When scrolling through Rachel Steven‘s Instagram you’ll find her style is defined by three key themes: wearable, timeless and minimalist. As much as I love to scroll through the aspirational outfits of many celebs, what makes Rachel’s Instagram feature all over my saved folder is that every look can be easily recreated, and on a budget if needed. During my deep-dive into the past few years of outfit inspirations, it was clear to see that Rachel’s looks rely on a select few items when autumn comes around, creating the ultimate capsule wardrobe. These great basics can be layered over each other, and mixed into various outfit formulas to make the most of your money and closet space. Win-win. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are loo...
Gigi Hadid’s laid-back style and Birkenstocks go hand in hand, so it wasn’t surprising to see her wearing them the other day in New York. They’re the ultimate throw-on-and-go summer shoes (spoken by someone who does so nearly every day). But they’re not the freshest shoes on the market, which is more than okay. That said, Hadid made them look fresh with her impeccable yet effortless outfit. On a hot summer day (which is every August day in NYC), Hadid paired her brown suede Arizona Birkenstocks with loose ripped jeans, a swimsuit (!) from her collection with Frankies Bikinis, and an oversize raffia Prada bag. I don’t know about you, but I fully plan on wearing baggy jeans, a swimsuit, and Birkenstocks this weekend, and I’ll have ...
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 a shoe can completely reimagine an outfit. As such, I’m always open to adding new shoes to my wardrobe. The pair I currently have my eye on? Gucci’s crystal 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 shoes for parties and weddings, at the time, my social calendar didn’t call for them. So I archived the shoes in the back of my mind...
There’s an effortlessness to Sienna Miller’s outfits that we are consistently keen to emulate. Whether she’s stepping out in a minidress or slouchy jeans, Miller knows how to curate a look that feels considered without being contrived. Whilst attending the 20th anniversary party at Deliciously Sorted, Miller once again provided a master class in smart-casual style. She paired white, low-rise jeans, the sort that are currently all over TikTok, with a cropped top and added a boho touch with a beaded belt—a harmonious laid-back look for her night out in Ibiza. It’s not the first time that she has opted for this reliable jeans-and-white-boots combo. Though sightings of Miller may be rare, many of her recent outings have featured this fail-safe formula,...
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 eleven years into my career, I’m still impressed by how the simple switch of a shoe can completely reimagine an outfit. As such, I’m always open to adding new shoes to my wardrobe. The pair I currently have my eye on? Gucci’s crystal slingbacks. Is your interest piqued? It should be.

I’m half Canadian, and I love nothing more than tapping into my roots by way of my outfits. I wear double denim on the regular, and cowboy is my boot of choice. The latter will come in particularly handy this season, as cowboy boots are set to be one of the biggest trends of autumn/winter 2022. Why? Not only were they prevalent on the runway—everyone from Celine to western-faithful Isabel Marant showcased them in their new collections—but celebrities and fashion people can’t stop wearing them either. Cowboy boots have long been a part of the cool-girl uniform, with editors and influencers choosing to wear them with everything from dresses to tailoring. Right now, however, I’m inspired by the slew of celebrities who have started wearing them ahead of autumn in the most stylish ways. Take Jo...
If I could trade wardrobes with anyone—and I really do mean anyone—it would be with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Before the minimalist aesthetic was as prevalent as it is now, Rosie was paving the way, favouring forever pieces in place of the short-lifespan trends that often prove all too tempting to other stars being courted by big, flashy brands. With a closet built upon the likes of Totême, Bottega Veneta, and The Row, I can scroll three years into her Instagram feed, and not a single thing will feel dated. Proof that she has an eye for a hardworking staple. That’s not to say, however, that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley only ever wears known designers; high-end ones at that. Through Rosie’s Instagram feed, I discovered brands I didn’t previously know of; Marcela London, for one, has become on...
Photo: Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images; Gotham/GC Images Without fail, summer always manages to bring a few unexpected trends into the fold, and the most intriguing one of the moment (in my opinion) is summer suiting. Hear me out on this. Sure, there are a ton of noteworthy bikini, shoe and dress trends that are defining the summer 2022 look, but none are as surprising and stylish as suiting. While suiting has become a staple part of runway collections and everyone’s wardrobes for the past few seasons, one thing that makes this “trend” intriguing is its common association with colder months. It’s not exactly the most tempting of thoughts to be trying to schlep through a hot summer day in a suit, yet the celeb and fashion set can’t seem to stop...
