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 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 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.

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,…

December 07, 2021 at 06:30AM Of all the questions that I’m asked as a beauty editor, how to actually get rid of dark circles has to be up there as one of the most widespread enquiries. Dark circles are all-inclusive when it comes to who they target, from my teenage sister whose laid-back approach to studying often results in all-nighters spent at the library to my friend who has forgotten what sleep is since becoming a mum of three.Luckily, there are things that you can do to combat dark under-eye circles if they are bothering you—and one of the simplest places to start is with a decent eye cream.Kate Kerr, skin expert and director of the Kate Kerr London Clinic, told me that there are two main ingredients to look out for when selecting the best eye cream for dark circles: “L-ascorbic acid, a potent form…

December 07, 2021 at 06:18AM Whether you have a penchant for pointed knee-highs or a crush on classic Chelseas, it’s fair to say there's more than enough to choose from when it comes to winter boots. While there will always be those time-tested designer labels that we can rely on for sturdy shoes, the last five or so years have seen the high street up its winter-boot game, with the likes of & Other Stories and M&S becoming a fashion editor’s secret weapon. Well, this season is no different, and we have the evidence to prove it. To bring you the best of the best, I asked round my fellow editors to find out which brands they always turn to for winning winter boots. The results were as eclectic as you’d expect, covering high-end offerings such as Paris Texas and Aeydē alongside high-street heroes like Russell &…

December 07, 2021 at 06:07AM As far as we’re concerned, no designer handbag collection is complete without the addition of a Saint Laurent bag. We believe them to be just as classic as Chanel, Hermès, Celine and Dior, and we think they deserve to be given just as much consideration if you’re fortunate enough to be contemplating a new designer handbag purchase. Founded in 1961, the French fashion house’s designs tapped into the utilitarianism which was embraced by many designers at the time by way of tailoring and heavier fabrications. Although they never served as a primary focus of the brand’s founder, Yves Saint Laurent, the bags he designed were approached with the same goal: to create items of quality, practicality and longevity.Today, under the creative direction of Anthony Vaccarello, Saint Laurent bags remain some of the most versatile you can find on the designer-arm-candy circuit.
