November 12, 2021 at 08:00AM When it comes to this time of the year, it’s totally normal for skin to seem seriously dull. In fact, beyond looking a little lacklustre, it could possibly be feeling tight, dry and sore. If there’s one thing that the beauty world is certain of, it’s that cold weather is rarely good news for your complexion. And don’t I know it. Despite the fact the summer months had my skin radiating an out-of-this-world glow, the start of winter had me sporting a drab, lacklustre and seriously distressed face.At the start of the season, as I emptied out the contents of my makeup bag in the search for any kind of illuminating product to pour over my face/bathe in, I couldn’t help but wonder if my skin would ever get its glow back. Sure, I could slather my cheekbones…

Her blog, The Glow Girl, aims to empower women to embrace the best version of themselves, age gracefully, and cultivate a glow from the inside out. She also happens to be a 54-year-old with a passion for clean beauty. Below, hear from Meyers on her favourite natural skincare, makeup, and hair formulas. Plus, how she uses them in her daily routine.I find that as I approach my mid-50s, my skin and body are getting more and more sensitive to what I put on them. Over the past year, I’ve been making an effort to incorporate and use clean, safe beauty products in my life in order to reduce my exposure to toxic chemicals. In doing so, my allergies have improved, I feel…

November 12, 2021 at 08:00AM Until December 2019, according to Google Trends, there were next to no searches in the UK for the shoe brand Nodaleto. But then, an explosion: In January of 2020, Bella Hadid stepped out wearing a pair of knee-high, platform-soled boots from the French label, and suddenly the world tuned in and started investigating. The truth is fashion people had already clocked the emergence of this brand and its signature curved platforms. It was the first time in a long time that single-sole, dainty heels were being questioned as the most on-trend option, and you could say that this niche collection of Mary Janes and boots has paved the way for a full-blown stacked-shoe revival. Not only was the aesthetic entirely in check, but the agenda-setting “souliers” brand was created by Julia Toledano, the daughter of Sidney Toledano, the CEO of LVMH, so there…

November 12, 2021 at 08:00AM Being experimental with your hair doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to go all-out with new hues, statement fringing or lashings of layers. Often, the simplest switches make the most impact. Right now, as our strands continue to grow without the prospect of a cut any time soon, it seems everyone is busy dreaming of and mood boarding potential styles to opt for once the salons are back up and running.And, with more time to ponder on and weigh up the pros of a dramatic change, I thought it might be worth sharing my recent experience in hope it might inspire some of you. You see, I recently chopped off my lengthy blonde hair to join the bob/long bob brigade. A few months back, after researching for a feature on blunt bob hairstyles, I convinced myself to go for the chop, which was masterfully created by…

November 12, 2021 at 08:00AM There are only a handful of items that you can genuinely wear at any time of the year. Jeans are one of them, save perhaps on the few days when temperatures are at their highest (and you know how few of those there are). The other is bodysuits. Although it’s considered a summertime staple, we find the bodysuit loans itself well to the cooler months, too, when you could use a little more insulation than usual. So we thought we’d put these two pieces together to come up with a selection of bodysuit-and-jeans outfits that can take you through the morning, noon and night.The style set has already zeroed in on this formidable pairing and has been wearing their bodysuit-and-jeans outfits with zeal over the last few months. From ensembles that work for, well, work to combinations that are perfect for…

November 12, 2021 at 07:20AM There are two types of people right now: those who are already in the festive swing and playing Mariah Carey from the rooftops, and those who are not quite there yet. If you’ve already got the party playlist on then you may be ready to embrace sequins in all their sparkly glory. If you’re sticking to a classic cold-weather wardrobe, you may need some gentle encouragement to embrace sparkles. And this is where we come in. The sequin–most likely midi–skirt has been making an appearance on our Instagram feeds lately, and we are here for it. An inevitably cool way to step (not leap) into party season dressing is to follow the London laid-back look. Similar to wearing a dress with trainers, wearing a sequin skirt with a casual chunky knit, a humble cardigan or polo top is the way…
