October 25, 2021 at 08:00AM Being a beauty journalist is wonderful for so many reasons. First of all, we get to write about beauty products all day long. Then there’s the fact we get first dibs on all of the new products before they even hit the shelves. And need I even mention all of the advice we get day in, day out from the best experts in the industry?And while we beauty editors hate to complain about anything to do with our jobs, there is sadly one major downside. You see, testing out products all day long isn’t exactly what one might call a solid routine—and skin really likes routine. Constantly chopping and changing products does not a good skincare routine make, and our skin knows it.In fact, my skin gets pretty stressed. More often than not, I’m dealing with breakouts, dryness, redness and/or irritation. And stressed skin makes me…

October 25, 2021 at 08:00AM We’re only mere days into autumn, and pieces that will define the season ahead are already beginning to emerge. The fashion set, it seems, is just as impatient as we are. From Ganni’s chunky knee boots (or the Marks and Spencer iteration if you’re feeling less flush) to Breton-stripe knits, these are the buys to own if you want to look on-trend and in the know right now.Eclipsing them all in covetability, however, is the quilted jacket. Of course, this isn’t exactly a new trend—variations of quilted jackets have been on our radar for the past few winters. But this year is about cropped, waist-grazing jackets with a defined quilted finish in either diamond or more abstract patterns, which is not to be mistaken for the tubular lines associated with puffer coats.The sudden rise in the quilted jacket’s popularity can be traced…

October 25, 2021 at 07:00AM I created What to Buy Now to bring you a concise edit every Monday of the items I really love, including pieces from the high street and designer labels, vintage gems you can buy online and even charity-shop treasures. I’m constantly scanning the most stylish online stores, so you can feel safe in the knowledge that you won’t miss a thing.I know that your fashion requirements can vary massively from season to season, whether you’re looking for an immaculately tailored staple, an affordable sundress or the perfect pair of shoes. So not only will I cover all the bases, but as an ardent believer in mindful consumption, I'll also make sure everything I include will look just as fresh in a year’s time as it does now.Of course, I’ll also bring you those pieces that simply set your heart racing in a way that only fashion can. This week’s highlights include plenty of…

October 25, 2021 at 06:00AM Working out what your skin really needs to look and feel its best can be tricky, but there are a few steps that skin experts unanimously agree should be part of a good skincare routine. First, a good cleanser; think of this step as the foundation on which the rest of your routine is built. Second, an SPF; wearing sun protection is the one piece of skincare advice that I hear most from dermatologists for preventing everything from signs of ageing to pigmentation. Third, moisturiser is vital for every skin type, from oily to dry, for repairing the skin’s barrier and maintaining hydration levels. Finally, a serum, which is possibly one of my favourite steps in my skincare routine and one that Kate Moss’s facialist told me is key to maintaining youthful, glowy skin.However, serums undoubtedly have a bit of a bad reputation for being costly, so it’s understandable that many people…

October 25, 2021 at 06:00AM Luckily for us, it doesn’t seem like chunky boots are going anywhere anytime soon. Year after year, they come back stronger than ever—so much so that we’re pretty sure they’ve officially transitioned from a trend into a classic wardrobe staple. As you can probably tell from all our Instagram photos and WTBYB shoots, we Who What Wear editors are big fans of the chunky boot in all its iterations. Ankle, knee-high, lace-up—you name it. Maybe we love them so much because they’re just so versatile. Throw them on with your favourite full-length jeans, cropped jeans, mini skirt or midi dress, and they’ll upgrade the most basic of looks instantly. You can even wear them with your summer dresses to carry them straight into autumn. Plus, they’re practical, and we love it when form and function meet in the…

October 25, 2021 at 06:00AM Like anyone, we love a good pop of colour every now and then, but—hear us out—all-neutral outfits can be incredibly chic. We also can’t deny how simple they make getting dressed—which is sometimes why colourful dressing is deemed trickier. Sticking to a spectrum of cream, brown, and beige means you can mix and match with abandon because all these shades go together seamlessly.Still, worried that working in the absence of vibrant hues will make your minimalist outfits a little lackluster? Trust us when we say neutral-toned dressing is anything but boring. It just takes a jolt of inspiration to get the outfits right. Think about layering textures when testing out monochrome dressing, and you’ll stand out but in a subtle way. To prove our point, we rounded up some of our favourite looks from trendsetters who’ve tackled neutrals successfully…

October 25, 2021 at 06:00AM I always felt like I had long lashes. That, along with using a lash curler and a selection of curling and lengthening mascaras every day I felt like my lashes were perfectly fine– no further assistance necessary. I very rarely wore falsies and never tried extensions; I just didn’t feel like I needed extra help. But as is the nature of being a Beauty Editor, when it came to using Revitalash I was curious about the claims of longer, stronger lashes that came along with the Eyelash Serum that has become a cult favourite for beauty lovers around the world. Revitalash Advanced Eyelash Serum isn’t new by any means (although the brand is launching a new brow and lash masque in November 2021), in fact the brand celebrated its 15th year anniversary this year and they’ve sold 10 million tubes worldwide.…

October 25, 2021 at 06:00AM Approximately 10 minutes after it was announced about the lockdown back in November 2020, I started a hunt for a coat that could actually double as a duvet. If my life was going to be al fresco, I wanted to be cocooned in as much padding as possible. After a week of searching, I settled on an oversized puffer from Arket which is made from recycled down and is quite possibly the warmest thing I’d ever put on my body, and I have a feeling it will remain a staple for winter 2021. In my hunt, I’ve looked at every puffer coat on the internet, so I thought I'd share with you my rather extensive shortlist, many of which are back in stock this season. If you have a higher budget, Moncler, Max Mara, and Prada are the clear front runners, and unsurprisingly, I’ve found that that Scandi brands really…
