Promising review:"If you have a corporate job and lug around a laptop, notebook, planner, pouch(es) of things…then you'll love this. It fits everything I need without being too big. Has plenty of pockets. Color is really nice. And it wipes down easily!! Somehow I got a black stain on it the first week I bought it and I panicked. I took a damp paper towel and wiped it right off.

2. A tapestry trucker jacket for 60% off if you want a statement piece that says, "I'm spunky but still on trend." Plus, reviewers say this is perfect for chilly weather, but not super-cold weather, so this jacket has got you through the weird winter and spring in-between season!
Nordstrom
Promising reviews:"I first ordered a medium because that's my usual size, but had to exchange for a small. I still have room to wear a sweater under it. I love it and get so many compliments. It's best for chilly but not super cold weather, unless you layer up." — gneb93
"Such a unique and well made piece!!" — Rach
3. A stacking set of three coin pendant necklaces for 30% off so you can give Roman goddess of old without having to spend all the tribute money from your adoring citizens in one place.

Nordstrom
Promising review:" These are great if you want a higher waist, no-nonsense corduroy jeans with some stretch. If between sizes, I'd advise sizing down — I prefer a loose fit and still found that the larger of my two usual sizes was a bit too big (especially with the stretch)." — SallieT
11. A knit Panama hat for up to 55% off if you want to add a little accessory spice to your wardrobe. If you've been thinking about a big-brimmed hat but have had sticker shock at taking the leap, Nordstrom's got you (and your head!) covered.
12. A funnel neck midi dress for 50% that'll help you solve the dilemma of "I don't know what to wear" if you need to go to many events in one day. Slip into this number, along with your favorite cropped jacket and stylish booties, for a cool outfit that'll work for the office *and* your friend's birthday dinner.
Nordstrom
13. A pair of striped pleated pants for 61% off because pleated pants are evergreen and these will pair nicely with your new loafers!
14. A herringbone burlap scarf for up to 35% off you'll be so happy you bought when the next arctic blast comes tumbling through and tries to sabotage your outfit. (Joke's on Jack Frost: This is only going to make it better.)
15. A The Sak sling bag for up to 42% off if you wish your handbag collection had a bit more ~variety~. This handy dandy bag can be worn in so many different ways, so no matter the vibe you're going for in your OOTD, your new sidekick wants to help!
Nordstrom
17. A pair of summer-summoning slide sandals for 49% off if you're so over the cold weather and want to get a jumpstart on perfecting your sunshine wardrobe.
Nordstrom
18. A pair of graphic sweat shorts for 50% off that will give you the perfect, comfy excuse to wear your heart on your thigh and your sleeve.

Food halls are Europe's hottest culinary trend—here are the ones you should visit
This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK). A culinary revolution is simmering in Europe. Despite the challenges of a global pandemic, the past eight years have seen the number of food halls across the continent double, completely reshaping the dining scene. Traditionally associated with the hawker centres of Southeast Asia, the trend of multiple vendors and a variety of cuisines under one roof has now reached more than 135 locations with more sites being sought every week. For the vendor, food halls provide a platform to showcase their talent without the risks associated with opening a restaurant; for the consumer, a plethora of options at a more affordable price point. Authenticity, locality and sustainability are key factors for many potential visitors, and by offering a limited but high-quality menu with thoughtfully sourced ingredients, the triumvirate is achievable. What's more, food halls have a multi-generational appeal. Communal dining offers flexibility for family outings, school friends get-togethers and budding romances. The mix of vendors allows diners to enjoy everything from fine dining dishes to street food, all shared around the same table. Never has eating out been so exciting, diverse and available. But, while excellent food remains the key attraction — with high standards being set by pioneering food halls such as Eataly in Turin — the venue itself is a close second. The neo-gothic Central Market Hall in Budapest lures thousands of visitors a year, while recesses under viaducts and railway arches like Maltby Street Market in London are equally beguiling. A historical venue located in a popular neighbourhood? It's a winning combination. And then there's everything else on offer. 