April 29, 2020 When writing our spring summer 2020 trend report, we could have never anticipated the way life as we know it would change. While many of the buyers’ predictions about holiday clothes and wedding guest outfits are now irrelevant to the current climate, there are several items that are proving to be just as popular, despite not being able to be worn outside. “The large majority of the runway collections have been incredibly wearable, the brands have showcased the ultimate wardrobing heroes in a new and interesting way: the suit, the Bermuda short, the white shirt, the tank top…” said Elizabeth von der Goltz, Global Buying Director at Net-a-Porter, back in December. There has been a shift towards simplicity rather than anything too attention seeking within fashion circles, partly driven by the industry’s heightened focus on sustainability. There are three classic items in particular that editors, buyers and influencers are still embracing for the summer, and are still easy to wear inside and for daily walks—platform flip flops, puff-sleeved dresses and elegant polo shirts. Keep scrolling to see and shop the “fashion” shoes, dress, top and of summer 2020. When it comes to sandals this year, the ‘fashion’ shoe of the year is without a doubt the platform flip flop. We can thank Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen for the return of this ’90s shoe, thanks to The Row’s ‘Ginza’ flip flop. Puff-sleeved mini dresses were the silhouette of 2019 and it’s staying firmly put for 2020. As our lifestyles have all rapidly changed we

Who on The Internet Can You Trust to Give You Truthful Beauty Reviews?
April 28, 2020 at 10:22PM Last year, cult favourite skincare brand Sunday Riley settled an investigation with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) after it was revealed that the company’s employees had been posting fake positive reviews of its products on Sephora’s website to help boost sales. In October 2018, a former employee shared a leaked email from the company on Reddit that encouraged employees to write positive reviews and disapprove negative ones. “We need to make sure the reviews for clients stay positive and help generate confidence in the products,” read the directive. “If you notice someone saying things like I didn’t like ‘x’ about it, write a review that says the opposite.” The email went viral after a screenshot was also shared by social media watchdog Estée Laundry, which is considered the beauty industry’s version of Diet Prada. In the end, the FTC banned the company from posting fake reviews but didn’t impose any fines. Given how much consumers rely on product reviews—a seemingly sacred space for getting honest feedback—this social media snafu invites the question “Whom should people trust in the beauty industry?” In an age where consumers value authenticity and demand transparency, the proliferation of fake product reviews and “sponcon” has created a certain level of mistrust. Add to that a few self-styled experts with questionable or no credentials and you’ve got a murky landscape that’s difficult to navigate for the average beauty consumer. It’s precisely this environment that has given rise to Estée Laundry. The

Sabrina the Teenage Witch’s Style Is Pure ’90s Magic – Here Are 15 Outfits to Prove It
April 28, 2020 at 10:10PM Sabrina the Teenage Witch was one of the biggest shows from the ’90s for a reason. The hit ABC series catapulted Melissa Joan Hart, aka Sabrina Spellman, into our lives and hearts. While the show offered up tons of relatable moments with a comedic – and magical – twist, it provided us with a ton of outfit inspiration, too. I can’t tell you the amount of times I looked in the mirror and tried to snap my fingers like Sabrina in hopes of using magical powers to change my outfit on a whim. Sadly, that day never came (shocking, I know), but I know I’m not the only one who was completely envious of Sabrina’s ability to switch from one trendy outfit to the next with one flick of her wrist. If you take a look back, you’ll notice that Sabrina’s wardrobe was pure ’90s gold. In the show, she was seen in some of the decade’s biggest trends that are actually back in style in 2020. I’m still not over her outfit when she met Britney Spears; they danced in matching crop tops and high-waisted jeans. Keep reading to see that and 14 of my other favorite looks to see what I’m talking about.
