Watch Daisy Edgar-Jones and Micheal Ward Attend a Garden Party Hosted by Simone Rocha x H&M
Simone Rocha is known for her romantic, girlish aesthetic inspired by pre-20th-century period fashion. For her first collaboration with H&M, Rocha is rediscovering the best designs from her past collections and creating a modern wardrobe for the entire family — including tulle dresses, separates, knitwear, outerwear, occasion wear, footwear, and casual pieces for women, men, and children. This is H&M’s first collaboration with an Irish designer. While Rocha is Irish-born, Simone Rocha x H&M will also be shaped by the designer’s multicultural heritage by featuring traditions and crafts from Hong Kong and references to iconic moments in art history. “We see glimmers of Tudor courtiers, wild florals, portraits and photographs, dolls and trinkets. There is tartan,...
Birkenstock Launches Limited-Edition Sandal Collection With Central Saint Martins
Popular German shoe brand Birkenstock launched its limited-edition shoe collection with Central Saint Martins students. The collection includes four rare Birkenstock sandals designed by four students from CSM’s MA Fashion course, and one archival Birkenstock style re-released by the brand for the first time. In 2018, Central Saint Martins and Birkenstock collaborated on a two-year project with the BA Fashion History & Theory and MA Fashion courses to expand the brand’s archive and create four new Birkenstock styles. Ten finalists from the MA Fashion course were selected by a panel of 12 industry experts — including Sarah Mower and CSM alumni Mary Katrantzou and Roksanda Ilinčić — to work on the Birkenstock x Central Saint Martins collection, of which four student designs qu...
If You Hate Shopping For Jeans, This New High Street Drop Is Here to Help
Monki’s new denim campaign poses the question, ‘looking for the perfect match?’ Well, aren’t we all, always? Finding those elusive dream jeans is in my opinion about as hard a challenge as training for a half marathon. We know it’s doable, but it takes a lot of time, effort and hard work to get there. With a plethora of different styles and colours on the market these days, differing fits across brands, and at a time when hunkering down and trying on a hundred pairs in a fitting room isn’t an option, the whole thing can seem a little intimidating. So, when a brand goes out of their way to help us in the search for great denim, we’re going to sit up and take notice. Enter Monki’s new spring drop and useful jeans guide. For a while we’ve known this under-the-radar high street...
Jewellery Experts Tell Me These Are the Earrings All the Cool Girls Want
While the rise in popularity of joggers and leggings isn’t surprising over the past year, the increase in sales of jewellery was little more interesting. On the face of it, it might seem strange that more are investing in items that are expensive but on closer inspection it’s no wonder. In times when we’re being more mindful of how we’re spending, shopping becomes a more considered affair. Classic items that fit right into your wardrobe and will last years are worth investing in, rather than flash-in-the-pan trends. The second reasoning is a little more obvious. As our clothes don’t do much showing off right now, where better to focus our personal style that via our jewellery choices? Both Net-a-Porter and Matchesfashion reported a big growth in sales acr...
It’s Only 19 Days Until Spring—We’ve Found So Many Perfect Dresses
I have to confess I’m writing this story away from my desk, and under my duvet, because it is that cold this week. It might be chilly outside, however, the daffodils in the supermarket and slightly lighter evenings are helping me to stay positive, and remember spring is just a mere couple of weeks away. Fun fact: The first day of spring is the 20th of March. One of the things I’m most looking forward to about spring is abandoning the many layers (so long, puffer!), and revisiting my dress wardrobe. New-in sections are helping me indulge in my spring daydreaming, as every day is bringing with it new summery items to scroll through. Floral tea dresses and check midi dresses are hardly groundbreaking, but these throw-on styles always sell out at record speed, and so...
Zara’s Summer Collection Just Dropped—and It’s Very, Very Good
The beach is by now a distant memory, however thanks to Zara’s new summer drop we have a (virtual) dose of holidays. In the sun-drenched campaign pictures, models wear scarves as tops, open-backed dresses and tie-dye silky pieces as they walk through the desert and along the coast. It’s pretty much lockdown torture, however as summer is around the corner it’s not a bad time to start thinking about hot-weather outfit ideas. If you ignore the backdrop, there are some items that would also prove useful for a spring spent in England, such as the flowing black wide-leg trousers, backless black dresses, leggings and tailored waistcoats. Most of the pieces in this summer collection are black staples, showing that you don’t have to wear light linens or dress like a rainbow ...
