25 Must-Haves To Repair Your Wardrobe
The Pink Stuff can do just about anything cleaning-wise, including getting rid of grime and dirt on your beloved Crocs! A portable fabric shaver to defuzz sweatpants, coats, all kinds of garments that have started to pill because they're worse for wear! Just be sure to test a small, hidden part before going whole hog on that midi overcoat. I did that to my actual midi coat I've had for ~7 years, as you can see/learn about below. And a cashmere comb that'll work on a variety of sweater materials (not just cashmere!) because you CAN take a fabric shaver to sweaters but you SHOULD use a gentler method. Leather Honey conditioner will breathe new life into all kinds of tired-looking leather, like on boots, purses, and more. It's nontoxic, non-oily, and will help your leather goods look and FEEL much better. Oh, and it's water-repellent! It might even have you doing double-takes at those looked-over boots from the back of your closet A jewelry cleaning kit that reviewers say give them a professional-level on the stuff they wear on the reg like wedding bands. It comes with a silver polishing cloth, a stone cleaner, and a detail brush. A specific ink remover to transform hand-me-downs that have been etched with Sharpie pens. And you can use that mighty lil' ink stain remover on pen stains, too! Promising review: "I don't normally write reviews, but this product has worked amazing. From Sharpie marker on the upholstery to, most recently, ink from an ink pen my 3-year-old daughter got ahold of and decided to draw on my Lululemon bag. Within seconds, the ink was gone!" —Amazon CustomerReviewers say this stuff has also worked on lightening pen stains on a Dooney & Bourke leather purse, ink smeared on a corduroy sofa, ballpoint pen on a movie screen, pen scribbles on a white leather couch, lipstick on a rug, and more. A $5 brass cleaner potion can bring some shine back to your designer bag's hardware (without a trip to the Louis Vuitton store). It just takes a tiny bit and some patient work with a cotton swab! A leather stain remover spray that'll turn back time on your leather couch, purse, boots, basically whatever that, despite leather usually withstanding most stains, is really showing its wear. This stuff is transformative! And clean up leather jackets with a microfiber cloth and this leather cleaner. Cue to you scrounging in the back of your coat closets for the jackets you haven't worn in ages but still haven't had the heart to declutter. It's their time to shine! Promising review: "This weekend, we cleaned five leather jackets that were completely covered with white mold. We used microfiber cloths and sprayed the leather cleaner on them, and followed the instructions, and we got wonderful results. We could see the leather really getting clean, and the cleaner also gave the leather a soft feel and a nice shine (we like it because it's not too shiny but looks great). It's GREAT!!" —Sandy Z A shoe stretch spray so you can make those go-go boots you scored at an estate sale or the thrift for criminally cheap work for all your fun ensembles. They used to fit and now they can again! Some leather zipper boot inserts with eyelets so you'll lace 'em into your Docs you don't wear as often as you should because you hate lacing 'em up when you're just trying to get out the door. Let's get your money's worth out of those boots and make getting dressed so much easier! (Psst, they're made to work with *all* brands.) Boot-Fix Glue so you can avoid going to the shoe-repair store because it always ends up being MUCH more expensive than you assumed. The only problem with your sole is that it's become detached. Give this a go first. A handbag organizer with LOTS of pockets that'll help you make the most of that tote you ADORE but REALLY needs far more organization. Or maybe it just (embarrassingly) has pen marks all over inside of it and you're trying to cover it up? Talk about a win-win. A pack of dual-sided SneakErasers to do nearly everything that pair of Sambas you've been wearing for the past six months need for zhuzhing up. One side will clean soles of scuffs, dirt stains, and grime, and the other side whitens them. Some liquid fabric dye can give your canvas sneakers a new life. The Rit website has a TON of official tutorials! And a powder fabric dye could be just the fix for anything whose color you're feeling a little meh about, is a little *too* faded, or would serve you better in a different hue. Grandma's Secret, an under-the-radar solution with serious stain-removing prowess — like, cleaning grease from denim. (Kinda seems like sorcery!) A jean button replacement kit in case the problem with your go-to pair is actually the hardware. Yes, $9 for a one-time fix can feel steep. But y'know what's steeper? Finding another pair and then paying for 'em. Oh, and there are MANY replacement buttons in this kit. Some bra bands that can easily add some extra space to your trusty underthing you aren't quite ready to part with. Bras are incredibly expensive, and these aren't! A puffer jacket repair kit to work around small rips and tears without having to toss a whole item of outerwear. A tie-dye kit for a fun solution as an afternoon activity that'll make you wanna wear the piece of clothing for years to come! Psst, this might be perfect for those white T-shirts that have pit or neck stains. A waist extender that'll help you get FAR more use out of those pants you're nervous about wearing to dinner because they're right on the cusp of being hard to button up. No need to replace! Be free! Use a waist extender! And on the flip side, a set of jean button pins to save the day when you're in between sizes on jeans you love — with this pin you can tighten up a waist gap on top by using this pin to latch it around the button hole and get a snugger fit without bothering with a belt. Bonus — installation is as easy as pressing it in, no sewing or hammering required! A four-way cleaning brush will make big moves on those black suede (or nubuck!) boots you decided to shuffle around in the dirt while wearing last weekend. Their days are no longer numbered. And the same brush can eliminate the evidence of last summer's wear on your suede-footbed sandals. (Cue to you learning this is a fix you can easily make! We're all learning something here.) Promising review: "So easy and quick. I had no idea I could get these this clean!" —tammi p. Bright shoelaces that come in a set of 15 colors so you can switch it up depending on that day's whims. And if you're REALLY into putting in some effort, a leather paint set will help you get creative with some leather shoes and accessories. Sometimes you just need to breathe some new life into a new-to-you accessory. There are LOTS of creative options!

