I feel compelled to spread the word about my new favourite thing: clothes swapping (Picture: Jen Barton Packer) From clothes and books, to kids’ toys, I consider myself a ‘second hand’ kind of consumer.  I always rewear, repair and ‘shop my closet’ ahead of buying anything new, and I have done for years. I’ve even dabbled in […]

I’ve always had a bit of what we’ll call “commitment issues” with my beauty products. In this career, I try so many products and consume so much information about products that it makes it feel hard to really stick with anything; even if something really wows me, it’s easy to convince myself that something else […]

Don’t let the article’s title or my fake tan fool you: I’m a Chicago girl through and through. It doesn’t feel like fall without restocking up on sweaters, and Christmas can’t come before it snows. But when I moved to sunny Los Angeles a few years ago, I was ready to give up hot chocolate, […]

The Queen secretly shared her views through her clothes and accesories (Picture: Getty) ‘Never complain, never explain’ was the Queen’s famous motto. The late monarch rarely talked about her feelings on public – and private – matters, but some believe she used her clothes and accessories to send subtle hints instead. From sentimental brooches to […]

When it comes to working out, finding something to wear is an uphill battle—especially when you’re plus-size. I’ve never been skinny, but I’ve always loved being active. Growing up, I played every sport offered at school, and without fail, I was always the biggest person on the team. While the uniforms the school doled out […]

‘As long as you feel good and are confident in what you wear, I’m all for it’ (Picture: @zofennings / Caters News) A mum has vowed to treat her school runs like a catwalk for a month to inspire other mums to dress the way they want without shame. After her six-year-old is fed and […]

A few weeks ago, when I was basking in the glory of the concept of a brand new year, something switched in me. I looked at my sweaters and leggings I’d been wearing on repeat for the past 10 months, and I decided it was time for—for lack of a better term—a bit of a […]

Today is likely to be an emotional one for the Royal Family, as today marks one year since The Queen died. For […]

The hunt for the perfect pair of jeans is a long and ongoing one, and the countless sweaty fitting room trips with a giant stack of jeans are something that, as women, will always be burned into our brains. Given the amount of times we’ve put on a pair of jeans only to be disappointed […]

It baffles me that Naomi Campbell can work with this company (Picture: PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA/AFP via Getty Images) As soon as I saw Naomi Campbell’s collaboration with fast-fashion brand PrettyLittleThing (PLT), I was disappointed but not surprised. This was just the latest in a stream of out-of-touch celebrities working with unsustainable brands that we’ve […]

2020 was a disappointing year for a multitude of reasons but, for me, the cherry on top was blindly hopping into the passenger seat of my sister’s car and absolutely crushing my designer sunglasses. As I picked up the pieces and stared back at my distorted reflection in the shattered lens, I (once again) muttered […]

‘PETA is shaking up Coach’s catwalk’ (Picture: REX / @coach PETA protesters walked the New York Fashion Week catwalk on Thursday night to demonstrate against the use of leather. One of the protesters at the Coach 2024 Ready-to-Wear fashion show stomped the runway holding a sign that read ‘Coach: Leather Kills”. Another was covered in […]
