Your May monthly horoscope by Sade Jackson

Since last year, you’ve been slowly but surely building a new vision for yourself in either the career department, relationship sphere, or spiritual beliefs. For the most part, it’s been kept under wraps, but the course is about to shift. When Jupiter in Gemini moves into your spot of public visibility on the 25th, you might feel like the Sun is (finally) shining down on you. In essence, it’s time to share these new realisations about yourself and let them shine through. Source link

Alice bands and global brands — why are we so obsessed with Jack Grealish?

Another adjective that seems to come up a lot when describing Grealish is ‘kind’. It comes up again and again, with people citing how he treats fans – especially children – as particularly appealing. “As a Wolves fan he used to annoy me immensely,” says Sarah, 42, from Wolverhampton. “Largely because of his talent. But I fell in love with him at the World Cup when he did the celebration dance for the young Man City fan with cerebral palsy, Finlay. It just showed his kindness as a person… Now I’m a big fan, I love his game, the joy he exudes and I’ve even become fond of his hair.” Source link

Your essential summer 2024 accessories guide: the shoes, sandals and bags to know

Are last summer’s sneakers looking shabby? You might be in luck. Veja has just cut the ribbon on their first London outpost (“the UK is our leading market in 2023, before France, Italy, Germany, Benelux and Spain,” says co-founder Sebastien Kopp) found in Seven Dials. The sustainably-minded shoe shop comes complete with a repair station, but the best bit? Their in-store cobbler station will scrub up all of your trainers, not just Vejas.  Source link

Edward Enninful: ‘Diversity equals downmarket? My Vogue proved them wrong’

Chioma Nnadi has taken his place in a newly titled role, Head of Editorial content, while Enninful has stepped into a new global position at Condé Nast. “A few people have approached me for jobs, but I need a break,” he said. Just don’t call him idle. “I really don’t like laziness,” he said, saying he still wakes up at 5am. Well, you can take the man out of Vogue House.  Source link

Earth Day 2024: As the climate descends into chaos, we need to be mindful of greenwashing

It’s great if today has us bonding over caring about the state of our planet. Or is Earth Day mostly taken up with virtue-signalling brands hopping on the bandwagon? Fifty-four years after the inaugural Earth Day, it seems to have become a Speaker’s Corner of greenwashing. It feels as if companies’ green endeavours comprise 0.2 per cent of their activity, yet make up 98.8 per cent of their storytelling. A quick recap: a coal-powered start to the UK’s first Industrial Revolution in the 1760s started the emissions party. A second Industrial Revolution, powered by electricity and petrol, motored us into the 20th century. Source link

Kintsugi Space: the healing new spa using quantum physics in Abu Dhabi

Helping visitors get to that place, and worth the seven-hour flight alone, is the fact that celebrity facialist, Anastasia Achilleos, has relocated from London to work at Kintsugi. Quietly spoken, a session with her is like one with a therapist. She works with relish on releasing the tension in the connective tissues and on loosening the jaw, “where many of us hold our pain”, incorporating cranial sacral release. Kneading and sculpting, she massages your face, head and body, intuitively knowing what your body needs from her touch. When you leave her, it’s like you are walking on air. Source link

London mayoral election 2024: which candidate should you vote for?

Thirteen candidates are standing, with current Mayor Sadiq Khan “on course for victory” with 44 per cent of the vote in an early poll, though that gap has reportedly been narrowing. Tory candidate Susan Hall was next, with 26 per cent. Controversial actor and broadcaster Laurence Fox is not among the remaining 11 contenders due to “errors” in his nomination papers. Unsure who to vote for? The Standard has some handy top trumps to help you out.ESIn a nutshell: The first ever Muslim mayor of a Western capital and the man hoping to win an unprecedented third term in the role that he has called “the best job in the world”. His Tooting-born-and-raised, son-of-a-bus-driver story has earned him a loyal Labour following over the years but the vote could be tighter than predicted. What he says: “Th...

Your weekly horoscope by Sade Jackson

Aries: You might feel triggered by the huge pile of life admin you have to deal with right now. Yes, it’s boring. Yes, it’s mundane. But don’t let it bring you down. Instead, fill your days with small things that give you joy. Taurus: You’re the indulgent muse of all the signs, reminding us to hustle hard and take self-care just as seriously.

Anyone for tenniscore? Spring fashion looks to Wimbledon for 2024

Fashion brands have rushed to get in the game. By way of campaigns, Hobbs, Kim Kardashian’s Skims and Fila (featuring Hailey Bieber looking sultry with an old racket) have all taken to tennis-themed spring campaigns. Varley, the athleisure/fashion brand, has just expanded its “club collection” — all pleat skirts, piqué polos, caps and knits. Meanwhile Mango has launched a capsule “Mango Tennis club” collection, complete with skorts, shorts and racquet-embroidered, navy cable knit sleeveless vests. Even more on the nose is Alex Eagle’s white T-shirt which simply reads “TENNIS”.  Source link
