Grails
In fact, my skin gets pretty stressed. More often than not, I’m dealing with breakouts, dryness, redness and/or irritation. And stressed skin makes me feel stressed, which subsequently affects my skin even more. And so, I live in a perpetual cycle of stressed-out skin concerns. As a result, we beauty journalists tend to have a stash of products that we reach for any time our skin starts getting stressed out. We keep cleansers, serums and moisturisers on hand that we know can’t possibly do our skin any further damage, giving it just the right amount of nourishment it needs in order to find its feet again. Whether my complexion is dry and sore or spotty and congested, these are the skincare products I turn to when my skin is stressed. You Deserve to Ma...
I Asked Over 2000 Women Where to Buy the Best White Shirts—They Rate These 14
The term “effortlessly chic” gets thrown around a lot in fashion. In reality, these two words are rarely applicable. What about when it comes to the white shirt? Absolutely. No matter what sort of budget you have or what kind of sense of style, the white shirt is the ultimate wardrobe staple. Is there anything else so simple yet so chic? It’s so easy to wear on the weekend and while working from home. It’s perfect for a night out (when we have them) but also a night in watching Netflix. It’s the ultimate classic to have in one’s arsenal, and whether it’s oversized or fitted, linen or poplin, there are endless ways this classic piece appeals and can be rendered.

Thandiwe Newton and Daughter Nico Parker Wear Versace to Celebrate First Film Together
Thandiwe Newton‘s adorable daughter Nico Parker is following in her mum’s footsteps. The duo attended the premiere for Reminiscence on Tuesday, 17 Aug., which is their first film together. To celebrate such an epic mum-daughter milestone, Newton and Parker both wore sparkling Versace minidresses on the red carpet.

To attend the premiere for Reminiscence, Newton wore a metallic, one-shoulder Grecian-inspired Atelier Versace minidress with a single yellow silk sleeve, and gold-and-silver fringe and vine details. Parker wore a sparkling blue paisley-print Versace minidress with matching tights from the brand’s 2022 resort col...
The 2021 British Fashion Awards Returns to the Royal Albert Hall This November
After a year-long hiatus from a dazzling red carpet, The Fashion Awards is returning to the Royal Albert Hall on Monday, 29 Nov, 2021. While celebrating those who have had a transformative impact on the fashion industry in 2021, the British Fashion Council (BFC) is repositioning this year’s event as an entertainment platform to show how fashion is a cultural meeting point for brands, creatives, designers, and artists. The most anticipated awards at The Fashion Awards 2021 will go to Designer of the Year and the recipient of the BFC Foundation Award. Previous winners of Designer of the Year are Daniel Lee for Bottega Veneta (2019), and Pierpaolo Piccioli for Valentino (2018), with previous recipients of the BFC Foundation Award going to Wales Bonner (2019), and Molly Goddard (2018).

I Never Wear Lipstick Without Liner, and These Are the Only Ones I Rate
No matter how small my bag is, there are always three makeup items that I have with me at all times: lipstick or balm, a mini perfume and a lip liner. Anything else that finds its way in there is an added bonus, but these are what I consider to be my absolute essentials. And while for some, lip liner might feel like one step too far when it comes to a low-maintenance makeup routine, I simply can’t wear anything on my lips (be it balm or lipstick) without lip liner anymore. And this is why. A lip liner has the undeniable power to elevate your lip look from basic to “wow” in mere moments. Even if I’m just wearing a balm, I’ll apply a neutral-brown lip liner first, and then blend it in with one of the many lip balms t...
30 High-Street Buys That Are Worth the Investment This Autumn
Sorry, summer-fashion fanatics, but I’m having a hard time concealing my excitement at the fact that autumnal buys are starting to drop on the high street.

Sweet Perfumes Can Have a Bad Rep, But These 12 Smell So Good
When it comes to fragrance keepsakes, I know of many a perfume lover that continues to cling onto a dusty bottle (or two) of their saccharine, coming-of-age scent—purely for nostalgia’s sake. After all, is there anything more comforting than a vanilla-infused spritz of the fragrance that saw you through your teenage years? To this very day, I I still reminisce about my first ever fragrance: Avril Lavigne’s Black Star Eau De Parfum. Combining two of the ’00s most vital perfume ingredients (a celebrity endorsement and a syrupy aroma) even just a glance at the star-shaped bottle takes me back to 2009. Yes, the scent itself was sickly-sweet, but the more subtle notes of pink hibiscus, black plum and dark chocolate spoke to me—and have been inspiring my frag...

I’ve Worked Out the Items Carrie Bradshaw Always Wears No Matter the Decade
Carrie Bradshaw is nothing if not a fashion devotee. After all, she is the character who once said she would sometimes buy Vogue instead of dinner because she felt it “fed her more.” And while I would by no means advocate for that sort of behaviour, you do have to admire her passion for the cause. From the original Sex and the City series to the movies and new season on the horizon, Bradshaw’s wardrobe has long been a hotly debated topic of conversation. Between the eclectic styling, OTT accessories and sheer number of Manolo Blahniks, there’s always been a lot to discuss. However, while we could spend hours debating the best SATC looks of all time or dissecting in great detail the true meaning behind Bradshaw’s latest outfits, today, we’re here to recou...
