A cheerful fruit bowl, that's also secretly a colander 😱, to add a cheerful pop of color to your practical kitchen.

Goodbye Wellies - This Is The Summer Boots Trend You'll Actually Want To Wear
We leave the house in the morning to sun shining in our eyes, hop off the train and it's raining (yes, we forgot our umbrella, as usual) and as we head to lunch we're sweating, while dodging puddles. Make it make sense. With all seasons in one day lately, navigating what to actually wear has become a full time job in itself. And while we're only a few weeks into official summer, there's no way we'll be letting a spot of rain – or a downpour – mess with our warm-weather outfits we've been looking forward to wearing since the start of the year. You know, the cotton boho blouses, polka dot dresses or culotte shorts we can't stop seeing all over our Insta feeds. The good news is, we don't have to retire our summer looks early – even with some rainy days on the cards – and it's all thanks to the fashion insiders confirming it's boots season already. Practicing 'the wrong shoe theory' TikTok trend (basically, when you pair an unlikely shoe with your outfit – think heels with sporty shorts) boots with summer looks are the latest pairing being worn by so many stylish women, and it just so happens to be the answer to what to wear when it's hot, but rainy. With one boot style proving to be the most popular (read: practical) right now, we want to show you how flat knee-high boots are going to be the saviour to styling your summer wares, even when the weather isn't delivering the summer vibes. Sofia Boman tries out the sheer blouse trend with an A-line cargo skirt, and we love the high/low look of this combo. While it could easily be styled with mesh ballet flats or a red flip flop, adding the Western style knee-high boot gives it a whole new unexpected feel. Plus, you won't be getting your legs wet if the heavens open. Acne Studios, Burberry and Bottega Veneta all put '90s grunge plaid back on the runways for spring/summer 2025, and content creator Trishna Goklani has shown a wearable way to style it. No doubt you'll want to copy and paste this outfit formula, so simply add a white vest to a floaty checked skirt, belt at the waist and finish a pair of flat knee-high boots (psst, Trishna told us these are a very good vintage Prada find on Vinted). A 'just in case' jumper around your shoulders is also a wise idea in case temperatures drop throughout the day, too. Polo tops, jumpers and dresses have been key for a while now, and we appreciate how fashion influencer Amaka Hamelijnck has given her grey polo dress an in-betweeny weather spin by adding a trench coat, summer sunnies and yes, you guessed it, a pair of flat knee high boots. Because while we'll always appreciate a heeled iteration, we'll be opting for the more functional flats so we're not slipping around during summer showers. Those striped linen shorts you bought at the start of summer and have been saving for holiday, don't. Instead, make like Chloe Butler and weather-proof them by adding a pair of riding boots (a key style for the upcoming autumn/winter season) along with a lightweight knit that you could also tie round your waist. Add this year's standout accessory everyone is wearing – the bandana– and you get a cool country girl look we'll be relying on heavily from here on out. Fashion insider and athlete Marilyn Nwawulor-Kazemaks is one to follow for everyday outfit inspo that'll make you want to up your game. Here, she's influenced us all into wanting to try out a pleated skirt (again, part of that '90s grunge revival we're seeing) and we'll be doing so by swapping our usual fitted T-shirt for a baggy style and completing the ensemble with chunky knee-high boots. Ready to try adding knee-high flat boots to all your favourite summer outfits? While some sites – including Cos, Zara and Mango – still don't have new season styles online, yet, we've found the brands that are getting ahead with these fresh pairs coming in from the likes of Arket and Reformation. Along with a completely waterproof style by Moncler and the Ganni boots that we're sure will be viral within a matter of weeks. You. Are. Welcome. 1. Arket, Leather Riding Boots The thick tread rubber sole on this Arket pair is perfect for unpredictable weather days. Invest in a good leather protector and these glossy riding boots will see you through so many seasons. 2. Reformation, Francesca Moto Boots Buckled boots were big news last year, and they're sticking around for autumn/winter 2025/26. Reformation's Francesca iteration may have a slight heel, but the chunky sole and loose-fit around the leg will still keep them super comfy. 3. Asos, Wide Fit Celeste Flat Western Knee High Boots Price: $55 According to Asos, there's been a 178% rise in search for all things #cowboycore (including Western boots) this month. Whether you wear them to a festival or for a rainy day with a cotton dress and jacket, you'll end up styling them so many ways. 4. Ganni, Studs Knee-High Boots Fresh in from Ganni, we have no doubt these will be the boots every fashion insider will be wearing from now, through to next season. Add to a Broderie anglaise mini skirt and vest look for summer and with an oversized trench and denim shorts come autumn. 5. Massimo Dutti, Leather Riding Boots How chic are these? Love the glossy finish and the gold detailing – riding boots will elevate even the simplest of outfits this summer, and we're so here for it. We predict these will sell fast (like all key Massimo buys) so be quick to get them. 6. Khaite, Sybil Glossed Leather Knee High Boots Khaite boots will always be an investment, but when opting for a black pair of knee-high boots you can guarantee you'll get the wear out of them – way beyond the season, and even year you buy them in. Again, make sure to protect these with a good leather spray but this timeless pair will serve you well. 7. & Other Stories, Biker Boots If knee-high boots aren't for you, you'll want to embrace the new cropped pairs coming through. This brown leather style with silver hardware & Other Stories is also a very chic alternative to classic black. 8. Moncler, Kickstream High Rain Boots If you want to bring out the big guns and be fully prepared for all forecasts, a knee-high rain boot is the answer. This Moncler style made from a waterproof material also has a drawstring lining so no water will be getting down to your socks!

