February 08, 2022 at 06:06AM Wedding season might traditionally fall in the summer months, but after years of rescheduled nuptials and diaries filling up quickly, wedding guest outfit planning is now pretty much a year-round activity. If you’re on the hunt for some amazing wedding-ready looks, let us narrow things down a little bit for you by sharing the brands that always deliver when it comes to beautiful, but comfortable, occasionwear.Our list includes some labels you’re likely to spot at any British wedding, such as Rixo and Self-Portrait. But we’ve also added some lesser-known names into the mix if you’re hoping to discover something new. This includes The Own Studio, which, despite technically catering to brides and bridesmaids, creates beautiful silk separates in plenty of elegant colours that you can also wear as a guest. We also love Franks and Omnes, two small London labels…

February 08, 2022 at 06:05AM I’m old enough to remember Y2K fashion the first time around. I can still vividly recall the cowl-neck black top I wore with my knee-length stonewash denim skirt and a choker for New Year’s Eve 1999. I loved that outfit at the time, and 14-year-old me was very happy about it, but I know there isn’t much from it I’d wear today. However, thanks to TikTok and the fact that the 2000s were 20 years ago, there is a current revival going on of everything related to Y2K fashion. According to a Stylight report, these turn-of-the-millennium trends are booming thanks to Gen Z discovering and showcasing them on TikTok. While I’m not keen to re-create much from my wardrobe from that era, there are plenty of other trends that still look good today.I delved into the archives to dig up some of the best celeb…

February 08, 2022 at 06:00AM Hi, I’m Emily and I’m a coat addict. If you try and argue with me that another clothing item does more to make outfits look amazing then we’ll probably be here a long time. As a stylist and fashion editor, a great coat has long been my secret weapon for impressing with my wardrobe, especially during work events like fashion month when the pressure is on to look our best. The thing is, you can be wearing the most simple pair of jeans and a t-shirt underneath— but add a great coat and you instantly have a ‘look’.This addiction to great outerwear also means I’m seriously picky when shopping for them. Because I count on coats so much, I’m a big believer in investing in fewer, really amazing styles you’ll reliably bring out year after year— which usually means I avoid the high street. But…

February 08, 2022 at 06:00AM When it comes to beauty, I use a variety of products at different price points within my routine. And from the CeraVe Cleansers I swear by, to the Palmer’s Cocoa Butter that holds precedent over most other body creams in my cupboard, I love an inexpensive product pick as much as a splurge. I really do have to love a pricey product for it to keep a place in my routine and for me to rave and recommend it, when there are so many excellent skincare products with a less hefty price-tag.So, I promise you reader these are the best expensive picks in my product stash, the product that I would immediately repurchase if they disappeared from my bathroom. You will not regret a penny spent on these wonderbuys.The texture of the balm is so dreamy. The jar is small but mighty;…

February 05, 2022 at 08:00AM While social media can be a hub for all things fashion and beauty, skincare is a topic that can get a little tricky, especially when certain products start to trend. I’d be lying if I said I haven’t been guilty of succumbing to a viral product only to be disappointed when it didn’t exactly work for my skin. While following trends for clothes and makeup can be an easier feat, with skincare, it’s crucial to be cautious because what works for others may not work for you, and some products may seem like they’re working but can actually cause damage and irritation later on. It’s important to pay close attention to the ingredients before purchasing a product and to consult an expert if possible, especially if you’re facing specific skin concerns. Since I’ve been seeing quite a few products circulate around social media that have…

February 05, 2022 at 08:00AM It’s no secret that the skin’s ageing process differs from person to person. While some people might start forming wrinkles in their late twenties, others might remain youthful and wrinkle-free until they hit 50. Skin ageing is a fact of life, and while genetics and lifestyle choices might delay the effects, at some point, it will catch up with you. And for most of us, this happens at some point in our forties. “Unless you’ve struggled with a specific skin condition like acne or psoriasis, during your twenties and thirties, you skin is likely to have been ticking along nicely, living off its own elasticity and hydration,” explains skincare specialist Jane Scrivner.So what exactly happens when we hit our forties? “It’s time to start replacing what your skin is losing during the ageing process. Your forties are the time to put…

February 05, 2022 at 08:00AM No one makes fast fashion look expensive quite like Kate Middleton, but after looking into the contents of the outfit she wore at her and Prince William’s first public outing of 2022, it’s clear that she’s outdone herself this time. For an official visit to the Foundling Museum in London, Middleton did what she does best—i.e., rewearing her favourite wardrobe items from affordable brands like Zara and the UK-based label Jigsaw. In addition to her sold-out blue coat from the latter brand, which she first wore in January 2020, Middleton grabbed a £20 black turtleneck jumper from Zara and a pair of matching Jigsaw trousers that just so happen to be majorly trendy right now. The high-waisted slacks are wide-leg and slightly long, allowing them to puddle around her pumps, which are from Emmy London. The style, often referred to as puddle trousers, has become a frequent street style sighting, popping up on…

February 05, 2022 at 08:00AM Leggings are a wardrobe staple we’re not sure we could ever live without. When you’re lounging or heading to a workout class, there’s really nothing else that comes close to them in terms of comfort and versatility—until now. It’s not that leggings are going anywhere, but there's a new athleisure trend emerging that may jeopardize their long-standing reign: activewear bodysuits.If the thought of wearing a bodysuit (and nothing layered over it) scares you, you’re not alone. It's a rather divisive trend, to say the least. But sure enough, the celebrity crowd has already taken to wearing bodysuits in place of their leggings. We recently spotted Jennifer Lopez and Alessandra Ambrosio—two celebs who are seemingly always en route to the gym and clad in leggings—testing out the trend. They both opted for the same bodysuit from Beyond Yoga, a black capri-length one-piece with a halter tank–style top.We’re well aware that…

February 05, 2022 at 08:00AM If I could live in any decade, it would hands down be the ‘70s—not because I find anything about the way of life particularly endearing, but rather I’m absolutely head over heels for the aesthetic. From flared jeans to supersized sunglasses, when it comes to '70s fashion, I’m all in.However, as a beauty editor, I feel somewhat inclined to say that the single best thing about the '70s was the hair. I’m so obsessed with '70s hairstyles, in fact, that I have rocked the same '70s-style, long, middle-parted mop for well over 10 years. But it’s not just super-long hair that really defined the decade. Everything from shaggy lengths and fringes to blunt bobs and picked-out afros have remained some of the most timeless hairstyles around. And next year, it’s looking as though '70s hair is going to be everywhere.Don’t believe me? Keep scrolling for 20 '70s-inspired hairstyles that will…
