Last month, we travelled to NYC, one of Charli’s favourite cities, to shoot the Charli XCX for boohoo campaign. With a little help from our girl, Editor Jen Cox explores the Big Apple to give you a flavour of the city; what to eat see and do in New York. We think you should go and discover it yourself, but whatever you do, don’t leave without…
Be prepared to have all your mermaid fantasies met in this SRSLY magical restaurant where you can literally dine among the fish.
Spring’s sprung and all we wanna do is to be out and about enjoying it. There are all kinds of events to be planning but the real struggle is knowing what to wear.Forget last-minute outfit planning, here’s our guide to get you prepped – no matter your plans.
City Break
There’s nothing like discovering a new city with your squad but knowing what clothes to pack ain’t always that easy. We say keep it casual. Jeans tick all of the boxes – combine yours with a slogan tee and statement jacket for a comfy look – perf for travelling too. You’ll need a rucksack, because what adventurer is complete without one? Look effortless AF with this look.
Drinks
There’s something about the change in season and the lighter evenings that call for getting your girls together for ‘casual’ evening drinks. Now the weather isn’t so cold there’s loads more scope for your outfit choices. We LOVE layering for this look… why not pair a jumpsuit with a mesh bodysuit for extra fashion points. Werk it!
Gigs
We’ve all been rockin’ band tees like there no tomorrow but if you’re headed to an actual gig soon – look no further. Throw on a pair of black boots, your go-to skinnies and a bardot top. The off the shoulder style is perfect for helping you keep your cool in the crowds.
Prom
Got an end of term ball or prom lined up? Finding the perfect outfit can take weeks so it’s always good to start early. Show off your figure in this totally on trend mesh dress. You can’t go wrong with a lil’ embroidery! Finish a simple matching clutch. #promqueen
Festival
Yaaas girl it’s almost festival season. This means the cutest clothing – get your fringe on and rock suede and denim all day errr’day! We are hyping on these embellished jackets. Get your hands on one now to know you’ll be killin’ it on the day.
If, like us, you’ve been planning your summer since January, there’ll probably be a festival (or two) on your bucket list. Here are the one’s you need to have on your radar – see you in the field (or on the beach!)…

When it comes to holiday packing, I go through at least one week of stress and breakdowns. I mean, surely it’s not just me?! Every year the same…
Two weeks before
I’ve totally got this. Two weeks? That’s almost too much time to pack! I’m so organised this year.
