& Other Stories Cult Blazer Is Back For 2021 and It’s Perfect For Spring
They say nothing haunts you like the things you didn’t buy (or something like that, right?). Regardless, it’s a feeling of regret I know all too well. Last year, I fell head over heels for a cover-up from & Other Stories. Specifically, a woollen blazer. A light beige hue with an oversized silhouette and a weighty, woven finish, the blazer would make for the perfect accompaniment to my off-duty jeans-and-jumper outfits. It would also make for a chic throw-on over printed dresses and pleated midi skirts. Maybe I was waiting for payday, or perhaps I’d recently bought something else. Whatever the reason, I decided to wait for a couple of weeks to treat myself. However, as you’ve likely already surmised, it sold out before I could get my hands on it. As such, I spent...
These Sunglasses Will Make Any Outfit Look 10 Times Cooler
Some people would argue that it’s shoes or handbags that “make” an outfit, but I’d say there’s nothing quite as impactful when you’re out and about as a pair of great sunglasses. Like a cute puppy or intriguing perfume, you will get asked about them. Sunglasses can show confidence if you’re wearing a bold pair. They can indicate in-the-know status if you’ve chosen a niche brand. No other accessory holds the mystical cool-factor that comes with covering one’s eyes/hangover/real feelings [delete as appropriate]. And they can demonstrate the power of a cult classic—choose the right frames for your face and you have a buddy for life (so long as you don’t sit on them). I also think the right shades can ele...

Everyone Cool I Know Wants a “Chore” Jacket and Now I Do Too
Thanks to Taylor Swift, Cottage Core and the fact that we’ve gravitated to the more functional items of clothing this year, the shacket has really been having a moment.

Maserati Releases Blurry “Spy Pics” of Its New Grecale SUV
The Maserati Levante is about to gain a little sibling in the form of the Grecale compact SUV. Due to debut before the end of the year, the Grecale seeks to take on the likes of the Porsche Macan and Tesla Model Y. Credit Maserati’s decision to offer the Grecale with a variety of powertrains, including gas, gasoline-electric hybrid, and battery-electric options. That said, we wager the latter setup won’t arrive until a year or two after the little Maserati SUV initially goes on sale. See all 18 photos Although the Italian brand is keeping mum on many of the model’s key details, it did release a trio of blurry “spy” pictures of a camouflaged Grecale prototype, and what we see looks promising. At the front, the Grecale sports a long hood and a low-mounted grille...

This Trending Candle Is All Over My Feed, and I Love It
You’ve probably seen Loewe candles sitting prettily in stylish spaces during Instagram scrolling sessions, but you’d be forgiven for not realising it. The candles, which come in three sizes, are housed in ribbed terracotta earthenware pots, with only a small Loewe logo embossed into the clay near the base. Each pot is painted a different, on-trend hue depending on the scent, which means you can pick and choose which colour best suits your decor. And while you mightn’t necessarily think of Loewe as a homeware brand, the collection has proven to be a passion project for the brand’s creative director, Jonathan Anderson. ‘Everything has been crafted in some way. The ceramic pots are based on a Greek mug that I bought several years ago in an auction. Although ...

This Is My Third Mother’s Day—These Are the 31 Presents I’d Actually Like
I’ll admit that previously I’ve been a little puritanical about the kind of Mother’s Day gifts I’m open to receiving. “They must be practical!” I’d tell my husband, as if by the very fact that I had birthed a human that I no longer deserved “fun” or “silly” items that had no sensible purpose. In a turn around that will surprise absolutely no one who has been through the past year (so, quite literally, the whole world), I’m craving frivolousness.

Take a Deeper Look Into MK’s Unique Partnership With Luxury Car Brand Jaguar
Earlier in the month of February, Jaguar released a new advert with house music luminary MK, who teamed up with the storied luxury vehicle brand to promote its new F-PACE performance SUV. The ad was soundtracked by MK’s new single “Lies,” a track created alongside Raphaella that is as smooth as the car’s Windsor leather interior. MK has now unveiled a video offering fans a deeper look into the unique collaboration, which was born out of a desire to explore the intersection of music automotive tech. “I’m in the business of creating heightened moments,” MK says before waxing poetic about how his musical journey has come full circle from the genesis of his career, when he discovered synthesizers growing up in the 80s.
