April 18, 2022 at 08:00AM There’s a common misconception that short hair doesn’t boast the same versatility as long hair—especially a cut that’s paired with an even shorter front. But the truth is, a short haircut with a fringe is not only a transition style (like after winter and before summer), but it can also be switched up at a moment’s notice. (Think front to side bangs, slicked back, or parted in the middle.) Don’t believe us? We’ve rounded up 25 short hairstyles with bangs that prove this is the perfect cut for spring.Gone are the days of straightening your fringe within an inch of their lives only to have them contradict the rest of your hair. Let your shag boast the same natural texture for a seriously showstopping look.First made famous by Mia Farrow in the ‘60s horror film, this short cut is nothing…

April 18, 2022 at 08:00AM The sun is shining (at least, it is while I type this), and temperatures have reached double figures. At the risk of jinxing the weather, let’s talk about spring outfits. I’ve been in spring mode for a while, but with the weather finally taking a turn, now seems like the perfect time to really start breaking down outfit trends we can expect from 2022. With the burden of layers almost behind us, I’m turning my attention to the pieces that’ll help make my existing wardrobe feel more current and on-point for spring. By now, I expect you’ve already brushed up on your fashion knowledge by consulting our seasonal trend report. (If you haven’t, take a moment to get up to speed—I’ll wait.) Now, while the runway trends are undoubtedly important and will set the tone for the next…

April 18, 2022 at 08:00AM While French women aren’t afraid to try new trends or challenge the clichés that are often attached to the French aesthetic, there’s no denying that they wear trend-proof pieces particularly well. Classic items that don’t date year-on-year and that come in handy when styling the more statement clothes in their wardrobe. French women have helped me better understand the need for solid basics, pieces that work hard and can be worn with a multitude of outfits. And this is undoubtedly the case when it comes to their footwear selection.Ever wondered which shoe styles French women wear during springtime? Let’s find out. As a confessed Francophile, I’m always looking for new ways to bestow my own looks with some Gallic charm. On the cusp of spring, I was particularly interested in finding out which spring shoes French girls are most likely…

April 18, 2022 at 08:00AM If I had to highlight only one term that has the power to make a beauty editor shudder unlike any other, it would have to be “anti-ageing”. Because the truth is (and brace yourselves for this one), no beauty product truly has the power to totally reverse the signs of ageing. No serum, cream, oil or mask that money can buy can actually eradicate wrinkles. With that being said, there are a very small number of ingredients that can definitely help minimise signs of ageing (and even more so when they’re used alongside youth-preserving massage techniques). But when I say very small, I mean it. In fact, there is only a handful of ingredients that have been scientifically-proven to reduce the appearance of age-related skin issues. From wrinkle-reducing retinol to skin brightening vitamin C, it’s hard to comprehend why beauty companies expect us to pay premium…

April 18, 2022 at 08:00AM When it comes to hair trends, glossy, blunt cuts have most definitely reigned supreme as of late. For the last few years, we have found ourselves swooning over glossy, glass-like lengths and adding all of the blunt-bob inspiration to our saved folders on Instagram. There’s no doubt that blunt cuts have had their fair share of love. But now, there’s a new hair trend on the horizon.With the time between our hair appointments becoming longer, high-maintenance blunt chops are on the out, and no-fuss, layered hair is back (see the recent success of the shag and the long shag). Not only do layers give hair an undone, effortless vibe, but they also help to disguise breakage and split ends (things that have become inevitable). While we don’t have long to wait until salon doors reopen, we think it’s still important to consider the…
