‘My studded clogs are £130 less than Birkenstock’s and are the perfect summer-to-autumn shoes’

Clogs are a warm, comfortable, and simple pair of shoes that will last you through the summer and into the fall. I found the best lookalike for Birkenstock’s £200 pair for less than £70.

Even though there are still a few weeks of summer left, I’ve already been reflecting on my outlook on autumn and, more specifically, my fall wardrobe. I made the decision to buy a pair of suede clogs, which I’ve been seeing all over, because transitional dressing is what I do when I shop right now.

Although Birkenstock’s Boston clogs are the standard style, numerous other brands have created their own versions, so when I saw White Stuff’s Myrtle Studded Slip On Footbed clogs, I had to buy them. They cost less than Birkenstock’s Boston Rivets, which cost £200 or £160 if purchased during Schuh’s sale, and are much more affordable than those that cost at £69.

Bohomoon has announced its “biggest ever” £10 jewelry sale, offering savings of up to 70%.

Hunter recently removed the ideal cowboy boot wellies for the festival season.

With a khaki green colorway and silver rivet studs adorning them, White Stuff’s Myrtle clogs are equally as chic and comfortable as their lower price tag. They appear much more expensive than their high street price tags, and there are many other subtleties, such as the whipstitch on the straps’ ends, silver buckles, and cosy shearling lining.

The Myrtle clogs are made of real suede, which is soft, flexible, and durable, as well as a real leather insole and an EVA footbed that is both lightweight and flexible despite their affordable price tag. These pair are both summer and fall shoes thanks to the fluffy lining, which provides a little warmth and cosiness for those chilly days, and the slip-on style keeps them summer-appropriate.

The only thing to keep in mind is that suede can stain quickly, especially when wet. You’ll definitely want to keep them at home if there’s even a hint of rain in the air, which is why they’re ideal for cold, windy weather.

Despite the practicality, I liked how versatile the Myrtle clogs were. On cooler days, I can wear them with a breezy midi skirt and T-shirt in the sunshine, or with denim and cosy knitted jumpers.

The Myrtle clogs are just roomy enough to go with socks for days when it’s particularly cold, which is a divisive styling choice I am firmly standing behind. I’ve worn them all day without rubbing or aching feet. They fit exactly like my regular size.

Saint + Sofia’s Studded Clogs, which cost £129 and come in a range of colors, including tan, khaki, and black suede options with a shearling lining, as well as cream and black leather versions, are other chic clogs on my wishlist. For a less expensive option, I also like New Look’s Brown Faux Suede Whipstitched Mules, which cost £29.99 and have a luxe-looking whipstitch design.

You’ll see me wearing White Stuff’s Myrtle Studded Slip On Footbed clogs with everything and everything in the coming months, but they definitely stole my heart for the new season.

Mo Gilligan fires back at ‘deadbeat dad’ claims as he shares first clip of secret son

After Selina Christoforou’s viral social media post, which he claimed is a “deadbeat dad,” comedian Mo Gilligan responded by criticizing his ex-wife.

Mo Gilligan has appeared to have confirmed he is a father as he shared a clip of his secret son after the mother of his child slammed him. The comedian, 37, is getting ready to welcome his first child with current partner Taia Tulher, 28.

However, his ex Selina Christoforou, 35, posted an explosive video on TikTok where she claimed he already has a child but is a “deadbeat dad”. She claimed she knows how few times the star has met his son Rudi and insisted you “can’t make someone be a dad”.

Their son was born in January 2024, and Selina claimed she could “count on her fingers and toes” how many times Mo has seen their child over the last 17 months. It comes after Liam Neeson’s son reacted to his dad’s romance with Pamela Anderson.

Mo has continued to refute the allegations, but he has now made an appearance in response to Selina by posting a picture of Rudi. A young boy was playing a massive Connect 4 game in the short, black and white clip.

Mo decided to keep the boy’s identity hidden, but did include a very telling song alongside the clip. He paired it with Emotionless by Drake, which featured the lyrics: “I wasn’t hidin’ my kid from the world / I was hidin’ the world from my kid.

Breaking news in my life, I don’t run away from the blogs/The only ones I wanna tell are the ones I can call, “From empty souls, who just wake up and look at debate… until you starin’ at your seed, you can never relate.

“They always ask, “Why let the story continue if it’s false?” A wise man once said there was nothing to be ashamed of. It is believed that Mo met model Selina online and that he had never officially declared his intention to become a father when Rudi was born.

She learned about her pregnancy in May of 2023, and the two women were shocked by how cautiously things had turned out, according to a source.

They added, “She found out she was pregnant in May 2023, and it was quite shock for them both because they were being fairly cautious,” in a statement to the Sun. Despite the fact that they weren’t actually a couple, she still wanted to have the child.

She and Mo see their son semi-regularly, and she adores him. He is excited about becoming a father for the second time and is excited about it. He feels comfortable with Taia and has been with her for a while.

Taking to social media, Selina hit out at Mo in a viral post as she fumed: “I just finally posted on Instagram about my son’s dad so for your information, if you don’t follow my Instagram I don’t blame you. Um, Mo Gilligan is his dad. Very much in quotation marks.”

