Welcome to My Little Corner of Fashion & Lifestyle

By Lila-Rose This is me, Lila — a journalism student, music lover, escape-room enthusiast and fashion girl who is still figuring out her own style. I’m always looking for my next adventure, whether that’s discovering a new place, finding a new favourite song or trying something completely different with my wardrobe. If you had asked me a few years ago whether I would be writing about fashion, I probably would have laughed. Fashion wasn’t always something I felt connected to. In fact, it took me a long time to figure out what I actually liked, what suited me and, most importantly, what felt like me . I’m still figuring that out — and I think that’s part of the fun.

Swipe again and you're being told that a completely different pair of jeans is now “out.” Fashion became faster. Much faster. The Pinterest era Pinterest felt almost like a fashion scrapbook. You could create your own little world of inspiration. Maybe one board was filled with Kate Moss in the 90s, another with Parisian street style and another wi...

The Heat Is On: How Fashion Brands Are Dressing the UK Heatwave

  By Lila-Rose  Credit: Marks and Spencers - Paisley V-Neck Midaxi skater dress  The British summer has arrived — and this time, it seems our wardrobes might actually have to keep up. With temperatures climbing and another heatwave putting summer dressing firmly back on the agenda, fashion brands are turning their attention to lightweight fabrics, floaty silhouettes and pieces designed to keep us cool while still looking put together. For an industry that thrives on seasonal trends, the heatwave presents the perfect opportunity to push summer collections — and brands are certainly making the most of it. Linen is having a moment If there is one fabric that has become almost synonymous with summer dressing, it is linen. From dresses and trousers to shirts and co-ords, linen has become one of the go-to choices for warmer weather. British Vogue recently described the linen dress as one of the pieces that can withstand the constant cycle of micro-trends, while Glamour UK has a...
