Friday Faves

Friday FavesFebruary 25, 2022 at 04:21PM Hi friends! Happy Friday! What do you have going on this weekend? It’s Rodeo Break – it’s an AZ thing – but we’re staying in town. Maisey got spayed yesterday (wahhhhhhhh) so we’re letting her rest and recover. If you have any tips, please send them my way! I ordered her this little recovery suit that she can wear instead of the cone.  When I carried her inside after picking her up, we snuggled on the couch for about an hour like this. Poor baby.  Some exciting news: my brother GOT MARRIED this week! Trevor went to Las Vegas with his girlfriend on 2/22/22 and they eloped! We celebrated at my mom’s house with lots of champagne and cake, and they’ll have a wedding reception/celebration next year. I’m so happy for them and absolutely love that they…

Kate Middleton Wore a Zara Blazer With 2022’s “It” Trouser Trend

February 25, 2022 at 08:40AM Who doesn’t love a good royal tour? Kate Middleton travelled to Denmark solo but then joined forces with Crown Princess Mary of Denmark in Copenhagen, offering double the royal fashion. The Duchess of Cambridge attended a variety of events, including a meeting at Amalienborg Palace. However, during her visit, there were two particular looks that stood out to us. First up was the look she wore to the Copenhagen Infant Mental Health Project at the University of Copenhagen. For the outing, Middleton looked sharp in a red tweed blazer and on-trend black wide-leg trousers, whilst carrying a cute patent top-handle bag. Alarm bells began going off in our heads—had we seen this blazer before? Yes, we had! And not just on Middleton, either. The Duchess had indeed worn it for an appearance last year, but the place we recognise it from is Zara’s rails.…

Looking at These 28 Blonde Bobs Made Me Cut My Hair

February 25, 2022 at 08:00AM Being experimental with your hair doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to go all-out with new hues, statement fringing or lashings of layers. Often, the simplest switches make the most impact. Right now, as our strands continue to grow without the prospect of a cut any time soon, it seems everyone is busy dreaming of and mood boarding potential styles to opt for once the salons are back up and running.And, with more time to ponder on and weigh up the pros of a dramatic change, I thought it might be worth sharing my recent experience in hope it might inspire some of you. You see, I recently chopped off my lengthy blonde hair to join the bob/long bob brigade. A few months back, after researching for a feature on blunt bob hairstyles, I convinced myself to go for the chop, which was masterfully created by…

Trust Me—These 31 Haircuts Are Seriously Low-Maintenance

February 25, 2022 at 08:00AM I cannot tell you the last time that my hair was at the forefront of my mind. Previously, “How should I wear my hair?” was the biggest question of my beauty routine, and now I feel like it’s fallen right to the bottom of my getting-dressed list.The thing is, while I want my hair to look like I’ve invested ample time in styling it, I don’t always have the minutes to spare. But my hair says so much about my current mood and the way that I want to present myself that I don’t want my two-minute style to scream “I really don’t care about my hair"—even if I did basically show my strands no love that morning.Luckily, via my ever-patient hairdresser, I sussed out a cut that is so low-maintenance that even when the biggest effort I make is running a brush through…

The Expensive-Looking Mango Coat Gigi, Alexa, Sienna and Katie All Own

February 25, 2022 at 08:00AM Alexa Chung is just one celebrity who has worn a specific Mango coat of late. Few things make the Who What Wear team speechless, but when we spotted not one, not two, not three, but fourstylish celebrities wearing the same Mango coat, for a moment, we were legitimately lost for words. Of course, celebrities wearing high-street isn’t a one-off phenomenon—those whose looks we’re going to break down today have certainly worn their fair share of affordable buys in their time. But seldom do we see several celebs all opt for the same piece and wear it within a matter of days of each other and for that piece to still be in stock in selected sizes by the time we put everything together. However, in this instance, the stars have aligned—and not just metaphorically. Gigi Hadid wears a Mango coat with split-hem leggings and…

I Spent Hours Trying On H&M’s Spring Collection—These Are the Pieces I Loved

February 25, 2022 at 06:36AM Ah, H&M—where to begin? Prior to working in fashion, H&M wasn’t a brand I regularly shopped. However, in the 11 years since I started analysing its wares more closely, I’ve become more and more impressed by the pieces H&M creates. Sure, sometimes it’s a little young for me—I steer clear from much of the Divided section for this exact reason—but the rest of H&M remains the affordable high-street hotspot I find some of my favourite pieces in. From premium-looking knitwear to elevated midi dresses, it’s the place I go when I need an easy fashion fix on a budget. This is why I like to particularly pay close attention to H&M when each new season rolls around. Although temperatures still may be on the chilly side, it certainly looks like spring is here. So, naturally, all I can think about is assembling…

Weddings Will Triumph This Year—These Are the 6 Makeup “Rules” to Know

February 25, 2022 at 06:30AM After two very trying years for the wedding industry, it looks as though (all fingers crossed) things are looking up this wedding season. In fact, our wedding schedules are looking busier than ever with invites flooding in thick and fast. You see, not only are we busy planning for the year’s normal number of weddings, but we’re also dealing with rescheduled dates from cancelled arrangements off the back of lockdowns and restrictions. And although full of love and joy, weddings can be stressful—especially when you’ve got one to attend every other weekend.

Trust Me, Beauty Editors Don’t Want You to Know About These 24 Perfumes

February 25, 2022 at 06:30AM Beauty editors love to talk about beauty. Obviously. But I’m not sure people fully understand the extent of our love for products. If you were to get a group of us together in a room, we could talk about beauty products for hours without coming up for breath. That’s why, whenever you drop us an email, DM or comment asking for some beauty advice, we’re typically all too pleased to dish the dirt.There does, however, appear to be one caveat to this statement. Over my many years of partaking in and observing conversations amongst beauty editors, I have come to realise that we tend to get a little flustered when it comes to talking perfume and fragrance. Not because it is a notoriously difficult topic to write about or because we don’t know our stuff, but because we get defensively…
