This Product Range Promises to Help With Hair-Fall, and We’re Sold
It’s likely that most of us have complained about our hair falling out at one time or another. Whether it’s coming out in surprising clumps when washing or you’re simply seeing more on your brush than usual, hair breakage and subsequent fall is not uncommon at all. In fact, seven out of 10 of us will experience it at some point in our life. It’s also become one of the leading concerns among us, particularly millennials, above the usual suspects of dryness or damage. Luckily, one of our favourite haircare brands, Kérastase, has an established range of products within its Genesis collection dedicated to preventing the causes and solving the issue of hair fall and to be honest, we’re sold (plus, if Emily Ratajkowski is a fan, it must be good). It may come and go, but there’s ...
The Jaguar XE Is Dead In America After the 2020 Model Year
No one should be surprised, as we’ve written a version of this story already many times recently: A sedan is going away, and a crossover SUV is taking its place. The models and marques matter less, in general, than the broader market forces and consumer tastes at work. In this case, the compact Jaguar XE luxury sedan will be a thing of the past. And the E-Pace crossover will be a thing of the future—or at least the thing that sticks around in the XE’s stead. Even among the European luxury automakers, Jaguar is a small player in the U.S. market. And the XE, the company’s until-now entry level vehicle, is an attractive contender with great design, but some real faults. And it isn’t, and has never been, the best car in its segment. It’s a car that engenders fondn...
Tesla Model Y’s Serious Production Problems: Here Are the Most Notable Ones
If you were doing research before buying the new Tesla Model Y electric crossover, chances are you would find owners sending up online warnings about quality issues. Uneven panel gaps, misaligned trim, and paint defects are the common ones to look for, according to owner complaints, and it is up to the new buyer to either tolerate the issues and let Tesla Service fix them afterwards or refuse delivery and wait for another car (which does not guarantee to be built better). If this sounds ominous, know that the reaction common amongst new Tesla Model Y owners is a love of their new EV offset by disappointing quality issues. We’ve found the Model Y to be a pleasant adaptation of Tesla’s relatively affordable Model 3 sedan, albeit with far more interior room and a more useful cargo...
I’ve Worn Flares for Years—Here’s How to Wear Them in 2020
Admittedly, my trusty flares haven’t had much airtime over the last few months. The one downside to the style is that they’re not so good for super low-key looks. But the moment I get the chance, I’ll be throwing them on with my favourite heeled boots and blouse. Elegant yet personality packed, it’s a denim style that never fails to make me feel polished, even if I’m just wearing a white tee and blazer. The great thing about denim is that you can mould it to your own personal taste and wardrobe requirements. However, if you’re looking for a few styling cues to keep your flares feeling fresh, I’ve put together an edit of autumn outfits to spark inspiration. From Slip Into Style’s classic check blazer and fla...
What Alexa, Pixie and Gabrielle Wore to Paris Fashion Week (At Home)
Miu Miu hosted its S/S21 runway show yesterday, in front of a star-studded audience of actresses and It-girls. Though unlike year’s past, the runway show was a distinctly digital affair. From the comfort of their own homes, starlets took a virtual front-row seat and tuned into the Miu Miu show watching models parade around an elliptical stadium. In a thoroughly 2020 move, their faces were then projected inside the stadium as they watched the show, creating a fully digital audience the models were able to see as they walked. From Gabrielle Union-Wade to Alexa Chung, the audience consisted of chic women from across the globe, all of whom were dressed in their own unique Miu Miu looks. Actress-on-the-rise Storm Reid wore a knitted playsuit while Bel Powley opted for a fl...
Still Searching For Glowing Skin? This Innovative Brand Has Got The Answer
When it comes to daily exfoliation, I’m usually an AHA tonic, twice-a-day kind of girl. My skin is pretty resilient to most ingredients, so swiping this all over my face doesn’t wreak any havoc. Or, so I thought. The thing about those fan-fave AHA/BHA tonics, is that they’re pretty strong stuff. It’s great because they really do work but they can easily end up being overused. Twice a week is probably a better idea than twice a day as they can lead to sensitised skin as they penetrate so deeply and can end up disrupting healthy skin barriers. Enter Medik8, with a solution. PHAs (polyhydroxy acids) are where it’s at for gentle but effective exfoliation and Press & Glow uses gluconolactone to get the job done. As the molecules are l...
Katie Holmes Wore the New It Sneakers That Sold Out Immediately
I regret to inform you that fall’s It sneakers are already sold out, but I still thought you should know about them because Katie Holmes wore them, which is noteworthy for obvious reasons, and who knows, maybe they’ll restock, or maybe you’ll want to shop for a similar pair. The sneakers in question are from Staud’s second collaboration with New Balance, which is an epic marrying of two It brands which of course produced a pair of It sneakers. For the collaboration, Staud updated New Balance’s classic 327 sneakers with a bold burgundy N and a gum sole. The resulting shoes are in perfect step with the season’s retro sneaker trend, and would look exceedingly cool with a variety of fall outfits (like Holmes’ coat and jeans). I...
2021 Polestar 2’s EPA Range Falls Short of the Tesla Model 3’s
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the 2021 Polestar 2 goes 233 miles with a full charge of its 78-kWh battery pack. That’s well short of the 275-mile range estimate the brand originally targeted for the model. It also falls far short of key rivals. The Tesla Model 3 offers a minimum of 250 miles of range, per the EPA. Its crossover counterpart, the Model Y, meanwhile, offers a minimum of 316 miles of EPA-rated range. Keep in mind, the Model 3 starts at $39,190. That means Tesla’s entry-level sedan offers a minimum of 17 extra miles of range (and as much as 89 more miles in Long Range form) and costs $22,010 less than the $61,200 Polestar 2. The math doesn’t work in the Polestar’s favor if you’re willing to sacrifice some pa...
Macca Hybrid, Ahoy: McLaren Teases New V-6 Hybrid Supercar
McLaren‘s next supercar looks to bring gasoline-electric hybrid power to the masses. Okay, so those masses are still rich as sin and just a drop in the bucket of the overall population, more one-percenters than ever will be able to get a McLaren hybrid. That’s because the company’s prior such cars were the the limited-run P1 and Speedtail, while now McLaren has announced plans for a hybrid supercar with uncapped production over multiple model years. The British automaker’s latest product will trade the company’s ubiquitous V-8 engine for a new V-6; whatever power the gas-powered portion of the hybrid powertrain loses will presumably be more than made up for by a torque-rich electric motor (or motors). Given this new model will kick off the replacemen...

If I Could Wear One Designer for the Rest of My Life, It Would Be This One
When you really fall in love with a brand, you fall hard. Well, at least I know I do. I’ve been a fan of the Isabel Marant’s casual but undeniably French creations for as long as I can remember. While I don’t have the finances to own everything from the label, I do own a red and black checked jacket (quite the trademark), a blazer and a slinky black satin top. Almost everything else I own in my wardrobe is a high-street copy of the designer’s classic pieces—high-waisted jeans with barrel legs, knitwear with exaggerated shoulders, and a classic black belt to wrap around my oversize jumpers. Just last week, Marant showed her spring/summer 2021 collection. It was full of her signature styles: oversize shoulders, slouchy boots, flashes of bold prints and silv...
Liberty’s Advent Calendar Launches Today—and This Is Why We Think It’s Worth It
Now, when it comes to beauty advent calendars, you fall into one of two camps—either you prefer to keep the contents of each drawer a complete surprise, or you insist on knowing exactly what to expect to find inside before you buy.
