I Wore a Different Perfume Every Day for a Month—These 7 Earned Me Compliments
Growing up, the bottles of body sprays, lotions, butters and eau de toilettes that lined my bathroom vanity were far sweeter than a desert-filled episode of The Great British Bake Off. My rotation typically included Britney Spears’s Fantasy (or Curious); a pure-sugar scent that, not surprisingly, was called Pink Sugar; and anything else my collection of glossy magazines was advertising. If it smelled like a frosted cupcake with sprinkles, I was—without a doubt—wearing it. I’ll always love unapologetically sweet scents, but now my tastes have graduated to fragrance blends that are warm and woody or grounded with spices, leathers or classic florals. That said, signature sweet notes like vanilla are often at the heart of...
10 Trends That Are the Talk of Copenhagen This August
Copenhagen might not be one of the fashion weeks on the traditional fashion calendar, but it has certainly built a reputation for its innovative and agenda-setting approach to design. So many buzzy labels, fresh styling ideas and sustainability initiatives emerge from this city each season. The street style is almost as inspiring as the looks we see on the runways, as guests aren’t afraid to have fun with their outfits over in Copenhagen. This crowd has sparked lots of the styling trends we have seen dominate over the past few years, such as oversized, colourful midi dresses paired with chunky boots and a love of vibrant prints. This fashion week is all about having fun and experimenting with personal style, which often translates into a whole lot of colour. So we always keep a v...
I Just Had Cupping Therapy, and I Feel Like a New Woman—Here’s What Happened
First things first: I have long been intrigued by cupping therapy. However, with a generally healthy lifestyle, I’ve never really felt like I needed to indulge in the Eastern medical practice—until now. Spending so much time at home over the last 18 months has meant less movement than ever, and I’ve started to feel lethargic and fatigued. So when beauty services returned, I immediately started looking into how cupping and other Eastern massage practices could help to alleviate my sluggishness. And I wasn’t alone. “As wellness businesses and spas have reopened, Brits are prioritising their self-care,” says Kinsey Livingston, ClassPass VP of partnerships. “ClassPass reservations for UK beauty and wellness appointments are up 74% compared...
11 Autumn Style Staples I Rely On Year After Year
Dressing for autumn? It’s a challenge I’m always happy to take on. Whether it’s assembling interesting layered looks or keeping cosy in knitwear, autumn is when I come into my sartorial own. So much so I’m willing away the last few weeks of summer so I can start focusing on my autumn outfits. Now, I do understand why some get anxious about the shift in seasons. Chances are you feel like you’ve just gotten into your summer style stride and know there’s another time of year to think about. However, I genuinely believe that dressing for autumn is easy—at least it is when you have a handful of autumn fashion essentials at your disposal. Over the years, I’ve curated an autumn capsule that’s versatile and sleek and will ensure you don’t ...
These 6 Autumn Trends Are So Good Influencers Are Already Wearing Them
Yesterday, when I stepped outside, the chill and moisture in the air felt distinctly like autumn. My gut reaction? Excitement. I love autumn, I love dressing for autumn, and now, it feels like I can genuinely start planning my outfits for the upcoming season. You might think I’m unnecessarily organised. After all, we still have at least a few weeks of summer left. But after my latest Instagram scroll, it would appear I’m actually late to the party, as many of my favourite influencers are already wearing autumn trends now. Why, I hear you ask, would they do such a thing? It probably has something to do with the fact that the autumn 2021 trends are some of the most fun to wear that we’ve seen in a long while. Autumn fashion can often be quite serio...
This Joyful Brand Has Gained a Very Fashionable Following This Year
I can barely browse my Instagram feed without seeing one of the people I follow wearing new-season Sea, and I understand why. The brand has a flair for texture. Broderie and crochet have always played a big part in its designs, and seeing as these are perhaps two of the most coveted fabrications of 2021, it’s only natural that Sea has proven incredibly popular. Last year’s cottagecore trend has shown no signs of slowing down, meaning Sea’s latest collection of patchwork pieces, frilly co-ords, delicate florals and homespun knits, complete with a joyful colour palette, has hit the fashion bullseye. As the pieces have caught the eyes of Lucy Williams, Hanna Stefansson, Fia Hamelijnck and Grece Ghanem, to name a few, now might be the time to finally ...
25 Perfect Autumn Wedding Guest Dresses That I’ve Bookmarked

Well Played, Marks and Spencer—These £50 Boots Are Seriously Good
Marks and Spencer is a British institution that is loved up and down the country for delivering quality staples, particularly underwear, pyjamas and cashmere jumpers. It creates classic pieces that appeal to all ages, and although the design has universal appeal, it is never particularly out-there or following street style trends. That’s why our editors were all surprised when we found a pair of boots that look straight from Copenhagen Fashion Week. Chunky, rubber-sole boots have been trending thanks to designers like Ganni and Bottega Veneta, and M&S has done its own iteration of the chunky knee-highs for £50. So I had to try a pair to see if they live up to the product image on the website. When I put them on, my partner said, “Why are you wearing wellie...
The 3 Boot Trends That Have Taken Over 2021
Boots have become one of those items that are pretty much seasonless. True, sturdier and waterproof versions become very useful in the winter, but this type of shoe still has its place in the summer, too. This is why you’ll forgive us for talking about boot trends in the middle of 2021 before we’ve even hit autumn. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Hands Down, These Are the Best-Ever Sex and the City Outfits
If I were to try my hand at analysing the reasons why Sex and the City still holds so much sway over our wardrobes, I’d say it’s because, thanks to Patricia Field’s genius styling, the outfits remain incredibly relevant. No matter how long ago the show started and ended, there are plenty of great looks that hold up today. As a huge fan of the show, I still remember some of the best looks from the six seasons. That’s how groundbreaking I found the fashion. While I loved all the characters, it was Carrie’s fashion-forward style that influenced my teenage and early-20s wardrobe. From trying to hunt down my own name necklace to being persuaded to wear a bum bag, Carrie’s style continues to help me be more adventurous with my own wardrobe. But it’s...
So Many Editors Want This Expensive-Looking High-Street Jacket
If there was a prize for the jacket trend that has been given the most airtime over the last two years, it would have to be the blazer. As someone who has around five currently sitting in my wardrobe, I can attest to its versatility, timelessness and ease to style. With its boxy fit and premium-feel fabric, my Arket wool blazer is a personal highlight, and it seems as though I am not alone in my love for this particular piece as I’ve spotted it on countless fashionable faces on Instagram.

Thinking About Getting Braids? These Are the Products You Need in Your Routine
Ready to remove your brads? Get ready for a deluxe washday. “For the first washday after taking out braids, I recommend mixing a small amount of leave-in conditioner with water in a spray bottle, mixing it up really well so the consistency is still light enough to spray,” says Smith. Then, after taking your braids down, “part the hair in small sections and spray each section thoroughly, ensuring it is quite damp, and take a Tangle Teezer Wet Detangler Naturally Curly Hairbrush (£12) and comb through each section—starting at the ends and working your way up to the roots.” Now, it’s time to move on to the washing. “Proceed with your washday routine as you would, ensuring that you incorporate a clarifying shampoo,” s...
