Pair them with some white lace-up sneakers for the kind of look that will ~definitely~ get you into The Breakfast Club. This style is MEGA popular right now, but don't be fooled into paying designer prices when Target has them ready to go in a cheap three-pack!Promising review: "I think these socks are great. I don't like thick socks, so they are perfect for me. They do run a little big in the foot for me, but not at all a deal breaker for what ends up being less than $3 per pair. They also stay up nicely." —MplsMamaPrice: $10 for a pack of three (available in two color sets and fits women's shoe sizes 4–10) A set of three Rifle Paper Co. magnetic bookmarks so you always know where you left off in your TBR in the prettiest, floral-iest way possible.

I'm going to buy some for myself!" —StephaniePrice: $4.99 A set of JLab wireless Bluetooth earbuds because if you are constantly losing, washing, or otherwise mismanaging your expensive brand pair, these are the ticket. Reviewers SWEAR BY them for durability and sound quality. (Just check out that 4.3-star rating with over 6,000 reviews.) Sometimes the fanciest thing you can do for yourself is get the affordable version so you don't have to stress about them taking an accidental bath in the washing machine, you know?Promising review: "I bought these in December, and they are still charging, and still sound good after going through the washer TWICE. I thought I would need a new pair but after drying them and charging they are working fine. There might be a slight difference in quality, but nothing too noticeable based on what I use them for. If I need a new pair of earbuds in the future, I will definitely buy these again. 💯" —SalamiPrice: $19.99 (originally $24.99, available in eight colors) A gingham swim coverup skirt for all those poolside days still ahead! If you're tired of using the towel-wrap method, give yourself the gift of a swim wardrobe upgrade and get ready to strut by the "no diving" sign like the world is your runway. Price: $17 (originally $20, available in sizes XS–XL) A stainless-steel teapot if you love a spot of tea to unwind during self-care time. Pair it with a Celestial Seasonings fruit tea sampler, and you've got yourself the fanciest of summer pastimes. Promising review: "Adorable tea kettle! We use this for hot chocolate all of the time. The stoneware on the bottom is nice, too. It looks great out on the stove all of the time." —MomofmanyPrice: $24.99 A washable knit ballet flat so you can have brand-new out-of-the-box shoes whenever you'd like, because these can be chucked in the wash to be made new again. Talk about fancy! Promising review: "I have the knit washable flats in black and I LOVE them, and wear them to work all of the time. They are more comfortable than the much more expensive designer version in my opinion. I will definitely get more colors once they are available. This is a great fit, and value." —FAPrice: $19.99 (available in sizes 5–11 and in five colors) A matted frame because we might be in the digital age, but who doesn't love seeing a physical photo framed on their wall? Look, if the royals can have large painted portraits lining their hallways, you can have a couple of frames of your fave selfies. Promising review: "Very cute and loved that the circle added something different to my gallery wall. Good quality. Definitely thicker than your standard photo frame." —JosiPrice: $12 A three-piece luxe glass bath bundle so you and your guests can feel like royalty when going to wash your hands. With gold-dipped bases and the wavy textures, these will make your fav Mrs. Meyer's hand soap look extra fancy. Promising review: "I was surprised when I received, very good quality for the price. It's beautiful." —ChicPrice: $30 A French terry pencil skirt that strikes the perfect balance between luxe and casual, ensuring you can wear this baby everywhere from brunch to doctor appointments and not look out of place. Promising review: "Soft material, very comfy. Wore it to work and got a compliment from coworker right away. This will be a summer staple." —LMSPrice: $25 (available in sizes XS–4X and three colors) And finally, a cheerful coir-blend doormat that'll catch any dirt stuck to your shoes and give your delivery drivers a friendly salutation when they leave packages on your doorstep.

I have a similar one to this that I bought 2+ years ago and it's still going strong. For $13, especially, it's an absolute win. It also fits the doorway (any standard door) legit perfectly. I'm very pleased. Would definitely recommend." —Lauren Price: $13

Country Club Plaza joins list of property owners appealing 2025 valuation
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Country Club Plaza is joining a growing list of commercial property owners appealing Jackson County's property valuations, according to a report Tuesday from the Kansas City Business Journal. Monday was the deadline to appeal the 2025 Jackson County property tax assessments. Jackson County, Kansas City election boards sue Frank White over legality of special recall election On that list is The Village Collection, the Plaza's ownership group.

According to a Kansas City Business Journal report, the Plaza is seeking a valuation 45% lower at $111.5 million. The Plaza has worked through valuation differences before. This past October, the Missouri State Tax Commission lowered the 2021 valuation by $113 million. View the latest headlines from Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas at Just a couple of months before that, the Jackson County Board of Equalization approved a reduction of the 2023 valuation by a little more than $200 million.

