July 20, 2021 at 06:00AM This is probably not very ’fashion editor’ of me to admit, but I often avoid buying items of clothing that are purely designed for the summer months. Perhaps it’s because I have always been drawn to the cosy layers of autumn (I’m a November baby), or maybe it’s simply my inner budgeter

Halsey Announced the Arrival of Their Baby in a Heartwarming Instagram Post

The Cutest Summer Camp-Inspired Jewellery to Wear All Season Long
July 19, 2021 at 08:26PM Remember sitting on your bunk bed, making friendship bracelets with your BFF and wearing them until they basically disintegrated from your wrist? Well, handmade, summer camp-inspired accessories are making a major comeback. As we collectively reminisced about more carefree times while *actually* spending most of
July 13, 2021 at 06:17AM Around 20 years ago, it was slim pickings on the high street when it came to lingerie. Marks and Spencer was the default for practical pieces, but if you wanted something a little prettier, you’d end up having to walk into a somewhat seedy store
July 12, 2021 at 06:02AM As someone who avoided wearing trousers for the best part of 20 years, I’ve always found it increasingly difficult to style them—particularly where shoes are concerned. Often, I’ll compile my looks from head to toe, starting with a statement top, the accompanying bottom half and
July 12, 2021 at 06:00AM 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
July 12, 2021 at 06:00AM We created What to Buy Now to bring you a concise edit every Monday of the items we really love, including pieces from the high street and designer labels, vintage gems you can buy online and even charity-shop treasures. We’re constantly scanning the most stylish online stores so you
July 12, 2021 at 06:00AM From vivid colours to the return of effortlessly cool ponytails, summer 2021 is already proving itself to be something of a playground when it comes to experimenting with new hair looks. But with copper colours trending one minute and the return of the mullet the next, it can be incredibly hard to keep
July 12, 2021 at 05:00AM I don’t know about you, but I love a pretty trend. Maybe it’s the romantic in me, but I tend to lean toward dreamy, delicate, and graceful styles over anything else. Lucky for me (and you if this is what you’re into as well), this summer
July 11, 2021 at 08:00AM Summer holidays might not look how we’d like them to this year, but it doesn’t mean we can’t dust off our swimsuits and get ready for the warmer weather that lies ahead. Now, before you get too excited and end up spending all your money
July 11, 2021 at 08:00AM Marks and Spencer is one of our favourite places to shop for long-lasting wardrobe staples and has a strong track record of every day turning basics into cult items, whether it’s a grey jumper or a beige wrap coat. I am most impressed by M&S’ footwear department, and wear
July 11, 2021 at 08:00AM I’m pretty lucky. Not only do I have a job where I get to experience, write, and learn about the newest and most exciting products, treatments, and trends hitting the beauty industry, but I also get to interview and get to know the artists and
July 11, 2021 at 08:00AM Your age should have absolutely nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear. That said, we often gravitate toward women over 40 for style inspiration given their more experienced points of view. Influencers Erin Busbee and Melissa Meyers are two women we turn to for outfit inspo.
July 11, 2021 at 08:00AM When it comes to French style signifiers, there are some that immediately come to mind. Breton stripes is one, basket bags is another, and feline eyeliner flicks also have an undeniable je ne sais quoi about them. But when it comes to hair, there’s one style that feels more Gallic than
July 11, 2021 at 08:00AM Holly Willoughby wearing a Rixo dress on This Morning. Rixo is a great British success story. Best friends Henrietta Rix and Orlagh McCloskey created their fashion business from the front room in their student flat in 2015. Five years later, their vintage-style dresses have had
July 11, 2021 at 06:45AM There’s something so timelessly chic about backless dresses. They recall hot summer nights, the South of France, and a touch of carelessness all at once. The only time I go braless (with D-cup boobs) is for a backless dress, and though I’m still wrapping my head around the
July 11, 2021 at 06:02AM Perhaps it’s that pedicure I’ve just been for, but at this precise moment, all I can think about are sandals. I’ve only invested in one pair this season (Dune’s Longisland chunky flip-flops, in case you were wondering), and now that summer is officially upon us, I
July 11, 2021 at 06:00AM There’s no doubt that Le Labo’s widely adored fragrance Santal 33 is one of the most defining scents of the last decade. From Alexa Chung to Justin Bieber, some of the most iconic celebrities have professed their love for the unisex scent. And in all honesty, I’d
July 11, 2021 at 06:00AM It’s official: After a lot of time spent indoors over the last year and a half with no real reason to put on makeup, beautiful eyeshadows and vibrant lipsticks are making a comeback. Yes, summer 2021 is uniting both beauty aficionados and curious novices in a quest to dust off our
July 11, 2021 at 06:00AM As a shopping editor, it’s my job to keep an eye on the latest pieces dropping from your fave brands, and every now and then, a whole collection is too good to ignore. Dress lovers, tailoring fanatics and those with a penchant for polka dots, I’m happy
July 11, 2021 at 06:00AM I love to wax lyrical to anyone who will listen (read: other editors) about the fact that Arket does the best white T-shirts. After all, in fashion land, getting your hands on the perfect basic—be it a white tee, jeans or tailored blazer—is always something to celebrate.
July 11, 2021 at 05:05AM I know firsthand that there’s nothing more annoying than being challenged after saying (or yelling) “I have nothing to wear,” but I’m sorry—I must tell you that I’m here today to do just that. But the truth is we all have countless cute pieces in our wardrobes
July 10, 2021 at 08:00AM Do you feel that? The flowers are blooming, the sun is staying out longer, and celebrities are back at it with their bikini posts. That’s right—nature is healing, and the Earth is returning to its natural state. With all things summer on the brain, we can’t stop thinking about all
July 10, 2021 at 08:00AM First of all, let me speak about the elephant in the room. At age 41, I am still young and have healthy skin (thanks to a stringent routine of cleansing, toning, treating, moisturising and sunscreening since age 14), and quite honestly, I feel better in my skin than
July 10, 2021 at 08:00AM Six years ago, my family experienced a huge scare when my then 65-year-old mom was rushed to the ER in order to receive an emergency cardioversion—aka a medical paddle used to restart her heart. The day before the trip to the emergency room, we’d been
July 10, 2021 at 08:00AM If you love fashion and in particular French fashion, then you’ll know who Carine Roitfeld is. Esteemed editor of Vogue Paris for a decade, she then went on to found CR her eponymous fashion magazine and continues to be held up as a bastion of
July 10, 2021 at 08:00AM I don’t know about you, but the past year has felt long. I’ve got more grey hair and more wrinkles, and despite going to bed earlier, I’m still tired. There’s no denying that I’ve felt like I’ve aged faster in lockdown. While there’s nothing inherently
July 10, 2021 at 06:33AM Shops are brimming with summer dresses right now. So many, in fact, that the selection can be overwhelming. Where can you find a pick of the best? Right here, of course. Not only have we done our research in terms of key trends for summer, but
July 10, 2021 at 06:09AM Deciding what to wear to a wedding is difficult enough, but a summer wedding? It requires even more consideration. While you can’t bank on sunny skies for the big day, if recent weather is anything to go by, you can assume it’s going to be
July 10, 2021 at 06:02AM Although I consciously try to mix things up when it comes to the brands I buy from, right now, there are a handful of stores I’m struggling to resist because they keep knocking it out of the park with their new-in summer pieces. Three such brands are
