38 of the Best Bob Hairstyles For Your Post-Lockdown Haircut
My hair has recently reached that awkward in-between length: it’s no longer the mid-length lob that I visited the hairdressers for last year but it can’t quite be considered a long hairstyle yet. Instead, it’s sitting rather uninspiringly on my shoulders causing me to seriously consider going for the chop. I’ve experimented with shorter hairstyles over the years but have never taken the plunge into a full-on bob. However, with my Instagram feed starting to fill up with dramatic, post-lockdown haircuts, I have to admit that I’m seriously tempted to forgo my lengths in favour of something shorter, choppier and infinitely cooler. And a quick look online confirmed that the bob might just be the hairs...
5 Items Every French Woman Over 40 Owns
Want to know one thing stylish French women over 40 have in common? Seriously fine-tuned wardrobes that can teach all of us some lessons about how to curate closets brimming with chic pieces. In fact, many of them have the same go-to items that are the building blocks of a cool Parisian wardrobe, or non-Parisian wardrobe for that matter. I started to notice these similarities when looking through some photos. From glossy black jackets to perfectly tailored tweed jackets, there are plenty of French wardrobe staples that are always consistent. Go on to see the five pieces every stylish French woman over 40 owns, and then shop the pieces for yourself if you find their outfits as inspiring as I do.

33 Pieces I Love From & Other Stories, H&M and COS
Brighter mornings! Longer days! Rising temperatures! Spring is officially here, and we’re pretty excited about it. Finally, it feels like winter is melting away (aside, apparently, from the odd bit of sleet), and things are looking up. And it seems the high-street also shares our excitement. Over the last few days, we’ve seen the new-in offerings at our favourite online shopping destinations take a springlike turn. Now, while we pride ourselves on not favouring one brand over another, we think it’s fair to say that some stores have nailed spring 2021’s aesthetic, with many of our favourite items coming from three places in particular: H&M, COS and & Other Stories. With a host of chic treats boasting the most beautiful colour palette imag...
My Favourite Affordable Skincare Brand Just Landed at Boots, and I’m So Excited
While I’ve never thought of myself as a particularly extravagant person, I recently totted up my regular skincare routine and found that it totalled an eye-watering £669. Yikes. With that in mind, I’ve been busy testing more affordable skincare options than ever in my quest to find efficacious products that don’t compromise on results. Currently, I am somewhat obsessed with Versed, our sister skincare line in which every single product clocks in at £20 and under. And the affordable price tag doesn’t mean that you’re compromising on quality. Every product is made from clean, simple ingredients that have been sustainably sourced and tirelessly tested for maximum results. From cleansers and serums to moisturisers and eye creams, it’...
The 2021 Co-Ord Trend That I’m 100% Here For
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of a co-ord, or any outfit that takes less than a minute to style, for that matter. When time is of the essence or, you know, you just don’t have the brain capacity to make any decisions (same), a matchy-matchy pairing is a godsend. If you find yourself nodding in agreement, it’s my happy duty to tell you that one of this summer’s key trends falls neatly into the low-maintenance co-ord category.

These Romantic Trends Are All I Want to Wear This Summer
Romance hasn’t exactly been the cosiest of bedfellows to the pandemic. Dates and special moments have been on hold, and the monotony of our daily lives hasn’t made for the best backdrop to grand gestures, darling fashion moments and Instagrammable opportunities. But the restrictions (both physical and sartorial) of the last year led to fashion lovers finding an outfit outlet for their most whimsical aesthetic dreams: Cottagecore took off in a big way during 2020, and the look has now developed to encompass almost everything under the category of romantic.

