This Under-the-Radar Brand Does the Best Throw-On Summer Dresses
Welcome to our newest editorial initiative, Who What Wear Spotlight, where we’ll be using our editorial platform, social following, and ad inventory to turn the spotlight on small businesses that need our support now more than ever. Each week, we’ll be highlighting a new fashion or beauty company. If you own a small brand and would like to be considered for the program, please apply here. With travel suspended for the foreseeable future, brands that focus on swimwear and holiday clothing will see an inevitable tumble in demand and have an even harder time ahead of them than all fashion brands. So for this Spotlight, we wanted to focus on a label in this category, and contemporary brand Belize’s throw-on dresses and gingham swimsuits will look just...

These Are the 12 Pieces I’d Buy From H&M’s New Studio Collection
While many of us might not be able to hit the beach this summer, H&M’s second Studio Collection might just bring a little wanderlust to your life this week. Continuing on from the first drop’s surfer vibes, the latest offering is packed full of summer-ready staples, including maxi dresses, shorts, shirts and kaftans all in vibrant shades that instantly recall a beach at sunset. Ok, so we might be wearing the bikini to sunbathe in the local park, but rest assured that these are sure to be warm weather heroes for many years to come. At the top of our wishlist is the finely pleated maxi dress, which will look just as good over a bikini with flip flops as it will with city-ready Birkenstocks and a layered white tee. We also have our eye on the shorts-and-sh...

5 Princess Diana Outfits I Can’t Wait to Copy at Home
Princess Diana is undoubtedly one of the world’s most talked-about style icons. From her voluminous 1980s wedding dress to the streamlined, minimalist gowns she donned in the early ’90s, almost everything Lady Di ever wore has been analysed and appreciated the world over. Though there is one aspect of Princess Diana’s wardrobe that has typically garnered much less attention: her off-duty outfits. Between the cycling shorts, oversize sweatshirts, straight-leg jeans and boxy blazers, Princess Diana’s casualwear choices would not look out of place in 2020. In fact, I’d happily wear many of her more casual looks today. The royal’s aesthetic was so timeless it manages to transcend decades, particularly given the fact that bike ...
2021 Buick Envision Offers a New Vision for the Brand’s Compact Crossover
Buick launched the Envision crossover in the United States for the 2016 model year, and almost half-a-decade later, the compact people mover is getting a complete overhaul. The 2021 Buick Envision goes on sale early next year with a more modern interior and a much more compelling exterior design. Buick claims the new Envision is lower and wider than before, and we can definitely see the change in these photos the brand released. The Envision features a wider grille with a more subtle wing element running through the Buick badge. Along with the new grille, the Envision’s front end sports sharper headlights, as well as bolder creases on the hood. Slimmer taillights are the focal point of a more streamlined rear-end design. A new Avenir trim is on the way, promising to bring more u...
A Dually Delight: Top 5 Craigslist Diesel Trucks in Birmingham
What started as a story about an ad for a gas-powered, four-wheel-drive 1994 Ford E-350 that has a presidential history has turned into a recurring topic over at TruckTrend.com. Great feedback on that article was the catalyst, and we now are five (counting Birmingham, Alabama) cities into what has become an epic search for diesel trucks and cars being sold through Craigslist around the U.S. One of the things that draws diesel enthusiasts to Craigslist is not only the wide variety of trucks and cars, but also engines, tools, and other related mechanical bits and pieces found in its pages. Very cool stuff, and thanks to negotiating, it usually can be had for a song. Thus far, we’ve highlighted oil-burners being sold privately in Miami, Charlotte, North Carolina, Boston, and the New Yor...
The One Beauty Product I Swear Gives Everyone Glowing Skin
I’ll be honest: There are so many different types of beauty products around these days that it can be genuinely hard to keep up—and that’s coming from someone who used to be a beauty editor. So I can only imagine how confusing the constant stream of apparently miracle products can be to someone who just wants a decent set of skincare and makeup bits to make them feel their best. I’m very much someone who doesn’t like to over complicate their beauty routine and I’m all about skincare before makeup. My theory? If you take care of your skin, then you won’t want to use as much makeup. Which is why the tinted moisturiser has been a constant in my makeup bag. Not only does it give my skin coverage for any blemishes, but it also makes it feel and look moisturised. You Deserve to Make Money Even W...
ASOS Has Created A Sage Maxi to Help You Dress Like Rachel Green This Summer
As far as iconic Friends outfits go, there are few looks like turned heads quite like Rachel‘s sage green maxi dress. After all, the look was the culmination of an entire episode where the storyline revolved around her outfit indecisiveness (and we’ve all been there. Am I right?). Though the episode was a part of the show’s third season, airing in 1996, there’s something still so relevant about the look today, as this exact shade of sage green has become one of the 2020’s most in-demand summer hues.

The Nail Colours the World’s Most Stylish Women Are Wearing Now
When the weather gets warmer, it’s fun to mix things up with your nail colours. Buh-bye to the dark-red, navy, and black polishes of the moody winter months. You served us well. Hello to the bright and bold colours of spring and summer. It’s your time to shine.

For inspiration, I asked some of the most stylish women we know for their favourite bright colours to wear on their nails. See what they said below, and add these to your wish list. You Deserve ...
I’ve Tried Basically Every Glossier Product—This Is What I Really Think
In fact, Glossier’s Milky Jelly Cleanser is the result of a post on Into the Gloss in which Weiss directly asked readers what their dream face wash would be like. This relationship between customer and brand has been a major disruption to the beauty industry as we know it—and consumers are beginning to expect this level of transparency from brands across the board. It’s one of the main reasons Glossier’s skin-first, makeup-second philosophy was such an instant hit with the Instagram generation. (Remember back in 2014 when was it was a landscape of HD brows and self-tanner?) Plus, there’s no denying that the brand’s aesthetic is millennial goals—who can argue with dewy skin, pale-pink packaging and free stickers with every order? When Glossier finally laun...
Surprise! 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Won’t Get Price Hike
In big news for Corvette fans: There will not be a price increase for the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette Stringray. It’s a silver lining in the production storm that battered the launch of the C8 that was reimagined as a mid-engine sports car after 50 years of longing by Vette enthusiasts. That means the base price for the 2021 Stingray coupe, which was the 2020 MotorTrend Car of the Year, remains at $59,995 while the convertible stays pat at $67,495. Other good news: You don’t have to get the Z51 performance package to enjoy GM’s excellent Magnetic Ride Control. It will be a standalone option, even on the base model, says Tadge Juechter, executive chief engineer for the Corvette. Customers will be able to order the 2021 C8s in late July. “We initially said we would start ...
