October 11, 2021 at 08:00AM Leggings are staples in many wardrobes given their versatile and comfortable nature. While some specific pairs are great for various workouts, the stretchy pants also work for those day-to-day looks when you’re out and about. Today, I thought I’d talk about the latter and showcase some of the chicest pieces to wear with leggings for autumn 2021.In reality, you could pair a smattering of items with leggings, but there are a few key pieces that I think will elevate your legging looks even more. I scrolled through Instagram to uncover the forward items some of my favorite fashion follows are styling with their leggings right now. There’s everything from a bold outerwear choice to a specific knitwear silhouette that’s quite polished.All of that shopping and styling inspiration is coming at you below.A white button-down shirt is timeless, and one in…

October 11, 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 11, 2021 at 06:30AM It can be all too easy when temperatures drop to a certain (read: icy) level to lean on the same outfits you have for the past few years, huddling up in grey, navy and black knitwear and the same black ankle boots. While you can’t beat a classic, if you’re looking for some new winter combinations, the likes of Grece Ghagnem, Lucy Williams and more have been wearing a number of practical yet still interesting looks you too will be able to wear on repeat until spring.Many of these key items you’ll already own, such as roll-necks and classic blazers, but you can make your winter wardrobe more 2021 with cream boots, teddy coats and leather trousers. Just because you have to make sensible choices doesn’t mean you have to spend the next three months in boring and unadventurous outfits. Keep scrolling to…

October 11, 2021 at 06:31AM If you can find a more iconic fashion duo than the dress-and-boot combo, do tell. This pairing is so easy to fall back on right now when the days are shortening and the weather is dull so we’re not able to get as creative with our wardrobes. Grab a go-to dress, throw on a pair of sheer tights and your favourite boots and you’re ready. We’ve spotted some great boot-and-dress combos recently, from street style at fashion week to some of our favourite influencers, which inspired us to start the shopping list below. Although you can be pretty safe in the knowledge that most boot styles go with most dresses, these street style looks might just inspire you to leave your comfort zone and try a new pairing this season. I’m on the lookout for the perfect black chunky pair to balance…

October 11, 2021 at 06:03AM Each season, as fashion month begins editors, influencers and general fashion enthusiasts are bombarded with new season styles. With four separate cities putting on events and several shows each day, there’s a veritable banquet of looks and designers to keep track of. And while newness is of course the name of the game, this season I found myself experiencing a recurring sense of déjà vu.From New York to Milan and Paris, several influencer designers and brands sent looks down the runway which felt oddly familiar, immediately conjuring up nostalgia for the early 2000s. Miu Miu created barely there mini skirts adorned with box pleats and thin belts, a look which Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and every other Y2K It girl heavily invested in back in 2002. While cargo trousers (yes, cargo trousers!) were back on the agenda at Tom Ford, validating the…

October 11, 2021 at 06:00AM I’m going to come clean: Over the last few weeks I’ve been experiencing what can only be described as product fatigue. Of course, one of the best parts of my job as a beauty editor is getting the chance to try out the latest beauty products, but every now and then the sheer volume of newness can get a little overwhelming. After all, we’re creatures of habits at heart and having to constantly switch in new products and pass along ones that aren’t quite right can feel like a lot—especially when you’re about to embark on testing your 17th new moisturiser of the month. Suffice to say, I've been dealing with some product burnout lately, particularly with regards to my makeup bag where I just can’t seem to summon the enthusiasm to test out new things. Like many people, I’m still working from…

October 11, 2021 at 06:00AM As boring as it sounds, there aren’t many of us who could live, sartorially-speaking, without our favourite jeans. They’re the easiest thing to grab-and-go, whether you’re meeting friends for brunch at the weekend or getting a little dressy for date night. Arguably one of the most democratising items of clothing, jeans can be found at every price point and in every cut, colour and finish you could imagine. Flare, high-waisted, bleached, distressed, cropped—choose your fighter.On the high street, Arket, & Other Stories and Weekday are universally considered the creme de la creme of denim by fashion editors, who prize them for both their variety and purse-friendly price points. Of course, we find that jeans shopping is one of those deeply personal things, so you can’t be too prescriptive, but these 3 brands have a pretty high shopping success rate in our experience. …

October 11, 2021 at 06:00AM We know how it is, you’ve already taken hours washing and conditioning your hair. Perhaps you even sprung for a pre-wash treatment like a hot oil or maybe the Olaplex No. 3, your hair is in tip top condition and has already got ample product in it, does it really need another one applied before you heat style? The short answer is yes. Using a heat protector single-handedly keeps hair safe under the soaring temperatures of your hairdryers, straighteners, curlers and wands. The amount of my friends that admit that they’ll often go in on their strands without any heat protection is baffling to me. It’s futile putting all that effort into keeping your hair healthy with conditioners and treatments and then using 180c degree heat on it without a shield. It’s like taking a dish out of a hot oven…
