These French Women Just Told Me the Beauty Products They Swear By
If you walk into any bookshop and head to the fashion and lifestyle section, you’ll find the shelves lined with various books filling you in on the style of French women. Beauty is right up there too, as long before we had French pharmacy brands in the UK, trips on the Eurostar always ended with bags of creams and potions that only reside on the other side of the channel. There’s an effortlessness that so many French women exude and mastering simple yet extremely effective skincare routines is just one of the ways they do it. While it can be incredibly thrilling hunting out the latest buzzy ingredients, there’s something very satisfying about being a spy on the wall in someone else’s beauty routine. So, we decided to ask the questions we know you...

Ford Ranger Now Available Without a Pickup Bed In Europe, Just as Option Disappears from America
Say you’re looking for a small pickup truck, minus the pickup bed. It might seem pointless—does a bedless pickup become just a truck? A two-seat oddity?—but if it strikes you as such, you probably don’t live in the commercial realm, where upfitters bolt any number of useful, typically specialized configurations to the chassis behind the truck’s cab. To open up its midsize Ranger pickup to such possibilities, Ford is releasing a new chassis-cab version, sans cargo bed, but only in Europe. See all 11 photos The bedless Ranger is a blank canvas for…whatever a builder would like to do to it. Go ahead, bolt on a flatbed, or an enclosed cargo box, or even a boom. (Ford has helpfully illustrated a few of those options here.) Ford Europe says its Ranger chassis cab, which is base...
Yenko’s Back With a TRX-Rivaling 800HP Supercharged Chevy Silverado Pickup
If you feel like this Yenko hot rod Chevy was introduced earlier this year, you’re not entirely wrong. You’re also not entirely right, as the tuner previously showed off its lowered Limited Edition truck. This, however, is the Off Road. Like the Limited Edition, the Off Road features the same supercharged V-8 engine and six-speed automatic transmission. Likewise, the engine carries the same host of modifications: a blueprinted LT-1 aluminum block; forged crankshaft, rods, and pistons; CNC-ported heads; and an upgraded fuel system and injectors. Drivers can mash the throttle confidently, knowing that a three-year/36,000-mile warranty backs the engine and transmission. See all 9 photos Suspension improvements come courtesy of a BDS four-inch coilover lift system (with front ...
London’s Queen of Layering on Epic Winter Outfits and Perfect Gift Ideas
Even before we discovered a newfound love for loungewear this year, my mantra was always to dress practically, stylishly and timelessly—all things that fashion lovers know Gap always gets right.

My standout buys definitely include the cream Sherpa overcoat—as soon as I put it on I felt like a new woman, no joke and it’s absolutely perfect for throwing over all the fuss-free, super-casual outfits we all lean upon. And I’ve also fallen for a cashmere beanie and some...
Build Your Own Electric Rivian R1S SUV and R1T Pickup—the Configurators Are Now Live
Better late than never, right? Rivian is finally taking reservations for its sleekly styled electric pickup and SUV, and after a weeklong period during which only reservation holders for the R1S and R1T electric SUV and pickup could access the automaker’s online configurator tool, you, too, can now virtually build your dream Rivian R1S and R1T. The first thing you’ll notice when you visit Rivian’s build-your-own tool is that the limited-production R1S and R1T Launch Editions models are sold out. These variants were scheduled to arrive in the middle of next year—June for the R1T and August for the R1S. Launch Editions come with upgrades like special badging and a unique army green (aptly named Launch Green) paint option. If you didn’t get your hands on a Launch Editi...
Who Needs Baby Yoda When You Can Have a Baby Bugatti II?
Way back in 1926, Bugatti Automobiles founder Ettore Bugatti gifted his 4-year-old son a unique birthday present: a half-scale version of Bugatti’s Type 35 race car, which won the Grand Prix World Championship in the very same year. The one-off kiddie car was nicknamed the Bugatti “Baby”, and Ettore’s VIP clients soon asked him to make one for their own children. Some 500 Bugatti Baby kid cars were built and sold by the time production ended in 1936, making them very rare and expensive collectibles for well-heeled Bugatti fanatics today. But now, you can buy a brand-new Bugatti Baby II kiddie car to go along with that Bugatti Chiron Pur Sport or Super Sport 300+ you have on order. Oh, to be a (wealthy) kid again. Bugatti Baby II Prices and Specifications Three diffe...

These Low-Maintenance Hair Trends Are Going to Dominate in 2021
“When it comes to colour, you don’t want something that requires too much precision,” reveals hairstylist to the stars George Northwood. “Something that has become a bit of a signature of ours is a softer, natural balayage. With the disturbance of COVID and salons shutting for months on end, people are stepping away from that fresh, highlighted look that is quite high-maintenance and is tricky to maintain well at home without your colourist.” “Over the first lockdown, a lot of my clients saw their natural colour growing through and have actually gotten used to it,” Northwood continues. “So we are now seeing a lot more clients who are now experimenting with keeping their hair closer to their natural colour, which is far more easily m...
Porsche Taycan Slides Into World Record DMs With Longest EV Drift Ever
Porsche just set the world record for longest drift with an electric vehicle. While BMW still holds the record for the longest continuous drift with a gas-powered car, Porsche put a more eco-friendly spin on the feat by attempting it in a rear-drive version of its Taycan EV—a variant it currently sells in markets such as China. The record was set at the Porsche Experience Center in Hockenheim, Germany. Instructor Dennis Retera took to a wet, 200-meter (approximately 656-f0ot) radius skidpad in a Taycan and drifted it for 55 minutes continuously. Retera covered 26.2 miles (the exact distance of a marathon) “without the front wheels ever pointing in the same direction of the curve.” In layman’s terms, he was drifting the entire time. Porsche’s new world record was com...
GM Offering Cadillac Dealers Up to Half a Million Bucks to Ditch the Luxury Brand
Most, if not all, new Cadillacs around the world will be electric within the next 10 years. No doubt, this will be a huge transition for a brand that currently sells no EVs, and recognizing this reality, General Motors is reportedly offering to buy out dealers who don’t want to invest in the ambitious transformation plan. According to Automotive News, the buyouts range from $300,000 to $500,000 per dealer. It won’t be the first time Cadillac tries to trim its dealership network, but this is quite a large sum of money on offer. Dealers have until the end of November to accept the money. “We wanted to move fast and make sure dealers are ready for the acceleration,” Mahmoud Samara, vice president of Cadillac North America, told the publication. “This is purely an option for those dealers who ...
