Kate Middleton can’t stop wearing this ‘witchy’ autumn trend now the temperature has dropped

Published by Daniella Wilson

The Princess of Wales has switched up her wardrobe in the most stylish way to welcome autumn. Now that we’re fully in October, it’s clear that the 44-year-old is keen on embracing all things berry – the colour that’s unanimously regarded as the shade of the season. It also has a mystical, almost ‘witchy’ vibe attached to it due to the earthy stance the tone conveys. Deep burgundy, cranberry, plum and purple will always be prevalent when the temperature drops.  © Samir HusseinCatherine has always been a seasonal dresser Tonal dressing evokes autumnal leaves and the cooler feeling of the ‘ber’ months. There’s a science to it too; darker shades tend to absorb heat, keeping us toasty.  © WireImageThe Princess of Wales wore a stunning outfit last week – with burgundy accessories Last week, Catherine appeared perfectly poised on a royal engagement in West Sussex. Although her grey pussy-bow blouse from Reiss and tailored Ralph Lauren trousers were the ultimate in sartorial style, it was her burgundy accessories that lifted the look: her cranberry Gianvito Rossi ‘Gianvito …

The streamer has just released an elegant, intoxicating eight-episode drama with all the hallmarks of the award-winning show: corporate espionage, billions of dollars on the line and, of course, well-dressed rich people strutting aggressively into glass boardrooms. HBO’s War follows the high-profile, multi-million-dollar divorce between movie star Carla Duval (Sienna Miller) and tech magnate Morgan Henderson (Dominic West), and the two London-based law firms representing them, who will do just about anything to win the …

Ken Paxton reveals GOP polling ‘dropped’ after midterm convention: NYT  

Ken Paxton reveals GOP polling ‘dropped’ after midterm convention: NYT  

Published by Sam Flores

So, just to recap: Trump brings Republicans to Texas for a convention designed to help Republican candidates, like Ken Paxton. Then Paxton privately says his poll numbers dropped after said convention. And at the convention, the president is essentially doing a roast of his own Senate candidate’s wardrobe, speaking style and appearance before ultimately telling voters they should still elect him.   Source link

Experience: a brain surgeon dropped part of my skull on the floor | Life and style

Experience: a brain surgeon dropped part of my skull on the floor | Life and style

Published by Sam Flores

On a Sunday in May 2017, I was at the gym and using a chest press when there was this pop. It wasn’t a sound – it was more like a sigh in my body. There was no pain, but I went limp. I shuffled along the wall to some mats. I thought I was having a stroke, but I wasn’t slurring and my eyes and arms seemed fine. But my left leg felt numb – it was the weirdest feeling. Lying on my back with my legs bent, both knees stayed upright when I looked at them. When I looked away, the left one fell to the side. I ended up in A&E for hours at nearby St Thomas’ hospital in London. I was 34, healthy and had started regaining feeling in my leg, so they theorised it was a bruised spine and thought it was safe to discharge me. Overworked staff and shift changes meant that when MRI images of my brain went missing, nobody tracked them down. At a follow-up appointment days later, my partner, …

Ben Affleck explains why ex-wife Jennifer Garner was dropped from new Netflix film: ‘You just get baggage’

Ben Affleck explains why ex-wife Jennifer Garner was dropped from new Netflix film: ‘You just get baggage’

Published by Daniella Wilson

Get the latest entertainment news, reviews and star-studded interviews with our Independent Culture email Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Get the latest entertainment news with our free Culture newsletter Ben Affleck has explained why his ex-wife Jennifer Garner stepped back from his new Netflix film Animals, despite having been unveiled as one of the lead stars when the project was first announced. Affleck has co-written and co-directed the crime thriller, which sees a Los Angeles mayoral candidate’s life and campaign derailed when his son is kidnapped. When the project was initially announced, the Gone Girl star’s close friend and frequent collaborator Matt Damon was due to play the politician, with Affleck’s ex as his therapist wife. “I thought, ‘God, Jen Garner would be amazing for this role’,” Affleck told Entertainment Weekly. “It also has the added benefit of, like, both of us will see our kids more because we do a week and a week and back and forth. I thought, well, we can coordinate our schedules around it.” However, …

Drake Dropped a 90-Minute Film Called FOMO. You’re Not Missing Out on Much.

Drake Dropped a 90-Minute Film Called FOMO. You’re Not Missing Out on Much.

Published by Jenni Sidey

Drake loves to bring us together. Ten years ago, his OVO Radio shows on Apple Music were appointment listening when he had new music to share, which in turn made the album releases feel grander and the loosies like real-time transmissions from the days when A-list rappers would visit Flex, Angie Martinez and the like with new bars and a little shit-talk. So, in theory, it’s cool to see him reapply that mindset more recently by rolling out new projects with “live streams.” Last summer, this took the form of dispatches from his European tour that had flimsy narratives and weren’t nearly as compelling as new music drops. But when he released Iceman earlier this year, he perfected the concept by dropping a visual album, live, on YouTube. It was a great way to debut the music, and the clips were varied and mostly dope. Plus, it unified the timeline, a swaggering rebuke to the death of monoculture. But Drake’s problem is that he just can’t keep himself from going back for one more score. …

The book publisher said last year that it had dropped the children’s author following reports that he was accused of behaving inappropriately towards young women. Walliams strongly denies any claims and said at the time that he had not been informed about an investigation by HarperCollins. HarperCollins has now confirmed that it has dropped Walliams’s backlist, according to The Bookseller. The publication reported that the publisher will gradually phase out stock of Walliams’s books in shops as well as e-book and audio versions available online.

Bose Just Dropped New Sport Open Earbuds and Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Gen)

Bose Just Dropped New Sport Open Earbuds and Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Gen)

Published by skeptic

Bose’s original Ultra Open Earbuds were released more than two years ago and sparked the proliferation of a new style of open earbuds that resemble clip-on earrings. I’d been waiting for the Ultra Open Earbuds (2nd Gen) to arrive, and now they’re finally here, with improved sound, voice-calling performance and battery life, Bose says. While the updated buds carry the same elevated $299 list price as their predecessor, the company has also unveiled its completely new Sport Open Earbuds that cost $199 and have a different design than the original Ultra Open Earbuds. Both new buds are available for preorder Sept. 19 and ship Oct. 1.
