March 01, 2022 at 07:00AM If I had to pinpoint one pair of jeans my fellow editors and I rave about the most, it would probably be Weekday’s Rowe jeans. On the face of it they look like a pretty standard straight-leg style– so what is it that makes them so special? Well, the lesser-known high street label (from the same family as H&M and Arket), has really honed its denim offering recently, with every pair, including these, now made from organic and recycled cotton— an impressive starting point. The thought out designs with modern cuts could easily pass for designer, and the denim feels classic and rigid in the same way your favourite pair of vintage Levi’s does. So far, so good. The Rowe in particular have a straight-leg shape that’s a little looser than your average, and a little higher in the waist making…

March 01, 2022 at 06:32AM Okay, we’re officially confused about the weather. One second it's sub-zero with sleet, and the next it’s balmy 15-degree sunshine. Seriously, Britain—make up your mind. But of course, this is the nature of spring, and every year we manage to power through the meteorological mayhem and make it to the other side where summer awaits. It’ll happen. We promise.So when it comes to deciding what to wear this March, we’re taking a tentative—but no less stylish—approach and offering up a slew of simple outfits that can easily be layered up or dressed down according to your needs. For example, fashion influencer Fran perfectly adapts a spring-ready leather skirt for unexpected wind chill with a printed cardigan and knee-high boots. For a smarter spin, we’re looking to Brittany Bathgate, who layers up a pleated midi (another spring staple) with a wool workwear jacket.The secret…

March 01, 2022 at 06:30AM If I could be any animal, I would without a doubt be a hermit crab. Much like the solitude crustacean, I too find great joy in curling up at home and, if I had the chance, would love to live permanently in such a state. Sadly for me, my job as a beauty editor requires quite a lot of running around from appointment to appointment, and so it’s not very often I find myself with masses of time at home.However, it’s because of this that I have developed a penchant for buying items that really level up my time at home. More specifically, I have become somewhat obsessed with buying and collecting luxury scented candles. The first thing I do when I get home is light a candle. I want my entire flat to be filled with a luxurious, mind-soothing…

March 01, 2022 at 06:30AM I have always considered myself to be a no-makeup-makeup sort of person. In fact, scrap that—I’m just a no-makeup person. If you ever catch me with a full face of makeup on, feel blessed. Most days, I roll out of bed, do my skincare routine, brush up my brows, slather some concealer on my dark circles, chuck on some lip balm and head out. Spending hours on my makeup is simply not a priority for me. I don’t enjoy doing it and, more often than not, I hate the way it makes me look.That’s not to say I hate makeup in general though. In fact, I’m quite obsessed with the glowy, natural-looking makeup I see all over Instagram and TikTok, but sadly my lack of makeup skills means said looks simply don’t translate on my own face. The key to a…

March 01, 2022 at 06:00AM It can be all too easy to fall into a high-street shopping rut, always returning to the same names and never branching out of your comfort zone. Personally, over the last few years, this has meant rarely venturing further than Arket, and while I will always return to the brand’s time-tested staples, spring 2022 has also ushered in a craving for something different. So I decided to cast my shopping net a little wider this season, exploring stores that I haven’t always given the attention they deserved. Jigsaw, ME + EM and Whistles, you’re up. I already own pieces from Jigsaw and Whistles and very much rate their quality, time-tested designs, but ME + EM is a newer entity, and while I knew fellow fashion editors have always raved about the brand’s trousers, I wanted to check them out for myself. Unsurprisingly, this sartorial Holy Trinity…
