Here They Are—The 5 Coolest Spring Hairstyles on Instagram

There’s a hair trend happening on Instagram. Wait, I should be more specific… There are five hair trends happening on Instagram. Everyone, from the most fashion-forward celebrities to influencers and editors, seems to be wearing the same five hairstyles. (It’s almost as if they held some sort of secret meeting about it.) I’m not mad. How could I be? The five hairstyles in question are chic and low maintenance, which just so happens to be my favourite combination.  They’re also very ’90s-inspired. That doesn’t surprise me—not in the slightest. After all, the fashion and beauty industries are experiencing a full-blown ’90s renaissance right now. I mean, we already brought ’90s clothing items back (slip dresses, shoulder...

Park Dates Are a Thing—Here’s Exactly What to Wear

I’m far from a dating expert. My husband and I have been together a total of 15 years, so I’ve missed out on the whole Bumble and Tinder thing. That said, when my single friends are getting ready for their dates, they still choose to run their outfits past me, which I always find so flattering. After a decade spent working in fashion, I’ve become acutely aware of the small cues your clothing choices can make on your behalf, whether you know it or not. You need to feel comfortable in your clothes, especially on a date. If you don’t, you’ll hold your body in an entirely different way than how you usually would, which makes it harder for the person you’re with to connect with you. Wearing something that isn’t you will send off the wrong...

Daft Punk-Inspired Watch Collection Unveiled by Director of Chanel’s Watchmaking Creation Studio

Over two decades of some of electronic music’s most memorable songs and live performances have come courtesy of the legendary duo Daft Punk, who announced their shocking split in early 2021. The iconic robots inspired many musicians in their craft, but their influence spreads far beyond music and into different facets of art and culture.  One such instance of that inspiration came to Arnaud Chastaingt, director of Chanel’s Watchmaking Creation Studio, who channeled the storied career of Daft Punk for his latest collection, Chanel Electro. A bit of a maverick force at Chanel, Chastaingt sought to give the J12’s 20th anniversary collection quite the makeover.

2022 Honda Civic Sedan Interior Review: The Civic Goes Understated

Honda Civic Full Overview If it wasn’t painfully obvious from our glowing breakdown of the all-new 2022 Honda Civic, we’re stoked about Honda’s new compact superstar. The 11th-generation Civic’s conscious stylistic shift away from the origami edges of the outgoing car to this new, sleekened profile is a welcome move, particularly on the inside. We crawled around in the new Civic as part of the debut proceedings, and we reckon the fresh threads will be one of the redesigned car’s strongest selling points; based on how fabulous the outgoing car was to drive, that’s saying a lot. Here’s what to expect when you get your first in-person peek of the cabin. We suspect ardent Honda nerds may find the new horizontal, pared-down environment vaguely familiar....

Selena Gomez Launches ‘Mental Health 101′ With Rare Beauty

Ford Ion Park to Pave Way for Company’s Future Battery Cell Plants

Ford is establishing a battery cell research and development center in Michigan as a next step to manufacturing its own batteries for electric vehicles, rather than relying solely on suppliers. It is a tangible example of a mind shift at Ford under new CEO Jim Farley who recognizes the automaker must throw past caution to the wind when it comes to embracing electric vehicles. Under Farley, Ford will accelerate the transition to battery electric vehicles from traditional internal combustion engines and reverse the stance of former CEO Jim Hackett who did not see the value in bringing capital-intensive battery cell manufacturing in-house. Farley sees the EV market developing quickly, creating the scale necessary to justify integrating cell assembly. Shortages of semiconductor chips have heig...

This Is the One Jacket Trend Worth Buying From Zara

Whoever has been doing the PR for the shacket recently really deserves a well-earned rest. This piece of outerwear truly came into its own over the past year, and it hasn’t waned in popularity whatsoever. Type “shacket” into Google Trends and you’ll see that it suddenly started to gain traction in August last year. The amalgamation of “shirt” and “jacket,” it has been a great option for working from home and then nipping out to the shops. It’s an in-between item that is great for layering and also just as good when you wear it on its own. It’s perfect with a pair of jeans or leather trousers but also works with dresses. Best of all, of course, is that it’s been made popular by the fashion crowd thanks to pretty muc...
