A Bottle of This Iconic Perfume Is Sold Every 30 Seconds—Here’s Why
No. 5 has been the fragrance of choice for many celebrities over the years, the most iconic being Marilyn Monroe, who famously stated that she wore nothing to bed except for the scent. Fast forward to the present, and Victoria Beckham, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Eva Mendes, Nicole Kidman, Jessica Alba, Claudia Schiffer, and Celine Dion are all reportedly fans. French women can’t get enough of it either. Legendary actress Catherine Deneuve once loaned her prowess as the face of the fragrance; a covetable role which has, just this year, been passed onto the incredibly chic Marion Cotillard ahead of the perfume’s 100th birthday in 2021. Its impressive fanbase aside, Chanel No. 5’s status is also reflective of the perfume’s quality; a highly sophisticated blend of ...
Heidi Klum Just Told Me Her Beauty Secrets, and I’m Kind of in Awe
If many years of being a beauty editor and interviewing some of the world’s most beautiful models has taught me one thing it’s this: Genetics count for a lot. So many times in my career have I sat down to quiz supermodels with buttery complexions, thick, luscious lengths and perfectly made-up faces on their beauty secrets and have come away with no real insights at all. Because the truth is, so much of it is down to genetics. In fact, one supermodel I spoke to a few years ago informed she simply washes her face with a splash of tap water in the morning and she’s good to go. More often than not, I would walk away feeling hard done by and wondering where I could be going wrong with my own beauty routine. It poses the question: How is it possible that all of these beautiful women th...
My Favourite Stylish Women Just Told Me What’s On Their Autumn Wishlists
As I type, the weather outside my window has gone from sunshine to torrential rain in less than an hour. It hasn’t been over 20 degrees in a week and I actually had to put the heating on this past Thursday. Granted, I do live in the north of England so you’ll forgive me then for what I’m about to say: I’m very much looking forward to autumn. Of course, with autumn comes some new wardrobe looks—I should caveat here that it doesn’t have to be new items, but rather a chance to style new outfits. For me, the colder months are great because you can transition a lot of your summer pieces by doing the thing that every fashion editor loves to talk about: layering. That said, there are always a few pieces that I like to invest in come the new season, nam...
I Just Found 19 Stylish Staples at Topshop
So what’s the secret to finding Topshop’s expensive-looking staples? I tend to keep an eye out for good fabrics and unusual silhouettes—think a sculptural sleeve or cool neckline. Obviously, you want your basics to fade into the background and act as a canvas for more statement items, but it’s these details that can fool people into thinking you’re decked out in designer. I also really rate the Topshop Boutique line for elevated basics, and this season, I’m all over its white tees and luxe joggers. (You know that anything you try on from this collection is going to feel premium.) All set? Scroll down to see and shop the Topshop staples that I’m loving this season.

I’m Secretly Excited for September So I Can Try This One Autumn Trend
I have spent the majority of this week researching autumn winter 2020 trends, and so have saved hundreds of images of catwalk looks that I think will impact how we get dressed over the next six months. There is one styling trick that is making me look forward to a drop in temperatures—even though I’m reluctant to actually admit this. Almost every major show on the schedule included blazers cinched in at the waist with a belt—either with a statement belt like the jewel-encrusted chains at Chanel or a skinny black leather belt that makes it a subtle accent to the look. At Prada the belts featured circular clasps and a prominent logo, and were used to play with proportions on the already oversized and boxy blazers. Nanushka’s belts ticked off another of the key trends f...
The One Accessory I Wear That Always Gets the Most Comments
After a 10-year hiatus, during which the teeny tiny frame reigned supreme, the super-sized ‘70s style has started to creep back into the public’s collective fashion consciousness. This is an accessory predicated on impact, and I am comfortable admitting that they are not the most ‘flattering’ style on me (yes, I have a small face) but, just like many items in my wardrobe, this is something I’m happy to sacrifice when an item is this fabulous. They’re big, bold, wonderfully throwback, and, to be quite honest, the one accessory that garners the most compliments, especially in a Zoom context. Like a statement shoe or OTT jewellery, ’70s sunnies are ideal for adding that extra something to an outfit. A short-slee...
If You Want to Make Your Beauty Routine More Sustainable, This Is a Good Start
But first, when we discuss sustainable beauty products, what do we actually mean? Typically, the term is used to describe products using environmentally-friendly formulations, ethical production practices or packaging methods and, for sustainable cosmetic products in particular, the use of natural ingredients produced from renewable raw materials. Thankfully, finding these products is getting easier, thanks to a host of brands that are already pushing towards a more sustainable and greener planet.

I Practically Collect Candles—Here Are the 8 Brands I’m Currently Burning
My friends and family always tell me that I’m notoriously difficult to buy gifts for, which I adamantly refute. Sure, I’m quite particular about what I bring into my home, the items I add to my wardrobe, and the products I allow into my beauty bag, but give me a pair of gold-toned, not too big, not too small, hoop earrings, a nude eyeshadow palette (matte pigments only, please), a puff-sleeve dress in off-white, or perhaps a scallop-edged plate, and I’m a happy, happy lady. Okay, so after rattling off what turns out to be a very precise wish list, perhaps I am difficult to buy for. I always tell my nearest and dearest not to worry about presents—I’d much rather spend time with loved ones, anyway. Often this falls on deaf ears, but, as it tur...
15 Looks That Prove Chunky Highlights Are the Coolest Hair Trend of 2020
When it comes to switching up my hairstyle, I can get a little shy. In fact, I’ve had the same hairstyle (long, bleached, centre-parted) for nearly 10 years. And what’s really quite funny is that despite the fact my hair has looked the same that whole time, the techniques I find myself asking the hairstylist for have varied drastically over the years. First I was asking for ombré, then balayage and now it tends to be something along the lines of “babylights but kind of balayage and don’t forget the root stretch, please?” Yep, navigating the world of hair colour can be quite the minefield. And frankly, I’m a little fed up of the same old, same old. Luckily, there’s a new hair colour trend on the block and it’s set to spice things up a little. That’s right, it’s the ’90s chun...
Every Celebrity I Follow Is Sticking to These Swimwear Trends
Celebrities really aren’t like us. And this is particularly evident by their options for where they spend their summer. While we’re blowing up hastily-purchased Argos paddling pools to cool off for the one hot day we get in the UK, they have olympic-sized pools in expertly-landscaped gardens. We be able to do a staycation but will, inevitably, have to socially-distance ourselves on a crammed beach. But the A-list can “make do” with sojourns on a yacht, where it’s easy to be two metres away from literally everyone in the world. I’m not complaining though, I absolutely need a bit of vicarious living right now and I urge celebrities to share more of their incredibly lavish vacations. Not only does this give me an opportunity to ogle their lux...
These Are the 4 Biggest Trainer Trends of 2020 So Far
At the end of 2019 I spoke to some leading trainer experts, including Diadora CEO, Enrico Polegato as well as Nia Jones, co-founder and creative director of new sustainable sneaker brand Good News, on what kind of sneakers we’d see everywhere in 2020. Before this year, trainer trends arguably fell in to one of two categories. Either they were very much on the “ugly” oversized sneaker side of things with the high street, as well as designers, continuing to push out bold-style trainers. Or, they fell into the more classic-style sneakers—Vejas sustainable trainers have been one of the shoes I spotted the most over 2019, with not only celebrities such as Emma Watson and Meghan Markle wearing them but a host of influencers.
