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. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating sho...

This Trending Candle Is All Over My Feed, and I Love It
You’ve probably seen Loewe candles sitting prettily in stylish spaces during Instagram scrolling sessions, but you’d be forgiven for not realising it. The candles, which come in three sizes, are housed in ribbed terracotta earthenware pots, with only a small Loewe logo embossed into the clay near the base. Each pot is painted a different, on-trend hue depending on the scent, which means you can pick and choose which colour best suits your decor. And while you mightn’t necessarily think of Loewe as a homeware brand, the collection has proven to be a passion project for the brand’s creative director, Jonathan Anderson. ‘Everything has been crafted in some way. The ceramic pots are based on a Greek mug that I bought several years ago in an auction. Although ...

This Is My Third Mother’s Day—These Are the 31 Presents I’d Actually Like
I’ll admit that previously I’ve been a little puritanical about the kind of Mother’s Day gifts I’m open to receiving. “They must be practical!” I’d tell my husband, as if by the very fact that I had birthed a human that I no longer deserved “fun” or “silly” items that had no sensible purpose. In a turn around that will surprise absolutely no one who has been through the past year (so, quite literally, the whole world), I’m craving frivolousness.

Gen-Z Influencers Say These 5 Trends Are Going to Be Huge in 2021
I never expected to have an existential crisis about my emoji usage but we’re in the year 2021 so that’s pretty much par for the course. For context, when I was asking my Gen-Z cousins about fashion trends, I also discovered they would never use the laugh-cry emoji. I hate to break it to you my fellow Millennials but one of our most-used emoticons is a signifier that we’re no longer relevant (well, at least that’s how I’ve interpreted it *inserts laugh-cry emoji*). The good news is that while I might be, ahem, “old” in some ways, Gen-Z fashion trends are something I can get on board with. I spoke to a range of Gen-Z influencers from all over the world—from Indonesia to the UK—on the biggest trends for 2021 and what they’re wearing right now. I also spoke to Depop, whi...
I’m Sure This Controversial Leggings Trend Will Be Everywhere in 2021
If there’s anything last year taught us, it’s that loungewear isn’t going anywhere. During a time where comfortable clothing is being prioritised more than ever before, fashionable girls have naturally been searching for ways to make casual and cosy pieces feel as directional as possible. Leggings are usually at the forefront of most casual wardrobes, but this spring, some of Instagram coolest have proven that there’s a new style in town. It’s not quite a legging, not quite a bodysuit, but a new, rather adventurous hybrid. We’re not sure if we should be calling them bodysuits with shorts, jersey rompers, bike-suits or stretch playsuits, but hopefully, by listing all three, you’ll get a sol...
Best Wardrobes in Britain: Abisola Omole
Then you’ve turned your business more into studio hire and event production. Tell me about that. We started doing more event production and naturally started doing more set design. My love of interior design just came from the sheer amount of events we had to style and create from scratch in these blank-canvas locations. I got really, really into furniture and started sourcing more and more pieces, and learning about different designers, so as I developed each space it became more and more refined and I felt like I was really finding my design voice. It got to a point where we didn’t want to rent furniture for our events anymore and started to purchase them instead. Eventually, we got a space in Leyton to be our storage and office, but I decided to lay it out in situ and then p...
