This New Spring Collection is Guaranteed to Put a Smile On Your Face
If optimistic dressing wasn’t a thing before 2020, it certainly is now. Picking joyful, timeless pieces for our spring wardrobes will go some way towards making us feel good in what we wear, and that’s often half the battle when taking on the day. But it will also energise us for the year to come, an idea that designers clearly clung to when they were working on their recent SS21 collections. As a result, feel-good prints and bold colours were seen all over the catwalks, whether that meant hot pink feathers at Halpern, or starfish-print dresses at Versace. Luckily this positive approach has also been adopted by some of our favourite affordable brands, making it even easier to incorporate into our everyday wardrobes. Next’s new Label/Mix collection is a case in point. Since ...

These 26 New Zara Items Are So Good—There’s No Way They’ll Be in Stock for Long
If you’re as big of a Zara fan as I am, you know that in order to score the best products from the retailer, you better be stalking the new arrivals section like there’s no tomorrow. Zara products have a tendency to sell out at the speed of light, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t worth fighting for. Since I know you probably have better things to do besides awaiting the new arrivals to drop on the Zara website, I decided to do you a favour and stalk the site for the best new pieces myself. Ahead, you will see the 30 new Zara items I am deeming the cream of the crop. Naturally, I am predicting the shopping selection ahead won’t be in stock for long, so if you’ve been itching to do a little retail therapy, now’s your chance. Get ready to ...

19 Stylish Clothing Brands That Fashion Editors Are Loving in 2021
We all love musing over designer brands, but midluxury fashion is our true weakness. With the advent of social media, discovering unique independent clothing brands is easier than it’s ever been. Almost weekly, we discover an online shop selling a statement dress that captures exactly how we feel. So just in case you are wondering which brands are in style in 2021, we made a list of some of our favourites. Much of the beautiful clothes on our social feeds are designed by independent shops located here in the UK, with a few from the US, France, Spain, Sweden, and Denmark. Each of these small brands offer a unique take on the zeitgeist of the moment — including puff-sleeve dresses, oversize collars, patchwork pieces, sheer fits, and period drama-inspired silhouettes to fill every fashi...
Victoria Beckham Shares Her Love for the Canadian Tuxedo With New Autumn 2021 Collection
Victoria Beckham presented its autumn/winter 2021 fashion show at London’s Hayward Gallery, located in the Southbank Centre on Saturday, 13 Feb. Continuing the brand’s theme of strong tailoring paired with delicate dresses, VB’s new collection is about dressing for comfort and protection in uncertain times. There’s a militant approach to Victoria Beckham autumn 2021, with the theme explored in a palette of navy, red, black, and white with oversize suiting and gold-embossed military-style buttons. The utilitarian theme is meant to complement our need for protection, while also channeling our longing for comfort — as seen in loose-fitting paper bag trousers and more fluid pieces that connect to the delicate side of the VB woman. The bold red and bright pinks of the co...
Alexander McQueen and Vestiaire Collective Collaborate on a Secondhand Clothing Edit
Vestiaire Collective and Alexander McQueen are collaborating on a circular fashion initiative. To debut Vestiaire Collective’s new “Brand Approved” program, Alexander McQueen will buy back pieces from some of the fashion house’s longstanding clients, and list these preloved designs through Vestiaire Collective’s online platform. “There is an urgent need to address the way we currently produce and consume fashion,” said Vestiaire Collective co-founder Fanny Moizant in a press statement. “Vestiaire Collective’s ‘Brand Approved’ programme offers a sustainable solution, reinforcing the importance of durability, whilst empowering first-hand fashion players to disrupt their linear business models and embrace circularity.

The Boots I Plan on Wearing for the Next Six Months
I apologise if the phrase ‘kitten heel’ is at all triggering for you. For me it conjures up strong memories of a certain year in secondary school when pointed, kitten heeled shoes were the ‘thing’ to be seen in—I was not allowed them as they were against the school dress code (bring in the tiny violins). But then again, I was less sad when I saw the tatty state these heels were in after few weeks of being stomped across concrete-clad school grounds. Luckily, you’ll be glad to hear that the kitten heels of 2021 could not be further than the flimsy styles worn by noughties school girls.

I’ve Been Wearing a Smartwatch for a Year and I’m Never Going Back
I’ve never really been a watch person, let alone a smartwatch person. Ever since I got my first mobile from the age of about 17 (shout out to my fellow old Millennials), I’d always use my phone to check the time. And as they slowly became everything in our lives (camera, news, social life), it seemed weird that I’d want something separate from it. Everything was in one place, it was so convenient. But then a few things happened. Firstly, I started running again, and wanted to track my progress without whipping out my phone all the time. Second, staring at your phone all day to check the time isn’t actually that handy when you’re with a toddler. And finally, there was the pandemic. Honor kindly lent me its smartwatch to trial back in February 2020, ju...
I’m a Beauty Editor, and These Are the 15 Under-£10 Products I Buy
I have tried many a designer nail colours over the years but I have to be honest, I don’t think there is any point spending a lot of money on a nail polish. These gel-effect ones from Barry M are as good as they come and they’re so cheap. I love the colours and the finish and they last just as long—if not longer—than most of the nail polishes with bigger price tags. Plus, I love buying a couple of new shades each season to test out the trending colours without breaking the bank. Up next, these cheap moisturisers are just as good as their expensive counterparts.

7 Items I’m Wearing to Stay Warm On Weekend Walks
Like most people in lockdown, my weekend plans suddenly involve long winter walks. I love a long, blustering walk, but I wouldn’t typically choose to spend so much time outside in January. Whether you’re walking in Hampstead Heath, Hackney Marshes, or the Highlands, you’ll need practical items that will keep you warm until spring arrives. If you want outfits that will keep you toasty but are a little more interesting than a boring fleece and thermals, below, you’ll find seven items that will see you through a winter of outdoor activities in style. The first essential item you’ll need is a coat that will act like your very own portable heater, so I recommend you start with a puffer coat. Then, you’ll need all the classic winter staples for laye...
