So Many Influencers Can’t Be Wrong—These Really Are the Perfect Gold Hoops
I’ve never been much of a jewellery person. I always prefer to stick to a small number of hardworking pieces that I can throw on with any outfit on any given day. Within this selection, the gold hoop is probably the style I rely on the most, whether it’s for heading out for drinks (ahh, those were the days) or adding polish to a chunky knit when WFH. Hunting down the perfect pair, however, is an unexpectedly difficult task, as so many things come into play: size, width, price, shape, and material. In my experience, finding a sweet spot in the middle of this Venn diagram is all but impossible. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

The One “Naked” Trend I’m Actually Buying Into This Year
There’s no doubt that the year 2021 has been sent to try us. And while there are absolutely bigger things to concern ourselves with, I need to alert you to the fact that there’s yet another “naked” trend on the horizon for this coming season. While usually I’d find that pretty terrifying (personally, I like my clothes to actually clothe me), this is one look I’ve found myself drawn to. The cutout trend is easily the only way you’ll find me doing any sort of “naked” trend in 2021 (or ever, in fact). The beauty about this look is that it can be as subtle or as sassy as you like; a real spectrum on how to do it. The runway collections for spring/summer 2021 demonstrate this with delicate slashes in dresses over at Christoper Esb...
I Just Tried the New Curly-Hair Brand That’s Trending on Instagram
Ever wondered whether a new beauty launch or trending product is truly worth the hype? Good news—you’re in the right place. I Just Tried… is our regular beauty column where we test out everything from new formulations to cult classics to find out whether they’re really worth your money. Oh, and we’ll even answer the most-searched-for questions so you don’t have to. When a new brand launches and then takes ages to launch in the UK, naturally, the anticipation to get your hands on it builds more the usual. That is exactly what happened when I first heard about new curl brand on the block Bread Beauty Supply. The only thing that stopped me from ordering it from overseas when I first saw it trending on Instagram? Those international shipping costs. You see, ...
I Have Acne, and I Think This New Skincare Trend Is Already Helping Me
It might only be February, but there’s one skincare trend that’s already emerging as the leader of the pack for 2021: personalisation. For this year’s skincare report, I was lucky enough to talk to a whole host of skin experts, dermatologists, and brand founders, and it was the one theme that came up time and again. Just like their wardrobes, consumers are no longer satisfied with a one-size-fits-all approach to beauty, and it’s paving the way for a new wave of skincare brands offering bespoke, tailor-made solutions for our specific skin needs. As someone with acne-prone skin, this is music to my ears. I love skincare, but I’m well aware that for anyone dealing with more intense skin concerns—like acne, rosacea, or...
These Vintage-Inspired Brands Will Add Personality to Your Wardrobe
If you’ve read any of our recent reports on the growth of vintage fashion, you’ll know that old-school style has never looked cooler. Whether it’s a sign of people craving escapism and nostalgia during the lockdown, or simply a by-product of S/S 21‘s celebration of all things retro, it’s a trend that shows no sign of slowing down. Unsurprisingly, this shopping shift has inspired a slew of vintage-inspired brands to enter the market, all embracing a thoroughly retro aesthetic (there are no half-measures here). We’re talking wonderfully ruffled prairie dresses, swirling psychedelic ’70s prints and XXL collars that wouldn’t look amiss on a royal family member circa 1985.

All the Coolest Spring Jackets Have One Thing in Common
Like many Millennials, I spent a fair chunk of my teens clad in cropped tops and jackets: From the crew-neck tees and bleached denim of the ‘90s to the long-sleeve iterations of the mid-noughties, it really was the silhouette du jour. My feelings towards the trend have somewhat cooled over the last decade, partly due to changing personal preferences, but also as a side-effect of the ‘bigger-is-better aesthetic that has prevailed within the fashion world.

I Wore a New Hairstyle Every Day for a Month—Here’s What Happened
Doing my own hair has always been a challenge. Back in high school, I used to flat-iron it every day because I always believed straight hair was more beautiful. Unfortunately, that ended up causing irreversible heat damage and, ultimately, breakage. I started wearing weaves, and when that became too expensive, I decided to go natural. These days, I’m pretty happy with my hair and haven’t put much effort into switching up my hairstyle over the last decade. I’ve worn a curly Afro for years now, and I’ve grown to love it. But don’t get me wrong—my relationship with my ‘do has involved a lot of trial and error. I’ve broken countless hair picks and tried every product and hair fad you can think of (and spent a fortune doing so, might I ...

One Year Later, We’re Still Obsessed By the Chanel Logo Tights
In early March 2020, just weeks before the world went into lockdown, Chanel hosted its autumn 2020 runway show. Pairs of models stormed the runway in knee-high boots, strutting in unison while dressed in shades of tweed with bows in their hair. And while Chanel runways are always much-talked-about events, this season, in particular, one accessory seemed to steal the show. The brand debuted a range of logo-embellished CC tights, which the majority of models were wearing on the day, either in a white or black colourway. And as if by some kind of fashion editor intuition, the moment I saw them I just knew they would become a cult favourite. Unsurprisingly, almost a year later, the item remains in high demand, appearing on the Instagram feeds of several hig...
