November 28, 2021 at 11:24AM Emily Ratajkowski and the Duchess of Cambridge’s style choices usually couldn’t be more different, however this week they both approached winter dressing in a very similar way. They both were seen this wearing bright pink tailored jackets—it’s not a colour typically associated with winter dressing, but is a really uplifting choice. Both kept the focus on the jacket, pairing it with simple basics.Emily opted for black tights, a pair of knee-high boots and a black rollneck, while the Duchess wore a matching raspberry rollneck and a pair of high-waisted black trousers. Keep scrolling to see their looks and shop pink tailoring, if you’re keen to replicate this winter styling idea.Next up, see our guide to the key trends for autumn winter 2021.

November 28, 2021 at 11:11AM Black Friday can be an assault on your email inbox, with every brand you’ve ever purchased from sending alert after alert about offers and promotions. It’s enough to make you want a full-blown digital detox. So, we’re arming you with essential tips to help you find the best clothing and fashion deals and avoid falling into any tempting clothing sale traps. When it comes to shopping for clothes, shoes and accessories during Black Friday, you want to find classic pieces that have been slightly out of reach previously, or hard-working basics that are missing from your wardrobe (such as a new winter coat or ankle boots). I’d advise you only buy something that was already on your shopping list before it was on sale, check sizes carefully and don’t be tempted to buy something just because it’s in the sale. It’s…

November 28, 2021 at 08:00AM “Benjamin Buttoning.” Ageing backwards. Stopping time. If there’s one effect or buzzword that elicits the same visceral reaction from beauty editors, skincare experts, and customers alike, it’s anything with the term anti-ageing in it. The truth of the matter is this: There’s no miracle cream, gel, serum or treatment that has the power to actually reverse or halt the signs of ageing on the skin. (Sorry, it just doesn’t exist.) That said, there are a small number of products that come pretty close, and we’re about to share an edit of them below.Per a roster of celebrity makeup artists—Emily Cheng, Naoko Scintu and Emma White Turle—we’re uncovering a curated selection of the best anti-ageing moisturisers. The keyword here being curated because according to them, not every cream or moisturiser on the market works the same. Luckily, they find that the below six do wield high-performing effects…

November 28, 2021 at 08:00AM Six years ago, my family experienced a huge scare when my then 65-year-old mom was rushed to the ER in order to receive an emergency cardioversion—aka a medical paddle used to restart her heart. The day before the trip to the emergency room, we’d been travelling, and my mom (who has since discovered she has an extreme sensitivity to sugar) had a pumpkin spice latte and an almond-filled French pastry for breakfast and then later on after dinner a small vanilla ice cream cone. As she explains, it was enough sugar (at least for her) to send her heart into atrial fibrillation, or an uneven heart rhythm.“As scary as the experience was, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise,” she tells me. “I banished heavy sugar doses from my diet and noticed that my skin started…

November 28, 2021 at 08:00AM We all want to keep the chicness levels of our outfits high, even when the temperatures are low, but the journey to fashion nirvana in the winter months is anything but easy. No one wants to look like the Michelin Man, even if they are in a white puffer coat. This, however, is why we’ve sought a little guidance from some women who know what they’re talking about when it comes to cold-weather styling.They might reside slightly closer to the equator than we do, but the French also experience severe cold snaps in the winter months. At least, those in the northern regions do. So what do French-girl winter outfits look like?We’ve scouted 10 stylish looks from nine of our favourite French influencers, each of which we’d happily re-create for ourselves this winter. Scroll on to see a selection of the French girl winter…

November 28, 2021 at 08:00AM Being a beauty journalist is wonderful for so many reasons. First of all, we get to write about beauty products all day long. Then there’s the fact we get first dibs on all of the new products before they even hit the shelves. And need I even mention all of the advice we get day in, day out from the best experts in the industry?And while we beauty editors hate to complain about anything to do with our jobs, there is sadly one major downside. You see, testing out products all day long isn’t exactly what one might call a solid routine—and skin really likes routine. Constantly chopping and changing products does not a good skincare routine make, and our skin knows it.In fact, my skin gets pretty stressed. More often than not, I’m dealing with breakouts, dryness, redness and/or irritation. And stressed skin makes me…

November 28, 2021 at 08:00AM There are some shoe trends that become popular, peak, then go away for a decade or longer. Others only fade away for a few seasons before making a big comeback. Since the start of the year, we’ve been predicting another cowboy-boot craze, and it looks like that craze is finally upon us. We think this one could even be big enough to eclipse the previous cowboy-boot craze of 2018. For starters, the A/W 21 runways of heavy hitters like Isabel Marant were overrun with cowboy boots. Retailers’ new arrivals also include tons of cowboy boots at various price points. And very influential celebs like Kendall Jenner are already wearing them amidst the dog days of summer.Jenner was recently photographed out in Malibu wearing loose, cream-coloured jeans, a cropped tank top and two-tone, vintage Western boots. We love the idea of wearing cowboy boots under loose jeans—a change from previous seasons when they…

November 28, 2021 at 08:00AM I love a good suit. An alternative to the traditional cocktail dress, I love opting for tailored pieces for weddings and other formal events. However, come summertime, I’m a pretty big advocate for going trouser-less. This is why I’m such a fan of the trend that celebs like Dua Lipa and Jennifer Lopez just can’t stop wearing on the red carpet: the tuxedo dress.The perfect marriage of a suit and minidress, tuxedo dresses are essentially just elongated tuxedo jackets or blazers and are sometimes cinched at the waist. They’re a sure-fire way to look polished for any occasion. What I love most about them is their versatility. They look great paired with towering sandals or pumps, but they can just as easily be paired with any of 2021’s sneaker trends for a casual yet elevated look. Another styling tip? Many tuxedo…

November 28, 2021 at 08:00AM It’s no secret that the way we’ve shopped for beauty has changed in recent years. Cast your mind back to a pre-pandemic world and buying new beauty products online was reserved exclusively for solid repurchases or desperate emergencies. Fast forward to now, however, and you’d be hard pressed to get anyone out of the house for the sole purpose of buying a new moisturiser.As with just about every other area of our lives, we want shopping for beauty products to be a quick, seamless, and stress-free affair. Our days of trawling around shopping centres trying to locate all our beauty favourites are behind us. We want everything in one place with easily accessible information and reviews—and we want it delivered straight to our doors.The good news is, it seems that the Great British high street has cottoned onto the fact that enjoyable beauty…

November 28, 2021 at 08:00AM Out of all the fashion staples in our wardrobe, the coat is probably the item that worked the hardest last year, and something tells us the same will be said for winter 2021. As we enter November, while we are no longer in lockdown, the humble coat will inevitably remain an essential part of our style arsenal, whether we're jumping at the opportunity to go “out out,” chilling at home or trekking into the office for the first time. Luckily, the new season is set to usher in a host of outwear trends that combine both form and function.The elevated puffer is, of course, sticking around and is surely one of the warmest things you can throw on for a chilly November morning, but this year, it comes with more streamlined quilting, which is perfect for layering. There’s also plenty of colour via the saturated shades that hit the runways at Prada and Bottega Veneta. From…
