Let’s get one thing clear: A girl’s best friend isn’t diamonds; it’s a dress with pockets. We’re often deprived of pockets (like, we don’t want pocketless jeans, okay?), so finding a dress with some extra storage is one of life’s simple pleasures. And since they can still be hard to come by, we did some internet sleuthing so you don’t have to. From casual dresses with pockets to ones appropriate for the office and others you can add to your wedding guest dress line-up, we’ve rounded up our favorites. Scroll on to find a mix of casual mini and trendy...

Thanks To The GUAP Gala, Black British Creatives Are Given Their Flowers

What happens when you gather hundreds of talented Black British creatives and put them in one room? You get the GUAP Gala (think Met Gala meets BET Awards). For the second year running, the founders of GUAP, Ibrahim Kamara and Jide Adetunji, managed to put on the event of the year. GUAP started out as a magazine in 2015 but has since turned into a youth-led media platform and creative agency. When the invite-only gala was announced for the first time a year ago, there was a high level of interest in what the event would entail. Who would be...

Astrid & Miyu’s Jewellery Advent Calendars Are Here — This Is How To Get One

There seems to be two types of people around this time of year: those who welcome autumn with open arms, pulling on knitwear, trench coats and rain boots ready to stomp their way through piles of orange leaves (pumpkin spice latte in hand), and those who skip straight past the summer-to-winter transeasonal time with tunnel vision on Christmas. If the latter sounds like you, I’m in full festive support. In fact, I’ve already bought most of my Christmas gifts. But, if that sounds a little too eager, one thing we can all definitely get a head start on (without the...

22 Pieces Of Initial Jewellery (In Case You Forget Your Own Name)

For fashion-minded folk, jewellery is an integral part of self-expression. Whether you like the fanciness of baroque pearls or prefer to keep things playful with...

For fashion-minded folk, jewellery is an integral part of self-expression. Whether you like the fanciness of baroque pearls or prefer to keep things playful with resin rings, how you incorporate jewellery into an outfit says a lot about your personal style. It's one of the main reasons that people shy away from gifting jewellery, with many afraid that it's just too personal to pick for someone else. There is one type of jewellery that everyone enjoys, though: the kind that has your name on it. Personalised jewellery has enjoyed its fair share of iconic fashion moments over the years, from...

8 Jewellery Advent Calendars We’re Dreaming Of Opening

While it may be a little early to start thinking about Christmas (let’s not skip over Halloween just yet), the excitement of calendar shopping has come around already, and given their growing popularity, being prepared will only work in your favour if looking to get your hands on a fancier find. While we all love a supermarket advent calendar filled with our favourite choccies (who else has bought and ravaged at least one Sainsbury’s set?), it seems as though every brand out there is offering up their own advent calendar, too. From skincare and makeup-filled bounties to 24 days of...

Capsule wardrobes have a timeless appeal, but we really feel their pull during fall, when the transitional weather makes dressing feel chaotic and we all long for reliable staples that can see us through any event or temperature change.

Unless you’re a capital-F Fashion fan, fashion week trends can be more than a little daunting — not to mention unrealistic — for everyday wear. (See: the ultra mini skirts and sky-high platforms of the last few seasons.) Luckily for us, the latest London Fashion Week, which showcased spring/summer 2024 collections and wrapped up on Tuesday, has been one of the most wearable seasons yet. Sure, designers are still hung up on Y2K and early 2000s nostalgia, but they are saying goodbye to costumey-feeling, direct callbacks (butterfly tops, logomania), and hello to fresh, modern takes (we never thought we would...

When Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie premiered earlier this year, something magical happened; life as we knew it forever changed, effectively creating a new era in history— a pinker, sparklier chapter where we can all feel free to be our best and most empowered selves. As we continue into AB (the after Barbie era) it’s become exceedingly clear: this year belongs to Barbie. The film shattered box office records (surpassing a billion dollars!) and ushered in a new appreciation and admiration for all things Barbie. And yes, that includes your Halloween costume. If you are looking for a list of “unique...

Gabriela Berlingeri’s Diciembre Veintinueve Is More Than A Side Project

When 29-year-old jewelry designer Gabriela Berlingeri logged on Zoom for our interview, it felt like I already knew her. We had never actually met, but I’ve known of Berlingeri since my high school years in Puerto Rico, when the small San Juan-based social scene mingled virtually on Facebook in its early days. Since then, the world has also gotten to know her too: Berlingeri is the founder of Diciembre Veintinueve, a Puerto Rico-based jewelry company, who carries a unique niche fame. Searches for her name on TikTok have grown nearly 500 million views, while her Instagram account, which she opened...

Welcome to Refinery29’s So, How Is It Really? where we take a look at all of the topics that have the internet talking. In studying them up close, we answer the question of what it’s really like to try out a trend, a viral product, or an unexpected TikTok hack. This month, we review the APL TechLoom Dream, a just-launched performance sneaker from editor- and celebrity-favorite brand APL. I was never athletic as a kid — I was naturally injury-prone, and organized sports seemed like tempting fate — but as an adult, I’ve grown to love all things fitness. While I’m...

It's no secret that basic outfits instantly level up with the addition of a few accessories. For some, this might be a XXL hair scrunchie or even a bold pair of sunnies.

Paired perfectly with a curly updo or slicked back bun, we're letting our earrings do the talking and putting them front and centre. To take a...
