Rolls-Royce Officially Unveils Its All-Electric Spectre
It’s official, the luxury British manufacturer Rolls-Royce is going all-electric by 2030, and to kick things off it has officially unveiled the much-anticipated Spectre. Coming in as Rolls-Royce’s first fully-electric motor car, the Spectre brings together the marque’s iconic design language and its high-quality ethos alongside a vision of the future that’s soon becoming a reality. In turn, we find a car that’s entirely new from the ground up. Made from aluminum to keep weight down, the Spectre shows how Rolls-Royce’s cars are inherently fit for the world of electrification. For example, electric cars are often quick, quiet and luxurious by default — everything a Rolls-Royce stands for and is. For the Spectre this is elevated with the currents of E...

The 25 Chicest Almond Shape Nail Designs to Copy
Almond nails are one of the most flattering nail shapes. As it name suggests, this nail shape resemble an almond. “An almond shape can be described as a short to mid length tapered nail with a rounded tip,” says celebrity nail artist and founder of The Editorial Nail, Gracie J. “An almond elegantly elongates the hands and fingers, and this shape is best suited for the manicure lovers who are very hands-on and need functionality in their day to day,” she adds. So, if your nails are prone to breakage, this might just be the perfect nail shape for you. Whether on short or long nails, the almond shape looks great on any fingernail length and the elongated shape allows plenty of room for nail art experimentation, or choosing a bold nail colour to make...
Sephora Just Launched in the UK—Here’s What I’m Adding to Basket
In case you missed it, Sephora has officially landed in the UK online. It’s quite possibly the biggest beauty news of the year, and we could not be more excited for it.

If Your Skin Is Stressed, Try Changing This One Easy Part of Your Routine
Understanding the role of probiotics starts with understanding the role of the microbiome. Essentially, our bodies function alongside a whole network of microorganisms that cohabit in certain areas. For example, we have very prominent microbiomes in our guts and up our noses—in fact, we have living microbiomes in virtually every part of our bodies. These microbiomes are made up of trillions of microbes, consisting of bacteria, fungi and viruses, that help our bodies function and protect it from harm. And yep, you guessed it, our skin’s microbiome is really important, too. “Essentially, your skin’s microbiome prevents organisms such as fungi, viruses and infections penetrating your skin and causing issues such as infection and inflammation,” explains Lau...
Kellen Hatanaka Challenges the Perception of Asian Identity in New Exhibition
Kellen Hatanaka’s latest exhibition is less of an art show and more of a question. How does one participate in a culture outside of their own in pursuit of community and representation? My Peoples Are You With Me Where You At uses this premise as its point of departure. Borrowing its title from the chorus in Wu-Tang Clan’s “Da Mystery of Chessboxin’”, Hatanaka presents 12 new paintings that question and consider Asian identity and the place it holds in contemporary western culture. Hatanaka has long understood the mirror that sports holds to society and has worked with a variety of publications and teams in the past, from VICTORY JOURNAL to the Toronto Blue Jays, where he spotlights the history and storytelling that surround our favorite pastimes. Each of the new paintings on view follows ...

Jeremy Olson’s “Monsters” go on Show at Unit London
In the work of Jeremy Olson, the turbulent times we’re living through – be it societally, politically, economically, or environmentally – are consistent themes. Teamed with a life-long interest in sci-fi and horror, the Brooklyn-based artist translates these concepts into a series of otherworldly beings, which are set to go on show at Unit London this week. For the show, named “This Time of Monsters”, Olson has created a new body of work encompassing large-scale painting, 3D-printed sculpture, and mixed media pieces. For the latter, the artist has revisited his signature process of casting the alien-like creatures, before placing them in front of painted futuristic scenes. In terms of aesthetics, Olson is heavily inspired by 1960s Modernism – evident through his use of color and curving fo...
I’ve Done the Research—These Are the 8 Best Shoes to Wear With Midi Dresses
It’s bizarre to think that there was a time when midi dresses weren’t as prevalent as they are now, but such a time did exist, and I practically shudder at the thought. Without midi dresses, my wardrobe would certainly be a less fabulous place. My outfits would probably involve jeans at any given turn. But thankfully, midi dresses are considered a closet staple—one which I certainly get endless wear out of. As easy as they are to throw on, you still need to consider how to style your midi dresses, and perhaps the most important component of any midi-dress look is shoes. Now, more shoes work with midi dresses than ones that don’t, so this isn’t a styling dilemma you need to lose sleep over. That said, there are some shoe styles I think work especially well with ...
Brit Girls Love This French Hairstyle—6 Expert Tips On How To Get It Right
“Curtain bangs are soft, flowy, and longer than more traditional styles of fringe or bangs that sit at or above the brow,” explains celebrity hairstylist David Lopez. “It gently splits open in the centre, and sit just along the cheekbones. Unless you have super-coily or textured hair, they’re wearable for almost any length or hair type.” Not only are curtain bangs chic and beautiful in their own right, but they also have the added benefit of immediately elevating the look of ponytails or messy buns. Lopez notes they can even give the face a subtle slimming effect (if you’re into that) since they simultaneously open up the eye area and hug in your cheekbones. Of course, like any specific haircut, getting used to and styling this f...
Beige Is My Favourite Colour—20 Pieces That Prove It’s In No Way Boring
Not so long ago, beige was considered boring in fashion circles, but let this be a lesson in how things can drastically change on a turn. Now, beige is the colour trend tethered to the minimalist aesthetic, which is only growing more prevalent on social media and the runways. Take Celine, for example, which continues to play with a muted colour palette in its spring/summer 2023 collection. Serving as the antidote to bright paintbox colours or the bold designs we see in some designer edits, beige provides a sleek solace for quiet dressers. Still, that doesn’t mean that beige can’t be impactful. Of late, I’ve seen more and more fashion types wearing the shade top-to-toe, which is somewhat maximalist in its own way. However, unlike the intricacies that come with styling...
Victoria Beckham Just Made Leggings Look Posh With These Unexpected Shoes
Victoria Beckham doesn’t always wear leggings, but when she does, she makes them look impossibly cool. I’m used to seeing Beckham in her signature midi dresses and skirts, but she was just photographed in New York City wearing classic black leggings. She nixed sneakers in favour of pointy-toe stiletto boots, which instantly elevated her look—she is Posh Spice, after all. Her sock boots are the opposite of athleticwear, but naturally, she pulls them off with aplomb. If you’ve only been wearing your leggings to the gym, consider this your sign to style them with your sexiest pair of boots and go out on the town instead. Scroll down to see how Victoria Beckham is styling leggings right now and shop pieces to re-create her outfit. You Deserve to Make Mone...
