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.Sounds very boudoir. Is this for accessorising my marabou-trim negligée?
Calm down Marilyn Monroe, this is definitely outerwear and mercifully less girly than it sounds. Your trusty flat slip-ons are simply getting a bit of a flashy finish.
Praise be. Staring at my feet waiting for the bus will never again be dull.
Silly as it sounds, there is a smidgen of cheer to be had in looking down at a sparkly pair of shoes, especially on a grey pavement. And this is a nice way to wear it without involving high heels, open toes or other such inconveniences.
OK, set me up with a suitably charming pair.
These slippers from Antik Batik would be luxurious enough thanks to the leather-lined gold velvet; the bronze crystal flowers amp up the prettiness to levels worthy of a very modern Cinderella (above, £209, plumo.com).
I appreciate that Cinderella had bigger fish to fry, but how about something rainproof?
OK, so those require a reliable weather app, agreed. For all seasons, &Other Stories' aptly named Oily slippers (£55, stories.com) in iridescent oil-slick green and blue are a playful, perky finish to an otherwise workaday outfit.
