25 Affordable Autumn Pieces You Can Take With You Into Party Season

October 26, 2021 at 06:00AM We’re into that funny time of year where it’s not quite warm per se, and it’s not quite layering up for winter time. Autumn, that’ll be it. And although we love this season for the leaves (the leaves!), it can be a difficult one to dress for. Transitional, in-betweeny seasons always are, but let’s look at the positives: it’s the perfect temperature for wearing a blazer without a coat on top, you can still wear a dress with chunky boots and no tights, and if you go out for the evening you can get away with a slinky outfit (and maybe a leather jacket) without the risk of freezing.Luckily Nasty Gal has just launched a new drop of transitional pieces; it’s as if they knew we were in need of inspiration. There’s a healthy dose of ‘autumn cosy’– including some…

32 Decorations If You’re Counting Down the Days to Put Up Your Christmas Tree

October 26, 2021 at 06:00AM When it comes to Christmas festivities, there tend to be two distinct camps of people: those who play Mariah Carey on repeat starting in September and those who don’t want to hear the “C-word” until Advent. This year, those in the former want some festive cheer earlier than ever.

The 21 Items From Warehouse’s A/W 21 Drop That Have Caught My Eye

October 26, 2021 at 06:00AM Like many other British high-street institutions, Warehouse has undergone a fair amount of change over the last couple of years, having been acquired by the Boohoo Group back in the summer of 2020. There was always a risk that this iconic brand, along with the likes of Oasis and Karen Millen, would lose its essence as an individual brand once it was subsumed into the e-commerce behemoth, but from what I’ve seen, Warehouse’s designs are looking better than ever. From quirky throwback jackets and elevated knitwear to an unexpected yet undeniably chic collaboration with The British Museum, Warehouse seems to have taken over where OG Topshop left off. This brand’s autumn drop is further confirmation of the innovations and distinctive designs it’s championing right now, so I decided to create a round-up of some of the particular styles that caught my eye.  The mood for the…

These 12 Skincare Products Are So Good You’d Have No Idea They’re Vegan

October 26, 2021 at 06:00AM Some words in beauty are considered dirty. In the UK, where our beauty products are heavily regulated to ensure they meet stringent health and safety standards, marketing terms such as clean and toxic-free make most beauty experts turn their noses up. As a result, there’s a whole load of results-driven beauty buffs out there who don’t want to give such products the time of day.One word that all too often gets lumped together with beauty’s “dirty” terms is vegan. The reason? Because many of the things that beauty marketing experts deem “unclean” also make the products not suitable for vegans. As a result, it often feels as though beauty products can’t be vegan without also being branded “clean,” leaving those who want hardworking, efficacious, science-backed skincare products that are also vegan feeling left behind.Because the truth is vegan-friendly beauty products serve a far…

I’m a Fragrance Snob, But These Celebrity Perfumes Are Surprisingly Good

October 26, 2021 at 06:00AM I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’m a perfume obsessive. However, when I call myself a perfume snob, it’s less about the price that I’m willing to pay for a decent perfume—I’ve got expensive scents and affordable ones in my collection, designer and high-street—and more about the artistry and expert noses that have gone into creating a fragrance. One thing that I’ve learned from amassing such a considerable perfume collection is that you can really tell when a genuine expert has had a hand in creating a scent. For instance, & Other Stories and Zara both stock an array of innovative yet purse-friendly fragrances that smell decidedly expensive. Their secret? The high-street shops teamed up with Byredo’s Ben Gorham and Jo Malone CBE respectively to ensure that their high-street scent offerings smelt incredible. But when it comes to celebrity perfumes, I’m downright dubious about the time, effort and expertise that…

Transparency Checklist: How to Spot Greenwashing and Shop (More) Sustainably

October 25, 2021 at 10:44PM We’re officially in the age of brand collaborations. From unlikely pairings like Crocs and Balenciaga to luxury fashion house partnerships such as Fendi and Versace, two brands coming together to create a collection is a surefire way to garner some press (ahem) while imagining new product possibilities. But while brand collabs attract attention, shoppers are increasingly looking for more than just flashy fashion drops. Instead, consumers are adopting a sustainability mindset — and more than ever expect brands to step up in the face of the climate crisis. Some companies are addressing this growing demand: Most recently, Tommy Hilfiger and Timberland collaborated on a collection the brands’ say is focused on sustainability, with the line featuring pieces made from “recycled wool” and “sustainable rubber.” And while fashion brands committing to be environmentally-friendly is a step in the right…
