I Rented My Outfits for a Month, and Here’s My Verdict
Overall, I found the whole process to be much smoother than I anticipated, and picking, ordering and returning my pieces (I dropped them off at the nearest DPD checkpoint using the prepaid shopping label) required very little effort. I like the fact that rental allowed me to embrace the excitement of newness without experiencing the dreaded spender’s guilt. The idea of using the platform to experiment with my style, try new brands and generally celebrate the creativity that I’ve always loved about fashion is undeniably appealing. I can also see it being useful for specific occasions or life phases. Think a big summer holiday or even pregnancy. That being said, I don’t think rental could replace those big investments, such as classic winter coats or heirloom-worthy jewelle...
I’m Over High Heels—22 Chic (and Comfy) Low-Heel Sandals I’m Shopping Instead
This year, we’re all hopeful that our lives will return to some sense of normalcy, and this will require us to put something other than slippers on our feet.

ASOS is known for its vast selection of clothing, at any one time there, there can be thousands of items available to purchase on its site.

The Best Mini, Midi and Maxi Dresses to Carry You Through Summer and Beyond
With the temperature gauge almost reaching 30°, we have finally found an excuse to unleash our summer dress collection. Whether you’re a clean-lined minimalist, a floral fanatic, a lover of boho ruffles or someone who craves a simple T-shirt dress, it’s fair to say that there’s plenty to choose from this season. Personally, I’ve been a big fan of the loose, smock-like styles that have proliferated over the last 12 months, as they both keep you cool and look the part with Birkenstocks or strappy heels. That being said, I have also appreciated the transformation of the mini this year, which has been offered up in unexpected fabrics and silhouettes. Think wrap styles in premium linen, pops of fuchsia and frill-neck collars. You a...
17 Sleek Jumpsuits and Playsuits For Your Summer Adventures
Jumpsuits always look smart and stylish. Similarly to co-ordinated sets, a great jumpsuit, playsuit, or romper is an easy summer outfit that makes you look well-dressed with minimal effort. Our favourite jumpsuits for summer 2021 come in bright prints, plush fabrics, delicate linen, and lace. Before you search the web for the perfect suit, we found a few great pieces to add to your list. Ultra-lightweight knitwear and crochet pieces are popular fashion choices for summer 2021.

These Buzzy Rings Deserve All the Hype They’re Getting
Over the pandemic, there have been some retail trends that have been very predictable—the spike in jogging-bottom sales, printed face masks and shoes appropriate for multiple laps of the park. Some of the trends, however, have been a surprise to even the most experienced buyers and editors, and one has been the rise in fine-jewellery sales. According to retailers like MatchesFashion.com, there has been a rise in sales, in particular, of statement cocktail rings that are fun and uplifting, and you don’t get any jollier than Italian jewellery designer Bea Bongiasca’s colourful Baby Vine Tendril rings. According to Threads Styling, these rings have been one of the most sought-after items recently, with “clients buying multiples of the rings to stack and layer...
I Just Tried the New Chanel Bronzer for Dark Skin—Here Are My Honest Thoughts
Like most people, I am on a constant quest to get glowy skin. And while I’d love to level up the dewy finish with a trending skin tint, my combination skin type already emits lighthouse-worthy shine throughout the day, so I tend to steer clear of really luminous base products. Instead, I rely heavily on a healthy sweep of bronzer to produce that coveted lit-from-within glow. As a beauty journalist, I’ve always had one bronzer on my radar as a cult buy: the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream (£43). Honestly, beauty editors and consumers alike go wild for the investment buy. In fact, John Lewis & Partners sold enough of this beloved bronzer to fill 17,000 Chanel 2.55 handbags in 2020 alone. That’s a lot of bronzer. I was alw...
All Expensive-Looking Swimwear Has This One Thing in Common
I always want bikini shopping to be as quick and easy as possible, and over the years, I have realised there is one trend that I just can’t fault when it comes to fit. Thanks to Hunza G, seersucker bikinis and one-pieces have been one of the most popular swimsuit trends for the past few years. The brand was originally launched in 1984 and created the iconic minidress Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman. Thirty years later, the brand switched gears to create one-size scrunch-fabric swimsuits in a rainbow of colours. Hunza’s suits have become go-tos among the A-list. When Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore one of the suits in Italy last year, the site crashed due to the surge in demand. Unsurprisingly, this trend for scrunch-fabric swimwear has hit the h...
Hailey Bieber’s Bikini Is So Popular Reviewers Call It the “Holy Grail”
If you’re one of Hailey Bieber‘s 35 million Instagram followers, you know that she’s been on vacation in Hawaii visiting her surfer pal Kelia Moniz and serving up some prime tropical content. Aside from her açaí bowls on the beach, the most enviable part of her photo album is her extensive swimsuit collection. In one photo, Bieber lounges in a pool wearing Frankies Bikinis Tia Terry Triangle Bikini Top in Peace Terry ($80) and Enzo Terry Cheeky Bikini Bottom in Peace Terry ($90). The terry-cloth swimsuit is so popular with the brand’s shoppers that one reviewer even named the bikini top her holy grail. “I am a 36E and this is the perfect triangle bikini top,” the review says. “It’s the perfect bala...
