It was a family affair for the American singer, who marked her first appearance to the lavish event in a decade, walking the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art with her husband, rapper Jay-Z, and their eldest daughter, Blue Ivy.

This Eye-Catching Indoor Garden Is 20 Percent Off Right Now

This Eye-Catching Indoor Garden Is 20 Percent Off Right Now

Many indoor hydroponic garden systems are striking showpieces for the home, but none perhaps more so than Lettuce Grow’s Farmstand. Founded by Zooey Deschanel and her ex-husband, film producer Jacob Pechenik, Lettuce Grow makes a variety of gardens, including the new no-pump-required Counterstand Set ($149), which I’m currently testing. Nothing stops guests in their tracks quite like the indoor Farmstand. As I described it when I reviewed it last year, it’s as if a giant strawberry planter were reimagined as a set piece for 2001: A Space Odyssey. The Farmstand’s smaller sibling, the Nook, recently began selling at Costco and immediately became an online sensation among Costco influencers. (Yes, Costco influencers are a thing.) Even my own mom texted me in awe upon seeing it in the store, despite having seen the full-sized Lettuce Grow many times in my house. In short, if you’re looking for a gift with wow factor, a Lettuce Grow garden is sure to deliver, and right now all Farmstands—and the Counterstand Set—are 20 percent off through May 10 when you …

Esel launches eye-catching wooden e-bike designed for urban commuters with style

There are plenty of e-bikes that focus on performance. Plenty that focus on tech. And plenty that lean into affordability. But every now and then, a bike comes along that feels more like a piece of art than a machine. That’s exactly what Austrian bike maker esel is going for with its newly launched eUrban electric bike, a striking wooden-framed e-bike that blends natural materials with modern electric performance. And after seeing so many cookie-cutter, nearly identical e-bikes come across my desk over the years, it’s refreshing to see something so unique. Advertisement – scroll for more content Formerly known as My Esel, the company is using this launch as part of a broader rebrand, simplifying its name to just “esel” and leaning into a new identity built around the concept of “Ride your nature.”  And that philosophy shows up most clearly in the frame. Unlike traditional aluminum or carbon fiber bikes, esel builds its frames from a specially developed wood composite. Sure, it’s eye-catching and beautiful (if you’re into wood, which luckily for me, …

Kate Middleton Wears an Eye-Catching Statement Hat to Meet First Female Archbishop of Canterbury

Kate Middleton Wears an Eye-Catching Statement Hat to Meet First Female Archbishop of Canterbury

Consider it a royal ensemble that passed the wind tunnel test. Kate Middleton chose a scene-stealing statement hat for the inauguration of the first Archbishop of Canterbury in the history of the Anglican Church. And despite windy conditions in the city of Kent, Middleton and Prince William were able to fulfill their latest diplomatic duties in style. Kate Middleton and Prince William’s arrival at Canterbury Cathedral. YUI MOK/Getty Images Middleton accompanied William, the Prince of Wales, to the “enthronement” ceremony of Sarah Mullally, the first woman to head the Church of England since the 16th-century Reformation and subsequent break with Rome, which was held in Canterbury Cathedral. It was a landmark event signifying the symbolic beginning of the ministry of the former NHS nurse who was ordained a priest in 2002 and became the first woman bishop of London in 2018. Before her, starting with St. Augustine in 597 A.D., only men held the position of archbishop of Canterbury: women after all were only admitted to the priesthood in the Church of England in 1994. …
