Princess Beatrice Just Got Married In a Vintage Dress Belonging to the Queen
The royal weddings we’ve seen over the past decade have included enormous guest lists and processions through crowds of thousands, however Princess Beatrice married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi yesterday in a small intimate ceremony at The Royal Chapel of All Saints in Windsor. It’s fitting for this small family ceremony that Beatrice’s wedding dress was such a sentimental choice—she wore a vintage Norman Hartnell embellished gown that belongs to her grandmother the Queen. Beatrice made some alterations to the vintage dress, working with Stewart Parvin and Angela Kelly to add delicate organza puff-sleeves underneath the existing statement straps and add a new trim on the skirt. The Queen first wore this evening gown in 1961 to a state dinner in Rome and then a year lat...
A Timeline of Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith & August Alsina’s ‘Entanglement’
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith came together for a Red Table Talk on Friday (July 10), but the table was turned when he interviewed his wife about recent relationship rumors with singer August Alsina. She cleared the air and described her previous relationship with the 27-year-old artist as an “entanglement.” Billboard compiled a timeline that unwinds what happened between the three of them. April 10, 2019 – Alsina denies his remix of Kehlani‘s “Nunya” has lyrics about Pinkett Smith. When the relationship rumors between the two sprung up last spring, he seemed to fuel the fire by dropping a remix of Kehlani’s “Nunya” track with Dom Kennedy from her 2019 EP While We Wait. The official video features his Animoji singing ...

14 Bucket Hats To Keep You Safe In The Sun This Summer
A few years ago, if you’d asked me about my opinion on buckets hats, the response wouldn’t have been a positive one. My only association with the item was primary school in Australia, where a strict “no hat, no play” rule was enforced daily, meaning that if you didn’t have a wide-brimmed hat atop your head, you weren’t allowed outside during recess or lunchtime. However, while the item might have played somewhat of an antagonist role in my youth, bucket hats seem to have had quite the makeover in recent years, going from dreaded item to fashion must-have. With cult brands like Ganni and Faithfull creating the item in a myriad of fun prints and contemporary colourways, buckets hats have become a hallmark of the stylish women’s summer wardrobe. Influencers from Lucy Williams t...
Everything Experts What You to Know About Looking After Your Hair Right Now
It has now been over two weeks since hair salons in the UK were allowed to open, but many of us are no closer to being able to get our hands on an appointment. And it’s not surprising really, given the circumstances. You see, a huge amount of people all want their hair cut/dyed in a short space of time. However, the last couple of weeks have been more interesting than ever for hair stylists. Not only has the routine of appointments had to drastically change in order to comply with new legislation, they have also been faced with new challenges when it comes to treatments themselves. “If you haven’t had a hair cut in over four months, the quality of the hair is definitely going to be poor. What tends to happen is that the hair starts to split up the hair shaft. Wispy ends tend...
The Ultimate French-Style Summer Top Is Back For 2020
I can confidently tell you that when it comes to style like some decades, some people never really go out of fashion. Jane Birkin is one of them. Held up as a bastion of chicness, the star’s style particularly during the late ’60s is a reference point we always go back to. Or, to put it more correctly, we never stray from. Exhibit A. is Birkin’s basket bag that she constantly toted around. From holidaying in the South of France to shopping, there are myriad shots of Birkin wearing the aforementioned style. No, she won’t have been the first person to wear this bag as a fashion statement but it’s indisputable, especially over the past few years, that the reappearance of wicker, basket, and woven bags is due to Birkin’s influence.&n...
Comparison Test: Is the VF Engineering Lamborghini Huracán Performante Better Than the Stock Version?
Years ago, I was driving in a car with John Hennessey on the drag strip behind his shop, located just west of Houston, Texas. The car was a then-new 2014 Porsche 991.1 Turbo S that I was in the process of driving across the country. I’d been racing against one of John’s huge-horsepower Cadillac CTS-V Coupes, and after about 20 battles (the AWD Porsche kept winning) I gave him a ride in the Turbo S. At the end of the strip I asked John if his company tunes Porsche Turbos like this one. He replied that he’d tune anything. Then I asked why on earth would anyone bother tuning such a ridiculously quick car. “Well Jonny,” he began in his infectious, homey drawl. “Two buddies buy the same car. One of them’s got to be faster than the other guy. It’s ...