She claimed that she believes things will improve with her, an unbelievable son. She continued to say that Mo had made it very clear he wasn’t wanting to be a father and that she “can’t make someone be a dad.”

Japan logs two new highest temperatures on record in a day

According to the Japanese Meteorological Agency, the country’s temperature record set at 41.6 degrees Celsius (106.8 degrees Fahrenheit) and then 41.8C (107.2F), which indicates that the day’s temperature may rise even further.

Isesaki, in the southern Gunma Prefecture of the country’s northern Kanto region, had a scorching temperature record on Tuesday surpassing the previous week’s 41.2C (106.2) record in the western Hyogo region.

The previous high was 41.1C (106F) – seen in 2020 and 2018.

The weather agency reported on Friday that the month’s record high was 2.89C above the average from 1991 to 2020, making it the hottest month since records began in 1898.

The temperature reached 40C (104F) last week in Kyoto, the first observation point since it opened in 1880, and the newest observation point since 2002, according to authorities.

In 44 of Japan’s 47 prefectures, heatstroke warnings were issued.

The summer in Japan last year was the joint hottest on record, equaling the 2023 average, followed by the warmest fall since records began 126 years ago.

As a result of climate change, temperatures have increased significantly around the world, and Japan is no exception.

Experts warn that the beloved cherry trees in Japan are blooming earlier because the climate is warmer and winters are not cold enough to trigger flowering.

In comparison to the typical early October period last year, the famous snowcap of Mount Fuji didn’t appear until the longest period ever recorded.

The meteorological office, which has been collecting such data since 1973, reported that South Korea had its second-hottest July, with an average temperature of 27.1C (80.8).

The hottest July ever recorded in South Korea was in 1994, when the average temperature reached 27.7C (81. 9F).

Farmers complain that the sizzling heat combined with the lack of rain are preventing rice cultivation in Japan, while some dams and paddies across the country are experiencing a water shortage.

There were record-breaking low rainfall in northern regions of Japan, it added, with low precipitation in large areas of Japan in July. Another record-breaking rainy season came to an end in the western regions of Japan about three weeks earlier than usual.

To prevent heatstroke, maintain hydration, and avoid outdoor activities during high summertime, Japanese officials advise the public to seek shelter in air-conditioned rooms.

Japan, which has the second-oldest population in the world after Monaco, is especially vulnerable for the elderly.

According to Copernicus, an EU climate monitor, this year saw the region’s hottest June on record as a result of brutal extreme temperatures sweeping the country in punishing back-to-back heatwaves.

The temperature reached 4C higher in July, according to separate research that found that it was caused by climate change, pushing the thermometer into deadly territory for thousands of vulnerable people and significantly worsening the predicted death toll.

Caity Baser, a TikTok star, has revealed that she has a secret family feud that has resulted in her “blocking” of her mother.

Caity gives two harrowing sexual assault experiences in a heartbreaking new interview, and she claims she wants to be more outspoken about such difficult subjects.

She resurrected her troll pit a year later when she took a stand against body-shamers. The Pretty Boys singer, 23, addresses Paul C. Brunson in a candid interview on his popular podcast We Need to Talk about her deeply flawed decision to “block” her mother: “On paper, she was great – emotionally, not so much.

When Caity asked if she could get a contraception implant and asked if she could have one, the relationship with her mother strained, and Caity claims the conversation that ensued left her feeling “shamed.”

Caity, a nominee for the Brit Award, recalls: “She was like, “Why? ” You call yourself a s**g, right? Do you like to sleep? What will the boys think of you?

Continue reading the article.

I distinctly recall being like, “Oh my God! I’m in the car!”

“Sex is something you should discuss with your kids,” he said. The birds and the bees conversation was something I had to have with my dad.

My father said, “So this is what happens… ” He was like, “Hey, so who was it then? ” as I laughed the entire way through.

“Because he already knew I’d already done it,” he said.

It was taboo for my mother to only have boys, relationships, and anything else.

Caity claims to have had a “great upbringing” and a “lovely life” because she was raised on a council estate in Southampton with her two big brothers.

She laughs when her brothers and dad wagered that if she posted her first musical video, she would go viral. “It went viral, but they never got their £50,” she says.

She claims she would like to travel through time and tell her mother she needs to have open communication with her without being s***ed or shamed.

However, the two are currently “don’t talk,” and Caity believes that the past two years have been”peaceful.”

She tells the Married at First Sight relationship expert, “She’s been blocked for like two years.”

“I wouldn’t just not talk to her without a reason,” she said. You become so uneasy at one point, like, “You literally make me so unhappy.”

“And I would have eliminated you years ago if it had been anyone else.” However, you are my mother, and that makes you unique.

She continues, “This is also her first home.” She is also permitted to make errors. That’s how you handle it, I suppose.

She continues, “I saw her for the first time at my brother’s wedding… I only saw her a few months ago.”

Without her, my life would be so peaceful, but she would have been interfering with my brain. “This is so sad.

Caity continues: “I feel like it’s just so far gone now – two years. When I saw her at the wedding it was just so weird. She was like: ‘Oh look I love you.’ And I was like: ‘I love you.”

