Trust Me—These Are the 16 Best Products From Drunk Elephant
It’s no exaggeration to say that when Drunk Elephant launched in the UK back in October 2018, skincare obsessives shed a collective tear. Gone were the end of beauty junkies having to beg friends, family and colleagues to bring back a piece of the clean-beauty action from any and all trips across the Atlantic—the much-hyped Instagram brand was finally on British shores. But it isn’t just beauty insiders and editors whose heads have been turned by the buzz of this trending beauty brand—it’s our fashion friends and style influencers, too. So, what’s the appeal? Maybe it’s something to do with the chic packaging (neon lids that pop against stark white tubes) or Drunk Elephant’s laid-back approach to application that. Encouraging consumers to cocktail their products, al...
21 Easy Curly Hairstyles for When You Need to Extend Your Washday
Let’s be honest—sometimes washday just has to wait. For those of us with curly and coily hair taking hours out of your day for a full routine just isn’t always possible. So, rather than doing a rushed job, it’s often better to prolong it. In my opinion, opting for an easy hairstyle until you have a day to do your full pre-wash detangle, cleanse, mask, condition and style normally yields better conditioned curls and coils in the long run. Trust me—there are so many ways you can hide that you’ve skipped your washday but a stylish updo is the fastest way to disguise any frizz or product build-up that you might be contending with. Plus, wearing a different style is the perfect way bring a little something new to your Zoom look. If you’re worried about the c...
These 10 Cos Bags Could Totally Pass As Designer
Earlier this year, there was a handbag that kept popping up on my Instagram feed, toted by some of the most stylish women I follow. It was a cream, bouclé clutch bag and if I’m being honest, I initially wrote off the item, under the assumption it was a unachievably-priced designer confection. However, upon closer inspection I realised that the item was in fact from high-street retailer, Cos. Don’t you just love it when that happens?

Get Ready For Spring With These 19 Easy Outfits
Spring 2021’s fashion trends have been beckoning us since last September when the fashion week presentations were flooded with statement suits, dreamy dresses, and streamlined understated separates. Though it may be the early days of 2021, out sights are firmly set on the springtime horizon. We understand that there might not be much motivation to dress up since you’ll mainly be at home, but the spring looks below look just as good inside as they do outside. We’re determined to find a way to start wearing spring-ready looks now—even if that means just adding a few bright colours to our outfits here and there. This year is still all about easy-to-wear dresses, but co-ords (particularly the knitted variety) and skirts have also risen their way to the top...
Every Cool Girl I Know Loves This Jeans-and-Shoes Pairing
Probably the most versatile item in your wardrobe, there’s no denying the appeal of jeans, but wearing them day in, day out can feel a little like Groundhog Day—particularly as we edge nearer to the end of winter. After wearing jeans exclusively with boots (or perhaps slippers) for a solid five months, now’s the time to switch up your footwear for something more springlike. Sandals still feel way off, so to bridge the gap, we suggest loafers. With the ability to add a polished vibe to any outfit, it’s little wonder that loafers feature in the regular rotations of social media’s sleekest dressers. You can thank Gucci for marking their return to the style agenda a few years back. Still, loafers have proven themselves to be a perennial favourite tha...
I Moved to Paris, and Now I Exclusively Wear These 4 Items With Jeans
As 2021 is all about long-lasting pieces for our wardrobes, it makes sense to turn to the most timeless and quintessentially Parisian outfit that can be worn year-round: jeans. These trousers are one of a Parisian’s wardrobe essentials and the item I’ve invested in most since I moved to Paris. The French don’t really do “dressing up,” and Parisians are always ones to choose comfort and practicality (sexy practicality, that is) over restricting or gaudy going-out outfits that are neither sexy nor effortless. It’s the key look for most French women I know, so here’s my roundup of a few of my favourite denim formulas I’ve come to rely upon… You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

9 Industry Experts on the Coolest British Fashion Brands to Buy Now
Paris is chic; Milan is maximalist; New York is polished. But London? London is, of course, eccentric. While that term is often overused when referring to fashion in the UK, there’s no escaping that Britain has a long history of being more experimental with its style. From Mary Quant to Vivienne Westwood; Alexander McQueen to Christopher Kane; Ossie Clarke to Ozwald Boatang. Whether it’s tailoring, incredible prints or new silhouettes, you can’t deny that British designers have often made their mark thanks to being in a hub of innovation, surrounded by different cultures and people pushing the boundaries across the arts world. I spoke to numerous fashion industry insiders, from buyers at some of the biggest luxury retailers to British influencers and designers a...