Fashion People Love Straight-Leg Jeans—Here’s How They Style Them
It’s hard to remember a time when straight-leg jeans didn’t live in our wardrobes, but, alas, it did exist. Before their popularity spike, skinny and boyfriend jeans were the dominating styles, with few options in between. Bridging the gap, straight-leg jeans boast the streamlined silhouette skinny-jean devotees love while featuring a relaxed cut reminiscent of the looser boyfriend fit. This combination is precisely why fashion people love them—they’re not too tailored, nor are they too undone; they strike the perfect jean balance. Although they’re easy to wear, coming up with new and exciting jeans outfits can be a struggle, especially if you’ve been living in little else but hoodies of late. In the nick of time, however, just as spring begins to catch up wit...
Yes, We’re Still Talking About Guess’s Telfar Handbag Knockoff, Because It Was So Wrong
In 2020, Telfar bags were — and still are — the hottest thing since sliced bread. If you didn’t have one, you were on the constant hunt for one, and if you already had a couple, you were still trying to secure more of the iconic vegan leather shopping bags. This buying frenzy meant that the bag was being worn by It girls, celebrities, regular working girls (like myself) — and even Real Housewives of New York star Sonja Morgan who went a full season wearing the shopping bag as if she was being sponsored (she wasn’t). This is Telfar’s impact. This is why what Guess did to the beloved brand feels so wrong and so deeply personal for its customers. “When I wear my Telly and see others in the streets wearing theirs, I feel like I’m a member of an exclusive club of p...
Ganni and Ahluwalia Collaborate on the London Brand’s First Venture Into Womenswear
Could a fashion collaboration be any cooler? We don’t think so. Circular fashion advocate Ganni is collaborating with emerging London-based brand Ahluwalia for Ganni’s 2021 reworked collection. Ganni x Ahluwalia includes an edit of outerwear, dresses, skirts, and tops made from the brands’ surplus materials. This will be Ahluwalia’s first venture into womenswear and the first of two 2021 collaborations with Ganni. Priya Ahluwalia is the trailblazing British designer of eponymous fashion brand Ahluwalia. The designer is the recent winner of the 2021 Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design, which is the latest in a list of impressive accolades — including being part of the British Fashion Council’s 2019/2020 NewGen initiative and the recipient of the 2020 LV...
My Mum Looks 10 Years Younger Than She Is—This Is the Product She Swears By
When I was a child in the ’90s, I always saw my mum as being “old.” She wasn’t. In fact, being 38 when I was born, she was far from it. But in my mind, she was way older than the other mums at my school, and so, to my pre-pubescent self, she was neither cool nor youthful. Thirty years on, however, I now look at my mum—who is now approaching 70—and only see how radiant and bright she looks. The most frustrating thing though is that whenever I’ve asked my mum about the products she likes or I give her products to try she’ll say, “You know me, Kesh. I only like oils.” And it’s true. She’s not a huge beauty lover like I am—I’m a true magpie when it comes to trying all the latest buzzy ingredients. In contrast, eve...
I’m A Size 24 Fashion Designer—and This Is Where I Shop for Dresses
When it comes to plus-size dresses, on the high street, I’m impressed by Never Fully Dressed’s curve options, but I’m hoping they continue to expand their size range as they mostly only go up to a 24. It’s exciting that Anthropologie’s plus-size collection is now available in the UK, I think they can be good for a ‘put together, special dress’ or an easy summer chuck-on style. Another high street brand I love is Neon Rose, I think they do cute styles and push the trend look a little bit further than other plus ranges. A lot of the time where you might have a trend happening, the plus range will get a watered-down version or you might get the trend style five months later than everyone else, I really hope brands stop doing this. Luxury wise I’ve been looking towards 11 Honoré and ...
The 25 Best Items on The Outnet Right Now, According to this Fashion Editor
One of my best kept secrets as a fashion editor is THE OUTNET. Ok, I may have told a *few* people about it by now and all my ‘fashion’ friends are fangirls with me, but I’m often still amazed when other friends aren’t as familiar with it. I mean, how do they think I’m affording this wardrobe if not for THE OUTNET’s discounts?! Seriously though, as I’m getting older and, like everyone these days, more aware of the impact my shopping habits are having on the world, I’ve started pledging to buy less and invest smarter. Not every brand I buy is perfectly sustainable yet, but if I can try to create less waste and buy better quality pieces that I cherish for longer, that’s a start in my eyes.
