November 04, 2021 at 06:00AM In the world of women’s shoes, I long held an underlying frustration with the lack of clean-lined, classic styles on offer. Men’s shoes always seemed to have this polished timelessness that I so craved from my shoe purchases. Why was it so hard to find a well-designed lace-up without all the bells and whistles? Then along came Church’s.The brand is hardly a new addition to the shoe scene (it dates back to the 19th century), but I didn’t fall in love with Church’s achingly chic designs until I discovered them on the feeds of timeless trendsetters such as Lizzy Hadfield and Brittany Bathgate. The brand’s shoes cover everything from loafers to sturdy boots. It really is a flat-shoe lover’s dream.You know that these are the sort of shoes that will truly stand the test of time and will…

November 04, 2021 at 06:00AM Known for its achingly cool and contemporary spin on minimalism, Arket has been a fashion-editor go-to ever since it arrived at our shores in 2017. It came as a surprise to no one, then, when it announced it was launching its first jewellery capsule last year, and naturally, the pieces sold out within a matter of weeks. Well, we’re happy to report that the highly anticipated second drop arrived this week, and obviously, it’s looking better than ever.Comprised of a concise 13-piece edit, the jewellery collection stays within the same vein of Arket’s main-line fashion collections: classic, versatile and polished in an understated way. We’re talking about chunky chain necklaces, hoop earrings and elegant armlets in both gold and silver finishes. Oh, and a cheeky pop of blue. With Christmas around the corner, we have a feeling that these would be the ideal gifts…

November 04, 2021 at 06:00AM We all want to keep the chicness levels of our outfits high, even when the temperatures are low, but the journey to fashion nirvana in the winter months is anything but easy. No one wants to look like the Michelin Man, even if they are in a white puffer coat. This, however, is why we’ve sought a little guidance from some women who know what they’re talking about when it comes to cold-weather styling.They might reside slightly closer to the equator than we do, but the French also experience severe cold snaps in the winter months. At least, those in the northern regions do. So what do French-girl winter outfits look like?We’ve scouted 10 stylish looks from nine of our favourite French influencers, each of which we’d happily re-create for ourselves this winter. Scroll on to see a selection of the French girl winter…

November 04, 2021 at 06:00AM From chatting to friends and colleagues, it’s become clear to me that after a long 18 months of sequin-free dressing, many of us are keen to get glammed up for party season. Of course, this will manifest in different ways for different people. For some, it will be going all out with a minidress and statement accessories. For others, it will simply be putting on heels for the first time in over a year. Personally, I’ve loved the unexpected “high-low” approach that has been cropping up on Instagram recently, which has seen fashion lovers pairing traditionally casual styles with unmistakably party-ready buys.I’m talking about sequinned tops with jeans, frothy frocks with track-sole boots and fancy midi skirts with logo tees. It speaks to my personal desire to want to feel comfy in a party outfit while still looking dressy, and I also enjoy the eclectic aesthetic that…
