January 27, 2022 at 11:36AM This week, the Duchess of Cambridge visited the offices of a charity called Shout, which is a text service in the UK that provides mental health support 24/7. Her appearance was to mark the milestone of reaching over one million conversations. How impressive is that? For the occasion, Kate Middleton wore a dress by Derek Lam along with suede boots by Ralph Lauren. Her outfit combo reminds me of Anna Wintour’s (and just about every other fashion editor’s_ very specific uniform: a printed midi dress and knee-high heeled boots. Wintour has worn countless variations of this combination, switching up details like sleeves, prints, and boot styles, though Middleton is no stranger to this formula either. She has chosen it for countless occasions and engagements in the past. With the approval of both Middleton and Wintour, it’s safe to say this is a foolproof outfit if…

January 27, 2022 at 09:58AM Don’t get us wrong. No one gets all dressed up quite like Gigi Hadid. For proof, count the runway appearances. Yet very few things make us happier than spotting the supermodel in a casual mood, dressed in the coolest, most effortless-looking off-duty outfits. Between leggings and Ugg boots, she always manages to make us see wardrobe items that we, too, often overlook in a totally new light. Such was the case on Tuesday when Hadid was photographed in New York City wearing an oversize polo-neck top with slouchy grey trousers and a pair of low-top Converse from the trainer brand’s recent, nearly sold-out collaboration with Moncler. Sure, she’s wearing a glorified groutfit (grey outfit in fashion speak), but that doesn’t make it any less chic and worthy of a copy—particularly when her trouser-and-shoe outfit solution is just as comfortable as the joggers and slippers we’ve become accustomed to wearing,…

January 27, 2022 at 09:00AM Getting dressed in the morning is hard enough in winter, even without being petite. It’s often still dark when we stand in front of our wardrobes searching for something to wear; you never know if it’s going to be freezing outside or oddly mild; and most of us are still experiencing the ‘working from home’ outfit rut. Now add to that the stress of being shorter than 5’3” in a world where most clothes are designed for 6ft, size 8 models… it’s tough, okay!As a petite fashion editor, having to search that little bit harder for outfits that work (and make friends with my local tailor) is something I’ve learnt to tackle my whole adult life. By now, though, I think I’ve managed to crack the code of where to find the best pieces that work for us shorter girls.…

January 27, 2022 at 08:00AM Being experimental with your hair doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to go all-out with new hues, statement fringing or lashings of layers. Often, the simplest switches make the most impact. Right now, as our strands continue to grow without the prospect of a cut any time soon, it seems everyone is busy dreaming of and mood boarding potential styles to opt for once the salons are back up and running.And, with more time to ponder on and weigh up the pros of a dramatic change, I thought it might be worth sharing my recent experience in hope it might inspire some of you. You see, I recently chopped off my lengthy blonde hair to join the bob/long bob brigade. A few months back, after researching for a feature on blunt bob hairstyles, I convinced myself to go for the chop, which was masterfully created by…

January 27, 2022 at 08:00AM Getting married in 2022? Congratulations! Your nuptials are officially this year. Now, either the thought of that fills you with excitement, or it fills you with mostly excitement, but also a little dread. Not because you’ve got cold feet (we hope not, anyway), but because you’ve still got lots of planning to do.Well, from someone who’s planned a wedding before let me tell you—try not to stress. I’m sure I’m not the first person to tell you to “enjoy the process,” but really, you only do it once and if anything goes wrong no one will even notice! (Probably.) If that advice doesn’t help calm your nerves in the slightest, hopefully, this guide to 2022’s biggest bridal trends will. And while you certainly don’t have to follow trends on your big day, they may just provide some inspiration for what's left on your…

January 27, 2022 at 08:00AM Skincare can be really expensive. In fact, I’m kind of fed up of tip-toeing around the fact that in so many cases, we’re all being painfully overcharged for certain skincare products. Brands know all too well the price that we’re willing to pay for great skin, and they’re not afraid to take advantage of it. However, as our skincare priorities have shifted, not only are brands charging obscene amounts of money for efficacious products, but they’re also driving up prices on products that look more aesthetically pleasing. As a result of this, it’s safe to say that when it comes to skincare, price does not always reflect quality.So when a no-frills product range comes along that doesn’t have a gimmicky name, doesn’t come housed in Instagram-worthy bottles and generally lacks fancies, it can be very easy for it…

January 27, 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…

January 27, 2022 at 06:40AM Continuing my eternal quest to dress more French-like, I’ve set my sights—as I know many of you have, too—on spring. Although we have a few weeks of winter still to get through, spring is very much on my mind right now as plans start to seep into my calendar and the promise of brighter, longer and warmer days begins to come into view.This year, I want to make sure I’m prepared for the seasonal switch, and naturally, I’ve turned my attention to ascertaining which pieces form a French girl’s spring capsule wardrobe. For this, I’ve taken a close look at the sartorial habits of some of my favourite French women, deep-diving into their respective feeds to see what they wear when spring rolls around, and it didn’t take long for some patterns to emerge.Now, I’m confident that the French woman’s spring capsule…
