You can shop ASOS IRL at the brand's first-ever U.S. pop-up this week in NYC
Want to give your wardrobe a summery boost? You can do what you usually do and give the "New In" section of ASOS a quick digital browse— or you can shop that beloved British retailer IRL at the brand's first-ever U.S. pop-up store, which has taken over Soho 's 120 Wooster Street through Sunday, June 22.
'Bringing its trend-forward aesthetic to SoHo, NYC, one of the city's most iconic neighbourhoods for style and culture," per the brand, the immersive two-story pop-up shop features a curated edit of spring/summer 2025 styles across women's and men's clothing, accessories, and shoes, spanning exclusive drops, seasonal pieces and e-commerce collections.
Shoppers are able to peruse both ASOS-owned and partner brands, including Arrange, ASOS's "premium, craft-focused label designed in London by a women-led team (and yes, that does mean dresses with pockets)" that launched this past March. And as with the usual ASOS digital experience, the sartorial stock at the pop-up boutique is separated into themed sections (think "Euro Summer" and "Party Vibes"), with items priced between ten bucks and $300.
Can't find your size or favorite color in store? Given that ASOS is first and foremost an "e-tailer," customers will be able to scan the QR code on any given item, which will then take them to the product's specific purchase URL on the ASOS website.
The UK-based fashion giant, which boasts 20 million active customers in over 200 markets worldwide, debuted its first pop-up store in London in November 2023. And if all goes well in New York, the retailer will continue to expand its physical presence stateside with even more planned activations throughout the U.S.
"Right now, this is a test-and-learn moment," Sean Trend, ASOS' Managing Director, told Forbes. "We're focused on making this first activation a success and exploring how we might bring similar experiences to other U.S. cities. While permanent retail isn't the immediate plan, if the response is strong, we would love to take the concept to other cities, and we may even invite our customers to help decide where we go next."

Aston Martin Built Residences in Downtown Miami so You Can Live Like 007 From $550k
If owning an Aston Martin isn't enough to fulfill your fantasies, perhaps living in Aston Martin's Miami condos might do it. The perfect complement to an actual Aston Martin So you own an Aston Martin. Congratulations! A British sports car/supercar with so much power and pedigree should be on anyone's dream car list, especially if 007 lives rent-free in your mind. We don't have to mention the Cygnet, though. Now, what if you could live in a building that exuded the same energy as your car, though? I'm here to tell you that you're in luck. Aston Martin Residences Miami — Source: Aston Martin Living in British opulence During F1 Miami last year, Aston Martin opened the marque's 'Aston Martin Residences Miami,' a 66-story residential building placed smack-dab in downtown Miami at 300 Biscayne Boulevard Way. Living conditions range from one to five-bedroom residences and duplexes. According to Aston Martin's original press release, 99% of the 391 condos were already sold before construction was even finished, with more than 50 residents already owning an Aston Martin. That's a lot of secret agents. Aston doesn't expect you to take care of your own business, so in addition to an exclusive superyacht marina, a private butler service will be on-call 24/7 to help residents with whatever they might need. As for design, residents can pick between three carefully curated interior styles that Aston Martin feels best represent their brand. The Timeless collection builds on the brand's heritage and creates a more contemporary style, the Covert collection is inspired by darker car interiors and sounds the most like a Bond-style room, while the Indulgent collection is the top-of-the line choice, using natural materials for a softer, calming palette with 'bursts of theatre.' Aston Martin Residences Miami Sky Lobby Aston Martin Residences Miami Everything you could ever need in one building The building was designed in collaboration with Aston Martin's design team and world-leading architect Rodolfo Miani of Bodas Mian Anger (BMA). The overall design aesthetic was meant to represent a sail, which makes sense given its waterside setting, with some rather stunning views of the Biscayne Bay, the Miami River, and the Miami skyline. Some of the features that the automaker has distilled into its residences as callbacks to their cars include doors with bespoke Aston Martin handles, number plinths, and kestrel tan leather door tabs. The latter of which is a color often used in Aston Martin interiors. Autoblog Newsletter Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video.

