I Was Sceptical About Body Brushing, But It’s Totally Transformed My Skin
First up, when should we body-brush? Personally, and despite my earlier cynicism, I actually prefer to brush my body when my skin is dry, as it helps me to feel really zingy and invigorated before I’ve even stepped foot into the shower. But it turns out that you can body-brush whenever you like: on dry pre-shower skin or when your skin is damp post-shower. So what are the benefits? “It’s used by alternative therapists to promote this network of cleansing vessels, which runs just beneath the surface of the skin, and to help detoxify and decongest the body,” says Kate Shapland, founder of Legology. “It also promotes the blood circulation, improving the flow of fresh nutrient-rich blood to the surface of the skin, which manifests in a natural sense of tone and smoot...
The Best Swimsuits You’ll Find On the High Street, Hands Down
Swimwear shopping can quickly become expensive, and while we might all want to buy a Lisa Marie Fernandez or Mara Hoffman swimsuit, many of us don’t want to splurge on something we’ll only wear for a week or two a year. Especially when there is such a big question mark over international travel this year, and the Great British Summer is so unreliable. Luckily the high street has really upped its swimwear game this season, as Zara, Mango, and more have expanded their swimwear with expensive-looking suits for under £100. If you want something simple, Weekday and H&M have simple, classic one-pieces, while if you have a weakness for colourful prints, you’ll want to see the swimsuits we’ve found at & Other Stories and Mango.

I Swear, Marks & Spencer’s Bras Have Never Looked So Good
I truly believe that its core collection (as well as its DD+ range and plus-size bras, of which I’m well versed) have never looked stronger, more stylish, or more premium. Its ongoing edit with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is just as beautiful as ever, with this season leaning towards a decadent ‘20s aesthetic, featuring delicate lace, pleating, and moulded cups. The brand has also just unveiled a joyful boutique collection created with lingerie designer Damaris Evans, which boasts on-trend colour clashing, intricate embroidery, and an incredible colour palette. It’s a feast for the eyes, and is guaranteed to elevate your underwear drawer tenfold. Then, of course, there are the classic t-shirt and multiway bras of which I can’t survive without and never fail to disappoint. You ...
BAFTA TV Awards 2021: The Best Dressed Celebrities from the Red Carpet
The 2021 BAFTA Television Awards celebrates the best of British television. We have so much gratitude to incredible creators like Michaela Coel, the casts of Normal People, Sex Education, Small Axe, and the delightful Nicola Coughlan for lighting up our screens over the past year.

Michaela’s custom black Highway gown by Maximilian was inspired by the designer’s spring/summer 2021 collection. The elegantly sexy, floor-length dress featured contrasting red sleeves and two statement cutout panels on the back. She completed the look with layers of chunky gold necklaces, black nail polish, and slicked-back hair cut into a blunt, medium bob. For accessories, Michaela chose simple, black satin heeled sa...

The Sellout Summer Top That Is Taking Over Our Instagram Feeds
Typically, we have to do a bit of digging before we stumble across a trending item in its early stages of fame, especially when it’s a specific design from a specific brand.

33 of the Best (and Easiest) Wedding-Guest Hairstyles
With wedding season hopefully back on track for the latter half of 2021 and more intimate ceremonies underway right now, we’ve been busy cherry-picking the best wedding-guest dresses and deciphering the biggest bridal trends for the rest of the year. What can I say? We’re in the mood for love. But what about those finishing touches? More specifically: I’m talking wedding-guest hair. Having personally experienced the panic of trying to secure a pearl hair clip when you’re meant to be jumping in a taxi for the church, I am all about putting as much thought into special occasion hairstyles as I would my dress. (After all, nobody wants to be the person who arrives to a wedding after the bride—especially when you’ve only got a hair accessory to ...
I Challenge You Not to Swoosh Around in These Beautiful Maxi Dresses
It’s easy to see the sudden appeal of a maxi dress. For the most part, they keep you covered, which is ideal for the changeable weather we’re currently experiencing. Still, the attraction goes way beyond practicality—there’s something downright fabulous about wearing a maxi dress. My guess’s all the swooshing potential. And after a year spent dressing for comfort and very little else, I’m all for wanting to feel fancy in my clothes again. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.
