The Experts Have Spoken—These 8 2023 Hair Trends Are the Only Ones That Matter
Blonde is back in a big way for 2023, but this time around, it’s high-maintenance, polished and expensive-looking. “When you think of glamour, you think Hollywood blonde,” says Zoë Irwin, creative director at John Frieda Salons. “We’ve grown up with Hollywood blonde, but now, the association of glamour has shifted. It’s now the ’90s yellow blonde,” she says, explaining that creamy yellow blondes are in big demand right now. “It’s uptown because it is a high-maintenance look, so after a couple of months, a root will appear, so it becomes an entire new type of colour look. To maintain this, you’ll need to be in the salon every three to four weeks,” she adds. Giuseppe Stelitano, creative director at Trevor Sorb...

So, which brands are best at nailing these trending styles? I’ve put together a handy round up of the 8 high street, mid-range and designer footwear brands that Brit girls are shop...

These Rollerball Perfumes Smell Intoxicatingly Good (and Are Carry-On Approved)
I’m pretty good at packing my entire life into a carry-on bag, but there’s always one thing that stumps me: my fragrance collection. I’m a die-hard fragrance lover, and my day-to-day life consists of choosing one of my many fragrances and spritzing it on with ease.

So Long, High Heels—These Are the Party Shoes Every Fashion Person Wants Now
I have a pretty big thing for shoes. A fashion editor who loves shoes? Go figure! But out of all the items you can decorate your wardrobe with, shoes are the piece that I find the hardest to resist. Sizing is seldom an issue with shoes, and 11 years into my career, I’m still impressed by how the simple switch of footwear can completely reimagine an outfit. As such, I’m always open to adding new styles to my wardrobe. The pair I currently have my eye on? Gucci’s incredibly popular crystal, kitten-heel slingbacks. Is your interest piqued? It should be. I first saw Gucci’s crystal slingbacks last winter—its GG logo applied delicately to mesh in teeny rhinestones. Although they’re the perfect low-heel shoes for parties and weddings, at the time, my social calendar didn’t call for the...
