How we shop
We start with the look and what makes it work. The pieces come after: a steal, a sweet spot and a splurge.
- 01Style only, never gossip. We write about clothes, cut and colour, not private lives or bodies.
- 02Picks are pieces in the same spirit, not the exact items worn, and no celebrity endorses them.
- 03Links are affiliate links and marked as sponsored. Your price doesn’t change.
- 04We only name a designer when the look was publicly credited.
