The Best Black Coats Everyone Needs For Their Winter Wardrobe 2023

I’ll be honest. I’ve only recently got to grips with the importance of incorporating staple pieces into my wardrobe. White T-shirts, black jeans, camel blazers, they’re the true heroes of everyday dressing. If you’re anything like me, where better to start than black coats which you can throw over the top of any outfit?

It’s the perfect item to nail first time round so that you can be sure you’ll get maximum wear out of it, because believe me, you’ll reach for it time and time again before leav

Where To Buy Expensive Looking But Affordable Knitwear Winter 2023

I’ve finally given into the colder weather this week now that my morning commute to the office feels distinctly chillier. So, it’s safe to say that a simple top or T-shirt is no longer going to cut it. And with our favourite shop windows now adorned with gorgeous winter pieces, I’m declaring cosy season officially open!

A well-curated knit collection is essential, not just from a comfort perspective, but it’s also vital for a stylish winter wardrobe. Whether you’re looking to nail comfy off-dut

What's The Yacht Girl Summer Aesthetic? And How Can I Recreate It?

Spending the summer months cruising across the French Riviera on a yacht is something most of us can only dream of, but the good news is, you can still look as glam as Beyoncé in full Valentino while on her super yacht, no matter what your summer plans.

So, say goodbye to ‘hot girl summer’, it’s time to embrace her sexy and rich little sister: ‘yacht girl summer’. It’s all about living your best life – whatever that might look like –while looking and feeling like a million dollars. Classy, eleg

Expensive Looking Nails: Nail Art For The Quiet Luxury Trend

We all want to look expensive, and by that, I mean confident, elegant and effortlessly chic. And with the quiet luxury trend on everyone’s radar, why not work this aesthetic into your next manicure?

I love a classic frenchie with a twist, whether that’s by adding rhinestone or glitter, as well as the popular glazed doughnut look, which has been my all-time favourite manicure of late. And not to mention the naked nail trend, shown off by so many celebrities on the red carpet this year.

Dyson Corrale Review: My Honest View On The £400 Hair Straighteners

If you’re invested in haircare and love styling your hair, then you’re probably familiar with Dyson products (and their boujee price tags). Until recently, I’ve been happily plodding along with my very old Remington hairdryer and trusty ghd straighteners. But after deciding that I need to up my haircare game since having my hair bleached regularly (I get balayage every four months), I saved up for the viral Dyson Airwrap. I’ve been using it for about a year now and it’s drastically changed my li

Henley Regatta Outfits And What To Wear In Every Enclosure 2023

Henley Regatta is a mainstay of my summer calendar – I’m from Henley and I’ve gone every year since I was in sixth form. Eight years have passed and I’m still yet to miss a single regatta, although I can no longer survive going three days in a row like I could when I was 18. And as you can imagine, I’ve seen a lot, and I mean a lot in my time… and I don’t just mean fashion dramas… but that’s a story for another time.

One thing that hasn’t changed though (and I suspect it never will) is the stre

Best Perfume For Women: The Team's All-Time Favourite Fragrances

There are many conversations that take place in the Eliza office (many of which can’t be repeated, but that’s another story for another time), but one of our most hotly debated topics isn’t the celebrity gossip of the moment, or who had the worst dating story from the past weekend: no, we get overly animated about our favourite perfumes.

City Break Outfits To Pack For Every Travel Destination This Spring 2023

A holiday has a different meaning for everyone, but for me it usually means lying on the beach with a cocktail in hand (a pornstar martini, please). So, it might surprise you to know that I’ve booked three city breaks this year (shocked at myself too tbh). But it’s about time to do some exploring that doesn’t involve just walking from the bar to the sun lounger…

My first stop is Amsterdam in April, followed by Stockholm and Paris later in the year, and since you can’t exactly walk around a city

Flat, fine and boring: these are just a few words I would use to describe my hair. After taking a long look in the mirror most mornings, I’ve come to the conclusion that it lacks a certain oomph. It has almost zero volume and whenever I try to add in some movement with curls or waves, they almost instantly fall out.

But contrary to what you might have heard, you don’t need to part with a wodge of cash to find the one: high street lipsticks are making their mark.

We all have a beauty routine we can’t get enough of, whether it’s based around skin, brows or hair. For me it’s nails, and I’m obsessed with a pamper session.

For years I have had a regimented nailcare routine, which includes applying cuticle oil when I first wake up and just before I go to bed (twice a day for best results). My obsession has meant I’ve been on the lookout for the best cuticle oil ever since I started my routine.

Over the years, I’ve experimented with lots of different cuticle
