Birkenstock has been showing the Zermatt a great deal of love as of late, transforming the once-winterized mule into a luxe slip-on in its own right Clog hype has continued even with the Birkenstock Boston's big year in the rearview Fashion imprints and sportswear companies are still crankin' out backless shoes with aplomb as what was once considered to be a COVID-19 pandemic-driven business has become de rigueur for folks acclimated to daily comfort Birkenstock1 / 3Currently available on Birkenstock's website for $150 the Lutry clog ain't likely to go quite as viral as the Boston simply because that was a once-in-a-decade hype phenomenon Your Highsnobiety privacy settings have blocked this Instagram post.Enable All MediaManage consentPrivacy policyDoesn't mean that anyone's gonna complain about some excellent new closed-toe Birks, though.

Pulling out the Birkenstocks— a tried and true autumnal staple. Some would say it is the quintessential fall shoe (me But if you're anything like me and have worn them into the literal ground Thankfully, DSW has all of the current Birkenstock styles we're obsessed with right now, from boots to our beloved clogs because it's time to upgrade your Birks this season Keep scrolling to see all of my faves you definitely wanna grab ahead of the incoming cozy months IMO these are the autumnal shoe — people can't get enough of them! I've worn mine so much that they're barely wearable anymore, so I'm definitely going to restock of these shoes, because they're consistently a comfy staple for me. Whether I'm wearing sweatpants or a button down and boyfriend jeans I love that these shoes are a bit of a departure from the classic Boston clogs we're used to seeing from Birkenstock I'm obsessed with the look of these — they're so luxe and will definitely pair well with so many different outfit combos A good pair of Birkenstock sandals are an essential for me when running errands They're a great transitional piece for those of us in climates like LA where it's still 110 degrees :/ Climate-agnostic these are the perfect shoes to throw on in a rush but it's also very cozy and comfortable These shoes will have you feeling like you're walking on soft Another shearling pair, because I simply can't get enough! I mean, can't you just picture these on an autumn, chilly night with a pair of leggings, an oversized sweater, and socks? It's the ultimate fall look — you can't convince me otherwise Okay, hear me out. These scream high-end luxury minimalism (à la the Olsen twins) to me. They seem so sleek and chic, and would look killer styled with black boyfriend jeansand a cashmere knit This is the kind of everyday outfit that I'm always reaching for in my wardrobe So don't mind me adding these slippers to cart immediately.. While boots are a staple for me in the fall as well, it's important to make sure you have a low heel, comfortable option while you're at it. Some days I just can not be bothered with putting on a pair of heeledboots and these are ideal on those fall days where you just want to be comfy I can totally picture walking around all the fall foliage in these Did you know that Birkenstock actually carries sneakers as well Not only are they super minimalistic and simple you can get all those steps in on your fall walks with these cuties These are another fave, because I think they're nailing the more "androgynous" or "masculine" shoe trend that's happening for fall. This trend is where you take an otherwise more feminine outfit like a dress or flowy top This pair will totally help you nail that trend If you want to divert a bit from the ever-popular Bostons in suede, then these could be a great — and different — alternative for you this fall season. I'm actually thinking of trying these out to switch things up a bit in my closet this year. I'm obsessed with the brown, vintage-looking leather, and think they would look so good with a matching brown leather belt, jeans Subscribe to our newsletter for more fall fashion picks Brit + Co may at times use affiliate links to promote products sold by others but always offers genuine editorial recommendations Header image via Emma Masur 30/03/2015 By On 23 March 2015 a tradesman discovered the bloody body of a 46 year-old women in a first floor apartment at Grand Rue in Lutry a picturesque village on the shores of Lake Geneva in the canton of Vaud An Irishman of 49 later admitted to the murder of his wife who he stabbed around 50 times after an argument He then tried to kill himself and required hospitalization before he could be questioned The Vaud prosecutor demanded that the Irishman be held in custody while investigations continue to establish the exact circumstances and events surrounding the murder Filed Under: Non classé Tagged With: , , By subscribing you are agreeing to our Privacy Policy Previous Newsletters Copyright © Le News Sàrl 2014-2022 / Company number: CH-550.1.129.786-5 / VAT number: CHE-193.843.357 TVA By subscribing you agree to our Privacy Policy Plasteurope.com is a business information platform for the European plastics industry It is part of KI Kunststoff Information and PIE Plastics Information Europe one of the leading content providers for the European plastics industry We offer daily updated business news and reports polymer prices and other services for the international plastics industry News | Polymer Prices | Suppliers Guide | Jobs | Register | Advertising The membership of the umbrella association for banks in Switzerland continues to grow.

