February 01, 2022 at 08:00AM I have to stress that what you’re about to read is down to personal preference; you might be busty or petite—or both!—and love wearing roll-necks. More power to you if this is the case. But based on my experience as a 5’3” woman with a 32G cup size, roll-necks aren’t the first thing I reach for when I want to feel my best. I can’t put my finger on it, but there’s something about the surplus fabric, which,  I think, makes my outfits look messy. I am, however, very into high necklines and knitwear in general. So what’s the solution? Mock-neck jumpers.Wearing my very, very well-worn & Other Stories mock neck jumper (£35). What is a mock-neck jumper? I hear you ask. Well, let’s start with what it’s not. A roll-neck (or a turtleneck, as they’re known in the U.S.) typically has…

February 01, 2022 at 07:00AM Gucci Horsebit BagBuying a designer bag is a big decision. In most cases it comes with a pretty hefty price-tag and so, more than anything, you want to make sure it’s a purchase you don’t regret. That’s why it’s always worth doing as much research as possible beforehand. There’s so many styles out there now and it can be hard, especially with the nature of It bags coming and going, to know which ones are truly worth your money. Well, that’s where I come in. Just think of me as your fairy bag-mother— here to advise you on the most classic, timeless designer bags that will go with everything, and continue to elevate all your outfits for years to come. I’ve been a stylist for almost a decade and so I’ve seen a lot of bags come and go. The 25…

February 01, 2022 at 06:33AM When you’ve been in a relationship for as long as I have (we’re talking 15 years), it’s not unusual for date nights to lose their sparkle, though, when I speak to my single friends about their upcoming dates, often, they too are less than enthused about prepping for them. Gone are the days, however, when “sexy” was the dress code to adhere to for date nights—whether it’s your first or fiftieth, it’s important that you stay true to yourself and wear an outfit that reflects who you are and your individual style.Still, no matter how self-assured you are, there’s always the conundrum about how fancy your outfit should be: Are jeans too casual? Will heels make me look overdressed? To help cover all of your date-night outfit needs, I’ve scoured the internet to find 11 impressive looks that’ll work…

February 01, 2022 at 06:30AM It’s fair to say that over the years, I have had a lot of products come my way. From £1 lipsticks to £400 eye creams, as a beauty editor, I have experienced first-hand some of the best and worst products that the industry has to offer. So while the products in my beauty cupboards at home are constantly on rotation, there are a number of (very special) products that hold a permanent spot—and a huge number of them are from The Body Shop.I know; it’s an odd thing to hear a beauty editor who is obsessed with a brand famed for its sweet-smelling body cream and teenage-dream musk perfume, but please hear me out. It’s no secret that when it comes to beauty, bodycare is my one true love—always has been, always will be. It’s easy to believe, therefore, that…

February 01, 2022 at 06:25AM Whether you fancy yourself as a bit of a sporty spice, work from home or are a new mum and (like me) love the support you get from a pair of high-waisted leggings, activewear has been taking up a large chunk of space in our wardrobes for some time now, even long before Covid-related lockdowns began.This has meant an increase in the number of brands designing activewear and a wider variety of styles. Long gone are the days of purely functional workout clothes with unflattering seams and eye-watering prints. The rise of stylish athleisure brands means replacing our favourite jeans with a pair of leggings has become the norm. There has also been a huge rise in eco-friendly brands investing in innovative manufacturing processes and fabrics as we all grow more aware of what we wear and how its made.…

February 01, 2022 at 06:16AM Although Jennifer Lopez is often dressed to the nines (she does have plenty of occasions to dress up for, after all), she’s also no stranger to a good loungewear look. Whether she opts for leggings, track pants, a matching set, or sweatpants, Lopez always looks completely put-together and stylish. This time, it was a joggers look that she mastered.There’s nothing new about people wearing sweatpants outside the house, especially over the past couple of years. We thought we’d covered every possible jogger outfit trend imaginable, but J.Lo just found another one, and it’s particularly fresh for 2022. The reason? She paired an oversize bomber jacket—from & Other Stories, no less—with her grey baggy sweats and Nike Air Jordans. You probably remember that bomber jackets were absolutely everywhere at one time, but did you know they’re a thing again? Only this time around, it’s oversize…

February 01, 2022 at 06:00AM I think foundation finish is one of the biggest points of difference that I have with my fellow beauty editors. It’s common amongst my peers to prefer a dewy, radiant finish for their base, if they even choose to wear one at all. It suits them, it just doesn’t tend to work for me thanks to my highly oily T-zone. No matter what my skincare routine is, or the time of year, or if I’m having an eczema flare-up, within a few hours of doing my makeup, I will always need to powder. So knowing this, a dewy foundation has never made sense for me as it increases the oily look that I’m blessed with. That’s why I prefer matte texture foundations.A matte finish means that my oiliness will be supressed for a little but longer, and when it…

February 01, 2022 at 05:59AM After perhaps the longest January on record, we’re all ready for the arrival of February. Ordinarily, February brings with it the excitement and buzz and sometimes bonkers outfits of fashion month, and we’re glad most shows will be back IRL this season. Most of us are already looking forward to spring so that we can wear the pretty colours, floaty dresses and chunky sandals that are tempting us in our favourite retailers' new-in sections. Still, February calls for ensembles that will help keep the lingering chill at bay, and striking a balance between springlike and cosy isn’t always easy—at least, it wouldn’t be without these ensembles at our disposal. Below, you’ll find nine outfits to try this February that’ll make you feel that spring is just around the corner but that’ll also ensure you won’t risk freezing. Keep scrolling to see these looks and, if they’re not…
