Hello! Fashion Monthly – September 2019

HELLOFASHION.COM 57

Blogger Kelly Eastwood,

aka The London Chatter,

shares her adventures and

this month’s must-haves

Spa. The product that really stood out

for me (and was instantly purchased

to take home) was their Refining

Exfoliator, a gentle yet powerful blend

of apple, lemon and grape enzymes

with ultra-fine natural volcanic

exfoliants, which all help to accelerate

natural cell renewal without damaging

delicate skin. They had me at ‘natural

volcanic exfoliants’, to be fair!

I recently heard fashion maven

Jane Shepherdson discuss where she

believed the future of luxury fashion

lies... Her answer was in renting.

We all know that the fashion industry

vastly impacts our planet, so fashion

rental platforms, such as My Wardrobe

HQ and Hurr Collective, are seeking

to create a more sustainable – yet

fashionable – future by allowing access

to rent from an unlimited, carefully

curated designer online wardrobe

(at a fraction of their retail price).

What’s more, these initiatives offer

an opportunity to extend the lifeline

of our existing clothing and also earn

money from it. So, that’s new clothes,

for every social occasion, but without

n this AlexaChung vinyl hooded

coat, I will not be letting any

impending gloomy mornings or

random downpours rain on my

parade (or, more importantly,

ruin my lewwwk!). Waterproofing

and insulation aside, I love the pale

blue colour of this retro-style trench,

which can either be worn over

separates (a Maje snake-print skirt,

Jacquemus ribbed-knit top and

Sarah & Sebastian petal-shaped Rosa

pendants, in my case) or styled as

a dress, like it was on the runway

during London Fashion Week.

I discovered Uterqüe (Zara’s

lesser-known sister brand) during

the spring and was really impressed

at their purse-friendly sharp tailoring,

clean lines and wearable tones.

I recommend checking out the

jewellery, too – just how gorgeous are

these wear-with-everything, amber-

coloured agate dangly earrings?

During my recent stay at one of the

cottages at Daylesford Farm (which

were every bit as dreamy and relaxing

as you might imagine), I was treated to

a mini facial at the Bamford Haybarn
