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.Don't know what to give your mom this Mother's Day? Browse this week's online boutiques from Gilt to Rue La La for inspiration. And while you're there, you'll be sure to find something for the daughter, too.
Gilt
New shoes are one of the easiest ways of updating your wardrobe, and Gilt has a few beautiful options, ranging from Bally to Barbara Bui and Burberry. If you have nothing to wear with your new pair, may we suggest something by M Missoni, Alexander Wang or Marc Jacobs? They all open boutiques here this week.
Rue La La
With Mother's Day coming up this weekend in many countries, Rue La La is going for a different than usual approach this week, offering a selection of mother-daughter getaways to international destinations, and at discounted prices. Examples include cooking classes and wine tastings, spa retreats, and even safaris.
Ideeli
This site is giving away a whole package for Mother's Day, with one lucky shopper winning a bag, shawl, necklace, and chocolates to make mom happy. Also on Ideeli this week: Beyoncé's House of Dereon label.
eBay Fashion Vault
The online auctioner's new platform will launch a fine watches and jewelry sale on May 3, with items selling at up to 65 percent off.
Haute Look
Get your spring accessory fix courtesy of Amrita Singh, who opens her boutique on Haute Look on May 3.
Editor's Closet
For the matching sunglasses, try the Fendi sale that launches here this week.
The Outnet
The 'real' Jil Sander may be designing budget-conscious clothes for Uniqlo now, but her former label, now under the creative direction of Raf Simons, is usually out of reach for most. Not at The Outnet, however: prices in the site's boutique start at €90. Plus: a selection of great summer jumpsuits by the likes of Stella McCartney, Halston, and Donna Karan.
