December 07, 2021 at 08:00AM I have spent the past six years growing my hair back to waist length after I had a funny five minutes and decided to chop it all off in 2015. If you’re the sort of person who changes their hair every week, this might not seem like a particularly big deal to you, but having super-long hair is kind of my thing, so cutting it off at my shoulders was a really bold move. And while I liked it at first, my hair is very fine, and I found the need for daily styling a bit of a fuss. Needless to say, the novelty of change soon wore off, and I became wholeheartedly committed to growing it again. Six long years later, I’m now back in my comfort zone with my hair brushing against my lower back. But finally having my strands back…

December 07, 2021 at 08:00AM There’s something about Tessa Thompson—an alchemy that, at the mere mention of her name, makes people start to swoon. And rightfully so. For all the heart eyes that surround her name, the woman IRL is proof that all the excitement is well worth it.While the rest of us have been trying to figure out how many books to prop our laptops on or buying ring lights for our monitors, Thompson effortlessly glows over Zoom. She looks the height of chic in a black top and an enviable slicked-back bun that would make an Eco Style Gel enthusiast weep. She’s lounged with the ease and warmth that we hope to get from an “aspirationally approachable” movie star. All of that combined makes the job of chatting about her latest film, Passing, that much easier.Adapted from the 1929 novel by Nella…

December 07, 2021 at 08:00AM Emily Ratajkowski’s and the Duchess of Cambridge’s style choices usually couldn’t be more different. However, this week, they both approached winter dressing in a very similar way. They were each seen wearing bright-pink tailored jackets. It’s not a colour typically associated with winter dressing but is a really uplifting choice. Both kept the focus on the jacket, pairing it with simple basics.Ratajkowski opted for black tights, a pair of knee-high boots and a black roll-neck, while the duchess wore a matching raspberry roll-neck and a pair of high-waisted black trousers. Keep scrolling to see their looks and shop pink tailoring, if you’re keen to replicate this winter styling idea.Next up, see our guide to the key trends for autumn and winter 2021.

December 07, 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…

December 07, 2021 at 08:00AM Over the years, I’ve accumulated quite a nice collection of lingerie, had multiple bra fittings and received quotes from some of the biggest experts in the industry on the dos and don'ts of lingerie across the board. Most of these rules are easy enough to follow, except for one (at least for me). During my most recent lingerie fitting for a story I wrote on what it’s like to wear lingerie sets for a week straight, the saleswoman assisting me told me that if I’m not storing my lingerie properly, I’m basically killing it, not getting my money’s worth, and so on and so forth.Instantly I switched into panic mode as I realised all my lingerie was currently stuffed in my drawer along with the rest of my five-for-£20 underwear and random assortment of sports bras. In other words,…
