This 72-Year-Old Shoe Brand Is Set for Another Comeback
While the chaos of our world is leaving us with a sense of uncertainty, it looks like fashion people are staying firmly planted in the ground this summer. Quite literally. As season’s annual cues mark the beginning of the warmer months (gardens blooming and sunlight returning to our daily lives), when it comes to our shoe trends, we’re staying put. Last winter saw the proliferation of the chunky boot trend, while cult Scandi brand Ganni put practicality and utility at the core of its collection. With “outdoorsy athleisure” predicted to remain a key trend for the coming seasons, we’re beginning to see the evolution of the practical fashion trend continue into summer. We’re anticipating that this need to an...
A Lingerie Expert Just Told Me This Is the Comfy Bra Style Women Want Right Now
I’ve regularly scoffed at those proclaiming they’ve given up bras for good due to the pandemic. As someone who often sleeps in a bra (I am DD+), I find it much more comfortable to have support. Despite my own personal views, however, I think it’s fair to say that there’s a revolution of sorts going on when it comes to lingerie, particularly when it comes to bras. Over the past year and a half, for obvious reasons, we’ve spent a lot more time assessing our comfort levels. Locked down at home, we have swathed ourselves in loose fabrics. Stretchy waistbands have replaced our jeans, and some really have forgone bras altogether. But there are plenty of us who aren’t ready to give up the jig quite yet, especially those of us who still require support of some sort. Womanhood,...
I Just Tried Clinique’s New Foundation, and It Makes My Skin Look Incredible
Ever wondered whether a new beauty launch or trending product is truly worth the hype? If so, you’re in the right place. I Just Tried… is our beauty column where we test out everything from new formulations to cult classics to find out whether they’re really worth your money. Oh, and we’ll answer the most-searched-for questions so you don’t have even have to ask. When it comes to choosing a foundation, there is so much to consider, from shade and finish to coverage and longevity. It has to be one of the trickiest beauty products to shop for online or in real life. But if there’s one thing we’re sure of, it’s that a foundation that offers multitasking benefits is always going to make a welcome addition to our makeup bags, especially if it can do some good for our...
The Best Wimbledon Celebrity Fashion Moments of All Time
Wimbledon is the ultimate catwalk of tennis fashion, and stylish celebrities attend the games every year to show off their sartorial prowess. You might be familiar with tennis whites, but after having a look through some of the best celebrity style moments ever, we learned that there are many ways to make a bold and classic statement at Wimbledon. Crisp white outfits are a perennial favourite, but a smart, neutral-toned suit is a great look for women at Wimbledon. We particularly love the Ralph Lauren suits worn by Sienna Miller and Tessa Thompson at Wimbledon 2019. Another winning look is a smart shirtdress like the red Ralph Lauren shirtdress worn by Rebel Wilson in 2019, and the pink sleeveless shirtdress worn by Maisie Williams that same year. Classic pinstripes are also a traditional ...
I Always Wear Accessories in These Colours, and They Work With Every Outfit
Nothing has the power to elevate your look quite like well-chosen accessories. Handbags can add a final flourish, while a simple shoe change can create an entirely new aesthetic. As such, accessories should never be overlooked or under-appreciated. Of course, we give every accessory its due consideration before we make that all-important purchase, but, in our opinion, none require more thought than watches. Watches are personal and become an intrinsic part of your signature style—something that people instantly notice about you as you rarely take them off—so it’s certainly worth putting in the effort to find the perfect one. That, however, doesn’t mean that you can’t have some fun with your watch selection—in fact, bolder watches can have a bigger pay-off and will make more of an impact wh...
17 Gorgeous Yet Casual Wedding Dresses For Your Intimate Summer Ceremony
Casual weddings take a lot of pressure off your special day, and a casual dress code means that the bride and wedding guests can wear something comfortable, lightweight, and slightly more affordable. Whether your definition of casual means a beach ceremony, getting married in the countryside, or a chilled city wedding — we’ve found a few stylish wedding dresses to wear to your relaxed summer ceremony. For a casual wedding, brides have the option of wearing something shorter and easier to move in. A casual bridal gown often has shorter sleeves, a minimal design, and simple fabric without much lace or embellishment. Chilled brides can wear a tuxedo dress, an A-line minidress, an ivory slip dress, or a smart pair of trousers with a delicate blouse. For shoes, we suggest a lower heel tha...

From Jennifer Aniston to Selena Gomez, So Many Celebs Use This £11 Skincare Buy
When it comes to celebrity beauty recommendations, they tend to fall into one of two camps: in-salon treatments and cosmetic procedures with the best names in the industry (which are totally out of the realm of possibility for most of us) or luxury skincare products with a three-figure price tag. So when I heard murmurings that a genuinely affordable beauty brand with legions of A-list devotees had just landed at Cult Beauty, I was instantly intrigued. After all, Jennifer Aniston and under-£11 skincare isn’t a combination that you come across often. The brand in question? Heritage Store.

This Is Already the Coolest Nail Trend of 2021
Between the excitement of nail salons reopening and the promise of summer to come (hopefully), there has been a noticeable shift in the types of manicures that I’ve spotted on Instagram lately. Gone are the neutral colours and basic shades that all the chicest women were stepping out in earlier this year and in their place, a riot of cute nail art and pastel hues. As someone that always has a saved folder that’s bursting with nail designs, I have to say that I’m thrilled with this shift to embrace colour and pattern for the season ahead. That being said, I’m well aware that checkerboard nails and rainbow manis aren’t for everyone, which is why I’m so excited about this emerging nail trend w...
Hailey Bieber Just Wore the Next It Colour in Paris
Hailey Bieber knows a good trend when she sees one. She’s proven this time and time again. Bieber is currently in Paris, and she’s known to pull out all the stops when visiting The City of Light. This trip has been no exception. Earlier this week, while out shopping with none other than Justin Bieber, she wore an outfit that very clearly speaks to what the autumn winter 2021 runways were telling us: Lilac is the next It color and will soon be everywhere. Bieber is already embracing this notion by wearing a lilac sweater tank, miniskirt, and bag in unison. Fun fact about me: Lilac is my favorite colour and I wear it regardless of whether or not it’s a trend at the moment. So needless to say, I’m very happy to report that it’s the next It col...
The One Pair of Sandals That Go With Everything I Own
My tolerance for uncomfortable shoes has always been pretty low, but there was something about the adjustment to WFH life and, you know, lockdown that only exacerbated this. Toe-crushing high heels? No thanks. Blister-inducing flats? Nope. If I can’t wear it for a whole day without a second’s thought then it’s not going near my feet. All I can say is thank goodness for Birkenstocks.

Trust Me—This Cool L.A. Makeup Brand Is Actually Worth the Hype
As a beauty editor, there is nothing that gets my heart racing more than hearing the news that a particularly buzzy beauty brand is crossing the Atlantic to arrive on UK soil. With much-hyped names like Glossier and Drunk Elephant leading the way, there’s no doubt that access to international beauty brands has come on leaps and bounds in recent years. In fact, I can’t remember the last time that I had to plead with a friend, colleague or family member that was holidaying in the US to do a Sephora dash for me. Almost all of the coolest Instagram beauty brands are readily available here now—well, except for one: Tower 28 Beauty. Launched in April 2019, Tower 28 Beauty almost immediately garnered a cult following tha...
