If You’re a Fan of Le Labo Santal 33, You’ll Love These Perfumes Just as Much
Within the span of a few years, everybody who was anybody had a bottle of Santal 33 on their shelf, and you could barely walk down the street without smelling it on at least one cool fashion girl. Fast-forward to now, and the Santal 33 obsession isn’t slowing down. In fact, as a beauty editor, I’m still getting people message me about it almost weekly. More recently, however, the angle of the questions that I’m receiving has changed. Whereas once upon a time people wanted to know everything about it, now people are asking me what sort of perfumes they can wear instead. It seems that, for some, its popularity has all been a little too much. And I totally get it. No one wants to smell like every other person they meet. In fact, I think I’d run out of hands if I were to count on my finge...
Of All the Summer Sandals Out There, These 8 Will Make the Most Impact
Perhaps it’s that pedicure I’ve just been for, but at this precise moment, all I can think about are sandals. I’ve only invested in one pair this season (Dune’s Longisland chunky flip-flops, in case you were wondering), and now that summer is officially upon us, I now realise that I seriously lack in the sandal department. I only buy new sandals every other year, or longer if I can help it, so I can only assume that in 2019, I decided to rid myself of all my tatty sandals come autumn with the view of replenishing them in 2020. Considering last year was something of a write-off, it’s only now that I see I neglected to do so. There’s an upside to starting from scratch, though. It means I can invest in versatile styles that will form my core collection...
These Summer Dresses Are Business in the Front and Party in the Back
There’s something so timelessly chic about backless dresses. They recall hot summer nights, the South of France, and a touch of carelessness all at once. The only time I go braless (with D-cup boobs) is for a backless dress, and though I’m still wrapping my head around the fact that that is perfectly okay, it feels a bit rebellious. Plus, they are just so comfortable when the temperatures warm up. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

We’re In Our 40s and 50s—These Are the Top 5 Trends We’re Wearing This Summer
Your age should have absolutely nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear. That said, we often gravitate toward women over 40 for style inspiration given their more experienced points of view. Influencers Erin Busbee and Melissa Meyers are two women we turn to for outfit inspo. Busbee, 46, and Meyers, 56, both consistently post looks on their blogs and Instagram feeds that are equal parts chic and easy. On that note, we were inclined to learn about the key pieces they’re into this season to build some of their strongest looks. They actually shared with us the five trends they both love due to the simple yet directional vibes. Keep scrolling to check out more from Busbee and Meyers, including styling inspiration.

These 19 Strapless Bras Have the Best Reviews
To help me, and you, find the best strapless bras and ensure they fit properly, I spoke to lingerie expert Eloise Rigby, who owns The Pantry Underwear shop in Islington, which caters to cups from A to K. She gave me a few helpful rules to stick to. 1. Go for one back size smaller than usual. Without shoulder straps, cups are only supported by the back strap, so this needs enough pull to keep the cups in place. To compensate, you’ll (probably) need to go up a cup size. 2. Start on the loosest set of hooks. This will ensure the longest life from the bra, so you can move inwards as the back strap stretches. 3. To check if a size works, pop an arm behind your back, and use your thumb to pull the strap outwards. You should be able to pull it back only half an inch with resi...
Both Meghan Markle and Sienna Miller Have This One Wardrobe Staple in Common
What do Meghan Markle and Sienna Miller have in common? Well, apart from lucrative acting careers, that is. We’re specifically thinking of a sartorial symmetry between the two celebs: a love for blue-and-white striped shirts. Only this week, Miller was spotted in head-to-toe pinstripes at Wimbledon, while it was back in 2018 that the Duchess of Sussex watched a match in a very chic get-up of a striped shirt and white trousers.

7 Cheap Anti-Ageing Moisturisers That Are Just as Good as These Expensive Ones
Whatever your thoughts on anti-ageing as a term, there’s no denying that moisturisers, which are created to specifically tackle things like fine lines, pigmentation and dryness, can be incredibly expensive due to their potent ingredients and advanced formulations. And while I truly believe that ageing is a privilege we should fully embrace—wrinkles and all—it doesn’t mean that taking good care of our skin as we grow older should cost a small fortune. This is why I’ve made it my mission to seek out anti-ageing products that genuinely work without breaking the bank. I’ve already discovered some brilliant serums and eye creams that rival counterparts with three-figure price tags, but today we’re here to talk ...
These 19 Leave-In Conditioners Have the Best Reviews on the Internet
As someone who has been dyeing their hair blonde since seventh grade, I’ve learned the importance of adding hydration back into your strands. From moisturising masks to hair oils to leave-in treatments, finding a method that works for your hair type is vital to keep your hair from drying out and breaking. It’s important for everyone to keep their hair nourished, but especially those of us with damaged or processed hair. My hairdresser highly recommended adding a leave-in conditioner to my routine in my most recent hair appointment, so afterwards I went on a hunt for the best options. I always turn to reviews when trying to decide on a product because I find personal experience more helpful than a brand’s marketing description, and figure that thousand...

7 Summer Wedding Guest Outfits I’d Instantly Notice
Deciding what to wear to a wedding is difficult enough, but a summer wedding? It requires even more consideration. While you can’t bank on sunny skies for the big day, if recent weather is anything to go by, you can assume it’s going to be a muggy affair. So to strike the perfect balance on what to wear to a summer wedding, you need to be sure of a few things: 1) that your ensemble won’t make you overheat, 2) that it feels comfortable to spend the day in, and 3) that it still feels fancy enough for a special occasion. Ticking all these boxes is no small feat, but we’ve cracked it with a bit of help from some of our stylishly blessed friends. From the fabrics to look for to the new silhouettes to try, scroll on to see seven chic suggestions on what to wear...
I’ve Worn Black to a Wedding 3 Times—Here Are My Dos and Don’ts
“I definitely think it’s appropriate to wear black to a wedding, especially if the attire is black-tie. I also think it depends on the location/aesthetic of the wedding,” says Who What Wear U.S.’s Lauren Eggertsen. “For example, I attended a black-tie wedding where the reception took place in a gorgeous ballroom, so a black dress seemed more than appropriate. If I were attending a summertime outdoor wedding, black might seem out of place.” On the other hand, her colleague Erin Fitzpatrick would steer clear of turning to the dark side. “I definitely don’t think it’s a universal rule anymore, but I personally prefer to skip black dresses for weddings,” she says. “Since every wedding I’ve been to has been in the summ...
I Keep Spotting French Girls in These 6 Affordable Summer Trends
In the style inspiration stakes, the French-girl look will forever be at the top of our list. We never get bored of the plethora of cool-girl outfits that come from this part of the world. Of course, the notion of what constitutes “French style” has changed over time, and no longer exclusively refers to Breton tops and knotted neckerchiefs. Thanks to the democratising powers of Instagram, a new guard has risen up, bringing their own unique interpretations to this classic aesthetic. Let’s just say, we’re paying attention. This summer, we’ve seen all manner of cool outfits come from the likes of Slip Into Style and Frann Fyne, and after a bit of digging we’ve come up with four trends, in particular, that seem t...
