45 Fashion Week Moments That Stopped Us in Our Tracks
London Fashion Week, much like last season, isn’t quite how it was this time last year. And we honestly don’t know when that will change. It’s a great privilege to run around to show after show, looking at beautiful garments and spotting A-listers on the front row (and maybe even sitting next to one), and I really, really miss it. Twice a year, it’s exactly like being back at school—you see friends you haven’t seen in a while, you get to gossip, catch up and have a giggle. Yes, there are some ridiculous sights to see too, I won’t deny that, but it’s a moment in the calendar when we all get the chance to really celebrate the creativity of the fashion industry. We can take a step back and see how designers are interpreting our world ri...
We Can’t Count the Number of WhatsApp Messages We’ve Sent About This Serum
Described as a “miracle serum for super glowy, dewy, healthy skin” on the Beauty Pie website, I have to admit that it sounds pretty special. Containing three different weights of hyaluronic acid (for a major moisture injection) along with skin-plumping ceramides and smoothing peptides, it’s basically a great serum for all skin types. The reviews speak for themselves, too: “Stock up on this product when you get a chance,” says one reviewer. “Made a difference in one night,” another said. If this isn’t a product with cult status, I don’t know what is. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be.

Trust Me—This Easy Hair Colour Trend Will be Huge in 2021
First things first—I think we can all agree that box dye disasters and home haircuts with the kitchen scissors need to be firmly left in 2020. After all, nothing beats a professional touch: that feeling when you get to see your hair in the mirror, your colour is all glossy, your strands are perfectly styled, you can hear angels singing… Yes, it’s safe to say that I am itching to get back into the salon—and I’m not alone. With our desire for a professional application at its peak, it’s no wonder that colourists are predicting that one of the biggest hair trends we’ll see this year is money piece hair—an easy way to completely transform your look without chopping all your hair off or going for a full colour transformation that demands a lot...
These 3 New Products Are Giving Me Celeb-Levels of Glowy Skin
I know that spring doesn’t officially arrive in the UK until next month but there’s something about February that always has me desperate to shrug off my cosy knitwear and rich moisturisers and embrace a lighter approach to layering. When it comes to beauty in particular, that means a shift towards sheer, featherweight formulations that will deliver some much-needed luminosity to my tired, winter skin. So when I heard that Charlotte Tilbury, the queen of glow herself, was launching two new radiance-boosting products, I couldn’t wait to try them.

Joy Crookes on That Brit Awards Look: “I Dressed as the Girl I Always Wish I Saw on TV”
this time last year I went to the Brits and dressed as the girl I always wish I saw on TV pic.twitter.com/2fjUtDGZNP — Joy Crookes (@joycrookes) February 18, 2021 It’s officially been a year since the BRIT Awards last took place, and we’re still talking about some of the amazing fashion from the event. One look in particular stands out, however. On 18 Feb. 2020, singer-songwriter Joy Crookes paid the ultimate tribute to her roots, walking the red carpet in an Indian lehenga and chunni (top and skirt with a matching scarf), something you don’t usually see at Western award shows. Nominated for the Rising Star Award, she spoke to BBC about her red carpet statement and said that she hoped that “young girls can see someone who looks like their mum, their auntie, their gr...
8 Easy Spring Outfits to Try This Weekend
I don’t know about you, but over the last 2 months my wardrobe has experienced a serious case of Groundhog Day. Jumpers, joggers, slippers, jumpers, joggers, slippers—the repetitiveness of my outfits has become quite an apt metaphor for the monotony of lockdown. Needless to say, I think we’re all craving a little variety in our lives right about now, and if nothing else, the changing of the seasons will offer just that. While we still don’t know when ‘normality’ will resume, we can still rely on the longer days and warmer temperatures to mix things up in the fashion department. If you’ve been following the weather forecast as closely as I have (I mean there’s nothing else to do, right?) you’ll know that warmer days are on their way,...

& Other Stories Cult Blazer Is Back For 2021 and It’s Perfect For Spring
They say nothing haunts you like the things you didn’t buy (or something like that, right?). Regardless, it’s a feeling of regret I know all too well. Last year, I fell head over heels for a cover-up from & Other Stories. Specifically, a woollen blazer. A light beige hue with an oversized silhouette and a weighty, woven finish, the blazer would make for the perfect accompaniment to my off-duty jeans-and-jumper outfits. It would also make for a chic throw-on over printed dresses and pleated midi skirts. Maybe I was waiting for payday, or perhaps I’d recently bought something else. Whatever the reason, I decided to wait for a couple of weeks to treat myself. However, as you’ve likely already surmised, it sold out before I could get my hands on it. As such, I spent...

These Sunglasses Will Make Any Outfit Look 10 Times Cooler
Some people would argue that it’s shoes or handbags that “make” an outfit, but I’d say there’s nothing quite as impactful when you’re out and about as a pair of great sunglasses. Like a cute puppy or intriguing perfume, you will get asked about them. Sunglasses can show confidence if you’re wearing a bold pair. They can indicate in-the-know status if you’ve chosen a niche brand. No other accessory holds the mystical cool-factor that comes with covering one’s eyes/hangover/real feelings [delete as appropriate]. And they can demonstrate the power of a cult classic—choose the right frames for your face and you have a buddy for life (so long as you don’t sit on them). I also think the right shades can ele...

Everyone Cool I Know Wants a “Chore” Jacket and Now I Do Too
Thanks to Taylor Swift, Cottage Core and the fact that we’ve gravitated to the more functional items of clothing this year, the shacket has really been having a moment. From Zara to Isabel Marant, there’s no escaping this woolen checked shirt. But, if you’re panicking that your shacket’s days are numbered thanks to the upcoming spring weather, then do I have good news for you. It’s time, dear reader, to consider the chore jacket, also known as the worker jacket or French workers jacket. Created in a cotton or denim, it’s a boxy, loose-fit jacket that often comes with four pockets (hello, functional), and buttons at the cuffs.