There will be a colossal arena built in Vevey’s historic market square, which can seat 20,000 spectators, the equivalent of The O2 in London. All will be overseen by the Confrérie des Vignerons In the Middle Ages and up until the 19th century the vineyards in Lavaux and Chablais were owned by the bourgeoisie and the Bernois authorities during their occupation (1536-1798) They did not work their own land but hired vigneron-tâcherons (wine-growers) to manage their vineyards for them Since the landowners could not be on site all of the time an organisation was created that oversaw the work: the Confrérie des Vignerons This is still the main role of the Confrérie today the Confrérie realised that better work was achieved when skilled wine-growers were rewarded this celebration was fairly low-key but over time the proceedings grew into something far more elaborate and the Fête des Vignerons was born Gaps between celebrations varied between 14-32 years the gap between Fêtes ranges from 20-25 years with the date – always an odd-numbered year – decided by the council members of the Confrérie des Vignerons • Fête des Vignerons 2019 will take place from 18 July to 11 August 2019 Some tickets will be available to buy on the day • Demand for hotels in Vevey will be high, but there are many options. The town is well placed on the Swiss rail system Driving is not recommended due to limited parking • For details and to buy tickets, visit www.fetedesvignerons.ch.

Today, the organization occupies a rather swanky lakeshore building at Vidy – and while tourists can’t go inside, they can go down the road to the Olympic Museum in Ouchy all-dancing homage to the Games demonstrating the pride with which Lausanne celebrates its identity as the “Olympic Capital.” Sports fans will love the permanent collection, which delves into the history of the Games and the values they aim to promote. You’ll see programs, medals, flags, torches, clothing and equipment dating back more than a century; watch videos of opening ceremonies and memorable moments; and explore the meaning of the Olympic spirit through interactive, audiovisual exhibits. The TOM Café is a good spot for a coffee with a view over the lake with its running track and sculptures depicting Olympic sports The first thing you’ll notice about Lausanne is that it’s hilly. The Romans first established the village of Lousanna on the shore of Lake Geneva (le Léman a fortified camp on a hill some 500m (1640ft) above the lake became the town’s main population center in the Middle Ages Contemporary Lausanne occupies both areas and the zones in between And you can see it all by taking a leisurely downhill stroll Local tip: Pick up a sandwich, panini or sweet treat at Ässbar on Rue du Petit Chêne (you can snag yesterday’s bakery leftovers at a reduced price), and head to Parc de Milan for a picnic Art brut – literally “raw art” – refers to art made by self-taught artists, often on the fringes of society, who eschew artistic traditions or influences. The concept is associated with French artist Jean Dubuffet, who gifted his entire collection of such art to the city of Lausanne in the 1970s – on view today at the Collection de l’Art Brut the museum regularly stages temporary exhibitions focusing on a single artist or theme Come with an open mind – and prepare to see artworks born from a singular view of life Planning tip: The entry ticket is valid for three days and gives you admission to two other museums as well: the Musée Historique Lausanne near the cathedral and the Musée Roman de Lausanne-Vidy If you didn’t know Switzerland was a wine-producing country, you’re in for a delightful surprise. The vineyards of the Lavaux, strung across the slopes above Lake Geneva between Lausanne and Montreux, date from the 12th century and are inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List for their economic and cultural importance to the area Explore them on foot or bicycle by taking a regional train to your chosen starting point. The 11km (7-mile) stretch between the villages of Lutry and St-Saphorin makes a wonderful day hike. Undulating trails wind through the vines, with a fabulous view across the lake and to the French Alps beyond pint-sized villages where wine cellars offer dégustations (tastings); you may even find a stall set up right in the vineyards Planning tip: While the Lavaux is beautiful at any time of year the vines look their finest in summer and fall There’s little in the way of shade along the paths and the sun can be strong Lausanne comes alive on Saturday mornings, when the market lands in town fresh ginger juice and much more on the stalls lining the streets of the Vielle Ville (Old Town) While you’ll have a lovely morning even if you’re not buying anything at least consider sampling a salée (a cheese tart) from the bakery stall in Place de la Riponne – there’s