Reformation‘s aesthetic is romantic and feminine with a vintage touch. Their beautiful editorial photography and classic designs have captured the interest of a whole generation of women, but it’s their commitment to sustainable and ethical manufacturing that keeps us coming back. Since Reformation came on the scene a decade ago, it has become the go-to brand for cool girls everywhere. Celebs like Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Emily Ratajkowski can’t get enough of their timeless pieces. Reformation‘s impact on the industry has not only helped make sustainable fashion sexy, but it’s also inspired an influx of midluxury brands that are founded and run by women. Retailers like Réalisation Par, Rouje, Oresund Iris, and Rat & Boa (to name a few) are catering to a s...
Fashion has a complicated relationship with plastic. As much as we pass laws to reduce it and march in the streets to get it out of our oceans, plastic fashion (like PVC shoes, clothes, and accessories) continues to be one of the industry’s biggest trends. It’s a funny paradox where our fascination with transparent pieces is subverting the actual transparency that we need from big brands. But what if we used the demand for this trend as a way to reduce our plastic problem? The word “sustainable” was once tied to an underground and overpriced market. Now that the eco-fashion revolution is in full swing, there are tons of fresh brands like Mara Hoffman, Reformation, and Chromat that are gaining loyal fan bases while influencing mega retailers, like H&M and Zara, t...

We’re currently living in a golden age of affordable demi-fine jewellery, thanks in part to a surge of Instagram-famous brands using the platform to market their up-and-coming boutiques. But mostly, we’ve got to give credit to the Duchess of Sussex. Ever since Meghan Markle’s love of British demi-fine jewellery brand Missoma became public knowledge, there has been a major move by similar brands to populate this space. While we love the Insta-famous boutiques we find online, we actually have a ton of affordable fine and demi-fine jewellery brands right here in the UK. Much like Missoma, our homegrown jewellery designers create minimal pieces that carry a certain nostalgia that we’ll call “modern vintage.” From fashion-crowd favourites like Otiumberg, Alig...
According to UK government guidelines, wedding season is officially back up and running as of summer 2021. For most of us, that means being strategic with how much we spend on our friend’s big day. After cashing out on gifts, travel, and accommodation (especially if it’s a destination wedding), there isn’t much left over to invest in an incredible summer wedding guest dress. If you’re looking for an affordable outfit to wear to a wedding, we’ve got you sorted. Choosing the perfect summer wedding guest look can be tough, especially when you have to take note of the location. Whether it’s a traditional church wedding, a casual city soirée, destination nuptials by the beach, or a remote countryside ceremony, we have a few suggestions that will make your sar...
BBC’s new true-crime series The Serpent takes us on a journey of glamour, seduction, and murder. It follows the story of ’70s French serial killer Charles Sobhraj (played by Tahar Rahim) who goes by the name “Alain” and his menacing partner-in-crime girlfriend Marie-Andrée Leclerc (played by Jenna Coleman) who goes by “Monique.” While the pair prey on Western tourists traveling in Southeast Asia, Monique uses her charm and fashion sense to lure in unsuspecting victims — and although we absolutely condemn her predatory behaviour, we know exactly how to copy her sultry French-bohemian style. In the 1970s, the ideal fashion look included flared, high-waisted blue jeans or trousers secured with a wide belt. Oversize sunglasses were also very popular, as well...
First rule of autumn? You can never have too many black boots. After all, they are the ultimate every-season shoe. From the cooler months to the festive season and well into spring and summer, a classic black boot is always in style.

Since we’ve taken a break from saving outfits for special occasions, we’re re-discovering the joy of dressing up for ourselves. Now, more than ever, it’s important to find the simple bliss of everyday moments, and one of the ways we’re doing that is through our personal style. There are a few key pieces in my wardrobe — mainly dresses and jewellery — that I find myself wearing when I need a little help staying positive, and I got in touch with five of my favourite fashion editors to share the clothing and accessories that are lifting their moods in lockdown. Style is a great form of self care through personal expression. It gives us both a sense of structure and freedom in that our outfit is a daily choice we make, which we have complete creative control over. A sil...
