November 30, 2021 at 08:00AM Winter’s chill is soon to be upon us, but things are heating up in the trending hair-looks department. Typically, you would expect winter hair trends to favour darker hues, but this season, we’re finding that’s not totally the case. To make sure we conducted a very thorough investigation for what will be favoured this winter, we polled celebrity stylists to hear their thoughts on what their A-list clientele will be sporting for the colder months. They even clued us in on what products work best to score the look. Whether you’re in need of a chic new cut or colour inspo, take a peek below at what’s trending for winter in the hair department.Celebrity hairstylist and colorist Kiyah Wright (who styles celebs such as Jennifer Hudson) predicts that shades of golden blonde will be trending for the winter. “A lot of people like to stay…

November 30, 2021 at 06:42AM The arrival of the cold weather means it’s time to think about replenishing certain wardrobe items that see me through the next six months. There’s one thing, however, I never think to renew, and that’s my tights collection. Despite wearing them probably every other day over the colder months, when it comes to autumn, I always seem to settle for my years-old hosiery that looks and feels like it’s about to pop a hole every time I put it on. Shopping for tights is hardly enjoyable, right?The reality is, however, that I live in the UK, and having a good quality pair is essential all-year round (yes, even in summer). Well, not only are tights back on the radar as a fashion statement, but I’ve also tried on so many and can honestly say I think I’ve found the perfect pairs.To…

November 30, 2021 at 06:01AM Now that the weather has caught up with the current season (and then some), I only have one thing on my mind. Can you guess what it is? While knitwear wasn’t always an exciting product category to browse, now, that couldn’t be further from the truth—particularly this winter, when each retailer seems to have poured even more energy into its woolly offering. And just as well—after a sudden temperature drop and a storm that took out the olive tree I’ve been painstakingly growing for five years, I think it’s high time we put jumpers in the style spotlight, not only to look stylish in but also to help us reach peak toasty vibes. Jessica Skye wears a striped jumper from Totême.With endless shopping possibilities now at our fingertips, you might consider finding the best winter jumpers a challenge–one, if your to-do list is anything…

November 30, 2021 at 06:00AM Choosing a signature scent isn’t easy—trust me. I’ve spent years trialling hundreds of perfumes in a quest to find The One. From affordable spritzes to blow-the-budget blends, no perfume that I sprayed quite cut the mustard. Why? Because for years I was absolutely convinced that I didn’t want to smell like anyone else out there. I was adamant that I would never become the person who stopped someone on the street and asked what their perfume was because unless I’d discovered it for myself, I didn’t want it.However, many years (and a whole lot of beauty expertise) later, as I walked to meet a friend, a waft so fierce and feminine kissed my nose that my senses ran away from me, and I more or less chased a lady through a train station to ask her what perfume…

November 30, 2021 at 06:00AM Last winter saw a surge in sales of puffer coats, and we won’t be surprised if we see the same again this year. True, we’re not (currently) in any kind of lockdown, but British winters are pretty consistently cold. Not to mention that one of the biggest coat trends of autumn/winter 2021 is the puffer. I have been on my own hunt to find the perfect puffer coat over the past week, and after hours of trawling, I settled on Arket's maxi down coat, a style that comes with a history of being extra popular, even before the temperatures started to dip this October. Back in February 2020, the shopping search engine Lyst revealed that amongst the biggest-selling trophy pieces of the season (many of which were expensive and designer), Arket’s perfect puffer made it onto the top 10. With its simple cut,…

November 30, 2021 at 06:00AM December is busy, right? ‘Tis the season when everyone in your address book wants a festive catch up— and that’s on top of work parties and, of course, Christmas itself. It’s all nice things but our social lives can understandably get a little bit overwhelming at this time of year. Not only do we have to be our most sparkly selves, we also have to have a ton of cute outfits in the bank ready to take us from the office to the pub, to festivities and back home again. Unfortunately we can’t make witty conversation with your work crush for you but the outfits— that’s something we can help with. It’s our job to know the best places to turn to for winter dressing, and one of those is Karen Millen. Not only do they have such a vast…

November 30, 2021 at 06:00AM Why is it that we’re surprised by the arrival of winter every year? I mean, the sudden drop in temperature around November time is as predictable as Anna Wintour wearing sunglasses on the FROW, yet we exclaim at its coming all the same. If you’re like me, what typically ensues is a last-minute scrabble to find the winter coats that have lain dormant in your wardrobe for the last nine months and a hurried reacquainting with the art of layering. Well, as always, we’re here to give you a helping hand in the fashion department. Our first port of call? Winter basics.We all know that staples are an important part of a wardrobe, yet we find that during the colder months, having your foundations in place is more important than ever. It’s all about simple pairings: a chunky knit and straight-leg…
