July 27, 2021 at 06:00AM Despite being totally obsessed with perfume and owning a frankly obscene number of bottles, there’s no doubt that my favourite perfumes tend to be united by a few key notes: musk, vanilla and patchouli. Not always together, you understand, but its these warm and cosy aromas that appeal to my senses time and time again. Whether it’s Byredo Velvet Haze, Maison Margiela Replica Whispers In the Library or Jo Malone Myrrh & Tonka Cologne, warming, woodsy perfumes have undoubtedly become my signature scents.So, when summer rolls around and the new perfume launches become lighter, fresher and undeniably citrus, I tend to give them a quick sniff and pass them onto a home where they will be much more loved than mine. Why? Well, over the years I tend to have cultivated a belief that zesty lemon and juicy orange aromas just aren’t very…

July 27, 2021 at 06:00AM There’s no doubt that the very best part of being a beauty editor is getting all of the latest beauty products sent to your front door for you to try. From bronzers and eye shadows to super serums and cleansers, virtually no new launch goes untested. But with so many new launches every single day, each with claims as groundbreaking as the next, how is anyone actually supposed to know what’s any good? Well, my friends, that’s exactly what I’m here for. I put my face, body and hair through it all so that I can report back to let you know which of this month’s beauty launches are actually worth having on your radar. Yes, I’ve spent the majority of the month testing, trialling and monitoring every single launch that came my way so that I could put all of the best new…

July 27, 2021 at 06:00AM Sequins! Shimmer! Satin! ASOS Edition’s latest drop of party dresses is a fashion magpie’s dream. I don’t know whether you were one of the first people to head out on ‘freedom day’, or rather someone who is feeling a little uncertain about socialising en-masse, either way it’s nice to know that we can finally expand our wardrobe horizons outside of its loungewear confines. While high-octane dressing is not exactly my forte, even I couldn’t resist the premium details that ASOS had included in their dresses: It’s the delicate feathered fabrics, 3D embellishments and head-to-toe sequins, all of which are usually reserved for designer brands that are 10 times the price. I’ve also included a few low-key styles to sate the appetite of all you minimalists out there, but really, ASOS Edition is all about the glitz.So, if you have a big event coming up and are in…

July 27, 2021 at 05:00AM If you were to ask me what trainers everyone needs to own, I’d say a really great pair of white trainers. For context, I’ve spent a long time loving sneakers. From the Adidas Gazelles that I got aged 9 to the collection I’ve amassed 17 years later, you could say I’m a big fan. What I’m trying to say is I don’t suddenly love sneakers because they’re ‘in’. Trainers have, of course, become quite the status symbol in the fashion world. Starting with Phoebe Philo’s love of Adidas Stan Smiths to sell-out chunky sneakers by the likes of Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton, we’re now at the point where wearing trainers is as common as wearing heels. And there are no trainers more versatile than the white trainer. But, I hear you ask, there are so many, which ones are right for me?…

July 26, 2021 at 11:39AM I know our readers love a good royal wedding, but this weekend the best I could do is serve you up a fantastic royalty-adjacent bridal look to whet your appetite before Princess Charlotte finds her partner. Princess Diana’s niece, Kitty Spencer, just got married in Rome, Italy, and the ceremony had all the trappings of a royalty-worthy affair. On Saturday, Spencer married South Africa–born businessman Michael Lewis at the Villa Aldobrandini wearing a custom Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda lace wedding dress with statement shoulders.  According to the brand, the gown was inspired by the Victorian style of the 1800s. After getting married, Spencer changed into an unexpected number for her reception: She nixed a white dress in favor of a beautiful blue frock embroidered with pink flowers, also by Dolce & Gabbana. Scroll down to see the photos. Congratulations to the newlyweds!On Kitty…

July 26, 2021 at 11:07AM I don’t want to sound like a fashion cliché but I think I’ve fallen in love with a jumper. To be fair, the pullover in question has all the attributes I’m looking for—it’s striped, loose-fitting and, crucially, looks way more expensive than it is. The piece I’m referring to comes from Arket and costs £69—the brand has reissued this jumper after similar versions sold out earlier in the year, and I (along with the rest of the Who What Wear team) have been waiting for this new drop ever since. It’s not really surprising that we’re all falling over ourselves for this high-street item, considering this is very similar to the incredibly expensive Celine version, so this feels like a real bargain. This time there are two versions for us to choose from: a blue jumper with white stripes and a white jumper with…
