The 7 Fashion Aces Princess Diana Served at Wimbledon
If it were any other year, Wimbledon would currently be taking place in London. Though, if there’s anything we know to be true, it is that 2020 is no ordinary year. While this year’s tennis tournament may be cancelled, we can’t help but reminisce on the immaculate courtside style of Wimbledon’s past. Of course, you can’t talk about Wimbledon style without mentioning Princess Diana, as she always had fun with her tennis looks. Diana was a keen tennis player herself and often looked amazing on the court in her cycling short and pleated miniskirts. Her courtside looks are just as memorable, however, as she often watched Wimbledon in pastel suits, bold accessories and vibrant prints that we would look just as fabulous today. In particular, we love t...
13 Hand Sanitisers That Smell as Good as Perfume
For those of you who have been diligently applying hand sanitiser for years, you’re probably feeling pretty smug right now—especially considering all of the eye-rolls you encountered every time you took out your prized bottle before a meal. Well, as this is our new normal, we all need to get on board and befriend the not-so-humble-anymore hand sanitiser. There are obviously two camps of sanitiser: the usual medical-scented ones and the more luxe versions. With frequent use, the strong alcohol scent can often seem a bit harsh, so we’ve done the legwork for you to find the best hand sanitisers that also smell pretty nice. Reminder: It’s recommended to go for an alcohol-based hand sanitiser that has at least 60% alcohol content, so keep an eye out for th...

There’s a confidence that lies in an over-40 woman’s wardrobe.

Eager to find out where stylish women in their 40s shop to create said reliable wardrobe, I tapped five fashion-forward women over 40 who I love to follow on Instagram for their chic style.

30 Items From Zara, & Other Stories and COS That Stopped Me in My Tracks
As life slowly returns to normal, pubs and restaurants reopen and international travel begins to look like an option again for some this year, I’m finding myself revisiting new-in sections with a newfound interest now that I am wearing more than just jogging bottoms. There are three high-street summer collections in particular that I’m really impressed with: Zara, & Other Stories and COS. All of these summer collections have plenty of throw-on appeal, making them realistic for my working-from-home set-up and low-key summer plans. They also all have an elevated and timeless appeal, meaning they’ll last for summers for years to come. Hero pieces I have my eye on include a pale-blue cotton midi dress from COS, a pair of sage-green shorts from Zara and chunky sc...
Here’s How to Do Knitwear in Summer, According to Alexa Chung
When it comes to summer clothing, knitwear is not the first thing that springs to mind. Though, if you live in the UK, it probably should be. With unpredictable weather, cooler days and grey skies as regular occurrences even in the summer months, knitwear is generally on high rotation. Luckily, when it comes to knits and cardigans, there are plenty of options around that still manage to feel summer-appropriate, and this week, in particular, Alexa Chung has shown us three versions that are just that. As a part of her latest collection, Alexa has been sporting a few brightly coloured knits lately in vivid shades of green, blue and red. Paired with miniskirts and leather trousers, the knits still manage to feel relevant for the weather right now despit...

You’d Never Guess These 19 Summer Buys Were From Next
When I was growing up the Next catalogue was a source of great excitement. I would spend hours leafing through the kids’ fashion section and relishing the many outfit possibilities that were presented to me on its colourful pages. In all honesty, I haven’t given the brand much consideration over the last decade, as I often found that the stock in-stores never really spoke to me. Yet, 2020 seems to be challenging my preconceptions of Next, as I’ve spotted a few of their designs on Instagram looking undeniably cool.

This Is the Best-Selling Serum in French Pharmacies
So why do I love the serum? Let me count thy ways. First, the texture: it has a lightweight, milky feel that glides on very easily. It really wakes up my skin instantly, especially when my face looks as tired as I feel. It makes my face look glowy, fresh and more even. Over time, it also helps brighten my post-acne marks, which is what I originally sought out the product for. Be patient with results, though, as the marks won’t fade right away. The serum’s ingredient that helps with dark spots is called viniferine, which is derived from grapes. Last but not least, it basically doubles as a moisturiser for my oily/combination skin. If you have dryer skin, you’ll probably want to add a heavier moisturiser, but I have felt that it’s great on its own for me. Without...
Finally, a Sustainable Fashion Brand That’s Also Affordable
Introduce our readers to your brand. When did you start it, and why? I’m Natasha, and I’m the woman behind Roop, which is also my nickname, I started making the bags last September while I was off work with a bad back (it’s a glamorous story). I was inspired by a shoe strap I saw on Instagram and the beautiful art of furoshiki. Roop is a beautiful mix of everything I love! How has social distancing and stay at home orders affected your business? How have your priorities shifted? I feel guilty saying this, but it kind of made Roop into what it is today. Firstly, it gave me the time to focus on and execute what I wanted to do with the business, and secondly, the rise in support for small businesses put me in front of more people. Lastly, my brand is happy, colourf...
