5 Unexpectedly Cool Trends Coming at Us This Summer
There are plenty of chic trends for the taking in summer 2020 (aka, styles that we can still relish in throughout quarantine)—long shorts, elevated raffia bags, uplifting tie-dye, runway-inspired crochet, and playful puff sleeves. These trends skip merrily hand in hand with the casual and free-spirited nature of summer. But today, our focus is on the more unexpected summer trends that have been dominating our Insta feeds this year. Call them microtrends, if you will. These unique looks are wonderfully unpredictable and have been embraced by the fashion set, causing a ripple effect on the ‘gram. Read on to see the unexpectedly cool trends coming at us this summer, and shop them for yourself. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates O...
25 Chic Stationery Pieces I’m Sure Will Increase My Productivity
A snack. A cup of tea. Another glass of water. A quick check of Instagram. A WhatsApp to your friends of that funny video you saw of some woman making tea badly. Let’s be honest. These are just a few things that could be distracting when working from home. It is tough to remain productive, especially as we’re now many days into our routine of mostly staying in the house. So it’s time to pull out the big guns. And that means buying new stationery. I’m a firm believer in making sure you have your surroundings in check before you start working (I have to work with a tidy desk), and a great pen and a nice notepad are just part of that. Of course, stationery is so much more. There are the sticky notes, pencil cases, stamps, file holders, pencil pots, etc. I cou...
Every Time I Wear This One Necklace, I Get Dozens of Messages on Instagram
Ever have an item of clothing that people can’t stop asking you where it’s from? That piece for me right now is a vintage gold chain I bought from eBay for a tenner. Every time I wear it, I get dozens of messages on Instagram about it (because the only place you’ll really see an outfit right now is on Instagram). For a fashion editor, I have a moderate following on the platform; it’s nearing the 2K mark, but it’s not huge, especially in comparison to a lot of other peers and colleagues. This isn’t to make you feel pity for my lack of social media fans, but rather to highlight that my reach isn’t massive, yet followers message me about this necklace more than anything else. For a bit of background on this piece of jewe...
I Never Thought to Shop at This Overlooked High-Street Store—Until Now
If you are well versed in the art of high-street shopping, you’ll know the immense satisfaction that comes from discovering a new brand to add to your favourites list. While I have known of Monki for years, for some reason, I had it filed under the Gen Z tab of my mental fashion folder, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but it was never at the top of my priority list when a new season appeared on the horizon.

This Is Summer’s Answer to the Throw-On-and-Go Jumpsuit
If there’s one item of clothing I recommend more than any other, it has to be the jumpsuit. Regardless of body shape or age, it’s something that can really enhance your wardrobe, in terms of cool factor, versatility and dressing ease. I wear my utility jumpsuits all year round (my favourites are from M&S, Gap and Mango), but when it comes to high summer, I replace my long-sleeved iterations with playsuits.

I’m a Trousers Aficionado and This Is the Trend I’m Loving for 2020
While I try to avoid speaking in binaries when it comes to personal style, I think it’s fair to say that I classify myself as a “trouser person.” It’s not that I don’t embrace dresses in the heat of high summer or throw on the odd skirt every now and then (my black slip is a real wardrobe workhorse), but catch me on any given day of the week and chances are I’ll be wearing trousers.

Expensive-Looking High-Street Wedding Dresses to Buy Now and Wear in 2021
I know from my own experience that planning a wedding can take months. You spend endless hours deciding on what your guests are going to eat, what booze they’re going to drink, and even which napkins they’ll wipe their mouths on. While this is all important stuff, this doesn’t really compare to deciding on which outfit you’re going to wear. Of course, 2020 had different plans for those who already had their weddings coming up this year, and plenty of nuptials have had to be cancelled as a result of the pandemic. If there’s one silver lining we hope we can provide for you is that if you’re planning on getting married next year, then you have more time to decide on your dress. And if budgets are smaller than you had previously hoped for then we h...
Honestly, These Basic Tops Are the Only Things I Want to Be Wearing RN
Is it just me, or is Instagram awash with basic tops this spring? Influencers who were historically known for their extroverted ensembles have been stripping it back in favour of those previously overlooked wardrobe workhorses, from racer tanks to ribbed roll-necks. If you’re anything like me, this is great news as you’ll be craving sartorial simplicity and looking for versatility when you get dressed in the morning. Less is definitely more right now, but that doesn’t mean staples can’t rival those look-at-me ensembles. Case in point: Brittany Bathgate is a diehard minimalist who builds her outfits around basics. For example, she’ll pair a Breton top with white jeans and a trench coat, and the effect is undeniably chic. Personally, I have rediscovered a love f...
I Never Thought Flip-Flops Were Chic, But These Outfits Make Them So Fashionable
I’ve never been that into flip-flops in the past. Sure, I’d wear them to the pool or beach, but not really in my day-to-day life. That being said, I totally support those who live in the silhouette despite the fact that it didn’t always align with my personal style. Well, as we covered recently, those fancier flip-flops featuring heels, luxe fabrics, trending shapes and chic colours continue to make waves throughout the style set, and I’m now here for it. In fact, one of my friends just asked me for a few summer shoe recommendations, and I proudly stated flip-flops (despite my previous thoughts). To showcase some of the new-wave flip-flops I’m into, I rounded up a few outfits to test out now or note for the future that makes the sandal style look even more fas...
This Product Is My Secret Weapon for a Seamless, Glowing Base
Despite my love for foundation, I find that it does have a tendency to suck the life out of my complexion. While some totally eradicate any hint of glow, others might cling to dry patches, crease or create an unwanted layer of oily sheen. Because of this, over the years, I have found it very difficult to achieve a perfect, seamless base with speed and ease. That was until one day a few months ago, I started trialling a new skincare product. The minute I put it on, I realised that my skin felt smoother and looked perfected and glowing. And as I continued to use it every morning for the following few weeks, I noticed that my base went on like a dream. I didn’t find myself having to reach for powders or liquid highlight—it just looked glowing and healthy, first time, every time. Intrigued, I ...
These Are the Clean Beauty Brands That Celebs Swear By for Glowing Skin
If we had to pick out what we believe to be the biggest beauty movement of the last couple of years, there’s no doubt that we’d settle on clean beauty. More so than ever, we all want to know exactly what it is we’re slathering on our faces. From preservatives like parabens to drying foaming agents like sulphates, as consumers we are increasingly starting to question the purpose (and side effects) of certain ingredients in our skincare and makeup. It’s therefore no surprise that the clean beauty movement has really started to take off. People are starting to switch on to the fact that actually, some of the ingredients in our products might not be necessary. And, while over here in the UK we adhere to strict EU safety laws (at least for now), elsewhere in the world, the levels of p...
30 Zoë Kravitz Outfits That Are Worth Looking Back At
Thanks to Big Little Lies, Zoë Kravitz has been on our fashion radar for some time. While she’s always been in our minds when thinking about cool, edgy style, due to the show’s mass appeal, we’re constantly obsessing over her latest looks. The increase in her public appearances made us realise it was time her style was properly celebrated. The 31-year-old actress, singer, model and producer’s cool look is so much more than standard celebrity glam (thanks to her work with stylist Andrew Mukamal) and makes her the real fashion star of any celebrity gathering. Zoë’s a master at adopting cult buys early—including Adam Selman x Le Specs Lolita sunnies and It bags from The Row and Gabriela Hearst. Let’s just say she easily adopts trends into her arsenal. ...
