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. There’s a confidence that lies in an over-40 woman’s wardrobe. You don’t force yourself to wear trends that don’t work for you, and by […]
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 […]
We routinely turn to Janet Gunn, the 58-year-old influencer behind The Grateful Gardenia, for sartorial guidance. 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 […]
Uterqüe is hardly a new label. Inditex, which owns Zara, created the sister brand and launched it back in 2008. It’s a firm UK fashion-editor favourite (even though it remains a relatively “insider” brand). Like Zara, Uterqüe creates trend-led pieces that look like they belong in a street style gallery. The label was initially focused on accessories, and […]
I always used to believe I was a shoe person, until I realised I also equally appreciate bags, and earrings and any other type of accessory going, to be honest. It’s safe to say, when it comes to getting dressed there are no shortage of options for that final flourish these days, but deciphering which new styles to […]
It seems crazy to think that just a few years ago, the high-street homeware scene was seriously lacking. Zara Home was still to go big here on Brit soil, and H&M’s offering barely reached past the token candle or rattan place setting. But now, thankfully, there are so many great homeware departments to explore in our favourite affordable shopping hot […]
