If you’re looking to revamp an LBD or dress up the failsafe jeans-and-a-nice-top combo, then never fear.

As ever, you can expect some of the most beautiful shoes in the world from the likes of Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik and Christian Louboutin, but there are also affordable knockouts from River Island and Zara that’ll make you want to get out your blister plasters and wear nothing but flamboyant heels until the year is out.

Largely Forgotten Painting Turns Out to Be Genuine Artwork by Rembrandt
For years, experts at The Hague’s Museum Bredius dismissed an oil painting for a true piece by Rembrandt, thinking that it was merely produced by a follower of the Dutch master. First reported by The Guardian, Johanneke Verhave, along with fellow researcher, Jeroen Giltaij, who serves as the chief curator of old paintings at Rotterdam’s Boijmans Van Beuningen museum, closely studied the painting — titled The Raising of the Cross, which was created in the 1640s. “The quality of the details are so well done that I am convinced that this is a Rembrandt,” Giltaij told The Guardian. The painting was first brought to the museum in 1921 by Abraham Bredius, who was convinced of its authenticity. Due to the lack of detail in the painting’s brushstrokes, the work was largely scoffed at by experts at...
The 2022 ADAA Art Show Is Back at New York’s Park Avenue Armory
The Art Dealers Association of America’s (ADAA) annual The Art Show is back in full swing. This year’s edition boasts 78 different exhibitors, including 55 solo exhibitions from around the world – the most in the fair’s history.

Amongst the list of exhibitor’s at the 2022 edition, Cristin Tierney Gallery will present multilayered compositions from Joe Fig’s The Contemplation Series.

6 British Trends French Girls Have Adopted As Their Own
We talk a great deal about French style, and we talk a great deal about British style, but we talk very little about how the two aesthetics combine. Of course, boundaries of fashion aren’t set in stone, but, generally speaking, there are some pieces that feel distinctly more French and some that loan themselves more to the British dressing adroit. You might think these fall into cliché territory—berets for Parisians, Chelsea boots for Londoners, for example. Thinking that only people from the countries where these fashion items originate wear them is silly—of course, that’s not the case. However, it got me thinking about which clothing French girls love to wear has a British heritage, and vice-versa. Today, I’m going to explore the former. Below you’ll fin...

29 Impressive High-Street Puffer Coats That Are Perfect for Autumn
Puffer coats have long been considered practical. But stylish? Thanks to a host of designer interpretations of the cosy, borderline-ugly outerwear, they’ve become something of a fashion-insider must-have. Arguably, it was 2020 when the puffer coat’s sartorial status really reached its peak. Socialising outdoors was considered the norm, and the likes of Bottega Veneta and Totême created very special puffer coats, the majority of which swiftly made their way to the top of many an editor’s and influencer’s wish list. Since then, the duvet coat became essential for many of us—and not just those with budgets for the designer versions. In February, according to global fashion search platform Lyst, searches for “duvet coat” rose quickl...

Collectors: Jarl Mohn
“I think the best advice I’ve heard from a lot of people is: you should collect what it is you love, you should learn it.” Are those sounds just the installation? Those are the white lights. There’s a series of LED lights that provide color and another series of white lights that are incandescent lights that provide pure white light. There are two rows and when the white lights heat up, they start to expand and that’s the clicking you hear. Notice how blue it is now? When we opened it, which was exactly — which is hard to believe — exactly six minutes ago. I would have described the color as being a very soft cloud white and now it’s blue — an eggshell blue. Do you come to this room everyday or week? Oh no, I would say maybe a couple times a month. I actually prefer to do it when I’ve got ...
I’ve Tried Dozens of Skin Supplements—These Are The 7 That Make A Difference
In fact, according to Perretta, it can take at least three months before the benefits become visible. “Each supplement is unique and everyone is different, so some individuals start to see results earlier,” she says. It goes without saying that consistency and commitment pay off, so don’t make the mistake I initially did of disregarding a supplement because you finished your 30-day supply without noticing a complete transformation. Some might argue that the nutrients provided by food should suffice, and of course a diet naturally rich in vitamins and minerals is ideal, but it’s not always achievable. “Diets low in fruits and vegetables, omega 3 fatty acids, and high in refined carbohydrates, saturated fat, and salt may cause abnormalities to our skin structure and function,” ex...
