April 14, 2022 at 08:00AM For most of my life, I have been blessed with pretty clear and even skin. While many of my friends battled with acne at school and throughout their teenage years, my skin stayed clear and blemish-free. That was until I hit my late 20s and I started to develop adult acne. Since then, I struggle to name a time that my face hasn’t had some sort of breakout or blemish. It is as though every time a spot started to heal, another would crop up. And so, I have been in a three-year cycle of breakouts, healing and scarring.However, since seeking professional help from a dermatologist last year, things have been looking up. I haven’t had a notable breakout in four months (which is almost miraculous), and in terms of active spots, my skin is probably the clearest it has been…

April 14, 2022 at 08:00AM There’s something about spring that makes me want to reassess all my fashion and beauty choices, whether I’m clearing out my winter wardrobe or swapping my heavier makeup base for a lighter option. And when it comes to hair, I feel a specific gravitational pull toward completely new styles, colours and cuts. Whether it’s doing a bouncier blow-dry, working with my natural texture or opting for a different hue, the hair choices for brighter spring days are endless.I know I’m not alone in wanting to switch things up (or else why would you be browsing this article, right?), so if you’re thinking of changing things up, I spoke to some of the hair-industry experts about the trends you should be aware of for spring 2022. Take note for your next salon visit or styling session.Bleaching your hair in anticipation of summer is nothing new, but there is a…

April 14, 2022 at 08:00AM Everybody loves a wardrobe staple, particularly when it’s one that works all year round, and even more so when said item is a perfect blank slate on which to add print, colour and personality. A long-sleeve top fulfils all of the above criteria and is exactly what you want in your fashion arsenal this time of year when it’s not quite warm enough for T-shirts, but jumper weather is long gone. Thankfully, designers have really taken to the long-sleeve top this season, offering souped-up versions of the basic style. Think shades of neon, cut-outs, checks and swirls. Of course, there will always be a place for the plain white, grey or black long-sleeve top, which are so useful for both layering and paring-down more statement-making separates. On the high street, COS and Arket are our go-tos for high-quality plain tops, while on the upper end of…

April 14, 2022 at 07:00AM Back in the day you could say weddings were more of a traditional affair, with one big dress and a rather formal dinner with your nearest and dearest. Now, the idea of how, when and where nuptials should take place is much more fluid. Modern weddings can last anywhere from a couple of hours at the Town Hall, to week-long far-off escapades— you do you, we say. But whichever way you choose to celebrate your love— traditional or not— if it involves an excuse for multiple outfit changes, all the better for it in our opinion. Especially when there’s so many jaw-droppingly beautiful, out-of-the-box bridal outfits out there now. Everywhere from the high street and more affordable contemporary brands to luxury designers are upping the stakes in bridalwear and adding cute mini-dresses, sparkles, feathers and fun into their collections— it…

April 14, 2022 at 07:00AM Although it sometimes feels like I have nothing to wear, I’ll admit that my wardrobe consists of the classic foundations—e.g., good denim, basic tees, etc. All that’s missing is some added spice, aka statement-making pieces that can elevate my staples so that they feel extra special and give me some more styling variety. Below, I present my current shopping list of cool and fun pieces that I’m eyeing up at Zara right now. I’ve turned towards bright saturated colours, such as pinks, oranges and rust reds, as well as vintage-inspired stripes and scarf prints. I’m also excited about the texture and proportion play, as below you’ll find dramatic maxi skirts, oversized shirts and unusual cut-out detailing to add a point of interest. Keep scrolling to see the buys that are adding some much-needed flavour to my spring wardrobe.This feels like Zara’s…

April 14, 2022 at 06:41AM Ready for summer? These outfits will help you get in the warm-weather mindset. I don’t know about you, but all I can think about is summer. If you too are dreaming of afternoons in beer gardens and summer parties with friends, then you might already be searching for the perfect summer outfits ahead of time. I bought a pair of sandals and a summer cotton dress within hours of the sun shining last week, and have been looking for outfit ideas ever since.Sometimes, summer outfits need to be straightforward and simple to assemble, with just the flourish of a key accessory or subtle injection of a new styling move, and sometimes—because the UK’s climate is so unpredictable—the layering and construction will be more demanding. We’ve supplied the more advanced levels, of course. Remember if the sandals don’t work due to rain,…
