Every Outfit I Wore in April – Julia Berolzheimer

Emporio Sirenuse Dress, JB x Margaux Sandals, Irene Neuwirth Earrings

April leaned fully into the season almost from the first day. A few getaways set the tone early on, with raffia bags, bucket hats, fluid dresses, and easy sandals, and those resort pieces kept finding their way into my everyday looks back home. Denim showed up in unexpected ways, paired with simple tees and flats, while one very special evenings asked for something else entirely, in a buttery yellow and embroidered gown with a sculptural earrings and crystal pavé bag. Color and print stayed at the center throughout, only lighter underneath and more open to the air. By the final week my Daily Looks felt closer to early summer than spring, and what was left in rotation felt exactly right for where we’re heading next.

F1’s new changes will lead to a more consistent car for the drivers, says former champion Jenson Button <div id="content-body-70929475" itemprop="articleBody"><p>Formula One champion Jenson Button backed the FIA and F1’s recent decision to make tweaks to the new regulations ahead of this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix.</p><p>F1 introduced new hybrid power units for 2026, with 50% of the power coming from electric power as part of its push towards sustainability. However, the new cars have come under intense criticism from drivers who have bemoaned that they are too complex and not fun to drive.</p><p>“It always takes a little bit of time to fine-tune new regulations. You need to see how it plays out first on track to understand what works and what doesn’t. I think the changes we have here will lead to a more consistent car for the drivers. They’ll have a better understanding of what it’s doing. I think they’ll be much happier,” said Button, the 2009 world champion.</p><p>“We want drivers to be out there having fun and enjoying themselves when they’re racing. So it plays a big part in it because when they get out of the car, and they’re unhappy, it doesn’t look great. So yes, I think fine-tuning was necessary,” he added.</p><p>Following the cancellations of the Bahrain and Saudi Arabian GPs, the teams have had a five-week break since the previous round in Japan. Button feels this gap in the calendar would have given teams valuable time to assess things and expects the field to bunch up in Miami.</p><p>“I think we will see the field a bit closer this weekend, especially the top teams. Mercedes, I think, still has a bit of an advantage. But if they slip up, McLaren and Ferrari will be there waiting. This is quite a fun weekend because we have a sprint race. And the Ferraris are very good off the line. So if they get into the lead, it’s going to be difficult to overtake them. I think the F1 break will be positive for racing here in Miami,” the former McLaren driver remarked.</p><p>Commenting on the drivers’ championship battle between Mercedes teammates Andrea Kimi Antonelli and George Russell, Button reckoned that whoever gets on top this weekend could have an advantage.</p><p>“George, he has been very unlucky on a couple of occasions. In qualifying in Shanghai, he had an issue. So he only got out for one lap right at the end. And then in Japan, he obviously got hurt by the safety car. There was a good chance he was going to fight for victory or at least second in that race in front of his teammate.</p><p><b>ALSO READ | <a href="https://sportstar.thehindu.com/motorsport/f1/f1-drivers-welcome-engine-rule-changes-say-more-change-needed-reactions-miami-gp/article70927457.ece" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">F1 drivers welcome rule tweaks, but say more change needed</a> </b></p><p>“I think he’s probably a little bit frustrated knowing that he’s had the pace to win all three races. But he’s a very confident individual. So I’m sure he believes in himself that he can fight for this world championship.</p><p>For Kimi, it’s obviously very different. He’s still so young in this sport. You’ve got to take every moment you can to win races. Even if you get a bit lucky, it doesn’t matter. He was there to pick up the pieces, and he got the job done. So it’s a really exciting battle.”</p><p>“I’m really looking forward to it. I think it’s interesting here in Miami because Kimi was really fast last year. So it’s going to be a tough fight for both of them this weekend. It’s an important weekend. We’re back from a big break. And whoever gets down to the top step of the podium has bragging rights. It gives them a lot more confidence,” said Button.</p><p class="publish-time" id="end-of-article">Published on May 01, 2026</p></div> #F1s #lead #consistent #car #drivers #champion #Jenson #Button

