These Are the 8 Most-Requested Nail Looks in Salons Right Now
If you’re yet to book your first salon visit of the summer, or you’re patiently waiting for your turn to come around, chances are you’ve spent the best part of the last week looking at manicure inspiration—because that’s what we’ve been doing, too. The excitement of seeing our favourite nail technicians once again is palpable, but with so many manicure and nail art options to choose from, we’re becoming a tad overwhelmed by the choice. So, ahead of our stint in the salon chair, we thought we’d use our time wisely to discover which nail looks are the most-requested in salons right now. We consulted with some of our salons to find out which nail and manicure styles are trending this summer, direct from those firmly in the k...
Everyone I Know With Amazing Skin Uses This One Scientific Product
The ingredient in question? Vitamin C. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C might not be anything new, but it’s certainly a bit of a wonder ingredient if you aren’t already using it. Found naturally in wide range of fruit and vegetables, it’s essential to help maintain a healthy complexion by protecting your skin cells and promoting healing. As someone with acne-prone skin, I started using a vitamin C serum daily when a facialist advised me that vitamin C is a great ingredient to use if you’re looking to fade pigmentation or dark spots caused by old spots. But I was interested to find out what other benefits this ingredient has to offer. After all, since using it regularly, I’ve noticed that my scarring has diminished and my complexi...
Trust Me, These Spot Treatments Actually Work
When it comes to my job, few things wind me up more than a product that gives wildly false claims. It shouldn’t be such a big ask that, as consumers, we aren’t lied to about the powers that any one beauty product has, should it? And, while things like “cellulite” and “face-lift” creams are the worst offenders for this, I find myself getting riled up over spot treatments the most. Unlike the aforementioned beauty products that are simply never going to work because the very basis of their claims are founded on marketing drivel, spot treatments can, should and do work. Sure, they’re not going to blitz a pimple in a second, but they do have the power to dramatically reduce its severity. So what’s the issue, I hear you ask? None of them ever seem to actually work. I’ve tried countless spo...
All of the ’90s Fashion Trends That Are Still Around in 2020
Just when you think all of the possible forgotten looks from the 1990s had remained hidden, along comes another one. How much do you want a really ridiculously small bag right now?

Or what about those ’90s Kate Moss images you come back to time and again for inspiration on what to wear on a night out? We’ve recently rediscovered a love for old-school SJP and combat trousers, too. The revivals are coming in thick and fast, people. Thick and fast. Keep scrolling for our guide to the ’90s fashion items, trends and combinations we wore to death and then forgot about until now. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

6 Easy Summer Outfits That Are Anything But Boring
If I had to sum up my ideal approach to fashion in one phrase, it would have to be maximum impact, minimal effort. I love outfits that can be thrown on and styled in no more than five minutes flat, yet you know when you walk out the door you could fool people into thinking you spent hours carefully putting it together. While for many people, looking good during social distancing is hardly at the top of their priority list (understandably), I have found that clothes can really have a transformative effect on my mood. However, as I have found myself becoming better acquainted with my sofa, the minimal-effort part of dressing has definitely taken precedence. Thankfully, summer is a season that lends itself to the low-maintenance approach to dressing, as you can stick to simple and time-tested...
Princess Beatrice Just Got Married In a Vintage Dress Belonging to the Queen
The royal weddings we’ve seen over the past decade have included enormous guest lists and processions through crowds of thousands, however Princess Beatrice married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi yesterday in a small intimate ceremony at The Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor. It’s fitting for this small family ceremony that Beatrice’s wedding dress was such a sentimental choice—she wore a vintage Norman Hartnell embellished gown that belongs to her grandmother the Queen. Beatrice made some alterations to the vintage dress, working with Stewart Parvin and Angela Kelly to add delicate organza puff-sleeves underneath the existing statement straps and add a new trim on the skirt. The Queen first wore this evening gown in 1961 to a state dinner in Rome and then a year lat...

14 Bucket Hats To Keep You Safe In The Sun This Summer
A few years ago, if you’d asked me about my opinion on buckets hats, the response wouldn’t have been a positive one. My only association with the item was primary school in Australia, where a strict “no hat, no play” rule was enforced daily, meaning that if you didn’t have a wide-brimmed hat atop your head, you weren’t allowed outside during recess or lunchtime. However, while the item might have played somewhat of an antagonist role in my youth, bucket hats seem to have had quite the makeover in recent years, going from dreaded item to fashion must-have. With cult brands like Ganni and Faithfull creating the item in a myriad of fun prints and contemporary colourways, buckets hats have become a hallmark of the stylish women’s summer wardrobe. Influencers from Lucy Williams t...
Everything Experts What You to Know About Looking After Your Hair Right Now
It has now been over two weeks since hair salons in the UK were allowed to open, but many of us are no closer to being able to get our hands on an appointment. And it’s not surprising really, given the circumstances. You see, a huge amount of people all want their hair cut/dyed in a short space of time. However, the last couple of weeks have been more interesting than ever for hair stylists. Not only has the routine of appointments had to drastically change in order to comply with new legislation, they have also been faced with new challenges when it comes to treatments themselves. “If you haven’t had a hair cut in over four months, the quality of the hair is definitely going to be poor. What tends to happen is that the hair starts to split up the hair shaft. Wispy ends tend...
The Ultimate French-Style Summer Top Is Back For 2020
I can confidently tell you that when it comes to style like some decades, some people never really go out of fashion. Jane Birkin is one of them. Held up as a bastion of chicness, the star’s style particularly during the late ’60s is a reference point we always go back to. Or, to put it more correctly, we never stray from. Exhibit A. is Birkin’s basket bag that she constantly toted around. From holidaying in the South of France to shopping, there are myriad shots of Birkin wearing the aforementioned style. No, she won’t have been the first person to wear this bag as a fashion statement but it’s indisputable, especially over the past few years, that the reappearance of wicker, basket, and woven bags is due to Birkin’s influence.&n...
Outfits That Prove It’s Still Chic to Wear Black in Summer
When it comes to discussing popular summer shades, the colour black is hardly the first that springs to mind. The dark hue not only attracts heat but is often synonymous with formal occasions or colder weather, rendering it practically redundant in the summertime. While it might not be the first colour on your list, I am of the mindset that an all-black ensemble will look chic no matter what season we are in. Surprisingly, several influencers have recently been posting images of themselves in monotone black outfits, further proving just how practical the shade can be in warm weather. From smocked puff-sleeve midi dresses to tie-detail skirts and tube tops, creating an interesting all-black look relies on selecting a unique silhouette.

Augustinus Bader Just Released a Cleanser and It’s Basically Liquid Gold
The truth is, the new cleanser is genuinely the most perfect cleanser my face has ever been blessed to. My concerns that the texture would be overly creamy and sumptuous were totally wrong. Actually, it’s a relatively runny, gel-like formula that has the silkiness and nourishment of a cream, but the deep cleansing abilities of a gel. With aloe vera leaf juice, cucumber extract and rose flower water, it’s calming, soothing and purifying, making it ideal for sensitive skin types like mine. However, most importantly, it’s formulated with TFC8 to deliver all of those high-grade vitamins and amino acids to boost cell renewal and repair. When massaged into damp skin, it creates a luxe-feeling lather that cleanses pores with ease and, once rinsed, leaves skin feeling healthy and, dare I say, norm...
