These 3 Princess Diana Items Are Trending All Over Again Thanks to ‘The Crown’
It hardly comes as a surprise that The Crown, Season 4 has reignited the world’s fascination with all things Princess Diana. Perfectly encapsulating the royal’s natural charm, Emma Corrin’s depiction of Lady Di was nothing short of fascinating. And of course, along with our renewed interest in Diana’s life has come a renewed interest in her ever-adored personal style. Season 4 predominantly takes places throughout the 1980s, depicting the early years of Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s marriage. It was an era in which shoulder pads and feathered hair reigned supreme, and as the fashion-conscious royal she was, Diana partook in several of the decade’s most iconic styles.

Katie Holmes Has Convinced Us to Try This 2021 Footwear Trend
Ever since the now-infamous bradigan moment, Katie Holmes’ errand-running outfits have become a regular addition to the celebrity news cycle. This is hardly a surprise, given many of the actress’ best looks take place off the red carpet. After all, who could forget the suede fringe jackets, Birkenstocks sandals and enviably-cool pieces by cult label Khaite. While Holmes does have quite the affinity for Birkenstock Arizona Evas—she was spotted in the shoes several times throughout summer—with the changing of the seasons, it seems the actress has found herself another pair of preferred footwear. Holmes has been seen out and about on the streets of New York a few times recently, sporting a pair of satin green mules by UK-based label, Le Monde Beryl. Handc...
What Is Gulf Livery? The History of Racing’s Iconic Color Scheme
Gulf Livery: The Timeless Orange and Blue Race Car Livery with Global Fame Catapulted to icon status by the golden age of motorsports in the 1960s, the Gulf Oil livery is easily one of the most respected and globally recognized race-car liveries. Having already picked up back-to-back wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966 and 1967, the relentless Ford GT40 dressed in the Gulf livery collected two more consecutive Le Mans titles in 1968 and 1969. Afterward, the undisputed “King of Cool”—Steve McQueen—starred in the 1971 feature-length film Le Mans, in which he played racing driver Michael Delaney behind the wheel of one of two Gulf-liveried Porsche 917Ks. Indeed, the 3707 Zenith Blue and 3957 Tangerine colors famously adorned both the Porsche 917K and Ford G...

From Thongs to Wellies—These Controversial Trends Are Dividing Fashion Editors
The act of getting dressed in 2020 has become a little, well, bland—as jogging bottoms, puffer coats and sturdy boots have become the unofficial uniform of winter 2020 and many of us have prioritised comfort over experimentation. You’d be forgiven for thinking that this would mean trending items have become a little bland this winter. Of course crowd-pleasing loungewear sets, duvet coats and slippers are the items selling out at lightening speed currently, but there are also some trending items that have our editors divided. Maybe it’s all that time spent in leggings, but there are a number of micro-trends and styling tricks we’ve been spotting bubbling up this month that are fabulously creative and innovative. And like anything new and out of the ordinary they ...
5 “Meh” Beauty Products You Really Don’t Need in Your Routine
As a beauty editor, I spend a lot of time telling you about the stuff you need. You know, the game-changing lotions and potions that will smooth your skin, give you shiny hair, make your hands hella soft, and a whole host of other beauty wish list items. But today, I’m coming at you with a cold, hard fact you might not be ready to hear. Here’s the truth: Mediocrity abounds in the beauty industry. That’s right. So much of the stuff out there marketed as miracle workers actually don’t do much at all. As you can imagine, I get an up close, firsthand look at the ploys and truth-stretching that takes place, but as a consumer, I’m sure you’ve also had your suspicions. If I’m being totally honest, there are too many products that fall short of ...
Kate Middleton Has Been Wearing This 2021 Boot Trend For Years
If I had to describe Kate Middleton’s style, in a word, I’d say traditional. The Duchess rarely strays from classic wardrobe essentials that define polish and sophistication. Tailored separates, straight-leg jeans, a-line dresses, double-breasted coats and more are among her repertoire of timeless styles, which she rotates occasion after occasion. With an aesthetic so enduring, it would be fair to say that Middleton rarely follows trends. But, by contrast, it seems that at times, trends follow her. Most recently, this can be seen within her penchant for riding boots. Kate Middleton has been a fan of riding boots for years and has been spotted in the same brown leather pair on more than a few occasions. Often worn for royal appearances, the Duchess gen...
2020 Kia Telluride Long-Term Update: Still the King After 18,000 Miles
Kia Telluride Full Overview Although the Calipers have been passed to the Defender, the Telluride is still tops in its segment. Unsuccessfully competing alongside the Defender for this year’s honors was the 2021 Toyota Highlander. The Highlander not only fell short of winning our annual award, it also fell short of dethroning the Telluride as the top three-row SUV. Don’t take my word for it. Head over to our newly launched Buyer’s Guide and check out the rankings! Unsurprising to me, the Telluride leads the three-row SUV pack with score of 8.4/10. Not only does the Telluride beat its main competitors, only one other SUV, the luxurious Lincoln Navigator, matches the Telluride’s score! Again, none of this surprises me. After lending the Telluride to a coworker with tw...
25 Stunning Haircuts Celebs in Their 50s Always Ask For
We’ve encountered enough badass women in their 40s, 50, 60s, and beyond to know that there are tons of outdated clichés about aging. Gone are the days where women are pressured to dress a certain way the second we hit age 40 or stop wearing our favorite makeup. (Although, there are formulas that work better for mature skin.) The general attitude around aging has seen a major shift for the better in recent years, and there’s a sense of liberation that’s come along with it that we absolutely love. While the number of years we’ve been on this earth doesn’t have to control our lives, there are, indeed, some unavoidable shifts that come up the further along we get, including changes to our hair. For this reason, many women start t...
This Beauty Product Is Following Me on Instagram—Here’s Why It’s So Popular
When it comes to caring for my skin in summer, I get pretty lazy. I can strip back my routine to the bare bones of cleansing and moisturising, and my complexion doesn’t seem to be the slightest bit effected. Winter, however, is a whole other story. As soon as the temperatures start to plummet, so does my skin’s appearance. My lips chap, my eyes water, my skin becomes irritated, and almost every morning I wake up to find a new spot has taken up residence on my face. Sure, it used to knock my confidence, but as I’ve come to expect this annual skin meltdown, I know how to better combat it. I start reintroducing acids to my regimen, and have various masks on rotation. However, as my skin is suffering more this year than most – I put it down to fabric mask-weari...
I’m 5’2″, and This Is What I’m Buying This Season
I don’t know about you, but I’ve always found dressing for my relatively petite stature to be quite easy. Sure, I have to hit up the tailor more than others, and I don’t particularly benefit from wearing flats on the regular, but, for as long as I can remember, it’s been pretty clear to me how to shop effectively and dress stylishly and for my height. So much so that oftentimes, people are actually surprised to hear that I’m only 5’2”. However, if you haven’t found it to be as simple, there’s no need to worry—because you have me! Lucky for you, not only do I get paid to share my style tips and shopping advice (thank you, Who What Wear), but I also love doing it, so today’s roundup goes out to all my fellow short girls out there. To read about and shop the eight flattering essenti...
