Staud Tommy Bags Are On Sale For $177 Right Now—Get One Before They Sell Out
If you've been coveting a Staud Tommy bag, I have very good news: Right now, you can shop eight styles at up to 40% off at Shopbop. During the fashion retailer's current sale, six prints are on sale for $177—the lowest price I've ever seen for a brand-new Tommy bag. In other words, it's the perfect opportunity to pick up a new statement bag for spring.
When Staud Tommy bags first started popping up on my TikTok For You Page last spring, I was instantly sold. The bright patterns and beaded texture made them unlike any purse I'd seen before. Naturally, I had to have one.
I treated myself to the Staud Tommy in the Blossom Garden pattern for my birthday, and the bag hasn't disappointed. It adds a fun pop to otherwise boring outfits, and I'm always getting compliments when I carry it. I've been wanting to add another one to my closet this year, and this Blossom Floral Tapestry pattern is calling my name now that it's 40% off.
Beyond the chance to pick up a Staud Tommy for under $200, this Shopbop sale is extra impressive because these aren't all deals on past season's designs. Five of the patterns included in the Shopbop sale are on sale for full price direct from Staud right now.
If one catches your eye, be sure to snap it up—Staud Tommy sales tend to sell out fast. In fact, during the brand's Sample Sale last week, most of the Tommy bags sold out within a matter of hours.

Tommy Smith – Battling ALS one day at a time
COLUMBUS, Ga (WRBL) – When Tommy Smith was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis back in 2012, his family reacted like any family would. Rallying together around Smith, and that gracious support from his community has benefited Smith in more ways than he can express. ALS robs the body of the ability to walk, talk, eat, work, and in the worst cases the ability to breathe. Relatively, Tommy Smith has been lucky. Where most cases of ALS have a 2-5 year life expectancy, Smith is on year thirteen. For Tommy – ALS has so far robbed him of being a little league umpire, playing with his grandkids without a wheelchair, and speaking normally. That said – it has not been easy. Luckily for Tommy Smith, there's Vickie Smith. The couple met when Tommy was nine years old, and Vickie was seven as next door neighbors. They have been together just short of 46 years. Vickie has been Tommy's caregiver ever since his diagnosis, and has done everything in her power to provide for Tommy. Over the past couple of years, Vickie has had her own health problems. Recently being declared cancer-free, after her second fight with Breast Cancer. Obviously with a disease like ALS, the medical bills pile up quickly. The average cost to care for a person with ALS is $250,000. Major League Baseball has stepped up to the plate in recent years, recognizing those that suffer from the same disease as Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig. Gehrig's name is forever intertwined with the disease, as many refer to it as 'Lou Gehrig's disease'. You can see WRBL's feature of Tommy and Vickie Smith's battle with ALS in the video player above.

New Elgin School of Rock to celebrate grand opening with music lessons, concert
It may not be the 'Rock 'n' Roll High School,' but Tommy Evans hopes students who check out Elgin's new School of Rock get the same kick from music that he did when he first heard groups like the Ramones. The music school's newest franchise at 355 S. Randall Road will celebrate its grand opening from 1:30 to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 7, by offering a free music lessons and a concert by Elgin School of Rock's 101 program students. Evans, a St. Charles resident who's been playing guitar since he was a teen, opened the school with his mother, Meg. He remembers the thrill he felt when he first got into music, he said. 'My friends introduced me to bands like Nirvana and the Ramones, and I became infatuated with the sound of the guitar and the process of creating music,' Evans said. He went on to get his bachelor's degree in audio production and design from Columbia College in Chicago in 2012 and has played with bands in the Chicago area, including one he formed called Secret Colours. The band's name is a nod to a Beatles song, its sound inspired by '90s Britpop acts like Oasis, Blur and Pulp. 'My (late) father (Jim Evans) listened to a lot of those bands in that scene,' Evans said. 'Something about the sound of that time and place will always make me feel nostalgic. It had such raw energy and aspiration behind it. I think it will always influence my songwriting in one way or another.' Secret Colours' music has been featured in YouTube videos, the 2015 horror movie 'Wind Walkers,' and TV shows including Showtime's 'Shameless' and 'Californication,' CW's 'The Vampire Diaries' and Hulu's 'Difficult People.' Still, like many musicians, Evans needed a full-time job to pay his bills and started working for School of Rock in 2013. Since then he has played various roles with the organization, most recently as general manager of the location in Naperville. After gaining experience, Evans said he realized it was time to open a School of Rock franchise of his own. 'I love the mission of School of Rock,' he said. 'It does so much more than teach music. It helps people learn how to work together, encouraging each other toward a common goal, building confidence and having great experiences in rehearsals and at venues,' Elgin's is the 401st School of Rock in the country; more than 20 of those are located in Illinois. Evans opened and operates the business with his mother, Meg, who lives in Geneva. 'My husband, Jim, passed away unexpectedly in 2021, just six weeks after I retired from a 35-year sales career with Johnson & Johnson,' Meg Evans said. 'When Tommy came to me with the desire to get involved and open his own school, it helped give me some purpose back. Jim would have loved it. He supported Tommy in everything Tommy ever did.' In addition to the free lessons and performance, the grand opening celebration will feature a ribbon-cutting, food, beverages and tours. The students who will be performing are among the 40 who have come on board since the school's soft opening two months ago. They already have eight adult students, and 'as soon as we get six or more adults, we will be able to form a band with them,' Meg Evans said. 'At the end of each three- to four-month term, they will play at a local venue.' School of Rock teaches guitar, bass, keyboard, drums and vocals. Students have a 45-minute, one-on-one lesson every week followed by a 90-minute band rehearsal lesson, Evans said. The school is offering a variety of summer camps as well, she said. They've also has been getting involved in the Elgin community. They offered free lessons earlier this month at the Elgin Public Museum, and will be doing events at Lords Park Zoo and Elgin Downtown Market, conducting a kids interactive musical experience before the June 20 screening of 'Soul' in Wing Park, marching in Elgin's Fourth of July Parade, and sponsoring the summer outdoor concert series at Panton Mill Park in South Elgin. 'And when we have our own house band, we will be out playing wherever the community would need us,' Meg Evans said.