The Dallas Stars have major soul-searching to do after their NHL Playoff exit <div id="zephr-anchor"><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">To call the 2025-26 Dallas Stars season a disappointment would be one of the biggest understatements in hockey after their crushing opening round loss to the Wild on Thursday night. It’s left the team needing to make critical decisions this offseason which will decide whether or not Dallas can remain a contender, or takes a significant step backwards in the future.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">So, what exactly went wrong with the Stars this season? Everything on paper pointed to this being a Stanley Cup caliber team, likely to compete with the Colorado Avalanche for the best in the West — and during the regular season they did for the most part, but as the playoffs commenced we saw the holes in the lineup open up, holes which aren’t easy to patch.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">The trade for Mikko Rantanen made all the sense in the world last year, with the high-scoring Finn appearing to be the superstar forward they needed. Adding Rantanen to one of the highest-scoring teams in hockey should have been a boon — but the deal hasn’t really worked out.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">The problem hasn’t been Rantanen (though he’s understandably the scapegoat), and more <em>how</em> Rantanen is playing inside the Stars system. The issue is that he’s no longer the elite goal scorer he was in Colorado without Nathan McKinnon’s puck distribution in the middle, which has forced him into being a passer from the wing. Rantanen doesn’t have a place on the top line with Wyatt Johnson being a puck-dominant center, and Jason Robertson being the go-to finisher. Throwing him on the second line hasn’t worked either, with Matt Duchene being hurt, and regressing in significant ways this past season.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">This is even more problematic in looking at what the Stars gave up in the Rantanen deal. Logan Stankoven was more or less the throw in prospect to get the deal done, and he’s emerged as the Carolina Hurricanes’ key second-line center — exactly what the Stars need now.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">We have a team that is dangerously top-line heavy. All the success Dallas had in the regular season was due to that front pairing of Johnson and Robertson to do the heavy lifting, with Miro Heiskanen quarterbacking things from the blue line, but the Wild were able to drag the lines deep and beat the Stars with depth.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">This brings us to the toughest decision the team has to make: Jason Robertson.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">The Stars are not in a good place when it comes to the salary cap. The team is projected to have $11.1M in space for the upcoming season, with a three key players set to hit the market.</p></div><div class="duet--article--block-placement jgpyd51 jgpyd50 duet--article--article-body-component"><ul class="duet--article--unordered-list _1nfb3k4i feuejx0 ls9zuh1"><li class="feuejx1"><span class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup">LW Jason Robertson (RFA)</span></li><li class="feuejx1"><span class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup">C Mavrik Bourque (RFA)</span></li><li class="feuejx1"><span class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup">LW Jamie Benn (UFA)</span></li></ul></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">It’s here the soul-searching begins, because they have to make an impossible choice. Jamie Benn is likely gone, which is fine, but the Robertson/Bourque decision is brutal. They currently do not have the money to meet the rumored salary demands of Robertson, who reportedly is looking for north of the $12M AAV that Mikko Rantanen is making — which is fair coming off a 96-point season.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Bourque is also due a significant pay raise, and could be a real risk of being poached in free agency.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">The logical decision is to let Robertson walk and re-sign Bourque. Robertson isn’t a play-driver, he’s not strong on the forecheck, and his defensive contributions are resigned to stick play. The issue in applying this logic is that it’s impossible to imagine a scenario where the Stars are better without Robertson, because he is their best scorer.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">It would likely necessitate moving Rantanen back to the top line, but it’s already been established that he’s not great with Johnson at center. It’s all a bit of a mess. The team might <em>have</em> to pray that Tyler Seguin retires to open the space to retain Robertson, which then means likely losing Bourque.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p><h4 class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup">Overpaying mediocrity in goal</h4></p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">The other huge part of the Stars problems is Jake Oettinger, who was their key free agent from a year ago. Dallas decided to retain Oettinger and make him one of the five highest-paid goaltenders in hockey, and he was not good this season at all.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">Oettinger finished the season at 0.899 SV%, with 2.59 GA — alarmingly, he also only had 31 quality starts in 54 games, barely above the league-average on the season. It’s just not good enough for a top-five paid player at his position.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">There isn’t anything the Stars can do with Oettinger but pray he returns to form. The free agent contract is haunting them, and he’s inked for SEVEN more seasons.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p><h4 class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup">What can the Stars even be in 2026-27?</h4></p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">The best hope is running it back, which wasn’t good enough to make a playoff impact this year. They can keep the top of their core, losing more depth in the process — or decide to part ways with Robertson, take a step back, and try to find a path forward. That would mean taking a mulligan on the season to correct some of their cap issues, but that isn’t conducive to try and take advantage of Mikko Rantanen’s prime.</p></div><div class="duet--article--article-body-component"><p class="duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1">This was more or less a make-or-break year for the Dallas Stars, and they broke in the first round. What happens next is anyone’s guess.</p></div></div> #Dallas #Stars #major #soulsearching #NHL #Playoff #exit