'Our markets are more than just spaces; they're hubs for entrepreneurs, local brands and businesses,' explains Sandy Hayek, CEO of Time Out Market, which currently has seven venues worldwide and another eight in the pipeline, from Manama in Bahrain to Osaka in Japan. And, despite the name, food halls can be more than dining destinations — why not learn how to salsa dance after your lunch, or go to the gig downstairs to extend that great first date? Whether you're hoping for a midweek coffee and cake, or gearing up for a big night out, a food hall might just offer it all. Within the neon-lit interior, Elektrownia Powiśle Food Hall offers 17 food outlets ranging in everything from sushi to pizza, Philly sandwiches and waffles. Photograph by Dawid Jasiurkowski Boisterous and dog-friendly, the Mercato Centrale Roma channels the energy of its home city, with a focus on Roman delicacies. Photograph by Alamy, Paolo Reda Mercato Centrale Roma, Rome, Italy Whether you're catching a train or not, the selection of food and drink options at Mercato Centrale Roma — housed within the Roma Termini train station — make it a place to visit in its own right. Boisterous and dog-friendly, the venue channels the energy of its home city, with a focus on Roman delicacies. Arcangelo Dandini's Supplizio specialises solely on supplì, the lesser-known cousin of Sicily's famous arancini. Trappizino meanwhile, now famous across Rome, is a triangular pizza pocket stuffed with locally sourced Italian delights. The recipe for these cheesy slices of heaven was passed down by chef Stefano Callegari's Roman grandmother. Culture, health and inclusivity also feature high on the agenda. Interactive fashion shows celebrating people rather than models, art exhibits and health- and wellbeing-focused cookery courses are just some of the events hosted in this enormous venue. Located close to the museum of ancient Roman art at Palazzo Massimo, it's also a scenic walk down to the open-air Roman Forum or the famous Trevi Fountain. Alternatively, grab a snack here before hopping on a train — Florence is less than a 90-minute ride away, and Naples just 70. Elektrownia Powiśle Food Hall, Warsaw, Poland Having got the trendy industrial-aesthetic memo loud and clear, Elektrownia Powiśle Food Hall was built on the banks of the Vistula in 2020 during a refurb of a 1900s power station. The area was listed in the top 10 coolest districts in the world by The Guardian that year. Although it opened at the outset of a global pandemic — and consequently had to pause — the venue has become a firm favourite for Varsovians and travellers alike. Within the neon-lit interior, 17 food outlets offer everything from sushi to pizza, Philly sandwiches and waffles. The Fry prides itself on being Poland's first and best Belgian chip shop, while Dim Sum Para Para's teriyaki chicken bao buns have become legend. With three bars and weekend music events, the food hall brings top DJs from across Poland to perform. There are also weekly quiz nights, while the adjacent shopping centre is known for its independent boutiques. With its stellar location, there's also the option to work off your meal with a walking tour to learn about Warsaw's wartime history. A favourite with visitors, Manti Berlin serves mini Turkish dumplings with yoghurt and sumac. Photograph by Markthalle Neun Im Viadukt Market Hall, Zurich, Switzerland Tucked beneath the Industrial Quarter's railway arches, Im Viadukt is representative of the city: chic yet cosy, chilled during the week, yet busy on Saturdays. For a light bite, Gyoza Yokocho has authentic Japanese gyoza and healthy bowls, while more substantial options include sandwiches at St Jakob Beck & Kafi. Choose