On Saturday, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris joined a long list of women to use fashion as a political statement. In her victory speech after becoming America’s first-ever female VP, she wore a head-to-toe white outfit that included a pantsuit by Carolina Herrera, a silk pussy-bow blouse by Tory Burch, and her signature pearl jewellery. (No, the fact […]
If I’m being totally honest, I have very few reasons to wear dresses right now. I spend my 9-to-5 working at a desk in my house and often wear loose-fitting trousers and a jumper and then I’ll change into a Bella Freud T-shirt that’s so worn it’s like a second skin, a pair of joggers and […]
I’m no Mystic Meg, but I’ve always prided myself in never being surprised by any of the trends we end up wearing. Part of my job is understanding how we’ll dress in the weeks, months, and years to come. But dear reader, 2020 is no ordinary year, and 2021 is likely to be much of the same. […]
Our love of dresses is well documented. From the frocks that flatter every shape to the high street’s hottest styles, we probably dedicate more article space to them than anything else. Why? Because they make life (read: getting ready in the morning) so much easier—just pop one on and go. However, now that the new season […]
We all know that feeling of information overload which can sometimes confront us when shopping online, and if you’re anything like us, our lockdown brains are craving less rather than more right now. Well, that’s where we come in. Zara’s new-in section is a classic case of “so many gems, so little time,” so we decided to harness […]
The most frequently asked questions I’ve had throughout my decade-long career as an editor have all revolved around concealer, which is handy considering I’m a concealer addict. Since my early teens, I’ve suffered from hereditary dark circles, circles that, no matter how much sleep I get or water I drink, insist upon staying. Over the years, […]
We have long been a nation of knitwear lovers, but it feels as though the home-dwelling days of 2020 have taken it up another notch. While we will always have a soft spot for a classic crew neck, it seems as though the cosy—and, more specifically, vintage-inspired—cardigan has led the autumn/winter jumper trend charge this year. Offering embroidered, cable-knitted, […]
If there’s one item of clothing that sums up 2020, it has to be, without a doubt, the face mask. As we’re now in lockdown 2.0, keeping our faces covered is more important than ever to help protect others around us. According to Gov.uk, a face covering is all that’s required, provided that it is secure […]
We don’t know about you but when shopping for autumn/winter 20 we’ve been trying to find pieces that we can enjoy now— that bring a little brightness to our days, but also, in part because most of our current time is spent inside, pieces that go beyond this season. We want pieces that will work […]
As a shopping editor, I spend a large proportion of my time scrolling through online stores, eagle-eyed and on the lookout for the best buys. As we’re a site that tries to cater to all needs (high-street, high-end and second-hand), I like to think that I have a pretty good idea of what constitutes a successful purchase. This […]
