51 New Summer Zara Items Destined to Sell Out
Confession: When assigned this story, I hadn’t been on Zara.com in a couple of months. What can I say? I’d been enjoying some alternative affordable brands instead. But now, I can confidently say Zara and I are thoroughly reacquainted, and the product offering is looking prime for summer. I looked through every single item on the site and have to admit I now have quite a few pieces in my personal cart. Because if I know anything about Zara, it’s that those cult-favorite items go fast. From years of coverage of the brand on Who What Wear, our editors have cultivated a sharpened sense of what has the potential to sell out quickly. I pulled these products into one epic roundup of summer wardrobe goodness, so we can get our shopping kic...
Under-£100 Homeware Buys From H&M, Zara and More
One of the things that I kept finding myself doing while in lockdown over the past few months is falling into interior decorating holes. I’ve spent hours finding new homeware brands and cool interior design Instagram accounts for inspiration. I’ve also been getting lost on Pinterest. This is partly down to nosiness and a desire to see how other people are using their spaces, but also because I have an impulse to show more love to my home while spending so much time indoors. I’ve cleaned more than ever before and spent a whole weekend lovingly painting one door. Like many of us, I’m being careful with my spending, so the last thing I’d want to do in this period is make people feel like they need to spend more or feel pressured to make home improvements. You Des...
These Summer-Ready Printed Dresses Are Pure Joy
I honestly believe there is something about a dramatic dress that can distract from the day-to-day boredom and, even if it’s just in a small way, help us to feel a little bit special—whether it’s for Skyping family or making a cup of tea. Well, with everything from florals and checks to polka dots and animal print being embraced this season, there are plenty of options available right now, each one with the potential to imbue us with a different mood. Who will you be today? The ‘60s It girl in Rixo’s sunset shades or a Jane Austen heroine clad in puff-sleeve florals? An ’80s matriarch with a penchant for animal print or a beach-dwelling Cali girl in floaty checks? The dress world is your oyster. So really, all I’m trying to say is whether you r...
14 Affordable Items That Will Help Elevate Your Favourite Basics
Luckily, in the UK, we have a wide range of online high-street offerings available to us, and brands are getting smarter about designing pieces that aren’t going to fall out of favour the following season. The likes of Arket and & Other Stories, in particular, have become known for their quality, expensive-looking designs that are indiscernible from their designer counterparts. Add to this the fact that the minimalist aesthetic has ruled over the past 12 months, meaning it’s even easier to hunt down those affordable yet premium-looking gems. As someone who has spent many years following high-street brands—both in my spare time and as part of my job—I have a good sense of what to look out for when it ...
The Trendiest Pieces at H&M Right Now and the Basics to Wear Them With
As you know, H&M is a great place to find trends that you don’t want to spend a lot of money on. As you also know, it’s also a great place to shop for basics that look more expensive than they actually are. And while a diverse wardrobe is wonderful, if you want the ease of shopping for an entire outfit (or seasonal wardrobe even) all at one place, you could certainly get away with it at H&M. So where to even start? I find it easiest to build an outfit around a particular trend, adding on whatever basics best complement it. Easy to do at H&M. And currently, it has tons and tons of on-trend pieces for summer, from tiered dresses to sweatshorts to tangerine orange. Keep scrolling to shop the trends and the H&M basics that best suit them.

Everything You Should Know About Laser Hair Removal, IPL and Electrolysis
And yes, laser is widely regarded as the most effective, risk-free and convenient form of hair removal among experts, however there are some very important things to note, because it definitely isn’t for everyone. Mr Ernesto Azzopardi, Consultant Plastic Surgeon and laser specialist at the Cadogan Clinic says, “The closer the colour of the hair to the skin, the more difficult it becomes to treat without causing side effects. The ideal match is dark hair on fair skin because the background doesn’t provide much else the light treatment can target.” So what does that mean for the rest of us? In order for this treatment to be effective, the hair needs to be dark, and significantly darker thank your skin if you want to avoid harm. Because of this, the treatments aren’t effective for red, b...
9 Grandma Trends That Are Basically Mainstream at This Point
The life span of a trend goes like this: At first, insiders begin to wear what we call a “micro-trend” until, at a certain point when there are enough versions to be found at a range of price points, it’s officially a trend with a capital T. At that point, it either expires after the current season or proves to have staying power and therefore becomes mainstream. For as negative a connotation as it usually has, mainstream actually isn’t such a bad thing. Really, it means that a trend that was once niche has proven to be worthy of a long-lasting place in your closet, and, at least to me, that’s a beautiful thing. Recently, I got to thinking about the whole idea of grandma dressing. When we reported on the budding trend back in February 2019, it was definitely a...
I Think This Is Set to Be the Cult Dress of the Summer
In the age of lockdowns, social restrictions and event cancellations, it would be easy to assume that the concept of a trending dress might be forgone for the summer of 2020. After all, with weddings postponed, celebrations largely on hold and public spaces still closed, where would one wear such an item? Well, to their living room, apparently. Yes, although this summer is set to look a little different, that hasn’t stopped supermodels and influencers from dressing their best. In fact, models such as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Romee Strijd and influencer Camille Charrière have continued to dress up and interestingly enough have gravitated toward the same floor-length maxi as their gown of choice. Designed by It label Cult Gaia, the Serita ...
Black Lives Matter
Danielle lent her platform to the voices that deserve to be heard. Please take a few minutes to listen to what they have to say by clicking here♡ “What I’ve learned more than anything recently, is that it’s not enough to be anti-racist. We have to be educated and informed, we have to be proactive and take action, we have to take a stand and be brave, we have to have uncomfortable conversations and we have to own up to how we’ve failed our Black friends, and then show up for them and become allies. The we starts with I, I need to and WILL do all of this too. I am a privileged white person that has a massive platform that can and will continue to be used to bring awareness, share resources, take action and implore my community to do the same. I will never personally understand the pain and ...

I Have Simple Style, and These Are the Only Easy Trends I Care About
If I had to describe my personal style in three words, low-key, elevated, and simple would pretty much sum it up.
