With summer nearly upon us and summer holidays on my mind, I’ve been thinking a lot about what fashion will look like for the season ahead and the items that will end up in my suitcase. Looking to the fashion set, there are already a number of trends that have momentum behind them. Pieces like sporty […]
Growing up I took to thrifting as an Olympic sport, prying re-sale sites and rails of vintage and charity shops, for inspired one-off pieces. As I journeyed further into conscious shopping (and technology caught up), I discovered an array of labels beyond the high street names I was accustomed to and became enamoured with independent […]
Frankie Shop knows a thing or two about creating a cult wardrobe item. The brand, born in New York’s Lower East Side in 2014 by a Parisian founder (a power combo of cool to say the least), pretty much went viral from day one with its minimalist yet confident aesthetic that fashion people to this day […]
There are a few things I do every time I lie by the pool or go to the beach (after vigorously applying sunscreen): scrunch up my bikini bottoms to minimise tan lines, grip said bikini bottoms with both hands when exiting bodies of water such as the pool and ocean to prevent slippage, and take […]
While I love a statement lipstick shade, there is a certain about of beauty admin that comes with maintaining a bright red lip (I’m that girl with the lipstick on her teeth, always). Lipstick usually parches my lips too, so I’m always on the lookout for hydrating formulas that won’t dry them out. As someone who […]
There’s a lot to be joyful about this year. Many of us (myself included) will embark on our first abroad holiday in two years, weddings can resume without official restrictions, and gatherings can be held, well, just for the absolute fun of it. Throw in a milestone Jubilee the whole country will be celebrating, and this […]
As a lover of fashion, I have always dreamed about visiting Paris. The great food, amazing museums, and next-level fashion always seemed so romantic to me. Unfortunately, I have still never been to Paris, but that hasn’t stopped me from my growing obsession with the city transitioning into an obsession with Parisian street style. The French […]
I’m not saying The Row is entirely responsible for the minimal aesthetic that’s so popular right now— but it would be an understatement to say that they’ve had a pretty big influence on it. From a wider perspective, the fashion world has been moving towards a less trend-focused and more classic capsule approach for a while now, […]
After 15 years in fashion I have lived through many a pair of It jeans. Some I’ve invested in, some I’ve swerved, but while trends come and go, all of the biggest hitting denim buys have always had the same thing in common: they’re really easy to wear. That might sound obvious considering we’re talking about the […]
If I were to write a short list of clothing items that scare me, somewhere after super-tight dresses and before uncomfortable shoes and white jeans, you’d find white swimsuits. I don’t particularly love wearing swimsuits in the first place (but buy them anyway), so if you take a category that already makes me uncomfortable and choose […]
