I Got Lip Filler for the First Time—Here’s Everything You Need to Know
As a beauty editor, I am an eager and enthusiastic beauty guinea pig. I will happily experiment with the latest makeup trends and volunteer for all manner of professional facial treatments. I’ve tried full-body mud wraps, laser hair removal, flotation tanks, and I’ve got the #content to prove it. However, it’s admittedly taken me a few years to feel comfortable with the idea of (semi) permanently altering the appearance of my face. I’m talking, of course, about lip filler. Now one of the most-googled aesthetic treatments in the UK, lip filler has been embraced by everyone from celebrities and models to my fellow beauty editors and some of my closest friends. But it’s also one of the most misconstrued aesthetic treatments. Like many others, for years I was put off by the botched jobs that c...

I’ve Found 25 Unique Gifts From the Coolest Independent Brands
Over the past few years, all retailers have faced a huge strain and pressure due to the pandemic, and small brands have certainly felt the brunt of the restrictions, with endless challenges with manufacturing and delivery. However, the silver lining has been the outpouring of support for these small but mighty brands. Ever since the first lockdown back in March 2020, there has been a huge push across all sectors for consumers to buy local and buy small and use our spending power to support independent, small businesses. This doesn’t just apply to where we buy our bananas and our morning coffee but is something many of us will be considering when embarking on our Christmas shopping this year. Cathleen Nicol, founder of handbag brand C.Nicol, said last year to Who What Wear, “If...

Christmas-Jumper Kind of Person? These 25 Fantastic Versions Are for You
Despite enjoying fashion’s proclivity for being flamboyant, I’m usually the sort of person who dodges anything remotely festive. Halloween costumes are a strictly no-go area, Valentine’s Day isn’t worth celebrating (sorry), so then, of course, Christmas jumpers are completely out of the question. Don’t get me wrong—Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year, but when I start seeing the two words “novelty” and “knitwear” together, I want to run a mile. I dislike it all—from pullovers festooned with stick-out reindeer antlers to cable-knits with look-at-me tinsel embellishments. Camille Charrière knows exactly how to do Christmas jumpers the fashion way. Call me Ebenezer, but that doesn’t mean I’m completely averse to a bit of festive-style clothing. And this year just so happens to...

Enter Nicasio Fernandez’s Surreal World at Ross + Kramer Gallery
Nicasio Fernandez revealed his latest humanoid characters in a new solo exhibition at Ross + Kramer Gallery. Located in Chelsea, At Some Point explores ordinary scenes through an extraordinary lens. Each character in Fernandez’s universe is as if The Simpsons fused with Toys”R”Us’ Geoffrey the Giraffe. Fellow artist Andrew Sendor made the comparison to anthropomorphism, or the attribution of human features or behavior to nonhuman entities; as well as zoomorphism, when animal characteristics are given to humans. “The beings that populate Fernandez’s world slip in and out of these two states; ultimately, any summary of their identity is bound to leave the viewer in a whirl. Yet despite their mysterious identities and biology, their expressions of anxiety, disgust, fear, inferiority, and oppr...
