The Met Annual Gala is quite possibly the most fashionable night of the year and this years was no exception. Bring together the creme de la creme of Hollywood’s A-listers and the leaders in the fashion industry to celebrate the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s fashion exhibit, “Charles James: Beyond Fashion.”
Now it’s coming into summer many of us turn our attention to improving our physique. Noticeable, physical changes usually start to take shape around 4-6 weeks after commencing a workout programme. However, a two month schedule allows time to see the results whilst preventing putting the body through extreme and sometimes unmaintainable measures.
As always we like to round up the week’s videos that have gone completely viral on the internet. It’s very difficult to predict what will trend and what won’t and sometimes the videos can be too random for anyone to explain. This week we have an unbelievable goal from Cristiano Ronaldo to equalise against Valencia, a lip synch from Emma Stone, a hilarious news clip and the guys who brought us ‘How Animals Eat Their Food’ (a video which has amassed 100 million views) are back with another instalment.
Nobody has the time to slow down these days; we’re all in a rush to get things done. I bet you’re skim-reading this on your way to a meeting as well. We rush our way through lunch, we make a dash when making love (tsk tsk!) and we speed through our workout sessions at the gym,
Originally founded in 1798 by John Sinclair, under the name Ledaig, Tobermory is the only distillery on the majestic Isle of Mull and is one of the oldest commercial distillery’s in Scotland.
E-book publishers have recently faced a jot of (justifiable) criticism for their rather exorbitant prices. After all, if an e-book saves the publisher money on ink, paper, design, manufacture and delivery, then the price should be reflected as much – unfortunately this is not always the case. However, there are still hundreds of titles that bookworms can find for free on e-book stores, here are some of the best free books for the Kindle.
What’s it like being a billionaire? What makes them tick? How did they achieve such great prosperity? Here are ten common traits that most billionaires have – follow these behaviors and maybe you too will achieve great wealth.
It’s a romantic notion we know, but one that never really fades.
Those who think that rosé wine is made by a serendipitous blending of red and white wines are probably those who equate the category with mediocrity and a certain confected style which is devoid of character and complexity. This perception is gradually changing as it comes to be realised that rosé is made by bleeding juice off the skins of red grapes and thereby acquires a personality all of its own, an identity which can show off the merits of varietal or provenance, and should be as distinctive as it is delicious. In essence a good rosé will marry juicy fruit with a subtle but firm structure which ensures versatility. The burgeoning sales of the category bear testament to this resurrection, a phenomenon which shows no signs of abating. Here, Berry Bros. & Rudd recommend their best Summer Rosé wines.
If there’s one car manufacturer that’s constantly pushing the boundaries of technology and showing us what the future holds, on four wheels, then that has to be BMW. Their current line up of cars wouldn’t look out of place in Silicon Valley, with ‘intelligent stereo camera’ this and ‘Servotronic’ that. The Vision Future Luxury concept car though, takes things to a whole new level.
Wherever he is going and for whatever reason, a gentleman must always travel in style. This extend from his clothes and luggage all the way through to his travelling etiquette. Whether you are going for a quick city break or a beach retreat, make sure you get from A to B in ultimate style with our gentleman’s guide to travel.
When it comes to the summer months, if the weather holds, sometimes all you want to do is to escape the country. Here are our top country retreats with all the space, grandeur, luxury and Englishness that you could ask for.
Sometimes, it is just not possible to hold it in. Earlier this week, all niceties went out the window when Scottish brewer BrewDog wrote a hilariously sarcastic and scathing press release. It was in response to the Portman Group who had rejected the company’s Dead Pony Club Ale stating that it the packaging encouraged antisocial behaviour and binge drinking. It was this that caused BrewDog to sidestep the normal polite formalities and released this on their blog instead. Titled #sorrynotsorry, this press release has gone completely viral and, once you read it, it is not hard to see why. Enjoy.
We all know that there are certain sports that turn over a hell of a lot of cash. In the US, it’s the National Football League and National Basketball Association whereas in Europe it is all about football (or soccer). Everyone has an opinion on whether these guys should be earning the big bucks but, whatever your thoughts on the subject, there is no denying that they do. Here are the Top 20 highest paid athletes in the world according the ESPN.
With ample developments in design and technology across the board, there are so many more low cost timepieces that are impressing and delighting us. Our selection of the best watches under £2,500 features the modern as well as the retro, the vibrant as well as the classic. Take a look and decide which you will be making as your next investment.
Some love him, some hate him (jealousy perhaps?), whatever your view on Ryan Gosling there is no denying the guy has style – and tons of it at that. Yes, we could show you a selection of his best black tie moments (of which there are many), but it’s his off-duty look that we can’t get enough of. Take him as your summer style inspiration, no matter where you are or what you’re doing and you too will have women swooning over you and your style for the whole season to come.
With yet another Bank Holiday Weekend just around the corner, we turn our attention to drinks, because, well, why not? In honour of the ‘Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sport’, The Kentucky Derby, on May 2nd and 3rd, one of our favourite bars, The Whip (Mayfair’s hidden drinking destination), is having a Southern celebration and we can’t wait to get involved.
With this new release trailer comes an exciting new development: a closer look at the monster! Though Godzilla fans have been merely teased with sighting of the monster in past promos, this latest Asian release trailer gives us a better look at the ferocious beast and it has got people excited. Starring a stella cast of Bryan Cranston, Elizabeth Olsen, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Ken Watanabe and Juliette Binoche, this Gareth Edwards directed film is set to be explosive, epic and full of edge of your seat action. We, for one, cannot wait for the release.
