February 09, 2022 at 07:23AM Let’s be straight here: There’s absolutely a time and place for fine jewellery (aka those future heirlooms that are purchased for a big birthday or presented in a little black box). But these aren’t necessarily the pieces you want to be wearing on the average working day sitting in front of a laptop screen. One thing’s for sure: There’ll always be a space in our accessory arsenal for affordable jewellery that caters to our low-key fashion needs.I, for one, don’t subscribe to the idea that in order to look stylish you need to exclusively splash the cash on designer wares. I bought most of my jewellery on the high street, and it has happily served me for years. It’s all about keeping a beady eye out for a good piece or design that will stand the test of time and cater…

February 09, 2022 at 06:23AM Looking expensive—that’s always the goal. We’re guessing no one wakes up in the morning and proclaims that they want to look cheap, after all. And while I believe that you can achieve a rich-girl aesthetic on a budget, some pieces are worth investing in more premium iterations of. Items that are made to a higher standard and with quality fabrics will generally have a longer lifespan in your wardrobe. Choose wisely, and you could own these garments for the rest of your life.Identifying these items is key. The last thing I want you to do is frivolously spend without consideration. So with spring now imminent, I’ve spotlighted the pieces I think are worth spending a little extra on. I’ve whittled down an edit of core staples, from trenches to blazers, shoes to jeans, to carry you through the season ahead (and every…

February 09, 2022 at 06:22AM As chilly winter weather continues, I find myself questioning how to make each of my outfits as cosy as possible. Of course, the addition of a puffer jacket or a beanie hat can be helpful, and a cashmere scarf doesn’t go unappreciated, but on the footwear front, there always seems to be a lack of shoes that provide that warm, fuzzy feeling.However, recently, just about every major It girl has managed to find a solution to fill the cosy-shaped hole in my footwear rotation. Enter: Ugg boots. And in particular the new ultra mini style. Yes, the divisive shoes of the early aughts are back. And while there has been much debate about whether Ugg boots are in fact shoes—much like the debate that questions whether leggings can justifiably be worn as trousers—it is evident that in 2022, anything goes.Although some might think Uggs are…

February 09, 2022 at 06:02AM H&M is a go-to store for many out there—some of my best friends included. So when those in my inner circle ask for my recommendations on fresh staples that could be worthy additions to their wardrobes, I’ll often take some time to do an H&M deep dive. And that brings me to why I’m here today. On one of my recent scrolls, I uncovered a smattering of chic pieces that I deemed true winners because of their chic and versatile nature. And yep, said items each ring in under £50. You’ll find the edit of everything below. As a note, I sent the first four items to a friend who wanted to do a little clothing shopping. Included in the overall mix is everything from sharp tailoring silhouettes to cool denim cuts to my favourite shirting style. Keep scrolling for all that and more. A+ blazer.I’m just…

February 09, 2022 at 06:00AM For years, we’ve revelled in the ingredients boom there’s been in skincare. Now, I honestly only vaguely remember a time when I used max two products a day and had no idea what ingredients layered onto each other AM and PM, yet, now the start and end of my days are a little medley of the hottest skincare ingredients to grace any INCI list. While I have a growing obsession with skin my true love of beauty starts and ends with hair and one trend that I have notice gaining pace is the infusion of hot skincare ingredients making it into the haircare world. I, for one, am a huge fan.I’m forever raving about the importance of a healthy scalp. It’s key to hair growth and prevention of hair loss and can be burned or hit with skin conditions…

February 09, 2022 at 06:00AM There are some shopping categories that I’m pretty chilled about. Jewellery? I’m happy with simple gold hoops with every outfit. T-shirts? The more basic the better. But when it comes to interiors, I’m a picky individual. In my experience, the high street can be a tricky place for homeware. In some cases, it can yield some serious gems, but other times, it can underwhelm. But this week, H&M dropped three lamps that even I couldn’t help but fall in love with.As a big fan of mid-century design, I have been fangirling over the mushroom-lamp trend, so when I saw that H&M had delivered three styles in pale yellow, dusty blue and lilac, I was beyond excited. Two iterations have a more pointed dome and cone-shaped base, while the third offers a rounder silhouette. All three, however, could so easily be mistaken for designer buys, in my opinion. So…

February 09, 2022 at 06:00AM Let me preface this by saying that I have a very turbulent relationship with foundation. Any product that works to cover up all of the things that make skin look like yours is a big no-no if you ask me. And all too often, I find that so many foundations do just that. They leave skin looking flat, dull and void of life. Given the fact that every single aspect of my beauty routine is dedicated to brining out my inner glow, trying to find the perfect, natural-looking base that works to smooth and blur without totally repainting my complexion has proven tricky over the years. In fact, I’ve tried just about every foundation that’s ever come my way in a bid to find the most glowing, second-skin formula. It’s safe to say that it’s been a rough ride. Naturally,…

February 09, 2022 at 05:04AM We all want to look like our most-polished selves, don’t we? And although, sadly, I’m not here to provide you with a week at a spa and an endless allowance at The Row, I am here to bring you a treasure trove of the most expensive-looking pieces on the high street every week. It’s my mission to prove that you can find premium pieces to elevate your wardrobe without the designer price tag and to make it easy for you to pinpoint the items on the high street that are really worth adding to your wardrobe. There are some amazing gems out there that your friends won’t believe aren’t designer, but there’s a lot to sift through to find them. That’s where I come in—as a Who What Wear editor, scrolling new-in collections is my hobby, and I can spot an expensive-looking (and -feeling)…