Meghan Markle Wearing Princess Diana’s Bracelet During the Oprah Interview Speaks Volumes
“Were you silent, or were you silenced?” asked Oprah Winfrey to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry in the couple’s forthcoming interview about their experience of royal life. Markle might have cautioned from opening up in Oprah’s interview teaser, but wearing her mother-in-law’s diamond tennis bracelet said more than enough. During the interview, Markle wears a Giorgio Armani long triple silk georgette dress (£3,300), Pippa Small 18KT gold and triple aquamarine Collette set necklace (£1,400), and a Cartier Love bracelet, along with a diamond tennis bracelet once owned by her mother-in-law Princess Diana. “My biggest concern was history repeating itself,” said Harry in the teaser, which seems to be referring the tabloid’s negative effect on his mo...
Dune’s Cult Sandal is Back For 2021 With Cool New Colourways
Back in June 2020 high street shoe saviour, Dune, released what had to be one of the coolest affordable sandals we’d seen all year. Chunky, textured and oh-so comfy, they quickly made the rounds on Instagram thanks to their high-end finish. I was very lucky to be sent a pair by the brand just before they sold out, and I literally wore them every day last summer. While they’ve been out of stock for months now, and have accrued a long waiting list, we can happily say that the sandal is back for 2021 and now comes in some very cool new colourways.

These 24 New-In Zara Buys Could Easily Pass As Designer
We’ve still got a few cold months to go, and Zara has just made seeing out the next few months feel like a fun sartorial challenge rather than a slow crawl to the warmer temperatures of spring. As with many other affordable brands, the ’90s are still reigning supreme right now across just about every product category. Instead of trudging up long-buried, cringe-worthy outfit flashbacks from our youth, Zara’s taken the best of the decade and turned it into a very chic 2021 capsule. The colour palette remains mostly muted, and the silhouettes are simple. Still, these pieces are anything but boring. So keep scrolling to see the best Zara buys, and shop them before they inevitably sell out. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Onlin...
Every Red Carpet Look From the Golden Globes You Need to See
With an award season unlike any other, the 78th Golden Globes have officially arrived. Rather than the typical Beverly Hills gala, the show will be hosted from both coasts, with Tina Fey at the Rainbow Room in NYC and Amy Poehler at The Beverly Hilton in L.A. Presenters are headed to the red carpet, while nominees are tuning in for the virtual show at home—and they’re all dressing up for the occasion. Without many red carpet moments to indulge in, in the last year, we’re looking forward to all of the show-stopping looks from nominees such as Andra Day, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Emma Corrin and presenters such as Awkwafina, Gal Gadot, and Cynthia Erivo (to name a handful). Ahead, we’re highlighting the award show looks that everyone will be talking about, including ones ...
These Golden Globes Looks Prove Red Carpet Beauty Is Back and Better Than Ever
While there won’t be a traditional red carpet at this year’s Golden Globes ceremony, the award show’s trademark glitz and glamour will remain steadfast, as always. Typically, we’d watch our favorite film and television stars spill out of their limousines decked out in jewels and jaw-dropping designer gowns, and 2021 won’t be that different—except, of course, that this year’s nominees will show off their head-turning fashion and beauty looks from all around the world and via the virtual safety of online attendance. Keep scrolling for all of the best red carpet beauty moments from 2021’s virtual Golden Globes. Cheers! You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

My Approach to Fashion Is “Buy Less and Smarter”—Here’s My 2021 Shopping List
When it comes to shopping, I tend to invest in great basics and pieces that I plan on having in my wardrobe for years ahead. In my closet, you’re bound to find items that I can wear on repeat with any number of outfits. It’s an approach to shopping that can be summed up as “buy less and smarter”. Each piece I add to my wardrobe is very intentional and I consider the cost-per-wear of each item when making a new purchase. It’s something that has always been a part of the way I shop. In fact, my first big fashion purchase ever was a nylon Prada messenger bag that I bought in high school and still wear on the regular to this day. As I think about my 2021 shopping, I have my “buy less but smarter” mindset in place and have narrowed in on some key fashion items for the season ahea...
