If You Went Off Bras in 2020, These 44 Will Change Your Mind
If we’re being honest, getting dressed in anything but sweatpants last year wasn’t exactly the highest priority on our lists (much less putting on a pretty bra). But we’ve entered a brand-new year, and we can’t think of a more simple resolution than to lift your spirits every day than by slipping into clothing you love. From picking a 2021 trend to test out first to embracing low-effort outfit ideas, there are so many easy ways to find joy in dressing up again—even if it’s just worn on your living room sofa. And the easiest thing to embrace this year is a pretty bra. Before you let any anti-bra sentiment steer you, let us attest to the fact that there’s power in this staple piece. A pretty bra can not only be styled as a bra top look or underneath your coziest work-from-home out...
It’s Only 39 Days Until Spring—So We’ve Found So Many Perfect Dresses
I have to confess I’m writing this story away from my desk, and under my duvet, because it is that cold this week. It might be snowing, however the daffodils in the supermarket and slightly lighter evenings are helping me to stay positive, and remember spring is just weeks away. Fun fact—the first day of spring is the 20th March. One of the things I’m most looking forward to about spring is abandoning the many layers (s’long puffer!), and revisiting my dress wardrobe. New-in sections are helping me indulge in my spring daydreaming, as every day is bringing with it new summery items to scroll through. Floral tea dresses and check midi dresses are hardly groundbreaking, but these throw-on styles always sell out at record speed, and so it doesn’t hurt to think ahe...
This Jacket Trend is Officially Part of My Year-Round Capsule
Broadly speaking, clothes can be divided into two categories: ‘trend’ and ‘timeless‘. While it’s worth noting that not all timeless pieces are flawless investments and not all trends are throw-away, the fact remains that some styles just seem to remain consistent over the decades (think trench coats and white tees), while others are rooted in a particular place and time. However, every now and then, an item of clothing will bravely make a bid for the ‘timeless fashion’ accolade, and transition over to the other side. One item that has managed this shift? The shacket.

Katie Holmes Just Proved This Is the Perfect Shoe To Wear With Jeans
Every year, as February rolls around, I find myself growing increasingly tired of my own boot collection. From November onwards, boots become the staple choice and after three months exclusively in them, it’s safe to say I’m about ready for a change. While sneakers are a worthy second option, this year celebrities are offering alternative inspiration if you too are ready to kick your boots to the kerb. From Hailey Bieber to Katie Holmes, this February stylish women are switching out their chunky Chelseas and casting aside their chunky-soled ankle boots in favour of classic loafers. Now, before you start asking how you’re expected to keep warm in sub-zero temperatures while wearing ankle-baring footwear, rest assured celebs have that p...
Daisy Ridley on the “Massive Quiet” of Star Wars Ending and What’s Next
After a year-long (and impressively productive) pause, Ridley is ready to enter the next phase of her acting career, beginning with the sci-fi thriller Chaos Walking with Tom Holland. The adaption of the Patrick Ness novel is gripping, fast-paced, and timely. Ridley plays Viola, a person seeking a better land and life whose spaceship crashes onto a planet infected by a disease called The Noise. The Noise only affects men, broadcasting out loud their innermost thoughts for everyone to hear—every innermost thought. It’s an allegory for our reality in terms of a rogue virus wreaking havoc, but it also puts a mirror up to social media, where every comment or whim can be unleashed in an instant. Ridley quit Instagram back in 2016 and hasn’t looked back. “I think people use it really well. It’s ...

I’ve Tried Basically Every Charlotte Tilbury Product—Here’s What I’d Recommend
Charlotte Tilbury is a brand that knows a thing or two about creating a buzz in the beauty world. From a cult lipstick that sells a tube every two minutes somewhere in the world to a foundation with a 17,000-person waitlist, basically every product that this brand launches has a record-breaking statistic or celebrity fan to its name. In fact, even when it launched back in 2013, Tilbury’s eponymous line was one of those rare gems that managed to have both beauty editors and consumers in a frenzy to try it. As a renowned makeup artist at the top of her game, Tilbury was already using some of her beauty products backstage on celebrity clients—so the excitement about them finally being launched into the hands of the public was very much real. ...

These It Bags Are So Timeless They Will Never be Passé
Over the years, the Olsens have mastered the art of less-is-more. The Row’s pieces are finely crafted, and it shows. Up-close, you can tell its handbags are impeccably made (making their four-figure price tags more justifiable), while the designs somehow manage to feel trendy but timeless all in one. This combination has proven palpable, as The Row bags are considered to be some of the chicest you can invest in. While The Row’s handbag collection can change between seasons, none of its older styles ever feel dated. Unlike many It bags that have come before them, to this day we see influencers and celebrities alike proudly toting their trusty The Row from years gone by, and not once have they felt passé. Such is the power of clean lines, classic colour choices, and high-qua...
The 10 Affordable Jewellery Brands I Wish I Could Keep A Secret
I for one, don’t subscribe to the idea that in order to shop sustainably you need exclusively splash the cash on designer wares. Most of my jewellery was bought on the high street and has happily served me for years. It’s all about keeping a beady eye out for a good piece or design that will stand the test of time and cater to a variety of outfits and occasions. If you’re not sure where to start, let me help you. I’ve done a bit of digging and found some chic jewellery brands that can’t be found in your typical high-street store. From Susan Caplan’s vintage gems and delicate chains via Daisy Jewellery to Missoma’s everyday staples, scroll down to see and shop the eight affordable brand I’m loving right now.

5 Cool Cardigans That Will Keep You Stylish and Cosy
If the humble cardigan wasn’t a staple in your wardrobe before last year, chances are it is now. Personally, I’ve always been a fan of the knitted cover-up (although I love jumpers, I prefer the way cardigans look and sit on my bigger bust), and it seems that all of fashion has come round to my way of thinking. Gone are the days when cardigans were considered dowdy, or dare I say it, boring. Now, designers have reimagined the cardigan in a multitude of stylish ways, making it a must-have in any closet, regardless of what your aesthetic may be. And as we head into spring, there are new cardigan trends for 2021 beginning to emerge. From statement faux-fur trims to pretty and nostalgic floral embroidery, the cardigans on offer this season will instantly eleva...
The Timeless Flat Shoes That We’ll All Be Wearing in 2021
If there was a prize for 2020‘s most redundant item of clothing, it would surely be the stiletto. With parties cancelled and weddings postponed, the high heel has been relegated to the dusty depths of our wardrobes, along with the likes of bikinis and workwear. Yep, it’s been a rough year for the partywear staple. However, there is a silver lining to the stiletto’s near extinction, and it’s the prolific rise and rise of flat shoes.
