November 12, 2021 at 11:32AM Even before the slipper-clad months of lockdown, I never would’ve considered myself a ‘heels person’. Yes, I do enjoy a heeled boot during the winter months, but when it comes to needle-thin stilettos and arch-crippling soles, I’m afraid my tolerance is fairly low. This is why shopping for party shoes has become my fashion nemesis, and with my 30th coming up at the end of the month I knew I had to bite the bullet. Thankfully, ASOS saved me a whole lot of grief, as it just created the most perfect pair of party heels.Coming in a classic Mary Jane silhouette, chunky platform heel and high-shine patent finish, these shoes certainly pack a punch. I was worried that they’d look too 'school girlish’, but when styled with sheer tights and a mini dress, they honestly looked so chic. Best of all, I can…

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 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…
