From Olympia chocolates to Burberry's personalisation service, the best and worst of fashion this week
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… Sweets by the book
Fashion and chocolate combine with spectacular results thanks to the new collaboration between Olympia Le-Tan and Pierre Marcolini. In a box crafted in Le-Tan’s literary- inspired style you can select your favourite chocolates or opt for macaroons instead.
From £27, marcolini.com
We’re not sure about… Fashion fatigue
It’s nearly show season again and a month of back-to-back fashion shows spread across four global cities is an exhausting prospect. At least we won’t be missing any this season thanks to Swatch’s limited edition LFW watch.

We’re buying… Cinematic beauty
To celebrate Pulp Fiction’s 20th anniversary, Urban Decay has created a special edition collection. So if you fancy channelling Uma Thurman’s Mia Wallace, these products are just what you need to get the look.
From £10, urbandecay.co.uk
We can’t wait for… Poncho personal
You’ll never get your ponchos mixed up again thanks to the new personalisation service offered by Burberry. This season, customers will be able to get their initials added to ponchos and scarves from the autumn/winter collection.

We’re visiting… Bargain boots
Good news for fans of Nicholas Kirkwood footwear: the British shoe designer has opened a pop-up boutique at Bicester village, allowing customers to shop his signature styles at a considerable reduction.