Honda Stops Civic Si, Drops Civic Coupe, and Shuts Down Fit for 2021
Honda has announced changes to its lineup for 2021, some of which we’ve been expecting for a while—while some that are a bit of a surprise. The big news surrounds the Honda Civic, which is at the end of its current lifecycle. There’s an all-new 2022 Civic on the way, and so Honda is rearranging its compact-car stalwart’s lineup a bit in advance of that debut. But the Civic Si won’t hang around. It’s on pause—Honda’s very clear that it will return for the 2022 model year, but there won’t be a 2021. What’s not coming back is the Civic Coupe. The official word today is that the Civic Coupe will conclude production at the end of the 2020 model year. This shouldn’t be surprising—coupes are disappearing throughout the segment, and Civic was o...
Can This Dump Truck Do Wheelstands? And Why Would Someone Try?
It’s a 1950 Ford F-6 two-ton dump truck that does wheelies, and no one planned any of it. The Roadkill project truck known as Stubby Bob started with a surprise in episode 44 when Mike Finnegan bought the truck off a farm as a gag. We then shortened the wheelbase from 158 to 104 inches for no apparent reason and walked away from it when the brakes didn’t work well enough for a road trip. The truck carries a supercharged big-block Chevy aft of the cab and drives the rear wheels through a Gearstar 4L80E transmission and an antique boat V-drive we scored off the coolest dude ever, Slim at Slim’s Fab Farm, home of rad choppers and wheelstanding vintage vans. In one of our favorite episodes, we threw this all together and created the world’s most unlikely and treacherous...
Not So Ferrari Friday: Check Out This Wrecked Ferrari F40
It can happen to the best of us. You’re just lounging around one Friday afternoon and think to yourself, “you know what? I think I’ll take the Ferrari F40 for a spin.” As you do. Sadly, for this poor owner, Ferrari Friday was quite literally wrecked. It happened in Queensland, Australia and videos and photos of the crash quickly made the rounds on the internet. The damage is extensive, and it looks like there isn’t a single body panel that was left intact. According to The Drive, the owner was taking the car on one final shakedown before putting the car up for sale the very next day. Apparently, it was the first time the car had been driven in five years, and old tires are probably part of the reason for the crash. Driving anything on old rubber is a bad ...
Outfits That Prove It’s Still Chic to Wear Black in Summer
When it comes to discussing popular summer shades, the colour black is hardly the first that springs to mind. The dark hue not only attracts heat but is often synonymous with formal occasions or colder weather, rendering it practically redundant in the summertime. While it might not be the first colour on your list, I am of the mindset that an all-black ensemble will look chic no matter what season we are in. Surprisingly, several influencers have recently been posting images of themselves in monotone black outfits, further proving just how practical the shade can be in warm weather. From smocked puff-sleeve midi dresses to tie-detail skirts and tube tops, creating an interesting all-black look relies on selecting a unique silhouette.

Augustinus Bader Just Released a Cleanser and It’s Basically Liquid Gold
The truth is, the new cleanser is genuinely the most perfect cleanser my face has ever been blessed to. My concerns that the texture would be overly creamy and sumptuous were totally wrong. Actually, it’s a relatively runny, gel-like formula that has the silkiness and nourishment of a cream, but the deep cleansing abilities of a gel. With aloe vera leaf juice, cucumber extract and rose flower water, it’s calming, soothing and purifying, making it ideal for sensitive skin types like mine. However, most importantly, it’s formulated with TFC8 to deliver all of those high-grade vitamins and amino acids to boost cell renewal and repair. When massaged into damp skin, it creates a luxe-feeling lather that cleanses pores with ease and, once rinsed, leaves skin feeling healthy and, dare I say, norm...
