Leaked: The Jeep Gladiator Adds a Retro Willys Trim for 2021
The 2020 Jeep Gladiator is a well-packaged truck that’s extremely capable off the beaten path. It was a welcome addition to the Jeep lineup, and according to JeepGladitorForum.com, a few new trim levels are coming to the Gladiator for the 2021 model year. One forum poster claims to have obtained a leaked dealer bulletin that confirms the truck will get a Willys package and an 80th Anniversary Edition model for the new model year. <!– –> Much like the Willys trim level that’s already available on the Wrangler, the Gladiator’s Willys package will come in two levels: the Willys Sport and the Willys (the Willys Sport being the cheaper of the two). All Willys-trimmed Gladiators will get black 17-inch wheels with mud-terrain tires, rock rails from the Rubicon ...
The Complete Capsule: 9 Essentials to Carry You Through Till Autumn
Well, summer has well and truly arrived along with the unpredictable British weather. While we’re spending more time outdoors now, we still need some staples that will make sense for our prolonged-time indoors too. So what are we wearing now and into Autumn 2020? For us, whether we’re inside or outside, it will be a capsule consisting of versatile, wear-with-everything staples. From polo tops and patterned skirts to floral dresses and chunky sandals, this summer, we’ll be investing in not only items that can easily be mixed and matched but also items that will remain on high rotation in our closets for seasons to come. Puff-sleeve tops, which have been popular throughout the year, will continue their reign in our wardrobes. Though, seasonal iterations will feature crisp ...
This Concealer Has a 5000-Strong Waiting List and for Good Reason
Having spent the best part of a decade writing about fashion and beauty, I’ve come across many makeup artists in my time, all of whom have provided me with different tricks of the trade and product recommendations. Of course, the advice they’ve shared with me has differed depending on their makeup aesthetic and the clientele they work with, but I can safely say that all of them agree on this one piece of wisdom: Concealer is, without a doubt, the most important makeup you can own. With the power to blur, highlight, and, of course, conceal, its uses are about as limitless as a beauty buy can be, making it one of the hardest-working items in your makeup bag. That’s why it’s of the utmost importance to ensure you find the right one for you. As someone who has always su...
These 31 Looks Prove Every Day a Good Hair Day for Sienna Miller
When it comes to consistently good hair days, there’s one woman who seems to have been blessed by the beauty gods: Sienna Miller. Her iconic beachy blonde waves have been turning heads since her first breakout role in Layer Cake back in 2004. Sure, 16 years may have passed, but Sienna is still influencing our style to this day; be it our wardrobes or our beauty routines. Her hair, however, is the stuff of legend. In fact, when I last went to the hairdresser, brandishing tears of Sienna’s gorgeous locks on my phone for her to recreate, my stylist revealed that the majority of her blonde-haired clients will show her snaps of Sienna Miller as a reference. Which got me thinking—why isn’t there a place where I can access all of Sienna Miller’s hair looks in a single swi...
5 Jeans-and-Jumper Outfits You Can Wear Now and in Autumn
Why am I writing about jumpers and jeans when by the end of this week, there’s going to be a heatwave? Good question. For me, I love to plan ahead. I come from a family that likes to whip out the Excel spreadsheet by the end of summer for Christmas dinner (expecting this year’s imminently), so it’s been ingrained in me for years. This indoctrinated behaviour stretches to my wardrobe, as I like to know what I can bank on wearing come the new season. Right now, that means finding the outfits that will work just as summer’s ending and autumn is beginning, aka jeans-and-jumper outfits. Below, I’ve collected a few of my favourite looks that will work with any kind of footwear you choose—whether it’s still warm and you want sandals or it’s already boot ...
