The Clossic Era: Why the Longchamp Bag is Having a Revival
Have you ever noticed that if you break your arm, suddenly everyone seems to have broken their arm? Or when you have a major haircut, like when I decided to chop all my hair into an Italian bob a few months ago, then it seemed everyone was suddenly doing the same thing? Well, the same thing has happened to me recently when I decided to revive my failsafe, dependable Longchamp La Pliage Large Bag (£120) from the back of the cupboard. I have had this bag for years, in various sizes I may add, but this year I decided rather than looking around for the latest handbag shape I was going to save my money and revert back to an old faithful. It fits my laptop in, it's easy to carry, not too heavy, it can be cleaned easily, and if I don't need it anymore that day it can be folded up into a wallet ...
I Tried Dressing Like It Was My Last Day on Earth — Here’s What I Discovered
I'm not someone who has ever really enjoyed black - yes I know that might sound shocking from someone who works in fashion. We are told black is a staple and should be in everyone's wardrobe, but it's just not for me. I try to wear colour, most of the time; it makes me feel more like myself. However like most people I just outright sometimes cannot be bothered to be creative with an outfit and to make an effort to dress up. It's just sometimes, well, always easier in the morning rush to grab the easiest and comfiest thing we own and wear on repeat. Anyone else? Enter this experiment. You may be wondering why I have decided to dress like it's my last day on earth every day for a week. Well, I have been influenced and inspired by Louise Thompson, who has documented what some people might c...

How to Master the Art of Buying Clothes on Depop, and Yes, It’s an Art
People always seem surprised when I tell them that almost 50 percent of my wardrobe comes from Depop, but it’s honestly the truth. I joined the app seven years ago, around the time that I was getting ready for my year 11 prom. I bought a red dress from Depop for £14, had it tailored, and the rest is history. Since then, my Depop finds have gotten more and more impressive, and I find myself using the app to shop more than I use any other ecommerce site. Over the years, I’ve bought a Gucci notebook, Vetements shirt, Saint Laurent slides, and a brand new Fiorucci T-shirt from the app that, altogether, retail at well over £2,000. I, however, spent a fraction of that price and now continue to use Depop as my go-to for finding affordable designer items. As a seasoned shopper, I must ...
Adidas Is Releasing Three New Stan Smith Trainers With a Focus on Sustainability
Sportswear legend Adidas has announced an all-new era for its iconic Stan Smith silhouette, with the release of three new editions.

It was first released as a tennis shoe, named the “adidas Robert Haillet”, and then later renamed to Stan Smith, after the American tennis player. Since its release, the Stan Smith has exceeded all expectations and quickly became one of the brand’s most popular models. For 2021, Adidas is revamping the iconic shoe in order to furthe...
