35 Fancy Christmas Gifts We’d Be So Happy to Receive This Year (Hint, Hint)

November 26, 2021 at 06:00AM There are two types of Christmas gift shoppers; the kind who have everything bought and wrapped by the first week of November, or those who leave it until the last minute and spend Christmas Eve placing said presents into bags gift bags. Neither is right or wrong, but if there’s one thing we can all agree on it’s this—that in the frenzy of dreaming up gifts for others, it’s perfectly acceptable to play fantasy with the gifts you’d like to receive, too. And team Who What Wear have certainly been indulging in virtual window shopping of the highest luxury of late. Now, we know the true meaning of Christmas goes way beyond shopping; it’s about being thankful for what you have, showing compassion for others, and spending time with our nearest and dearest; the latter being perhaps the greatest gift we could…

Small But Mighty: 32 Pieces From the Coolest Independent Brands

November 26, 2021 at 06:00AM Whether you’re a shoe hoarder or a jacket fanatic, a dress lover or a bag obsessive, it’s safe to say that there is an independent brand to cater to your wardrobe needs.Thanks to word of mouth and the power of social media, theever-diversifying fashion industry is finally allowing niche labels to come to the fore. Big brands don’t have a monopoly over the landscape, as many customers want to invest in original design and lesser-known styles.  Sadly, many of these labels have been hit by the global pandemic, and as a publication, we’re doing our very best to support the talent we love in any way possible. That’s why we’ve dedicated our end-of-month shopping gallery to these independent brands. Honestly, we were spoilt for choice, and we wish we could include every brand we came across online (although, that would turn into a long article), but we managed to whittle it down…

Texture Talk: Preparing and Caring For a Curly Cut

November 25, 2021 at 07:33PM Many of us are delighted to be able to return to salons and unload our tresses (and stresses) onto our stylist’s chair. When it comes to cutting curly hair, it’s a unique experience that should be handled with care. It’s also best to avoid a DIY cut, which can “lead to an uneven disaster,” says Shai Amiel (a.k.a. “the curl doctor”), who has worked with stars like Tamera Mowry and Kehlani. Haircuts are a service that needs to be delivered by a professional hairstylist, adds Vernon François, global consultant for Redken and global inclusivity and education adviser for KĂ©rastase, whose client roster includes Serena Williams, Lupita Nyong’o and Willow Smith. Otherwise, “it could end up being costly if you have to restyle or if you accidentally create more split ends,” he says. Here, the two celebrity hairstylists break…

21 Cozy Sweaters to Cuddle Up in This Winter

November 25, 2021 at 06:10PM If you’re like me, you love to spend the colder months cuddled up in an oversized sweater with a hot beverage next to a roaring fire (in my case it’s virtual, but cozy nonetheless!). And thanks to memorable pop culture moments like Chris Evans’ perfect cable knit sweater in Knives Out to Katie Holmes’ Khaite cashmere bra + cardigan combo that almost broke the internet, we can all agree that a good knitwear moment is crucial to getting us through the long winter ahead. And as if we needed more convincing, Adam Driver and Lady Gaga’s cozy snow bunny looks from the set of House of Gucci (you know what I’m talking about) is just another sign that you can never have too many sweaters. From oversized turtlenecks to artful knitted cardigans and cheeky graphic crewnecks, click through the…

Are Women Not Allowed to Age?

November 25, 2021 at 06:00PM When I heard that HBO was doing a Sex and the City reboot, I, like many other fans who spent the late ’90s and early aughts clutching the show to their then much-younger bosoms (like so many oversized flower brooches), had one overriding emotion: despair. After two post-series movies — the first one OK and the second one a racist, boring disaster — I just wanted to be left in peace with my good memories of a franchise that, for all its faults, was groundbreaking in its time for its gritty depictions of sex, brunch and female friendships, its unapologetic love of fashion and its embrace of a character who was arguably TV’s first female anti-heroine. (Carrie was actually kind of a terrible, selfish hot mess, but, yes, I’m a Carrie.) But my gloom over any further sullying…

17 Self Care Must-Haves For Sagittarius Season

November 25, 2021 at 05:05PM Happy Sagittarius season! It’s time to embrace curious, kindred spirits and adventurous, adaptable energy. With natural tendencies of intensity, honesty, generosity and boundlessness, this fire sign emits a larger than-life-persona — they don’t want to know a world without abundance. And whether or not you have Sag placements in your astrological chart, you’ll definitely feel the pull of the effervescent archer during this time. So, let’s take a peek at what’s brewing under the sun Ă  la Sagittarius, and zero in on which self-care practices you can add into your routine to align with the forecast.

I’m Buying My Christmas Gifts from the Black Friday Sales—Here’s What I Like

November 25, 2021 at 02:41PM I don’t know about you, but I get a bit overwhelmed by the Black Friday madness. Usually, the first hint of an IRL sale and I run in the opposite direction to avoid the flurry of shoppers. When it comes to online sales, though, it’s a different experience. I’m not one of these people who impulse buys just because one of my favourite sites has a sale on – I think before I shop. So instead, I’ve been adding items to my online wish lists this month with Christmas presents in mind. And I believe this is the smart way to tackle the Black Friday sales and get ahead of gifting. But if I happen to see something that I need (read: want) along the way, who am I to argue with fate? I must admit, the 40% Charlotte Tilbury sale has made…

I’ve Been Recommending This Viral TikTok Product To Everyone I Know

November 25, 2021 at 10:40AM As a beauty journalist and all-round beauty lover, I would definitely say that I’m spoilt for choice when it comes to the brands I have access to over here in the UK. Whether it’s nipping into Boots for the latest makeup offers or shopping online for a top-up of my favourite skincare products, there’s always so much to choose from. However, sometimes I just wish that all beauty products were as easy to get my hands on.I’m always happy to make an overseas beauty purchase and some of my favourite beauty sites to shop on include ColourPop Cosmetics and Makeup by Mario who both ship worldwide. Something I’ve noticed over the past 12 months however is a lot of my favourite US-based beauty brands cropping up in the UK and the recent UK launch of Youthforia, genuinely made me squeal with excitement.Enter, Youthforia’s TikTok viral…
