THE ICONIC JACKET: IS “CHANELY” REALLY A TERM?

I absolutely love this jacket from LK Bennett. It’s super chic, with a touch of Parisian style, almost like it’s Chanel-inspired. The design is elegant, featuring a boxy shape that fits well at the hips, textured tweed for a smart yet understated look, frayed trim for a vintage vibe, and polished buttons for a posh…

HAIR INSIGHTS: A DEEP DIVE INTO OLAPLEX BOND MAINTENANCE NO. 4 & 5

I was thrilled about this amazing shampoo and conditioner duo just after Christmas, but as usual, it took me a while to share my written review. Honestly, that’s actually a good thing because it allowed me to thoroughly test Olaplex No. 4 and No. 5 to an almost obsessive level. You might have already heard of…

While browsing the virtual shelves at Hush, looking for something else, I unexpectedly came across the fabulous Pelle coat. I was genuinely surprised to see it still available, especially since I guessed it would have sold out quickly. As of now, all sizes are in stock, and the coat, which is thick like a horse…

THE COAT OF TREASURED STYLE.

I finally discovered the perfect occasion for that luxurious silk Burberry trench coat I purchased a few years back in the States. I was persuaded to buy it by Sam from Pixiwoo, who has a knack for encouraging such indulgences. It made an excellent choice for my sister-in-law's autumn wedding, offering a smart, tailored look…

My absolute favorite and most comfortable ballet pumps are now on sale at Office for £39.20, down from £56. I've talked about these shoes before—they're soft, fit nicely, and look more expensive than they are. I recently bought a new pair in the "natural" color with a black toe cap, as well as the navy…

FACE DE-FUZZING: WHAT TO DO AND WHAT TO AVOID

When I showed my mom my new Finishing Touch Facial Hair Remover, she was pretty shocked. "You can't shave your face!" she said, "Why not just use nail scissors like everyone else?" Now, seriously, does anyone actually use nail scissors for facial hair? I didn't think so. It’s like trying to fight with a chainsaw—you’re…

SUNDAY CHATTER: FITNESS DOUBLE ENTENDRES

I've decided to experiment with online exercise videos, which might not have been the brightest idea. These videos present some interesting challenges, and I've stumbled upon an important personal question: do I, Ruth Crilly, have the humor of a teenager? Am I immature, or do others find themselves giggling at the cheeky commentary during these…
