5 Products We Should All Be Using This Summer, According to Skin Experts
With the British weather currently doing a classic yo-yo between intense sunshine and frosty gales, and basically nothing in between, it might seem somewhat premature to be talking about summer skincare essentials. However, I’m optimistic that sunshine season will be sticking around on a more permanent basis soon and with more and more of us spending time outdoors whatever the weather, it makes sense to be overly prepared when it comes to caring for our skin—especially as summer can bring with it a whole host of unexpected changes for our complexions. “The summer bring with it a desire to be outdoors more, enjoy sports outside, sit by windows and enjoy the warmth and light from the sun [and] this results in an increase in radiation to the skin,” e...

Look Inside Marshmello’s Lavish $10.8 Million Mulholland Estates Mansion
What do Marshmello, Christina Aguilera, Kendall Jenner, and Paris Hilton have in common? They all own homes in the same neighborhood, a fact that recently came to light after Dirt revealed the helmeted hitmaker to be the mystery buyer of a lavish $10.8 million Mulholland Estates mansion purchased last summer. Redfin The 7,818-square feet home was built in 1992 and designed by Richard Landry, a celebrity architect affectionately known as “King of the Megamansion.” With five bedrooms and seven bathrooms, it was featured on Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing by the seller’s agents, the famed Altman Brothers team of powerhouse real estate company Douglas Elliman. Glass front doors open into a cavernous foyer with marble floors. To the right...
Sign and Drive: 2021 Infiniti Q50 Adds Special Signature Edition
Is the Infiniti Q50 the Lincoln Town Car of 2021? Hear us out for a second. Like the long-gone Town Car, the Q50 packs a rear-wheel-drive punch under sedan skin. It also now includes a “Signature” trim line. Sure, Infiniti technically calls its latest Q50 model the Signature Edition, but the point stands: both of these wildly different cars include (or in the case of the Lincoln, included) a variant that gives a nod to the ol’ John Hancock. Unlike the boaty Town Car Signature trim line of yore, the Q50 Signature Edition is a “limited production model,” per Infiniti. Alas, the Japanese luxury brand failed to share just how many Q50 Signature Editions it plans to produce. Regardless, every Signature Edition uses the $48,725 Q50 Sensory trim as a base, to which I...
Summer Road Trip Plans? They Could Be Impacted By These Looming Problems
The second summer of the pandemic is almost here, but the outlook is totally different this time around. With millions of Americans vaccinated and eager to get out of their immediate and unchanging surroundings, there’s a lot of anticipation of an almost normal travel season ahead. And there will be frustration, too. There are still pandemic-related restrictions and precautions, but more to the point, pandemic-related shortages and supply chain issues are going to impact all of us. We’re talking about gasoline shortages, scarce rental cars, and vehicle production delays, among other things. It’s going to jam up our summer plans, to some degree, and managing expectations against pent-up travel demand is going to be important. Let’s lay out what we know about these sh...

5 Trending Colours H&M Is Backing in a Big Way This Spring
H&M has proven it’s the high-street brand to beat over the last 12 months, with countless pieces achieving cult status. It’s actually been frustrating for us editor types, whose job is to bring you the best new buys before they sell out, as they’d often be gone before we got the chance. So we’ve had to up our game. We find ourselves checking H&M’s new-in section almost by the hour on the off chance that we missed the next big thing on our previous scroll. In doing so, we’ve been able to ascertain a few things. One, shackets are still proving popular for the brand, as it seems to have five new styles every time we check. Two, oversize dresses are going to be just as prevalent for the season ahead as they were las...
3 Affordable New-In Pieces That I’ll Wear Every Single Summer
When it comes to shopping, I live by one rule and one rule only: that whatever I buy has to be worn on repeat for many seasons and years to come. In order to fulfill this criteria, I therefore have to fill my wardrobe with items that I truly love and feel excited by—whether it’s a moth-eaten psychedelic printed dress from the ’70s (yes, I have one of those and no, I can’t part with it) or a chic little find from the high street. In terms of affordable pieces that have stood the test of time in my closet, I have a few choice items from Warehouse that I continue to pull out, and it has made this store one of my more trusted go-tos when it comes to affordable bits I know I’ll get plenty of use of it. There’s a striped and knitted jumper and skirt co-ord...
Off-Roading a Lifted Chevy Caprice: Only On Roadkill
Can you think of a better ride—a ’99 Chevy Caprice—to a bar in the middle of the desert? Why are inappropriate cars the most fun? You’d think with a lifetime of off-road driving behind him, David Freiburger could come up with a better choice for a desert-bombing vehicle than a lifted Chevy Caprice on 26-inch wheels, but this is Roadkill, and Mike Finnegan has the same sensibilities. Let the Bubblicious Bunker Bar off-road adventure begin! It might surprise you to learn that Bubblicious—as Finnegan named it for the Hillarious Car Shootout last season—hasn’t breathed nitrous since joining the Roadkill fleet. Mind-blowing, right? The two man-children that strap a bottle to every piece of junk they can haven’t gassed the V-8 in this Caprice yet? What’s even more c...
2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE Drive: When Sporty Meets Efficiency
Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Full Overview The 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid delivers more power and better fuel economy than its gas-powered stablemate. It also drives better, is a bit quicker, and doesn’t compromise interior space. The hybrid-exclusive XSE displays more aggressive styling compared to the other trims, and it delivers decent value. We recently spent a week driving a 2021 RAV4 Hybrid XSE during a recent visit to Houston, and although there are points where it can improve, this particular RAV4 checks many of the boxes customers are looking for in a compact SUV, making it an attractive option in a competitive segment. 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE: The Good The most attractive aspect of the RAV4 Hybrid is its fuel economy: 41/38/40 mpg city/highway/combined. Those numbers are the be...
I’ve Analysed It, and This Is the French-Girl Summer Uniform
Before you read anything, I think you need to know that what we imagine to be French summer style is a bit of a cliché, and you know what? I’m okay with that. There is a lot that I love about French fashion. It’s elegant, classic, and a little bit sassy, but it’s not known for being experimental. And who says that you need to be completely out-there when it comes to your summer wardrobe? If it ain’t broke, and all that. When it comes to dressing for the warmer months, I always see the same key pieces cropping up on Parisian women. I’ve analysed the style of several of my favourite French influencers and worked out that there are nine items that are pretty much guaranteed to make an appearance during the warmer months. From the perfect white T-shirt to a slinky...
