    在經歷幾週的忙碌後,我終於在英格蘭里維耶拉(English Riviera)——準確地說,是托基(Torquay)——慢下了腳步。原本只是個充滿燒烤香氣與海風吹拂的健康週末,不料卻在一陣海風吹來時,改變了路線,意外走進了一間無名的碼頭邊小店。店內宛如發現寶藏,滿滿的工裝褲——長的、短的、寬鬆的、運動時尚款,幾乎每一種風格都有。不幸的是,這家店只收現金。我雖然兩手空空地走了出來,但心裡卻滿載而歸,因為現在到處都能看到工裝褲的身影。 無論你是穿著一條紅色寬版工裝褲,散發著90年代珍妮佛安妮斯頓(Jennifer Aniston)的隨性風格,還是以單色系詮釋 Y2K經典,打造出更貼近Phoebe Philo美學的造型,工裝褲都是當下毫不費力的穿搭聖品:舒適、實用又時髦。它們既比牛仔褲來得不拘束,又比舊運動褲更有型。這條低調的褲款如今也獲得Charli XCX的認可,畢竟說實話,誰還想穿著緊身牛仔褲去跳舞呢? 黑色寬版工裝褲 好吧,一提到極簡單色風,你可能不會立刻聯想到工裝褲,但全黑工裝造型正是將暗黑歌德女孩風與實用主義完美結合的夏日穿搭。 迷彩工裝褲...

    Vuelve la fiebre por los pantalones cargo: así los llevaremos este veranocon estos looks Después de unas semanas muy ajetreadas, lo que empezó como un sano fin de semana en la Riviera inglesa de barbacoas y paseos por la costa pronto se convirtió en una repentina fiebre consumista cuando una ráfaga de brisa marina nos arrastró a una tiendecita junto al muelle. Resultó ser una mina de pantalones cargo –largos, cortos, oversize, deportivos, chic…–, con modelos para todos los gustos y estilos.

    Despite recent changes in funding for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Quad-Cities metro school districts are hosting free summer meal sites for their low-income students and families. Several Quad-Cities school districts offer summer meals and snack sites for youth up to age 18, regardless of income-level or school district boundary, through the federal Summer Meals for Kids program. These programs requires meals to be eaten on-site, whereas others offer to-go meal options.

    Many Quad-Cities students kicked off summer break this week. And while they deserve some rest, relaxation and a safe level of UV rays, it's also important to avoid the "summer slide." This refers to the learning loss some students experience over the summer, disproportionally affecting lower-income children.

    I found a goldmine of cargo pants inside an an unnamed, pier-side boutique in Torquay. What began as a wholesome weekend of BBQs and windswept coastal walks soon turned into an impromptu shopping spree, as a gust of sea breeze nudged us off the path and into the boutique. Inside, we found cargo pants for every personality. – long, short, oversized, sporty-chic. Unfortunately, the shop took only cash. I walked out empty-handed but not empty-hearted, because cargo pants are everywhere right now.
