February 13, 2022 at 06:23AM Whether you’re a pro on the slopes or your priority is raclette and fondue, there’s no disputing that getting dressed for the slopes is fun. I mean, it has to be, right? Before you even start skiing, the whole experience is exhausting. Just walking in those heavy boots is a week’s worth of squats, and that’s before you even try to carry your skis. But if there’s anything that will get me enthusiastic about an activity, it’s a cool wardrobe.That said, technical skiwear is an investment. After all, expert technology goes into developing each garment to ensure it’s warm, waterproof and durable at the same time, which is why it’s no surprise ski-clothing rental is one of the biggest areas of growth in the fashion rental market right now. Specialist site Blanqo recently launched with a concise edit of stylish…

February 14, 2022 at 08:00AM The skin around your eyes is very delicate and thin, so you want to be gentle with it. That means using the right products and avoiding rubbing, scratching, or pulling at the area. Because that area is so sensitive, you might also find yourself dealing with things like dark under-eye circles, dryness, and puffiness. The latter part is one thing I’ve been dealing with a lot lately, so I went to a dermatologist for some answers.In fact, puffy eyes are one of the most common concerns that patients bring to their dermatologists, says Kathleen S. Viscusi, MD, FAAD, FACMS, co-founder and partner at Dermatology and Surgery Specialists of North Atlanta (DESSNA). Treating puffy eyes is a bit more complicated than you would think. “Effectively addressing this concern for each patient is much more variable. Just as there isn’t…

February 14, 2022 at 08:00AM Over the past year, we have experienced somewhat of a nail frenzy. While makeup and hair used to give us our aesthetic kicks on Instagram, in 2021, we noticed a dramatic shift in the sorts of things the beauty set were paying attention to. Nails used to be considered beauty’s annoying little cousin that no one really wanted to play with. Doing our nails was a chore and nail art was reserved exclusively for in-salon acrylics.Nowadays, however, nails are king. We spend hours scrolling through Instagram, saving down all of the cutest nail ideas that come our way so that we can show them to our nail techs. And while nail trends used to be limited to simple shades and finishes, thanks to the internet and calibre of artistry out there, what we’re now dealing with is forward-thinking, super-creative styles that…

February 14, 2022 at 08:00AM Over the past few years, there has been a growing appreciation for classic items that are resistant to fickle trend cycles. There are a number of factors that have contributed to this shift, including the collective drive to create a more timeless, hard-wearing wardrobe in order to slow down our consumption combined with the pandemic, which means we are all wearing more practical and simpler outfits. Many of the cult buys for 2022 are actually items that have been hero purchases for decades and so will have a permanent place in your wardrobe. One item, in particular, that is selling out rapidly across the high street this month is monochrome striped jumpers. This is an item that will always be popular, and in particular, we love knits that combine cream and black and have an oversized fit. Celine is partly responsible for making…

February 14, 2022 at 07:33AM As one of the many celebrities who love Pilates and attend classes in L.A. multiple times a week, Hailey Bieber is often photographed going to and from her workouts wearing leggings. And naturally, her legging outfits are just as stylish as the rest of her enviable wardrobe.As we’ve pointed out numerous times before, Hailey Bieber is an excellent celebrity to follow for trend inspiration, as she often sets the trends (or at least becomes an early adopter of them). Take her recent legging outfit from a few days ago, for instance. Bieber paired her Alo leggings with a trendy pair of flatform sandals from celebrity-favorite brand Gia Borghini, coined the Gia 1 Slides. Since Gia Borghini came onto the scene, not a season has gone by in which at least one of her styles isn’t an It shoe. The Gia slides are new for spring…

February 14, 2022 at 08:00AM Platform boots have been back in our regular wardrobe rotation for a while now, and we’ve even had a warm weather version in platform flip flops. So it makes sense that something a little fancier would be next, especially since the comfort of the pandemic is now being exchanged for nights out again. A platform heel is, it turns out, the perfect transitional shoe to get us all used to dressing up again. But for 2022, it’s not the humble ‘70s platform that looks set for yet another comeback. It’s actually the stompy mary-jane that has caught the eye of the coolest girls around, and you can bet they’ll all be wearing them this year.In fact, many of our favourite fashion girls have been spotted in platform mary-jane heels already, from Camille Charriere to Susie Bubble and Lucy Williams (keep scrolling to see…

February 14, 2022 at 07:00AM I created What to Buy Now to bring you a concise weekly edit of the items I really love, including pieces from the high street, designer labels, vintage gems you can buy online and even charity-shop treasures. I’m constantly scanning the most stylish online stores, so you can feel safe knowing that you won’t miss a thing.I know that your fashion requirements can vary massively from season to season, whether you’re looking for an immaculately tailored staple, an affordable sundress or the perfect pair of shoes.

February 14, 2022 at 06:28AM A meal out presents the ideal opportunity to really dress up and unearth those fancier items from the back of your wardrobe. It seems this novelty isn’t wearing thin yet, either. Just last week, I saw people wearing their fanciest frocks to eat a burger in a pub—and why not? If you want a night out of your tracksuit bottoms and are ready to dress up for dinner (or breakfast, brunch or lunch!), below I’ve listed 13 outfit ideas that feel fabulous but not too OTT for a more casual reservation. While we’re still in winter territory and need layers to venture outside, spring outfit inspiration is already coming in thick and fast on Instagram. Keep scrolling for some restaurant-ready outfits to try for your next meal out, whether you’re going to Wagamama or The Ivy.Take the stress out of getting dressed—and keep all…

February 14, 2022 at 06:23AM It’s weird that I’m writing about a vase that looks like a butt, but these are weird times (oh, how I wish I didn’t have to write that sentence over and over), so why the hell not? The vase in question is a creation by designer Anissa Kermiche. It is quite the Instagram-influencer favourite. Both Monikh Dale and Pandora Sykes, who have impeccable taste when it comes to interiors, own one. While it’s the Love Handle vase that’s the most popular item, the designer also has a great candlestick and another vase named Breast Friend—no prizes for guessing what that’s based on. They come in an array of colours too with my personal favourite being the bold orange lacquered version. However, if you’re more a fan of a minimalist interior, there are plenty of white or black pieces. Ready to see the…
