Met Gala 2021: The Only 2 Looks We Thought Were Worth Mentioning

IT'S BEEN A WHILE since we've covered the Met Gala—2014, in fact—(here and here), and once again in 2018. Of course, it was cancelled last year due to the pandemic, but this year, it was brought back and there was so much social media coverage of it, it's clear that everyone is relieved to have some happy distraction to report on for a change ...

A Few Outfits for the Transition from Summer to Autumn

We've already seen actual yellow leaves on the treetops and many more fallen ones on the ground. The air feels brisk and the clouds seem to hovering around more persistently these days, so there's no denying that autumn is well and truly on its way. Rather than be glum about it, we have decided to put together an inspiration board for you, of outfits (and the key pieces to buy) that will help you make the transition from these last fading summer days into the chilly mornings of autumn ...

Hair Talk: 3 Haircare Professionals Answer our Questions

For as long as I can remember, one of the most common compliments I've received is not, surprisingly, about my style, but about my hair. Over the years I have invested a lot of time and care into it and all I can say is that today my hair is healthy and I have managed to find a healthy routine for it ...

Things I Bought Recently that I Loved Vol. 01 | No. 01

I READ SOMETHING recently that stated that the sales of colour cosmetics dropped 33% in 2020, and that sales of cosmetics overall dropped by 15%. While I did buy a few new eyeshadow palettes during that time despite not having anywhere to go (perhaps it was for the odd Instagram selfie), I did actually reduce spending on these items ...

Summer Style Inspiration for your Upcoming Holidays

I will easily accept that I am one of those girls who takes fashion inspiration from the southwest of France and the surfer haven of Biarritz, where the style scene is all about a sportswear chic style and effortlessness in every single detail. But what has the most influence everywhere else in the world is without a doubt the Riviera style.

What are your challenges when it comes to shopping?

“What are your challenges when it comes to shopping?” This was a question I asked online the other day to try and find out the problems you are confronted with when you go shopping. There were a few clients who were the inspiration for this line of thought through the conversations we had in the changing rooms that probably make more sense now, after all the time we've had over the past year to reflect on our style and choices ...

Runway: Haute Couture Fall 2021

IT FELT STRANGE and wonderful to see fashion filling our social media feeds once again, after so much time away. Some shows were projected to our screens in the form of live video streams, some were artistic films, while others still were small live shows in front of Parisian audiences for the first time in ages. Fashion always makes us dream, which is a lovely thing during these uncertain times, and dream we did. Here are a few of our favourite settings, thoughts, and looks from the Fall 2021 haute couture season ...
