These 6 Celine Bags Will Always Be Chic

Celine bags have been firmly in the crook of the arm or dangling from the hand of fashion aficionados for as long as we can remember and have always been considered a clever investment amongst those in the know. While the brand has given us many arm candy options to pine over since the ’60s, we think it’s fair to say that it was the fashion house’s former creative director, Phoebe Philo, who helped make its bags so covetable. And since Hedi Slimane took his seat in the director’s chair in 2018, he too has bestowed us with covetable Celine bag designs. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

The 13 Dresses That Have Our Seal of Approval This Summer

While we’ve spent the last few months swapping between T-shirts and woolly jumpers, the first signs of summer have sparked a wardrobe shift. Now, it seems everyone is wearing dresses again, even if it’s just to chill on the sofa, and there are certain styles that are proving particularly popular in fashion circles.  Below, you’ll find 13 beautiful dresses, all of which we’ve have been given the seal of approval by multiple stylish women. The best part is even though they’re incredibly sought-after, they’re largely still in stock. And if you’re watching your budget right now, then perhaps these dresses will remind you of the already fabulous ones you own that you need to re-wear this season.  From the latest offeri...

25 Pyjamas That Are Ideal for Summer

I’m really trying hard to not live in my pyjamas right now. But the lockdown world dictates that sometimes, even when you have the best intentions, you end up wearing your PJ’s well into weekend afternoons. As for during the weekdays, while I 100% get dressed for work in “normal clothes” (and no one can make me say otherwise), the transition into my sleepwear in the evening happens the moment I finish up at my desk. What I’m saying is, I live for the hours in my PJ’s. They’re the comfiest and most comforting of all clothes to wear, but that’s a lot of time spent in one outfit. And with warmer weather incoming (just ignore that rain outside your window), you need a decent summer set.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Da...

I’m a Beauty Editor—Here Are the Summer Skincare Swaps I’m Making Right Now

I am, for lack of a better phrase, a total sun-worshipper. It’s not that I’m addicted to tanning or anything (trust me, sun-induced premature ageing means I am slathered in factor 50 all summer long)—it’s just that I really love the heat. As someone who lives in London where we spend the majority of the year wrapped up in waterproof jackets, fighting broken brollies and wearing down the soles of heavy-duty boots, the laid-back, carefree nature of summer gets me excited.  And I think it might have finally arrived. With the mercury finally hitting 20+, I have flung open the windows, pulled out the fan, packed away my knits and pulled out my dresses and shorts. However, my wardrobe is not the only area where I have been making substitutes. As the heat from the sun get...

Your Guide to the Key Trends for Summer 2020

Behind this desire for more classic, timeless pieces was a topic that’s high on the agenda of every fashion office in the world: sustainability. From Extinction Rebellion stationed outside of Victoria Beckham’s show to carbon-neutral fashion shows, the fashion industry’s impact on the planet was something that couldn’t be ignored during fashion month. There’s no doubt sustainability will have a significant impact on how trends are shaped over the next decade. Heather Gramston, BrownsFashion’s Buying Manager, said what is particularly notable for 2020 is how new talent is responding to these challenges, finding new ways to produce and create clothes: “I think the innovation coming out of the new wave of talent look to creating sustain...

This Nightie Is the Perfect Throw-On Dress for Afternoons In the Park

Despite our increased amount of time spent indoors, our appetite for pretty dresses certainly hasn’t settled down. Many are now retiring their loungewear and leggings in favour for throw-on dresses, as they are the easiest way to get dressed but still feel relaxed at home. Enter the brand of choice, Sleeper. This brand was founded as a pyjama label, and so naturally, it creates the comfiest nightie-style dresses around.  Sleeper’s most popular dresses have puffy short sleeves and loos like something straight out of a Victorian nursery tale. The brand has updated the traditional white nightdress with bold colours and pretty prints, such as florals and pretty polka dots. We’re especially taken aback by the dusty-pink version. The Instagram crowd proves t...

