“Hair is everything. We wish it wasn’t so we could actually think about something else occasionally, but it is. It’s the difference between a good day and a bad day.” Truer words were never spoken than in Fleabag’s speech to maligned hairdresser Anthony. But how do you avoid that bad hair day? As someone who’s […]
I’m going to make a bold claim: By creating a winter capsule wardrobe, I have genuinely managed to cut my time of getting ready in the mornings to just 30 minutes. For obvious reasons, this is great because I can maximise my time in a warm bed. Whether you’re staying home, heading to an office, […]
I’m quite happy to apply products with ingredients that I can’t pronounce or don’t understand to my face, but I always drew the line at ingesting them. I’d roll my eyes at the aisles of supplements in the organic supermarket and ignore my friends’ suggestions about their latest inner-beauty buys. Then, I started working with a […]
It’s hard to deny the power of the Olsen twins. Endlessly intriguing, Ashley and Mary-Kate have been in the spotlight since they were young yet still manage to capture the attention of the world (and, more specifically, the fashion industry) three decades later. Having created a veritable fashion empire with their brand The Row, which is […]
Scrolling through the many, many items on Net-a-Porter brings me so much joy. Luckily, it’s my job to do so, and every day I find myself scrolling through at least the new arrivals. What I really love about Net-a-Porter is how easy they make it to discover new trends and emerging designers. And you can almost guarantee […]
The fashion industry can place a lot of weight on newness, with a constant quest for the next It thing, the next big designer, and the trend we’ll be wearing in six, 12 or 18 months’ time. We are, however, slowly seeing a shift in how we think about shopping, with an emphasis on longevity […]
Let’s be straight here: There’s absolutely a time and place for fine jewellery (aka those future heirlooms that are purchased for a big birthday or presented in a little black box). But these aren’t necessarily the pieces you want to be wearing on the average working day sitting in front of a laptop screen. One […]
I have worn glasses since I was 17, so now at the age of 35, I’ve tipped over into the realm of having worn glasses for more years of my life than not. I have, of course, in that time worn plenty of different styles, but about four years ago, I discovered my perfect frames—black, thick […]
In the grand scheme of things, no, the world probably did not need a befrilled, metallic minidress with a matching ribbon-trimmed velvet cape in the midst of a pandemic. And yes, it’s safe to say that we won’t be seeing shoulder-padded lace maxis grace the aisles of your local Sainsbury’s any time soon. But is there something inexplicably appealing and just […]
If there ever comes a time when you find yourself underneath my bed, you’ll find two hair tool boxes. One filled to the brim with tongs that couldn’t hold a curl, rogue hair brush drying tools and hairdryers purchased on a whim that never lived up to my expectations. In summary, the box of disappointments. […]
