Jen and Ben Are Cruising Through Venice Looking Utterly Glorious

September 09, 2021 at 03:30PM Just when I was about to hit that mid-afternoon slump, along came Jen and Ben to save the day. Arriving in ultra-glamorous style to the Venice Film Festival, everyone’s favourite reunited couple took to the canals of this iconic Italian city in their finest garms—a white lace fit ‘n’ flare dress for J Lo, and, well, a standard black polo shirt for Ben—and canoodled in a luxe leather-clad speedboat. It was enough to send the paparazzi into a spin, and almost every frame of this fabulous journey was documented. I may be reading into things here, but white lace is rather bridal, isn’t it?Only a few days ago did J.Lo make yet another grand entrance into Italy for the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda show (you may recall her birthday trip at the end of July). Flanked by be-sequined gondoliers and the star…

The H&M Studio Collection Just Dropped—Here Are the 22 Pieces We Rate

September 09, 2021 at 09:20AM Readers, listen up, because H&M’s been at it again. Yep, that’s right the high-street mega store has created a whole new Studio line and this time it’s for Autumn/winter 2021. Much like the previous collections, this has a more directional approach than the mainline items.This season’s inspiration seems to come from ‘80s power dressing, so expect oversized shoulders, maximalist suiting and bold bright colours. Oranges, blues and browns are the predominant hues throughout but there are flashes of white too. Accessories are similarly bold, with oversized sunglasses, statement earrings and chunky diamantĂŠ necklaces. I also think there are also hints of a cool après-ski vibe thanks to the stirrup leggings and wrap-around sunnies.Ultimately though, these are pieces you’ll most likely want to wear when doing a more offbeat office look, thanks to the pinstripe trousers and corset and…

Angelina Jolie Wore the Trouser Trend That’s Fresher Than Cropped Skinny Pants

September 09, 2021 at 08:00AM Angelina Jolie’s outfits always catch our attention, but especially when she’s in Paris (because who doesn’t love to see what people wear in Paris?). Jolie was recently in the City of Lights with her kids wearing a characteristically chic outfit. She wore her signature neutral color palette, opting for a white T-shirt, tan accessories and the subject of this story: full-length wide-leg khaki pants. If trouser muses were a thing (and perhaps they are), Angelina Jolie would be at the top of the list. You may recall that Jolie recently wore wide-leg jeans to the airport, and the look basically went viral. Wide-leg, full-length pants are a staple of hers, and they’ve pretty much taken the place of cropped skinny trousers for the time being—just see Jennifer Lawrence, Kendall Jenner and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for confirmation. Scroll on to see how she expertly styled them…

I’ve Had Dark Circles All My Life, and These Are the Only Products That Work

September 09, 2021 at 08:00AM The topic of dark circles within the beauty industry is one that has frustrated me for as long as I can remember. You see, I came into this world sporting an impressive pair of purple rings underneath my eyes. I have spent most of my life batting off concerns from people that I look tired, drained and unwell. Honestly, I’m fine. It’s just my dark circles.For many, dark circles don’t come about because of lifestyle choices. Sure, things like dehydration, lack of sleep and a poor skincare routine can worsen the situation, but for people like me, dark circles are permanent fixtures. Elizabeth Hawkes, consultant ophthalmic and oculoplastic surgeon at the Cadogan Clinic, explains, “The term ‘dark circles’ is used to describe increased pigmentation of the under-eye and is a very common concern. The skin around the eye is unique. There…

Short Curly Hairstyles That Will Make You Rethink Your Long Hair

September 09, 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…

6 Easy Autumn Outfits I Can’t Wait to Wear

September 09, 2021 at 08:00AM If you’re still holding out for that second August heatwave, then you might want to look away now because I’m about to rain on your parade. (Quite literally—have you seen the weather outside?) I’ve always been drawn towards the enveloping silhouettes of autumn, partly because I can’t stand the sweaty logistics that come with heatwave dressing but also because there’s so much more creative potential in layering. I find that there’s only so much you can do with a summer dress.Autumn is a time to experiment with statement jackets, create unexpected pairings with blouses and jumpers and give your midi dresses an edge with chunky boots and equally chunky knits. So yes, it might only be July, but I’m already scouting out the cold-weather outfits that I plan on re-creating the moment the mercury drops.Many of my chosen looks centre on tailored hero pieces, such…

7 Cheap Anti-Ageing Moisturisers That Are Just as Good as These Expensive Ones

September 09, 2021 at 08:00AM Whatever your thoughts on anti-ageing as a term, there’s no denying that moisturisers, which are created to specifically tackle things like fine lines, pigmentation and dryness, can be incredibly expensive due to their potent ingredients and advanced formulations. And while I truly believe that ageing is a privilege we should fully embrace—wrinkles and all—it doesn’t mean that taking good care of our skin as we grow older should cost a small fortune.
