Corey Moranis’ New Collection Brings a Bit of Spring Into Your Wardrobe

May 04, 2020 at 06:15PM Dance and design, what a match made in heaven; and the campaign for jewellery designer Corey Moranis’ newest pieces is heavenly indeed. Through the movements and gestures of Winnipeg-based dancer and choreographer Kaja Irwin, her Spring collection comes to life, and at a time when elevating experiences are most appreciated. Moranis will inspire you in other ways, too, through her donation commitments to COVID-19 relief—recipients change bi-weekly and have included Food Banks Canada and the Women’s College Hospital—and ways she’s staying connected to her community. We caught up with the Toronto-based creative to find out more details about the collection, her ultra-calming playlist, and what went down during the Scarborough Bluffs video shoot with Irwin. Tell me about the new shapes found in the Spring collection. What were some inspirations you were working with? The newest shapes from the Spring collection are all very loopy! I was inspired to come up with more organic and figurative shapes than [seen in] previous collections. Being able to produce a flower, for example, was really exciting, and the loop bracelet has an ornamental feeling inspired by the spiral on a Greek column. It’s fun and challenging to bend loops out of Lucite, so a lot of results come from experimenting. I’d love to expand on these shapes in the future. What was it like working with Kaja for the campaign? Why did you decide to incorporate dance into the video? Kaja Irwin is one of my closest friends,

Outer Banks: I’m on the Wait List For John B’s Beach Day Shirt, and I Won’t Give Up Till It’s Mine

May 04, 2020 at 05:57PM Full disclosure: at the time I’m writing this, I have only watched one episode of Netflix’s Outer Banks, which, understandably, is all the rage right now. Aside from being filmed in a beach town, thereby providing a method of “vacation escapism” when our world could really use it, it’s also a story of friendship that fans hope to follow into a second season. With a beach town comes beach shirts, and in the first episode alone, John B, played by Chase Stokes, already set my heart on fire with his Duvin Design Co. Beach Day Buttonup. Naturally, the moment I saw it, I paused the episode (no, I couldn’t wait until the credits rolled) and did some careful digging. The shirt, which retails for $63 and features a crew of ladies sunbathing, is currently sold out, but you can enter your email to receive updates about restocking information. You can be sure that when that email pops into my inbox, I’ll already have my credit card in hand. I’m seriously considering tucking it away in my bedside drawer, just in case this all goes down in the wee hours of the morning. I can imagine wearing this perfect lightweight shirt as a swimsuit cover-up or with baggy jeans and braided slides when I want to channel my inner Californian this summer. Also, as a big fan of The O.C., the totally awesome, slightly eccentric pattern reminds me of Seth Cohen’s great taste, albeit in a

Selena Gomez’s House Slippers Look So Cozy, I Can Practically Feel How Soft They Are With 1 Glance

May 04, 2020 at 04:38PM Selena Gomez‘s at-home style is as cozy as we imagined. The singer showed off her new makeshift studio at home so she can create some tunes while staying safe. Selena looked comfortable in a gray sweater paired with blue sweatpants while sitting on the floor of her new studio, which features insulated walls, a music stand, and a microphone. It is exciting to see that the singer is already back in the studio after just releasing her new album, Rare. Her sweater came in an oversize silhouette that looked perfect for everyday wear and recording new jams. We also noticed a pair of fuzzy slippers on the side of the photo that looked utterly comfortable. Selena’s Instagram reminded us of the importance of a good pair of house slippers, especially since we’re all staying at home at the moment. Her plush, fuzzy slides came in a classic, neutral brown hue that matches just about everything from jeans to a dress. TBH, who wouldn’t want to feel like they’re walking on clouds?

J.Crew Files For Bankruptcy, but Will Stores Close? Here’s What You Need to Know

May 04, 2020 at 04:37PM J.Crew has filed for bankruptcy to eliminate $1.65 billion in debt, releasing an official announcement on the company’s website. J.Crew is the first major US retailer to announce bankruptcy during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been affecting businesses large and small. But before you panic, wondering where you’re going to score that perfect gingham swimsuit for summer or those trusty, well-tailored suit separates, know this: J.Crew is not planning on closing its stores, and Madewell is safe, too. J.Crew and Madewell will continue to monitor the coronavirus and reopen retail locations once it is safe to do so. Madewell is still set to remain a part of J.Crew Group, Inc, which, as of May 4, owns and operates 181 J.Crew stores, 140 Madewell stores, jcrew.com, jcrewfactory.com, madewell.com, and 170 factory stores.

While J.Crew isn’t going anywhere yet, it’s definitely disappointing to see some of our favorite businesses struggling, and we’re sad to hear the news about J.Crew’s financial struggles.
