Glam, Easy, a Little Bit Sleazy: Electric Purple Is Fall's Color-To-Watch
'Electric purple' isn't a shade I'd say has ever been a serious part of my own sartorial lexicon. In saying that, there was a time before Spanish it-girl brand Paloma Wool was the coolly restrained, subversive Paloma Wool we know it as today, when they were putting out jewel-toned corduroy jumpsuits. One in particular was a brilliant Skittles purple shade, in a style that would have fit better on the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band cover art than Barcelona's Eixample streets. That balshie, bold color palette has long been scrubbed away from Paloma's now cool-toned IG aesthetic, and I sold the jumpsuit on Depop for cheap when my own personal take on color theory said the same. After that brief dalliance, I have not, for some time, seen myself as a purple girl—of any hue. Aubergine? Maybe sometimes. Lilac? Hell no. Royal purple? Not yet. And then the fall 2025 runways began to pepper in electric purple. While the previous season was defined by lithe, lighter shades of lilac and lavender—alongside the requisite butter yellows and cornflower blues—fall 2025 goes deeper, more sumptuous. At Gucci—an interim collection following the departure of Alessandro Michele—there were some era-hopping Gucci-isms: Michele's moddish '60s shapes, De Sarno's silky slips, and glam details that recalled Tom Ford's '90s tenure. But a continuous thread was a Daphne Blake-esque purple; in pea coats, sheer dresses, billowing blouses, and a monochromatic heels and stockings combo. 'A continuum of craft, taste, and culture that passes through time,' is how a press release described the show—the jewel color defined a kooky yet stoic sense of glamor for a house in flux. The color purple has long been associated with royalty and spirituality, and electric purple is a way various designers and houses chose to express their own version of power and—once again—louder luxury. At Miu Miu, it was stomping go-go boots. At Alexander McQueen, Seán McGirr took it a few shades more gothy for his Oscar Wilde-inspired characters in eggplant-y ruffles. Nina Ricci by Harris Reed revelled in the women who danced the nights of the '70s away, with sensuous fabrics, opulent jewel-colored faux-furs, animal-print slips, strong shouldered velvet blazers. Colleen Allen's irreverant collection celebrated the female form and spirit, proposing a self-described 'divisive' purple among celery greens and cerulean blues. Purple and fluoro-flecked Fair Isle clothed Anna Sui's 1930s screwball comedy heroines.

‘Mafia: The Old Country' Is Bringing Back Something Gamers Want
I've heard a lot of chatter lately about a certain kind of nostalgia, one that yearns for a particular era of gaming—let's call it when the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 reigned supreme. This was a time when games were typically far more digestible (10-20-ish hours to fully complete), had little padding and also sported lower price tags, usually somewhere in the $50-60 range for many AAA titles. I'm talking about notable marquee experiences like Uncharted or Halo 3 or Gears of War. Today, the same sort of games usually start at $70 and go up from there: Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, for example. Astro Bot did launch at $60, so kudos to Sony for being pro-consumer there, and the polished 3D platformer is worth every penny, in my humble opinion. Still, you'll pay $80 for a standalone copy of Mario Kart World on Nintendo's Switch 2, although to be fair, I remember paying $70-90 at retail for Super Nintendo games back in the early '90s, and $40-70 for original PlayStation titles during roughly the same time period, so perhaps games have gotten relatively cheaper over the years. Or at the very worst, they've stayed around the same price. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Yes, modern game budgets have ballooned out of control, so I guess the money needs to be made up somewhere, but this occurs in an industry that habitually, routinely, even flippantly I'd argue, lays off its talent in sweeping, impersonal waves. Of course, this is happening while publishers make billions of dollars from the hard work. I'll blame AI for now, and greedy executives, too. But maybe, just maybe, we're finally self-correcting and heading in a slightly healthier direction. 2K's upcoming franchise prequel, Mafia: The Old Country, is launching on August 8 for a reasonable and rather old-school $49.99, $10 less than the aforementioned first-party Astro Bot. Is the game AAA in quality? I suppose that judgement is subjective, but from the preliminary footage, it certainly looks to be the case. According to IGN, who published a solid (if somewhat spoiler-filled) hands-on preview of The Old Country, the $50 asking price isn't the only return-to-form aspect of the game. The newest Mafia entry ditches Mafia III's notably out-of-character pivot into open world gameplay and returns to the series narrative-driven, linear approach. One could posit that the industry's general obsession with open world premises and hyper-realistic visuals has outright lead to the problematic budgets I previously mentioned, so positioning The Old Country as a game which sports perfectly acceptable graphics and a campaign that won't take you three months to complete… well, this could please a lot of gamers, including myself. As IGN's Ryan McCaffrey touches on in the video preview, a lot of us aging gamers have children now, as well as jobs and obligations and busy lives. Thus, 40-plus hour adventures just don't hit the way they used to, don't boast the same kind of appeal. There's no official word yet from developer Hangar 13 on The Old Country's overall length, but the welcome throwback vibe is already apparent. This will likely be a game that you can play through in a weekend or two, or in short spurts during evenings after work and getting the kids to bed. Combine this with a potentially engaging story and that attractive $50 price tag, and 2K could have a winning formula on its hands, one that harkens back to an era when I wasn't worried about the mortgage or kindergarten or doing the dishes. Speaking of, I need to get back to scrubbing.

