February 16, 2022 at 05:07PM There are many instantly recognisable Mulberry bag styles that make our hearts sing and have stood the test of time in our wardrobes. Alexa! Lily! Iris! Bayswater! You all still mean the world to us, and it’s precisely because of that enduring adoration that we are always interested in what the British heritage brand will deliver next. Mulberry’s bag ranges are at once classic, wearable and smart investments. They also spark joy and feel current, no matter the year. One such example of this leather-goods wizardry? The label’s latest launch, Softie.The clue to this bag’s charm and allure is in the name. The Softie family is full of cuddly, quilted and squishy creations that are begging to be embraced. They come in bright and bold colourways, such as cornflower blue or vibrant coral, as well as classic hues like…

February 16, 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 16, 2022 at 12:03PM There’s nothing that gets fashion editors’ hearts racing quite like an It shoe, and this season the fashion gods have delivered with what is sure to be 2022’s buzziest boot. Three words: Jimmy Choo x Mugler. This holy union of fashion collabs only dropped this week, but its designs have already been flying off the (digital) shelves. And we can certainly see why.There is one style in particular that has caught the imagination of the fashion crowd: With a striking mesh fabric that wraps around the foot, the boots come in both a calf-grazing fit and a dramatic thigh-high style, and are available in black and neon green. The boot’s nude (in two shades) stripes give a very cool illusion that makes it look like you’re barely wearing shoes at all. They’re essentially the ultimate ‘out-out’ shoe. Trend-setters Anna Vitiello and Tiffany Hsu have already snapped themselves in…

February 16, 2022 at 08:00AM Thin hair can be difficult to style. Trust me—I know. I’ve tried to make my naturally thin hair look thicker and fuller ever since I was in middle school and my mum let me get my hands on a hot tool. Since then, I’ve cycled through plenty of hairstyles, volumising products, and thickening techniques. Some have worked, but most haven’t. That’s okay. Somewhere along the way, I’ve learned to live and work with my naturally thin hair (sigh), and the style I choose to wear it in has a lot to do with that. For example, I’ve learned a slick-straight style doesn’t do my thin hair any favours, which is why I tend to go with tousled, textured waves instead. So yeah, I had my opinions on what hairstyles work best for my thin, medium-length hair, but I was wondering what experts…

February 16, 2022 at 08:00AM I rarely venture out of Manhattan, but this weekend, I took a trip with some friends upstate to do some apple picking and sale shopping (the perfect fall day). When we arrived at the mall, my heart soared as I saw so many people wearing and shopping the trends that I had predicted just one or two years ago. Since I tend to keep to quieter parts of New York City, I rarely come across such a large crowd, and my analytical fashion brain was doing its scanning. I felt reminded of the power of trend-spotting—it’s fun to watch something come down the runway and subsequently catch a glimpse of fashion insiders wearing it, and then finally being submerged in crowds dressed up in seemingly Jacquemus-inspired knits and Celine-level tailoring.My little weekend trip inspired me to come home to my fashion editor crystal ball and see…

February 16, 2022 at 08:00AM Personal style can be mastered at any age—there is no magic number or milestone birthday that can claim to be the pivotal point. Some lucky fashion lovers manage to find their signature look early on and hold onto it throughout their lives, adjusting and updating it ever so slightly to suit the changing times and trends. For others, understanding the outfits and clothes you feel most comfortable in can be a more arduous and experimental process.Whichever camp you reside in, there’s no denying that as you get older, your tastes and wardrobe needs change. For example, aged 33, I now realise that all of the cheaper, trend-ticking items I bought on the high street in my 20s haven’t stood up, so I’m endeavouring to buy less and buy better. My mum, who is in her 70s, is still…

February 16, 2022 at 08:00AM We’ve already talked about the prevalence of beloved notes like rose and vanilla in what feels like the majority of our favourite perfumes, and cosy sandalwood is another unanimous favourite. It manages to feel warm and woody, but it also possesses a creamy richness, which makes it the perfect base note for a wide range of fragrances—not just the sweet, spicy or musky types you might initially assume. Whether you’re already a fiend for sandalwood like us or are new to or unsure of the popular note, we’re going to go ahead and say adding a sandalwood perfume to your winter fragrance wardrobe is one of the best moves you can make this season (especially in the “you smell so good" compliment department). Thanks to its surprising versatility, we’re of the strong belief that the perfect warm and inviting sandalwood perfume exists for anyone who loves…
