The audit: From J Brand jeans to Victoria's Secret new lingerie range, the best and worst in fashion and beauty
What we love, we're buying and we're not so sure about
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.We love… Blue jean baby
A new pair of jeans is just what the doctor ordered in this tricky end-of-sale period. The J Brand Ellis style, which has been dubbed the "Strinny" because it's a hybrid of straight and skinny, is top of our shopping list. £200, selfridges.com
We're not sure about… Slogan styles
Hair accessories brand Kitsch is launching a range of slogan hair ties. We have nothing against slogans, but there's a time and a place for them – having a band in your hair that reads "nerd" is not it.
From £4, mykitsch.com
We're buying… Rose touché
Yves Saint Laurent's Touche Éclat is a cult beauty product that can be found in most women's make-up bags. For summer it's been given a makeover and for the first time is available in a rose tint. £25, boots.com
We can't wait for… Sexy smalls
Victoria's Secret may be known for its jaw-dropping catwalk shows, but its everyday lingerie is actually surprisingly wearable. The new range, Simple Sexy, unfortunately won't transform you into an angel, but does promise a perfect fit. From £32, victoriassecret.co.uk
We're visiting… Show-dry bar
If you like a bouncy barnet, head down to Harvey Nichols in Knightsbridge, London, where luxury hair-care brand SHOW Beauty has launched its first ever blow-dry station. A styling session is complimentary with the purchase of any product in the range.
From £30, harveynichols.com
