August 08, 2021 at 06:01AM From Hollywood to the FROW, the iconic Birkin bag has become a global symbol of status and wealth. Its easy-to-recognise shape and hardware can be customised in countless exotic materials, and it’s handcrafted in a six-phase process over the course of 20 hours. Even with its jaw-dropping price tag, the Hermès Birkin remains one of the most difficult bags to get your hands on because of overwhelming demand. That said, luxury re-sale site Vestiaire Collective recently revealed that the Birkin was one of the most in-demand bags last year and saw an increase in sales of +185% in 2020. But what exactly has given this iconic piece of arm candy such enduring popularity? To understand how the Birkin bag became such a hot-ticket item, read on.A straw-and–tan leather version of the Hermès Birkin on the streets of fashion week.Jane Birkin with a…

August 08, 2021 at 06:00AM After spending the last year and a half working from home, I need some reminders about how to get dressed up again, so I’m relying on an office capsule wardrobe more than ever. In the mornings, I don’t like to spend time thinking about what I’m wearing. Instead of trying on endless outfits, I would rather spend my time sipping a morning latte, catching up on the news, and scrolling through the latest updates on my Instagram feed. To cut back on the time I’m spending deciding on what I’m wearing to work, I’ve narrowed down my options to some key office essentials to develop an easy work capsule wardrobe. Ahead, see the 18 pieces I rely on for my outfits to wear to the Who What Wear office or for smarter days working at home. I will admit that these are…

August 08, 2021 at 06:00AM There is nothing I love more than finding an item of clothing or accessory that looks pricer than it really is. I like to think of my ability to spot these pieces very easily as a bit of a superpower. Rather helpfully, the high street is nailing it right now when it comes to affordable but expensive-looking accessories. Three stores in particular—COS, Mango and Arket—all stock totes, clutches and crossbody bags that look way more expensive than their prices. I’d argue they even look designer. In some cases, I bet plenty would say the bags come from places such as The Row or Bottega Veneta. These are bold claims, but I honestly believe that the high street has never been better for great affordable bags.  Over the years, I’ve honed down my criteria for this specific type of bag. Generally speaking, the item should be devoid of embellishments. A…

August 07, 2021 at 08:00AM While a holiday for many of us still looks like a few days in Norfolk or Cornwall, several celebrities are starting to return to their yachts, heading to the likes of the Amalfi Coast and St Tropez. Envy inducing holiday pictures are back on our Instagram feeds in a big way. The locations may vary, but there is one thing these pictures all seem to have in common— loud, look-at-me bikinis. The general swimwear trend seems to be the bolder the better for 2021, with jazzy prints and vibrant colours. It’s a punchy palette you can’t help but smile at, with lime greens, oranges and bright pinks. People are certainly making up for lost time when it comes to their holiday wardrobes, and having as much fun as possible. Keep scrolling to see the bikinis Emily Ratajkowski, Cara Delevingne and…

August 07, 2021 at 08:00AM When it comes to our body, time takes its toll on just about all of it. And although we know all too well what ageing does to our skin, when it comes to other areas of our beauty regimens, age is rarely factored in. From swapping in serums that tackle fine lines and wrinkles to acid treatments that work against age spots and pigmentation, products that cater to ageing skin seem to be everywhere. But what about our hair?It turns out that besides going grey, ageing can affect our hair in a number of ways. From thinning to dryness, the ways in which our hair deals with getting older means that as time goes by, we may need to change up our routine. And one of the most effective ways we can do that is by trying out…

August 07, 2021 at 08:00AM Ever since I became aware of my hair back in high school when I finally retired my beloved slick ponytail, I’ve lamented my fine, thin locks. And after becoming a beauty editor, it’s become my mission to find out which haircuts are best for feigning the look of fuller, thicker hair. Here’s what I’ve learned: it’s all about the optical illusions your stylist creates in addition to how you care for and maintain your cut at home.“If you have fine or thin hair, the haircut you choose is super important,” explains celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson. “In general, blunter lines are always better, and if you do opt for layers, keep them minimal. Bobs, lobs, long hair that’s roughly one length, and pixies are great for this type of hair.” Oh, and avoid heavy hair products and overworking your hair at all…

August 07, 2021 at 08:00AM Skincare can be really expensive. In fact, I’m kind of fed up of tip-toeing around the fact that in so many cases, we’re all being painfully overcharged for certain skincare products. Brands know all too well the price that we’re willing to pay for great skin, and they’re not afraid to take advantage of it. However, as our skincare priorities have shifted, not only are brands charging obscene amounts of money for efficacious products, but they’re also driving up prices on products that look more aesthetically pleasing. As a result of this, it’s safe to say that when it comes to skincare, price does not always reflect quality.So when a no-frills product range comes along that doesn’t have a gimmicky name, doesn’t come housed in Instagram-worthy bottles and generally lacks fancies, it can be very easy for it…
