Last week, I met someone for a work meeting and instantly knew they were an ARKET person. You can just tell. There’s something so put together yet effortless about the brand’s aesthetic that makes it instantly recognisable. With the innate power to translate seasonal trends in a way that keeps items current, but dateless, it’s all […]
I am obsessed with my natural hair texture. I love how voluminous it can look and how versatile it is to style but what I don’t always love is how tedious it can be to care for. When my hair was relaxed, years before I grew it out it was way less healthy but ultimately it was […]
Oh, London Fashion Week—you never fail to disappoint. As editors, influencers, models, stylists, and buyers made their way from show to show in what feels like the most “normal” Fashion Week since 2019, the streets of London became a sartorial showcase and made me realise just how much we’ve missed the spectacle. Of course, the […]
I consistently peruse Zara while doing market research for various stories. That said, I scroll through the dozens of pages and end up shopping a little bit for myself. I always make sure to share my great finds with my equally Zara-obsessed colleagues who, naturally, approve of my picks (and can often persuade me to hit purchase). However, I don’t […]
As someone with relatively thin, very fine hair, it’s safe to say that I have spent a huge amount of time looking for the perfect conditioner. You see, the problem with conditioner when you have fine hair is that using it can feel counterproductive. When it comes to shopping for hair products, I’m after formulas […]
Ask any fashion-loving person what we have on our shopping wish list, and we’ll likely mention at least one handbag. What can we say, we’re suckers for beautiful sidekicks. A few years ago, you could probably guarantee that that bag would come from one of the biggest designers— someone like Loewe, Gucci or Chloé; and sure, those super high-end bags still […]
Let’s be straight here: Fashion has never been good with plus-size clothing. Historically, the curve offering has been dismally small, and even when it was offered, often, the designs are hardly what you’d call fashionable. While we undoubtedly have a long way to go still, over the last few years, the choice of brands has definitely grown, with […]
‘Twas the night before London Fashion Week, and countless buyers and editors were just recovering from the sub-zero temperatures of New York, only to find themselves thrust into a ‘red weather warning’ courtesy of storm Eunice. Day 1 was certainly a bracing experience, and we’re feeling thankful that as we reach the penultimate day of LFW, the weather has […]
From hydrocolloid bandages becoming acne treatments to using “frozen moisturizer,” TikTok has become the top destination for discovering strange skincare trends. While the social media app might not be the birthplace of some of these beauty hacks, it’s become a platform where they can truly flourish. Case in point: skincare slugging. The oddly-named trend has reached […]
While our skin barrier is nothing new—we all have one after all—I reckon it might just be the beauty buzz term of 2022 so far. And for good reason: While understanding your skin type and chatting to the best dermatologists in the business can take you so far when it comes to achieving amazing skin, if you’re not […]
