I’ve Been a Stylist for 10 Years—These 4 Outfits Always Look Good
When I was at university, my ever-stylish flatmate taught me that as long as you always have a good white T-shirt and perfect-fit jeans in your wardrobe or suitcase, you can’t go wrong. It really is the greatest combo, and over the years, I’ve searched for the perfect T-shirt. My original fave was by James Perse. At one point, I had four of the exact same tee. Now, my ultimate choice is from an L.A.-based brand called Pretties. Pretties originally launched its Baby Tee in the mid-’90s, and everyone who was anyone had one. From Naomi to Cindy to an iconic editorial with Drew Barrymore, these tees were extremely popular. The brand relaunched with a beautiful store in Venice Beach, and I stumbled across it recently. I haven’t looked back because Pretties’ tees ha...
Kendall Jenner Just Brought Back This “Outdated” Jeans Trend, and We’re Obsessed
If ever there was a celebrity to keep an eye on for the next big trend, it’s Kendall Jenner. Sure, some of her style choices are a little more “runway” than everyday (her trouser-free outing is a case in point), but if we look back through some of her more accessible moments, it’s undeniable that her off duty wardrobe isn’t easily matched. Along with the luxe leisurewear, slip on shoes, bomber jackets and knee-high boots, you’re more likely than not to spot Kenny in a pair of jeans, and for a day out and about in Los Angeles earlier this week, she resurrected a previously overlooked style that deserves our full attention: an ultra-high rise, pair of blue cigarette jeans. A little bit mom jean, a lot of straight-leg...

This Cosy, Instagram-Famous Cardigan Is All I Want to Wear Right Now
We know by now that Reformation can be relied upon for many wardrobe winners. Things like beautiful dresses you can pull out summer after summer (if it’s good enough for J.Lo, it’s good enough for us), cult denim styles—and now the brand is adding knitwear to that list. In line with their sustainable ethos, Ref recently dropped a conscious cashmere collection that did not come to play. But there’s one particularly cosy piece from the winter-ready edit that has been swiftly picked up by some of the best-dressed people I know—the Fantino cardigan. Reformation’s Fantino cardigan isn’t your regular cardigan. Firstly, it’s made from 90% recycled cashmere, meaning 87% less of the carbon impact than conventional cashmere but still with “100% of the cuteness”, according to the...
Mercedes-Benz Is Launching Its Own High-Speed EV Charging Network
Mercedes-Benz is stepping up its EV game as much as possible as it works towards its goal to go all-electric by 2030. The German automaker recently announced in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) that it has plans to launch its own high-powered EV charging network by the end of this year. Starting in North America, Mercedes-Benz is moving forward with this portion of its all-electric strategy by ensuring effortless and rapid charging for its current and future EV car owners. The plan is to establish more than 10,000 high-power charging stations across the globe, spanning from North America, Europe, China and other main markets. According to a press release, Mercedes-Benz is offering pre-booking options for a charging station straight from their cars. Mercedes-Benz is also foc...
Tesla Introduces Round Steering Wheel Option
After a number of car owners complained about difficulties in getting used to the yoke butterfly steering wheel, Tesla has now quietly introduced an option for a standard round steering wheel for its Model X and Model S cars. Problems voiced by some in the community regarding the yoke include an awkward feeling at the wheel and difficulty in regaining control after slips on the road. As with Tesla’s original rectangular yoke wheels, functions such as honking, turn signals, and windshield wipers will still be controlled via buttons on the new steering wheel. However, another traditional element of the driving experience, the stalk, will still be excluded in Tesla vehicles. The horn is especially controversial, with many owners finding issues with the small size and offset positioning....
Chrysler’s Synthesis Cockpit Previews the Future of Mobility
At CES 2023, Chrysler announced the debut of its Synthesis demonstrator, offering a glimpse into the future of the brand’s car interiors. While most concepts often show flashy car exteriors first, Chrysler takes a different approach this time around, demonstrating the possibilities of the cabin experience. The smart cockpit learns to adapt to the driver over time and is equipped with Level 3 autonomous driving allowing for a completely hands-free, eyes-off experience on the road. Stepping into the conceptual two-seater, the design is elegant and futuristic, made with premium, responsibly-sourced materials. A virtual personal assistant greets the driver automatically via biometric recognition and synthesizes multiple aspects of the customer experience including calendars, charge statu...
Daniel Arsham’s “VEILED PORSCHE” Sculpture Reveals the Porsche 930 Turbo
Following his team-up with Porsche and Mandala Club for Singapore Art Week 2023, NYC-based artist Daniel Arsham has revealed his latest sculptural project, which nods to the exact vehicle manufacturer. The new artwork sees Arsham continue to showcase his affinity for sports cars by paying tribute to the Porsche 930 Turbo produced from 1974 to 1989. The classic automobile is displayed with a baby blue tint, promoting its original construction with detailed accents that bring it to life. The small-scale sculpture is titled “VEILED PORSCHE,” displayed in Daniel Arsham’s typical design language that boasts a flowing car cover frozen mid-air. As if preserved through time, Arsham employs an antique draping technique that showcases the vintage vehicle in transit, giving off a contemporary feel. T...
Watch Dillon Francis Endure Hilarious Fantasy Football Punishment In An IHOP
We suspect Dillon Francis won’t be returning to IHOP anytime soon. After coming in last place in his fantasy football league, the superstar DJ and dance music producer headed to the breakfast chain to serve a punishment that pushed his appetite to its limits. Francis was sentenced to spend 24 hours in IHOP for a punishment whose timeframe could only be reduced by eating pancakes. For every flapjack he consumed, Francis could effectively scale down his punishment by one hour. The supersized pancakes withered Francis’ initial sense of confidence, but he was dogged in his fight to shave time off the clock. Documenting his efforts in a TikTok video, he is seen passing the painful hours in-between helpings by napping perusing miscellaneous YouTube tutorials. Scroll to Cont...

Trust Us—These 7 Wellbeing Tips Are Guaranteed Mood-Boosters
As for myself, I always find the winter months a challenge, and I’m prone to feeling low when the sun disappears by 4pm—not to mention trying to wake up on dark mornings! I find I always wake up feeling groggy around this time of the year. Last year, I took the plunge and invested in a Lumi alarm clock, and it’s totally changed the game for how I start my day. If you’re not familiar with Lumi, it’s an alarm clock that mimics a sunrise to wake you up gradually. Rather than waking up to the shrill sound of my iPhone alarm, I now wake up to the gentle glow of the light, which gradually illuminates half an hour from when you want to wake up. I’m a heavy sleeper, so I’m reassured that you can also set it to make a noise during the alarm, but more often than not, I’ll wake up before my alarm chi...