between the filled focaccia or smoked salmon pretzels, washed down with a coffee and a doughnut. Broadening its appeal, Im Viadukt has a variety of independent shops like Sibler, a stylish Bern-based apparel brand. Additionally, the arches house several gyms, with out-of-hours fitness class pop-ups. Need to entertain your children? The Josefwiese Spielplatz is just outside, complete with a cafe, fountain for paddling in summer and delightful outdoor children's library corner. While in the area, it's also worth nipping to the Kunsthalle Zurich, a contemporary art space in a converted brewery, as well as Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, a free-to-enter gallery aiming to make art more accessible. Cambridge Street Collective, Sheffield, England Last year, Time Out named Sheffield as the second-best city break destination in Europe and the UK's foodie capital. Packed with indie shops, art galleries and taprooms, Cambridge Street Collective (CSC) opened last year as a great addition to the landmark Heart of the City development project. Europe's largest purpose-built food hall, CSC is set in a 20,000sq ft industrial venue designed to celebrate the diversity of global cuisine, while the huge selection of stalls are complimented by four buzzy bars. Send Noods showcases Hong Kong staples made from scratch, while House of Habesha is a cult Eritrean and Ethiopian spot. Far more than just a food hall, however, CSC has a real community atmosphere. It has partnered with the Blend Culinary Foundation, offering free meals for children during school holidays, after-school cooking classes and even language courses. Elsewhere, events range from cookbook clubs to cooking and cocktails experiences, as well as augmented reality darts games. Markthalle Neun or 'Market Hall Nine' was rescued from a private sale by the local community a decade ago in Berlin. Photograph by Markthalle Neun Markthalle Neun, Berlin, Germany In Kreuzberg, across the River Spree from the East Side Gallery, 'Market Hall Nine' was rescued from a private sale by the local community a decade ago. It's perhaps unsurprising, then, that community spirit is intrinsic to the hall's culture. On Monday evenings, 'playdates' for all ages are organised to tackle stress and regular games nights see locals and travellers partake in monopoly, table tennis and more. The wine and beer shops offer rent-a-glass options for visitors to loosen up, while late-night markets sell everything from cured meat to clothing. Food-wise, there really is something for everyone: Wilde Wurst offers a luxury take on classic street-side currywurst, Manti Berlin serves mini Turkish dumplings with yoghurt and sumac, and Chao She cooks Beijing-style beef crepes bursting with flavour and drizzled with chilli lemon dip. Eaten your fill? Wander over to the sprawling Park an der Spree, or, if you happen to be visiting on a Sunday, the antiques Flohmarket outside Ostbahnhof station has some excellent bargains. Hietalahden Kauppahalli, Helsinki, Finland Dating back to Finland's time under the Russian tsars — though not built as a cavalry barracks as commonly believed — Hietalahden Kauppahalli has seen several transformations. Starting as a traditional market hall in 1903, it made an attempt in 2001 to sell solely organic produce before undergoing a full rebrand in 2003 as an antiques centre. In 2012, it emerged as the food hall it is today. But this is not a place to rest on its laurels — there's always something new going on. In this showcase of Finnish culture, there's no shortage of smoked fish, reindeer meat and rye bread. Yet Hietalahden Kauppahalli has a variety of international flavours, too. Filipino stall Kamalig serves a perfectly balanced pork adobo and a nutty kare kare curry. Pilo is a popular weekend brunch spot, doubling as a pizzeria and serving exceptional Italian ice cream, while Petiscaria's grilled octopus is not to be missed. The hall also hosts frequent jazz nights, where food is paired with music well into the evening. It's impossible to visit Helsinki without a serving of Moomin culture, and a 15-minute stroll will get you to the Moomin shop, or, for something a little more highbrow, the Helsinki Art Museum is also just down the road.

