After three long years, Styles released his third album, “Harry’s House,” and he surprised a group of more than 100 fans at a Spotify party ahead of the release on Thursday, May 19.

These $17 Walmart Sandals Are a Dupe For a Much More Expensive Version

May 20, 2022 at 06:40PM Without mentioning a particular shoe brand, I think it’s safe to say we’re all familiar with a certain sandal *hint hint* featuring a contoured cork footbed. In all honesty, I was never big into the trend until recently, when I spotted a similar style for under-$20 at Walmart. Enter, the double-buckle Time and Tru Platform Footbed Sandals ($17), with almost exclusively five-star reviews. Curious to see if I’d be into them, I thought, “what the heck,” and added the tan colorblock design to my virtual shopping cart. My honest thoughts, ahead. What I Like About These Sandals I’m surprised by how much I like these casual sandals. When I added them to my cart, a part of me wondered if its overwhelmingly positive ratings were too good to be true, but - spoiler alert - they’re not. I…

The Making of Chanel No. 5

May 20, 2022 at 02:35PM Spritz a fine mist of Chanel No. 5 and you won’t be reminded of a flower. Launched in 1921, the fragrance famously doesn’t evoke one. Rather, one might say it smells like abstract art — a composition beyond nature, a rebellion against the demure (and, frankly, dull) lily of the valley-centric zeitgeist of its time. Instead, it produces an intense hit of powdery, soapy cleanness, which is the result of a lavish dose of aldehydes.
