The Fashion Audit: Lady Love, Waltzing Matilda and the 'Fifty Shades' phenomenon
What we love, we're not sure about, we're buying and can't wait for...
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: Slip of a thing

We're buying: Silver lining
These delicate, sterling-silver stacking rings are part of Whistles' newly launched Limited Collection. Inspired by the metallics of the Art Deco Twenties, the three shades complement each other while the softly beaten finish creates a mosaic-like texture.

We can't wait for: Lady Love
Whatever would the Dowager Duchess say if she could see Lady Sybil from Downton Abbey styled in gothic splendour by editor in chief Katie Grand for the new issue of LOVE? The must-have guide to the new season also gets up close and personal with Thomas the Footman.

We're warming to: Waltzing Matilda
It's mid-July and it's probably not a jinx to declare the summer a washout. So it's a good thing that the autumn/winter collections are beginning to arrive – and with them a host of new brands. Luxurious cashmere pieces from Banjo & Matilda combine the two – how very efficient.
