Skin Tints Are Trending Right Now and These 11 Are the Best
It’s official: 2021 is the year that skin reigns supreme. With many of us having dialled up our skincare routines during lockdown, we’re emerging from restrictions ready to ditch our full-coverage foundations and show off our skin in all its natural glory. Of course, that doesn’t mean we’re waving goodbye to makeup entirely. This summer is all about embracing colour—from pastel eyeshadows to bright lipsticks, expect to see people taking to the streets in a riot of kaleidoscopic pigment. But as for our complexions? There’s a new product in town encouraging us to embrace a more pared-back approach to coverage—skin tints. And I’m into them. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates O...
The Fashion Editor’s Secret to Finding Designer Handbags for Less
Add to this the fact that many big-name brands are reissuing classic bags from their archive collections (think Gucci’s Jackie or Prada’s nylon styles), which has resulted in searches for the “originals” skyrocketing. There is, of course, the elephant in the room, which is designer dupes, and we recommend sticking to sites such as Vestiaire that offer in-house verification teams so you know your purchase is the real deal. Getting your search terms right can be a bit of an art, but most sites offer price brackets so you can adapt to your budget as well as options to refine by brand, vintage, model and fabric. The more specific you are, the easier it’ll be to find what you want. However, if you’re looking for a starting point, we’...
J.Law’s Low-Key Outfit Combinations Are What I’m Copying This Summer
Jennifer Lawrence has carved a name for herself as one of the most celebrated actresses of her generation, so you could assume she’s hardly short of access to the finest clothes. As a long-time ambassador of Dior, the actress has made Maria Grazia Chiuri’s creations her go-tos in recent years, wearing Dior dresses to many a red carpet appearance. With fancy events and premieres largely on hold for the time being, it is the star’s off-duty looks that have really started to catch my attention. With a penchant for wearing the world’s buzziest brands—including Bottega Veneta and The Row—Lawrence clearly knows a thing or two about what’s in right now. Although her aesthetic is relatively understated (think classic staples like white T-shirts paired with ...
I Just Got Rid Of 90% Of My Beauty Stash – These 15 Products Made the Cut
Ask any beauty editor what the best thing about their job is and I guarantee you they will all say the same thing. You see, while other people’s work benefits might include end of year bonuses or even lunch vouchers, us beauty journalists get our perks elsewhere. No matter what anyone says, the best thing about this job is without a doubt the amount of free beauty products that come our way. Seriously, I don’t think I’ve had to buy shampoo since 2017. And even then I had to buy a bottle because I was on a camping trip for eight days and realised I’d forgotten to pack one. Sure, many of my peers will argue that it’s not necessarily a perk, seeing as we sort of have to try these things to actually do our jobs, but despite being in this game for many years, trust me when I...
I’m Trying to Figure Out How to Dress for Dinner Dates Again—8 Ideas I’m Eyeing
I have to admit that I’m a little out of practice when it comes to getting dressed for “normal” events, so I’m spending time trying to relearn the art of putting together some looks.

After scrolling through Instagram to see what the fashion set has been wearing, it turns out that there are so many ideas that I can’t wait to test-drive myself. Many of the outfits I’m eyeing are taking inspiration straight from the S/S 21 runways. This comes as no surprise since some of the key trends of the season are primed for date-night outfits, including everything from micro miniskirts and pointy-toe heels to “floss” pieces and ’90s-inspired fashion.

I Hand-Picked the Best Designer Buys From This Year’s Summer Sales

Low-Slung Jeans Are Back, and This Is How to Wear Them in 2021
For many people, low-slung jeans are a relic of the noughties—a midriff-bearing silhouette favoured by the likes of Marissa Cooper and the members of the Sugar Babes.

So what’s it doing on the feeds of Instagram’s trend-setters in 2021? Well, I have been wondering the same thing. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

How to Find Out About Zara’s Summer Sale First
And if you want more pointers, we have an insider who gave us some valuable tips on how to shop the Zara sale in the UK so expertly that you’ll be guaranteed to get there first (and find the pieces you’ve been eyeing up all season). Our intel is that you should go for the things that’ll be the most popular first. So opt for the higher-priced goods that will sell out quickly (e.g., cashmere, handbags, shoes and coats). “Other pieces like shirts are likely to still be around for the second markdown,” recommends our insider. Also remember to research trends before buying for the upcoming season so you can see what will last. “Customers will always ask, ‘Will you be getting more stuff like this?’ Honestly, the staff will have no i...
The 5 Minimalist Accessories I’m Buying From COS This Summer
Despite not being much of a minimalist for the majority of the year, I find that there’s something about the full-on florals and floaty femininity of summer that has me reaching for the black midis and clean-lined tailoring the moment the mercury rises. As always, COS is my go-to for all things minimalist, and I’ve already invested in one of its oversized T-shirt dresses for the June heatwave, but I have to say that the brand’s latest accessory edit has also piqued my interest.
