What we love, we're not sure about, we're buying and can't wait for...
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.

We're not sure about: Men in tights
Taking style tips from man-child Justin Bieber or that one off of The X Factor is never clever, so here's hoping "meggings" (that's male leggings for the uninitiated) don't catch on. Although rather helpfully, they do identify the wearer as someone to avoid.
We're buying: Lightbulb moment
A novelty idea that actually has a purpose for once, New Cid Cosmetics' latest launch is a collection of 24 nail polishes with a light in the brush – which means you can paint your toenails in front of the TV without putting the "big light" on.

We can't wait for: Check please
It may not seem like it now but winter can't last forever. The just-released ad campaign from Louis Vuitton, shot by Steven Meisel with a set designed by artist Daniel Buren, is a zingy reminder that spring will soon be here.
