March 24, 2022 at 06:06AM Before you come for me, hear me out. Jeans are definitely the backbone of my wardrobe most of the time, but lately, I’ve been putting them on hold for an item that’s just as versatile, low-key, and cool as my beloved denim but is much fresher and more current, in my humble opinion. The trend in question? Baggy trousers.Take a glance at the spring/summer 2022 runways and you’ll notice a strong theme throughout the collections: Trousers are getting roomier. Whether it’s the relaxed-fit suiting trousers that have become our staples or newer styles like cargos and parachute pants, all signs point to the reign of the baggy-pants trend—even among the Instagram crowd most devoted to classic style. (Looking at you, French girls.) Much to my surprise, fashion people are really selling me on this once-controversial trend and solidifying my decision to put my denim on…

March 24, 2022 at 12:00PM Every so often a shoe comes along that takes us all by surprise. At first it might not look like much— in this case another leather sandal– but then you see them on an influencer or fashion person or two, you start to imagine them with all your new season outfits, and think about how they could elevate your looks for years to come. Before you know it, they’re living in your head rent free.It happened with Chanel’s chunky dad sandals (yes, I’m still regretting not buying them and being able to bring them out again this spring) but this year, there’s a new ‘ugly’ sandal in town that’s stolen my fashion heart— Gucci’s Elektra. Proving they look great with jeans for spring. As a shopping expert who’s worked in this industry for almost a decade, it’s a not so…

March 24, 2022 at 08:00AM Jennifer Lopez is better known for wearing platforms than flats, but even she can’t resist the power of a practical shoe trend. Photographed with Ben Affleck in Los Angeles this weekend, J.Lo wore black Chanel loafers, a Wolford Colorado bodysuit layered under a Dolce & Gabbana jumpsuit, a Bottega Veneta bag and Prada sunglasses. Phew—that’s a whole lot of designer names all in one outfit. Although Lopez’s shoes are by Chanel, loafers are an extremely easy trend that you can buy at a range of price points. There’s no need to shell out tonnes of money to try the look. And yes, they’re very much on-trend right now. Below, I rounded up my favourite J.Lo-inspired loafers to fit different budgets. On Jennifer Lopez: Wolford Colorado bodysuit (£173); Dolce & Gabbana jumpsuit; Bottega Veneta bag; Chanel loafers; Prada sunglassesI like the little block heel on this…

March 24, 2022 at 08:00AM Is it just us or are there A LOT of weddings happening this year? Not that we’re complaining— 2022 feels like a very good year to celebrate love in all its forms. It’s just, with all these weddings being postponed and rearranged thanks to the pandemic, our social diaries for the year ahead are looking busier than ever already. Which, of course, means the need for lots of lovely outfits. When it comes to event dressing, for weddings or other one off events you want to feel your best at— we seriously recommend trying out dress rental. We love HURR, My Wardrobe and Rotaro in particular for really fun pieces you love but may not necessarily wear again. Sometimes, though, for a really special occasion, you want to invest in a dress to own for more than a few…

March 24, 2022 at 08:00AM While social media can be a hub for all things fashion and beauty, skincare is a topic that can get a little tricky, especially when certain products start to trend. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been guilty of succumbing to a viral product only to be disappointed when it didn’t exactly work for my skin. While following trends for clothes and makeup can be an easier feat, with skincare, it’s crucial to be cautious because what works for others may not work for you, and some products may seem like they’re working but can actually cause damage and irritation later on. It’s important to pay close attention to the ingredients before purchasing a product and to consult an expert if possible, especially if you’re facing specific skin concerns. Since I’ve been seeing quite a few products circulate around social media that have…

March 24, 2022 at 08:00AM As beauty editors, we know that you have a hard time taking our recommendations seriously. Not because you don’t want to believe us but because of everything you have likely learned of beauty journalism. When I posted a Q&A on Instagram a few months ago, I was totally taken aback by how many people asked me what products I actually like. It would seem as though our content on social media is deemed somewhat more authentic than the online stories we write for our day jobs.And this got me thinking. In order to truly convince you that we really do believe every ounce of what we preach, I’d let you go where no one has gone before, lifting the curtain on exactly what we beauty editors talk about behind closed doors, from skincare to makeup. After all, what more relevant beauty tips…
