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.I don't like perfect so I'll trash a chic dress and add quirky accessories, footwear or socks. Lately, I've been wearing some of my old Preen pieces ( www.preen.eu) – I prefer to wear things when it's past the fashion radar rather than flaunt the latest.
I live in east London and there are a bunch of great vintage stores I frequent there, such as Beyond Retro ( www.beyondretro.com) and The Shop (tel: 020 7739 5631). I like to pair bold vintage patterns with futuristic Balenciaga shoes ( www.balenciaga.com).
My husband bought me some REN products and I have been a convert ever since ( www.renskincare.com). It's clean, bioactive skincare with nothing synthetic.
I get my brows shaped at my local Turkish beauty parlour Songul Kuafor (020 7923 2350). It does all the treatments in one room, and there's a nice communal feel, sipping apple tea and hearing all the local gossip.
Mawi's range is at Harvey Nichols (tel: 020 7235 5000, www.harveynichols.com)
