H&M Calls This the Most Flattering and Comfortable Swimsuit Ever

June 07, 2020 at 05:31AM For someone like me who’d rather spend money on jeans and shoes than swimsuits, affordable brands like H&M are high on my swimwear list. Just like the rest of its offerings, the store is regularly adding new swimsuits to its inventory, but it can be tricky to choose the right swimsuit sight unseen. H&M is helping out with that. Recently, the brand sent out an email entirely dedicated to one particular swimsuit. The subject line of the email was “The most flattering swimsuit—ever.” Obviously a bold statement, but of course I was convinced to open the email. The swimsuit in question is a new collection of pastel-coloured crinkled-fabric swimsuits, which H&M also called out as being comfortable, and it looks it. The crinkled-fabric swimsuits start at just £10 for the one-piece and top out at £25 for the high-leg bikini. Shop the various options below as well as a few other swimsuits I couldn’t resist including. Shop the matching Brazilian Bikini Bottoms (£13). Shop the matching Brazilian Bikini Bottoms (£10).

This Is How My Favourite Fashion People Make Their Houses Look So Chic

June 07, 2020 at 05:00AM When you decide to redecorate, whether you’re in a rented place or one you own, it can feel overwhelming. For months, I have been saving random images, screenshots and torn out pictures from home design magazines to get a good idea of what I want my house to look like. It’s fun, of course, but it’s also starting to get a bit confusing about what I really want. Happily, it turns out there are plenty of fashion influencers who have recently redecorated or just have impeccable taste when it comes to interiors and who I’m stealing ideas from. There’s Laura Jackson, who has the most exceptional eye for detail when it comes to finding just the right vintage piece—she has a more maximalist style but it feels super homey. Then there’s the opposite in the form of a more minimalist approach championed by Monikh Dale and Brittany Bathgate. Here, you’ll find every home-design rule I’ve learnt from following these influencers (as well as a few others), and which pieces are guaranteed to add a bit of extra oomph to your home… I’m starting with the hardest first, because bathrooms can be so difficult to decorate. You want it to be a place of serenity, but that doesn’t mean you have to stick to the classic white. Take a tip from Laura Jackson and add in plants, candles and prints to give it more life. Erica Davies has the most incredible hallway. Whether that’s opting for dark doors to