8 colours we're loving this summer
The spring/summer 2025 runways painted a vivid picture of the season's mood through an unexpectedly soothing yet vibrant colour palette. Gone are the harsh neons of seasons past – 2025 welcomes a sophisticated spectrum of wearable hues that range from creamy neutrals to zesty brights. Here are the seven key colours that will define summer 2025 fashion, each bringing its own unique charm to your seasonal wardrobe. Butter Yellow 1/3 Jacquemus La Robe Vela Flounce Maxi Dress, Dhs5,887 This pale, creamy yellow has emerged as the season's most versatile neutral, replacing traditional beige in designers' collections. Seen everywhere from Chanel's elegant suits to Zimmermann's flowing dresses, butter yellow works equally well for daytime tailoring and evening gowns. Its soft golden undertones make it flattering across skin tones, while its neutral quality allows for easy pairing with everything from white denim to chocolate brown separates. Mocha Mousse 1/3 Prada Triangle-logo cropped jacket, Dhs8,700 Pantone's Color of the Year for 2025 makes a strong case for brown as the new black. Designers like Max Mara and Prada showcased the depth and sophistication of chocolate brown in luxurious linen dresses, tailored coats, and buttery leather accessories. This shade brings warmth to summer dressing while maintaining an urban edge, perfect for everything from office wear to weekend outfits when paired with lighter neutrals or bright citrus tones. Ballet Pink 1/3 Bottega Veneta Andiamo intrecciato leather tote, Dhs21,250 Moving away from the bold pinks of previous seasons, 2025 introduces a more delicate, romantic pink reminiscent of ballet slippers and rose petals. Alaïa and Miu Miu demonstrated how this whisper-soft hue can look modern and sophisticated rather than saccharine. The key is in its subtle blue undertones that keep it from feeling too sweet, making it ideal for everything from tailored suiting to ethereal eveningwear. Aperol Orange 1/3 Louis Vuitton Monogram Fil Coupé Shirt Dress, Dhs13,600 For those who crave color, designers offered the perfect solution in this juicy, cocktail-inspired orange. Bottega Veneta and Louis Vuitton showed how this vibrant shade can feel both playful and polished. Unlike previous seasons' neon oranges, this version has a slightly muted quality that makes it more wearable, especially when balanced with neutral tones like beige or white. It's the ultimate hue for making a statement while still feeling appropriate for daytime. Icy Blue 1/3 Tom Ford Georgette maxi dress, Dhs19,085 Blue takes on a frosty, ethereal quality for summer 2025. Chloé and Prabal Gurung used this pale, icy tone to create looks that felt both fresh and sophisticated. The color works particularly well in the season's light-as-air fabrics, from sheer overlays to flowing silk dresses. Its cool undertones make it a perfect choice for hot summer days, offering a visual cooling effect that's both stylish and practical. Spring Green 1/2 Victoria Beckham Asymmetric draped satin midi dress, Dhs4,600 Green appeared across the spectrum on runways, but the standout was this bright, lively spring green at Valentino and Victoria Beckham. Neither too minty nor too olive, this perfect middle-ground green brings energy to any outfit without overwhelming. It's particularly striking in structured pieces like blazers and midi skirts, where its vibrancy can really shine against more neutral backgrounds. Sea Foam 1/2 Alaïa Turtleneck Midi Dress, Dhs8,490 Erdem and other designers proposed this soft greenish-blue as a surprising neutral alternative. More interesting than standard beige but just as versatile, sea foam works beautifully with all the other colors in the 2025 palette. It's especially flattering in the season's flowing silhouettes and textured fabrics, adding depth and interest while maintaining an overall softness. Misty Lilac 1/3 Loro Piana André linen shirt, Dhs3,080 A surprise standout in the 2025 palette, misty lilac brings a soft, romantic touch to summer dressing. Designers like Valentino and Dior showcased this delicate purple-gray hybrid in flowing chiffon dresses and tailored separates, offering a sophisticated alternative to traditional pastels. With its muted, dusky undertones, this versatile shade pairs beautifully with butter yellow for a soft contrast or with chocolate brown for unexpected depth. Unlike brighter purples, misty lilac maintains a subtle, almost neutral quality that makes it surprisingly wearable for day and night. The summer 2025 color palette offers something for every taste, from those who prefer subtle sophistication to those who love bold statements. What makes this season particularly exciting is how these colors work together – imagine butter yellow with ballet pink, or mocha mousse with aperol orange. The combinations are endless, and all promise to capture the season's optimistic yet relaxed mood perfectly. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied Feature Image: Pinterest

The square-toe has quietly slipped back in. Here's how to cop the chic shoe style