Beyond the beach, Antalya makes for a cultural city break
This article was produced by National Geographic Traveller (UK). Gateway to the Turkish Riviera, Antalya basks in the sunshine on the country's southern Mediterranean coast, hugging the gulf that bears its name. Modern but with a picturesque, ancient heart, the city centres around a Roman-era harbour and the lattice of cobblestone lanes that make up the old town Kaleiçi (meaning 'within the castle'), which is dotted with centuries-old mosques and restored Ottoman houses. It's here that locals pause for long mezze lunches beneath waves of fuschia bougainvillea, or sit with an ice cream to soak up the sight of the Taurus Mountains rising in the distance beyond the bay. Much like Rome, this is a city that wears its history on its sleeve, with stretches of two-thousand-year-old walls, imposing gateways and historic mansions scattered liberally throughout its core. The nearby ruins of the ancient cities of Perge and Aspendos offer a glimpse of the power that this region commanded over the centuries — Perge, in particular, was one of the most important outposts of its era — while a vast necropolis, discovered by accident during the construction of a shopping mall, lies sandwiched between modern developments. Modern but with a picturesque, ancient heart, the city centres around a Roman-era harbour and the lattice of cobblestone lanes that make up the old town Kaleiçi (meaning 'within the castle'). Photograph by Aisha Nazar The majority of travellers in search of a classic beach break tend to head to the Lara neighbourhood, to the east, where dozens of gargantuan hotels and all-inclusive resorts loom over a five-mile-long stretch of sand. You're more likely to find locals in Konyaalti, to the west, home to another great swathe of beach but backed by low-rise apartments. There are smaller, more intimate boutique hotels here, alongside rustic lokanta diners serving home-style cooking to hungry workers and traditional restaurants spilling out onto the pavements on the otherwise quiet residential streets. Predominantly, Antalya has been seen as a summertime destination, with its sizeable student population lending it a young, buzzy feel that pairs well with its breezy beachside location. But in recent years, the city has begun to attract visitors year-round, even in winter when temperatures can still brush the low 20s and more hotels are keeping their doors open. Whatever time you visit, you're practically guaranteed to find warm sunshine, clear aquamarine seas and good food — from simit, the sesame-studded take on bagels, to yoghurty Turkish eggs for breakfast and platters of grilled fish, freshly caught from the Mediterranean, for lunch. What to see and do Hadrian's Gate & the Kaleiçi: Start your exploration of Antalya's picturesque old town at second-century Hadrian's Gate, a trio of imposing arches set into the original outer walls of the city and built to celebrate the visit of Emperor Hadrian. Step through them and the modern city fades into a maze of streets flanked with historic Ottoman houses and carved wooden balconies, family-run restaurants and bars serving mezze dishes and fresh fish on mounds of ice. Some streets lead down to the Roman harbour, while others wind past minarets and ancient bakeries up to viewpoints and leafy squares that look out over the sea. Much like Rome, this is a city that wears its history on its sleeve, with stretches of two-thousand-year-old walls, imposing gateways and historic mansions scattered liberally throughout its core. Photograph by Aisha Nazar The Şehzade Korkut Mosque is an architectural gem in Kaleiçi (also known as the Kesik Minare Cami) that began life in the second century as a Roman temple — before being converted into a Byzantine church, a mosque, a church again and then back into a mosque. Photograph by Aisha Nazar Bay-hopping by gulet: Gulets — traditional wooden boats — sail from the Roman Harbour each morning, offering everything from two-hour drifts along Antalya's spectacular coastline, with a stop at the Lower Düden Waterfalls, to full-day tours. It's a scenic way to get your bearings, as well as snorkel in the quiet bays that fringe the pyramid-shaped Suluada Island, at the westernmost end of the Gulf of Antalya. Choose your boat on the day (most depart around 10.30am); lunch is usually included. Perge Ancient City: A 20-minute drive north east from Kaleiçi, first-century Perge is second only to Ephesus — Turkey's most famous ancient site, near Izmir on the Aegean coast — in terms of size and scale. Allow at least a couple of hours to explore beneath the imposing Hadrianus Arch, walk between the colonnades and stand in the middle of the vast stadium, which feels straight out of the Gladiator film set. Enough of the site has been restored to make