February 20, 2022 at 06:05AM The truth is, you’ll struggle to find any stylish woman who hasn’t either a) tried out a throwback trend from the ‘90s, or b) still owns a original piece from this decade (of their own or passed down). An iconic year where Kate Moss’s slip dress made its mark and Julia Roberts made a case for baggy jeans, a white T-shirt and leather blazer, there are so many trends that have made their way back into our wardrobes. And one that’s stealing the show for yet another season is the shoulder bag.Be it the new Celine Ava model Kaia Gerber has been wearing with absolutely every outfit, or the Triomphe style that’s as popular as the matching Celine logo belt everyone has been wearing. It bag labels Manu Atelier and JW Pei have also created nod to the ‘90s bags…

February 20, 2022 at 06:01AM Four different seasons with four ever-changing sets of style trends can threaten to burn a hole in even the savviest shopper’s pocket. Well, fear not, because you have it on good authority (from, well, us) that this spring’s wardrobe reshuffle needn’t take more than nine carefully picked items. Yep, you can get your spring style entirely on point with items that you already have in your wardrobe. From the coat that defines the season to the trainers you’ll wear forever, these are the pieces you’ll need for your springtime capsule, and they all work beautifully together. Even better is you might own a lot of them already, so this will be a good opportunity to remind yourself of the pieces you might have forgotten about ahead of the season kicking into gear. It might still be winter, but it never hurst to prepare, right?Keep scrolling to see…

February 20, 2022 at 06:00AM There are few things I love more than a trip to the nail salon. I love to leave it to the pros to care for and shape my nails while I just worry about what colour to go for next. However, after stumbling across a fair few easy nail art looks, I think I’m ready to try and emulate a few designs at-home.Designs like French tips and cute dots are pretty straightforward to replicate with a bit of patience and a very steady hand. Load up your nail tool kit if you don’t already have remover for pesky smudges and orange sticks to clean up the nail as tidily as possible. Here are the easiest designs that have inspired my DIY manicures lately.The base of this is bold but simple. Stick to a deep colour palette for the most impactful…

February 20, 2022 at 06:00AM I always knew that I liked perfume, but it wasn’t until my last house move when my fragrances required an entire packing box that I realised how much I truly love it. Sure, I was able to part with a couple out-of-date bottles, but most of my stash felt too precious to cull. The thing about perfume is that it’s so personal. Scent is linked so closely to memory that even if you’ve only worn a fragrance a few times, you can evoke a past time and place with just one spritz.The problem? Perfume is expensive. Of all the products I’ve collected over the years, my fragrances are worth the most, and unfortunately, I have expensive taste in scents. Byredo, Tom Ford, Maison Margiela… Most of my favourite perfume brands will set you back around £100 for a bottle. Trust…

February 20, 2022 at 05:00AM It was when I was singing the praises of a certain £6 product that had converted me to eye creams that I took the time to actually look at my bathroom beauty stash properly. Upon doing so, I realised just how many other products from the same brand had a permanent home in my skincare rotation.As I’ve mentioned previously, The Ordinary is an affordable beauty brand offering up high-performance formulations with ingredients at its core. Ask any beauty or skincare fanatic about the brand, and chances are they’ll have a couple of products in their bathroom cabinets.Admittedly, if you aren’t already clued about the ingredients you should be putting on your face, The Ordinary can feel a little overwhelming at first. But with a little research into your skin concerns and needs, it’s a great affordable beauty brand to get on board with.For…

February 20, 2022 at 04:20AM If I could only wear one type of makeup product for the rest of my life, it would be mascara. It’s the first product I ever used, and it’s truly the one makeup item I’m most fanatical about. (I have a healthy collection of at least 50.)  That said, it’s truly a trick to find a mascara that can successfully curl and lift my long, stick-straight lashes. I love and appreciate the natural length I was born with, but with that blessing comes the curse of profoundly droop-prone fringe. So although I also love mascaras touting length, volume and definition, my main concern is always curl. And unfortunately, most mascaras I’ve tried over the years (even before I was a beauty editor) fall disastrously flat. There is some serious strategy when it comes to developing the best curling mascaras,…

February 19, 2022 at 12:00PM Calling all Brides-to-be, wedding guests-to-be and, well, anyone who hasn’t worn heels in a while (that covers most of us, right?). If you’ve been searching for a pretty but comfy pair of shoes to wear on your big day; or you’re still searching for that one pair of heels you can pull out time and time again for every event— then, look no further. Loeffler Randall’s beautiful pleated bow heels are the style every fashion editor, stylist and influencer recommend when you ask them to suggest a shoe that fits the above requirements. I would know, I’m a stylist and editor that’s been raving about these shoes to anyone who will listen since I first laid eyes on them some years ago! Back then, the Penny mule had just launched in a couple of metallic shades and it didn’t…
