I’ve Done the Research, and These Liquid Lipsticks Actually Last All Night

November 23, 2021 at 06:00AM I have a confession. I’ve written a lot of day-to-night makeup articles in my time. You’ll see them crop up around this time of year when Christmas parties and New Year’s Eve are on everybody’s mind. While I do sometimes need a soft-to-sultry eye shadow or a vibe-changing blush to liven up my face, in real life, I tend to just recommend adding a showstopping lip. It instantly brings a new dimension to your daytime look and is the easiest thing to have in your bag without the need for extra tools. Let’s be honest—as great as a blended-out smoky shadow is, fitting my palette and two to three brushes in my bag is less appealing than one simple lip product.A lip stain or liquid lipstick are my absolute go-tos, and as I have lips that are sensitive to anything too…

Editors, Celebs and Influencers All Agree: This Is the Coat Brand to Be Seen In

November 23, 2021 at 06:00AM Founded by Elin Kling and Karl Lindman in 2014, TotĂŞme was built around the concept of a modern uniform. Over the last seven years, the brand has won over the fashion crowd with its uniquely Scandi twist on wardrobe staples, from immaculate tailoring to classic knits. TotĂŞme’s coat offering, however, has proven to be a particular success in recent years, with celebs (hello, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley), influencers and editors alike investing in its luxurious signature wrap designs.Rosie HW was particularly a fan of the brand’s quilted wrap coat back in winter 2020, and thankfully, the style has returned for another season, as have the classic camel-coloured iterations. There are also a few new outwear pieces to fall in love with, such as the leather-trim shearling jacket as seen on Lucy Williams and the toggle-fasten cashmere coat. But the beauty of the brand is that all of its designs are sure to stand the test of time and…

22 Very Old Trends I’m Still Wearing Today

November 23, 2021 at 05:02AM I’m a huge fan of ‘70s fashion—the era created a host of trends that still stand up today, whether you realise they’re from that time or not. Think of our current obsession with bright over-the-knee boots, folk-inspired printed dresses, velvet and corduroy, boho blouses, midi skirts and so on. While the '70s sweep over the runways every couple of seasons, there’s always a hint of it on the streets if you look closely.Think of the iconic designer names that were indelibly marked into history during this decade, like Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld and Diane von Furstenberg. Also, during this period, mass-market, trend-driven fashion was more readily available. Barbara Hulanicki’s Biba kick-started the idea in London a decade earlier, alongside boutiques such as Bus Stop, and cool, connected girls were able to switch up their looks more readily, which likely led…

Ever Since I Got This Old Navy Jacket, I Never Leave My House Without It

November 22, 2021 at 11:25PM You may not know this about me, but I take my outerwear very, very seriously. Outerwear is often on the more expensive side, so trust me when I say that no coat or jacket lands a permanent place in my closet unless it’s 100 percent worthy. Recently, while I was on an online hunt for a new perfect piece to add to my jacket collection, I stumbled across Old Navy’s Packable Half-Zip Water-Resistant Quilted Jacket ($29, originally $60). I honestly hadn’t shopped at Old Navy in a while, but just browsing the site showed me it had tons of cute stuff - everything from loungewear to festive pajamas. I ended up stocking up on a few fall and winter items to get me through the colder weather headed my way, but the quilted jacket is my current favorite.…
