I was wearing a feathered tank, velvet flares and seven different variations of chunky rings when Who What Wear’s Hannah approached me with a challenge – to sartorially strip things back for a week, and document my journey. ‘A maximalist, moi?’ I exclaimed. My partner guffawed, his eyes scanning my many shelves of bags, shoes […]
This year’s ‘micro trend‘ cohort can broadly be divided into two camps: On the one side there’s the artisanal charm of colourful stripes and contemporary patchworking. It’s ageless, delightfully quirky, and an aesthetic that has been embraced by countless up-and-coming designers. At the other end of the spectrum, it’s all about the noughties: We’re talking graphic letter print, sultry corset tops […]
Hands up if you have been scarred by a chopstick styler? The thinnest kind of wand is the most confusing tool to use because the finished result can vary from perfect loose waves to ’70s disco hair to tight coils, and the factors that lead to the end result are vast. So that’s why, when the […]
If you’re anything like me, your wardrobe consists mostly of varying shades of black, grey, white, and beige. Neutrals are neutrals because they go with everything, and what could possibly be wrong with that? But after watching runway collections drop their previously low-key colour palettes for vibrant, saturated hues—I’m looking at you Valentino, The Row, Chanel, and Prada—I’ve begun […]
A leather dog collar complete with a dangling silver heart, studded belt, black puddle trousers, and kohl eyeliner—lots and lots of kohl eyeliner. This was my uniform between the ages of 12 and 16, which I look back on fondly as my goth phase, where Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice served as my muse. Though I perhaps wasn’t as invested in […]
Is it just me, or is Rochelle Humes knocking it out of the park with her outfits at the moment? The multi-hyphenate talent has been filling in for Holly Willoughby on ITV’s This Morning of late, and I’m now finding myself waiting in anticipation to see what she’ll wear next. This is made all the more exciting as […]
I think foundation finish is one of the biggest points of difference that I have with my fellow beauty editors. It’s common amongst my peers to prefer a dewy, radiant finish for their base, if they even choose to wear one at all. It suits them, it just doesn’t tend to work for me thanks to […]
Although Jennifer Lopez is often dressed to the nines (she does have plenty of occasions to dress up for, after all), she’s also no stranger to a good loungewear look. Whether she opts for leggings, track pants, a matching set, or sweatpants, Lopez always looks completely put-together and stylish. This time, it was a joggers look that she mastered. […]
Whether you fancy yourself as a bit of a sporty spice, work from home or are a new mum and (like me) love the support you get from a pair of high-waisted leggings, activewear has been taking up a large chunk of space in our wardrobes for some time now, even long before Covid-related lockdowns […]
When you’ve been in a relationship for as long as I have (we’re talking 15 years), it’s not unusual for date nights to lose their sparkle, though, when I speak to my single friends about their upcoming dates, often, they too are less than enthused about prepping for them. Gone are the days, however, when “sexy” […]
