I’ll Never Wear Leggings Again, Thanks To These WFH Summer Outfits
I have to admit, when we first started working from home, the idea of wearing leggings every day was very appealing. Taking the complexity out of getting dressed, it was a somewhat welcome reprieve from having to put together a cute, office or event-worthy outfit, each day. Though, as a Fashion Editor, the novelty soon wore off and I felt myself missing the routine of actively getting dressed. While I am not advocating for working in a ball gown (though there is a maxi dress in my mix that is pretty close) I do feel like dressing in a more polished way has its benefits, particularly when it comes to my productivity levels. With this new found awareness, recently I’ve started to put together outfits each morning that feel elevated yet still prioritise comfort, bec...
Beach Outfit Ideas You’ll Want To Copy, Whether You’re In Croatia Or Cornwall
If you’re anything like me, you’re probably itching to get to a beach right now. We’ve suffered through a long, stagnant, (socially-distanced) spring and now is the time for the weather to warm up so we can all take a much-deserved dip in the ocean. Or at the very least, a scenic beach pic to post on our Instagrams. Whether you’re able to get to the Mediterranean for some guaranteed good weather, or are opting for a beach trip a little closer to home, seawater is sure to do you some good. So, what to wear on a trip to the seaside? Social media is, as expected, brimming with ideas. From cover-ups that can double as dresses to oversized shirts and fluid shorts, there are so many fun ways to dress up your swimwear this season. Why not take a l...
Trust Us—This Will be the Most Sought-After Bag In 2021
It’s been a long time since last season’s fashion month in February and March. So you could forgive us for not remembering every little detail. However, there was one item that made a real lasting impact: Gucci’s new it bag. When Alessandro Michele presented his latest collection back in March almost every look featured the iconic Jackie bag, which means this bag is set to be the next cult accessory from the Italian fashion house. If you recognise the name, then it’s probably because technically this bag isn’t new. The handbag was initially named after Jackie Kennedy and has been a hero Gucci item for years but it’s been relaunched with a bit of a makeover. The Jackie 2.0 has the signature shoulder strap and gold clasp across the body of...
The Old Ram 1500 “Classic” Beats the Reaper Again, Lives for 2021
Going on two years since Ram introduced its latest 1500 pickup, the truckmaker will continue to offer the old 1500 to customers alongside the more modern one, according to Cars Direct. The Ram 1500 Classic will live to see the 2021 model year, when it will once again serve as the Ram’s low-cost model and erstwhile competitor (at least in terms of price) to the midsize pickups sold by Chevy, Ford, and Toyota. The previous-generation 1500 Classic does more than just fill in for the midsize truck Ram doesn’t sell, however. It’s the only current Ram pickup variant offered with a regular cab—the new 1500 is only available in four-door Quad and larger Crew Cab arrangements—and therefore also doubles as the 1500 family’s low-cost, commercial-grade option in base Tradesman ...
Prince Harry Used deadmau5-Inspired Secret Instagram Account While Dating Meghan Markle
A recently released biography may have revealed Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex‘s affinity for dance music. Authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand discovered that after his first date with Meghan, Duchess of Sussex—then Meghan Markle—he followed her on Instagram using a secret account. Interestingly enough, his username was inspired by iconic Canadian EDM producer deadmau5. In Finding Freedom, Scobie and Durand write that the couple dated in secret, but after their first encounter, she followed a user by the name of “SpikeyMau5.” The page was a private account that donned a profile picture of deadmau5’s iconic mau5head. They then go on to explain why Prince Harry chose that name and how it was inspired by one of his favorite artists and a...
My Favourite Stylish Women Just Told Me What’s on Their Autumn Wish Lists
As I type, the weather outside my window has gone from sunshine to torrential rain in less than an hour. It hasn’t been over 20 degrees in a week and I actually had to put the heating on this past Thursday. Granted, I do live in the north of England so you’ll forgive me then for what I’m about to say: I’m very much looking forward to autumn. Of course, with autumn comes some new wardrobe looks—I should caveat here that it doesn’t have to be new items, but rather a chance to style new outfits. For me, the colder months are great because you can transition a lot of your summer pieces by doing the thing that every fashion editor loves to talk about: layering. That said, there are always a few pieces that I like to invest in come the new season, nam...
2021 Kia K5 First Drive—Making Some Buzz
Kia is on a roll. It was just last year the automaker launched the all-new Telluride and a new Soul. This year, the all-new Seltos arrived in February, and now the K5 is landing in America. But these are not just any launches; the superior design, quality, and attention to detail in these new Kias stand out. The Telluride became the first Korean crossover to win MotorTrend‘s SUV of the Year, and the charming Soul went pretty far in our Car of the Year evaluations, getting a respectable third place behind the Chevrolet Corvette and Tesla Model 3. The 2021 Kia K5 is hoping to get the same kind of attention, and with its aggressive styling, two powertrain offerings, and the latest technology, it’s making some buzz. The K5 replaces the Optima as Kia’s midsize sedan. Executive...
Fortnite to Release Music-Reactive Skins in Honor of Forthcoming In-Game Diplo Concert
With numerous collaborations under his belt, Diplo is no stranger to the inescapable pop culture phenomenon that is Fortnite. In the past, he’s hosted several in-game performances as both a solo act and with his Major Lazer group. Most recently, he took the stage alongside Young Thug and Noah Cyrus as Thomas Wesley, his country alter-ego. Fortnite developer Epic Games has announced that Diplo will be returning to the virtual battleground for the last show of his digital residency this summer. Titled “Diplo Presents: Higher Ground,” the concert will focus on deep house instead of the multitude of other genres he has explored throughout his career. Any player who logs into Fortnite from July 30th at 8PM ET (5PM PDT) to&...
Play Zedd’s New Interactive Minecraft Rhythm Game, Courtesy of DoodleChaos
Following the release of their collaborative single “Funny,” Zedd and Jasmine Thompson joined forces with DoodleChaos, a YouTube creator who synchronizes his immersive content to popular music, for an interactive Minecraft rhythm game set to the beat of the radio hit.

Watch that clip below. DoodleChaos also posted instructions on how to play his...
These Celebrity-Approved Sandals Are Only £35
As far as fashionable footwear is concerned, the prominence of Birkenstock sandals is nothing new. The style has been around for years and is heralded as one of the comfiest options available. Celebrities even tend to agree, with everyone from Katie Holmes to Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid sporting the brand’s Arizona style. With a minimalist two-strap detail and the signature Birkenstock buckle, the shoe is easy to spot when worn alongside almost any ensemble. Though, despite its status as a celebrity favourite, Birkenstock Arizonas are surprisingly both easily attainable and affordable, with the labels ‘Eva’ style starting at just £35. While I have personally never purchased a pair, the footwear does also come highly recommended by severa...

Joe Jonas & Sophie Turner Welcome Their First Child Together
Congratulations to Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, who have welcomed their first child together! “Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas are delighted to announce the birth of their baby,” the couple said in a statement to Billboard. Acccording to TMZ, the baby girl arrived on July 22, and is named Willa. The couple kept things pretty quiet throughout the Game of Thrones actress’ pregnancy, never offering a statement to confirm they were expecting, though she was spotted out and about with a baby bump. On Friday, after Taylor Swift dropped her new album Folklore, fans speculated that she may have sent the couple a baby gift. On the song “Invisible String,” she sings, “Cold was the steel of my axe to grind/ For the boys who broke my heart/ Now I send the...
