London’s best child-friendly hotels for Easter

With the world-leading array of child-friendly museums, pop-ups and attractions across London, booking a sleepover in town is the ultimate family luxury. Spending a night in town means you can squeeze so much more into the day – whilst also making happy memories, be they at the breakfast buffet (my kids’ happy place) or falling asleep together after a West End show.Some hotels might have had a reputation for stuffiness in the old days, but today the capital’s hoteliers are bending over backwards to welcome families in the most imaginative ways. From treasure hunts to child-focused concierges, free kids meals to in-room teepees, my family of five (including kids aged six, four and one) check out the London hotels doing everything they can to ensure children – and their parents – feel extra ...

Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 – engineered to take the rough with the smooth

Royal Enfield pulled off quite a coup when it launched its Himalayan 411 in 2016; oozing with rugged adventure vibes, it found a genuinely enthusiastic following and was a sales success.It wasn’t perfect of course. It was a little crude in places and certainly not fast, but it was fun, capable enough off-road and could be fitted with bespoke alloy panniers for long trips, even if it wasn’t a great motorway cruiser.Now it’s been overhauled from the ground up; engine, suspension and frame have all been redesigned, with the team learning from the old model. It’s a refined gem now and makes quite a visual impression - especially when decked out in the fancy ‘Kamet White’ paint job (five colours are available) and with a full suite of luggage.In place of the air-cooled 411 single making 24.5 bh...

Could family yoga be the new group therapy? The Beckhams think so

To be fair to Posh and Becks, they’ve been repping this trend for a while. Back in 2019, a video of the Beckham brood - Victoria, David, Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Seven - doing yoga on holiday with help of an instructor went viral, not least because it revealed Victoria’s intimidatingly fierce core strength (and David’s bright orange swim shorts).

From creating Amal’s favourite lipsticks to making Magic Cream: Charlotte Tilbury on her life in beauty

I have worked with so many inspiring people, from supermodels like Kate Moss, Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington to red-carpet royalty like Penelope Cruz, Amal Clooney, Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Kidman, Sofia Vergara, Salma Hayek and Phoebe Dynevor, and legends like Sir Elton John … the list is endless. Several have become my close friends. Source link

What’s happening at Celine? Hedi Slimane exits, Phoebe Philo-era designer Michael Rider to take reins as artistic director

“The holistic vision of Hedi Slimane, his exigence and rigour have made it possible to redefine the codes of Celine whilst reaffirming its feminine and Parisian roots,” Celine said in a statement. “He has also remarkably enriched new territories for the Maison such as the men’s silhouette, couture and haute parfumerie.” His time at Celine will be best recalled for introducing his style of rock-star grunge, super slim-fit tailoring, striking campaign videos (the most recent saw him take over Norfolk’s Holkham Hall), a blow-out fashion show in Los Angeles’ Wiltern Theatre, and a string of successful handbags; the most famous bag was his first, the briefcase-esque “16 handbag”, which he launched with the help of Lady Gaga.

The best new books for Autumn

Autumn has arrived hastily and as ever, when leaves start falling, books begin calling. From Lisa Marie Presley’s memoir to the latest page-turner by master storyteller Robert Harris, by way of Sally Rooney’s Intermezzo, there is something for everyone here.Precipice by Robert HarrisPrecipice by Robert HarrisPenguin BooksIt’s sometimes a delight to know exactly what you’re getting and Robert Harris is nothing if not a great storyteller. Precipice begins in the build up to the First Word War when the 61 year old Prime Minister Herbert Asquith became infatuated with the 26 year old socialite Venetia Stanley. Harris drew on the archive of letters Asquith sent to his paramour (often three times a day and sometimes written during cabinet meetings) and this novel is among Harris’s very best.Shy ...

Has Beckham dyed his eyebrows and beard? Here’s what Madeleine Spencer says men should do instead

Another option, should you wish to hide, or disguise, your greys? Ask your colourist to blend them into your highlights. It’s a technique Melanie Smith, Senior Colourist at HARI’s is an advocate of, and she will encourage those wishing to subtly include greys into the mix to “generally go a bit lighter to blend them out, using soft woven multi-tones for a super flattering finish.” And if you, like Beckham, are tempted to dye your brows and beard, too, remember that you’ll need a dedicated dye for the job as skin in that part of the face is more sensitive.
