9 Brands Fashion People Are Really Into Right Now
It’s easy to become devoted to specific brands. Especially when much of your shopping takes place online, finding those high-quality labels that you know fit you well makes it easy to build loyalty. Sometimes, it can feel like too much hassle to try something new when there’s a lengthy return process lingering over your head. However, by sticking to the same brands day in and day out, you could be (read: absolutely are) missing out on some genuinely great opportunities. So if you’re keen to shake up your shopping habits, look no further. This summer, we’ve noticed that nine brands seem to be dominating the fashion sphere, and while you’ve likely heard of some of them, we have a hunch that they don’t feature heavily in your curren...
When It Comes to Anti-Ageing, This Serum Is Considered the Best of the Best
Recently reformulated, Ultimine now also contains Shiseido’s new ImuGenerationRed Technology. Working to boost the skin’s natural ability to defend itself against aggressors and stress, it helps to fight both internal and external factors that can damage the skin’s health and accelerate the ageing process. On top of that, the new technology also contains heart leaf extract to promote the delivery of essential nutrients and defensive cells to the skin. The results? Just super-happy, plump, youthful-looking skin. The texture is lightweight and silky, meaning that if you want to layer a thicker cream over the top, you can. The results are so good, in fact, that we’d prefer to call Ultimune a pro-ageing serum. Because, yes, it helps protect skin against further ageing, but it also keeps it loo...
11 Outfits Fashion People Will Wear With Classic Jeans This Autumn
Ready for some fresh outfit inspiration? While, yes, high summer is still here, I can’t help but look ahead to autumn dressing—and plan my outfits accordingly. The arrival of autumn brings plenty to be excited about from sumptuous sweaters to layered looks but at the moment, I only have denim on the brain. Maybe it’s because I’ve hardly been wearing jeans at all this summer (hello, hot weather) but truth be told, my outfit rotation is really craving some good old jean ensembles. If like me, you could use some fresh inspiration to fuel your autumn outfits, you’ve come to the right place. Ahead, take a look at the below 11 blue-jean outfits that are fresh for the upcoming season but still low-key and easy to re-create with many of the pie...
Whistles Just Re-Created Rachel Green’s Iconic Mint Dress, and I’m Obsessed
Call me a millennial cliché, but I’ve been a Friends fan for just about as long as I can remember. I’ve watched Ross and Rachel break up and make up and break up again, and I’ve hummed along to Phoebe’s “Smelly Cat” more times than anyone should. I don’t consider myself an expert on many things in life, but when it comes to Friends (and, of course, fashion), I can confidently say I know my stuff. So you can only imagine the sheer delight I experience when those two subjects collide. This week has provided a moment of exactly that. Those who have seen the series umpteen times, like me, will remember “The One Where No One’s Ready.” And those who are fashion inclined will recall the stunning mint green dress Rachel wears in the episode. It is a quintessential example of ’90s minimal...
This Under-the-Radar High-Street Brand Has Perfected Autumn Basics
Over the last decade, the high-street has become infinitely better at creating good basics. Yes, there were always the Uniqlos and Gaps of the world, but now the list of brands that tick both the form and function boxes is growing every day, and John Lewis & Partners’ lesser-known brand Kin very much falls under this category. Rising above seasonal trends, this affordable brand has been consistent in its minimalist message since its inception, perfecting the art of the perfect shirt, the ideal crew-neck knit and the dream pair of tailored trousers. Last year, I fell in love with Kin’s collaboration with Rie Takeda and have been wearing the wrap jacket through all seasons. I’m also pleased to announce that Kin’s A/W 21 collection is ...

7 Things I Always Wear After Living In NYC, Paris, and L.A.
I’ve been lucky enough to live in some of the most incredible cities in the world, at least in my personal opinion—NYC, Paris, and L.A. Each city is a unique place to live with its own local cultures and customs, and similarly, each place has its own take on fashion. Living in each place has opened me up to what makes each spot known for fashion in its own right, and I picked up some ideas about how to dress along the way—with plenty of personal outfits to share. In L.A., I discovered how to style casual pieces like jeans and athleisure looks that are core to every Angeleno’s wardrobe. NYC is where I learned about practicality. Before living there, I never had to dress for a cold winter, so I found out firsthand how New Yorkers manage to look chic while also shielding themselve...

Well Played, M&S—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...
