My Friend Asked for Summer Outfit Ideas That Don’t Involve Shorts—Here You Go
One of my dear friends recently texted me asking if I could send her a few spring and summer outfit ideas that didn’t involve shorts. While she’ll wear shorts from time to time (especially if it’s super hot), she’s just not as into them on the regular. Naturally, I wanted to help her with a few looks to consider. I also thought you might be interested as well, so I’m sharing the ensembles below. The outfits in question are all easy and effortless. Some of the looks feature chic skirt options as alternatives to shorts. There is also an ensemble with pants. The trick there is focusing on silhouettes that are looser in nature and balancing the look with a tank up top (rather than a ton of layers). With all that in mind, keep scrolling for the outfit ideas I sent over to my...
4 Mums on How Not to Sacrifice Your Personal Style Forever
Unless spoken by Amy Poehler in a pink tracksuit, I dislike the term “cool mum.” I have various issues with it, and for the sake of our collective sanity, I won’t unpack it here. But the main problem I have with it is that it implies mums, as a rule, aren’t cool. That the moment you become a mum, however that happens, you immediately start looking and behaving a certain way. Well, spoiler alert, you don’t. Okay, sure, do I cry at adverts more? Yes. And am I unable to watch any show where a kid is in danger? Yes also. But when it comes to me as a person, who, let’s face it, has always been a bit of a crier, then no, I haven’t changed. I am still me. And that also extends to my wardrobe. Fashion, as I repeatedly say, isn’t frivolous,...
5 Going-Out Tops That Will Look Good With All Jeans
A nice top and jeans was an outfit that peaked in popularity in the ’00s, as the likes of Marissa Cooper and Summer Roberts made party tops and low-rise flares the coolest thing to wear past 6 p.m. The idea of going out dressing has been an alien concept over the past year, and as our diaries slowly start to fill up with reunion plans and restaurants reopen, this outfit is the perfect way to ease back into dressing up. You can opt for something playful, daring or even attention-seeking, and make it seem more relaxed by pairing it with any pair of jeans. There are five types of going-out tops that are particularly popular at the moment, which range from simple basics to OTT “I’m back” statement makers. Below you’ll find smock tops with bow details, pl...
Here They Are—The 5 Coolest Spring Hairstyles on Instagram
There’s a hair trend happening on Instagram. Wait, I should be more specific… There are five hair trends happening on Instagram. Everyone, from the most fashion-forward celebrities to influencers and editors, seems to be wearing the same five hairstyles. (It’s almost as if they held some sort of secret meeting about it.) I’m not mad. How could I be? The five hairstyles in question are chic and low maintenance, which just so happens to be my favourite combination. They’re also very ’90s-inspired. That doesn’t surprise me—not in the slightest. After all, the fashion and beauty industries are experiencing a full-blown ’90s renaissance right now. I mean, we already brought ’90s clothing items back (slip dresses, shoulder...
Park Dates Are a Thing—Here’s Exactly What to Wear
I’m far from a dating expert. My husband and I have been together a total of 15 years, so I’ve missed out on the whole Bumble and Tinder thing. That said, when my single friends are getting ready for their dates, they still choose to run their outfits past me, which I always find so flattering. After a decade spent working in fashion, I’ve become acutely aware of the small cues your clothing choices can make on your behalf, whether you know it or not. You need to feel comfortable in your clothes, especially on a date. If you don’t, you’ll hold your body in an entirely different way than how you usually would, which makes it harder for the person you’re with to connect with you. Wearing something that isn’t you will send off the wrong...

8 Basic Styling Tips That Guarantee Great Hair, According to a Celeb Hairstylist
Imagine waking up and knowing that no matter what the day throws at you, your hair will look great. It’s the kind of dream that I have on a regular basis, so whenever I have the opportunity to quiz hair experts on creating flawless looks, I always make an abundance of notes. I want to know everything, including what products they keep in their kits, how to keep hair smooth, and how to give curls and coils more definition or hold.

This Is the One Jacket Trend Worth Buying From Zara
Whoever has been doing the PR for the shacket recently really deserves a well-earned rest. This piece of outerwear truly came into its own over the past year, and it hasn’t waned in popularity whatsoever. Type “shacket” into Google Trends and you’ll see that it suddenly started to gain traction in August last year. The amalgamation of “shirt” and “jacket,” it has been a great option for working from home and then nipping out to the shops. It’s an in-between item that is great for layering and also just as good when you wear it on its own. It’s perfect with a pair of jeans or leather trousers but also works with dresses. Best of all, of course, is that it’s been made popular by the fashion crowd thanks to pretty muc...
No One Will Guess These Summer Dresses Cost Less Than £100
From polka dots and smocks to back-baring midis and pops of print, the results of 2021’s affordable dress deep dive are in, and I can confirm that we’re in for a stellar year. While spring might’ve only made a tentative debut so far this year, the odd 23° day last week has completely thrown us off course and has had us scrambling to dig out our summer dresses.

I’ve Tried Basically Every MAC Product—Here’s What I’d Recommend
When it comes to beauty brands that hold a special place in my heart, few come close to rivalling MAC. And while, for many of us, the brand might hold nostalgic memories as the place that we bought our first fancy foundation or experimented with red lipstick MAC are undoubtedly a brand that has continued to move with the times—innovating new formulations, inclusive shade ranges and classic product pairings. At this point, I’d hazard a guess that I have around 15 years of MAC loyalty under my belt and during that time I think I’ve tried a decent amount of the brand’s beauty offering. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that I’ve pretty much tried every single product. But with such an array of products on offer—foundati...
Honestly, These 12 Affordable Handbag Brands Look Like Luxury
Be it Bottega Veneta, Chloé, Hermès, The Row or Chanel, we spend a good amount of our time swooning over designer handbags. While our arm-candy allowance isn’t quite what we’d like it to be, we never feel that we’re missing out, mainly because there are so many affordable handbag brands that are creating bags just as covetable as those with four-figure price tags. Still, the word “affordable” is hard to pinpoint. For one person, it might be £30 spent on the high-street. For another, it could be an excellent charity shop find that rings in at £5. And, for some, it could be something as high as £300. We think, however, for something such as a bag to be deemed affordable, it all comes down to how much you’ll actually use it. You Deserv...
