From Drake and Kendrick, to Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s much-memed romance, here are our top picks for your potential Halloween pop culture costumes. 1. Sabrina Carpenter and Barry KeoghanGettyIn their weird little Met Gala get-ups or in her Espresso gear. Or even just a Man United shirt and an Irish accent for Barry if you’re feelin’ lazy.

If you have looked up in your local M&S recently you will have noticed that there has been a sea change at the once staid retailer. No longer a graveyard of school uniforms and new knickers, their fashion department has lurched forwards and, having seen their new autumn collection — the first of which launches today, it is set on an upwardly chic trajectory. The stats are great (in May, M&S announced pre-tax profits up 41 per cent to £672.5 million, with clothing and home sales up 5.3 per cent) and the clothes, though sometimes lingering in knock-off purgatory, hit every trending point. M&SMaddy Evans, womenswear director (formerly of Topshop), has been credited as the woman behind its stylish renaissance. “We’re trying to focus on modern mainstream — less about age, more about...

Indeed for thousands across the capital, the cladding crisis is not only a safety issue but a financial one. “The recent fire in Dagenham is a stark reminder that not only could our flat bankrupt us, but that we’re also putting our children to bed in an incredibly unsafe building,” says photographer Catherine Losing, 39, a flat owner in Hackney. The building her flat is part of is under 11 metres tall, so she has no guarantee from the government or the housing association that looks after it that she won’t be liable in full for all the remediation costs. “We are trapped as leaseholders of flats that cannot be sold,” says retirees John and Anne Palmiero, who are the leaseholders of several affected flats in Holloway. The management company for the Spectrum Building where the fire took place...

Durand has big goals for Paris: she wants gold medals in three distances - 100m, 200m and 400m. And if you think it’s all hard work and discipline, don’t worry, Durand doesn’t take it *too* seriously - at least, not so seriously that she won’t eat fried chicken. “I hardly do diets except sometimes if I am overweight,” she told interviewers, “I really like fried chicken, fries and ice cream, but I eat pretty healthy.” Source link

When it comes to holiday planning, we all go through the same checklist. You book your route, be it road, rail, air or sea. You need to make hotel reservations. You might even pre-organise a dinner or two (especially if you’re type A). But then, every time, you leave one of the most essential tasks to the last minute – packing. If you haven’t got quality luggage to hand, packing becomes a whole lot harder. The right bag can make travel a breeze, but it depends on a few things. For a weekender, you might want a leather holdall. Heading a short trip abroad? Perhaps you’d prefer a carry-on case. Or for a two-week sojourn, it’s more likely you’ll need a lightweight hold case (ideally on wheels) which you can fill without exceeding the standard 23kg limit. On top of needing a range of sizes to ...
