When I look at teenagers today, I can’t help but feel like they’re missing out. Sure, most of them can do their hair better than I can, and with literally millions of makeup tutorials at their fingertips, they can absolutely apply, blend, and buff more innately than I ever could at their age. Still, I […]
But is it actually worth the money? This is the question that I am most frequently asked as a beauty editor. The answer, I’m afraid, is more often than not a complex one. You see, while some makeup products and topical skin treatments are priced with downright obscene markups, other products might totally justify a three-figure […]
Like taxes and jogging bottoms in lockdown, ankle boots come winter are a sure thing. This particular piece of footwear is a cornerstone of colder-weather wardrobes and for good reason. Choose carefully, and you’ll live in them for the whole of autumn and winter. Scratch that—you’ll wear them all year, even on those chilly spring and summer days. If you […]
In the world of beauty, nothing has stood the test of time quite like red lipstick. While our penchant for foundation finishes shifts between matte and dewy, and our preferred eye makeup alternates between natural, fluffy lashes, and bold, statement shadows, one thing that just about every beauty aficionado can agree on is that red […]
Although the internet would have you believe that millennials are only obsessed with buying plants and artisan coffees, we are (mostly) all grown up. It’ll come as no surprise, then, that when it comes to the beauty products we’re regularly purchasing, millennials are certainly “maturing.” Plenty of trend reports say we’re much more focused on skincare […]
If you were wondering where influencers are getting their winter shoes from this year, it feels like you’d be right 90% of the time if you guessed Dune. A long-time favourite of the British high street, the brand has impressed again this season. Never ones to miss out on a great affordable find, the fashion […]
Like most people currently living in tier 2 or tier 3, my weekend plans suddenly involve long winter walks, as there are varying restrictions on indoor activities. I love a long, blustering walk, but I wouldn’t typically choose to spend so much time outside in November. Whether you’re walking in Hampstead Heath, Hackney Marshes, or […]
With track-sole boots becoming virtually ubiquitous earlier this year, it was only a matter of time before the chunky-sole trend infiltrated other types of footwear. That’s why it hardly came as a surprise this season when we started seeing statement loafers launch across luxury and high-street brands. When it comes to designer brands, Prada has been one […]
When the weather begins to cool, there are certain switches we start to make. We find ourselves drawn to knitwear, pulling on opaque tights, and generally donning a darker colour palette. This transition, however, isn’t solely reserved for our wardrobes; in fact, one of the first things we change up in a new season is our nail […]
Layering jewellery is an art-form; one which, in our experience, takes time and patience to master. Over the years, we’ve likely spent hours standing in front of our bedroom mirrors, painstakingly trying on necklace upon necklace, ring upon ring, earring upon earring, in search of the perfect combination. It was tiring work, but thankfully, you needn’t put yourself […]