it easy to visualise how it would have once looked — a must-visit, even if you aren't usually a history fan. Antalya Museum: Before visiting Perge, it's worth calling into the ancient city's imposing museum, home to hundreds of marble statues of Roman deities taken from the site, which give a real insight into how extraordinary the city would have been in its heyday. Alongside the statues, the 13 galleries house Byzantine mozaics, intricately carved sarcophagi and Paleolithic relics, including tools and human and animal remains. Exhibits extend into the leafy gardens, where peacocks — including a rare, all-white bird — stroll between the cafe tables. Hadrian's Gate is a trio of imposing arches set into the original outer walls of the city and built to celebrate the visit of Emperor Hadrian. Photograph by Aisha Nazar The Upper Düden Waterfalls tumble through tranquil, leafy parkland, 20 minutes' drive from the city centre. Photograph by Aisha Nazar Upper Düden Waterfalls: While the Lower Düden Waterfalls cascade directly into the sea in the Lara district, nine miles upriver the Upper Falls tumble through tranquil, leafy parkland, 20 minutes' drive from the city centre. A walkway is carved into the rockface around and behind the falls, opening out into a waterside path that leads down to a clutch of restaurants with decked terraces over the water — an idyllic spot for a mezze lunch or cold Efes beer. Şehzade Korkut Mosque: This architectural gem in Kaleiçi (also known as the Kesik Minare Cami) began life in the second century as a Roman temple — before being converted into a Byzantine church, a mosque, a church again and then back into a mosque. The space inside is unadorned, making the remnants of its past incarnations — including the Roman arched entrance and the remains of the church masonry — all the more remarkable. Like a local Promenade under the palms: Kept shady by rows of palms, the leafy Konyaalti Beach Park is sandwiched between the brilliant sea and a long road lined with apartments and places to eat. It has showers for those who take a dip, while the row of bars and restaurants — set on lawns and decked terraces between the trees — offer everything from ice-cold beer to fresh seafood. Stop by the Old Bazaar to buy saffron, aci biber (dried chilli flakes) and other spices, and small souvenirs to take home. Photograph by Aisha Nazar Turkish coffee can be enjoyed from kiosk near the Lower Düden Waterfalls. Photograph by Aisha Nazar Eat in the fish market: Located next to the Lower Düden Waterfalls, Balik Çarşisi is Antalya's modern fish market. Trestle tables packed with local families fill the cavernous space; it's noisy, rustic and alcohol-free, but the choice and freshness of the seafood is unbeatable. Browse the Bazaar: The market held every Tuesday in Konyaalti's Liman neighbourhood is a more local affair than the Old Bazaar — the city's main marketplace, north of Kaleiçi — with stalls selling fruit and veg, clothes, shoes and homewares. Pick up a gozleme (a warm flat bread filled with feta cheese or spiced potatoes) to enjoy as you browse the place. Where to go shopping Faruk Güllüoğlu: Of all the Turkish desserts, none are more famous than baklava — layers of filo pastry filled with chopped nuts and coated in a sweet syrup. A box from Faruk Güllüoğlu — Antalya's most popular bakery chain — is often taken as a gift by local people when visiting relatives. Choose from traditional pistachio, kuru baklava with its thicker syrup or cevizli, filled with cinnamon and walnuts. The Old Bazaar: Hung with jewel-hued lanterns and Ottoman-print scarves, this is the main market in the city and is located just north of Kaleiçi. Come to buy saffron, aci biber (dried chilli flakes) and other spices, and small souvenirs to take home. It's popular, so haggle hard and don't be afraid to walk away if the price doesn't suit. 07040 Muratpaşa Shaded by palm trees and popular with locals; Koori Tex in Kaleiçi is a family business specialising in cotton products. Photograph by Aisha Nazar Koori Tex: Among the Kaleiçi's endless souvenir shops, this neat, cream-walled boutique sells chic cotton scarves, muslin dressing gowns and linen dresses. All the fabrics are organic — plus, the lightweight cotton towels on sale are perfect for the beach. Where to eat Parlak: Family-run for three generations, Parlak, just off the main shopping street Kazim Özalp Caddesi, is most famous for its grilled chicken, slathered in butter and cooked over open flames. Book a table on the new outdoor terrace and begin with piyaz white bean salad and spicy, finger-shaped sis kofta meatballs and finish off with a glass or two of raki, Turkey's aniseed-flavoured spirit. Ayar Meyhanesi: On a cobbled corner of Kaleiçi, this open-air restaurant is famed for its mezze — yoghurt-rich dips, smoky