Day One
6:30 a.m. — Wake up and spend two minutes contemplating whether having a job is worth it. Make myself a cup of tea with oat milk and some Weetabix (Lidl’s version though) with soya milk, take my six morning vitamins and antidepressant, and say hi to my housemate J who is up and about to cycle to work.
Determining what to wear to work is never an easy choice, but it can be even more of a challenge when your job isn’t the typical 9-to-5. In a bid to shake up our own work wardrobes, we sought out the advice of some of the best dressed women working today. Next up is Anna Foster, the stylist, designer, and founder of sustainable luxury brand E.L.V. Denim. As Anna balances motherhood, running a business, and encouraging us to shop more consciously, we asked her what workwear means to her and which key pieces she relies on for each of the (very) different roles she plays day-to-day.

It’s common knowledge that sneakers go beyond the realm of workout gear. They’re a staple in our day-to-day wardrobes that make for stylish and comfortable walking shoes. But unlike boots or summer sandals, sneakers are a versatile year-round option that complement various outfits. For instance, nothing gives a slip dress a smart-casual twist quite like a pair of crisp white sneakers. And that’s just one example of how to style them; a quick search on Pinterest will easily yield hundreds of ensembles worth screenshotting and recreating ASAP.
It’s easy to assume that, as a beauty editor, I enjoy experimenting with makeup. However anyone who knows me well will tell you that my everyday makeup routine is actually fairly low-key, minimal, and natural-looking. Now don’t get me wrong, given the opportunity and the occasion I will still dabble with a bright eyeliner, a smoky eye, or a full-coverage base, but on the whole, I do tend to play it safe and stick to products that simply serve to subtly enhance my natural features.
