August 11, 2021 at 08:00AM The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in rainy Wolverhampton today for a series of engagements and proved, yet again, that denim is not the only way to pull together an easy, chic outfit. Wearing a look that was very reminiscent of a navy ensemble she chose on a royal tour last year (more on those looks below) she assembled a fitted coat over a polka-dot, contrast-collar blouse and with a trouser style that is fast becoming her signature: tailored flares.On Kate Middleton: Tory Burch Silk Satin Polka Dot Blouse; Jigsaw trousers. In a couple of styling moves that are now recognisably very HRH, Kate chose to go tonal (a move that makes any outfit simpler), to add in some classic pearl earrings and to ensure that her wide-leg trousers were (probably) tailored just so, in order to sit neatly above her…

August 11, 2021 at 06:30AM There’s high chance you’re already somewhat familiar with Gisou. The pretty bottles are basically beauty royalty over on Instagram, with all of the cool girls using them as props for stylish set-ups. Despite the fact the brand only launched in the UK a few weeks ago, I’d go as far to say it has been one of Instagram’s most popular beauty brands over the past couple of years. And I’m a little embarrassed to admit that it is because of this that I’ve been holding onto some resentment towards it.You see, while I had become all too familiar with the way that those cult Gisou products looked, I had never, in all of the many hours I spent scrolling Instagram a day, seen a review on them. I had no idea what the claims were or whether they were even…

August 11, 2021 at 06:06AM If there’s one brand I can always rely on to produce stylish and quality staples, it’s Arket. When others get swept up in fleeting trends, Arket takes time to perfect pieces that will live in my wardrobe long after a season has passed. But this acute attention to the basics doesn’t make Arket a boring brand—not by a long shot.Throughout its collections, you’ll find treasures that execute the biggest trends of the moment in a way that makes them feel like sound, everlasting investments. It's the potent blend of essentials and design flair that makes shopping at Arket so worthwhile. At the start of each season, I find it hard to resist treating myself to a few new pieces from its latest collection.I need not remind you that autumn is coming. (The latest bout of unpredictable weather is enough of a signifier.) This seasonal shift, however, is something…

August 11, 2021 at 06:00AM Monikh wears a Sleeper dressThere are hundreds of thousands of influencers in the social ether, but there are only a handful who we religiously stalk in order to virtually steal the clothes off their backs.

The heatwaves have been followed by weeks of rain, creating that muggy feeling in the air which goes…

August 11, 2021 at 06:00AM Logos are a contentious issue when it comes to the fashion world. Back in 2018, Hedi Slimane took over as creative director at Celine. One of the first changes he made was to take off the acute accent off the first ‘e’. Die-hard fans were less than impressed all because of one tiny detail—to them the logo with the accent was everything. Over at Burberry, Riccardo Tisci was met with a similar situation when he changed the Burberry logo from one that was serif to sans serif. He also introduced a new monogram style. While the uproar wasn’t as loud, there were mixed reviews on what the creative director had done at the heritage brand. Evidently, logos mean a lot to us and in 2021, they’re back. However, this year, the logo fashion trend is more refined than previous years.…

August 11, 2021 at 06:00AM It’s no secret that the skin’s ageing process differs from person to person. While some people might start forming wrinkles in their late twenties, others might remain youthful and wrinkle-free until they hit 50. Skin ageing is a fact of life, and while genetics and lifestyle choices might delay the effects, at some point, it will catch up with you. And for most of us, this happens at some point in our forties. “Unless you’ve struggled with a specific skin condition like acne or psoriasis, during your twenties and thirties, you skin is likely to have been ticking along nicely, living off its own elasticity and hydration,” explains skincare specialist Jane Scrivner.So what exactly happens when we hit our forties? “It’s time to start replacing what your skin is losing during the ageing process. Your forties are the time to put…

August 11, 2021 at 06:00AM I’m calling it: Summer 2021 is all about hair. Sure, glowy skin and colourful makeup will have their moment in the spotlight, but now that hair salons are back open and we’ve been reunited with our hairdressers, the chance to experiment with a new hairstyle is just too alluring to resist. And trust me when I say that there are already so many trending hairstyles out there with major strand appeal.From low-maintenance layers to ‘90s-inspired highlights, this summer’s buzziest hair looks truly cater to all styles and comfort zones. Want to keep things classic with a chin-length bob? Turns out basically all of the fashion set is going for the chop right now. Looking for something a little more head-turning? You’re in luck—mullets are the most-searched hairstyle of the past year, and even celebs are embracing this throwback style.So if you’re ready to embrace a seasonal switch-up, then you’re…
