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… Barnyard birthday

Cowshed has long been the beauty brand of choice for those with a penchant for pampering, and this year it's celebrating its 15th birthday. As well as a special hand-care range to commemorate the milestone, the brand's spas are reintroducing three treatments with 1998 pricing.

We're not sure about… Rainy days and Mondays

Summer dresses were not meant to be accessorised with a brolly, which makes the recent spell of showers most unwelcome. There's also the risk of leaving the house on a sunny day in sandals only to return hours later mid-thunderstorm with waterlogged, wrinkly toes.

We're buying… Birds and bees

Theoretically speaking, insects shouldn't make the best subjects for jewellery. Who wants a creepy crawly hanging from their neck? However, the range of jewellery from London-based designer Cinderela B, now available in Warehouse, includes bee earrings and hummingbird necklaces which are as pretty as it gets.

We can't wait for… Jeanius

There's no excuse for boring denim these days with jeans available in every shape, colour and pattern. If yours are looking a little tired, it's worth a trip to Selfridges this weekend where a team from Mother is offering complimentary customisation with any purchase.

10 to 11 August, Denim Studio, Selfridges, London

We're saving up for… Haute handbags

We're all about a swish new bag here at The Audit and Elena Ghisellini is an accessories designer with some serious credentials. Currently at Givenchy, she boasts a CV that reads like a who's who of luxury brands and her eponymous debut is eagerly awaited.
