En Attendan Bojangles Film Review

It’s not often that a French film comes along as moving as the romantic drama En Attendant Bojangles (2022), or “Waiting For Bojangles” in English, directed by Régis Roinsard.

As a longtime fan of French movies and 1960s culture, I couldn’t wait to see this film. 

This film was adapted from the French best-selling novel of the same name, written by first-time author Olivier Bourdeaut, and released in 2016. The book was an instant hit with the French, and I saw it recommended on several occasions since I moved to France in 2019. 

During my Christmas vacation this past December, I finally had the chance to read the book and quickly understood why so many people fell in love with the protagonists.

Set in Paris in 1967, En Attendant Bojangles tells the story of a French couple who personify the French joie de vivre and spend their lives telling stories,

Pick up an espresso and join along for a day of touring the best permanent exhibit, renowned shops and antique and vintage jewelry in the eternal city. You have to sleep and eat and we suggest places for those as well. Let’s start the journey…

Staying in central Rome can cost a small fortune and eat into any funds you have set aside for purchasing a piece of jewelry—there are beautiful hotels but I recommend staying at Roman Holiday Residenza, a super host on all of the Airbnb sites. And yes, it is named after the beloved classic and iconic movie. The price is right and the location is perfect, situated between Piazza Navona and Campo Fiori. It’s a respite of a sleek, ultra-modern,

Ultra-fast fashion giant Shein is launching a resale, despite criticism that circularity can’t fix a business model reliant upon exploitation and overproduction.

Shein Exchange launched on Monday, 17 October, in the US, with plans to expand to other global markets next year. The platform was created in partnership with branded resale technology platform Treet. The app pre-populates customers’ previous purchases to streamline the resale process.

Shein is upfront about its motivations to get into resale — its goal is to bring any secondhand Shein sales that may happen on other platforms back into its ecosystem. In an announcement, Shein said it will not be making any profits from the platform but “acknowledges that resale threatens to cannibalise the sale of new items” and “wants to provide a destination for Shein customers to become active participants in circularity and find new

With an unattractive exterior and yet surprisingly attractive items sold inside, secondhand clothing stores have been gaining popularity among Israelis, especially in recent years as the costs of living continues to rise higher and higher.

According to Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics, the inflation rate in the country hit 5.2 percent in July, the highest since October 2008, before falling back to 4.6 percent in September. Meanwhile, the COVID-19 pandemic has also forced many to cut spending.

In the light of the affordability issue, shoppers are now naturally drawn to used apparel, shoes, bags, and accessories that are usually priced at half or even less that of new design items.

In a secondhand shop in Jerusalem, for instance, prices for women’s tops vary from between 20 to 80 shekels ($5.6 to 22.5), depending on condition, while new clothes in similar styles tend to

We’re big fans of the matching-set look, and the elevated version of the matching set is the suit. We love a blazer-and-trouser combination, but this fall, we’re ready to take it up a notch with the three-piece suit, which is essentially a matching blazer, trouser, and vest. The suit vest is a great piece to wear on its own, but as a trio, they’re practically unstoppable, and these are our seven favorite looks.

From a cool, sexy, satin suit that’s perfect for a night out to a unique dark-green suit, a fun pink style, and a metallic suit that will certainly turn heads, these are the three-piece styles we’re crushing on right now. We