7 major midlife diet mistakes that are 'sabotaging' your metabolism
Along with some suspect fashion trends (visible thongs and low-rise jeans), the nineties and noughties gave a lot of us questionable eating habits. In an effort to emulate the bodies of Kate Moss (skinny) and then Gisele (skinny with big boobs), lots of us adopted nutritionally inadvisable diets (cabbage soup) and embraced a world of rice cakes, calorie counting, zero-sugar sodas and low-fat everything. You may also like 15 minutes of walking a day will 'massively' help you lose weight How to restore strength and muscle in your 40s, 50s and 60s Why it really doesn't matter if you skipped your workout today – according to a PT Recently, I was on a health retreat with wellness influencers and journalists, women who have "glow with health" in their job description, and I was struck by how many of us were fighting against ingrained eating patterns, ones we have always believed are "good" and "slimming" but are actually unhealthy and can trigger weight gain. In reality In an illuminating one-to-one session with the nutritionist Rhian Stephenson, the founder of the supplement brand Artah and host of the retreat, she helped me see how many of my own habits were counterintuitive. And misery-making. She said: "Midlife women often adopt strategies that sabotage metabolism – using excessive artificial sweeteners, focusing on low-calorie, ultra-processed foods and remaining fearful of healthy fats." Here, Rhian shares seven mistakes that midlifers (OK, many of us) often make in our diets. Midlife diet mistakes 1. Skipping breakfast "If you allow yourself to get chronically hungry, this can elevate cortisol, which directly drives fat storage. Deprivation can also disrupt the signalling of ghrelin [the hunger hormone] and leptin [the satiety hormone], making it harder for you to recognise fullness and increasing cravings for high-sugar or high-fat foods. Getting ravenous can also activate a 'binge-restrict' loop, where extreme hunger post-fasting leads to loss of control around food and repeated overconsumption." 2. Crash dieting "Long-term chronic undereating can impede muscle mass, creating the opposite of the desired effect, because maintaining muscle mass is one of the most impactful things we can do to help with weight management or loss. Prolonged fasting also signals 'starvation mode' to the body, so it will reduce your metabolic rate and promote fat storage." 3. Eating fruit for breakfast "Fruit is a great source of micronutrients and fibre, but relying solely on it for breakfast can be counterproductive for weight loss in the long term. It can cause blood-sugar spikes that affect focus, energy and metabolism, creating energy crashes within hours and amplifying cravings and overeating later in the day. It also lacks protein, and over time, this habit could accelerate muscle loss." 4. Saving your calorie 'allowance' for the evening "Eating heavily late at night impairs fat metabolism and causes higher glucose spikes and lower insulin sensitivity than identical meals eaten earlier. It disrupts sleep, thanks to delayed melatonin release, which in turn elevates cortisol and the hunger hormone." 5. Believing "everything in moderation" "This statement discounts the fact that so many ultra-processed foods are designed specifically to be over-consumed, so it's impossible to be moderate. This also leads to binging and the idea that it's your will power that failed." 6. Double down on your diet when it doesn't work "We're unprepared for how much our metabolism changes over our lifetime, so we tend to overreact and try to be too restrictive or hardcore when what's worked previously doesn't anymore. This then leads to a cycle of imbalance." 7. Think alcohol doesn't count "I see a lot of women who are drinking too much alcohol in midlife – ten-plus units per week. This is counterproductive for weight management, and for every other aspect of long-term health when it comes to women."
