Year: 2020

July 05, 2020 at 11:24AM The little black dress used to be synonymous with slinky, thigh-grazing, body-con frocks. These days, I’d argue that the LBD is more of a state of mind—it’s less overtly seductive but rather quietly alluring. Because not everyone wants, or even feels comfortable, wearing a look-at-me dress. (Although, of course, if that’s your thing, more power to you.)

And while being sent all of the latest beauty products is without a doubt a blessing, it does come with its issues. The main one being storage.  You see, the number of new beauty products that launch every single week is a bit overwhelming, and quite frankly, it’s all too easy to end up having more products than you do space (and face). It wasn’t until I started to have a spring clean of my own collection a couple of weeks ago that I realised my at-home beauty-organisation system simply wasn’t working for me. I had boxes, drawers, cupboards and shelves full of products with no rhyme or reason whatsoever. So, seeking inspiration, I reached out to some industry insiders (and some of beauty’s biggest names) to see if they would be happy to share their beauty-storage secrets and give us a sneak peek at the sorts of products they reach for every day. Luckily, they all obliged. Keep scrolling to see what they had to say. “Storing my beauty product is something I’m always trying to figure out. I think the first thing to do

July 05, 2020 at 06:08AM You know the drill: You pop on to Topshop‘s site to pick up a basic tee and end up with a basket full of dresses instead. We can’t blame you right now, as the high-street store’s offering is so good. But because no one’s wardrobe is big enough for the whole lot (there are currently over 628 dresses online right now), we’ve done the hard work for you and picked the hero styles you may want to consider adding to your closet. So what are the trends that Topshop is backing this season? From floral dresses and roomy smocks to long-sleeve numbers and sassy silhouettes, there’s something for everyone. We’ve got our eyes on the dresses that are versatile enough to carry right through to autumn, so many of the below styles will look just as good with sandals as they do with knee-high boots. It’s all about that cost per wear. Thankfully, there have been plenty of fashionable individuals who have been spotted in these winning frocks, and so we have more than enough inspiration to keep our wardrobes feeling fresh.  Keep scrolling to see our favourite spring-ready Topshop dresses.  Next up, the biggest S/S 20 fashion trends you need to know.  This post was originally published at an earlier date and has since been updated.
