PSA: This Cult Sandal Brand Has Been Restocked for Summer
Sandal brand Arizona Love popped up on my radar a couple of years ago when I spotted a steady stream of Instagram influencers wearing the printed trek sandals. From Erica Davies to our very own Who What Wear columnist Monikh, the sandal brand seemed to appeal to everyone whatever their personal style. There was only one problem: They kept selling out. Thankfully, the brand has created even more styles and has been restocked on various online retailers. Much like the Velcro “dad” sandals by Chanel, Teva‘s classic hikers and all the other iterations before and after, these are sandals of the practical variety. While they’re a traditional hiking style, the multicoloured fabric wrapped around the straps makes them so much more fun. The bra...
This Is My #1 Summer Bag Choice—End of Discussion
I enjoy the romantic aesthetic of a basket bag as much as the next #cottagecore fan, and no one can deny the everlasting allure of the now-classic raffia versions from Loewe. However, when it comes to practicality during the warmer months I’m often drawn to a similar-but-different alternative; The canvas tote has become my desired carry-all for summer 2021, because when it comes to schlepping around—of which I will be doing a great deal—this offers a very chic way to do it.

Trust Me—These Are 37 of the Best Celebrity Hairstyles Ever
From bobs and lobs to braids and full fringes, there are so many amazing hairstyles out there that it can be hard to know where to start if you’re looking for a little pre-salon inspiration. So here’s my suggestion: the A-list. With access to top hairstylists and trending hair products, celebs are constantly stepping out in hairstyles that give me major strand envy. But by switching up their hair as often as we change our t-shirts, choosing a favourite style can lead to an inevitable fall down an Instagram rabbit hole. To make things easier for you, I’ve rounded up some of my favourite celebrity hairstyles ever—37 to be precise—to make your next trip to the hairdresser a little easier.

I’ve Found the Perfect White T-Shirt, and Of Course It’s From Arket
It might come as a surprise to some to know that my perfect white T-shirt comes from none other than high street fave Arket. But, then again, since its inception it is a brand that has aced it in the high-quality basics stakes, with premium-feel fabrics at reasonable prices. The brand’s crew neck T-shirt ticks all the boxes: it’s not see-through, it has a high neckline, boxy fit and is fitted across the shoulders but loose over the hips. Best of all? It comes in at only £15. Not too shabby. I have worn mine with everything from tailored trousers at fashion week (see above) to spring-ready denim and chunky sandals. It is truly a multi-tasking hero. I’ve even converted my practical-minded husband to ...

This Nightie Is the Comfiest Dress You’ll Wear All Summer
Despite spending more time indoors over the last 12 months, our appetite for pretty dresses certainly hasn’t settled down. With the first signs of summer, many are now retiring their loungewear and leggings in favour for throw-on dresses, as they are the easiest way to get dressed but still feel relaxed, whether you’re at home, relaxing in the park or meeting friends for dinner.

10 Cool Nail Designs I’m Actually Going to Try This Summer
Easily the biggest print trend of 2021, checkerboard motifs initially began taking over our wardrobes, but now, they’re proving even more popular on the nail art circuit. Choose classic black and white or, for a summery spin, opt for pastel tones like The Hang Edit. The easiest way to achieve this look is to paint your nails a base colour, then use a dotting tool or toothpick to create the squares on top of it using a contrasting colour. Once you’ve mastered this technique, you can try adding negative space into the equation. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

We’ve Assembled the Perfect 10-Piece Summer Capsule—All From M&S
Marks and Spencer has been knocking it out of the park with its latest collections. So much so, you’d be forgiven for thinking the brand had already reached its stylish peak this year. Then we laid eyes on M&S’s summer edit, and it became blatantly clear that the affordable fashion hot spot was just getting started, and its warm-weather drop is, quite simply, one of its best yet. Having presided over the Great British high street for over a century, Marks and Spencer is known for serving up the best basics in the business. Its lingerie collection is unrivalled, as is its edit of high-quality linen. However, over the past few years, M&S has proven it has serious style credentials, too, not merely by tapping into the top trends but also by starting them. And that’s pr...
Little Mix Celebrate Their Baby Bumps in Angelic White Gowns at the BRIT Awards
With Little Mix’s Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards each expecting their first child, the girls coordinated their outfits with Jade Thirlwall and wore matching white gowns to the 2021 BRIT Awards, where they won Best British Group — the first-ever woman group to do so. Leigh-Anne went for a semisheer gown by Maison Margiela, Perrie wore a coordinated set by David Koma, and Jade completed the trio in a gorgeous Vivienne Westwood gown. “We’re gonna form a mini group,” Perrie joked about her baby bump with host AJ Odudu on the BRIT Awards red carpet live stream. After being asked which designers each Little Mixer was wearing, Leigh-Anne said, “I’m wearing Margiela.” Jade added, “I’m wearing Vivienne Westwood, darling!” and Perrie...
Taylor Swift Wears a Sparkling Miu Miu Ensemble to Accept the BRIT Award For Global Icon
While we were all staying safe during lockdown, Taylor Swift was busy releasing three whole albums. To honour her hard work and hustle, the Lover, Folklore, and Evermore singer accepted the 2021 BRIT award for global icon in a sparkling Miu Miu co-ordinated set. “I want to thank the BRITs or anyone who thought that I would be worthy of this incredible honour,” Swift said while accepting her BRIT Award. “I’m really really proud to be a part of this musical community.

Trust Me—This Is Where to Shop on the High Street If You’re Petite Like I Am
While the average height for females in the United Kingdom is said to be 5’3″, it can certainly feel like clothing is not made with women of that stature in mind. From billowing sleeves to seemingly endless pant legs, dressing rooms can feel like a helpless place for shorter women where nothing ever fits quite the way it was intended. I for one stand at the relatively tiny height of 5’0″ and have struggled with finding clothes to fit my entire life. And while it’s been helpful to make regular visits to an expert tailor or embrace the frayed hem look, I’ve decided that it’s time to find a better way. Luckily, several retailers have heard the frustrations of petite women everywhere and have begun creating specialised li...
5 Handbags That Will Instantly Give You That Summer Feeling
After the winter we’ve had, the arrival of summer has never been so anticipated. With restrictions steadily easing, we now have a reason to carry a handbag again for the events in our diary that require careful packing. Summer handbags often need a chuck-it-all-in quality—you want to be able to squeeze in a bottle of rosé, suncream and multiple park snacks to your bag. There are certain styles that will always be popular in summer for this very reason, such as an oversized basket bag or a practical tote. Loewe is a designer that really leads the way here, as several years later and its logo-patch raffia tote is still a timeless investment that is highly sought after. Other handbags I have noticed that are popular every single year, are white l...
