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.Leather has always been perceived as a fall/winter staple, but labels such as Céline have reinterpreted the material for spring/summer, producing leather t-shirts, skirts, and shorts in lighter colors, e.g., camel, or pairing black basics with breezier fabrics, such as linen.
Polyvore users have got wind of this improbable but appealing trend, pairing leather leggings with flowy tops for spring, or leather skirts with t-shirts for summer.
Apart from that, wedding season is inspiring many collages on the styling site, with users going to specialized jewelry sites such as tacori.com for inspiration. Jewelers Max and Chloé as well as Dannijo are also still popular. Other interesting finds in the Top Sites category include conceptual store thecorner.com, which features a great men's selection, and refinery29shops.com, a successful model of fashion blogs translating their personal style preferences into their own shopping sites.
In celebrities, Gossip Girl's queen bee, Leighton Meester has ousted longtime number one, Audrey Hepburn, and her colleagues, Blake Lively and Taylor Momsen, join her in the top four, while new favorite, actress Miranda Cosgrove, continues her climb.
