February 24, 2022 at 06:05AM Thanks to the magic of Instagram, we are able to transport ourselves across the world at the click of a button and see what fashion’s finest are wearing at any moment in time. When it comes to the stylish country stakes, we have to say that French women are up there in our top 10, with influencers such as Lena Farl and Jeanne Damas acting as constant sources of outfit inspiration and often introducing us to new French brands. With spring on the horizon, we decided to ask Marissa Cox (aka @ruerodier), about the dresses French women love to wear when the mercury rises.“Parisiennes prefer dresses that are a little more body-hugging to accentuate their figures over oversized and billowy,” Marissa explains. “For example a knitted bodycon or slip dress are slinky and silky styles that not only hug the body in all the right places but are also versatile…

February 24, 2022 at 06:08AM It seems counterintuitive to talk about engagement ring trends. After all, these are pieces of jewellery you’ll likely be wearing for a very, very long time, and the term “trend” feels all too flippant. But still, it would be remiss of me not to acknowledge that engagement ring preferences tend to ebb and flow. While they might not change as frequently as, perhaps, pieces of clothing, shoes or bags, new aesthetics do come into the engagement ring conversation from time to time, and it’s worth paying attention to them when they do. You never know; you might find something that feels more intrinsically “you” than, say, a classic solitaire. So, what are the top engagement ring trends for 2022, I hear you ask? Let’s get into it.I got engaged way back in 2013, so, suffice to say, I’ve fallen…

February 24, 2022 at 06:00AM Oh, spring. I don’t think we’ve ever been more desperate to welcome your arrival. My personal enthusiasm was evident when I spent the entirety of London Fashion Week freezing due to optimistically wearing light jackets, only to realise that February was, in fact, still very much in winter mode. But I have it under very good authority (i.e. the BBC weather app) that the new season is right around the corner, which means I can justifiably start planning my spring outfits—with a little help from NET-A-PORTER, of course.I am a firm believer in low-effort-maximum-impact outfits, and this approach was front of mind as I scrolled through NET-A-PORTER’s new-season edit. After 24 months of knitted trousers, it’s fair to say that I’m ready to embrace some personality pieces, but this needn’t be at the detriment of comfort and versatility.…

February 24, 2022 at 06:00AM Let’s face it, jeans are the most worn piece in the majority of our wardrobes. Especially at this transitional time of year when even dress people end up turning to their hero denim for a more covered up but still fresh outfit option. The best thing about them, and probably why we all rely on jeans so much, is that they’re so versatile; a classic that can be taken into each season and reinvented depending on what you wear them with. And since we’ve just hit that awkward time in the year when we’re not quite in the depths of winter anymore and definitely starting to look forward to spring, we thought it might be a good time to help jog your memory on some of the simplest, chicest ways to transform your favourite jeans from being your winter staples to your spring ones. We’ve whittled it down to 9 key items…

February 24, 2022 at 06:00AM When it comes to the women I look to for great skin inspiration, it turns out they all have one thing in common: They are all firmly in their 40s. While you might expect that celebrities and fashion girls in their 20s would be stepping out with the most glowing, youthful-looking skin, I’ve found that it’s actually 40-something celebrities like Drew Barrymore, Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss who have the kind of radiant complexions that I covet.Since turning 30, I’ve been stricter with my skincare routine than ever before—making changes to the products that I previously swore by and embracing ingredients like retinol to help retain some of that natural 20s glow. But what if it’s already too late to lay the foundation for great skin in my 40s?Thankfully, there’s one lady who I knew would have the…
