April 28, 2020 at 10:00AM Get the best of eggplant parmesan in this meal-in-one, easy clean-up version of eggplant parmesan quinoa casserole. No need to precook your quinoa – just mix your ingredients and make for a delicious, easy dinner recipe. One of my favorite meals has always been eggplant parmesan. Don’t get me wrong, I pretty much love everything with cheese but there’s something about the heartiness of eggplant parmesan that makes it my ultimate comfort food. But here’s the thing, while I may love eggplant parmesan, I absolutely hate making it. SO MANY DISHES. Between breading the eggplant, frying it and then baking it – not to mention making the pasta- it’s all just a little too much work for me to make on a regular basis. If you’ve been a longtime reader of The Healthy Maven then you know how much I love a good casserole. One pan and BAM you’ve got a meal in one. This is especially true of quinoa casseroles which despite common belief, you do not have to precook your quinoa. It’s all about getting your ratios right and since I’m a lazy but picky cook I’ve managed to get those ratios right just for you.

10 British Brands We Are Championing This Year—and Beyond
April 28, 2020 at 06:12AM Given that so much has changed across the world over the last two months, here at Who What Wear we decided to ask our readers what they wanted to see more of in this ever-evolving climate. From stories on loungewear to work from home outfit ideas, our readers responded with varying answers about what still feels relevant to them today and of course, we have tried to deliver on each and every request. Though throughout all the emails and comments we received one thing was clear, people are yearning to know more about how to support British-designed brands. Several readers wrote in and explained they’d like us to highlight a few more UK-based brands, so today we’re doing just that. From Ghost, to Kitri, Rixo and Shrimps, the UK is home to a wealth of talent, particularly when it comes to contemporary labels with their own unique flair. Each of the brands listed below has an instantly recognizable aesthetic to cater to their individual customer. So whether you know them all, or you’re reading about them for the first time today, here are 10 British brands we think deserve your attention. Founded by Haeni Kim in 2017, Kitri has experienced so much success in its few short years. Loved by influencers and editors, the brand offers floaty feminine dresses and distinctive smile-inducing prints you’ll want to wear time and again. After graduating from Central Saint Martins and gaining experience at Roksanda, Rejina Pyo launched her eponymous label
Why Your Lingerie Drawer Needs a Winter-to-Summer Changeover, Too
April 28, 2020 at 06:00AM I didn’t mean to become the unofficial lingerie correspondent for Who What Wear, but somehow I seem to write about boobs a lot. It’s not that I don’t love underwear, I do, just as much as the next person, but it’s more to do with how much my own lingerie needs have changed over the years, specifically when it comes to bras. From wedding prep to being a runner, as well as pre-pregnancy, pregnancy and post-pregnancy, my bra size has run the gamut. Not only have I spent a lot of time trying various bras on, but I’ve also spent a lot of time chatting with the experts on what makes a great bit of lingerie. Today, I’m turning my attention to summer lingerie. Yep, it’s a thing. I mean, of course, it is. Come summer, you’ll end up wearing less clothing and items that are made of less material. Gone are longer sleeves, and in their place will be strappy slip dresses, sleeveless tops, and perhaps a backless blouse. This means that you’re likely to need underwear that works for this seasonal shift in your wardrobe. While I might have some expertise in finding new bras for your shape, I always speak to experts when it comes to understanding trends and what to look out for. I spoke to Georgia Larsen, the founder of one of my favourite British lingerie brands, Dora Larsen. The label specialises in cool brightly coloured (but importantly, not garish) pieces. And as it consistently nails
4 Lessons I’ve Learned About Skincare Since Moving to Paris
April 28, 2020 at 06:00AM Every month, Londoner turned Parisienne Marissa Cox of Rue Rodier will bring you her pearls of Parisian fashion wisdom and beauty tips straight from the French capital. A writer, photographer and influencer, we turn to the oh-so-chic Marissa on a regular basis for a truly unique take on her adopted country’s signature style. Whether we’re looking to her décor decisions, handbag purchases or chic hotel choices, we can all agree that looking un petit peu plus Français could never be a bad thing… One thing I’ve been more exposed to more since moving to Paris seven years ago, besides good wine, baguettes and French men, is great skincare and overall more respect for it. I’ve always looked after my skin, but that’s because my mother instilled in me the importance of a good beauty routine from a young age and my knowledge came from her. But I’ve generally found that growing up and then entering the workforce in the UK, unless one works in an industry that has more emphasis on appearance, or has a mother that had you cleansing, toning and moisturizing early on (I even had the three step Clinique products as a young teen), this hasn’t been the norm compared with others side of the channel. It’s usually been me advising my British friends on what to use and buy, or looking at their face and telling them that they should probably be wearing an eye cream. In France, I discovered that
I Tried Every Product From The Ordinary—These Are the Ones I’d Recommend
April 28, 2020 at 06:00AM It was only a few weeks ago, when I was singing the praises of a certain £6 product that had converted me to eye creams, that I took the time to actually take a proper look at my bathroom beauty stash and realised just how many other products from the same brand had a permanent home in my skincare rotation. As I’ve mentioned previously, The Ordinary is an affordable beauty brand offering up high-performance formulations with ingredients at their core. Ask any beauty junkie or skincare fanatic about them and chances are they’ll have a couple of products in their bathroom cabinets. Admittedly, if you aren’t already clued about the ingredients you should be putting on your face, The Ordinary can feel a little overwhelming at first. But with a little research into your skin concerns and needs, it’s a great affordable beauty brand to get on board with. For reference, my skin is combination, prone to regular hormonal breakouts, has dehydrated patches around my nose and chin, and is starting to show those early signs of ageing in the form of some very small (but definitely present) fine lines around my eyes—and The Ordinary offers up products that suit all of my very specific skin needs. Keep scrolling to shop my favourite products from The Ordinary, along with advice on what skin concerns they’ll solve and how to use them. Who should use it: People with oily skin who are prone to breakouts. If I could only
20 & Other Stories Pieces That Are Making Me Smile
April 28, 2020 at 06:00AM On days when I feel a little out of sorts, I tend to lean on the same styling trick to make me look and feel a little brighter. You guessed it: wearing bright colours. On days when I have a headache, a hangover or am feeling a little emotional, I’ll head for the most colourful items I own. So it won’t surprise you to hear that I’ve spent most of March and April dressing like a rainbow and wearing more vibrant colours than Queen Elizabeth II on a royal tour. And I’m not alone here. This month, many participated in the #instarainbowchallenge, in which people wore jolly, vibrant outfits for a week. In my opinion, the one high-street store that does colour better than anywhere else is & Other Stories, as you’d currently struggle to find much beige and black on there. There’s a clear colour palette it is working with for spring, with many of the designs incorporating powdery pinks, acid greens, lemons and soft, icy blues. The items that I love the most include a linen pink midi dress with a smocked detail at the waist and a peppermint smocked crop top. What can I say? I love the smock. I am also drawn to the pastel linen tailoring, particularly the sage green linen shorts and the baby-pink blazer. Keep scrolling to see all the colourful pieces I’m loving on & Other Stories right now. Next up, see our guide to the key trends for spring and summer 2020.

