Chunky cable-knits, fisherman jumpers and heavy woolly sweaters are what winter is all about. It doesn’t get much better than cosying down with a brew, a book and a log fire (whack this up on full screen if you don’t have one). But, whilst your curl your fingers round that cup of cocoa, you might

We all love a good Christmas movie but for so long they have been the winter wonderland of heteronormative narratives. But The Happiest Season has arrived in our Christmas stocking to change that with a LGBTQ+ couple at it’s festive centre. In order to see this embed, you must give consent to Social Media cookies.
If you’re the type to follow hypebeast meme accounts, then the collaboration you’ve been waiting is here. Matthew M. Williams, who was named the creative director of Givenchy earlier this year, presented his first collection for the Parisian house in September 2020. And while spring-summer runways typically drop in stores around February, the “Teaser” capsule
Rihanna once again looks uh-mazing modelling her latest lingerie collection for Savage x Fenty. Seriously, from dominating the music charts, to launching an absolute sell-out inclusive beauty line, and now dropping incredible collection after collection of her (equally inclusive and diverse) lingerie line, is there anything this woman can’t do?! This latest drop – her ‘Icy’
In today’s fast-paced world, the most provocative individuals among us tend to be the multi-hyphenates, and in the case of author-motivator-model-entrepreneur-actress (and proud New Yorker) Sharon “Champagne” Terry, covering all the bases has never been optional. Champagne’s most recent work, a pair of urban fiction releases in The Goddess of Lust, Love & Infatuation Part 1 and Blissful
Back when the FLARE team shared an IRL office space (RIP to my abandoned aloe plant…), my mornings looked a little something like this: rush to get up the elevators in time for our 8:30 a.m. daily meeting (for which, I admittedly showed up to at approx. 8:32 most days), hit the button on my
Remember in Sex In The City when Samantha returned from Hollywood and announced “three months of driving in L.A. and I forgot how to use my f*cking legs”? We’re starting to see where she was coming from. You know that thing we used to use on our hair? Spiky. On a pole. Got rid of
If you’ve seen the ‘shark teeth’ trend on TikTok, you’re probably starting to wonder (or panic) about what it really means to get a perfect smile these days. The trend is all about TikTokers sharing their ‘pre-veneers’ smiles after having their natural teeth shaved down to pegs in preparation for a new cosmetic smile. But
Hallelujah! Salons we be reopening their doors this week and our hair is thirsty for a new season freshen up as we venture out of lockdown hibernation. Whilst December won’t look like normal this year (we miss you, office Christmas parties), there will be a certain amount of face time with friends and family –
Parachute At the risk of being overzealous, the holidays are finally here. Many retailers are getting a head-start on the festivities by starting their Cyber Week sales as early as, well, right now. Take Parachute, for example. Now through November 30, the direct-to-consumer brand is taking 20 percent off its bedding, bath essentials, and home
In case you haven’t been counting down the days, there are precisely 2 left (less than 48 hours!) of Lockdown 2.0. And there’s a lot to look forward to – eating in restaurants again, being able to sort out your lockdown hair, and getting Christmas shopping done in person. Depending on which tier you fall
There are many reasons why many of us are finding Lockdown 2.0 to be worse than the first lockdown. For starters, the novelty of working from home has worn off. Back in March, we were discovering so many new aspects of a life in lockdown (Zoom quizzes! Banana bread! Thursday clapping!) and we were living
Pulling from country, classical and even some 1960s pop, the colorful songs on Canyon Drive can make the listener look through the world through a dream, rosy-colored pair of glasses. Canyon Drive, the new album from Los Angeles’ Lisa Marie Claire sounds warm and inviting even when she’s singing of past heartache. You can’t help
Though it’s supposed to be ‘the most wonderful time of the year’, many of us find Christmas tough on our mental health. In fact, a quarter of the population finds Christmas more challenging than the rest of the year, while about one in four of us have struggled with anxiety or depression over the festive
Obviously, what each woman wants from sex is individual. Some want more of it, some want less of it. Some love a duet, others would much rather go solo. But one thing’s for certain. This year has changed our relationship with sex. We’re far more likely to seek out sexual wellness online now, than we
Everlane is about to kick off its massive Black Friday sale. From November 27 through November 30, the brand is taking 20 to 40 percent off select merchandise.

While most major fashion retailers kicked off their Black Friday celebrations *well* in advance of the shopping holiday this year (in a bid to encourage more considered purchases/tempt us for as long as they possibly could), H&M kept their cards seriously close to their chests until the very last moment. We waited and we waited,
Because the only piece of clothing people will see this year is your coat Well folks, it’s that time of year again. Black Friday is here and you know what that means: an opportunity to disappoint your bank account! But stop before you you feel *too* guilty about shopping (especially local), especially if what you
Eczema is one of the most frustrating, complex and misunderstood skin conditions out there. Since mild versions can manifest as a faint rash or a patch of dry skin, eczema can frequently be discounted and minimised by those who don’t understand the true misery and spectrum of the condition. “I saw an article this morning
Exclusive Details Nelly‘s custom-made dance shoes were all the rage on this season of “Dancing with the Stars,” and now they’re going to a great cause — helping young women who are survivors of human trafficking. As we told you … the rapper wowed ‘DWTS’ fans and the judges with his slick moves and his
Maybe it’s just us but we’re starting to feel just *a little* bit hopeful for how 2021 will turn out. With an end to lockdown in sight, staycations back on the cards, and just the general optimism a new year tends to bring, it doesn’t feel too crazy to say we are starting to hope
Shorter working time should be at the heart of post-pandemic recovery. That’s the message of The Case for a Four Day Week, a new book that sets out why reduced working time is good for human wellbeing, for the natural environment and for building a prosperous economy – and shows how it can be done.
The most wonderful time of the year is finally here—and, no, I’m not just talking about the holidays. Right now, a bunch of retailers are hosting huge sales, making it a great time to stock up on clothes, skincare, and so much more. If you want to treat yourself to a new gadget, look no
We haven’t stepped foot inside a Zara store for oh, 22 days now, but who’s even counting? And so, mega discounts on all of the AW20 must-haves for Black Friday seem even sweeter than usual. Even though you’re supposed to be WFH and you’ve got *another* Zoom catch-up within the hour, this year there’s no-one

News flash: Being pregnant is HARD. Besides the hormones surging around your body, you’ll find yourself struggling to sleep, having to give up your favourite rosé and French cheese, forgoing your nightly retinol.. Not to mention all the changes that are happening to your body. Whatever your fertility journey has been and however excited you
There’s no better time than a national lockdown to test out the coolest new skincare/makeup/hair trends and snazzy innovations in beauty tech from the comfort of your own home. That said, there’s nothing more frustrating than spending upwards of £100 on a snazzy new hair treatment or at-home facial system, only to find out it
This year’s Black Friday line-up is a *really* good one. We’re talking 40% off Urban Decay Naked eyeshadow palettes (!), up to 50% off designer fashion at Net-A-Porter and discounts on everything on ASOS’ website.

If we were to name any high street shop that epitomises British beauty, it’d have to be Boots. It’s been there since we first scoured the aisles with our mates and snuck Miss Sporty’s clear mascara past our teachers. And, as we’ve grown, it’s grown too, becoming more extensive, more inclusive, and bang on trend
