I was 16, it was my first proper joband I was absolutely useless (not for the lack of trying). Imagine the sort of person who, after they wiped a cabinet down, it looked muckier than before – that was me (and still is to be fair). I was clumsy, lacked common sense and relentlessly said

You’ve already postponed once, and now you’re drastically trying to cut down numbers to make sure your wedding can go ahead in 2021. One thing you might want to consider to help is doing your own makeup. Sure, it’s not ideal (no one can replace a pro, right?), but achieving your perfect wedding makeup might

Dana Trippe (@TrippyDana) For musician and artist Jesse Jo Stark, 2020 was supposed to be the year. She’d been touring like crazy to promote her music, which sounds—in truly the best way—like a Creamsicle doused in whiskey and set aflame with a Zippo in a dive bar. She’d created a tiny line of merch called

Andrea Riseborough is a rare actress. She has shunned blockbuster movies for meaningful and varied roles in the likes of Birdman, Madonna’s W.E, Battle of The Sexes and Made In Dagenham, and she even – genuinely and caringly – takes the time at the start of an interview to ask how I am. It’s rarer

Pre-lockdown, I’d never really given my horoscope a second thought. Sure, I was aware of a few of my own Gemini tendencies (I’m constantly flitting between different tasks, I’m painfully indecisive and I’m a bit hesitant when it comes to love) – but I’d never really spent any time considering how my star sign might

When I heard the news that LVMH was dropping Fenty (the clothing brand) from its roster and putting it on sleep mode, (or a momentary coma with indefinite return), I flinched, but nothing automatically triggered me. I love me some Rih Rih, but I wasn’t going to have sleepless nights over the first lady of

You know those couples you scroll past on Instagram and think ‘goals’? I’m sure we’d all agree that Emma Louise and Ollie Proudlock personify that. With their hilarious TikToks, romantic movie nights and mouthwatering culinary adventures, the recently-married duo are living their best loved-up lives and we can’t even be mad because they’re so bloody

“Black is the renaissance of culture,” says Marcus Paul, one of the five Black creatives tapped by Sam Lobban, Nordstrom SVP Designer and New Concepts. Nordstrom honors Black culture and Black History Month through their newest pop-up shop, Concept 012: Black_Space. New Concepts is a platform that demonstrates Nordstrom’s commitment to bringing upcoming designers to

Making a house a home is a skill in itself. You lay down a cosy rug, add an indoor plant here and there and throw a knitted blanket across every possible piece of furniture. But somehow, something is still missing. Art. From sculpture, to photography, to oil paintings, art is one of the best ways

When thinking about doing up a room, we often consider lighting later on in the process – much later than say, painting, and the other ‘fun’ parts of decorating. Lighting is more functional in its purpose, sure, but that doesn’t mean that shopping for lighting has to be dull or that the lighting you choose

Your friends will be yelling, “Hail to the Chief” if you’re rocking the Barack Obamas — a rare Nike shoe specifically designed for the ex-Prez — and they’ll also know you’re rich as hell. Sotheby’s is hosting a one-of-a-kind sale of these Nike Hyperdunks in size 12.5 and designed for 44 back in 2009. Talk

With the release of the sixth season imminent, if you haven’t already indulged in the five previous seasons of the BBC series, Line of Duty, we suggest you do so ASAP. Jed Mercurio’s show follows a (fictional) team of detectives in Anti-Corruption Unit 12 who are trying to ‘knick bent coppers’ – i.e. corrupt police.

Dimitrios KambourisGetty Images It’s the end of an era. Nearly two years after debuting her clothing brand Fenty, housed under luxury conglomerate LVMH, Rihanna and LVMH are officially shutting down operations. Fenty marked the first luxury brand LVMH launched from the ground up since launching Christian Lacroix in 1987. But according to WWD, Fenty’s demise

Man, do we love a multitasker. We also like pretty hair that plays ball how we want it to. It’s for both these reasons that we’re partial to colour-correcting conditioners to keep our strands looking fresh, vibrant and beautiful at all times. Now that we’re spending more time at home, we’ve all become our own

Ask any beauty expert and they’ll all tell you the same thing – 2021 is all about the eyes.

The New York Times documentary Framing Britney has made one thing abundantly clear: There are many people who owe Britney Spears an apology. For years now fans have thought Diane Sawyer is one of them. Almost immediately following the release of Framing Britney on February 5, Justin Timberlake faced backlash over his treatment of Spears

Aimee Lou Wood is one of the most fearless – and likeable – actresses of her generation. Her star turn in Sex Education cemented her as a new screen kween and her no f**** given attitude to portraying sex on TV had us from her opening scene (yes, full-on sex).

Last year, Hollywood glamour came to a halt in the wake of a global pandemic. Gone were the days of couture gracing the elite days after a runway show. Ballgowns made-to-measure for A-listers gliding across the red carpet at a movie premiere ceased to exist. But that didn’t mean dressing up lost its luster—at least

The Queen’s Gambit was most of the most watched TV shows of 2020. The Netflix hit landed in October and quickly amassed huge viewing figures, with many of us hooked on the gripping story starring Anna Taylor-Joy as chess prodigy Beth Harmon. The show has achieved critical acclaim too, already receiving plenty of nominations this

If you’ve ever googled ‘how to get effortless hair’, it’s likely you’ll have virtually met George Northwood, the king of the undone ‘do. His knack of achieving the perfect wave that says polished, but not try hard, along with his skill at achieving the most flattering lob and fringe length, are just some of the

Breaking News SLAYYYYYYYY. Serena Williams killed the fashion game — and her opponent — in her first official match at the Australian Open … rockin’ a 1-legged catsuit in an awesome tribute to track legend Florence Griffith Joyner. The G.O.A.T. took the court Sunday against Laura Siegemund and just beat the daylights out of the

With IRL parties off the cards and Zoom get-togethers getting a *little* tired, how to celebrate a lockdown anniversary? Well, as with all the best birthdays, the celebrations should definitely last beyond just one day. One of Britain’s longest established luxury fashion brands, Mulberry, has a milestone birthday this year. Launched in 1971 by Roger

We’ve completed Netflix, we’ve rinsed Amazon Prime Video and now we are left wondering what to watch next. Well, if you missed season one of Servant on AppleTV+ you are in for a treat as the show has returned for a second season and the thriller is well, even more thrilling than it’s first outing.

Courtesy of Tiffany & Co. The first weekend in February holds importance in the sports world at large for one reason— the Super Bowl. Even if you’re not a super sports fan, you’ve probably found yourself at a tailgate party tuning in (or just watching the ads and halftime show). For those who had to

When the pandemic hit nearly a year ago, we saw a sudden shift in the way we dressed. Our ankle boots were swapped for slippers, jeans gave way to joggers and our oversized blazers became oversized (extra cosy) jumpers. Comfort dressing was in, everything else was out. However, as we ease into 2021, a new

We all know wearing a face covering is essential and we’ve very much embraced it with many of us curating a “mask wardrobe” of different patterns, colours and materials to use depending on the day. But there’s no denying that face coverings create a unique set of conundrums from steamy glasses, to breakouts and #maskne,

Bisexual+ people exist. In fact, it’s reported that they make up the biggest percentage of the queer community with 75% of young lesbian, gay or bisexual people identifying as bi (CDC’s 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey). Yet, our sexuality and existence is constantly undermined and misunderstood. February is LGBTQ+ history month, and as a proud
