November 18, 2021 at 08:00AM From bobs and lobs to braids and full fringes, there are so many amazing hairstyles out there that it can be hard to know where to start if you’re looking for a little pre-salon inspiration. So here’s my suggestion: the A-list. With access to top hairstylists and trending hair products, celebs are constantly stepping out in hairstyles that give me major strand envy. But by switching up their hair as often as we change our t-shirts, choosing a favourite style can lead to an inevitable fall down an Instagram rabbit hole.To make things easier for you, I’ve rounded up some of my favourite celebrity hairstyles ever—37 to be precise—to make your next trip to the hairdresser a little easier.Keep scrolling for the best celebrity hairstyles.Alexa's classic lob hairstyle is a trademark in its own right, and I’d hazard a guess that…

November 18, 2021 at 08:00AM I think it is often underestimated just how difficult shopping for perfume is. For starters, the stuff is expensive. While parting with a few quid on a foundation that isn’t quite right doesn’t feel like a huge financial loss (with a bit of mixing, you can usually find a way to make it work), dropping three figures on a perfume that isn’t all you hoped is more difficult to swallow.We’ve all been there. You spritz something on counter and fall in love at first sniff or smell something divine on someone and add it straight to your basket, only to get the goods home, douse yourself in the stuff and realise it gives you a nauseating headache.And to make perfume shopping even harder, we’re now faced with what feels like hundreds of snaps of painfully pretty bottles every time we log…

November 18, 2021 at 08:00AM Last winter saw a surge in sales of puffer coats, and we won’t be surprised if we see the same again this year. True, we’re not (currently) in any kind of lockdown, but British winters are pretty consistently cold. Not to mention that one of the biggest coat trends of autumn/winter 2021 is the puffer. I have been on my own hunt to find the perfect puffer coat over the past week, and after hours of trawling, I settled on Arket's maxi down coat, a style that comes with a history of being extra popular, even before the temperatures started to dip this October. Back in February 2020, the shopping search engine Lyst revealed that amongst the biggest-selling trophy pieces of the season (many of which were expensive and designer), Arket’s perfect puffer made it onto the top 10. With its simple cut,…

November 18, 2021 at 08:00AM The saying “you get what you pay for” applies to so many things in fashion, but one thing we struggle to justify it for is lingerie. Never has so little fabric amounted to so many pound signs as it does when you peruse luxury lingerie. And seeing as it’s something we wear, quite literally, every single day, it’s not something we’re prepared to spend our entire salary on, which is why we’ve scoured the digital shopping sphere to bring you the best affordable lingerie brands we can find.Emmanuelle Koffi wears a white lace lingerie set from Gooseberry Intimates. While they’ll save you some pennies in the process, if there’s one thing these affordable lingerie brands don’t skimp on, it’s style. From comfortable jersey triangle bralettes and big briefs to lace-trimmed teddies and even sultry see-through shorts, from an array…

November 18, 2021 at 08:00AM Up until about six years ago, aside from holiday sandals, I never used to wear flat shoes. Instead, I’d teeter around in heels, whatever the occasion—be it a night out or a trip to the supermarket. I guess I had subscribed to the idea that working in the fashion industry meant practical things such as flat shoes weren’t part of the uniform. In my defence, flat shoes weren’t given the same treatment that they are today.Then the tide turned. From Céline’s (when the brand still boasted its accent) Glove shoes to Gucci’s once-again-iconic Jordaan loafers, the humble flat was given the haute treatment by a host of brands. Now, you’ll find plentiful flat shoes that look just as pretty as heels, if not more so.It’s official—flat shoes are cool, and I wear them around the clock. Not only are they…

November 18, 2021 at 06:50AM When I say the words River Island, you might think of all things glam. However, recently, the brand has been shifting its aesthetic towards a more pared-back look. It is now establishing itself as a go-to for everyday staples with a fashion edge, and it is the selection of jackets and coats that I’ve been most impressed by. The River Island Studio line is one of our favourite places on the high street for elevated but interesting designs with more directional silhouettes.We love the whole edit, but the jackets and coats, in particular, really stood out to our team. Shopping editor Joy and I had to try them on in real life. There’s the most amazing checked borg coat, a green quilted boxy jacket that is yo-yoing in and out of stock and an oversized blazer that looks so expensive. Keep scrolling to see…

November 18, 2021 at 06:30AM When it comes to hair products, I am more than a little fussy. My hair is thin and fine (as well as being very, very long), which makes it difficult to disguise any mishaps. In short, if my hair is greasy or weighed down with too much product, you’ll know about it. The perfect hair product, if you ask me, is one that gives my hair a little bit of body without weighing it down.Sounds simple, right? Only it’s not. You see, the term weightless is thrown around a lot when talking about hair products but rarely does it actually refer to its true meaning. Having thin hair means strands are particularly susceptible to “weight” in hair products. Whether it’s a super-nourishing mask that leaves strands heavy and flat at the root or a styling spray that causes hair to clump,…

November 18, 2021 at 06:30AM After two very trying years for the wedding industry, it looks as though (all fingers crossed) things are looking up for 2022. In fact, our wedding schedules are looking busier than ever with invites flooding in thick and fast. You see, not only are we busy planning for the year’s normal number of weddings, but we’re also dealing with rescheduled dates from cancelled arrangements off the back of lockdowns and restrictions. And although full of love and joy, weddings can be stressful—especially when you’ve got one to attend every other weekend. To help take the stress out of at least one situation, we thought we’d help you get ahead on your beauty plans. After all, weddings are the one opportunity to look your glowiest self.However, we also appreciate that there are certain makeup “rules” to follow as a wedding guest to ensure…

November 18, 2021 at 06:14AM When I find an item of clothing or a pair of shoes I like, I buy it in every colour it comes in. If you were to peek inside my wardrobe, it would look as if it belonged to twins who like to dress in matching ensembles, albeit in different shades. Off the top of my head, I can tell you I have three Ghost Jenna dresses (the blue, black, and pink) and the white and grey versions of Arket’s perfect-fit T-shirt. I’ve also got the same edit of Topshop Editor jeans in two colours. But the item I’ve bought four times is a simple but incredibly versatile piece from one of my favourite high-street stores: & Other Stories.Jessica wears an & Other Stories Mock Neck Jumper in Sage. & Other Stories has always had one of the strongest knitwear sections on…

November 18, 2021 at 06:06AM When it comes to ‘80s fashion, we have a (surprising) amount to be thankful for. While the decade previously hadn’t influenced our wardrobes for a long time, in recent years, we’ve come to the realisation that all the most current trends today are courtesy of the '80s. Now, if you’re not too familiar with the nuances of this era, there are a few standout looks we’re sure you’ll recognise: big shoulders, white jeans, underwear as outerwear and oversize jewellery. It was the decade of the power dresser but also of punks. It gave us Madonna, Sade, Tina Turner and Cher, plus numerous other superstars whose sense of style influences many right now.Don’t believe us? From the fact that Princess Diana’s archive is inspiring some of the world’s most influential designers to the more basic resurgence in women wearing blazers with…
