5 Affordable Trends London Girls Are Wearing This Summer
Since moving out of London I’ve become entirely dependent on Instagram to see what women in the world’s coolest fashion capital are wearing right now. I didn’t realise quite how important my organic street style-spotting opportunities were when our work lives were normal and I spent a great portion of my week trekking around town for meetings, events and press appointments—just by some sort of magical, natural osmosis, I was absorbing the style beat of the city and intuitively gaining insight into what women were wearing in real-time. It has always fed into my editorial work, and lockdown has made it infintely harder to be truly in touch with genuine trends rather than social media-led frenzies. Fortunately for me the medium of IG, and London-base...
I’m a Trousers Aficionado and This Is the Trend I’m Loving for 2021
While I try to avoid speaking in binaries when it comes to personal style, I think it’s fair to say that I classify myself as a “trouser person.” It’s not that I don’t embrace dresses in the heat of high summer (my black COS T-shirt dress is a real wardrobe workhorse) or throw on the odd skirt every now and then, but catch me on any given day of the week and chances are I’ll be wearing trousers.

I Turned 41 This Month, so I Had a Thread Lift—Here’s Why I Recommend It
What are threads, exactly? There are a couple of different kinds of threads that are popular on the market in the US. PDO threads are biodegradable absorbable sutures that are made from polymer comparable to a complex sugar. Less popular are the threads that are made from poly-L lactic acid (same as Sculptra) and are also made from absorbable polymers that signal collagen growth and tissue renewal. They are known as “threads” in the aesthetic space but have been used in surgeries for decades under the name “sutures.” That’s right—these cosmetic enhancement threads are made of the same materials that surgeons use to close up lung and heart tissue. Cosmetic use of sutures from plastic surgery gained real traction in the late ’90s and early 2000s when threads were used to su...
16 ‘Ooo Where-Did-You-Get-That?’ Dresses From H&M
If you’re suddenly finding yourself in need of a throw-on summer dress, we find one of the best places to go is H&M for affordable, but expensive-looking summer dresses. Whether you want something long and dramatic, or mini with cut-outs, H&M has lots of beautiful casual summer dresses to choose from. The only thing to note about a good H&M dress is it tends to sell out pretty quickly, so we can’t guarantee that the 16 below will be around for long. There are several details that the brand is leaning into for summer 2021, including double spaghetti straps, oversized puff sleeves, open backs with criss-cross straps and smocked bodices. Keep scrolling to see our edit of the 16 H&M dresses we love. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates...
20 Cool Hairstyles That Are Perfect for Summer
Honestly, I’m not really sure whether summer is officially here or not. In London, we seem to have settled on a climate that’s not too dissimilar to what I imagine living in a tropical rainforest would be. It swings between bright sunshine and intense downpours, and is certainly not conducive to good hair days (for me, at least). Nevertheless, there’s plenty of amazing summer hair inspiration to be found right now, so think of this as a wish list for not only your hair but also for the glorious summer that might still be to come.

Skin Tints Are Trending Right Now and These 11 Are the Best
It’s official: 2021 is the year that skin reigns supreme. With many of us having dialled up our skincare routines during lockdown, we’re emerging from restrictions ready to ditch our full-coverage foundations and show off our skin in all its natural glory. Of course, that doesn’t mean we’re waving goodbye to makeup entirely. This summer is all about embracing colour—from pastel eyeshadows to bright lipsticks, expect to see people taking to the streets in a riot of kaleidoscopic pigment. But as for our complexions? There’s a new product in town encouraging us to embrace a more pared-back approach to coverage—skin tints. And I’m into them. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates O...
The Fashion Editor’s Secret to Finding Designer Handbags for Less
Add to this the fact that many big-name brands are reissuing classic bags from their archive collections (think Gucci’s Jackie or Prada’s nylon styles), which has resulted in searches for the “originals” skyrocketing. There is, of course, the elephant in the room, which is designer dupes, and we recommend sticking to sites such as Vestiaire that offer in-house verification teams so you know your purchase is the real deal. Getting your search terms right can be a bit of an art, but most sites offer price brackets so you can adapt to your budget as well as options to refine by brand, vintage, model and fabric. The more specific you are, the easier it’ll be to find what you want. However, if you’re looking for a starting point, we’...
J.Law’s Low-Key Outfit Combinations Are What I’m Copying This Summer
Jennifer Lawrence has carved a name for herself as one of the most celebrated actresses of her generation, so you could assume she’s hardly short of access to the finest clothes. As a long-time ambassador of Dior, the actress has made Maria Grazia Chiuri’s creations her go-tos in recent years, wearing Dior dresses to many a red carpet appearance. With fancy events and premieres largely on hold for the time being, it is the star’s off-duty looks that have really started to catch my attention. With a penchant for wearing the world’s buzziest brands—including Bottega Veneta and The Row—Lawrence clearly knows a thing or two about what’s in right now. Although her aesthetic is relatively understated (think classic staples like white T-shirts paired with ...
I Just Got Rid Of 90% Of My Beauty Stash – These 15 Products Made the Cut
Ask any beauty editor what the best thing about their job is and I guarantee you they will all say the same thing. You see, while other people’s work benefits might include end of year bonuses or even lunch vouchers, us beauty journalists get our perks elsewhere. No matter what anyone says, the best thing about this job is without a doubt the amount of free beauty products that come our way. Seriously, I don’t think I’ve had to buy shampoo since 2017. And even then I had to buy a bottle because I was on a camping trip for eight days and realised I’d forgotten to pack one. Sure, many of my peers will argue that it’s not necessarily a perk, seeing as we sort of have to try these things to actually do our jobs, but despite being in this game for many years, trust me when I...
I’m Trying to Figure Out How to Dress for Dinner Dates Again—8 Ideas I’m Eyeing
I have to admit that I’m a little out of practice when it comes to getting dressed for “normal” events, so I’m spending time trying to relearn the art of putting together some looks. One area, in particular, that I’ve been trying to find inspiration for? Dinner date outfits. After scrolling through Instagram to see what the fashion set has been wearing, it turns out that there are so many ideas that I can’t wait to test-drive myself. Many of the outfits I’m eyeing are taking inspiration straight from the S/S 21 runways. This comes as no surprise since some of the key trends of the season are primed for date-night outfits, including everything from micro miniskirts and pointy-toe heels to “floss” pieces and ’90s-inspired fashion. I...
I Hand-Picked the Best Designer Buys From This Year’s Summer Sales
Unlike the January sales (which all start within a week of each other), the summer sales can be harder to keep track of. Their start dates will be staggered across the months, meaning you have to be more strategic.

As well as Harvey Nichols Sale Preview with up to 30% off. Prepare to get clicking. Of course, we’re heading toward those cult buys we’ve spotted all over our Insta feeds so far this year, but we’re also picking the pieces you’ll still want to for many years to come. We’re talking crossbody bags, versatile tailorin...
I’m a Picky Zara Shopper—This Is What I’d Buy There for Summer
If you know me, you know I am pretty Zara-obsessed, but that doesn’t mean I’m obsessed with everything that the retailer stocks. In fact, when it comes to the items I actually end up buying and wearing, I am very picky with my selection.
