I’ve always had a complex relationship—or should I say situationship?—with hair straighteners. It was a coming-of-age ritual when my mum would pass a hot comb that had been heating up on a sweltering gas hob through my 4C natural hair. As I swapped hot combs for relaxers, I longed for the day when I could […]
Fringe-lovers, listen up. There’s no doubt that 2020 has been a turbulent year for the trusty fringe.

Looking to A-list beach outfits, barely-there bikinis are being embraced in a huge way. […]

But don’t toss that pair just yet. There are fortunately a handful of products that are designed to salvage your most beloved shoes. Breathe new […]

Even as a fashion editor, the process of scrolling through all the options can feel overwhelming, which is why as a team we have been keeping our eye out for the best bits around.

Love it or hate it, Black Friday week is here, bringing with it a slew of fashion brands trying to outbid each other in offering consumers the best discounts and deals.