aubergine salad, crispy borek (spinach and cheese pie) and filo cigarettes stuffed with feta and parsley — along with fish like turbot, grouper and sea bass, grilled and butter-soft. Live Turkish music adds to the atmosphere and it's mellow enough that you can still chat without having to shout. Antalya Balık Evi: Snag an outdoor table at this popular fish restaurant directly opposite Lara's sandy beach and dine on classic Turkish dishes with a creative twist. Among them is grilled octopus with soy and balsamic, and candied pumpkin baked with sugar and walnuts — deliciously sticky and super-sweet. Parlak is located off the main shopping street Kazim Özalp Caddesi, and is most famous for its grilled chicken, slathered in butter and cooked over open flames. Photograph by Aisha Nazar After hours Off Cocktail Bar: One of the most innovative cocktail bars in the city, Off in Lara is cool and contemporary, with a chic wood-and-rattan interior and a drinks menu encompassing sours, shots and the classics. The house originals are numbered from 1-11; the No 10 — tequila, lemon juice, chilli and grapefruit — has a particularly spicy kick. Filika Cafe Bar: A long-time favourite with locals as well as visitors, Filika morphs from chilled-out cafe by day to lively bar by night, with tables spilling onto a Kaleiçi street and regular live music. It's not the place to come for an evening of mellow jazz, but rather a fun, mixed group of people and a crowd-pleasing menu of reasonably priced cocktails. 251 Soul: Part of the Akra Hotel on Lara's long, beachy strip, 251 Soul is a rare musical find in Antalya, focusing on blues, jazz and soul seven nights a week. Dimly lit, with small, circular tables and a gleaming bar, it specialises in dry-as-a-bone martinis. There's more than a hint of speakeasy style, attracting a young, trendy crowd. Snag an outdoor table at the popular fish restaurant, Antalya Balik Evi, and dine on classic Turkish dishes with a creative twist. Photograph by Aisha Nazar The pool at Tuvana hotel is surrounded by bougainvillea and pomegranate trees. Photograph by Aisha Nazar Where to stay Tuvana: The owners of Tuvana grew up in Kaleiçi and restoring this cluster of 18th-century Ottoman houses surrounding two peaceful courtyards has been their passion project. Rooms range from small and simple, with exposed stone walls and wooden beams, to spacious suites with crisp white walls, gilt-framed mirrors and scarlet drapes. All have access to the good-sized pool and palm-shaded bar terrace, with the second courtyard home to the excellent Seraser restaurant. Ruin Adalia: Part adults-only hotel, part museum, these five Ottoman houses sit above a Roman archaeological site — the largest in Kaleiçi, with ancient walls and masonry accessed via a wooden boardwalk. Above, chic rooms with muted gold furnishings and duck-egg fabric feel cool and airy, while the pool and plant-filled terrace area is a peaceful oasis in the middle of the old town. Su Hotel: This contemporary hotel in Konyaaltı is an all-white temple to minimalism, from the extraordinary monochrome lobby to the bedrooms framed with jet-black curtains. The exception lies in the aptly named Red restaurant, which is decked top-to-toe in bright scarlet shades. There's also a world-class spa and pretty, lounger-fringed pool here, while the rooftop bar is the ideal place for sundowners come nightfall. Getting there & around: Antalya-based airline SunExpress flies direct from Gatwick, Liverpool and Birmingham to Antalya. Alternatively, airlines such as Jet2, EasyJet and British Airways fly direct to Antalya from airports across the UK. Average flight time: city's modern tram system offers a direct connection between the airport and the city centre; take the AntRay tram to the central tram station, from where it's a short taxi ride to further points in the city. Antalya is a big city — from Lara to Konyaalti or Kaleiçi can take up to 40 minutes — so it's a good idea to download the AntalyaKart Mobil transportation app to make use of the excellent bus service. Buses can be paid for by contactless payment or via an AntalyaKart card (available from vending machines at stations), which can be topped up. Taxis are also plentiful; always make sure the meter is set and running when you begin your journey to ensure a fair price. When to go: Antalya gets very hot and busy in June, July and August, the peak summer months, when temperatures can top 40C. The shoulder seasons — May to June and September to October — are more manageable, with the mercury rarely dipping below 25C and fewer crowds. Increasingly, Antalya is becoming known as a winter sun destination, with November and February to March still seeing temperatures in the low to mid 20s. December and January can still be pleasant, although there is more likelihood of rain.
