5 Expert-Approved Tips for Your Healthiest Nails Ever

I don’t bite my nails, and I take a bunch of great supplements, but for years, my nails basically didn’t grow at all. Okay, that’s a slight exaggeration—they did grow but only to a little way past the tip of my finger before they’d then break off. I dabbled in acrylics, but that left them feeling weaker than when I started, so honestly, I was stumped. Manicurists would always tell me that I had great nail beds, but while well-meaning, their compliments felt a little redundant if the lengths of my nails were brittle and weak. Thankfully, one of the perks of my job is that I’m able to chat with experts at the top of their trade, and after explaining my concerns to a few nail pros, I suddenly found myself in receipt of a plethora of amazing tips an...

7 Autumn Accessory Trends That Are Already Taking Over

I always used to believe I was a shoe person, until I realised I also equally appreciate bags, and earrings and any other type of accessory going, to be honest. It’s safe to say, when it comes to getting dressed there are no shortage of options for that final flourish these days, but deciphering which new styles to invest in is always a challenge because of the vast array available. It’s that time of year when the lines between seasons are blurred, and with summer sales making room for autumn pieces, it becomes tempting to plan ahead. This is why new-season accessories are a talking point already. While we’re not about to pack away straw bags and flat-forms for next year’s heatwaves just yet, we are ready to welcome items that can transform outfi...

These 19 Marks and Spencer Home Décor Buys Look So Expensive

With everything from bedding to, well, actual beds and kitchenware to pieces to dress your mantel with, Marks and Spencer’s home décor is one of the most expansive out there, making it the ideal one-stop shop for any interior need you may have. This season, the line-up is looking particularly excellent, ticking off classic homeware looks as well as perfectly executing new trends, too.  Mirrors and rugs often come with lofty price tags, but at M&S, there are plenty of styles in both categories that certainly look premium but won’t make you feel anxious when you first check your bank balance after purchasing. Then there’s its faux-plant selection, which is perfect for those of us (myself included) who weren’t blessed with green fingers. Ro...

The 3 Coolest French Women Just Told Me What They’re Buying Right Now

We’ve never been shy of hiding our love of how French women dress. Yes, I know it’s a cliché to want to know their secrets but honestly they really do just nail it. Over the many many years I’ve spent on Instagram getting outfit inspiration I can safely say that I return to the French influencers the most. While they do all have slightly differing styles, the one thing they have in common is that they’re all chic. They never overdo it and it’s always carefully considered (even if it doesn’t seem that way).  Recently, I asked three of my favourite French influencers to tell me what they were shopping right now. Lena Farl because she does the French Provençal look so well, Franny Fyne because she has such an eye for cool tailoring ...

ASOS Just Dropped the Chicest Version of This Summer’s Key Sandal Trend

The moment we saw cage (or fisherman) sandals on Instagram back in 2020, we knew that they were destined for style success, and, lo and behold, they have certainly lived up to their potential this year. Though in mainstream terms, they are still considered a niche trend, they have quickly made the rounds of fashion’s tastemakers, who have been drawn in by the old-school charm of the style. Slowly but surely, brands have been realising the power of cage sandals and creating their own iterations, and this month, it was ASOS’s turn to bring something to the table. With a variety of colourways and styles, the online brand has not scrimped on its offering, which is good news for those on a budget. We particularly have our eye on the premium le...

The Mercedez-Benz G-Wagon Is Going Electric

Back in 2019, the head of Mercedes Ola Källenius announced a commitment for a zero-emissions version of the G-Class line. Those promises have now materialized as parent Daimler AG files paperwork for the names “EQG580” and “EQG560”. A hybrid version of the Mercedes-Benz luxury SUV will arrive first in the winter of 2022, followed by fully electric models in 2024 under the Mercedes-EQ brand. The EQG-Wagons are expected to be revealed as concept cars at the IAA Mobility 2021 motor show in Munich this September. Hybrid production models are expected to go on sale with an estimated starting price slightly above the $132,800 USD G550, while the EQ560 and EQG580 models should be closer to the $157,500 USD starting price of the AMG G63. Prior to the introduction of the EQG...

Apocalypse Has Converted the RAM 1500 TRX Into a $250,000 USD 6×6 Beast

The RAM 1500 TRX is no doubt a beast of a pickup truck in itself, but Florida’s Apocalypse has now dialed things all the way up to 11 with its own 6×6 modification of the vehicle. Aptly dubbed the “Warlord,” the six-wheeler has been impeccably built to retain most of the truck’s stock aesthetics — so much so that it actually looks like it was created by RAM itself. With an extra axle subtly hidden underneath the truck bed, the car now pushes out all 700 horsepower from its supercharged Hellcat engine through all six of its wheels, giving you all the grip you’d ever imagine needing. Just to top things off, Apocalypse is also offering a list of adventurous add-ons including LED lights, larger 40-inch tires, and even thermal night vision. While the Warlord i...

I Usually Hate Foundation, But I’ve Just Added These 15 to My Makeup Stash

Few things in life make me happier than good skin days. Waking up in the morning, looking in the mirror and being met with a flawless, glowing complexion sparks a feeling that can only be described as pure elation. The luxury of not having to slather my face in a greasy layer of pore-clogging foundation is the sort of stuff skin dreams are made of. But the reality is, such days are rare. Most of the time, I wake up to a drab complexion that features pigmentation, discolouration and the remnants of post-breakout scarring, and the only thing I can think about is how to cover it all up. This is where my problem lies. I have spent my life desperately craving the results that a layer of glowy foundation promises, but simultaneously resenting the stuff. First of all, I like m...

I Wear a Different Perfume Every Day, But These 12 Earn Me the Most Compliments

My perfume collection is extensive. As a beauty journalist, I receive a lot of perfume. As long as any given scent doesn’t make me turn my nose up at first sniff, I’ll usually add it to my shelf. The reason for this being that my job is to try as many products as possible and get a feel for them, even if they’re not to my usual tastes. But when it comes to perfume, this can be tricky business. In order to give each fragrance in my lineup a proper go, I try to mix things up every single day. While one day I might try a head-turning oud, the next I might opt for a light musk or spring-like floral. Not just because variety is, of course, the spice of life, but also because I have found that it is the best way to take others by surprise and gauge reactions. And so, after ma...
