August 11, 2021 at 08:00AM When it comes to this time of the year, it’s totally normal for skin to seem seriously dull. In fact, beyond looking a little lacklustre, it could possibly be feeling tight, dry and sore. If there’s one thing that the beauty world is certain of, it’s that cold weather is rarely good news for your complexion. And don’t I know it. Despite the fact the summer months had my skin radiating an out-of-this-world glow, the start of winter had me sporting a drab, lacklustre and seriously distressed face.At the start of the season, as I emptied out the contents of my makeup bag in the search for any kind of illuminating product to pour over my face/bathe in, I couldn’t help but wonder if my skin would ever get its glow back. Sure, I could slather my cheekbones…

August 11, 2021 at 08:00AM In case you didn’t get the memo, when it comes to the latest hair trends, the shorter the cut the better. Lobs, bobs, and blunt cuts are seeing a lot of love lately, and many fashion influencers have been reaching for the scissors (or, you know, booking a hair appointment). For curly hair, the short-cut trend brings a lot of potential when it comes to revamping your style. A shorter length, cut above the chin, can give curly textures a lot of extra body and volume. The cut can be carefree and, if you fancy, give off “sexy bedhead” But as most curly-haired folks know, it can take some work to make your curls do as they’re told. Can short curly hair be low-maintenance? No matter your curl pattern, density, or face shape or whether you have loose waves or tight…

August 11, 2021 at 08:00AM There’s no denying that the wedding industry has been turned on its head over the past year. Plenty of nuptials have been cancelled, re-scheduled or made incredibly low-key over the last 18 months due to the ever-changing rules. But finally, as restrictions are eased even further, weddings appear to be full steam ahead and perhaps more of a big deal than ever. This also means, of course, that we’ll have an excuse to dress up once again (hurrah!), but seeing as we haven’t done much of that of late, we all could do with a few reminders of how to actually get dressed for big events such as this. And this is how we’re here to help. We all have to walk that fine line when it comes to deciding what to wear to a wedding: You want to look striking, somewhat fun,…

August 11, 2021 at 08:00AM The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out in rainy Wolverhampton today for a series of engagements and proved, yet again, that denim is not the only way to pull together an easy, chic outfit. Wearing a look that was very reminiscent of a navy ensemble she chose on a royal tour last year (more on those looks below) she assembled a fitted coat over a polka-dot, contrast-collar blouse and with a trouser style that is fast becoming her signature: tailored flares.On Kate Middleton: Tory Burch Silk Satin Polka Dot Blouse; Jigsaw trousers. In a couple of styling moves that are now recognisably very HRH, Kate chose to go tonal (a move that makes any outfit simpler), to add in some classic pearl earrings and to ensure that her wide-leg trousers were (probably) tailored just so, in order to sit neatly above her…

August 11, 2021 at 06:30AM There’s high chance you’re already somewhat familiar with Gisou. The pretty bottles are basically beauty royalty over on Instagram, with all of the cool girls using them as props for stylish set-ups. Despite the fact the brand only launched in the UK a few weeks ago, I’d go as far to say it has been one of Instagram’s most popular beauty brands over the past couple of years. And I’m a little embarrassed to admit that it is because of this that I’ve been holding onto some resentment towards it.You see, while I had become all too familiar with the way that those cult Gisou products looked, I had never, in all of the many hours I spent scrolling Instagram a day, seen a review on them. I had no idea what the claims were or whether they were even…

August 11, 2021 at 06:06AM If there’s one brand I can always rely on to produce stylish and quality staples, it’s Arket. When others get swept up in fleeting trends, Arket takes time to perfect pieces that will live in my wardrobe long after a season has passed. But this acute attention to the basics doesn’t make Arket a boring brand—not by a long shot.Throughout its collections, you’ll find treasures that execute the biggest trends of the moment in a way that makes them feel like sound, everlasting investments. It's the potent blend of essentials and design flair that makes shopping at Arket so worthwhile. At the start of each season, I find it hard to resist treating myself to a few new pieces from its latest collection.I need not remind you that autumn is coming. (The latest bout of unpredictable weather is enough of a signifier.) This seasonal shift, however, is something…

August 11, 2021 at 06:00AM Logos are a contentious issue when it comes to the fashion world. Back in 2018, Hedi Slimane took over as creative director at Celine. One of the first changes he made was to take off the acute accent off the first ‘e’. Die-hard fans were less than impressed all because of one tiny detail—to them the logo with the accent was everything. Over at Burberry, Riccardo Tisci was met with a similar situation when he changed the Burberry logo from one that was serif to sans serif. He also introduced a new monogram style. While the uproar wasn’t as loud, there were mixed reviews on what the creative director had done at the heritage brand. Evidently, logos mean a lot to us and in 2021, they’re back. However, this year, the logo fashion trend is more refined than previous years.…