This Is How the Coolest Minimalists Are Dressing Now
April 28, 2020 at 04:08AM More than ever, the fashion industry has become one defined by binaries. On the one hand, you have the “throw everything at it” maximalists, many of whom only exist on our Instagram feeds and immortalised on the pavements of fashion week—an aesthetic spearheaded by the likes of Alessandro Michele at Gucci and Demna Gvasalia at Balenciaga. On the other hand, you have those who are rejecting the noise and clamour of clashing prints and accessory overload and instead embracing a more contemplative approach. Yes, it is minimalism, but not as you know it. Minimalism is an aesthetic that has simmered beneath the surface for decades, occasionally bubbling-up and making its presence felt, but never really disappearing entirely. From Coco Chanel’s sporty separates and Calvin Klein’s ‘90s greyscale to Phoebe Philo’s austere, post-financial crash stylings at Celine, it’s one of the few fashion movements that has transcended multiple generations. Bottega Veneta runway spring/summer 2020. Over the last few seasons, it has become clear that minimalism is having another moment in the spotlight. And more than ever, shoppers want pieces that last—not just for budget reasons but for ethical and sustainable fashion purposes too. Two fashion houses have spearheaded this new minimalism—The Row and Bottega Veneta. And both brands have given us a new appreciation of minimalism for 2020. “Approaching each season, we look to our six muses; the fashion pioneer, the warrior, the free spirit, the curator, the romantic and the purist,” explains Natalie Kingham, buying director at MatchesFashion. “The Purist opts for minimalist style with a
People Are Re-Creating Iconic Met Gala Looks at Home, and I’m Ready to Roll Out the Red Carpet
April 28, 2020 at 02:22AM The 2020 Met Gala may be postponed, but that hasn’t stopped people from getting fashionably creative and imaginative at home. Prompted by Billy Porter and Vogue, stylish individuals have been re-creating designer outfits for the #MetGalaChallenge, and no surprise, the results are absolutely incredible. Billy kicked off the challenge last month when he asked followers to replicate his 2019 Met Gala ensemble in a DIY way. On April 22, Vogue took things further and requested fans honor fashion’s biggest night out by putting their own twist on iconic red carpet looks. Naturally, the creativity jumped out, and people started exploring different celebrity outfits, channeling stars like Bella Hadid and Laverne Cox.

35 Iconic 1980s Fashion Moments We Never Want to Forget
April 28, 2020 at 02:22AM When it comes to ’80s fashion, we have a (surprising) amount to be thankful for. While the decade previously hadn’t influenced our wardrobes for a long time, in recent years, we’ve come to the realisation that all the most current trends today are courtesy of the ’80s. Now, if you’re not too familiar with the nuances of this era, there are a few standout looks we’re sure you’ll recognise: big shoulders, white jeans, underwear as outerwear and oversized jewellery. It was the decade of the power dresser but also of punks. It gave us Madonna, Tina Turner and Cher, plus numerous other superstars whose sense of style influences many right now. Don’t believe us? From the fact that Princess Diana’s archive is inspiring some of the world’s most influential designers to the more basic resurgence in women wearing blazers with jeans again, we’ve found 35 A-list images that prove these ’80s fashion looks are as current now as they were then. Keep scrolling to click through our gallery of iconic ’80s outfits. Style Notes: This is classic ’80s Madonna, but the underwear/bodysuit look is bang on the money for now. You can forgo the pearls—just wear yours with some high-waisted jeans for a night out. Style Notes: As if we needed any more proof that Cher is the ultimate style queen, here was the star doing the naked dress before everyone was doing it at the Met Gala (and every other award show going). Style Notes: Brooke Shields was America’s number
