Why Are We Obsessed With 2016?
From Snapchat's dog ears to discovering Eleven could be more than a number, and one iconic Celebrity Big Brother series, 2016 was a glorious year. Fast forward to now and we're jumping in our time machines (aka scrolling down to the beginning of our social media profiles) to remind ourselves of just how good we had it back then - and relive it. Thanks to a huge new trend across social media, fashion and pop culture 2026 has been declared the new 2016. TikTok has found that searches for "2016" went up a whopping 452 percent last week and millions of videos have been made using the app's 2016 rose-tinted filter. Yes, I too felt geriatric when I learnt that 2016, which feels like four years ago, has a filter to give it that retro feel. But people in their millions (literally) are TikTok-ing...
Butterfly Clips, Cola Lip Balm & Devil Horns: Claire’s Demise Marks the End of an Era
The black director's chair became free and my tummy started doing somersaults. My turn had arrived. Standing next to my best friend, mum encouraged me to step forward so I could choose a little pair of diamonte studs. The day had come after months of begging: I was about to get my ears pierced and 10-year-old me couldn't have been prouder to be experiencing this milestone in Claire's Accessories. The US retailer was a beacon of my childhood and that's why it made me sad to hear it will file for administration, putting 281 stores and over 2000 jobs at risk in the UK. While there's no denying the retail landscape has struggled in recent years and the cost of living crisis continues to wreak havoc with our disposable income, it still pains me to think of a high street without Claire's Access...
Apparently, It’s 2007 Again – Bandage Dresses Are Back
It's 2007, I'm listening to a new song called Umbrella by Rihanna on repeat, my hair is straightened to within an inch of its life and I've done a full face of makeup apart from my eyebrows (because they weren't even considered back then). Now, what to wear? As an 18 year-old most likely getting ready for a big night out in Norwich – where I'm from – this calls for one thing, and one thing only: a bodycon dress as tight as I could squish myself into. In the era of the LBD, nothing quite compared to a little short dress for a night out with the girls, and I embraced absolutely any opportunity to have my dad tell me "you are not going out of the house like that". And of course, as a defiant teenager, I refused to change my outfit and continued to go about my night tugging at my dress to co...
