The 7 Fashion Aces Princess Diana Served at Wimbledon

If it were any other year, Wimbledon would currently be taking place in London. Though, if there’s anything we know to be true, it is that 2020 is no ordinary year. While this year’s tennis tournament may be cancelled, we can’t help but reminisce on the immaculate courtside style of Wimbledon’s past. Of course, you can’t talk about Wimbledon style without mentioning Princess Diana, as she always had fun with her tennis looks. Diana was a keen tennis player herself and often looked amazing on the court in her cycling short and pleated miniskirts. Her courtside looks are just as memorable, however, as she often watched Wimbledon in pastel suits, bold accessories and vibrant prints that we would look just as fabulous today. In particular, we love t...

13 Hand Sanitisers That Smell as Good as Perfume

For those of you who have been diligently applying hand sanitiser for years, you’re probably feeling pretty smug right now—especially considering all of the eye-rolls you encountered every time you took out your prized bottle before a meal. Well, as this is our new normal, we all need to get on board and befriend the not-so-humble-anymore hand sanitiser. There are obviously two camps of sanitiser: the usual medical-scented ones and the more luxe versions.  With frequent use, the strong alcohol scent can often seem a bit harsh, so we’ve done the legwork for you to find the best hand sanitisers that also smell pretty nice. Reminder: It’s recommended to go for an alcohol-based hand sanitiser that has at least 60% alcohol content, so keep an eye out for th...

Swede Emotion: The Koenigsegg Regera Takes the Spotlight in Action-Packed Video

Christian von Koenigsegg is clearly in need of a new creative outlet. The founder of the hypercar company that bears his name is seemingly so bored that he’s turned to making films about his cars. No doubt, Koenigsegg makes some stellar automobiles. But what we aren’t too sure of is Koenigsegg’s film-making chops. Still, with so many films on hiatus these days, we’re thankful for any kind of entertainment. Especially the type where super sports cars are burning a little rubber. The entire mini-film hinges on the idea that someone would want to steal the last Regera ever made—a car Koenigsegg the man seems quite protective of. Fearing the worst, the head of the company hides the final Regera away at what is a clearly fake military base and hires some p...

Here Is the Ford F-150 Raptor SUV That Ford Never Built

Custom shops often take, shall we say, artistic liberties when building unique cars, and the results aren’t always good (for evidence, take a gander at some of the show cars from the SEMA aftermarket bonanza). This custom Ford Everest is a welcome exception, however, and gives us an idea what a Ford F-150 Raptor pickup could have looked like as an SUV—had Ford decided to build one itself. First off, what’s a Ford Everest? Sold in markets outside the U.S., the Everest is a midsize body-on-frame SUV based on the same T6 truck platform as the global Ford Ranger pickup. The SUV has three rows, offering seating for up to seven passengers. Because it overlaps with the U.S.-market Ford Explorer, the Everest wasn’t brought over when the Ranger returned to our shores. However...

30 Items From Zara, & Other Stories and COS That Stopped Me in My Tracks

As life slowly returns to normal, pubs and restaurants reopen and international travel begins to look like an option again for some this year, I’m finding myself revisiting new-in sections with a newfound interest now that I am wearing more than just jogging bottoms. There are three high-street summer collections in particular that I’m really impressed with: Zara, & Other Stories and COS. All of these summer collections have plenty of throw-on appeal, making them realistic for my working-from-home set-up and low-key summer plans. They also all have an elevated and timeless appeal, meaning they’ll last for summers for years to come. Hero pieces I have my eye on include a pale-blue cotton midi dress from COS, a pair of sage-green shorts from Zara and chunky sc...

Here’s How to Do Knitwear in Summer, According to Alexa Chung

When it comes to summer clothing, knitwear is not the first thing that springs to mind. Though, if you live in the UK, it probably should be. With unpredictable weather, cooler days and grey skies as regular occurrences even in the summer months, knitwear is generally on high rotation.  Luckily, when it comes to knits and cardigans, there are plenty of options around that still manage to feel summer-appropriate, and this week, in particular, Alexa Chung has shown us three versions that are just that. As a part of her latest collection, Alexa has been sporting a few brightly coloured knits lately in vivid shades of green, blue and red. Paired with miniskirts and leather trousers, the knits still manage to feel relevant for the weather right now despit...

Stolen Toyota Being Chased By Police Crashes Into Stolen Buick, Everyone Arrested

Say you’re out and about in your Buick Regal. It’s stolen, but why let that stop you from taking a little morning post-July-4th cruise?

Toyota RAV4 Prime vs. RAV4 Hybrid: 5 Reasons to Splurge on the Prime and 5 More to Get the Hybrid
