I Tried On Every Expensive-Looking High-Street Piece—These 11 Stood Out

December 02, 2021 at 06:10AM After 18 months of only shopping online, I’ve come to the conclusion that a couple of hours browsing in your favourite shops, where you get to see and feel the material of a dress or jacket before making that all-important purchase, pays off. In fact, you’re more likely to pick up those extra-special affordable pieces, as they’re much easier to spot in the flesh. That said, shopping IRL can feel like an assault course at this time of year when the number of people largely increases as we shop for Christmas presents and endless deals and discounts entice customers into the stores.What makes it quicker and easier is knowing what to look out for. The British high street is one of the best in the world, but even I still get blown away by just how designer-esque and premium certain pieces can be.So not only have I…

11 Easy Outfits Everyone Will Want to Wear This December

December 02, 2021 at 06:04AM It can be difficult to know what to wear in December when cold weather is undeniable and your schedule is packed. With freezing days to navigate, get-togethers to go to, big meals to eat (stretchy trousers are really the dream ticket), glitzy parties to attend (even if your numbers are small), workdays to still power through (wherever you may be carrying them out) and some cosy lounging moments to enjoy, multiple trendy winter outfits are required—this we know.

Celebs Are Retiring Their Beanie Hats in Favour of This Winter Accessory

December 02, 2021 at 06:02AM It takes a lot for us to raise an eyebrow, particularly at a celebrity outfit. Spotlighting trends is what we do best, and after years of perfecting our craft, we seldom find ourselves surprised at what people wear. But that’s precisely what happened when we spotted not one but two major fashion muses sporting a somewhat controversial ’90s accessory this winter. Of course, given the recent cold snap, we’re all looking for ways to toastify our outfits, and both Bella Hadid and Emily Ratajkowksi happened upon the same item. Feeling the chill over in NYC, in the space of one week, both Hadid and Ratajkowski stepped out in the very same oversized furry bucket hat. Admittedly, it took a minute for us to wrap our heads around this look, but once we did, we fell head over heels for the gloriously nostalgic turn their…

M&S Does the Very Best Jumpers, and These 14 Prove It

December 02, 2021 at 06:00AM It might be absolutely freezing, but the up side to plummeting temperatures is we get to wrap ourselves up in fabulous knitwear until the weather changes. Brits have long relied on M&S for its excellent knitwear selection, and this year it is better than ever, with plenty of beautiful jumpers and cardigans to choose from. M&S is known in particular for its cashmere crew-necks and rollnecks, and this year they’ve added some amazing colours to its classic arsenal, including bright tangerine, ombre styles and a vibrant pink.When it comes to classic knitwear styles, you really can’t beat a chunky cable-knit jumper at this time of year. We love the simple ivory version, but also how M&S has added some subtle styling tweaks, such as the use of buttons and fringe detailing. Speaking of details, we have to mention the beautiful lilac…

This Blusher Has Gone Viral This Year, and It’s Worth the Hype

December 02, 2021 at 06:00AM What happens on TikTok definitely doesn’t stay on TikTok, and thank goodness for thatbecause some of my all-time favourite purchases have come from my aimless scrolling. That’s exactly how I found out about Dior's universal Backstage Rosy Glow Blush (ÂŁ27).A few months back, there were claims that Kylie Jenner and her makeup artist, Ariel Tejada, were big fans of the Dior blush, and the news quite literally almost broke the internet. Okay, maybe it was just the Dior website. I remember trying to convince myself for weeks that I didn’t need to add another blush to my ever-growing collection, and then in just a matter of days, I found myself frantically on the hunt for one that wasn’t sold out. After what felt like weeks of searching, I was happy to finally get my hands on my own blush to see what all the fuss was about.The blush claims to create…

Lil Nas X Is the Future of Fashion in a Head-to-Toe Chrome Outfit Ready For the Year 3000

December 01, 2021 at 10:50PM We’d officially like to thank Lil Nas X for identifying a massive chrome hole in our wardrobes. Like a character straight out of his fantasy-packed music video, the “Montero” singer hit the stage at iHeartRadio’s 2021 Jingle Ball on Nov. 30 in a head-to-toe silver outfit custom designed by Adolfo Sanchez. The look, made up of a metallic kilt and cropped puffer jacket, was an artistic assembly of chrome panels, leather straps, and buckles that was basically made to to compliment the next dystopian movie protagonist. “This was so much fun to create and bring to life. @lilnasx is so playful with fashion I had a great time creating all these looks,” Adolfo captioned an Instagram post on Dec. 1. “Thank you to my amazing team for all the endless hours and late nights that went into making…

The Gucci Heirs Do Not Approve of House of Gucci

December 01, 2021 at 08:17PM The Gucci family has watched House of Gucci, and the verdict is not good. Ridley Scott’s highly anticipated biographical crime drama was met with a lukewarm reception when it hit theatres last week. And its most notable review came from the family of former Gucci chairman and patriarch Aldo Gucci. On November 29, the family released a statement claiming House of Gucci “is extremely painful from a human point of view and an insult to the legacy on which the brand is built today.” The statement, which was first published by Italian news agency ANSA and obtained by Variety, laments that the film did not “did not bother to consult the heirs.” It went on to say House of Gucci inaccurately portrayed family members including Aldo Gucci (played by Al Pacino) “as thugs who were ignorant and insensitive to…
