In partnership with our partners
Say hello to our brand new series ‘what to buy this week’ where I’ll be sharing the key fashion and beauty buys that both me and the Marie Claire Editors have been shopping, sharing and speaking about incessantly. Expect an edit of the items we really love each week from cult and up and coming designers to the high street. With a vintage gem or three from our Vintage Edit for good measure.
What to buy? Is a question I’m always asked by friends, colleagues and clients. As a celebrity stylist and fashion editor, I’m constantly searching and scanning the most coveted stores both online and in person. So you can rest assured that I won’t miss a thing. Whether it’s a piece that’s having a moment on Instagram or, really needs to. Expect to find it here.
This article is created in partnership with Aspinal of London, Missoma, MATCHESFASHION, Liberty, Free People, Pandora, Colombia.
With seasonal staples and styles that’ll get your heart racing. There will also be a focus on mindful consumption so you can shop with safe knowledge these pieces will look just as good in a year or two’s time, from cosy coats to flouncy summer dresses and everything in between.
Now that the world is open again and we’re able to fully embrace the colour, optimism and eclecticism that we’ve been craving for the past 18 months. Joyful clothing is an antidote to the comfortable, casual clothing we wrapped ourselves in last year. A vibrant return to brunches with the girls, dinner dates and in-person meetings.