She said, “Do you though, please? ” and she responded. Really?

“Oh God, I was like. I’m going to say, “Please mummy, love me” because I feel this big once more.

Caity is advised to express her feelings in a letter to her mother in an effort to reconcile.

Caity goes on to discuss how her grandad’s neighbor sexually assaulted her when she was eight years old, which she claims affected her relationship with her grandad in her song Weight of You.

Caity claims that her father weeps when he hears one of her songs.
Caity claims that her father weeps when he hears one of her songs.

She claims that this is where all of my issues with relationships and myself come from. “You trust an adult to do the right thing and make you feel safe, just like when you’re young.”

That’s such a big part of who I am and how I approach situations.

Caity claims that whenever her father hears the song, he “cries.”

Caity also reveals that a friend she had been seeing romantically at the age of 19 had raped her in her song Drank Me Dry.

She explains that there were two instances where it happened, and she didn’t want it to happen.

The lyrics to “Drank Me Dry” are “I really liked you, I really loved you, and you were so much fun.” And all it took was one night to ruin everything for me, make me feel so uncomfortable, and ruin everything. What purpose did that serve?

Caity recalls how she was “pretty drunk” at the time and that she resisted the man starting sex with her anyway because she resisted wanting to have sex with him.

She goes on to say, “I never believed there was anything wrong with what happened to me.”

She and her friend spoke about the incident for a year, and she was informed that the situation was unacceptable.

I sent him a text about a week later, saying, “By the way, I just thought you should know that that night… I remember everything that happened.

We’re going to have to agree to disagree on this one, I don’t believe that’s how it happened, I figuratively wrote it down, I sent it to him, and he returned.

I haven’t spoken to him since. Awful. “

This is also a continuation of the myth that having sex once gives you consent forever, as Caity describes how the man had appeared to believe they could have sex as they had previously done. Definitely not. “

Caity now hopes to represent victims of similar abuse.

She continues, “This is a specific topic that I am going to figure out how to become an advocate around,” adding that she enjoys “being” the voice of Gen Z and wants to use her platform permanently.

She says, “I’m personally going to try to do more.” These conversations are excellent starting points.

“I think I will continue to speak about issues that aren’t frequently discussed if I can be the voice of many young people.” those challenging subjects. Because having someone to look up to and say, “That happened to me. ” is really important.

Conor Maynard ‘screaming in pain’ over terrifying health ordeal

Conor Maynard has shared his harrowing medical experience, including releasing new music for his fans, that has prevented him from doing what he loves most.

Conor Maynard discussed his health concerns.

Conor Maynard has candidly opened up on a scary health ordeal that left him and his girlfriend in a panic. The singer, 32, took to Instagram to inform his followers of his situation as he uploaded a worrying looking snap of him on a stretcher.

The Can’t Say No hitmaker acknowledged that he had been left “screaming in pain.” And he confirmed that he had been “pretty quiet over the past few months” as a result of the incident.

Taking to his social media account, Conor said he wanted to tell his followers why he had been off-grid slightly. This comes months after he had vowed to “tell his side of the story” after his Charlotte Chilton baby drama.

He wrote on social media on Monday, “So I thought I’d explain why I’ve been quiet over the past few months, and why I released one song in May and then vanished without warning when the original intention was to post a number of songs for you guys.

I mentioned earlier this year that I was having back issues, and it has been a long road.

He complained that a picture of a cannula in his arm and another of himself being carried on a stretcher were both taken. The actor continued, explaining how he had informed them of a problem with his back earlier in the year and called it “quite the journey.” He later confirmed that there was a “bulbing disc between my L5-S1” problem.

After expressing his appreciation for the fans’ concerns and wishes at the time, he made sure to point out that others with similar issues would not necessarily find this story to be the same.

He said, “I tried going to a chiropractor for about 3-4 weeks,” before claiming that it wasn’t working. The singer received epidural steroid injections as a result.

He claimed that he would feel better on some days, but he also claimed that there would occasionally be no improvement. Then, over the weekend that I was about to leave, I suddenly experienced a “he confided,” which caused the most intense pain to both my right leg and the problem area.

“It completely caused my legs to buckle, but luckily I had something soft to fall onto while I was standing next to my sofa,” I said.

Conor claimed that he couldn’t locate a comfortable position and was forced to “scream out loud in pain.” He lost the color of his face as a result of the problem, which caused his girlfriend to call him an ambulance in a fit of panic.

There isn’t much that can be done right away with this kind of injury besides manage the pain and then make more long-term recovery attempts, he continued.

“As of right now, it seems like surgery is the only option, but that’s obviously kind of scary, lol. “

Conor described how caring for his new puppy has been impacted by the ordeal in “so many ways.” He also acknowledged that he couldn’t hold up a camera, making it nearly impossible to film any new music content.

Conor acknowledges that his daily activities, including football and padel, are preventing him from engaging in any of his hobbies.

As he attempted to navigate his issue, he concluded by saying to his fans, “Tip tips are still always appreciated.” Hope I’m back to fighting as soon as possible, doing what I love, and releasing music for all of you as soon as possible.
