There’s a little trick that I think a lot of people are unaware of: If you’re smart when shopping on the high street, pretty much any piece can look designer. There are, of course, a few rules. Monochromatic outfits are a great way to look chic, but it’s always wise to check out the fabric […]
There’s no denying that nail art is fun, but there’s something effortlessly stylish about basic nail colours. Reds, nudes and navy blues might seem like obvious choices when you’re faced with a rainbow of options at the nail salon, but let’s face it: they’re classic shades for a reason.
