Meghan Markle Wears Shorts and Pumps for Date Night In LA

Following the news that Prince Harry will be attending the Coronation of his father King Charles III without his wife Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, the couple enjoyed an all American date night in LA. On Monday night Harry and Markle took their seats to watch the LA Lakers play the Memphis Grizzlies, where Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner were also in the stands. Meghan Markle was dressed like a true California girl in a pink linen shorts suit by LA-based fashion brand Staud made up of an oversized blazer with matching high-waisted shorts, paired with a simple white T-shirt and gold jewelry. It’s a casual look compared to the more formal outfits she wore in her London days, but she still stayed loyal to the ultimate in Duchess-approved footwear – the classic suede pumps....

Tiffany, Dior: Understanding the New Model for Luxury Flagships

NEW YORK — For luxury brands with global ambitions, a founding flagship is as important to the mission as Disney World is to Disney. Nowhere is that more true than for Tiffany, which is set to reopen its Fifth Avenue flagship Friday after a multi-year renovation. In addition to being the most visible and famous manifestation of the brand (enshrined in the popular imagination by the 1961 film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”), the store is a cash cow, generating around 10 percent of sales prior to its closure. Few, if any, luxury brands of Tiffany’s size rely so heavily on a single location. For LVMH, which paid $15.8 billion (luxury’s biggest ever deal) to acquire Tiffany in January 2021, getting the renovation right is therefore critical to its “shock and awe” campaign to transform a beloved, if...

Meghan swaps her neutral wardrobe for a pink short suit

Since stepping down as a senior member of the royal family, the Duchess of Sussex has been having more fun with her style. She debuted a super-straight Y2k hairstyle earlier this week, and last night she was pictured out wearing a candy pink linen short suit. Meghan – who joined her husband Prince Harry to watch an LA Lakers basketball game – wore her summery two-piece by Los Angeles-based brand Staud with a simple white t-shirt, nude heels and gold jewelery. The brand is a firm favorite within the fashion crowd and is known for its playful designs and statement bags.

Lessons Learned: What First Time Parents Should Know

How time flies – It has been a year with Ezra (a year of being a mother!) and how I have enjoyed every second of it. Even the rough moments – because I know they are fleeting and the sad reality is my child will never need me as much when he grows older – so for now, it’s plenty of cuddles and kisses while he still lets me have them. As I reflect on the year, and on my personal journey through parenthood, I have made a few realizations which might be helpful to new parents out there. For example, things I probably shouldn’t have bought at the height of my pre-partum enthusiasm, getting the right advice and treatment for breastfeeding and the woes that come with it, seeking additional help to care for your...

‘Call of Duty’ can detect and ban XIM-style hardware cheats

Activision’s Call of Duty The Ricochet anti-cheat team has introduced a number of new measures designed to reduce unfair play. Those include a replay investigation tool along with detection of third-party XIM-type devices. Some cheaters will be permanently banned, but CoD has revealed that others will be subject to some new (and rather hilarious) in-game mitigations. To start with, it has deployed a system designed to detect third-party hardware cheat devices like XIM, Cronus Zen and ReaSnow S1. “These devices act as a passthrough for controllers on PC and console and, when used improperly or maliciously, can provide a player with the ability to gain an unfair gameplay advantage, such as reducing or eliminating recoil,” the team noted in a blog post . At first, Ricochet will give players an “unsupported device warning” as shown above,...
