Though this year we were forced to put our social lives on pause, it seems our love for beauty and skincare never wavered. Who could predict Zoom make-up would become a thing? And, let’s face it, now more than ever feels like a time to treat yourself to products that make you feel a little […]
There’s something so whimsical about the onset of autumn. The air becomes crisp and leaves turn to shades of yellow, orange and red, blanketing parks and sidewalk across the country. Oftentimes, the new seasonal collections mimic this comforting shade combination as these autumnal colours have become synonymous with the season. From cosy orange knits to […]
Many of our fashion rituals have fallen by the wayside this year; our collection of high heels has entered semi-retirement, and our fancy dresses have barely left their wardrobe sanctums. There is. However, one sartorial practice that we’ve outright refused to give up, even amid lockdown, and that’s wearing beautiful jewellery. Jewellery has the power […]
Eleven years ago, I went into a Salvation Army shop and found a blue-and-white check jacket that was the perfect thickness for autumn. Either worn over jeans or with a slip skirt, it’s a piece I’ve pull out of my wardrobe over and over ever since. What I’m saying is that when you buy a […]
If you were to ask my friends to describe me in a word, they’d probably say “perfectionist.” We perfectionists tend to get a bit of a bad rap but, as far as I’m concerned, being one it also has its perks. I’m in no way competitive with others, but I am with myself, and I […]
Every fashion buyer I have spoken to this year has said their approach to 2020 is to stick to classic basics and seasonal staples, such as boots and wear-forever outerwear. This shift towards timeless, seasonless items is one that we have seen for years, however now more than ever people are making considered purchases with sustainability […]
I’m a huge fan of ’70s fashion—the era created a host of trends that still stand up today, whether you realise they’re from that time or not. Think of our current obsession with bright over-the-knee boots, folk-inspired printed dresses, velvet and corduroy, boho blouses, midi skirts and so on. While the ’70s sweeps over the […]
In the grand scheme of things, the lack of new fashion images is hardly a big sacrifice in 2020, but I have to admit that I have missed the usual stream of red carpet, street style, and celebrity out-and-about images. While I long for the frivolity of the Met Gala and the Old Hollywood glamour of […]
There came a pivotal point during lockdown when I began a huge life purge (I’m certainly not the only one). My wardrobe and the dreaded cupboard under-the-stairs were subject to a crazed woman on a cleansing mission. I needed to own less and I wanted the things I own to serve me (it was very […]
A really great winter coat is hard to come by and therefore deserves a great coat-centric outfit to truly let it shine. Once you’ve got over the first hurdle of finally deciding which style to buy—whether it’s an on-trend vinyl trench or classic camel number—it’s then a case of styling it up to perfection. More […]
