As a fashion editor, one of my absolute favourite things to do at the weekend (aside from brunch, of course), is to peruse the ‘Just In’ section at MATCHESFASHION. While I always drop in to see the new designer and everything that’s coming soon, it’s the Just In This Month edit that always seems to […]
Clean girl beauty is everywhere right now. Whether it’s clean girl makeup or clean-smelling fragrances, you’ve probably seen some interpretation of the trend. And what’s not to love? This minimal aesthetic is effortless, understated and very expensive. All adjectives we totally want to get on board with. Harriet Westmoreland used Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Ballerina for […]
There’s nothing like a good blow-dry. It’s the most confidence-boosting part of my beauty regimen. I have a pep in my step and suddenly find myself booking in to in-person meetings and pencilling plans that I’d been putting off. However, it’s taken me years to master the skill of doing them at home, and I […]
If you take one thing away from this story, let it be this: owning loads of skincare products doesn’t mean you’re guaranteed great skin. In fact, I’d go as far to say it will likely be making the state of your complexion worse. In my many years as an acne-suffering beauty editor, I have finally come to accept […]

These non-skinny jeans are a fashion-person favourite and bring a modern feel to any look. The style is also incredibly versatile. In reality, you could pair so many of […]
When it comes to transitioning into spring/summer dressing, there’s one wardrobe item that you can so easily switch out to instantly bring all your outfits up to date: shoes. That classic striped jumper, jeans and ankle boots look you haven’t taken off since February? Switch your tread-soles for a ballet flat or loafer and suddenly […]
At the risk of showing my age, the first time I can recall someone wearing trainers with a dress (and doing it well) was when Lily Allen the video for her debut single, Smile. I was 16 at the time, and, as I watched it on loop on the six or so music channels my TV […]
I’m always on the hunt for trousers that embrace the comfort of sweatpants with the style and sophistication of trousers. Spoiler alert – I found them. I live in the South of America, and it’s spring, so any clothing item with the word “sweat” in it is going on the back burner (with the exception being […]
When I first wrote this article on modest fashion back in March of 2019, Pinterest UK told me that searches for “modest fashion” were up 500% since the beginning of the year. Looking back, it wasn’t so much that modest fashion itself was being searched for more, but that the industry and audience was wising […]
Ask anyone that knows me and I’m sure they will all agree that I am what many would consider to be an over-sharer. Whether it be information, feelings, or material goods, I firmly believe in the old saying, ‘What’s mine is yours’. And while this mentality certainly has its pros and cons, it is a […]
