June 16, 2020 at 06:30AM There are very few high-street shops that manage to embody French-girl style as perfectly and effortlessly as Sézane. Over the years, the brand’s pretty pastel knits, laid-back crochet and iconic boxy shirts have come to epitomise French-girl style, and frankly, I couldn’t be more on-board with the whole aesthetic. It’s laid-back, easy and takes chic to a whole new level. However, with that being said, I was always aware that the brand was missing a pretty major trick.  While I admit that French-girl style really is an art form, if you ask me, it’s the French girl’s approach to beauty that inspires me the most every day. For a brand like Sézane, which embodies all of the chicest, most stylish things about the French way of life, to not have a beauty offering always upset me a little. For too long I have been itching to discover the secret behind the effortless French-girl glow, and I have always had an inkling that Sézane could be the brand to hold the answers. And now, finally, my wish has been granted. As pared-back and simple as one might expect, Sézane’s new beauty offering consists of bath, body and fragrance treats that look just as chic as they smell and feel. From an oily lip balm that keeps lips soft and supple all day long to a fresh, floral perfume that would impress even the hardest-to-please of noses, I’ve snapped up just about every beauty product Sézane has to offer. And

June 16, 2020 at 06:30AM Chances are, at some point over the past few months, you’ve looked into giving yourself a spa-level facial at home. And while nothing beats the feeling of a good, deep cleanse with a luxe, dreamy-smelling cleansing balm, if you really want to reap the benefits of a great at-home facial, you need to know the moves. That’s right, you know those crazy hand movements and massage techniques that facialists carry out while you’re either fighting off sleep or flitting in and out of states of relaxed consciousness? Yep, they’re super important if you want to see drastic anti-ageing results over time. “It’s often news to people that over 40 muscles make up the scaffolding of our face,” says Inge Theron, Founder of FaceGym. “Just like the muscles in the body, the more you move them, the more lifted, tightened and toned they become. Facial muscle stimulation keeps muscles firm, skin tint and stimulates the most important protein for keeping the face looking young, collagen,” she adds. In practical terms, using specific facial massage techniques is thought to help sculpt and lift certain areas of the face for a more youthful complexion. And the good news is that you can carry out the techniques at home on yourself. In fact, the more often you do it, the more impressive the results will be. Keep scrolling for best facial massage techniques for every problem area, according to the experts. As we get older, the skin on our necks can drastically change in appearance. In

June 16, 2020 at 06:30AM The last time I had my hair coloured was mid-December, and I was due a trip to the salon in the coming few weeks for a top-up. We’re now in mid-June, and while some hairdressing salons could be looking to open within the coming few weeks, I’m also aware that, judging by the number of waiting list alerts flying into my inbox, getting an actual appointment is going to be similar to trying to get hold of Glasto tickets. So with the fact that, realistically, I’m not going to be back in a salon chair for at least another month or two, I’ve been looking into different ways I can make my current colour situation work for me. I’ve been inundated by messages from friends and family begging me for any tips on what to do about their own roots too. And the truth is unless you’re brave enough to try a box dye (proceed with caution), there’s really very little you can do other than style the regrowth out as best you can. From plaits to buns and ponytails to flowing waves, keep scrolling for the very best ways to style hair in order to help disguise your roots. Especially when working from home, there really is no better get-stuff-done hairstyle. The topknot is the chic yet easy style that most of us will turn to in times of need. But it turns out a topknot doesn’t just have to be the thrown-up, scruffy style we know it to

June 16, 2020 at 06:04AM When it comes to our wardrobes, there are a few key items that tend to get all the limelight. Dresses, for example, are earmarked for life’s most special occasions, and each season, their trends are dissected, analysed and beloved by the masses. Sarah Jessica Parker built an entire career out of an affinity for shoes, not only playing a character who was obsessed with the item but also subsequently parlaying that into a footwear brand of her own. Handbags arguably garner the most hype. After all, who remembers the countless articles that arose after Kylie Jenner gave the world a glimpse into her bag closet?  Though today, we’re here to talk about one of the more underrated wardrobe staples: skirts. Personally, I think the item doesn’t get nearly enough credit, being one of the most versatile and trans-seasonal items around. In terms of skirt trends, this summer we’re seeing several styles emerge as It brands like Sir, Ganni, Faithfull and Rixo lead the way in distinctive design. Shirred skirts featuring ruched detailing around the waist and hips have been prominent across both designer and high-street labels, as have printed tie-front skirts thanks to Ganni’s popular design. Pleated skirts are back again, though this year’s iterations feature wide box pleats paired against contemporary prints. Logo skirts are also having a moment across both designer brands and contemporary labels, with typography being used in imaginative ways to create innovative printed pieces. Sure, skirts might not capture the zeitgeist quite like a pair of
