Slip dresses, silk dresses and satin skirts already have shine, movement and a very particular softness. The wrong bag can look too practical beside them, while the right texture makes the whole outfit look polished. As a stylist, I would reach for beaded clutches, pearl and crystal evening bags, metallic finishes, satin bags, sculptural minaudières and a few small polished leather styles. One warning before falling in love with anything covered in crystals: check the edges and chain. Satin remembers every snag.

A stylist's edit of brown suede bags for autumn, work and everyday dressing. From laptop-friendly totes and roomy shoppers to smaller shoulder bags, I've focused on rich brown suede, useful proportions and styles that work with tailoring, knitwear, denim and autumn dresses.

Sundress season, and these are the ones I'd actually wear. Summer dresses and matching sets: linen co-ord sets, white midi dresses, butter yellow, satin maxi dresses and two-piece separates made for European summer and resort wear. A matching set is the most useful thing you can own in the heat, since you can wear the pieces apart as well as together. Nobody looks this pulled together by accident. For the woman who dresses well in the heat.

Sunglasses can change the whole impression of a face, so I look beyond the logo. After years as a stylist, these are the women’s sunglasses I would actually recommend, from vintage finds to modern cat-eye, oval, aviator and oversized frames. I will focus on the shape, lens colour, size and the details that make each pair worth buying.

I have a real weakness for e.l.f. because the brand keeps producing affordable beauty products that feel properly considered. Some products are simple and reliable, while others are genuinely more interesting than many prestige launches. This is my edit of the best e.l.f. products at Ulta, including the established makeup bestsellers, newer e.l.f. launches that look genuinely promising, skincare and the brushes I would recommend before buying another random beauty tool. I have included the shade or version I would choose where it matters.

Fall is when I get very selective. I’m Beatrice, a personal stylist, and this is my collection of fall jackets, boots, sweaters, dresses and everyday pieces for women for 2026. I look closely at fabric, cut, proportion and how easily something can work with the rest of a wardrobe. Expect beautiful classics, a few current trends and plenty of ideas for putting everything together.

These are the Ulta beauty products under $25 that I would happily recommend to someone who wants something good without wasting money. There is a mix of affordable makeup, useful skincare, hair products and everyday beauty essentials that are easy to use and worth buying again. Some are well-known beauty bestsellers, while others are simply reliable products that do their job properly.

The accessories that finish everything: small leather items, silk scarves and statement belts. Silk tied at the neck, the waist, the bag or through the hair; a good belt to cinch a coat; the sunglasses that carry a plain outfit. I've always thought accessories do the most work in a wardrobe, one piece shifts a whole look, and the right ones last far longer than the clothes. Pre-owned designer finds and everyday luxuries alike. For the woman styled by the details.

Cocktail dresses and evening gowns for weddings, black-tie events, galas, dinners and every invitation that deserves more than the usual black dress. As a stylist, I look for beautiful colour, strong proportions and details that still leave room for the woman wearing them. I will also tell you how I would style each dress, including the shoes, bag, jewellery and beauty choices that make the whole outfit work.

Skincare has plenty of exciting launches, but I’m much more interested in what still works after the excitement passes. These are the best skincare products I would genuinely recommend, chosen for quality, effectiveness and formulas that either passed the test of time or impressed me enough to deserve a place here. Expect excellent cleansers, serums, moisturisers, masks and treatments, with no product included just because everyone happens to be talking about it.

Costume jewellery, worn with total conviction. Statement necklaces, pearl chokers, chunky gold, cocktail earrings, enamel cuffs, brooches and layered chains, modern pieces from good houses, none of it precious, all of it chosen properly. Chanel settled this argument a century ago when she wore her faux pearls beside the real ones and refused to say which was which. What a piece costs has never been the same as what it's worth.

My favourite elegant high heels. From immaculate high-street finds to iconic designer collections, this curation celebrates the pointed pump, classic slingbacks, and the slender heel kept for a good evening. I care most about the line of a shoe, the quality of the leather, and the beauty of a striking silhouette. Not much here will be fleetingly trendy; these are timeless style statement pumps and functional high heels worn by a woman who doesn't need to prove anything.

I think having a few good and reliable bags solve many style issues. I know many people believe in capsule wardrobes and that one bag can solve many issues. It happens rarely. I'd rather have few good ones, than one that is made to overserve.

I adore the scent of a rose and therefore I want to share this love with you. Here are my favourite niche and luxury rose perfumes.
