I’m going to make an assumption here that you own a white T-shirt or a white shirt, which means that, unless you’re purposely going for the showing-off-the-black-bra-underneath vibe, you need a decent nude bra. However—and let’s be honest—the term “nude” has often referred to pale skin tones rather than all skin tones. Thankfully, plenty of lingerie brands have moved on from this (even though there’s a long way to go for others) and there are now more brands than ever that offer a decent range of nude underwear for all skin tones. There’s Heist, which is personally one of my favourite places to shop tights, but it’s also great for underwear. From shapewear to bras, the brand offers so many gorgeous pieces that you don...
Trying to nail the perfect, natural-looking glow is certainly no mean feat. Trust me, I’ve been trying to suss it out for years. It seems some people are just born with a radiant complexion that oozes luminosity and health. In a bid to replicate this glow, I have tried virtually every single highlighting makeup product under the sun, and I am yet to find a formula that doesn’t give the game away somehow. Whether it’s chunky bits of glitter or my lack of ability to apply it to the most natural-looking places, I have been forced to admit defeat when it comes to highlight. So, with highlighters out of the question, I have had to think outside of the box when it comes to upping my glow game. From primers to serums and cleansers to foundations, I have searched high and low f...

Do leopard-print coats ever go out of fashion? We’d argue that they never do. Thanks to the likes of modern muses Kate Moss and Alexa Chung, this particular coat or jacket is always a great way to make an outfit suddenly more fabulous. So what do you need to know about 2020’s version of leopard-print outerwear? A couple of years ago, we were all after Victoria Beckham‘s new twist on the look. She gave it a whole new feel with her wide lapel and belted version. It was less about the oversize faux-fur look and more about making the coat super elegant. However, in 2020, there is a return to the classic faux-fur look, with the likes of Gucci producing some much-needed fabulousness with its over-the-top cuffed coat. Then there’s a sleek silk-twill iteration from Ga...
I’ve already professed my love of candles, but I found my collection mainly consisted of either pillar or those hand-poured into glass jars, so I decided to switch things up with a set of tapers. Their initial appeal was that they looked instantly fancy but what I found is that, when lit, they create a beautiful atmosphere and make the moment feel significantly more special. They’re also great for adding height to a tablescape, which makes it all the more visually exciting and appealing. What’s more, I’ve found that most taper candles are unscented, and therefore don’t create a fragrance clash with the food I’m serving. “A perfectly lit taper candle can be quite memorising,” says Tony Jack, founder of Fairholme candles. “The way the wax drips down the candle and onto a ca...
If, like me, you’re a big Byredo fan (or to be honest, even if you’re not), you’ll likely be aware of the eye-watering price tags that hang on their perfumes. When it comes to the scents themselves, though, their uniqueness and beauty goes unrivalled. Not only do the bottles look chic as hell on the shelf, what they hold is equally as appealing. Ouai, on the other hand, is a luxe haircare line that oozes the same sense of chicness, but it has an affordability to it that Byredo certainly does not. While your average Ouai haircare product might set you back something like £25, a bottle of Byredo perfume will cost over £100. So what if you had a product that smelled like Byredo but delivered results and cost the same as Ouai? Enter, Ouai X Byredo Super Dry Shampoo Mojave Ghost, £20. You Deser...
Marks and Spencer is one of our favourite places to shop for long-lasting wardrobe staples and has a strong track record of every day turning basics into cult items, whether it’s a grey jumper or a beige wrap coat. I am most impressed by M&S’ footwear department, and wear a pair of ballet pumps at least nine days out of ten, as they are the comfiest shoes I own. These £35 pumps have a high cut and a gentle V towards the toe, which make them appear more elevated that the classic almond toe. There’s something a little Phoebe Philo about this silhouette, no? I personally stick to the black pair, however they are also available in lavender, camel, leopard print, red and navy blue. Ballet pumps were the height of cool circa 2008 tha...

& Other Stories is a safe bet for most items you could ever want to buy. The midi dresses are always crowd-pleasers, the coats have long been a fashion-girl favourite and even the knickers and bras are excellent. But there is one section that is making us all want to shop: the cardigans. So far, 2020 has been the year of the cardigan (partly down to Katie Holmes and that viral cardi, not to mention a lot of time spent at home), and & Other Stories has quite simply the best selection on the high street. If you want something with a little personality, we love the ones adorned with gold heart buttons. There are also so many silhouettes to pick from—from short-sleeved pastel cropped knits that have something so “Princess Diana” about them to oversized wrap cardig...
Overlanding is all the rage right now, and with the pandemic still affecting everyone’s lives, what better way to social distance than to leave the city for some weekend car camping? We reached out to our friends at Thule to see about testing one of its rooftop tents on our long-term Outback. The company sent us its Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 ($1,699.95), which after we received it, definitely seemed like an ideal way to do a few Outbacky things. The Kukenam 3 accommodates up to three people (or 600 pounds, whichever comes first). Its internal frame, made from welded 5/8-inch aluminum tubing, is wrapped to protect it from weather damage. Thule says it’s “built to withstand any environment,” and although we can’t vouch for all potential conditions, it ...
If you’d asked my a few years ago about my thoughts on knitted vests, I would have told you that my only association with the item was the fact that Chandler Bing from Friends was their biggest fan. Though, over the last few seasons, the item has shed its previous connotations and become quite the fashion must-have. From runway to real life, knitted vests have gained popularity recently, so much so that the item has become one of the top picks amongst our readers this month. In fact, according to our data, H&M’s cable-knit slipover in particular has been the most purchased items amongst our audience for September. Now, that’s a pretty glowing recommendation. Created in a soft cream shade and featuring an intricate cable knit pattern, the item is practi...
September is, without a doubt, one of my favourite months. June, July and August are either too hot or a disappointment, and October and November are too dark. But September is the middle ground—a truly perfect 30 days. Fashion-wise it is the ideal time to wear your favourite pieces from summer but with a few additional layers for the autumnal months. And considering that most of us probably didn’t get the chance to showcase our favourite summer pieces this year, if you are heading back to the office, then now is the time. Of course, coming up with outfit ideas isn’t always easy so we’ve done some digging and found seven ideal looks that work for home or the office.
