Get ready for chilly shoulders throughout 2016 because try as you might to resist it, the off-the-shoulder trend is set to be big. That’s B.I.G. It’s being pushed by high-end labels and the high street is likely to fall in line.
Luxe salon haircare brand Kérastase has a fan base to envy and it could get even bigger if the new product it announced last week lives up to its claims. Called L’Incroyable Blowdry, it’s a “reshapeable heat lotion that makes blowdrys last longer by providing optimal shapeability and infinite options to style and restyle,”…
Christmas ads used to be all about selling product. Brands and retailers would dust off the Rat Pack Christmas album, add in some sparkly frocks and set the scene at a dinner party, office party or some other kind of party and there it was. Today though, those Christmas ads are spectaculars that have to…
Britons are going to go on a spending binge in the next four days that will blow the Black Friday long weekend’s spending out of the water. And online will benefit as well as physical stores, despite the delivery drawbridge getting precariously close to being pulled up.
