A love letter to Lagerfeld: how Chanel has influenced feminist fashion and why every woman needs a 2.55 bag

It's been a while since I've posted (why does it feel like I've been starting every post like this lately?) but this time it's been for a very good reason: I've been working hard on realising exactly what kind of content I want to create and share with you all. I rebranded as Styled by Alice a few months ago as I wanted to use my website as a wider platform for my business, but also so I could really hone in on creating the style guide-type content that I enjoy so much. However, I've missed writing prose w[...]

Some have been exciting, while others left me feeling cold. But even the negative encounters provide plenty to learn from. You might not know this, but I used to work in influencer marketing. That means I've seen it[...]

Okay, it's not really a secret - we all know that social media isn't an accurate representation of our lives. And yet still we find ourselves stuck in a cycle of comparison and disappointment. As a blogger, I live my life through heavily edited photos, over-the-top outfits and power poses. In fact, these days we all do! And why wouldn't we? If we can use a filter, or a certain angle or po[...]

Forget FOMO, let’s talk about JOMO: the joy of missing out

I love working online. I love the freedom and flexibility it gives me, and I love that I'm able to earn money doing something I genuinely enjoy and often doesn't feel like a job. But the problem with living your whole life online is that it can be impossible to switch off. I've always been quite an independent and introverted person, so I struggle with the constant notifications on my phone. Recently I came across an interesting concept" JOMO, or the joy of missing out. Let me explain.read more[...]

The nine types of guy you’ll meet on dating apps

Ahh February - the month of love or, more realistically, the month those of us still on the shelf frantically try to climb off it by using all our spare moments on Tinder and Bumble. This got me thinking about all the different types of guy a single lady will encounter on dating apps, and it doesn't paint a promising picture! But, from the good, to the bad and the (literally) ugly, I thought this would be a good chance for us squirrel-friends to share our dating app experiences.read more[...]
