Skincare is a subject I take seriously, and when I meet individuals who have amazing skin, I’ll be the first to pick their brains on the ins and outs of their skincare routine. Most people would ask a new person they meet what they do for a living. I ask a new person how they’ve […]
The process of refining your wardrobe into a functioning, well-oiled machine is not one that happens overnight. It takes time to work out what items you actually wear, and often it will be the pieces you least expect. Someone once taught me a trick to turn all your clothes hangers the same way, then when you wear each […]
India wears a white midi dress by Free People. Us Brits like nothing more than to moan about the weather, and the high temperatures we’ve seen this month have made us all a bit, well, hot and bothered. The key to staying cool in a heatwave is a simple throw-on summer dress, that will look polished, […]
Ah, denim. Where would our wardrobes be without it? We dread to think. Still, however integral to our daily looks it may be, it’s still seldom makes an appearance on the high-fashion runways. At least that was considered to be the case, until a host of designers began giving it the ultimate seal of approval by incorporating […]
There’s no doubt that our style evolves as we get older. By the time you’re in your 40s, you know what pieces work for your lifestyle, career, body, and personal taste.

For some of us, digging out our denim collection has taken more persuasion this summer than ever. As we swing between comfy outfits and dressing for actual real-life events and occasions (remember those?), jeans have had to settle at the back of the closet. Until now, that is. Jean shorts are making it easier to step […]

And while age should have nothing to do with your style choices, we’re always interested in her fashion viewpoint specifically given her experience over the years building a well-rounded wardrobe. Today, we wanted to gain further insight into some […]
Let’s be clear about one thing when it comes to leggings: they’re either a smart item or something that’s incredible casual—there doesn’t seem to be an in between. Save that scary moment in 2004 when we all wore leggings under dresses with peep-toe shoes, leggings are really in one camp or the other. But that’s not […]
I like to think of myself as a bit of a jacket aficionado. It is probably the one category that makes up the biggest percentage of my wardrobe, and it’s the one item that never ceases to pique my interest no matter how many I own at any moment in time. This has meant that I have […]
I don’t bite my nails, and I take a bunch of great supplements, but for years, my nails basically didn’t grow at all. Okay, that’s a slight exaggeration—they did grow but only to a little way past the tip of my finger before they’d then break off. I dabbled in acrylics, but that left them feeling weaker than […]
