Unfortunately, though, we know all too well that The Row’s price point is not what we’d call ‘accessible’ or anywhere near ‘affordable’. It might well be justified at times by the quality— not just of the fabrics but of the creative processes too— and, of course, by the fact that these are anti-trend pieces that will live in your wardrobes forever. But you’ll be glad to hear, I’m here today to tell you it is possible to achieve the same polished, timeless wardrobe on a more realistic budget.  Since I myself am a stylist with classic and often minimalist style, I’m always on the lookout for the most expensive-looking pieces that give off The Row vibes. So, today, I thought I’d share with you my findings from years of research. Below you’ll find my answers to achieving an affo...

I know the whole ‘new year, new me’ thing is a cliché, but when it comes to my wardrobe I’ve been really feeling the urge to give it a good old cleanse lately. Since that feeling coincided with the start of a new year, I thought it was the perfect excuse to step back and take stock of what I really wear, and what pieces are just gathering dust. It may have something to do with the fact that I recently turned 30 and moved house, but it’s also become obvious (since working from home more regularly) that I don’t wear half my clothes anymore. So a tighter capsule edit of perfect pieces is going to clear some much needed storage space and make getting dressed in the mornings a lot easier. And I know I’m not alone in this— every friend I mentioned my new year intentions to, fashion gir...

No matter how much we might joke about its return in our grown-up WhatsApp groups, the truth is Y2K culture has permeated the world of fashion so much this year that even we 30-year-olds are coming round to the idea. The nostalgia is real right now, with Carrie Bradshaw back on our screens, Britney Spears back in action, Paris Hilton getting married and even Lindsay Lohan returning to acting. So as the popular adage goes, if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em.    But how do we do it in an age-appropriate way? Well, there are certain trends we should be leaving well and truly behind us—Von Dutch hats and pubic bone–skimming Miss Sixty jeans included. But believe it or not, there are ways to navigate Y2K trends into your current wardrobe without looking like your teen...

When it comes to shopping for clothes, shoes and accessories during Black Friday, you want to find classic pieces that have been slightly out of reach previously, or hard-working basics that are missing from your wardrobe (such as a new winter coat or ankle boots). I’d advise you only buy something that was already on your shopping list before it was on sale, check sizes carefully and don’t be tempted to buy something just because it’s in the sale. It’s all about considered, through-through purchases that won’t give you a pang of guilt when you see your bank statement in December. From high street staples to designer steals, keep scrolling to see what we’re loving in the Black Friday sales this year.  You Deserve to Make Money Ev...
