I’ve Replaced All of My Candles With This New Diffuser—Here’s Why
I adore candles. From the room-filling scents and gorgeous jars to the way that lighting one signals a welcome shift into evening and the chance to wind down, I truly love everything about them. So it might seem out of sorts for me to be declaring that for the last couple of weeks, I’ve totally ignored my vast candle collection in favour of a new diffuser, but that’s exactly what’s happened. Enter Aromatherapy Associates The Atomiser (£120). I’ll be honest. I’ve never really gotten the fuss about diffusers. With reed diffusers, I always forget to flip the reeds over for a periodic fragrance boost, and I find that the oils tend to evaporate way faster than I would like, leaving an empty bottle of sticks just hanging around on my fireplace for months afterward. ...

20 Dresses That No One Will Ever Guess Came From Marks and Spencer
The brand has recently started stocking a wide range of labels, including a collaboration with Brit dress brand Ghost. However, you also can’t go wrong with the main-line pieces from the likes of Per Una and M&S Collection. The key styles to look out for this summer revolve around two camps: the clean-lined minimalist midis and the colourful printed numbers. M&S offers both in abundance, from linen shifts and loose T-shirt dresses to throw-on leopard-print shirt dresses and puff-sleeve floral numbers. It’s hard to choose, but I would have to say that my favourite piece is the black jersey T-shirt dress, which would pair perfectly with my favourite chunky sandals for easy weekend dressing. Meanwhile, the lace-trim white midi only needs tan access...

2022 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door First Look: Feeling Six-y
When the competition involves Porsche, Audi, and BMW, it is vital to fine-tune the mechanicals, upgrade tech features, and maintain a fresh appearance. Enter the 2022 Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door, a luxury fastback that drives like an untamed sports car. While Mercedes is mum on details related to the V-8-powered 2022 GT63 and GT63 S 4-Door models, the brand is eager to share details about its six-cylinder 2022 GT43 and GT53 4-Doors, both of which maintain much the same styling as before. That said, the latter adds a new styling package option that gives the six-cylinder model a bit of flair from its V-8 stablemates. See all 40 photos The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe went on sale in 2019 and rather quickly became a finalist at our 2020 Car of the Year competition. During our rigorous testin...
How the Ford F-150 Lightning Electric Truck Is so Darn Cheap
Weeks after the electric Lightning was unveiled to the public, people are still talking about it, thanks to its relatively affordable pricing and solid performance. In fact, the Lightning is set to take the title as the quickest F-150 model thanks to its estimated 4.4-second 0-60-mph time. Credit the truck’s two electric motors, which provide 563 hp and 775 lb-ft of torque. The Lightning’s well as its extended-range battery pack, meanwhile, offers an estimated driving range of 300 miles on a single charge. How, then, did Ford manage to make the Lightning so affordable? The F-150 Lightning’s Been a Long Time Coming We were surprised to learn that Ford has long wanted to do an electric truck but needed a higher density battery than those it had available. “We cou...

58 Looks That Prove Balayage Is Still the Chicest Hair Trend Out There
The result was everything I’d hoped for. Subtle hints of blonde shone through the lengths, blending seamlessly into my natural colour at the roots. A couple of years later, and it seemed this new hair colour trend had a name: balayage. While for decades, hair-colouring techniques in the UK had been based solely around a strict menu of block colour, full-head highlights, half-head highlights or T-section highlights, leading UK hairstylists were starting to adopt more tailored, international techniques, and balayage was the first big movement. Since that moment, I’ve more or less stuck to my balayage roots (pun totally intended) and only really switched up my colour to experiment with other forms of balayage. And in all honesty, I’m not sure I’ll ever look back. When it comes to going to the...
Make Way For the It Bag That’ll Be Everywhere This Summer
We knew designer tote bags were going to be a thing back in January when Net-a-Porter revealed it had bought heavily into totes; in particular, Chloé’s Woody tote, which has sold out twice since landing earlier this spring. That, however, was only the beginning. Over the past few months, Loewe’s bright baskets have been glued to the arms of the industry’s most adept dressers, while Dior’s canvas style has become something of a status symbol, too, confirming that polished tote bags are undoubtedly having a moment. That said, it’s not all about straw and canvas—large leather totes are on the up, with Dragon Diffusion and Bottega Veneta’s woven iterations also proving popular fashion circles. So there really is a designer tote bag to suit you, whatever...
How to Look Like You’re Wearing The Row When You Don’t Have an Olsen Budget
Just in the same way that there is a mythical allure attached to French style, there is something magical and intangibly cool attached to the Olsen twins. Their uber-luxurious brand, The Row, has fared well through the pandemic months, with retailer tidbits coming into us that those with the wealth are bulk-buying the brand’s fine quality basics, such as perfect-fit jumpers, plain trousers and pared-back leather-goods. It’s the trousers from this label that have been particularly popular of late: Rosie Huntington-Whitely, Danielle Haim and Kendall Jenner have all been spotted in a pair of beige-coloured slacks that you could easily pass of as vintage or menswear or from some small minimalistic indie brand, and yet the £1400 Phoebe trousers have become a cult item because i...
I’ve Tried Hundreds of Sunscreens, But This New SPF Is Hands Down My Favourite
While I think that the importance of wearing SPF is pretty universally known by now, it doesn’t take away from the fact that a lot of people still avoid using it on a daily basis. It might well be the only product that actually protects our skin from sun damage—including the resulting pigmentation, dryness, fine lines and potentially something worse—but I’ll admit that it’s hardly the most luxurious of skincare products to use. In fact, some are downright horrible to wear. While I now wear sunscreen religiously every single day (I’ve heard too many horror stories from dermatologists to skip it), I actually avoided it entirely for years for fear that the traditionally thick and greasy SPFs would clog my pores and exacerbate my breakouts. How...
Unplugged Performance Reveals Insane Model S Plaid Pikes Peak Racer
On June 10, 2021, Elon Musk formally kicked off deliveries of the 1,020-hp Tesla Model S Plaid. Approximately two days later, on June 12, Unplugged Performance debuted its race-prepped Model S Plaid that’s set to compete at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (with our resident pro racing driver, Randy Pobst, behind the wheel). You might remember that at last year’s race Pobst had a little moment and unexpectedly flew the Unplugged Performance Model 3 off the course. In a feat of determination, the Unplugged Performance team rebuilt the car overnight, and Pobst placed second in the exhibition class—and in a car with only half its horsepower! What Is It? Unplugged Performance’s Plaid racecar uses the stock powertrain from the top-line Model S. The interior is almo...
