Swatch & Audemars Piguet Liberate The Royal Oak From The Wrist

Tanisha Angel — Wed, 13 May 2026 21:16:43 +0000

After a week of setting speculation in the watch world—and beyond—aligt and spurring denizens to send AI generators into overdrive attempting to come up with their own imagery of a plastic-clad Royal Oak, Swatch and Audemars Piguet have unveiled their collaboration, the Royal Pop. And no, it’s not a wristwatch. Circumventing the complete dilution of the Audemars Piguet DNA, the brand has adroitly steered away from creating a plastic Royal Oak knock-off wristwatch (early CasiOak adopters can breathe a sigh […]

17 Sneakers That Are More At Home Paired With A Suit Than On The Field

The once opposing categories of dress shoes and sneakers have united, resulting in the rise of the elegant sneaker. Steering away from the sporty provenance of sneakers, luxury designers and fashion houses are applying their elevated design codes to the inherently comfortable shoes, resulting in sneakers that can take the place of oxfords, loafers, or derbies and don’t look out of place paired with a suit. How to wear sneakers with a suit Wearing sneakers with a suit has gradually […]

Drams Down Under; The Best Australian Whisky Brands

Tanisha Angel — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 02:34:22 +0000

The Australian whisky industry is all grown up. While whisky production in Australia dates back to 1820, the landscape is vastly different two centuries on — for starters, when Australia first started producing whisky, Tasmania was still called Van Diemen’s Land. The Australian whisky industry has experienced several incarnations (and a fair few disruptions), however the state of the industry as we know it today starts just over three decades ago, with the opening of Lark Distillery in 1992 which […]

Don’t Be A Fragrance Monogamist; Here’s Why You Should Create A Fragrance Wardrobe

Tanisha Angel — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 10:53:34 +0000

For decades, scent purists and celebrities alike have touted having a signature scent as an inimitably chic move. Yet therein lies the trouble. A signature represents one’s mark on the world and thus needs to be unique to you; unless you’re running a fragrance lab in your garage and have managed to concoct your own scent, there’s a good chance there are thousands of people who also start the day by spritzing your ‘signature’ scent onto their necks and wrists. […]

Wine Files: A Cheat Sheet For The Must-Know Wine Regions In France

Tanisha Angel — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 10:24:31 +0000

It’s impossible to have a discussion about wine without mentioning France. While new world producers like Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and Argentina have grown into formidable wine regions in their own right and there’s an emerging interest in lesser explored old world producers like Armenia, Hungary, Lebanon, Cyprus, and Georgia—the birthplace of wine—France continues to be a reference point for oenophiles and the wine industry at large. Grape varietals such as cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, and pinot noir are […]

Rose Perfumes Are Back; These Are 11 Of The Best

Tanisha Angel — Sat, 11 Apr 2026 04:46:16 +0000

Much like any other olfactory note that has achieved widespread mainstream popularity—hello, vanilla—rose perfumes are often unfairly maligned. Hamstrung by its own likeability and familiarity, rose fragrances tend to be dismissed as crowd pleasers, generic, old lady-esque, or, the ultimate modern insult — basic. There’s often also a certain sense of olfactory contrarianism at play, with it being perceived as interesting (edgy, even) to disparage rose perfumes and the somewhat feminine, delicate connotations they may carry. Contemporary perfumers have responded […]

A Beauty Editor Reviews The Best (& Worst) Lip Stains & Tints On The Market

Tanisha Angel — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 06:17:56 +0000

I’m not great at applying makeup. My makeup routine essentially consists of slapping foundation onto my face and hoping for the best. However, one product that has been a constant in my routine for well over a decade is a lip stain. Like most children of the 2000s, lip gloss was my first foray into the vast world of lip colour — and I welcomed its high maintenance nature, with its constant need for reapplication acting as a low brow […]

Universal Genève Makes A Triumphant Return With A Bevy Of New Watches

Tanisha Angel — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 02:43:01 +0000

One of the most lauded manufactures in the world, Universal Genève was founded in Le Loche, Switzerland in 1894 by Numa-Emile Descombes and Ulysse-Georges Perret; beginning its life as Universal Watch before relocating to a new headquarters on Geneva’s Rue du Rhône and taking the first steps to becoming the brand we know—and have missed until—today. Under the leadership of Raoul Perret, who took the reins in 1932, Universal Genève became known as ‘Le Couturier de la Montre’, or the […]

White Floral Perfumes Are Far Less Innocent Than They Look

Tanisha Angel — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 01:57:48 +0000

“I don’t like floral perfumes,” some people like to smugly assert, before proclaiming they favour the timeless elegance of Chanel No. 5 or the breezy sophistication of Diptyque Do Son. Of course, those who make such asinine statements are typically referring to those obvious florals. You know — rose, peony, violet, lavender, iris, heliotrope…often paired with lashes of red fruits and underscored by sweet musks. But it would be remiss to dismiss the most varied fragrance category based on one’s […]
