The Best Brands to Shop From If You Love Simple Sandals
Minimalists have been having a ball this year, quite frankly. You’d be forgiven for thinking that it’s just about Daniel Lee’s Bottega Veneta and The Row‘s pared-back aesthetic but it’s so much more than that. The less-is-more look has permeated throughout all of fashion (with the exception of those brands with bold design DNAs), and it’s easy to see why it’s so popular. A plainer, less fussy piece, whether it’s clothes or accessories, will work with everything else you already own. It’s a smart choice in many ways—it can help you shop less and ensure your wardrobe is as sustainable as possible. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with ...
Pat McGrath Labs Debuted the Buzziest Mascara of 2020—See Our Before-and-Afters
Rating: 3.5/5 stars Review: “I’d argue that mascara is one of the most finicky types of beauty products to review. Not only does everyone have different lashes (from length to density to curl), but also everyone has different lash goals. My ultimate mascara, for instance, gives me lots of volume, lots of curl, lots of length, and lots of definition. Basically, I want practically cartoonish, borderline Disney Princess–level lashes that completely pop out from my face. My lashes are naturally super long, and honestly, I don’t mind a little clumping. In fact, it’s kind of my signature look. However, I know that kind of drama is some people’s worst mascara nightmare. To each their own! “My long lashes and my eyes are probably my favorite feature, a...
Jaguar Land Rover Develops a No-Touch Touchscreen—No Joke!
Many people are wary of touchscreens nowadays, and Jaguar Land Rover has a solution we hope we’ll see sooner rather than later in the company’s sedans and SUVs. In partnership with the University of Cambridge, the automaker has developed a contactless touchscreen, which aims to reduce the spread of viruses and minimize driver distraction. The technology, which is now patented, uses artificial intelligence and sensors to predict a user’s target on the touchscreen, eliminating the need to physically touch the screen. Sensors can track gestures and eye gaze to find out what a user is looking for, speeding up the interaction. The automaker envisions predictive touch controlling everything from temperature to entertainment settings and navigation. Driving over bumpy roads can ...
Tesla’s Latest Software Update Just Made Autopilot Even Better
Tesla’s Autopilot, as well as other driver-assist tech from competing automakers, tends to divide the automotive-minded. Folks either view it as a feature that lulls drivers into a false sense of security or as the best thing since the dawn of the car. We, however, feel there’s a middle-ground that both acknowledges some drivers’ overreliance on such technologies while also acknowledging these features make the act of driving on freeways, and other boring stretches of road, a lot more palatable. That’s why we welcome and also note the potential shortcomings of Tesla’s latest update to Autopilot’s beta- phase Traffic Light and Stop Sign Control feature in its v10.2 (2020.24.6.9) software update. As of now, Teslas running this software “no longe...
Rihanna Is About to Launch Skincare— Here’s Everything You Need to Know
Although it still remains ambiguous as to the exact products she plans to launch, five specific names were mentioned in the application: Buff Ryder, Instant Reset, Fat Water, Flash Nap & Hydra Vizor (we are SO intrigued). From recent videos posted on social media, it looks likely there will at least be a foamy cleanser, serum and moisturiser in the mix. The other big piece of news we know, although it shouldn’t come as a surprise, is that Rihanna is planning on shaking up the game again with her products being aimed at both women and men. She’s even got ASAP Rocky and Lil Nas X starring in the launch campaign. Replying to a fan on twitter she said ‘Whoever told you skincare has a gender, LIED to you!’ Those shared bathroom cabinets are about to get a lot more streamlined and...
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...