There, residents will find themselves having to pick between a two-floor fitness center with views of the Atlantic Ocean, an art gallery, two movie theatres, a virtual golf simulator, a business center, a conference room, a kids' playroom, a full-service spa, a beauty salon, and a barber shop. The 55th floor also houses an infinity pool, with its own pool deck, jacuzzis, cabanas, sky bar, lounge, an entire ballroom, private dining areas, and even a state-of-the-art chef's kitchen. Short of having its own Whole Foods in the building, I can hardly think of a reason why you would ever have to leave your home. Aston Martin Residences Miami Ballroom Aston Martin Residences Miami Ballroom Chillin like a villain, perhaps? If your net worth is far too high to live in a regular condo, fret not, for the masterminds at Aston Martin have your needs in mind, too. The building features seven penthouses, all with their own private pools and terraces, of course, as well as the building's crown jewel: the 'Unique Triplex Penthouse.' This one is for the real honcho, for whom a single floor in a luxury 66-story building is nowhere near enough. The Triplex Penthouse is a three-floor condominium at the top of the building, spanning a total of 27,191 square feet of living space. Aston Martin Residences Miami Final thoughts Living in an automaker-built skyscraper in the middle of Miami is something out of my finest fantasies. The building's design is tremendously gorgeous and unique, as are the interiors depicted in the photos. It exudes that elegant, minimalist vibe that I'm particularly fond of, but which some may find too bland. According to Miami Luxury Homes, there are currently 85 condos available for sale and 58 available for rent. Sale prices range from $550,000 for a studio condo to $59,000,000 for a 7-bedroom condo. If you thought an actual Aston Martin would set your checkbook on fire, these prices might do a little more. This is merely the automaker's foray into residential developments, too, with projects like the Sylvan Rock private residential estate located in Rhinebeck, New York, and № 001 Minami Aoyama, the first Aston Martin-designed home in Asia, currently underway.

Major UK supermarket slashes price of 80 grocery staples including chocolate, ice cream & vegetables to match Aldi
A MAJOR British supermarket is slashing its prices in its stores and online, giving customers major savings on its most popular items. The retailer has added 80 grocery staples to its well-loved Aldi Price Match in a bid to match the discount retailer. 6 6 6 Tesco has included a wide range of products as part of the new programme including many its private label items. The price of Tesco hummus pots has dropped to 99p alongside many other summer essentials such as fresh produce, like iceberg lettuce for 64p, baby tomatoes lowered to 78p and onions reduced to 35p. Frozen goods have also had the same treatment, with fish and steak included in the programme. But customers, who will be wanting something to keep cool over a hot summer, will be pleased to know that a three-pack of milk chocolate ice creams is now only £1.39, and a 4-pack of strawberry and vanilla ice cream will cost only £1.25. 6 Tesco chief commercial officer Ashwin Prasad said: 'We are absolutely committed to providing great value for Tesco customers, and we have carefully chosen more than 80 additional products to add to our Aldi Price Match scheme. 'We have added many customer favourites, including our Tesco own-brand hummus pots and baby plum tomatoes, giving customers the assurance that they are getting great prices on some of our most popular products.' The huge price cut extends to non-food items too, including exclusive brands like baby and toddler essentials, Fred & Flo. Tesco have announced this bold move following a strong first quarter, which saw sales go up by 5.9%. And yet, the price drop also coincides with the announcement that the rate of food price inflation rose to 4.4% in May, an increase from 3.4% in April, according to the Office for National Statistics (ONS). As a result, the rising cost of essentials like food puts those on lower incomes under particular pressure to make ends meet. Examples of products added to Aldi Price Match While the programme includes 80 products, here are some of the price drops customers can expect. Tesco Houmous (200g) 99p Tesco Iceberg Lettuce (200g) 64p Tesco Baby Plum Tomatoes (300g) 78p Tesco 2 Steak Slices (300g) £1.75 Tesco Red Onions (3 pack) 95p Tesco Lightly Salted Tortilla Chips (200g) 89p Tesco 2 Breaded Chunky Cod Fillets (350g) £3.49 Tesco Deep Pan Cheese Pizza (386g) £1.35 Fred & Flo Easy Fit Pants Size 4 (42 pack) £3.56 Fred & Flo Baby Shampoo (500ml) 82p Tesco Milk Chocolate Ice Creams (3 pack) £1.39 Tesco Strawberry and Vanilla Ice Creams (4 pack) £1.25 6 What's more, Tesco has more than 1,000 prices fixed included in its Low Everyday Prices deals and 9,000 Clubcard Price deals on offer to members each week. This new batch of lower-priced products comes after the retailers removed over 100 items from the programme in February. What is price matching? Since the cost of living crisis has put more and more pressure on consumers, price matching has become common place amongst the 'Big Four' supermarkets. 6 For Tesco, the Aldi Price Match programme was founded five years ago, in addition to its Clubcard membership programme. The aim is to incentivise customers to shop with the retailer for savings, as the UK supermarket giants battle out to have the best prices.

