Before online shopping was even a thing, it was there for us for everything from school supplies to underwear and, of course, the all important winter coats and boots. There may now be a plethora of places to turn to for your new season wardrobe, but M&S has remained one of our favourite high street go-tos, and for good reason. Not only do we rely on it for the essentials now, in recent years the brand has stepped up its fashion game and provided us with some seriously stylish additions that boast both quality and good-looks. As a team, we’re not embarrassed to say we have a passion for scrolling through the M&S website, or popping into our local store on our lunch break to browse the new-in sections.

They’re An Investment— But These Are the Best Knee-High Boots I’ve Ever Tried

December 31, 2021 at 05:00AM It sometimes feels like you could spend forever searching for the perfect wardrobe items. The perfect white T-Shirt, the perfect pair of jeans, the perfect cashmere jumper… it can get exhausting. But when you find those pieces, and start building your ultimate capsule wardrobe— it seriously pays off. You end up with an edit of really special pieces you’ll wear forever, that make getting dressed every morning much easier. Some of those items can absolutely be found on the high street, like this Arket T-shirt, and some it’s worth investing in, to avoid having to buy twice (or more). Knee-high boots, I’m here to argue, are one of those things. Mainly because it’s important for them to be excellent quality in order to last, but also because they’re a perennial. They’re position in fashion’s most-wanted list may fluctuate depending…

Turns Out, Paris Is Actually Mindy Chen’s Runway

December 30, 2021 at 08:54PM It’s clear from the way Emily in Paris costume designer Marylin Fitoussi lights up when I mention Mindy Chen that she is the standout style star of season two. Gawk as you will at Emily’s bold print mixing, Julien’s vibrant pantsuits, and Camille’s chic brand of nonchalance, but there is no denying Mindy’s energy and presence on screen. Played by the talented Ashley Park, the role of Mindy relies heavily on her performances and, therefore, her performance outfits. They’re all a product of collaboration between Fitoussi and Park, who have loads of fun in their fittings. “We call her Sparkling Mindy or Sparkling Ashley,” Fitoussi told me, ready and willing to dish details on each and every memorable look - like that neon Oscar de la Renta dress she wears to Emily’s birthday party in episode three (it…

Ariana Grande recently wore the same dress and blazer, except in white. Stylist Maeve Reilly completed Lori’s look with strappy green stilettos and a shoulder bag with a chainlink strap.
