Hands up if you find Black Friday (and general sales) shopping pretty stressful. With you, I stand in solidarity. Even though it’s basically my job to shop for a living, unearthing pieces you like in your size that are still in stock in the middle of a markdown can be difficult. In the past, I’d find it hard to discern whether I really want something or if I’m just buying it because it’s on sale. This, however, is no longer an issue for me. I’m the sort of person who makes use of the wish-listing function offered on many digital fashion destinations, where you can “heart” pieces as you scroll, and poof! They assemble in a little tab just for you. The moment a sale hits, this is where I head to, to see if items I’ve genuinely loved in the...
Season two of the Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That…, has begun filming, which means one thing: new fashion looks! Season one was full to the brim of the fashion-forward and unexpected combinations that we’ve come to expect from Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda. Carrie’s new BFF Lisa Todd Wexley may be a new character, but the looks created for her have already given us a sense of her truly spectacular style. Our first sneak peek of season two has already got the fashion set talking thanks to costume designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago’s of-the-moment styling. Last season, Rogers and Santiago kept Carrie’s styling fresh yet true to the original series, combining modern looks with throwback styles that ha...
Over the last few days, here in the UK we’ve got to experience my favourite kind of weather: crisp and fresh but with gorgeous bright sunshine. But with this type of weather comes the fashion-girl’s ultimate wardrobe dilemma: what do I wear when it’s cold but sunny? Thankfully, as a Fashion Editor and Stylist, as well as a cold weather enthusiast, I consider myself fully adept at solving this sartorial problem. The truth is, when you don’t know what to wear, you can always rely on a really great top and jeans. Low-key yet impressive and comfy but still stylish, a top and trouser look will always score your maximum style points without needing too much effort. And what’s not to love about that? You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are loo...

Chances are your social calendar is filling up with long-overdue catch-ups with friends, which are, most likely, going to be held at the pub. But what does one wear for a night spent in the local? Just because you don’t require a ball gown and elbow-length gloves doesn’t mean you can’t make an effort for your next pub visit. If you want to wear your most fabulous dress, go for it!

Just when you think a trend may be gone for good, a buzzy designer or It girl will breathe new life into it. This statement stands strong as ever, as the current list of what’s cool in fashion pulls from the ’60s and the mid-2000s, and there’s no solid prediction of what could come next. Fashion is cyclical, and it’s only natural that things will come back in style. Even when I report on certain pieces being “out,” I always remind the reader that it’s up to them to decide what’s worth keeping or tossing. And while I’ve grown familiar with the pattern of trends coming and going, a few items that came down the 2023 runways still took me by surprise. In light of discussing 2023 fashion, I scoured the collectio...
Listen up, everyone. I’ve found the perfect bag. Not only is it ideal for daily life—it fits your wallet, a mask, hand sanitiser and even a bit of makeup—but it’s also great for evenings out. Don’t believe me? Well, the good news is I’ve collected the evidence to prove how versatile and chic this bag actually is. But first, let me give you the details. It’s a leather crescent-shaped handbag with a thick strap. It’s smooth and pretty featureless, other than a couple of silver belt studs and a well-hidden zip. There’s no denying that it bears more than a resemblance to The Row’s Banana Bag, but it actually comes from COS at a much more affordable price point. It’s unsurprising, then, that I’ve spotted so many minimalist...

Coat season is well and truly here, and I, for one, am delighted. I’ve always been a bit of a coat obsessive thanks to the myriad styles available out there. From plaid to shearling and belted styles to trench coats, there’s definitely something for everyone. When it comes to my ever-growing coat collection, my argument is always this: Coats are one of the first things you notice about someone, so why not make a statement? Plus, the cost per wear with our long winters ensures that choosing a coat you love is always a good investment. All in all, they are always a key piece in my autumn/winter capsule wardrobe, and this season is no different. There are a few things I consider before purchasing a new coat. Whether ...
In a world that feels increasingly chaotic, it feels important to cling to order wherever we can find it. It might seem like a small thing, but organising your wardrobe is a simple place to start. Think about it: we get dressed every day, so if our clothes are messily crammed into random drawers or hanging haphazardly off cheap hangers, we’re going to experience the same self-inflicted annoyance on a daily basis. A tidy wardrobe is a tidy mind. There are other perks, too. “Knowing how to properly store and care for your clothes not only helps you create a calm wardrobe but also extends the life of your clothing so that you can enjoy them for longer,” Maria Bettis, organisation expert and founder of Slow Style Mindset tells me. “I remind my...
