The One Ingredient That Skin Experts and Cool Girls Are Obsessed With Right Now
So what’s the difference between CBD and hemp oil? Turns out, quite a lot. “The most common mistake is confusing hempseed oil, also known as cannabis sativa seed oil, with CBD, which is usually found in ingredient lists as ‘CBD isolate’ or ‘cannabidiol.’ These are two separate ingredients from the same plant, hemp, and deliver distinct skincare benefits,” explains Loureiro. In essence, whereas CBD addresses the many skin issues discussed already, hempseed oil is far more focused on providing hydration for dry skin. However, while there is a huge buzz around CBD oil right now (with fans advocating for the way that it combats everything from anxiety and period pains to hormonal breakouts and eczema), consultant dermatologist Justine Kluk was kee...
2021 Volkswagen ID4 Electric SUV Prototype First Drive: On the Right Track
What a difference 15 years makes. When this author’s Audi S4 rolled off of the production line in February of 2005, efficiency, CO2 emissions, and miles per gallon were all secondary—or even tertiary—concerns to the big, naturally aspirated V-8 planted under its hood. In 2020, as we set off to drive a prototype version of the 2021 Volkswagen ID4, the opposite could not be more true, and that little black S4 seems all the more a relic. The electric future we’re waiting for isn’t the future at all—it’s right here, right now. There isn’t much doubt that Dieselgate put VW into a bit of a bind. It forced the company to clean up its act, to commit to a more honest future, and to build the very electric vehicle we drove for this review. An SUV version of the not...
Fashion People Are Obsessed With These 5 Home Décor Trends
When it comes to home décor, Brooklyn-based store Claude Home is one I always turn to for inspiration. A quick glance at its Instagram feed, @claudehome, and you’ll see a steady stream of beautiful spaces designed with cult vintage pieces like Jeanneret chairs, serpentine sofas, brumbury lamps, and waterfall coffee tables—items that you’ll often spot in the homes of fashion insiders. So it came as no surprise that owner Maggie Holladay got her start in fashion before moving into home décor. Chatting with Holladay, I was interested to learn how she ended up in interiors after beginning in fashion. “Right when I turned 21, I landed my dream job with a stylist I looked up to for years,” Holladay explained. “After about a year there, I mentally was drifting away and started to realis...
The Duchess of Cambridge Just Found the Perfect Coat On the High Street
The Duchess of Cambridge’s style is often considered a little bland for the fashion crowd—too many Breton tops, coat dresses and beige patent pumps for the street style set’s liking. Given that she’s representing the royal family on an international stage, Kate Middleton needs to look polished; select classic items she tends to choose will photograph well and won’t date after several months. It’s not an easy task to tick all of these protocol boxes while also pleasing the fashion crowd. However, over the past few years, Kate has been making considerably more fashion-forward choices, favouring sharp tailoring, avoiding bold colours and experimenting with hair accessories. Rather than Queen Elizabeth–style coat dresses in primary hues, she started wear...
Don Diablo Writes Triumphant New AFK Arena Title Anthem, “Invincible”

The mobile fantasy RPG title has achieved a meteoric 60 million downloads since its release in April 2019.

The song’s lyrics triumphantly proclaim, “We are invincible” as Diablo turns the dial on his riser up to full capacity before propelling into a barrage of driving melodic future house synths. As the track transitions into its second verse, all weaknesses and shor...

2020’s Ultimate Look-at-Me Bag Just Launched on Net-a-Porter
When it comes to luxury handbags, there has been a notable shift towards quiet understated styles, and a move away from anything too shouty or distinctive.

As far as mother-daughter duos are concerned, few are as chic as Vanessa Paradis and Lily-Rose Depp. The former model and her It-girl daughter possess that certain je ne sais quoi typical of French women, who seamlessly manage to toe the line between effortless and put together.

2020 Sucks, So Mazda’s Giving 50 “Heroes” a Free MX-5 Miata
Earlier this year as the ongoing health crisis snowballed, Mazda showed its support to our nation’s healthcare workers with free oil changes and car cleaning services. Now, in a fresh act of moral grace, the automaker wants to give Miata sports cars to 50 heroes who have made an impact on their communities this year. Each hero will receive a special-edition MX-5 Miata that marks the automaker’s 100th anniversary. “We had hoped this time would be filled with moments of celebration and appreciation for our fans, employees and partners.

The Easy Outfit Formula Our Editors Plan on Wearing All Autumn
As far as outfit formulas go, there’s nothing quite as easy to throw on in autumn as jeans, boots, a jumper and a coat. It’s an outfit that can take you seamlessly from Sunday brunch to an afternoon at the pub, and in late autumn it’s probably exactly what you’re putting on each morning before you leave the house. We’re big advocates of this simple structure and tend to live in it through autumn and well into winter, mixing in a rotation of our favourite knits against various pairs of comfy jeans. Of course, each look is topped with a warm coat and a scarf or beanie depending on how arctic the temperatures are. Last but not least are the boots. This item finishes the look and can be used to either dress your outfit up or down. High-heeled boots...
