The Pretty Spring Print Trends Brit Girls Are Really Invested In
As you’d expect for spring, there are florals, but that’s no bad thing. There are bold blooms set against contrasting palettes to striking effect, as well as ditsy petals that climb their way from tiered skirts to high, Victoriana necklines. Then things take a retro turn with paisleys painted in rich sepia tones, while ever-classic monochrome polka dots present a pared-back alternative for the minimalists amongst us. Throw in an updated, more elevated take on leopard spots, and Oasis has ticked off every printed trend of note this season. It turns out we’re not the only ones impressed by Oasis’s spring lineup, as it has caught the eye of some of our favourite influencers, too. Each with different sartorial identities, Eni Ilori, Holly Rebecca White, and Pascale Banks prove that ...
17 Eye Creams That Celebrities and Beauty Editors Swear By
Eye cream is one of those skincare products most of us still aren’t sure we actually need. While more mature skin can really benefit from an eye cream in order to target fine lines and wrinkles (if that’s what floats your boat), it can feel unnecessary for younger skin types or people who just aren’t fussed about disguising the signs of ageing. So can’t we just use our usual moisturisers all over our faces? Turns out no. “A great eye cream has a formula which is gentle enough for the most delicate skin on our body,” explain VENeffect founders Rebecca and Cecil Booth. The skin around the eyes is particularly sensitive (and some of the thinnest on your face); therefore, it needs a special type of product. Booth recommends an eye treatment that’s...

Kygo Releases Golf Collection in Collaboration with Puma
Weeks after the release of his noise-canceling headphones, Kygo is back with another merchandise drop. This time around, he’s targeting golfers with a new series of gear in collaboration with Puma Golf. The collection is branded under Kygo’s Palm Tree Crew line. Fans will be able to order shirts, shorts, shoes, hats, a belt, a mini-speaker, and even a limited edition driver. Golf fanatics and EDM fans alike were also excited to see PGA superstar Rickie Fowler joining in on the campaign—including Kygo himself. “Golf is one of my favorite hobbies when I’m not touring or making music,” Kygo said in a press release. “Rickie and I had wanted to team up with our brands and make something special that not only we could enjoy but our fans and supporter...
Kygo Teams Up With Puma Golf for a Tropical New Collection
“I’ve known Kygo and Myles and have been part of the Palm Tree Crew for a while now. Puma Golf and I have been together since the beginning,” Fowler mirrored. “I worked with both teams to help create a cool collection that will make golfers feel like they’re a part of the Crew. This collab brings two of my worlds together. I couldn’t be happier – we nailed it.” The collection features everything from shorts, crewnecks and polos to snapback hats, belts and more, plus a one-of-a-kind Cobra Radspeed Palm Tree Crew Driver, a limited edition driver in the collection’s navy and gold color way.

Sorry White T-Shirts, This is the Only Top I’m Wearing This Summer
For 2021 my aim is to be as self-disciplined as possible when it comes to trends. While I think designers should keep pushing towards a more timeless approach to design that prioritises longevity, it can be too easy to demonise the concept of trends as a whole. Ultimately, re-invention is what makes fashion so exciting, the key is to just focus on styles that remain true your personal style and that don’t run the risk of being worn once then discarded. With this lens in place, I’ve been passing my eye over the trends that are coming up for spring/summer 2021 and making a shortlist of styles that I feel will slip into my pre-existing wardrobe with ease. My first point of call? The waistcoat. You Deserve to Make Money Ev...
I Love Expensive Candles, But These Under-£20 Ones Are Just As Good
I blame my job for my addiction to expensive candles. Before I worked in the beauty industry, candles were something that I was bought as a gift for birthdays or Christmas, not something that I’d purchase for myself. However, one of the perks of my job is that I’m sent luxury products to try that I would never usually dream of buying—and candles are one such product. Over the last few years I’ve had the chance to try the fanciest candles from brands like Cire Trudon, Bella Freud and Tom Dixon and I now have a taste (or should that be nose) for the good stuff. However, I am more than aware that dropping £80 on one candle is, quite frankly, ludicrous. My dad would tell me that it’s literally like burning money away and, to be totally honest, heR...
39 Celebs and Fashion Girls Who Are Making Me Want to Chop Off All My Hair
When it comes to my hair, I tend to fluctuate between two lengths: just above my shoulder or just above my boobs (both technical terms). Yet there always comes a time with both lengths when I start to feel like I want to either chop it all off and start again or indulge my inner Rapunzel and grow it out super long. Right about now, I’m at the “chopping it all off” stage, mainly down to the fact that I’m seeing cool, short hairstyles pretty much everywhere I look, and the fact that I can’t get a haircut right now. Yes, short hair is definitely trending, and I want in. However, ahead of booking in when salons reopen, I think it’s best I start to garner some expert advice on potential styles. “Short hairstyles are on-trend at the moment...
It’s 2021, and These 10 Female-Founded Beauty Brands Are Thriving
One of the best parts of my job (aside from testing out curly-hair products or getting makeup artists to share their secrets) is the opportunity to discover new beauty brands and the founders behind them. There’s something magical about unearthing what seems like a hidden gem or spotlighting a new business, and in 2021, it’s clear that championing female-founded businesses is more important than ever. COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted women, with estimates that 47 million women will be pushed into extreme poverty, causing the wage gap to increase. Basically, our strides toward gender equality within the workspace are slipping (a recent study from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce showed female-owned businesses struggling more than t...
Jasmine Harrison, Youngest Woman to Row Solo Across Any Ocean, on How Music Powered Her Boat
Jasmine Harrison is not a musician. She has never picked up a microphone or downloaded music production software. She’s only danced to one song in her entire life, albeit an embarrassing one. But after making history as the youngest woman to row solo across any ocean, she is living proof that music can propel anyone to do extraordinary things. Accompanied by nothing but a playlist and the mesmeric, repetitive splosh of her oar slicing the ocean’s surface, Harrison, 21, traversed the Atlantic Ocean in 70 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes. However, with a bubbly naiveté rarely found in a barnstorming, record-breaking heroine, you wouldn’t know it when speaking to her. And after the enormity of her accomplishment finally sunk in, even she can’t believe it was her....
