Joe Jonas Is Lending a Hand (Or 250) To Americans Anxious to Travel Again
In an interview with CBS This Morning, Jonas explained why his collaboration with Expedia comes at a time when he’s “ready to get back on the road” and tour again with his brothers, but others might feel scared to safely travel again. He also mused about his expanding family after he and wife Sophie Turner welcomed their daughter Willa last summer. “I’m always on the go, I’m always moving and traveling and touring, and to be in one place for a solid amount of time and just have my feet on the ground and be with my family, my immediate family, is time I don’t think I’ll get back. So I’m so thankful and grateful,” Jonas said. He later delved into the mental health foundation he and Turner are developing that...
20 COS Items That You’ll Love This Spring and Beyond
This weekend I went to the shops for the first time since October, and out of all the rails I browsed I was the most impressed by the spring offering of COS. I knew from my hours of online browsing that the design aesthetic for spring was very strong, however seeing these pieces in person I was also struck by the quality too. The items I was most impressed by are all below, divided by dresses, accessories, tops and trousers. COS is always known for its minimal aesthetic, so of course you’ll find lots of clean lines and elegant tailoring for spring, however there’s also some more out there pieces in the mix too. Ochre yellow, unlikely cut-outs and ’90s flared jeans all play a part in this spring collection. Keep scrolling to see the 20 stand-out pieces from...
Where to Buy Fine Jewellery That’s More Affordable and Ethical
Plus, as you can tell by the name, there’s a huge emphasis on sustainability, something important to consider when buying jewellery in the current climate. All the pieces are created using 100% 14k recycled yellow and white gold, so the quality remains— these are, after all, pieces made to be worn day in day out and not saved for special occasions. And they also exclusively use lab-grown diamonds. If you haven’t come across lab-grown diamonds before, they’re basically the future of fine jewellery in a conscious world. The science bit? They’re physically, chemically and aesthetically identical to mined diamonds but created above the ground from real diamond seeds, made under the same conditions that occur beneath the earth’s surface, which makes them ethically the wiser choice. Plus, ...
New Project Will Teach the Art of DJing to the Homeless in Glasgow
A new bid to change the lives of Glasgow’s homeless population seeks to teach the underprivileged how to DJ. Started by electronic music-based social enterprise Turn The Tables, the Homelessness DJ Project already has the support of legendary techno duo Slam and Glasgow’s DJ Nightwave, among many others. Partnering with Groove City Radio and The Sub Club, the Homelessness DJ Project will work alongside third party organizations and charities to host workshops for people facing homelessness to learn the technical and artistic skills of DJing. Those workshops will be hosted in a new state-of-the-art studio in Granton, with multiple rooms and socially distant areas both indoors and outdoors. Members of the public are also encouraged to join workshops that wil...

Nipsey Hussle’s Marathon Clothing & Puma to Launch Limited Edition Collection
The shoes ($80) and tee ($45) will be available on puma.com on Friday (May 7), at the Puma NYC Flagship store and at select retailers, including Marathon Clothing. “What It Feels Like,” Nipsey’s posthumous collaboration with Jay-Z that was featured on the Judas and the Black Messiah soundtrack, peaked at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February, earning Hussle his third-highest-charting hit on the tally. Last month, THE MARATHON Live Visual Album was unveiled by creative design company OkiDoki, Hussle’s family and The Marathon Clothing crew to honor the 10th anniversary of the late star’s pivotal THE MARATHON 2010 mixtape.

Get Ready for the Bold Colour Trend That’s Comin’ in Hot
Over the past few seasons, neutrals have taken really taken center stage with versatile shades of cream, beige, and grey popping up in the wardrobes of all the cool fashion girls. More recently, though, bolder colours like bubblegum pink and bright green have stood out on the runways and fashion scene. As we look to autumn 2021, that is only continuing, and saturated shades are winning out as the biggest colour trend for the season ahead. At a time when we’re all looking for a dose of fun, it makes sense that designers are injecting their collections with bold pops of colour.

I’ve Analysed Everything, and These 30 High-Street Buys Look the Most Expensive
How do you find expensive-looking summer buys on the high street? After working in fashion for quite some time, it’s now pretty much instinct on what I think looks good and what I know could pass off as a designer piece. However, after selecting the following 30 affordable items, there are definitely a few boxes I need ticking to ensure that they look as expensive as possible. My number one rule is look at the material. A non man made fibre is ideal. Cotton, lyocell and linen are always materials I look to for that more luxe-looking sheen, especially for during the warmer months. The next tip is the silhouette of the piece. Does it fit with current trends that have come straight off the spring/summer 2021 catwalk? If so, I tend to think they look more de...
Arket Has Just Dropped Its Best Summer Dress Edit Yet
For some reason, Arket has never been my go-to for summer dresses. This may be partly due to the fact that I don’t really wear many dresses, but it’s also due to the fact that this high-street store is, in my opinion, at its strongest in the winter with its winning selection of cosy layers and stylish outwear. But this season, I might be about to change my tune because Arket has dropped the perfect summer dress edit, which may even appeal to the most frock-phobic among us.

This High-Street Candle Smells and Burns Just Like a Luxury Candle
I have a confession to make: I’m a bit of a candle snob. With homeware and my wardrobe, I’m all about sticking to budgets and tracking down bargains. I certainly don’t subscribe to the idea that the more expensive something is, the better it will be. Of course, this is sometimes the case, but I’ve been let down by seemingly “premium” purchases in the past. As for candles? They’re the one buy I allow myself to splurge on. I track this back to years spent working in a boutique surrounded by luxury candles. We’d burn them by our till, and I soon found myself hooked on the scent pay-off—not to mention the burn time, which lapped that of my frugal candles. Soon, I was spending my disposable income on high-end candles, somethin...
