4 Lessons I’ve Learned About Skincare Since Moving to Paris

December 13, 2021 at 06:30AM One thing I’ve been more exposed to since moving to Paris seven years ago—besides good wine, baguettes and French men—is great skincare and overall more respect for it. I’ve always looked after my skin, but that’s because my mother instilled in me the importance of a good beauty routine from a young age, and my knowledge came from her.While growing up and entering the workforce in the UK, I’ve generally found that, unless one works in an industry that has more emphasis on appearance or has a mother who had you cleansing, toning and moisturising early on (I even had the three-step Clinique products as a young teen), this hasn’t been the norm compared with the other side of the channel. It’s usually been me advising my British friends on what to use and buy or looking at their faces and telling them…

28 Last-Minute Gifts That Are Too Chic to Look Like an Afterthought

December 13, 2021 at 06:03AM Is it just us, or does it seem like two minutes ago since we opened the first door to our advent calendars? Now, we’re hurtling towards Christmas Day faster than we’d throw ourselves on the last pair of Manolo Blahniks at a sample sale, with only a small portion of our present shopping complete. You might think this would be the ideal time to panic, but we have another solution: Who What Wear UK’s Great Last-Minute Gift Guide. Instead of feeling guilty about the fact that you’re not quite as organised as you’d like to be at this stage (because, let’s face it, there are lots of other things going on), we’ve made finding those last-minute gifts so much easier by bringing all of the chicest things from your favourite (digital) stores, all into one place—directly below! What’s more, we’ve also had the…

These Party Pyjamas Are Just What We Need for Christmas 2021

December 13, 2021 at 06:05AM While our love for loungewear and comfy PJs continues, we’re all turning our attention to the styles we can wear on heavy rotation outside of the house, too.The brand Sleeper was founded in 2014 by former fashion editors Kate Zubarieva and Asya Varetsa, who wanted to make luxurious nightwear that you can wear at home or even to a party. The result is ĂĽber-glamorous pyjama sets which have feather trims on the hems of the trousers and the shirt.These Sleeper sets were particularly popular last festive season when parties were at home over Zoom, but the most sought-after party look has continued well into 2021. And we couldn’t be happier. Listed as one of the most popular items on Net-a-Porter right now, the pyjama sets have been yo-yoing in and out of stock all year. But there are so many new colours…

My Colour Palette Is Changing for 2022, and These 6 Shades Are In

December 13, 2021 at 06:03AM I don’t want to get ahead of myself—I know there’s still lots of mileage in winter yet—but try as I may, I can’t help but let my sartorial attention shift towards the new season and, dare I say, spring. Putting the “s” word to one side for a second, I do believe it’s important to keep your feet firmly planted in the present, but it does also pay to cast an eye on the future. Sometimes, seasons can change like the flick of a switch, and the last thing you’ll want is to feel caught out where your outfits are concerned. This is where colour plays an integral role.Nothing has the power to change the tone of your look quite like the colours you choose, and I feel like, as new-in sections start to blend between winter and spring,…

These Are the Miniskirt Outfits We’ll All Want to Wear in 2022

December 13, 2021 at 06:00AM If I had to pick one trend that dominated the S/S 22 runways, it would have to be the miniskirt. Firmly sidelined by the midi skirt’s calf-grazing lengths over the last eight years or so, the mini is seeing a resurgence across the board, with countless designers—from Prada to Proenza Schouler—introducing their own take on the ‘60s fashion icon.Prada’s iteration caused a particular stir amongst the fashion crowd, with Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons making a satin mini a core part of their summer line, pairing it with everything from chunky knits to leather biker jackets. They made this wardrobe classic feel fresh and exciting and certainly had me rushing to Vestiaire Collective to search for black miniskirts.While the nature of fashion month means that these items aren’t all available to buy now, I have no qualms about harnessing these runway looks as a source of…

The Winter Outfits We’re Ready to Start Wearing Now

December 13, 2021 at 05:58AM It can be all too easy when temperatures drop to a certain (read: icy) level to lean on the same outfits you have for the past few years, huddling up in grey, navy and black knitwear and the same black ankle boots. While you can’t beat a classic, if you’re looking for some new winter combinations, the likes of Grece Ghanem, Lucy Williams and more have been wearing a number of practical yet interesting looks you too will be able to wear on repeat until spring.Many of these key items you’ll already own, such as roll-necks and classic blazers, but you can make your winter wardrobe more 2021 with cream boots, teddy coats and leather trousers. Just because you have to make sensible choices doesn’t mean you have to spend the next three months in boring and unadventurous outfits. Keep scrolling to see…

Good News: These 30 Last-Minute Gifts From Nordstrom Will Actually Arrive in Time

December 13, 2021 at 12:05AM Not to stress you out or anything, but Christmas Day is less than two weeks away. (We know, wow.) And, thanks to the non-stop chatter about the supply chain issues, it’s very likely that those gifts you buy in the eleventh hour may not make it to your (or your loved one’s) doorstep in time. Translation? If you haven’t polished up your holiday shopping list, you’ll want to do so ASAP. Fortunately, Nordstrom is packed with excellent gifts that you can still add to your cart. (A fancy Dutch oven? Awesome headphones? A cool set of sheet masks? All of the above - and then some.) And, according to the e-tailer, it’s possible for these gifts to reach you before Christmas Day. (For good measure, check out Nordstrom’s best practices for pickups and deliveries.) But, hurry! The clock…

This Velvet Jacket Makes Me Feel Wrapped Up Like a Holiday Gift . . . and It’s Half Off!

December 12, 2021 at 11:00PM During the winter months, I love wearing luxe fabrics in rich jewel tons. That’s why I immediately had heart eyes for this Loft Velvet Utility Jacket ($140, plus 50 percent off with code JOY). It’s just as gorgeous in real life as it is online; my favorite detail is the satin ribbon used for the drawstring waist. With tons of pockets and incredibly soft velvet, this is quickly becoming my go-to jacket for December. I like that I can wear it with jeans, but it would also look great over a party outfit. Sizes are selling out very quickly right now because the piece is heavily marked down this week, so I would grab one while you can if you’re interested. I took a large, which is my usual size, and it fits just right. Fingers crossed more…
