I Just Found 19 Stylish Staples at Topshop
So what’s the secret to finding Topshop’s expensive-looking staples? I tend to keep an eye out for good fabrics and unusual silhouettes—think a sculptural sleeve or cool neckline. Obviously, you want your basics to fade into the background and act as a canvas for more statement items, but it’s these details that can fool people into thinking you’re decked out in designer. I also really rate the Topshop Boutique line for elevated basics, and this season, I’m all over its white tees and luxe joggers. (You know that anything you try on from this collection is going to feel premium.) All set? Scroll down to see and shop the Topshop staples that I’m loving this season.

I’m Secretly Excited for September So I Can Try This One Autumn Trend
I have spent the majority of this week researching autumn winter 2020 trends, and so have saved hundreds of images of catwalk looks that I think will impact how we get dressed over the next six months. There is one styling trick that is making me look forward to a drop in temperatures—even though I’m reluctant to actually admit this. Almost every major show on the schedule included blazers cinched in at the waist with a belt—either with a statement belt like the jewel-encrusted chains at Chanel or a skinny black leather belt that makes it a subtle accent to the look. At Prada the belts featured circular clasps and a prominent logo, and were used to play with proportions on the already oversized and boxy blazers. Nanushka’s belts ticked off another of the key trends f...
The One Accessory I Wear That Always Gets the Most Comments
After a 10-year hiatus, during which the teeny tiny frame reigned supreme, the super-sized ‘70s style has started to creep back into the public’s collective fashion consciousness. This is an accessory predicated on impact, and I am comfortable admitting that they are not the most ‘flattering’ style on me (yes, I have a small face) but, just like many items in my wardrobe, this is something I’m happy to sacrifice when an item is this fabulous. They’re big, bold, wonderfully throwback, and, to be quite honest, the one accessory that garners the most compliments, especially in a Zoom context. Like a statement shoe or OTT jewellery, ’70s sunnies are ideal for adding that extra something to an outfit. A short-slee...
Awesome Range Rover Coupe Restomod Is a Perfect Classic 4×4
The original two-door Land Rover Range Rover’s shape is a timeless and charming one, and this lovely restored SUV shows it off in all its glory. And it’s especially timeless because, in addition to the other modifications, it’s been back-dated to resemble an early 1970s model—including the body-colored C-pillar and early style silver bumpers. But the star of the show has to be the Tuscan Blue paint, available on early Range Rovers (and recently, on the Range Rover Fifty limited edition models). See all 17 photos The two-door Range Rovers look especially exotic and appealing to American eyes because they were never officially sold here. Later, four-door Range Rovers appeared, first through the grey market and later officially, but these two-doors remain a rare sight in Ame...
If You Want to Make Your Beauty Routine More Sustainable, This Is a Good Start
But first, when we discuss sustainable beauty products, what do we actually mean? Typically, the term is used to describe products using environmentally-friendly formulations, ethical production practices or packaging methods and, for sustainable cosmetic products in particular, the use of natural ingredients produced from renewable raw materials. Thankfully, finding these products is getting easier, thanks to a host of brands that are already pushing towards a more sustainable and greener planet.

I Practically Collect Candles—Here Are the 8 Brands I’m Currently Burning
My friends and family always tell me that I’m notoriously difficult to buy gifts for, which I adamantly refute. Sure, I’m quite particular about what I bring into my home, the items I add to my wardrobe, and the products I allow into my beauty bag, but give me a pair of gold-toned, not too big, not too small, hoop earrings, a nude eyeshadow palette (matte pigments only, please), a puff-sleeve dress in off-white, or perhaps a scallop-edged plate, and I’m a happy, happy lady. Okay, so after rattling off what turns out to be a very precise wish list, perhaps I am difficult to buy for. I always tell my nearest and dearest not to worry about presents—I’d much rather spend time with loved ones, anyway. Often this falls on deaf ears, but, as it tur...
15 Looks That Prove Chunky Highlights Are the Coolest Hair Trend of 2020
When it comes to switching up my hairstyle, I can get a little shy. In fact, I’ve had the same hairstyle (long, bleached, centre-parted) for nearly 10 years. And what’s really quite funny is that despite the fact my hair has looked the same that whole time, the techniques I find myself asking the hairstylist for have varied drastically over the years. First I was asking for ombré, then balayage and now it tends to be something along the lines of “babylights but kind of balayage and don’t forget the root stretch, please?” Yep, navigating the world of hair colour can be quite the minefield. And frankly, I’m a little fed up of the same old, same old. Luckily, there’s a new hair colour trend on the block and it’s set to spice things up a little. That’s right, it’s the ’90s chun...
100+ Junkyard Photos! Steve Magnante’s Decades-Long Quest for Hidden Treasure
If you watch Roadkill’s Junkyard Gold, the Barrett-Jackson live auctions, or have been to any of Dodge’s SRT clinics at Mopar events across the country, you may recognize Steve Magnante as the on-camera expert on all things muscle cars and performance. Magnante eats, breathes, and sleeps everything related to muscle cars, and if you ask him, he’ll tell you he’s never met a muscle car he didn’t like! He has been poking around junkyards all his life, but what you may not know about “Magneto”—as his friends call him—is that long before he stepped in front of a camera, he spent decades behind one. For a solid two decades, Magnante crawled through junkyards from coast to coast with a camera, documenting what he has found for many magazines over the year...
2021 Mitsubishi Mirage First Look: The Subcompact Lives
Once again sold in hatchback and sedan forms (the latter of which dons the G4 mark), the 2021 Mirage welcomes a fresh face that incorporates the latest Mitsubishi styling cues. While the Japanese automaker’s United States arm is mum on details about the updated car, Mitsubishi’s Canadian division notes the reworked Mirage includes items such as LED headlamps and taillamps (likely restricted to higher-end models), a 7.0-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility (0.5 inch larger than the current Mirage’s Apple CarPlay and Android Auto-compatible unit), and additional safety kit, including newly available features such as automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, a lane-departure warning system, and automatic high-beam headlamps....
How a $700 Beater Became the 11-Second Roadkill Crop Duster
Here’s an intro to the old school for the young generation of Roadkillers. This is the Crop Duster—a 440-engine-swapped 1970 Plymouth Duster that runs in the 11s—which was built for what today would be considered cheap for a vintage muscle car. It’s also the story of the resurrection of an old car that spent years wallowing in farm soil laden with sundry vegetal and animal residue. “You’re still going to have 20 grand duplicating that car,” David Freiburger says in his trademark deadpan. “That’s the problem. That’s expensive.” But insofar that cubic dollars can be replaced by fanatic hoarding, ingenuity, and elbow grease, this is it. “The key to the whole thing—the reason why people think it’s cool—is the six pack scoop, Cra...
Every Celebrity I Follow Is Sticking to These Swimwear Trends
Celebrities really aren’t like us. And this is particularly evident by their options for where they spend their summer. While we’re blowing up hastily-purchased Argos paddling pools to cool off for the one hot day we get in the UK, they have olympic-sized pools in expertly-landscaped gardens. We be able to do a staycation but will, inevitably, have to socially-distance ourselves on a crammed beach. But the A-list can “make do” with sojourns on a yacht, where it’s easy to be two metres away from literally everyone in the world. I’m not complaining though, I absolutely need a bit of vicarious living right now and I urge celebrities to share more of their incredibly lavish vacations. Not only does this give me an opportunity to ogle their lux...
