Rivian Busy With Three Electric Vehicle Launches, Big Future Plans
Rivian is validating early builds of three key electric vehicles launching in the second half of this year, even as CEO RJ Scaringe works on an expanded portfolio. The electric vehicle startup showed how serious it was about mass production when it bought an assembly plant in Normal, Illinois, from Mitsubishi in 2017, and under Scaringe, Rivian didn’t just retool the 2.6-million-square-foot plant, but expanded it by a further 800,000 square feet. Even that might not be enough to handle his future plans. First Up: Rivian R1T Electric Pickup in June Pilot versions of the 2021 R1T five-passenger full-size electric pickup are being built for validation and testing in the real world in preparation for a June launch of vehicles earmarked for customers. It is a slight delay from pre-CO...
I Just Created My 5 Dream Spring Outfits From NET-A-PORTER
One of my favourite pastimes on an average grey Monday (or Wednesday or Friday) afternoon has to be scrolling through NET-A-PORTER‘s new-in section and mentally compiling my dream outfits.

Plus, I have found that there’s nothing quite like a beautiful design to help one escape the mundanity and slipper-clad reality of lockdown life.

This Has to Be the Most 2021 Way to Wear Your Leggings
There’s no doubt that leggings have been quite the wardrobe saviour over the past year. Along with joggers, these trousers with stretchy waistbands have allowed us to work from home in as much comfort as possible. But with news of lockdown restrictions easing soon, you, like me, might be feeling a little apprehensive about giving up the delightful easiness of these soft trousers. True, leggings might once have just been associated with slobbing around the house or doing exercise, but these days, they can be much more than that. In fact, there’s a super-easy way to ensure these humble jersey trousers can be elevated to a fashion statement. According to plenty of influencers, the coolest way to wear your leggings in 2021 is to add an oversize blazer. Whether you’...
Everyone Deserves at Least One Chanel Perfume—These Are the 5 Best
Growing up, my mum had the most enchanting collection of beauty products that took residence in her bathroom. (My dad’s electric shaver, bare bar soap, and a lone bottle of 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner didn’t stand a chance and were banished to a different bathroom downstairs.) Atop my mum’s porcelain vanity sat her jars of creams and powders, and along the wall, deep drawers were lined with rows of sophisticated lipstick bullets. Atop gleaming glass shelves sat her collection of Chanel perfumes. Even at a super-young age (and knowing nothing of Chanel’s iconic name), I understood with an inherent knowledge there was something supremely special about the gilded bottle stoppers and black lacquer detail. The name “Chanel” was eff...
9 Items Every London Girls Are Already Embracing for Spring
How we spot emerging trends has changed over the last year. Before lockdown, we simply had to take a look around us as we walked the streets of the capital to see what the city’s most stylish dwellers were wearing. Now, with many of said women working from home, we’ve had to concentrate our trend-spotting efforts on the social media ether. Thankfully, our favourite London-based influencers have risen to the challenge and have continued to present us with impressive outfits. So, with a new season on the fast approach, what will London’s biggest spring fashion trends for 2021 be? While it’s evident that the London style set aren’t quite ready to give up their loungewear and leggings just yet, we’re starting to notice that they’re...
The Buick Signia Was What the Rendezvous Should’ve Been
As such, the concept car cribbed its underpinnings from the Buick Park Avenue full-size sedan. The use of the flagship Buick model’s unibody architecture afforded the Signia a low step-in height while also offering a raised, SUV-like seating position. See all 10 photos Although the Signia was no beauty pageant contender, its design certainly included a number of attractive styling elements. Look past the concept’s dowdy mug and details such as the concept’s prominent rear fender line (gracefully mirrored by the rear window, too), steeply raked C-pillar, and single-piece rear hatch glass—that covers the entirety of the cargo hold— come together to give the illusion of a rear-drive powertrain. In reality, the concept’s transverse-mounted supercharged 3.8-l...
2022 Lexus NX Leaked Totally Naked Before Its Official Reveal
You’re looking at the 2022 Lexus NX, the next-generation compact luxury crossover that has not been officially revealed yet. Instead, the new NX crashed onto the internet by way of a video Lexus seems to have accidentally posted and which was subsequently copied, screengrabbed, and the like as it bounded around the internet. See all 17 photos Stylish, Not Over-Styled The RAV4 connection should ensure the new NX grows somewhat, a welcome development given the current Lexus’s somewhat tight interior. As before, the Lexus NX wears expressive styling, combining the most eye-catching styling elements from Lexus’s products on one of its smallest products. (The automaker also sells the even smaller UX pseudo SUV.) Lexus designers drew some inspiration from the UX, evidenced by t...
Victoria Beckham Has Been Wearing This Anti-Skinny Jean Trend for Years
There’s been a lot of talk about the ‘end’ of skinny jeans recently. The conversation has predominantly been led by Gen Zs on TikTok, who have deemed the much-loved item ‘officially over’ (and apparently an instant indication of one’s age). And while we hate to jump on the bandwagon there does seem to be a lot of supporting evidence around to prove many of us are moving on, at least temporarily, from our beloved skinnies. Enter, Victoria Beckham, fashion designer and mother of 4 Gen Zers. Whether influenced by her children or not, Beckham seems to have put her skinny jeans aside recently in favour of wide-leg and flared iterations, uploading several images of herself in the trending styles to Instagram. However, this silhouette is nothing new ...
30 Wedding Guest Dresses We’re Eyeing Up for 2021
There are various factors to consider when choosing an outfit for an important event: The venue, the dress code, the weather, and even how long the ceremony lasts. Then there’s the sheer number of dress options to choose from (not to mention the tailored and jumpsuit alternatives—but that’s a whole other article). From lace and chiffon to silk and organza, we really are spoilt for choice. More than anything else, we’re just excited about getting dressed up again and putting on heels (never thought we’d hear ourselves saying that) and painting the town red. So really, we’d be happy in anything that doesn’t come with a matching knitted top. However, we want to make sure we don’t merely get distracted, magpie-l...
7 High-Street Insiders Just Shared Their Key Spring Buys With Me
How to find the best pieces on the high street? Go to the source. We have a direct line to insiders from our favourite affordable brands, so it makes sense that we’d tap them first before entering a new season—especially during a time when our editors don’t have their usual chance to peruse the spring collections on press days six months in advance, or even in situ once they’ve landed. This group of experts is made up of the people who know the latest drops inside and out, having the chance to preview—or even help shape—items before everyone else gets to see them. They can also take a measure on how their peers and coworkers respond to these creations, which in turn will inform how the general public will likely shop. So with spring off...
