The VMAs red carpet has long been known as one of the boldest and most experimental of the year (Lady Gaga’s meat dress in 2010 pretty much solidified that), so jaw-dropping looks are to be expected.

September 13, 2021 at 08:00AM From bakuchiol to CBD, 2021 has already seen it’s fair share of trending skincare ingredients, and I’ve tried them all. From overcoming my resistance to retinol to embracing a more pared-back approach to my skincare routine, I love experimenting to work out which ingredients are truly worth putting on my skin.There’s one key ingredient, however, that I’ve wholly neglected to sing the praises of this year. Despite using it every single day in my own routine, this ingredient has been somewhat overlooked in favour of the buzzy new launches that have been leading the way. Yet ask anyone with amazing skin which scientific ingredient it is that they swear by, and I guarantee it will be this one.The ingredient in question? Vitamin C. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C might not be anything new, but it’s certainly a bit of a wonder ingredient if you aren’t…

September 13, 2021 at 08:00AM The saying “you get what you pay for” applies to so many things in fashion, but one thing we struggle to justify it for is lingerie. Never has so little fabric amounted to so many pound signs as it does when you peruse luxury lingerie. And seeing as it’s something we wear, quite literally, every single day, it’s not something we’re prepared to spend our entire salary on, which is why we’ve scoured the digital shopping sphere to bring you the best affordable lingerie brands we can find.Emmanuelle Koffi wears a white lace lingerie set from Gooseberry Intimates. While they’ll save you some pennies in the process, if there’s one thing these affordable lingerie brands don’t skimp on, it’s style. From comfortable jersey triangle bralettes and big briefs to lace-trimmed teddies and even sultry see-through shorts, from an array…

September 13, 2021 at 08:00AM I won’t be the first or the last person to ever panic about what to wear to a wedding. The truth is that it's difficult because we’ve all been hardwired into buying something new for the occasion. I imagine this is something to do with the psychology behind getting dressed. A new dress will make us feel and look better, so we’re always striving for the next dress to give us that confidence boost. I get it because I’ve been there, but there are two major problems with this thinking: One, it’s not ethical to continue buying a new dress every time there’s a fancy event on only to never wear it again. Two, it’s not a financial option for most of us. But what if I were to tell you that you can wear a new dress to every nuptial you’ve…

September 13, 2021 at 07:00AM I’ve always liked to have a look at my horoscope but never really took much notice of it–telling me that I’m a classic Capricorn who works too much is not exactly news to me. But then, 18 months ago, when our lives became completely unpredictable and the world turned upside down, I found myself engrossed in them, to such an extent that I’ve now even got an app that delivers a specific-to-my-birth-time horoscrope every day. No, I don’t have a problem, but do feel free to psychoanalyse me and what my behaviour means when it comes to understanding the world. I would like to point out though that I’m not the only one. Earlier this year the BBC reported how there’s been a boom in people taking an interesting in astrology.This obsession with star signs has translated into fashion.…

September 13, 2021 at 07:00AM At this point, I don’t think there’s anything I won’t try when it comes to skincare devices, at home or in a clinic. Whether it’s electrical muscle stimulation during a FaceGym workout or a night time routine gua sha massage, I’m always up for ramping up my skincare routine with additional support.That being said, I can’t say that I had given LED much thought. As much as I love a device, the one thing that any tool I try has in common is that you can pretty much see an instant difference, something that doesn’t happen in LED technology. It’s only with perseverance that you will see the benefits of using an LED mask in your regular routine. But if you keep it up for at least four weeks, the benefits are vast. From helping with oil regulation to…
