This Is How to Safely Whiten Your Teeth at Home, According to the Experts
You see, over the last couple of months, not only have my aforementioned dental issues worsened a little, but the appearance of my teeth as a whole has plummeted. Whether it’s because of the amount of tea I have been stress-drinking or just because it’s been a while since my last appointment, my previously pearly whites have descended into a state of yellow-tinged dismay. And I’m desperate to do something about it. Wary that my teeth probably aren’t in a particularly strong state right now, I’m cautious that I should probably speak to a professional before I engage in any sort of at-home teeth whitening. Luckily, I’ve got a few on hand to help. So in a bid to help everyone (myself) get to grips with how to brighten up your pearly whites at home without causing damage, I reached out to thos...
I Just Tried Over 35 Foundations—These Are the Ones I’d Recommend
Usually, I have to undergo several weeks of preparation before I can muster up the mental courage to embark on a foundation shopping trip. The first step is furiously scrubbing off the residual makeup that’s caked on the empty bottle of my foundation to try and decipher the shade name. It’s usually something arbitrary and food-related like cocoa or mocha, but that’s a conversation for another day. Then I make a hit list and map out the brands that I know have more than 10 shades in their range (or at least one that they deem appropriate for darker skin tones). When I finally make it into the shop, I’m already weary by the time I decide which foundations to swatch. Then I find it: a seemingly good match. Well, it’s a good match until I take ...
These £35 Influencer-Approved Shorts Are a Summer Staple
A few weeks ago, Lucy Williams posted a photo of herself to Instagram wearing Arket’s of-the-moment elastic-waist linen shorts. After seeing the image, I immediately found myself clicking over to the brand’s website, desperate to get a pair of my own, knowing full well they’d become a hero summer item I’d wear all season long. To my disappointment, the staple had already sold out in several different colours. Thankfully, Arket knows a thing or two about keeping their customers happy as the label has restocked the popular item in both the black and light beige colourways. An influencer favourite, already this season the shorts have been worn by Lucy Williams and Rachael Clifton of Bubbly Aquarius, proving they are indeed a very hot commodity. Th...

We Predict This Will Be the Trending Top of the Summer
Sometimes a trend comes along that’s so simple that anyone can get in on it without feeling like they’re being too ostentatiously “fashion.” Today, that trend is the sleeveless T-shirt. Once reserved for rock stars like Debbie Harry, thanks to brand of the moment The Frankie Shop’s versions, this top is now firmly back on the fashion industry’s radar. The defining details of the current style are that it needs to be sleeveless (of course) but with slightly oversize shoulders and a round neck. Colours are kept simple with white, cream, black and grey being the most acceptable hues. However, stripes and muted pastels are also great options. Further proof that this trend is going to be ubiquitous for the season is that you can find the top from lu...

You Can Now Buy THAT J-Lo Green Versace Dress
The most talked-about look for the spring summer 2020 season was without a doubt Versace’s cutout gown, which was a reimagining of the dress Jennifer Lopez wore to the Grammys in 2000. Even Anna Wintour grinned when J.Lo walked down the runway at Milan Fashion Week in the dress that led to the invention of Google’s image search tool. This wasn’t just a moment for Instagram, however as now you can purchase the gown yourself. Net-a-Porter noted in its spring summer 2020 trend report that this is its biggest investment from the Versace runway. The original runway version is now available on the site for £6960, while Net-A-Porter has also heavily bought into a commercial version for £4850. That might still be an eye watering price, however the crystal-embellished s...

Every Outfit Kate Middleton Has Worn on Her Royal Zoom Calls
Like so many of us, Kate Middleton has been spending a lot of time on video calls lately, though the Duchess of Cambridge hasn’t been participating in virtual pub quizzes or Saturday evening digital drinks (…we assume). No, her royal highness has instead been appearing online as a part of her royal duties, calling in to This Morning with Phillip and Holly, thanking nurses as a part of International Nurse Day and spreading important messages about mental health awareness. As to be expected, each of Middleton’s appearances has garnered the attention of the press, not only because of the worthwhile causes the duchess is supporting but also because of her coveted Zoom outfit choices. Of course, Middleton’s at-home attire does not consist of oversize loun...
22 Very Old Trends I’m Still Wearing Today
I’m a huge fan of ’70s fashion—the era created a host of trends that still stand up today, whether you realise they’re from that time or not. Think of our current obsession with bright over-the-knee boots, folk-inspired printed dresses, velvet and corduroy, boho blouses, midi skirts and so on. While the ’70s sweeps over the runways every couple of seasons, there’s always still a hint of it on the streets if you look closely. Think of the iconic designer names that were indelibly marked into history during this decade, like Yves Saint Laurent, Karl Lagerfeld and Diane von Furstenburg. It was also a period where mass-market, trend-driven fashion was also more readily available. Barbara Hulanicki’s Biba kick-started the idea in London a decade earlier, alon...
