February 20, 2022 at 06:05AM The truth is, you’ll struggle to find any stylish woman who hasn’t either a) tried out a throwback trend from the ‘90s, or b) still owns a original piece from this decade (of their own or passed down). An iconic year where Kate Moss’s slip dress made its mark and Julia Roberts made a case for baggy jeans, a white T-shirt and leather blazer, there are so many trends that have made their way back into our wardrobes. And one that’s stealing the show for yet another season is the shoulder bag.Be it the new Celine Ava model Kaia Gerber has been wearing with absolutely every outfit, or the Triomphe style that’s as popular as the matching Celine logo belt everyone has been wearing.

18 Of The Easiest Nail Designs You Can Totally Try At Home

February 20, 2022 at 06:00AM There are few things I love more than a trip to the nail salon. I love to leave it to the pros to care for and shape my nails while I just worry about what colour to go for next. However, after stumbling across a fair few easy nail art looks, I think I’m ready to try and emulate a few designs at-home.Designs like French tips and cute dots are pretty straightforward to replicate with a bit of patience and a very steady hand. Load up your nail tool kit if you don’t already have remover for pesky smudges and orange sticks to clean up the nail as tidily as possible. Here are the easiest designs that have inspired my DIY manicures lately.The base of this is bold but simple. Stick to a deep colour palette for the most impactful…

These 12 Affordable Perfumes Smell Really Expensive

February 20, 2022 at 06:00AM I always knew that I liked perfume, but it wasn’t until my last house move when my fragrances required an entire packing box that I realised how much I truly love it. Sure, I was able to part with a couple out-of-date bottles, but most of my stash felt too precious to cull. The thing about perfume is that it’s so personal. Scent is linked so closely to memory that even if you’ve only worn a fragrance a few times, you can evoke a past time and place with just one spritz.The problem? Perfume is expensive. Of all the products I’ve collected over the years, my fragrances are worth the most, and unfortunately, I have expensive taste in scents. Byredo, Tom Ford, Maison Margiela… Most of my favourite perfume brands will set you back around £100 for a bottle. Trust…

I Tried Every Product From The Ordinary—These Are the Ones I’d Recommend

February 20, 2022 at 05:00AM It was when I was singing the praises of a certain £6 product that had converted me to eye creams that I took the time to actually look at my bathroom beauty stash properly. Upon doing so, I realised just how many other products from the same brand had a permanent home in my skincare rotation.As I’ve mentioned previously, The Ordinary is an affordable beauty brand offering up high-performance formulations with ingredients at its core. Ask any beauty or skincare fanatic about the brand, and chances are they’ll have a couple of products in their bathroom cabinets.Admittedly, if you aren’t already clued about the ingredients you should be putting on your face, The Ordinary can feel a little overwhelming at first. But with a little research into your skin concerns and needs, it’s a great affordable beauty brand to get on board with.For…

10 Super-Effective Curling Mascaras If Your Lashes Are Stick-Straight

February 20, 2022 at 04:20AM If I could only wear one type of makeup product for the rest of my life, it would be mascara. It’s the first product I ever used, and it’s truly the one makeup item I’m most fanatical about. (I have a healthy collection of at least 50.)  That said, it’s truly a trick to find a mascara that can successfully curl and lift my long, stick-straight lashes. I love and appreciate the natural length I was born with, but with that blessing comes the curse of profoundly droop-prone fringe. So although I also love mascaras touting length, volume and definition, my main concern is always curl. And unfortunately, most mascaras I’ve tried over the years (even before I was a beauty editor) fall disastrously flat. There is some serious strategy when it comes to developing the best curling mascaras,…

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

February 19, 2022 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…