As far as cult shoes go, Martin Margiela's cult Tabi goes unrivalled. When the first pair of the split toe silhouette opened his debut collection in '88, it wasn't just a reinvention of a 15th-century Japanese worker's shoe; it was also inspired by the square shoe styles made by Japanese designers like Rei Kawakubo herself. To conclude that very runway show? The models donned the house's emblematic white coats, dipped their shoes in red paint and then walked the runway—leaving the footprint of a shoe silhouette that was strange and unfamiliar at the time. Margiela danced with his odds, unravelling the fashion playbook as he went. The Tabi was iconic not just for the split look, but the geometric, square-toe as well. Maison Margiela spring 1995 backstage. @maison_martin_margiela_archive Throughout the '80s and '90s, the square-toe would continue to return in its quiet, subtle ways. Over time, it established codes of its own; its blunt, squarish tip could be paired to a narrower body, and it could be adapted for a slew of shoe silhouettes, from knee-high boots to open-toe mules. The past two seasons alone were proof of its staying power; a sea of styles parading down the spring and fall runways, adding an inevitable touch of chicness to its wearer. Bottega Veneta spring/summer 2025. Courtesy of Bottega Veneta Miu Miu fall/winter 2025. IMAXtree Crafty, weaved options were seen at Bottega Veneta. Sculptural, painterly heels were Sarah Burton's weapon of choice at her debut show for Givenchy. At Ann Demeulemeester, ballet-inspired flats came with a broad base instead of its usual pointy shape. And for a classic knee-high? Miu Miu delivered the goods, albeit rounding out its blunt edges slightly. Of course, A-listers high and low have been seen in all manners of a square-toe shoe. Inside Daisy Edgar-Jones's press tour run for On Swift Horses lay a gem: a pair of red Mary Jane ballet flats that gave her look its well-deserved gold star. In a dilemma as to what to snag from the myriad of square-toe silhouettes out there? The truth is, there's always a good old Tabi to fall back on. But if you're ready to expand your wardrobe repertoire, then here are all the square-toe shoe alternatives that are enjoying their moment in the sun.

Bottega Veneta Unveils the Orbit Flash: A Refined Take on Retro Sneakers
Name:Bottega Veneta Orbit Flash SneakerColorway:Black, Abyss/Ice/Egg Yolk, Sea Salt/BlackSKU:838373V3MS21000, 838373V3MS24290, 838373V3MS29166MSRP:$990 USDRelease Date:2025Where to Buy:Bottega Veneta Tapping into the ongoing resurgence of 70s-style runners,Bottega Venetaquietly unveiled theOrbit Flash— a sleek, minimalist update to its popular Orbit sneaker line. Released mid-summer 2025 via the brand's website, the Orbit Flash channels archival silhouettes through a modern lens, pairing retro sport aesthetics with premium craftsmanship. Where the original Orbit was chunky and futuristic, the Orbit Flash is noticeably flatter, sleeker, and more fluid, offering a stripped-back silhouette that speaks to the understated elegance Bottega has become known for. Visually, the pairs have an almost sculptural quality to it. The low-top profile feels deliberately softened, with a gently rounded toe that adds to its vintage athletic appeal. Rather than relying on oversized logos or loud color-blocking, the design finds its rhythm in sharp paneling and clean geometric trims. Each overlay appears precisely placed, wrapping around the foot in a way that feels both dynamic and sleek. It's a shoe that moves — visually and physically. Material-wise, the sneaker leans into contrast and texture without overcomplicating the silhouette. A lightweight nylon base forms the upper, wrapped in soft, caged suede overlays that add quiet dimension while maintaining a sleek profile. Inside, a plush lambskin lining enhances the experience with a smooth, second-skin feel, complemented by a leather insole engraved with their logo that speaks to the shoe's refined interior. Underfoot, the durable rubber outsole is subtly detailed with a pronounced tread at the heel — a functional design element that also features a tonal engraving of the Bottega Veneta logo. The color palette moves from grounded to expressive, with pairings that feel deliberate and fresh. A Sea Salt upper matched with Black or Caramel offers a clean, tonal option ideal for everyday styling, while bolder variations — like a striking sky blue rendition with a pop of egg yolk yellow at the tongue — inject a dose of playfulness into the otherwise restrained aesthetic. Regardless of colorway, the branding remains minimal, allowing the focus to stay on construction, materials, and silhouette. A quiet kind of luxury — one rooted in detail, not logos. Retailing for $990 USD and crafted in Italy, the Orbit Flash is a statement — a retro-inflected sneaker made for those who value form over flash, luxury without logos, and movement without noise. It's a quietly elevated addition to any outfit, effortlessly bridging casual ease with refined sophistication.
