Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

We love: The Café at SHOWstudio

This exhibition explores the distance travelled by modern coffee chains, with their buckets of coffee-flavoured warm milk, from their 19th-century roots in salon culture. With fashion, art and film contributions coming from Steven Meisel, Mother of Pearl and more, it's time to wake up and smell the Java. Until 5 November, www.showstudio.com

We're not sure: about Blingbacks

We ladies are just so darn crazy about shoes; it seems that any conceivable accessory or accoutrement has pound signs rolling in the eyes. Enter blingbacks, designed to jazz up a pair of heels while protecting your heels.

We're buying: Future classics

As the autumn rolls in, adding a tweed blazer to one's arsenal of outerwear is almost mandatory. This style from Future Classics is perfect for those who feel too Trunchbull-esque in something more traditionally structured. £895, www.futureclassicsfashion.com

We can't wait for: Goldsmiths' Fair

If you've ever wanted to commission a bespoke piece of jewellery, but not had a clue how to go about it, clear some space in your diary for a trip to Goldsmiths' Hall, where up-and-coming designers and makers will be selling their wares. From 26 September, www.thegoldsmiths.co.uk
