Published

Happy Friday! We’ve made it to the end of another week, and with the promise of a bright weekend on the horizon comes this week’s FROW News! Packed full of new launches, new brands to discover and a whole new way of shopping, plus a celebrity secret project reveal, we’ve got it all! So grab yourself a cuppa (or hot chocolate, considering the temperature) and dig into this week’s fashion, beauty and lifestyle news.

ANINE BING Introduces Nico

Is it even winter if you’re not planning on wearing anything in a houndstooth print? ANINE BING doesn’t seem to think so as they launch their latest accessory, the Nico bag. The label renowned for its pared-back yet cool aesthetic is always on our radar, and this simple yet sophisticated textural piece makes an effortless addition to your winter rotation – thanks to its wide silhouette and statement rounded handle. Roomy enough for all your daily essentials and yet compact enough to take you seamlessly from day to night, it’s the do-everything kind of bag that we can’t help but love! Plus, it’s named after the CEO of the brand, who also happens to be Anine Bing’s husband! How cute is that? Sling it over your shoulder or opt for a hand-held style – either way, you’re bound to look fabulous!

Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards’ Secret Project is Revealed

Ever since Perrie Edwards – 1/3 of the wonderful girlband Little Mix – sneakily updated her Instagram bio last year to include a link to the brand page Disora, eager fans have been wondering what’s in store. Finally, this week we saw the singer launch her own luxury fashion brand. Having discussed the move in a recent Instagram Live, the singer said that the brand’s name is an amalgamation of the words “disoriented aura”. The first capsule has been released this week, and it perfectly encapsulates Perrie’s style in its baggy, oversized aesthetic. Each capsule is being released as a limited run, so move quickly! Of course, we can assume there will be more in the future, so keep your eyes peeled.

Vagabond Gives Edwina A Welcome Makeover

Fans of statement footwear rejoice – Vagabond has given its coveted Edwina ankle boot a colourful update! Released this week, the new iterations see the smooth leather pieces rendered in bright pink and red with a contrasting sole and decorative stitching. Not forgetting what pushed the original Edwina pairs to stardom, the Swedish label ensures these stunning newbies come complete with the statement square toe and mid-rise that has become expected of the style. Wondering how to style something so colourful? We’re thinking of wearing them with bright blue jeans or mini dresses in green jewel tones. Whatever you choose, they’re a sure-fire way to inject some colour into your winter rotation!

StyleSwap Has Officially Launched

Hold up, we’re bringing you some super exciting news! StyleSwap – a new platform promoting circular fashion and sustainable practices – has launched this week! The brainchild of former designer Josephine Waddington, who felt disdain after seeing the wasteful practices of fast fashion throughout her career, has created an Instagram-like platform that allows consumers to buy and sell pre-loved goods. Infused with an AI-based technology that links you to pieces based on your personal style and body type, the website boasts all-new levels of personalisation and curation to the traditional second-hand shopping market. We can’t wait to use it!

TOMS Launch New Slippers

Now that the clocks have turned back and we look to all our favourite home comforts, and the new slippers from TOMS are bringing us so much joy! Introducing two new styles – Susie and Ezra – the brand proves it is here to make all our winters just that little bit more enjoyable. While Susie is crafted to a faux fur slider silhouette, Ezra is inspired by classic house slippers, offering you a full shoe with a convertible heel. Both ensure extreme comfort and warmth, so what are you waiting for?

Susie Slipper – £50.00
Ezra Slipper – £60.00

The Natural Skincare Brand You Need On Your Radar

Get ready for your best skin yet, let us introduce you to Q+A Skincare, the natural, clean and ingredient-focused brand that’s currently at the top of our must-have lists. Aptly titled Q+A because of the brand’s dedication to demystifying skincare, the brand understands that skincare products can often be confusing, with too many options and way too many ingredients. That’s why they prompt you to fill in a unique checklist that helps guide you to the products that will work best for your skin. Cruelty-free, vegan-friendly and UK-based, the brand ticks all our skincare boxes and, with products ranging from vitamin C serums to hyaluronic acid mists and collagen face creams, they’ve got something for everyone.

Leaf Scissors Adds To Their Sustainable Line-Up

Leaf Scissors is expanding its mission to produce and source the highest quality, sustainable hairdressing tools with its new collection of combs. Crafted from wheat straw, the combs are created from the by-product of wheat harvests – which is otherwise wastefully burnt. The production of wheat straw provides farmers with an additional source of income while reducing their carbon emissions, and the durable alternative to regular combs that helps reduce plastic consumption – it really is a win-win! Including a colour comb, detangling comb, tail comb and cutting comb, Leaf Scissor’s collection has everything you need to replace your plastic combs and make your haircare routine more sustainable.

£10.00

Heritage Store Is Bringing Us More Self-Care Skincare

Founded in 1969, Heritage Store works to provide soul-to-skin beauty for its legions of loyal fans, so we could not believe our luck when the brand finally landed on UK shores at the start of the year! Now, the label is releasing four more products for us to get our hands on, just in time for the months where our skin needs some extra love. Boasting clean and vegan formulas, the new products range from a Rosewater Moisturiser bursting with hydrating rose complex and hyaluronic acid to an Ancient Healing Clay which is bound to give you your complexion a healthy glow thanks to its mineral-rich formula. These celebrity-adored products, as well as a Blemish Toner and Rosewater Cleanser, will be available on Superdrug, and we strongly suggest adding them to your routine ASAP!

£13.49
£18.49
