12 Modern Pearl Necklaces to Buy If You Love Vivienne Westwood’s Iconic ’90s Orb Choker
Pearl is the official stone of the month of June, but that’s not the only reason that summer fancies these classic water gems. Pearl jewellery has long been associated with evening wear and mature women, but since stars like A$AP Rocky, Harry Styles, and Machine Gun Kelly started trading their gold chains for pearl necklaces, the classic jewellery item has gained an edgier, gender-fluid following. Most credit is due to the men stars championing pearls for summer 2021, but it was really the comeback of Vivienne Westwood’s orb logo pearl choker necklace that inspired us to add a piece to our own jewellery collection. Recently worn by Dua Lipa at the 2021 BRIT Awards, while having a massive revival on TikTok, Vivienne Westwood’s Bas Relief Choker necklaces are the perfect co...
5 Colourful Makeup Looks I Can’t Wait to Re-Create
At last, summer has arrived and while the return of sunnier days usually has me ditching the contents of my makeup bag in favour of tinted moisturisers and lip balms, the easing of lockdown restrictions means that I’m actually raring to play with new products this season. In fact, after months spent mostly inside with nobody but my 1-year-old to dress up for, I’m more than ready to step outside my comfort zone and embrace a more colourful summer makeup look than ever before. After all, it’s exactly what all the cool girls are wearing right now. I’m not alone in this lust for brighter lipsticks and rainbow-slicked eyelids either. Four of the UK’s most beloved beauty brands—L’Oréal Paris, Maybelline,&nb...
The Trending Mirror That Will Make Your Home Look 100 Times More Scandi
There’s something so deliciously Millennial about an interiors trend, and I say that with the greatest affection, considering that I am, myself, a 29-year old, self-confessed homeware fanatic. Well, out of all of the trending buys over the last 12 months, Gustaf Westman’s curvy mirror has to be one of the biggest (literally and metaphorically). With its dramatic proportions and wavy edge, this mirror was made for an outfit selfie and it has fast become the fashion girl’s go-to for a statement-making in-feed post.

Black British Fashion Creatives Reflect One Year On From the Protests
What does fashion mean to you? For me, fashion is about expressing yourself, telling your story with confidence, be it how you feel that day or an expression of your heritage. Many of the Untapped Creatives brands champion this spirit of inclusivity and expression within fashion, bringing designs to the British luxury market that fuse elements of traditional African cultures with Western styles. This is what fashion should be about: feeling comfortable and expressing your individuality, identity and uniqueness. What have you achieved in the last year that you’re proud of? Developing and finalising our Untapped Creatives collaboration with Selfridges whilst continuing to work as a lawyer has been my highlight of the past year.

I Just Found 19 Perfect Summer Staples, and They’re All Under £50
If you’ve ventured into London (or any city for that matter) over the last two weeks, you’ll know that everyone is jumping at the opportunity to get dressed up. Whether it’s for lounging in the park or sipping cocktails with friends, it seems as though nothing less than a party dress and heels will do. And while we’re enjoying the novelty, if we’re honest, when the mercury skyrockets, all we really want to be wearing are easy-breezy summer separates, and thankfully, high-street hero Monki has them in abundance.

Trust Us—These Are the 12 Best Anti-Ageing Creams in the Business
Before we start, however, let’s simplify things with a few key tips and important things to know. When shopping around for legit anti-ageing creams there are some essential ingredients to look out for. Retinol (or vitamin A) speeds up cell turnover, boosts collagen production and is the ultimate anti-ageing ingredient. It can be harsh on the skin to start with, though, so only use every few days to begin with and always use SPF with it, as it can make your skin more sensitive to rays. Antioxidants like vitamins C and E help fight free radicals—molecules that can do damage to your skin cells. Peptides help repair skin damage. Glycolic acid is an AHA that increases cell turnover to reveal smoother skin. Ceramides and other hydrators like hyaluronic acid and shea butter all lock in moisture a...
These Trousers Are the Best Thing I’ve Bought in 2021
Black trousers aren’t really the kind of item you get excited about, or so I thought until I bought this pair of drawstring pleated trousers from & Other Stories. They are quite simply the best thing I’ve bought in 2021 and probably 2020, too. They are made from a lightweight fabric with a plissé finish and have a high-waisted drawstring waist and a wide-leg flare, which means the trousers fall in a really relaxed way over your hips and aren’t too clingy. They are also extremely long, but I have chosen not to have them taken up, as I enjoy the dramatic swooshing of the trousers over flip-flops or sandals. They are the comfiest item of clothing I own but look smart thanks to the pleated fabric and the cut. They also go with almost any shirt, jumper or ja...
EmRata’s Jaw-Dropping Mermaid Bikini Is Already Going Viral
Happy birthday, Emily Ratajkowski! The model turns 30 years old today. She celebrated the milestone occasion in true EmRata fashion: by wearing a jaw-dropping bikini on the beach. She wore a seashell top from Versace’s ocean-themed S/S 21 collection, which was rife with motifs such as starfish, coral, shells, fish, and more. The result? An outfit that belongs in The Little Mermaid. The designer herself, Donatella Versace, chimed in on Instagram: “The birthday mermaid!!!

JUSUN strike: How we decongested our cells – Police
The police in Lagos say they have devised means to decongest their cells amidst the prolonged strike by the Judicial Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN). The police spokesperson in the state, Muyiwa Adejobi, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday that the decongestion was carried out in collaboration with the office of the Chief Judge and Attorney-General of the state. NAN reports that JUSUN, on April 6, directed its members to shut down all courts across the country, demanding the implementation of the law granting financial autonomy to the Judiciary. “The command had been managing the situation in collaboration with the office of the state chief judge,” Mr Adejobi said. He, however, did not give the number of suspects that had been granted bail. “We work with the office of the CJ an...
10 Items That Are Perfect for a Summer Spent Outdoors
There’s nothing like months spent inside to make you crave the great outdoors. After spending most of 2020 in a second-floor flat with no balcony or outdoor space, I’ve been dreaming of fields and walks that don’t involve dodging people on pavements. Whether you’re isolating in the Cotswolds or Clapton, the lockdown has brought on a nationwide appreciation of nature. I’ve personally been flower-pressing daisies I’ve collected from the banks of East London’s canals and now class a bike ride as my perfect activity. Turns out I’m not alone, and this has a name: cottagecore. It’s an internet aesthetic that started trending on the platform TikTok and which The Guardian defines as “a visual and lifestyle m...
