I’m a Coat Obsessive—These Are the Ones I Want for Spring

February 27, 2022 at 06:05AM It’s safe to say that I’m a bit of a collector when it comes to fashion. Although the idea of a perfect capsule wardrobe is what I long for, in reality, I’ll probably always own multiple shoes in the same style and too many pairs of jeans. Then, there are coats. Shopping for a new style is something I look forward to each year, and now I have quite the collection I can pick and choose from.With springtime not just on the horizon, but, some days, well and truly here, I’m also thinking about raffia accessories and linen dresses. However, considering I live in the UK, it’s always about layering. I’ll forever pack an umbrella, sunglasses and a light jacket into the same tote bag (who knows what else is in the depths of said bag)—no matter the season.It’s…

I Just Tried On So Many H&M Jeans and Honestly, I Was Blown Away

February 27, 2022 at 06:00AM Good high street jeans are hard to find. Trust me, I’ve tried a lot of them. I’m what you would call a jeans person, and I daren’t even admit to you how many pairs I’ve accumulated over the years in my search for the *perfect* pair. In my opinion, you just can’t beat an outfit that consists of a crisp white shirt or T-shirt and a pair of classic jeans. It’s a timeless, versatile combination that, if you get just right, you can build upon over the years with other items from your closet, depending on the look you want to achieve.My collection does include some investment designer styles that I swear by, Re/Done’s stove pipe and AGOLDE’s popular pinch waist, for example. But I take particular pleasure in the challenge of finding really good jeans on the high street.…

I’m Picky With Jeans But I Can’t Stop Wearing This Straight-Leg Pair From Arket

February 27, 2022 at 06:00AM Since it first launched in the UK in 2017, Arket has become our go-to for classic, expensive-looking wardrobe staples. So much so, that we’re not sure where we shopped for our elevated basics before it reached our shores. From their cult puffer coat and sellout striped jumper to the ultimate blazer and perfect white T-shirt— we’re consistently impressed by their level of quality and design, as well as their commitments to sustainability (a lot of their pieces are now made using recycled or responsibly sourced materials). It should come as no surprise then, when we tell you that their denim offering is, in our opinion, some of the best on the high street as well.In particular there’s one style I’ve tried recently that I love so much and have been wearing on repeat. It’s the Regular Cropped Stretch Jean, and they’re such a…

February 27, 2022 at 04:00AM No one will deny that 2022 is Mary J. Blige’s year. After delivering a history-making performance in a glitzy ensemble at the Super Bowl, the pop culture icon just won outstanding supporting actress in a drama series during the 53rd NAACP Image Awards. Blige’s performance as Monet Tejada in Starz’s crime series “Power Book II: Ghost” earned her the second win in that category. Taking the stage to accept her well-deserved award, the 51-year-old singer stunned in a royal-purple gown. The dress is from Lebanese-Italian fashion designer Tony Ward’s fall 2021 couture collection, and it features an open front and sequin bandeau top. Ahead, appreciate the head-turning gown and soul-shaking performance.
