These Iconic Gucci Bags Will Always Be the Height of Chic

December 15, 2021 at 06:00AM It bags may come and go, but when buying a designer handbag and parting with such a significant amount of money, you want to be certain that it’s something that is truly deserving of the title of "investment piece.“ This is an item that you want to have by your side for years, if not decades. Yes, love is a big part of it, but this is also a purchase that requires a certain amount of research and consideration. There are certain heritage houses that are known to hold their value but that also create timeless, beautiful designs that ensure their key styles are continued for decades. Gucci is one of these very labels. Looking through a Gucci collection is like diving into an eclectic dressing-up box—you’re met with more crystals, bold colours, wacky prints and feathers than you’d see at an Elton John…

All My Favourite Party Buys Have This One Thing in Common

December 15, 2021 at 06:00AM Is there really anything more fabulous than feathers? It’s a rhetorical question because, of course, the answer is no. For me it always summons glittering visions of silver screen Hollywood starlets and the sort of unapologetically glamorous matriarchs who wear their diamonds to bed. Feathers are frivolous, yes, but they are also escapist, fun and guaranteed to put you in the party mood, whether you’re in a cocktail bar or lounging on the sofa.Fashion brands such as 16Arlington, The Sleeper and Taller Marmo have helped to bring feather-trimmed pieces into the mainstream over the last couple of years, and I have been a vocal supporter from the start. I wouldn’t exactly consider myself to be an extravagant dresser, but when it comes to party-wear I can’t resist a little bit of ‘extra’. For example, at my 30th birthday party a few weeks…

Spring/Summer 2022 Trends: The Only 17 Looks You Need to Know About

December 15, 2021 at 05:09AM I am so excited about S/S 22’s fashion trends. The overarching mood was one of real optimism, but where the previous season perhaps went into overdrive with the desire (desperation?) to get dressed up for even the most low-key of weekly grocery shops, the outlook for S/S 22 is that there is a time and place to be extra fabulous but still a strong demand and a necessity for easy, simple, luxurious, gorgeous clothes and outfits you can fling on in a hurry. There are places to go, people to see and the many ensembles to suit. So while on the one hand there’s a very clear shift towards revealing, ultra-sassy, cut-to-here-and-slashed-to-there kind of dressing, there’s also a very chic, understated antithesis at play. It speaks to a modern shopper’s whims and natural inclination to change one’s mind. Some days you might channel Rosie…

It’s Official: These Are the Best Winter Boots From Nordstrom

December 15, 2021 at 03:20AM Let’s be honest: the first official day of winter might not be for another week, but the weather outside is pretty frightful. So if you haven’t already, it’s about time you stock up on sweaters, insulating coats, and some winter boots. But can we chat about the latter for a second? Sure, winter boots might be designed to keep our feet warm and dry - as well as keep us from slipping on those inevitable slick spots - but they don’t have the most stylish reputation. (When you hear the phrase “winter boots,” you probably envision a clunky pair that’ll weigh you down.) But what if we told you it didn’t have to be that way? That’s where Nordstrom comes in. As the arbiter of cool, the retailer has something stylish for virtually every aspect of your life…

We’re Tangled Up in Marsai Martin’s Lace-Up Corset Skirt at the Spider-Man Premiere

December 15, 2021 at 02:15AM Marsai Martin deserves full credit for single-handedly curing my arachnophobia in her lace-up Dolce & Gabbana outfit at the Spider-Man: No Way Home world premiere. Wearing a look that beautifully complemented Zendaya’s slinky spiderweb slip dress, Marsai stepped onto the red carpet looking like an honorary Spider-Girl, and we’d definitely cast her in the next Marvel film. The outfit featured an extra-high-waisted corset miniskirt in a subtle black-and-red leopard print that gave off major Far From Home Spidey suit vibes. The skirt was layered over an oversized bomber jacket with puffed sleeves that covered Marsai’s hands like gloves, and we’re only a little bit suspicious that she had a secret superhero costume on underneath (just in case the world needs saving). Marsai added a few finishing touches to the outfit with a pair of Le Silla heels that…

Succession Has Mastered the Art of Quiet Luxury

December 14, 2021 at 11:04PM Succession wants you to believe it’s not a show about fashion. The HBO drama (its third season just ended) follows the dysfunctional Roy family, owners of the billion-dollar media conglomerate Waystar RoyCo, led by aging patriarch Logan Roy. A darkly comedic series about the fight for power in a fraught media empire, Succession poignantly portrays the pitfalls of inherited wealth. But between curse-laden sibling squabbles and heated investor calls, you may have wondered why these riches aren’t so obvious in the Roy family’s fashion choices. Photography Courtesy of HBOFan interest in the show’s wardrobe is undeniable, with an Instagram account dedicated to the characters’ outfits accumulating nearly 20,000 followers. This is not to say the Roys are particularly fashion-forward (how many plain black baseball caps does one family need?), but rather, the series’ style secret is about an…

December 14, 2021 at 10:21PM Anyone who has watched the original Gossip Girl knows that some of the best episodes were the holiday-themed ones. The Thanksgiving episodes were iconic, but there were handful of fun Christmas ones as well. There’s nothing like holidays in the city, after all. While we couldn’t get enough of all the drama that came with these episodes, we also obsessed over all the fashionable outfits. Who can forget all the incredible formal dresses during the annual Snowflake Ball? You can count us in for 2000s holiday looks.

Tom Holland Wore Heels to the Spider-man Premiere

December 14, 2021 at 09:57PM Tom Holland might be headlining Spider-man: No Way Home, but Zendaya has been the star of the red carpets. After a parade of web-slinging events, the CFDA Fashion Icon award winner has worn a slew of web-slinging-inspired outfits. First, the Alexander McQueen oversized blazer and tights, adorned with glittery spider accents. Next, she wore the understated Roberto Cavalli black gown, with reference to Spider-man’s arch-nemesis Doc Ock, in the back. And finally, this past week, the spider of all spider looks arrived: Zendaya’s sheer Maison Valentino dress. View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Valentino (@maisonvalentino) Of course, this is nothing new. Expecting Zendaya NOT to slay a movie premiere is like expecting Chanel NOT to create another tweed suit — it’s impossible. The real surprise of the night came from the superhero himself, Tom…