The Most “Fashion” Shoes, Dress and Top of Summer 2020

When writing our spring/summer 2020 trend report, we never could have anticipated the way life as we know it would change. While many of the buyers’ predictions about holiday clothes and wedding guest outfits are now irrelevant in the current climate, there are several items that are proving to be just as popular, despite not being able to be worn outside.  “The large majority of the runway collections have been incredibly wearable, the brands have showcased the ultimate wardrobing heroes in a new and interesting way: the suit, the Bermuda short, the white shirt, the tank top,” said Elizabeth von der Goltz, global buying director at Net-a-Porter, back in December.  There has been a shift toward simplicity rather than anything too attention-se...

5 of the Easiest Ways to Clean Out Your Wardrobe

My mum, Nancy, recently messaged me that it was time for her to clean out her wardrobe. While she has a range of timeless pieces that will remain staples, she knew there were a few—as she said—”meh items” that needed to go. While she has a strong sartorial eye, she wanted a check on whether or not the items she wasn’t wearing as much should be donated (when she’s able to do that) or saved. Given that we’re not near each other right now, I had her text me the pieces she wasn’t feeling for her own personal style. I then responded with either “purge” or “put back.” While she didn’t necessarily need to replace the “no” items with another forward item, she was interested in hearing my thoughts on trends to c...

The Baddest Ferrari Testarossa on Earth Is in Japan

I really never watched Miami Vice as a kid (probably because my parents wouldn’t let me), but one thing I do know about the hit 1980s TV show was its hero car—a white Ferrari Testarossa. Visions of the Testarossa would continue to be fed into my brain at an early age, from playing the arcade game OutRun to hearing my brother blasting Sir Mix-A-Lot’s Mack Daddy album, which contained a hit song called—you guessed it— “Testarossa. “ Of course, I really didn’t know the difference between a V-12 and a four-cylinder back then, but suffice it to say Ferrari was already up high on a pedestal. I dreamt that one day, when I made it on Robin Leach’s Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, I would buy my very own mid-engine Testarossa. Thirty years later, I’ve com...

2021 Toyota Corolla Hatch Special Edition: Boring Name, Hot Paint

The current Toyota Corolla hasn’t been with us for very long. The aggressive-looking five-door hatchback model first made its debut in the middle of 2018, and has since been joined by a similarly wide-mouthed four-door sedan variant. Despite its relative youth and visual edge, Toyota has decided to make the new Corolla a little spicier still with a new special-edition hatchback for 2021. The automaker has gone the literal route naming the car, too, dubbing it the Toyota Corolla Special Edition. You could fit your many better name ideas in the Corolla’s spacious cargo area, but we digress. At least the paint job is sweet—both in name and appearance. Every 2021 Toyota Corolla hatchback Special Edition will wear Supersonic Red paint, which in these photos resembles Mazda’s g...

5 It Pieces From the Early 2000s That We’re All Still Wearing

I think everyone must have been freezing during the early ’00s, as there was an overwhelmingly popular trend for wearing the shortest of crop tops with the lowest riding jeans. While I can definitely see the appeal in this outfit at the time, looking back, there’s no denying that it looks pretty dated. Thankfully, that trend is not one we’re still wearing today. But I can’t say the same for a few other It pieces that were total winners during the time. In 2020, there have been quite a few trends we all loved back then that have found their way into our wardrobes. From halter-necks to clutch bags to combat trousers, I’ve detailed five of the biggest trends we loved during the early ’00s and how we’re wearing them now.

These 5 Colours Are the Key to an Expensive-Looking Summer Wardrobe

Right now, London S/S 20 fashion week—which took place last September—probably feels like a distant memory. It was back before the term social distancing was used in our daily vernacular and the need to strategically plan a once-a-day walk was an absolute necessity. When the thought of crowded rooms filled with editors and influencers seemed completely normal, and hugs and handshakes were just regular friendly greetings.  However, despite the fact those runways feel a world away, many of their lessons are more relevant today than ever. From colour predictions to clothing trends, September’s collections acted as a crystal ball, enabling us to understand what would be most in-demand over the next few months.  In terms of colour, the runways were filled with a mixture...
