October 16, 2021 at 08:00AM When it comes to celebrity beauty recommendations, they tend to fall into one of two camps: in-salon treatments and cosmetic procedures with the best names in the industry (which are totally out of the realm of possibility for most of us) or luxury skincare products with a three-figure price tag. So when I heard murmurings that a genuinely affordable beauty brand with legions of A-list devotees had just landed at Cult Beauty, I was instantly intrigued. After all, Jennifer Aniston and under-£11 skincare isn’t a combination that you come across often. The brand in question? Heritage Store.The brand offers a range of basic yet effective skincare products and actually started its life as a health food store way back in 1969. Cruelty-free, vegan and totally free of artificial dyes, preservatives and sulphates, Heritage Store bridges the gap between beauty and wellness to deliver multipurpose products that can be…

October 16, 2021 at 08:00AM We routinely turn to Janet Gunn, the 58-year-old influencer behind The Grateful Gardenia, for sartorial guidance. And while age should have nothing to do with your style choices, we’re always interested in her fashion viewpoint specifically given her experience over the years building a well-rounded wardrobe. Today, we wanted to gain further insight into some of the go-to shoe silhouettes she swears by. And while she wears a variety, there’s one key style she wears on repeat and will never retire. Yes, flat shoes, given their comfortable and versatile nature.Below, you’ll uncover the six flat shoe styles Gunn will never give up, complete with styling notes from her. And if you’re inspired in adding one of her must-have silhouettes into your arsenal as well, we also rounded up chic styles to consider if you’re shopping at the moment.“These are timeless shoe styles…

October 16, 2021 at 08:00AM In recent years, it was typical to see leggings paired with sneakers or a pair of slide sandals from time to time, but that’s about it. This winter, celebrities have been wearing them outside of the gym a lot more than usual, even dressing them up with chic outerwear and jewellery. And the particular shoe style that’s most often worn with jeans this time of year? Ankle boots.Yes, you read correctly—leather ankle boots (and not just Uggs) have made their way back into celebrities’ legging outfits, many of which have heels. We’ll admit that they look very, very chic. Take Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, for example, in her long vest, athletic leggings, and black suede ankle boots. Want to see more proof? Scroll for the celeb-approved legging-and–ankle-boot outfits that may encourage you to follow suit (and shop stylish leggings and ankle boots, of course).On Jennifer…

October 16, 2021 at 06:08AM I’m something of an affordable shopping expert, having cut my fashion editor teeth on a weekly magazine that had the sole purpose of showcasing the hottest pieces on the high street. And although my tastes and budget have evolved over time, still, nothing beats the buzz of finding something affordable and stylish and that you know is going to look so much more expensive when you wear it.So, when my colleagues asked me to create an edit of trendy outfits under £100, I was more than up to the challenge. I scoured social media to unearth a selection of outfits I really love, and then I began tracking down the frugal pieces I needed to re-create them. I knew I could (and would) do the homages justice, but even I was impressed at just how many I was…

October 16, 2021 at 06:05AM If you’re anything like me, you’ve spent the last 1.5 years rewatching the classic rom-coms of the late ‘90s and early ‘00s. When everything feels like it’s in disarray, there’s nothing more comforting than escaping into a world of clichéd meet-cutes, dramatic proclamations of love and guaranteed storybook endings.As the rest of the world invested their time in dramatic thrillers and cliffhanger-laden series (Squid Games, I’m looking at you) I happily retreated to an alternate reality before lockdowns, global pandemics or even social media existed. And while, the saccharine sweet, completely unrealistic storylines were enough to keep me around, I found myself staying for the fashion. From Julia Roberts’s leather blazer and beret combo in Notting Hill to Meg Ryan’s bookstore chic attire in You’ve Got Mail, I quickly discovered watching ‘90s rom-coms was more than just a…

October 16, 2021 at 06:00AM If there’s one store that epitomises the longevity and ageless appeal of the Great British high street, it would have to be John Lewis & Partners. We all have our own memories of the institution, whether it’s shopping for school shoes or manically buying scented candles and mugs the day before Christmas. While John Lewis may have a lead role in these nostalgic shopping memories, I recently discovered that it’s also a gold mine for cult brands that you might struggle to find IRL. After a quick browse of the womenswear category, I couldn’t believe what an eclectic range of labels there was. Not only were the likes of Mango and Ted Baker included, but there were also names such as Ninety Percent, the fashion editor–approved sustainable basics brand, and Les Girls Les Boys, aka the new-gen offering of the underwear world. Having everything in one place honestly makes…

October 16, 2021 at 06:00AM I love autumn. Honestly, it is the best season. I could say it’s because I love the colour the leaves change as the weather gets colder. Or that all the festivities, including Halloween, Bonfire Night, Hanukkah and Christmas are all the best events of the year. But really it’s because we get to wear great knitwear again. This season, it’s all about the Breton jumper. The Arket white and blue striped version has already sold out (with the blue with white striped version still available), and every time I wear my Baum Und Pferdgarten roll neck Breton knit, I get compliments. The only thing I’ve found with this style of jumper is that it can seem a little repetitive. I’m guilty of jumper wearing mine with jeans and that’s it. But I’m here to tell you that there are so many other…

October 16, 2021 at 06:00AM & Other Stories is generally known for being one of the best places to go for knitwear on the high street, but I have to say, this season it has really stepped it up a gear. There is one jumper in particular that has caught the attention of the WWW editors, and we felt it our duty to share it with you. Coming with a striking checkerboard print and collared neckline, this knit looks seriously expensive in our opinion. You can add it to jeans, throw it over slip skirts or even dress it up for dinner with black trousers, heels and gold jewellery.The fit comes up quite oversized so we recommend sizing down if you prefer a less baggy finish, however we quite like the effect of a looser jumper, especially when paired with slim fit trousers. It reminds us of the brand’s…

October 16, 2021 at 06:00AM A lot of us have our own hair gripes, right? Personally, I like my hair for the most part—it’s stick-straight and easy to manage, which is great because I’m 100% lazy when it comes to styling or using any other products aside from shampoo and conditioner. Most days, I just air-dry it and call it a day.That doesn’t mean I don’t get frustrated with my strands, though. My biggest hair complaint is that because it’s stick-straight, it’s very flat and on the thinner side. It seriously cannot hold a curl at all. I can spend all this time with my curling iron, and then, guaranteed, an hour or two later, it slowly deflates and becomes straight again. The same goes for any type of volume—I’ve tried so many products to get that big, pumped-up hair, but many have failed me.Since I’ve…

October 16, 2021 at 05:20AM Can you wear black to a wedding? In my opinion, it’s a yes, but with a few rules, regs and caveats. I’ve personally worn black to three weddings over the past few years, and it hasn’t caused trouble yet. In fact, the formulas I’ve come up with have become really trusty, fail-safe outfits for those nuptials and events where you really don’t have a clue what to wear.Unlike many other social engagements, weddings can often come with a specific set of guidelines and requests from the happy couple, but a lot of these have changed and evolved over time. Like many etiquette rules surrounding vows, engagements, gifts and more, appropriate wedding guest attire can often fall into a grey area. And despite many traditional regulations relaxing, this idea of whether black is suitable or not still comes up…
