Meghan Markle Made Her First Public Appearance of 2021, and She Went Trend-Free

September 24, 2021 at 11:55AM I can’t believe this, but I’m writing my first Meghan Markle story in well over a year. It’s honestly making me nostalgic. I used to cover her looks on practically a weekly basis, and I’ve honestly missed it. Yesterday in New York, Meghan and Harry made their first in-person public appearance since leaving the UK. They made the cross-country trip for Global Citizen Live this weekend, and their first stop was One World Trade Center where they met with the city’s mayor and governor of the great state of New York.As a member of the royal family, Markle kept things pretty conservative, although she did dabble in trends from time to time. But today, she kept things as timeless as can be, opting for an autumn outfit consisting of a navy Giorgio Armani coat with a rollneck, trousers, and navy Aquazzura pumps. Even her hair and makeup…

This ÂŁ9 Product Is the Reason Celebrities Always Look So Glowy

September 24, 2021 at 08:00AM When it comes to this time of the year, it’s totally normal for skin to seem seriously dull. In fact, beyond looking a little lacklustre, it could possibly be feeling tight, dry and sore. If there’s one thing that the beauty world is certain of, it’s that cold weather is rarely good news for your complexion. And don’t I know it. Despite the fact the summer months had my skin radiating an out-of-this-world glow, the start of winter had me sporting a drab, lacklustre and seriously distressed face.At the start of the season, as I emptied out the contents of my makeup bag in the search for any kind of illuminating product to pour over my face/bathe in, I couldn’t help but wonder if my skin would ever get its glow back. Sure, I could slather my cheekbones…

The High-Street Cardigans to Have on Hand This September

September 24, 2021 at 08:00AM Out of all our knitwear options, cardigans arguably have the greatest nostalgic associations, and while they might remind us of our school days, 2021’s high-street iterations are anything but childish. The ideal throw-on layer for the changeable British late summer, I’ve been wearing mine when sat at my desk and in need of warming or an extra layer, or when the temperature drops in the evening.Two of the brands that top our AW21 wishlist are not designer offerings, but Arket and & Other Stories. Clearly, the high street is the place to be right now when it comes to cardigans. A bit of online research confirmed this, and let’s just say we now have a few new additions to our new season capsule. From Arket’s clean-lined styles and H&M's longline knits to Stories's ccolour pop hues and Mango’s cute checked iterations, scroll down to shop our favourite cardigans on the high street now.Cosy up…

Short Curly Hairstyles That Will Make You Rethink Your Long Hair

September 24, 2021 at 08:00AM In case you didn’t get the memo, when it comes to the latest hair trends, the shorter the cut the better. Lobs, bobs, and blunt cuts are seeing a lot of love lately, and many fashion influencers have been reaching for the scissors (or, you know, booking a hair appointment). For curly hair, the short-cut trend brings a lot of potential when it comes to revamping your style. A shorter length, cut above the chin, can give curly textures a lot of extra body and volume. The cut can be carefree and, if you fancy, give off “sexy bedhead” But as most curly-haired folks know, it can take some work to make your curls do as they’re told. Can short curly hair be low-maintenance? No matter your curl pattern, density, or face shape or whether you have loose waves or tight…

Hair Experts Reveal the Styles Women Over 50 Love

September 24, 2021 at 08:00AM When it comes to our body, time takes its toll on just about all of it. And although we know all too well what ageing does to our skin, when it comes to other areas of our beauty regimens, age is rarely factored in. From swapping in serums that tackle fine lines and wrinkles to acid treatments that work against age spots and pigmentation, products that cater to ageing skin seem to be everywhere. But what about our hair?It turns out that besides going grey, ageing can affect our hair in a number of ways. From thinning to dryness, the ways in which our hair deals with getting older means that as time goes by, we may need to change up our routine. And one of the most effective ways we can do that is by trying out…
