Weddings Will Triumph in 2022—These Are the 6 Makeup “Rules” to Know

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.

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.

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…

This ÂŁ35 & Other Stories Knit Keeps Selling Out

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…

36 Iconic 1980s Fashion Moments We Never Want to Forget

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…

4 Dream Party Outfits I Would Love to Wear This Season

November 18, 2021 at 06:00AM I don’t know about you, but I am so psyched about party season this year. Perhaps it’s due to the lack of dressing-up opportunities over the last 18 months, or the fact that it’s my 30th at the end of the month, but either way I’m ready to channel my inner Cher and I don’t care who knows it. My first port of call? Harvey Nichols, obviously. All my favourite designer party brands are there: Think 16ARLINGTON, The Sleeper and Jimmy Choo. It really is a fashion magpie’s dream.So what do I have my eye on this season? I’m not a massive dress-lover, so I’m definitely eyeing The Sleeper’s iconic feathered PJS, which will look suitably fabulous with bejewelled heels. 16ARLINGTON’s statement white shirt is also a highlight, and simply needs a pair of colour-match trousers to truly shine.…

The 4 Midi-Skirt-and-Jumper Pairings I’m Experimenting With This Winter

November 18, 2021 at 06:00AM A midi skirt might not be the first thing you reach for when it come to building a winter outfit, but Instagram's best-dressed have been making a pretty good case for the calf-skimming hemline over the last few weeks. While each person offers their own spin on the wardrobe staple, the uniting theme seems to be stylish jumpers, be it chunky roll necks, ribbed fabrics or pops of painbox brights. The midi-skirt-and-jumper look has become a particular favourite of fashion minimalists, such as Alexis Foreman and Brittany Bathgate, who tend to stick to versatile colourways of navy, cream and black. Oh so chic.Another uniting theme is contrasting textures, and the simplest of pairings can become instantly elevated when you experiment with fabrics. I’m thinking Alexis’s leather-skirt-and-wool-jumper get-up and Monikh’s tulle-skirt-and-chunky-crew-neck pairing, both of which pack their own personality, but feel undeniably pulled-together. So, if you’re not sure how to wear your favourite midi skirt as…
