The Best Celebrity Street Style of 2021

December 30, 2021 at 02:00PM 2021 has proven itself to be an explosive year for street style. A taste of normalcy (whatever that means now) has driven us to dress more freely and unapologetically than ever — if only for brief moments here and there. Could it have been an ardent longing to express ourselves through style in the wake of the turbulent year we left behind, and the equally uncertain future that lay ahead? Or perhaps, the nostalgic desire to participate in the return of trends gone by, from monogram mania to kitschy Y2K fashion? Whatever the reason, we’ve embraced the opportunity to step up our street style in 2021 — and so have our favourite fashion icons. With eye-catching looks from runway models to major pop stars, each season of this past year was full of fashion to be remembered. Below,…

This Balm Is Over 90 Years Old, and Everyone I Know Still Loves It

December 30, 2021 at 08:00AM Although it was launched way back in 1930, Elizabeth Arden’s Eight Hour Cream remains a must-have beauty product amongst makeup artists, celebrities and stylish people alike. The packaging might have changed over the years, with limited-edition releases continuing to go down a storm with Arden devotees, but there’s no doubt that this apricot-coloured balm remains continually popular. In fact, a tube is sold every 30 seconds worldwide. So after more than 90 years in existence, what exactly has enabled this unassuming product to stand the test of time? Created by Elizabeth Arden herself, the balm is a blend of vitamin E and petrolatum that was specially created to soothe the skin of clients at her Red Door salon in New York. In line with Arden’s ethos on all things beauty, it was specially formulated to actually do good to the skin—healing…

30 Zara, H&M and Mango Items That Are Chic and Warm and Look Premium

December 30, 2021 at 08:00AM Suddenly, it feels like winter. Gone are the days when I could quickly nip out of the house without a jacket or a considerable amount of knitwear, and it’s time my puffer coat was taken out of storage to be put back into work. It’s not technically “winter” until December 21, but many of us in the team are eagerly counting down the days until it’s appropriate to wear our Arket beanies once more. My boot collection has been finally unboxed again, ready for action. The tights are on, the layers are piling up, and I’m 100% here for it all. And while I’m not one to endlessly buy new items every time a season rolls around, I do enjoy looking at new-in winter items—a lot. It takes a great deal of research to find the best coat or chicest cold-weather dress. There…

Fashion Insiders Agree: This Staple Is the Key to Expensive-Looking Outfits

December 30, 2021 at 08:00AM People have many different opinions when it comes to style, but here’s one of the universal truths: Everyone wants their outfits to look expensive. Shopping for frugal items is one thing, but actually looking like you’re wearing something cheap is another, which is why you may have noticed that I talk about deceptively inexpensive basics ad nauseam. Going for minimalist separates is a tried-and-true approach to achieving this goal, but I found another one, courtesy of my feed—faux leather.Of course, it’s a given that genuine leather can instantly level up any outfit, but its faux sibling has come a long way since its stiff, plasticky-looking days. The real thing can be pricey, but with so many high-quality faux-leather and vegan-leather options (I love Nanushka) that feel just as soft and luxurious, who needs it anyway? This is why leather alternatives have become a stylish shortcut to achieving an…

These Colour Combinations Will Make You Look Expensive Every Time

December 30, 2021 at 06:00AM You know we’re big supporters of a top-to-toe tonal look. It’s a sure fire way to look put-together, whether you’re sporting a chic co-ord or different shades of cream and white, for example. But that doesn’t mean you can’t look equally as premium in an array of colours. In fact, because it’s often more difficult to put together and pull off colour, if you get it right the results can be even more impressive. The hard part is knowing which colours work together and which ones, well, don’t. Unfortunately, the rules don’t always make sense which makes figuring out the right colour pairings even harder. Just think about that traditional adage ‘pink and green should never be seen’, and we all know that’s not true. Usually there’s just ‘something’ about it that works when you put on a winning colour…

Get Ready To See These New Street Style Trends All the Time

December 30, 2021 at 06:00AM If there’s one way to get a read on what we’ll actually want to be wearing next season, it’s by examining the street style trends of the previous fashion month. Yes, what comes down the catwalks is important too; but often it’s what’s happening outside the shows that carries more influence. Especially on our day to day wardrobes— there’s something about seeing real people styling trends for real life (okay fashion week, but still) that makes them seem much easier to copy.The street style set— whether it’s editors, influencers, buyers or celebrities— have, for a while now, not just been following trends but setting them too. Some looks, we admit, can still be a little out there— but a lot of them are just elevated versions of everyday outfits. It’s often clever styling tricks, unexpected combinations or one hero…

My Highlights Have Never Looked Healthier Thanks to This Colour Conditioner

December 30, 2021 at 06:00AM This summer, I got my hair bleached lighter than I ever have before. While I’ve tentatively dipped my toe in hair lightening in years gone by, this time round, I went for a few levels brighter than my usual. For my balayage appointment in July, the base was blonde and then toned to a gorgeous warm light brunette. It was the perfect summer hue, and I was, and am still, obsessed with my look. However, it does take a lot of maintenance to upkeep not only the tone but also the colour itself. It’s a known fact that when you have your hair coloured you have to adjust your wash routine to protect the colour and maintain the integrity of your hair. I did this by swapping my regular moisturising shampoo-and-conditioner duo for a colour-protecting set and trying to be diligent…
