19 Stylish Mother’s Day Gifts That Are Sure to Bring Joy to Your Mum – at Every Budget
Mothering Sunday is right around the corner — Sunday, March 14. We all know the most valuable Mother’s Day gift is quality time. But if presence is already in abundance between you and the mum in your life, then we’ve found some treats that she will absolutely love. There are a few gifts that are sure to inspire a smile — jewellery, fragrance, small leather goods, and decor. When it comes to jewellery, we’ve handpicked two pieces from Missoma and Alighieri that would suit either a lover of minimal, classic jewellery or a woman who loves to rock a conversation-starting piece. If you’re unsure about her jewellery style, then a jewellery travel case from Pandora or a gorgeous piece of vintage home décor is a good shout. If the mum in your life loves a beautiful scent, ...
COS, Mango and Arket Have So Many Expensive-Looking Bags
There is nothing I love more than finding an item of clothing or accessory that looks pricer than it really is. I like to think of my ability to spot these pieces very easily as a bit of a superpower. Rather helpfully, the high street is nailing it right now when it comes to affordable but expensive-looking accessories. Three stores in particular—COS, Mango and Arket—all stock totes, clutches and crossbody bags that look way more expensive than their prices. I’d argue they even look designer. In some cases, I bet plenty would say the bags come from places such as The Row or Bottega Veneta. These are bold claims, but I honestly believe that the high street has never been better for great affordable bags. Over the years, I&#...

I Am 99.9% Certain These Will be the Most Popular Sandals This Summer
Over the past 18 months we have seen a shift towards practicality in fashion, and this is seen most acutely with footwear. We need our shoes to be able to take us on countless laps of the park without causing us any trouble, and so high heels have been universally retired. Fashion brands have for several seasons been bringing us sturdy, responsible shoes—the kind of styles that you’d try to run away from when finding shoes at Clarks in year six. Think T-bar loafers, chunky lace-ups and fisherman sandals. The Row and Gabriella Hearst both are adored for their discreet and quiet take on luxury fashion, and although both tend to shy away from anything too flashy or trend driven, they both have a habit of dictating the silhouettes that we’ll be gravitating towa...
Alexa Just Wore the Spring 2021 Outfit Everyone Is Going to Copy
Of all the lessons I have learnt this past year, realising I get a lot of enjoyment out of celebrities and their fashion choices isn’t exactly the most profound. But honestly, who can say they haven’t missed the grandiosity of the Met Gala and the outrageous outfits that all come Anna Wintour-approved? Or the high glamour of awards ceremonies (I know we’ve just had the Golden Globes, but you’re lying if you think it’s the same pre-COVID). And what with fashion week front rows not returning any time soon either, I feel I have been starved of A-lister style. I just really want to look at outfits that are massively out of my price range but still inspire me. Praise be, then, to the likes of Alexa Chung who clearly knows what we’ve ...
6 Workout Trends That Will Make You Want to Move in 2021
For many people, myself included, getting our daily exercise has been one of the few things keeping us going through lockdown. Whether it’s a walk to grab coffee, a quick yoga class after work, a gentle lunchtime stretch or a blow-away-the-cobwebs morning run, it’s amazing how important moving has become as we found ourselves increasingly confined to our homes. At risk of sounding like a fashion editor cliche, I do find that having nice gym-wear can be one way to ensure I actually make it out of the front door. Of course, form and functionality have to go hand-in-hand when it comes to activewear, but as more and more brands jump on the workout bandwagon, we find ourselves spoilt for choice. Case in point: Arket’s...
Here’s What a Dermatologist Really Thinks About These 6 Viral Skincare Products
While social media can be a hub for all things fashion and beauty, skincare is a topic that can get a little tricky, especially when certain products start to trend. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been guilty of succumbing to a viral product only to be disappointed when it didn’t exactly work for my skin. While following trends for clothes and makeup can be an easier feat, with skincare, it’s crucial to be cautious because what works for others may not work for you, and some products may seem like they’re working but can actually cause damage and irritation later on. It’s important to pay close attention to the ingredients before purchasing a product and to consult an expert if possible, especially if you’re facing s...

6 Trending Spring Jackets Actually Tempting Me to Go Outside
Depending on which day you read this, there are currently around 17 days until spring officially starts, but we’re already beginning to see its effects. Sure, it’s still pretty cold out, but even the chilliest regions (where I live being one of them) are witnessing other signifiers that spring is indeed on the way; lighter and longer days. While I ordinarily love the winter months—bundling up and heading out for a steaming hot chocolate is one of my favourite pastimes—this year I find myself willing springtime to come. And what better way to prepare for its arrival than by thinking ahead to all the spring jackets I’ll get to wear. Making the switch from coats to jackets feels transformative; there’s something so hopeful about being able to step outside in ...
We Don’t Mean to Brag, But We’ve Found Spring’s First It Bag
Woody is a little different from its iconic siblings. Firstly, the bag’s not made from leather, real or faux. Instead, Woody’s body is constructed using a heavy-duty, durable canvas, trimmed with flashes of rust-coloured leather, which flank the logo-emblazoned cotton canvas ribbon handles. A thing of beauty, and although it’s undoubtedly made with the warmer months in mind, we’re already predicting the Woody will be a sell-out as soon as it debuts. Why? Because the shoe iteration was, and remains, a best-seller. Also affectionately named Woody, the flat rubber and cotton canvas slip-on sandal was a huge hit this past summer and has recently seen a restock at Net-A-Porter. Naturally, after its success, the designer shopping behemoth has also invested in th...

21 Colourful Spring Dresses For Welcoming the New Season in Style
A statement midi dress is the unofficial uniform of the spring season. Every year, we get chuffed to tuck away our jumpers and joggers and break out those easy, breezy dresses. And this season, we’re especially keen on choosing dresses that are bold and colourful for refreshing our style after a long, chilly winter. For spring 2021, we’re shopping seersucker dresses, sheer midi dresses covered in printed graphics, colourful knitted dresses, and eco-friendly designs made from organic cotton and regenerated materials. The best brands for finding a standout spring dress are Rixo, House of Sunny, Ghost, Kitri, & Other Stories, and Paloma Wool. If you’re keen to splurge on an investment dress, then check out Jacquemus, Rejina Pyo, Tove, or Stine Goya. And if you fancy addi...
