So she’s turning 21 and you’re worried about what to get her. It’s a big birthday to commemorate – and no doubt she’ll have the Jay Gatsby-inspired celebration plans to match its grandeur – so buying her just any old present simply won’t do, trust me. 21st birthday gifts are something to remember forever; whatever

It’s been just over a year and a half since I made the epic decision to shave off my chemically straightened hair in a bid to restart the journey of growing and falling back in love with my natural, thick, type 4b/4c Afro hair. As a child, I had incredibly thick, coily tresses that would

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez‘s Met Gala dress looks like a carbon copy of one designer’s own brand — at least according to the designer, but she doesn’t want a fight … just a collab. An IG user who goes by the Velvet Bandit posted photos of AOC in her “Tax the Rich” dress stacked up against

Being pregnant is hard work. OK, admittedly I don’t have first-hand experience of being pregnant BUT I have it on good authority that growing a human inside your body for nine months is no mean feat. As well as grappling with the existential euphoria/fear of bringing a baby into the world, you have to deal

We’re by the ocean, but it’s not just any beach. It’s Jacob Riis Park, where queer people flock to get away from city noise and flaunt our bodies, curves, bulges, rolls, scars… everything that makes us beautiful. “It’s the place where I’ve seen more Chromat in the wild than any place on earth,” says Becca

The past 18 months have been a challenging time for couples everywhere (thanks Coronavirus ).

A candle gift set is the easiest and most gorgeous gift to give to your loved one that they’ll genuinely appreciate and thank you for. Trust me. I know it seems mundane and doesn’t require much thought (or so you’d think), but who doesn’t love a well-scented home? The crux of any interiors obsession begins

There’s not much better than a good old fashioned chocolate advent calendar to set the tone for Christmas.

Think: the LookFantastic

Me at LUAR?! I’m not worthy! Truly, that’s how I felt the second my ride pulled up to a remote street in Brooklyn. It was the most “my life is like a movie” I’ve ever felt. I say this because the crowd outside the venue was teeming to get in. There was an immediate energy

The ’70s called and they want their interiors back. Their flower power wall art, retro oak dressing tables, and their brightly-coloured glass trinkets. The mushroom lamps, the patterned wallpaper, and the unapologetically colourful upholstered furniture. These motifs have stepped right out of the mid-century of late, making a home on the TikTok and Instagram feeds

Contraception is an issue that affects almost every human being on this planet, and yet so often the responsibility of it falls to women.

Maisie Williams took matters into her own hands when it came to her Met Gala 2021 look, revealing that she designed her dressed for the biggest night on the fashion calendar.

Kid Cudi is back to wearing dress-like garments, but a new fella has emerged in something similar … an NBA player who’s kinda considered a man’s man, which is a huge statement. Russell Westbrook posted photos this weekend of himself in the Big Apple for NYFW — and he was wearing none other than a

Pumpkin spice latte season is upon us and – unless you’re trying your hand at TikTok’s latest homemade hack – you’ll likely be picking up a fancy coffee next time you’re on your way into the office. Just like old times, right? Except when you inevitably crash around 3pm, you can’t slope off to a

In a normal year, the first Monday in May is a holiday in the fashion world. That illustrious date is usually home to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s annual Costume Institute Gala (also known as the Met Gala).

How many times have you heard yourself say: ‘I could sleep for another 5 hours’, or ‘No matter how much sleep I get, it’s never enough’, or ‘I’m just knackered all the damn time‘? We hear you – and so does the rest of the world. Of 13,000 adults polled in 13 countries, 70% have

Much like inflatable furniture and tasselled combat trousers, sticky lip gloss is a product of the late nineties and early noughties that we’re not wishing back into our lives any time soon. That stuff was messy, irritating and more often than not smelled like an aromatic hybrid of cupcake and cheap plastic . But the

After becoming a little too comfortable wearing leggings every day, we’ve finally started to have fun with fashion again. And as we soak up the last days of summer and welcome the forthcoming change of seasons, we’re having fun getting away for weekend outings and celebrating special occasions, too.

Trends are cyclical, but if there were one beauty look our mums have warned us off since day one, it would be thin, plucked brows. Thing is, they’re back. And, we can’t decide if we’re mad or not. The look was a hit with ’90s supers like Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, as

Bubble braids have dominated red carpets across the globe this year, with GLAMOUR’s (unofficial) ‘Special Bubble Braid Recognition Award’ going to Griff – whose exorbitant, spherical bubble braids at this year’s Brit Awards had us all frantically googling how to achieve the look ourselves.

Kylie, who made the trip to NYC for Fashion Week, hit the town Thursday wearing a black sheer bodysuit with a lace design. It’s the second time in as many days we’ve seen the 24-year-old

Fine hair can be rather tricky to style. If you use much product, it becomes instantly greasy and impossibly tangled, but if you use too little, the hair is slippery and will lose its shape in seconds. Luckily, this summer was the season of the bob hair cut, which was a godsend for those with

It couldn’t be a coincidence that my very first New York Fashion Week experience was absolutely dripping in Rich Mom Energy. Sitting front row at Ulla Johnson was a complete dream. I’ve been a shameless superfan of the brand for years because of the genius juxtaposition of utility and femininity—each piece is more wearable and
