Just In: The Formula for a Truly Easy Winter Wardrobe
I’m going to make a bold claim: By creating a winter capsule wardrobe, I have genuinely managed to cut my time of getting ready in the mornings to just 30 minutes. For obvious reasons, this is great because I can maximise my time in a warm bed. Whether you’re staying home, heading to an office, or simply running out to do your errands, there are few key elements a winter look needs in order to be both warm and practical. However, I hear you ask, can you still look good? Well, of course, the answer is yes. And to prove this, I’ve narrowed down my winter wardrobe to just eight key pieces that I wear on repeat and that I know will keep me warm whatever the elements throw at me. Want to know what they are? Keep scrolling to see how to recreate a high-performing winter wa...
7 Outfit Formulas the Olsen Twins Have Down to a Science
When it comes to Olsen style, there is a certain aesthetic the sisters have down to an exact science. If we were to put it succinctly, we’d say it’s all about the proportions, as the sisters often play with voluminous shapes or oversized silhouettes. However, they don’t just wear clothes that are a few sizes too big. No, Ashley and Mary-Kate and are much smarter with their style than that, as they play with proportions very strategically. For example, the twins will happily wear an oversized dress or floor-length skirt but will ensure they cinch the item at the waist, or they’ll wear a borrowed-from-the-boys style shirt and straight-leg trousers but will tailor the trousers immaculately so that you can still see a part of their ankle. It’s the key to keeping things oversized...
Ford Teases Mint Green, U.S. Forest Service–Ish Bronco Concept SUV
Just weeks after debuting the Bronco Overlanding Concept, Ford is gearing up to introduce another delectable concept vehicle. On social media, Ford released multiple teasers of a concept Bronco wearing a familiar-seeming mint green paint job. In one post, Ford hints at a potential collaboration with outdoor clothing company Filson. “This year, we plan to honor the Bronco legacy and create a new concept vehicle for 2021,” the FordBronco account posted on Instagram. “And when you’re doing that, might as well have the best.” Those last six words just happen to be Filson’s slogan. This partnership seems even more likely when you look at another teaser that shows the concept Bronco’s twill interior, which looks very Filson. Oh, and several months ago, F...
No-Haggle Hummer: GMC Hummer EVs Won’t Be Discounted—or Marked Up
Earlier today, we told you all about GMC’s Hummer EV rollout and pricing strategy. To sum it up, the cheapest Hummer EV will run $79,995—but those don’t show up until spring 2024. First up is the Edition 1, a limited run of an unknown quantity of units that will shock your pocketbook with a starting price of $112,595. Of course, its specs (and trappings) look formidable. But whatever future Hummer you’re eyeing, you might be concerned about dealers pricing tactics—namely, hefty markups on hot, limited-availability vehicles. We have some good news for you. Automotive News is reporting that Duncan Aldred, vice president of global Buick and GMC, told investors on a call this absolutely won’t happen. Yes, no-haggle pricing—once a bedrock of GM’s defunct Satur...

Nissan MID4 and MID4-II: The Mid-Engined Supercars That Almost Happened
The above car might look like a discarded design study for the Acura NSX, or maybe an unlicensed BMW M1/Ferrari Testarossa mashup, but it’s actually the second of two intriguing performance-oriented concept cars that could have sent Nissan on a very different halo-car trajectory. The MID4-II, as the white car is known, has a cleaner and more modern look than its predecessor, the thoroughly mid-1980s MID4. But both were more than mere concepts, seriously considered for production and predating the eventual Acura NSX. And they’re worth knowing about if you want to know why the Z car evolved as it did. Skipping to the end before the beginning, the MID4s ended up as dead ends. Nissan’s performance future evolved on a few fronts: the affordable Silvia/240SX, the 300ZX that ado...
I Tried On H&M’s Collaboration With The Vampire’s Wife, and Here’s My Verdict
All in all, this is a thoroughly feel-good and fabulous collection for those who want a slice of The Vampire’s Wife action without forking out the four-figure price tag. But unlike some of the other collaborations H&M has hosted, this one is definitely at the affordable end of the spectrum, with pieces starting at £10 for a frilled collar and going up to £50 for a lace midi dress. In truth, this is reflected in the quality. However, I would say the dresses feel similar to any other dress you might find for the same price point at H&M. Certain pieces stood out more than others. For example, my hero buy has to be the ruffle-sleeve lace minidress, which perfectly pays homage to The Vampire’s Wife’s flattering cuts thanks to the...

How GM Fast-Tracked the 2022 GMC Hummer Electric Pickup, Beating Tesla and Rivian
General Motors is blunt about it. The 2022 GMC Hummer EV, a full-size electric pickup, raced from computer screens to production at mach speed to compete with plans by Tesla, Rivian, and others to build an electric trucks of their own. GMC Hummer EV chief engineer Al Oppenheiser, who spent most of his career developing Camaros, said 20 months ago he was asked by GM leadership to bring Camaro charisma to the electric vehicle program to give it an adrenaline shot to better combat the 2021 Tesla Cybertruck and 2021 Rivian R1T, both of which had created a lot of buzz. (Not to be outdone, Ford is developing an electric F-150.) Oppenheiser’s work began in April 2019 on a full-size truck GM wanted in production in the fall of 2021. In other words, lop about two years off GM’s normal d...