Country singer Cody Johnson shares major life update on ACM Awards red carpet
Cody Johnson has revealed a big life update while at the 2025 American Country Music Awards. Before Thursday's awards ceremony, the country singer said while on the red carpet that he and his wife, Brandi, are expecting their third child together. 'We're having a little boy!' he told People. 'We decided to make this our announcement to the world and our gender reveal as well.' Johnson and his wife are currently parents to two daughters, Clara Mae, 10, and Cori, 8. The two have been married for over 10 years and first met when they were teenagers. 'My girls .. you can't beat my girls, I love my two girls with all my heart,' he added regarding the upcoming addition to his family. 'They're 10 and 8, Clara and Cori, and I think I'm excited to watch them help raise this little boy.' He told the publication that having a child now will be a little different compared to his daughters because he feels he is 'a lot better off now as far as career and financially.' 'He's going to get to do some things a little quicker than my daughters did,' Johnson said. The 'Leather' singer was then asked if he was hoping for his third child to be a boy, he quickly responded, 'Yes.' 'I didn't care if this one was a boy or a girl, but I was pretty happy when I saw the gender reveal,' Johnson said. Later in the evening, Johnson went on to win the award for Song of the Year for 'Dirt Cheap.' One of Johnson's fellow nominees, Morgan Wallen, ended up not attending this year's ACM Awards despite receiving a total of seven nominations, including Entertainer of the Year. Instead of attending the event, the 31-year-old country music star shared a photo on his Instagram Story that evening of him tossing a football on a golf course with retired NFL star Tom Brady. 'Had a little mustard on it @tombrady,' Wallen captioned the picture. In addition to being nominated for the show's top award, the Entertainer of the Year, the 'Love Somebody' singer had earned nods for Male Artist of the Year, Single of the Year, Song of the Year, Music Event of the Year, and Artist-Songwriter of the Year. He lost out in all seven categories. The reason for Wallen's absence remains unknown, though it continues his streak of missed awards shows. The Independent had contacted Wallen's representative for comment.

Next has so much stylish garments to choose from, that The Daily Record's own fashion expert recently trawled through the wide selection to share her favourite pieces. Fashion and Beauty Writer Rachel Williams found her top six picks from Next's summer edit. These ranged from casual dresses to ones perfect for occasion wear and beautiful airy tops. With the changing weather, many beauty fans are also switching up their skincare routines to let their complexions adapt to the sunnier seasons. Aldi recently released its new premium skincare line that shoppers are comparing to luxury Japanese beauty brand Tatcha, albeit with very different price points. Rachel Williams got the chance to try the entire range, with products available for as low as £4.99. Upon giving her final verdict, she said: "Let's face it, offering high quality, trendy skincare on a budget is incredibly appealing, isn't it? "Personally, I think Aldi's new Lacura Spring Skincare Collection is going to be another win for the supermarket."

Kate Middleton's favourite metallic Veja trainers are back in stock and have 20% off
The Princess of Wales has been spotted wearing this particular pair of Veja trainers numerous times over years, causing them to sell out. They're now back in stock – and on sale Kate Middleton is no stranger to wearing comfy and practical footwear when required to, such as on daytime royal engagements or visits to sporty causes. Veja seems to be her favourite brand of trainers, and she's regularly been snapped sporting one particular style, which usually flies off the shelves straight after. Now, however, we've spotted they're back in stock – and have 20% off in a spring sale. The Princess of Wales' exact style are the VEJA Esplar Logo Leather Extra White Platine Trainers with metallic gold leather detailing on the back and sides. Usually retailing for £120, they're now down to £96 on Daniel Footwear, saving you £24. At the time of writing they were still available in most sizes too, from EU sizes 35-40 – although we can't say how likely they'll stick around. VEJA Esplar Logo Leather Extra White Platine Trainers £120 £96 Daniel Footwear Buy Now on Daniel Footwear Product Description This particular design is made from premium leather with an organic cotton lining (ideal for warm weather) and a sole made from wild rubber sole sourced from the Amazonian rainforest. The brand's 'V' and the logo at the back are crafted from gold leather, adding a cool, glam touch to an otherwise sporty and casual item of footwear. We think they pair perfectly with, as Kate often wears them, cropped jeans, a T-shirt and a casual blazer, and they'd also look equally as good worn with a summery midi dress, or smarter wide-leg trousers for the office. You'll need to be quick if you want to bag a pair though, as we reckon they'll sell out again soon, especially now that they're currently discounted in price. The Princess of Wales was giving up more wardrobe envy earlier this week too, as she and Prince William visited Mull in Scotland on their wedding anniversary. Catherine wore a chic countryside look, consisting of a blue button-up shirt, tweed blazer, brown skinny trousers and chunky brown boots. The exact blue shirt Kate appeared to be wearing is Boden's Blue Longline 100% Linen Safari Shirt, £98 and amazingly still in stock in sizes 8-18 – though, again, not for long, we imagine. We also spotted a couple of cute personalised necklaces around her neck, depicting the initials of her children's names – a trend we've also spotted Michelle Keegan wearing following the birth of her daughter Palma. PRYA's Custom Name Necklace, £42, is a good lookalike for Michelle's, while you could layer up Lily & Roo Solid Gold Curve Initial Necklaces, £125, to copy Kate's multi-letter look.