usually a line A downsized market is also held on Wednesday mornings while a flea market occupies Riponne on Thursdays Detour: If you’re in Sauvabelin, it’s a short downhill walk to the Fondation de l’Hermitage which stages brilliant temporary exhibitions focusing on renowned Swiss or international artists sun-soaked terrace that’s a big draw on sunny days While it’s a landlocked country, Switzerland’s numerous lakes mean there’s no shortage of beach life here. On summer weekends, Lausanne’s city center empties out as everyone heads either to the mountains or the lake. The sandy beach in Vidy is hugely popular for sunbathing and you’ll often see large family groups set up for the day with tables and chairs The grassy lakeside at Lutry is a slightly calmer choice and a good spot to hire a SUP and take to the water Detour: Lakeshore walks in either direction are just lovely. From Vidy, head toward Ouchy and you’ll pass several summer pop-up bars, including the hugely popular Jetée de la Compagnie. From Ouchy, continue toward Pully where there’s another pop-up bar, La Générale minimalist space in which to show off its collections while the nearby railway arches house cafes and artisanal boutiques Planning tip: If you’re visiting in September, look out for the night of the museums when most cultural attractions in the city are open into the small hours for one night only and you’ll get access to every participating institution Local tip: If hot chocolate is more your bag, head to Le Barbare a Lausanne institution on the market steps below the cathedral with regular ferries to Évian-les-Bains and Thonon-les-Bains as well as the flower-strewn medieval French village of Yvoire Planning tip: You can buy tickets online in advance, or at the booth at Ouchy port on the day of travel. Transport passes such as the Swiss Travel Pass and Day Pass are also valid on the ferries. 01/09/2017 By According to data from comparis.ch Switzerland’s most expensive apartments are found in Zurich One square metre will cost you CHF 12,250 (US$ 13,000) in Zurich CHF 11,500 in Maloja and CHF 11,250 in Lavaux-Oron Lavaux-Oron contains posh parts of Greater Lausanne and the UNESCO-listed wine terraces of Lavaux on the shore of Lake Geneva where one square metre costs over CHF 9,500 The cheapest apartments are found in Rarogne in Valais (CHF 2,750 per square metre) La Chaux-de-Fonds and Locle (CHF 3,250 per square metre) A house in these locations with 5.5 to 6.5 rooms costs a minimum of CHF 2 million  If you’re looking for a cheap house the best bet is Porrentruy in Jura (CHF 350,000) in Ticino (CHF 400,000) or Rarogne in Valais (CHF 500,000) Number crunchers at the university EPFZ took data from 1,611,000 property advertisements from 2005 until 2017 The prices are based on listed prices rather than final transaction prices Increases in apartment and house prices by region can be seen here For more stories like this on Switzerland follow us on Facebook and Twitter Filed Under: Property Tagged With: 20/02/2015 By Ice skating season is not over yet so get your skates on Here is a guide to the ice-skating rinks in Vaud and Geneva Entrance prices vary and all rinks have skates that you can hire The links below will all take you to the relevant website for prices The ice skating season generally follows the ski season and starts in November or December and runs until some time in March (Lac de Joux however has a shorter season) It is something everyone can do (if you don’t mind a bit of sliding around on your bottom) and is a lot less hassle and expense than a day of skiing We have found 18 rinks below in the cantons of Geneva and Vaud used two different blades to stab his wife repeatedly AN Irishman has been jailed for life for stabbing his Kazakh wife over 60 times to stop her finding out about a probe into child sex offences wept as he was sentenced by a Swiss court after admitting the unprovoked killing of Galina Shevchenko at their apartment on March 23 His trial heard she was on her way to the local police station in Lutry after being asked to attend an interview — but did not know what the investigation was about Ringwood, originally from Enniscorthy in Co Wexford, emailed cops pretending to be his wife saying she could not come because she was ill. As she was about to leave, he asked her not to go but she insisted as she had to make a presentation for her job at tobacco giant Philip Morris anyway. Her husband then pulled a knife with an 11cm blade from his bathrobe and stabbed her in the back. She begged him to stop but the court heard Ringwood punched her and stabbed her around 30 times before going for an 18cm knife and stabbing her 30 times more. He said: “I wanted to make sure she was dead.” Ringwood then ran a bath and took an overdose but his life was saved after a maintenance worker noticed the flooding coming from the apartment.