The £1bn cost of the National Insurance raid that Reeves ignored
Rachel Reeves's National Insurance tax grab has left councils facing a seven-figure shortfall with more at risk of bankruptcy, MPs have warned. The Chancellor raised employer contributions to 15pc during her Budget, but a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report on Wednesday said ministers had failed to properly assess another £1.1bn of potential costs. MPs said the Government had not carried out an assessment of the true costs, and demanded it review the short- and long-term impact on providing services. Councils are now facing the risk of private providers passing on their increased costs and handing back social care contracts they can no longer afford to deliver, it said. The report added that local government finance was in a 'perilous state', with budget deficits putting many councils at risk of effectively going bankrupt. The Local Government Association (LGA), which represents councils, has already warned that more than half of councils are on course for insolvency next year. The National Insurance contribution rate for employers rose from 13.8pc to 15pc in April following changes in October's Budget. The salary threshold also dropped from £9,100 to £5,000, as the Government tried to raise tax for public spending. Ministers set aside £4.7bn to support the public sector, including £502m for councils to cover increases in their direct employment costs. However, the LGA calculated the actual cost to be £637m. It also warned of £1.1bn in extra costs for councils passed on by service providers they had commissioned. The PAC report said: 'Some local authorities may be able to provide financial support to service providers for these increases in costs, but it is unacceptable that the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and HM Treasury have not assessed how much impact this could have on local authorities.' It added: 'Spending on special educational needs and disabilities (Send) has outstripped the money available from the Department for Education to pay for it. Local authority deficits from these overspends are expected to be between £2.9bn and £3.9bn a year by the end of 2027–28. 'The mechanism which allows local authorities to keep these deficits off their books is due to run out in March 2026, and without it, many local authorities are at risk of effectively going bankrupt.' The charity, Mencap, which supports more than 4,000 people with learning difficulties, also told the committee it could be forced to hand back social care contracts after a potential £18m annual increase in costs due to National Insurance and national living wage rises. It comes as council tax is expected to rise again to fund major commitments announced earlier this month in Ms Reeves's first spending review. Rates are already at record levels, with nine in 10 areas across England enduring the maximum 4.99pc council tax rise this year, and parts of Scotland and Wales slapped with even higher increases. A spokesman for the County Councils Network, which represents local authorities, said the Government's compensation covered less than half of the increased costs in National Insurance. He said: 'This year, county and unitary councils are having to make an unprecedented £1.2bn in savings due to rising demand for services, compounded by recent government decisions. One of those was the decision to raise employers' National Insurance contributions, which has adversely impacted on councils. 'Our recent survey found that the Government's compensation covered just 40pc of the costs of this policy for county and unitary councils this year, meaning they will have to make up the shortfall through service reductions and other efficiencies.' Councillor Louise Gittins, chairman of the LGA, said the spending review had left councils under continued financial pressure. She said: 'Many will continue to have to increase council tax bills to try and protect services, but still need to make further cutbacks. While the Government faced tough choices, future funding for adult social care is good news but a lack of significant extra government money needed to meet immediate pressures is worrying.' Jim McMahon, of the Ministry of Housing, said the PAC's claims were not supported by the evidence. He said: 'The spending review provided over £5bn of new grant funding for local services, and that's on top of the £69bn we have already injected this year to boost council finances. 'The results speak for themselves. Over 95pc of audited accounts were submitted for the deadline we set, no S114 were issued by councils as a result of financial distress, and claims against Exceptional Financial Support were £1bn less than the previous year.'
