September 10, 2021 at 08:00AM Katie Holmes, queen of low-key trends, just wore a high-key trend in a very low-key way. And this is why everyone is obsessed with what she wears. She doesn’t try too hard, yet she can pull off almost anything. The trend in question is cut-outs, and they’re wildly popular this summer. I basically shop for a living, and I come across cut-out pieces on practically every shopping site I peruse (of which there are many).While walking around NYC recently, as she often does, Holmes wore a crop top with a long white skirt with cut-outs at the waist (!) and her signature black leather Birkenstocks. Based on my Instagram, which includes many a fashion person wearing cut-out items these days, this outfit is sure to have plenty of fans. If you count yourself as one of them, scroll to shop…

September 10, 2021 at 08:00AM There are some shoe trends that become popular, peak, then go away for a decade or longer. Others only fade away for a few seasons before making a big comeback. Since the start of the year, we’ve been predicting another cowboy-boot craze, and it looks like that craze is finally upon us. We think this one could even be big enough to eclipse the previous cowboy-boot craze of 2018. For starters, the A/W 21 runways of heavy hitters like Isabel Marant were overrun with cowboy boots. Retailers’ new arrivals also include tons of cowboy boots at various price points. And very influential celebs like Kendall Jenner are already wearing them amidst the dog days of summer.Jenner was recently photographed out in Malibu wearing loose, cream-coloured jeans, a cropped tank top and two-tone, vintage Western boots. We love the idea of wearing cowboy boots under loose jeans—a change from previous seasons when they…

September 10, 2021 at 08:00AM I don’t know about you, but the past year has felt long. I’ve got more grey hair and more wrinkles, and despite going to bed earlier, I’m still tired. There’s no denying that I’ve felt like I’ve aged faster in lockdown. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with this (I have no issues with changing hair colour or a few lines on my face), the speed at which it has happened has been a little disconcerting. I want to feel like myself again, and for me, that means getting a haircut. Over the past few months, I’ve lost count of the number of people who have said their hair needs cutting, from my husband to my colleagues as well as my parents. The craving to get a chop has been strong. Personally, I’m desperate to get my hair cut back into a…

September 10, 2021 at 08:00AM After a long year of not getting my hair cut, I'm more excited than ever to get back into the salon. Admittedly, I’m not the adventurous type, so I’ll be resurrecting my grown-out bangs, but you’ve come to the right place if you’re itching to try something new. It’s a truth universally acknowledged that French girls are the epitome of style, so why not take a little inspiration from chic Parisians? To get the scoop on French haircuts that are popular with L.A. girls like me, I tapped David Pierre, founder and creative director of The Hair Atelier in West Hollywood, California. The French transplant is knowledgeable about hair trends on both sides of the Atlantic, so I knew he’d be the best stylist to ask. Scroll down to see his expert opinion. “Curtain bangs or any sort of fringe, in general, will automatically…

September 10, 2021 at 06:30AM Woke up with an angry spot gracing your face? We’ve all been there. In fact, it serves as an important reminder that our skin is still working away overnight. Whether you arise first thing looking radiant and rested or dehydrated and exhausted, our skin has ways of making it clear to us that, during the eight hours of sleep we’re supposed to enjoy every night, it continues to function.But interestingly, the way it functions is different. “Our skin works very differently at night than it does in the morning,” says Anita Sturnham, MD, a GP specialising in dermatology and the founder of Decree skincare. And the good news is the changes our skin goes through at night are mostly universal, meaning there are actions that we can all take to prevent skin upset overnight and ensure we wake up glowing.“It’s important…

September 10, 2021 at 06:10AM Though boots are widely considered a year-round staple, they come into their own in the autumn months, helping to ease the pain of packing our sandals away until next spring. And now, as we find ourselves on the cusp of the season, new-in sections are filled to the brim with boots—specifically chunky knee-high boots.Track-sole boots began trending a couple of seasons back, with ankle-grazing styles becoming permanent fixtures on the feet of those in the know. Worn with everything from jeans and jumpers to midi dresses and tights, chunky boots have the ability to make every outfit you wear look cooler and directional, so it’s easy to see their appeal.Chunky knee-high boots are a big deal on the high-street fashion circuit this autumn. For 2021, chunky boots have been given an elongated upgrade, now stretching up to the knee to…