Gigi Hadid’s Hairstylist Just Told Me How She Creates Her Beachy Waves
I go on about this a lot, but nothing gets me down more than the fact that my hair is lifeless and lacking texture. I can spend up to two hours tonging it and misting it with several different sprays and still not manage to achieve the effortlessly tousled look I so crave. At the end of the whole ordeal, I’m left with one of two hair looks: matted, flat and greasy as a result of the excess product in there or a Dolly Parton–esque bouffant. If you ask me, achieving beachy lengths that look effortless is one of my hardest beauty feats. And while I’m still eagerly anticipating my post-lockdown haircut, it’s safe to say that I am looking for all of the tips to style out my rather ridiculously long hair right now. Luckily for me, I recently got the chance to sit down with Laura Polko, T3 ambas...
These 23 Buys Have Made My Bathroom the Chicest Room in the House
When it comes to shopping, fewer things bring me more joy than purchasing pieces for my bathroom. As someone who loves nothing more than ending the day with a drawn-out soak, I consider my bathroom to be my own personal sanctuary. Of course, it’s also the room in which I kick-start my routine every morning, which is why I think it’s of the utmost importance that we all create tranquil, stylish bathroom spaces to spend these precious parts of our days in. A chaotic scene is not conducive to relaxation, after all. Aside from plumbing fixtures and tiles, there are so many ways to help elevate your bathroom, and needless to say, beauty products are a good place to start. While you’ll likely have a cupboard lined with lotions and potions, it’s important to think about the bathroom beauty produ...
Pretty Face Masks Exist—I’ve Found 25 of Them
As I’m now slowly venturing out into London again, I’m building up my collection of face masks so that I have one readily available in all of my handbags. This is an important item for practical purposes. I’m certainly not suggesting it is purely a fashion statement, but nevertheless, I’m finding myself drawn to the leopard- and floral-printed varieties that are now available. Numerous designers and high-street brands have branched out into face masks, so you can now buy a printed Rixo or O Pioneers mask to match your midi dresses. Gap and Mango have plenty of reusable face masks, in gingham, polka-dot and animal prints. While if you want to support smaller British designers or independent brands during this time, the British Fashion Council has teamed up with Bags ...
Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition Interior Review
Behold, the only American car you can factory order and pick up at a dealership that features body assembly completed by an independent coachbuilder, just as luxury automobiles like Duesenbergs—and Lincolns—often were in the classic era: the Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition. Anyone can plainly see the extensive modifications the coachbuilders made in stretching the bodywork and reengineering those Rolls-Royce-aping rear-hinged—don’t-call-‘em-suicide—rear doors. But how did they do on the inside? Is this the Rolls-Royce Ghost of American luxury-car interiors? Let’s start off by noting that nothing much changes forward of the B-Pillar, so we’ll focus on the rear-seat experience here and refer you to our 2017 Lincoln Continental Black Label Interior Review for details on the cockpit, i...
Fast and Furious 9: Behind the Scenes of the ‘One Shot’ Music Video
We’re standing in an alley just east of Downtown L.A. between run-down warehouses. A black helicopter is sitting in the parking lot behind a chain-link fence, engine running. Over the roar of the chopper comes shouting: “Three, two, one, action!” A bright orange Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody comes screaming down the alley, turns, and nails the throttle—drifting through an open gate and coming to a stop just short of the helo. And …“Cut!” It’s not the set of Fast 9, the latest movie in the Fast and The Furious mega franchise, but it feels like it, and that’s the point. We’re actually on the set of the SixTwentySix’s music video production for “One Shot” by YoungBoy Never Broke Again featuring Lil Baby—the breakout hit from the official “Road to Fast 9” mixtape. With the song inspired by th...

I Selected the Best Autumn-Ready Buys From & Other Stories, Arket and Zara
We really are spoilt when it comes to high street fashion here in the UK. Every season, whatever your budget, you know you can find pieces that will tug on your heart strings without breaking the bank. There has also been a push over the last few seasons for the high street to create designs that don’t just cater to transient trends, but rather offer longevity and timeless style. This is certainly the case for autumn/winter 2020, and with the first few signs of the new season appearing in stores, I can tell you now that it’s going to be a good one. & Other Stories, Arket and Zara in particular have pushed the boat out this year with expensive-looking autumn-ready pieces. Premium-feel fabrics and sculptural silhouettes seem to be the name of the game for 2020, as do classi...