‘The Last of Us' season 2 let me down — here's 3 things the finale can do to win me back
I'm a "Last of Us" superfan. The PlayStation duology ranks among my favorite video games of all time, and I was hugely impressed by the first season of the HBO show. Sadly, I've had a less enthusiastic response to 'The Last of Us' season 2. I've been left feeling largely disappointed by the show's long-awaited return, as each episode makes more and more significant changes to the source material that, in my opinion, don't benefit the overall story. It's not that 'The Last of Us' season 2 has been especially bad, it's just not hit the heights of season 1, and hasn't resonated with me in the way The Last of Us Part 2 video games did, and continues to do so to this very day. Nevertheless, with the finale set for this weekend (airing on HBO and Max on Sunday, May 25), I'm preparing to watch with an open mind and the hope that the season can be salvaged at the death. For that to happen, here are the three things I want to see in 'The Last of Us' season 2, episode 7. But first, a quick spoiler warning: this article contains spoilers for The Last of Us Part 2 game and may contain spoilers for future episodes of the HBO show. One of the most curious changes that the HBO show has made compared to the original video game is its handling of the character of Tommy (played by Gabriel Luna in the show). In the Part 2 game, Tommy is the one who first heads out to Seattle to find (and kill) Abby, with Ellie and Dina following in his wake. Alternatively, in the world of the show, Tommy is a pillar of the community in Jackson and a family man with a young child. He stays behind to rebuild the makeshift town following its attack by a horde of infected, with Ellie and Dina trekking to Seattle on their own to find Abby. I wasn't a fan of this change, but with the die now cast, at the very least, I want Tommy to be properly brought back into the mix. The good news is Tommy's reemergence appears almost certain. We know he's now on the board, as Jesse revealed in episode 6 that the other Miller brother accompanied him to Seattle. Tommy's role should be sizeable in the finale, and that'll make me very happy. "The Last of Us" as a franchise has never been scared of shock character deaths, and arguably the most out-of-the-blue kill in the series to date is that of Jesse. There's no buildup to this murder. Instead, Ellie and Jesse hear somebody breaking into their theater base, sprint to confront this intruder (revealed to be Abby), and in a split second, Jesse is snuffed out via a bullet to the head. It was a moment that left me nearly breathless when playing the game for the first time. I was initially convinced that Jesse hadn't just died in such a sudden way. But in the world of "The Last of Us," key characters don't always get heroic deaths or dramatic send-offs. This apocalyptic world is much too brutal for every character to go into the dark night with a fitting swansong. The show needs to keep this important moment intact, and fortunately, I think it most likely will. While season 2 has made a boatload of changes, it has, at least so far, kept the narrative broad strokes the same, and I hope it won't go as far as to alter a key character's untimely fate. OK, so I'll fully acknowledge this one is a bit of a nitpick, but I was super disappointed that Joel's iconic line just before his brutal murder at Abby's hands ('Why don't you say whatever speech you got rehearsed, and get this over with.") was removed in favor of one that lacked the same punch. The much-anticipated theatre confrontation between Abby and Ellie, which all signs point towards being the bookend of 'The Last of Us' season 2, contains an equally iconic moment, when Abby, shocked to discover the person hunting her and her friends down is Ellie and Tommy, spits out 'we let you both live and you wasted it' before raising her gun to shoot. Cut to black. It's a real fan-favorite line, and I'll be pretty miffed if this dialogue is also removed (or significantly reworked). Here's hoping the show opts to keep this intense scene pretty much unchanged. When you land on perfection the first time, why alter things the second time?
