I recently did a deep dive through my wardrobe in an effort to clean out pieces I’m not wearing anymore. (P.S., the “flip the hanger” trick works wonders.) As I cleared out items to donate, I ended up mentally noting the key items I truly rely on. You know, those pieces that would essentially make up my capsule wardrobe. And sure, I still have a range of items in my wardrobe, but in reality, if I only kept 13 casual summer and transitional pieces, I know which would be the front-runners thanks to their versatile nature. As you can probably guess, the clothing and shoes in question are all basics because they can seamlessly be mixed and matched with other simple items to create easy yet chic outfits. In case you’re intrigued at what my curated wardrobe would look lik...

There are hundreds of thousands of influencers in the social ether, but only a handful who we religiously stalk in order to virtually steal the clothes off their backs. Our primary target is Monikh—the London-based styling and shopping guru who seeks out the very coolest buys from every corner of the retail world. From her inspiring tips on re-wearing her well-chosen investment items to hunting down the coolest high-street pieces, her Instagram feed @monikh and website are a veritable hotbed of things you’re going to want to purchase immediately (and will never regret). Each week, Monikh will share her new picks exclusively for you… I am writing to you in the middle of a heatwave, and so I have selected my three shopping picks with the weather in mind. I always lean towards light, breezy f...

As events have been cancelled around the world, we have seen very little of the celebrities that are usually photographed weekly. However as social distancing starts to relax and more people venture outdoors, we are starting to see more A-list styling choices. There have been several stand-out looks this summer, from Kendall Jenner’s £89 House of Sunny dress to Katie Homes’ vest top and jeans winner.  As red carpets are still on pause, instead of elaborate gowns the celebrity outfits we are seeing this summer are more relaxed, every day looks that we are more likely to be able to recreate ourselves. When it comes to throw-on appeal, you can’t beat a summer dress, and so most of the outfits on this list involve a breezy slip, midi or mini dress. Keep scrolling to see what ...

At the start of every new season, there are always certain non-negotiable basics I know I’ll be buying and/or wearing in the coming months, regardless of what the trends are. In winter, the list includes a warm coat and lug-soled boots. Spring might involve some new dresses and sandals, summer always requires a trove of white tops and basic swimsuits, and fall, of course, comes with its own set of essentials—all of which you’re about to read about below. While our A/W 2020 trend research is still in the works, from outerwear to accessories, the “basics” portion of my autumn shopping list has been set for quite some time now. To see my must-haves in action thanks to the help of some of our favourite fashion people on Instagram and, of course, shop my picks for each category along the way, j...

Even though it was 18 years ago, it’s hard to forget Halle Berry’s turn as Bond girl Jinx in 2002’s Die Another Day (which happens to be the same year she won her Oscar for Monster’s Ball). And one of the most unforgettable scenes was the one in the orange bikini. You know the one—Berry walked down the beach in a string bikini and holster and everyone lost their minds. If “breaking the internet” was a thing back then, she would’ve.  So why are we bringing this up nearly two decades later? Well, Berry just graced our Instagram feeds with a very similar photo of her walking down the beach in a very similar belted orange bikini. And just like that, we want an orange bikini of our own. If that’s the case for you too, keep scrolling to shop our fa...