How the famous Oasis-Blur chart war became a West End play
But given the Irvine-born author's first life was as a music industry professional in the 1990s, the subject we alight on before too long is not fathers but brothers – two in particular, proudly Mancunian and currently enjoying the full glare of the media spotlight as their epic reunion tour hits the UK's stadiums. Yes, it's Oasis. Niven first encountered the band supporting St Etienne at the Plaza in Glasgow in December 1993, seven months after their historic appearance at King Tut's Wah Wah Hut. At first he didn't see what the fuss was about. 'But then I saw them again a few months later and it was like: 'Oh wow! Okay I get this now. Then I saw them at Glastonbury in the summer of 1994 and I was at Maine Road.' That was the iconic 1996 show at the old home of the Gallaghers' beloved Manchester City FC. 'So I was there for a few of the pivotal moments. They were a very powerful rock and roll group in their time and by all accounts they still are.' As for the why, it's all down to the power of the frontman. 'Liam, even to kids who are 16 or 17 now, is a stone cold legend gangster. He just has this superpower aura of invincibility. He's just the coolest guy.' But Niven has skin in the Oasis reunion tour in more ways than one. As luck would have it, he has just completed a play called The Battle which tells the story of the race to number one between Oasis and Blur in the summer of 1995. 'I started writing it before the Oasis reformation, so I was just stunned when it was announced,' he laughs. Read more from Barry Didcock: The Battle opens at Birmingham Rep in February before transferring to the West End and stars Gavin And Stacey's Matthew Horne as the music industry executive masterminding the hype war. But Niven says he originally turned down the approach from producer Simon Friend. 'I thought he wanted Britpop! The Musical and I said: 'It's not really what I do.' But then, as I thought about it, I thought there might be a really funny sort of David Mamet-type play about men screaming at each other in rooms. About something that, when we pull the lens back a little, is just ridiculous – which record's number one. Who cares? But it was such an interesting cultural time to shine the light back on because you forget the centrality of pop records to the culture, that it went from the pages of the NME to the 10 O'Clock News. The whole country up to the age of about 35 was very invested in this story. It's difficult to imagine pop music with that level of centrality today.' As for Oasis themselves, he has some words of caution, however. 'I often think with band reformations it's a bit like Samuel Johnson's words on second marriages – a triumph of hope over experience. So we'll see if they make it to the end of the dates.' The play's the thing Like an angry piranha the ongoing catastrophe in Gaza and the Occupied West Bank is already nibbling at the tender bits of the upcoming Edinburgh Festival. So where transgender and environmental issues have dominated the debate in previous years it seems likely the shouting and complaining and protesting in 2025 will have a hard geopolitical focus. The noise is unavoidable, but it's to be hoped it doesn't obscure the main business of the world's largest arts festival – to present work which addresses issues like this in a considered fashion. One well-regarded play on the subject of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians is My Name Is Rachel Corrie, based on the diaries of the American activist killed by the Israeli army in Rafah in the Gaza Strip in 2003. The play was co-created two decades ago by Alan Rickman and journalist Katharine Viner, now editor of The Guardian. Rickman also directed the first staging, at London's prestigious Royal Court Theatre in 2005. Two decades, little has changed. The play is still stingingly fresh. Sascha Shinder in My Name Is Rachel Corrie (Image: Tom Miller) With that in mind I had been wondering if we would see a revival this year. We are. Zoo Southside is the venue, the play runs for the full month of the festival and stars Sascha Shinder in a production by award-winning Scottish theatre director Susan Worsfold. 'Like many British Jews, I grew up with a narrow, emotionally-charged view of Israel as a place of safety and identity,' says Shinder. 'Over time, I found myself caught between Leftist friends condemning Israel and family defending it. After October 7th, I was flooded with emotion but felt uninformed. I needed to understand more. When I found My Name Is Rachel Corrie, it felt like a lightning bolt. Rachel gave voice to questions and feelings I couldn't articulate. Her journey – from privileged idealism to confronting brutal reality – mirrored my own in many ways. Her humanity, her refusal to see the world in binaries, deeply moved me.' Difficult thing to do, step away from binaries. But history suggests it's ultimately the only way through. And finally The Herald's theatre critic Neil Cooper is out and about and recently visited Theatre 118 in Glasgow's Merchant City to take in two shows. The first was Fools On A Hill, a new work about (possibly misplaced) religious belief by Chris Patrick. The second was Madonna/Whore, another new play – this one by Julie Calderwood – and set in a maximum-security prison. Toxic masculinity and the abuse of women is the sobering subject of that one. Neil also took in The Tommy Burns Story at the King's Theatre, Glasgow. Elsewhere Gayle Anderson watched broadcaster, clergyman and former keyboard player with The Communards Richard Coles turn raconteur at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh. 'Memories of Jimmy Somerville hit the mark,' says Gayle. 'Who knew the wee man was such a big fan of French enamel cookware?' And of course there was the small matter of TRNSMT at the weekend and before that an appearance by yon Irish rap trio who have been in the news a lot recently. The Herald's Jody Harrison and Marissa MacWhirter were in attendance at Glasgow Green for headline appearances by Fontaines DC, Wet Leg and The Script while Teddy Jamieson was getting his Brits out at the Kneecap gig.
