Is tech wear the new street wear? Yes please if it’s going along these lines…
Here’s a new hi tech idea from Ralph Lauren. Annoyingly, the Polo 11 jacket (above), a Bluetooth-controlled self heating jacket that warms up with the aid of an app, is strictly limited edition so will probably only be seen on a few ‘influencers’ and undeserving celebs (more…)
The H&M group really is killing it on the high street imo. COS, Arket and & Other Stories are my current high street go-tos for perennial pieces with a fashion edge that aren’t going to date by the time I’ve hung them up.
H&M has just created another winner with its H&M X Eytys collab of unisex shoes, clothes and accessories that just launched last week. It’s a pretty tight collection of streety chinos, boxy tees and the signature Eytys sneaker – in fact, lots of the best bits have already sold out online. (more…)
“[Sontag’s 1989 book] ‘AIDS and Its Metaphors’ was such an important work. It shoved us along in our grudging recognition and understanding of H.I.V. and the isolation it brings.

I really prefer less is more makeup with the odd push in a more adventurous direction. So I guess that’s why I always return to Bobbi Brown and Chanel.

These new additions to the OG Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint are perfect (more…)
