Ahh the humble button-down shirt. Possibly the most versatile wardrobe staple you can buy, aside from maybe classic blue jeans. What a shirt does that jeans don’t, however, is make any outfit you pair it with look polished. Hands down, a classic shirt is the easiest basic you can buy to elevate your wardrobe, and […]
Makeup bags go through a lot. They house not only your carefully curated makeup collection but also your makeup brushes and eyelash curlers. The best makeup bags rise to the challenge, even if the odd eye shadow explodes inside. If you’re in the market for a new designer makeup bag, you’re in luck. We’ve spotted some very nice makeup […]
I definitely live for luxury goods—bags, shoes, coats—you name it. One thing I don’t usually spend a ton of money on, however, is nail polish. I normally rely solely on the salon to provide me with my colour of choice, but recently I decided to change that. There are a lot of luxury nail polish brands out there […]
Why is it that the older you get, the less time you seem to have to do, well, just about anything? I swear, in my twenties, I spent a good hour getting ready in the mornings, painting on my makeup with the precision of a master artist and pouring a considerable amount of effort into selecting […]
Lately, I’ve been trying to work out the perfect outfit to wear right now— you know, for this awkward transitional spring weather we’re having. I’ve tried knits and wide leg trousers, I’ve tried dresses with trainers and I’ve tried full on suits (I’m usually a big tailoring fan). But the pairing I keep coming back to again and again […]

When it comes to shopping on the high street, COS has a reputation for quality pieces and tailoring. The brand aesthetic is very much a take on elevated basics that can be interchanged effortlessly. Hailed as a contemporary-style label, it has an emphasis is on long-wearing styles to withstand the test of time. Few high-street retailers do […]
I know all trends are cyclical, but I never really thought about the day that I would see trends from my youth come back again in my 20s and 30s. The reemergence of the Y2K beauty trends we’re seeing now is an elevated version of the trends that we millennials wore in our pre-pubescent and teenage years. […]
Hands up: Who’s ready for a holiday? That’s everyone, then. With the sprinkling of warm-weather days we’ve been having, it’s no surprise we’re all getting excited for summer. Along with the BBQs, picnics and al fresco soirées, we’re most excited about updating our summer capsules with a few new everyday pieces. And when it comes […]
Roll up, roll up, for the greatest fashion show on earth is about to begin, and you have a front-row seat. Winter is a distant memory, and as we look to a brighter future in 2022—both literally and figuratively—now is the time to turn our collective attention to what I would argue is the most […]
