Here’s What To Expect From London Fashion Week’s New Digital Platform

June 11, 2020 at 05:30PM In April, the British Fashion Council announced it would be merging the gendered calendars of London Fashion Week into one digital platform to replace catwalk shows for the time being. Tomorrow would’ve marked the beginning of the men’s presentations for Spring 2021; but instead of members of the fashion industry flocking to the city to check out next season’s wares, now everyone – from buyers and press to the general public – will be able to get a glimpse of designers’ upcoming and current collections and more over the next three days. The new #LFWreset, as it’s being called on social, will include film offerings from brands like Nicholas Daley, Marques’Almeida and Teatum Jones. There will also be a panel discussion about sustainability, and conversations with designers including Christopher Raeburn, Hussein Chalayan and Bianca Saunders. Daniel W. Fletcher, who appeared on the Netflix series Next In Fashion, will launch a ready-to-buy collection; and Central Saint Martins and the University of Westminster will present their graduate collections. One of the previous calendar’s most boisterous shows always came from Charles Jeffrey, and his label Loverboy is tapped to do a live event at the weekend’s close; if his past runway events are any indication, it’s not to be missed. But really, it would behoove any fashion lover, as well as those who question fashion week’s validity and are concerned about the industry’s impact, to log in and observe what was previously filtered through the lens of a

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins [Grain-Free]

June 11, 2020 at 01:00PM As a healthy paleo breakfast or snack, these Grain-Free Chocolate Zucchini Muffins will become a summer staple all season long! Enjoy fresh or freeze for later. I love how certain ingredients are a true sign of summer. Zucchini is one of those ingredients! We always had tons of zucchini on hand growing up thanks to all of our friends with gardens. I feel like if you grow zucchini you end up having more than you know what to do with! My family happily took any extras and had a variety of zucchini treats on hand at any given time. Ironically zucchini is one of the veggies we chose not to grow this year. According to our friends it has a habit of taking over your garden so we opted to just get leftovers from friends rather than grow it ourselves. There’s still been no shortage as zucchini season has just begun. I’ll be returning the favor with a batch of these chocolate zucchini muffins! Baking With Zucchini If you’re scared to add a vegetable to your baked goods, don’t be! Zucchini is similar to adding banana or applesauce. It adds a wonderful texture while adding extra nutrients too! It is […] The post Chocolate Zucchini Muffins [Grain-Free] appeared first on The Healthy Maven.

How French Women Are Dressing for Their Living Rooms in Lockdown

June 11, 2020 at 04:45PM French women have a reputation for being inimitably stylish. After all, why else would their clothing choices, beauty routines and haircare secrets be analysed and emulated the world over? With the new normal resulting in us all staying home more than ever before, our daily clothing choices have inevitably changed. Workwear has been replaced with loungewear, and in many instances, boots and heels have surrendered their top spots as most popular footwear, making way for flats, slides and even bare feet.  Right now, many of us are looking for a little inspiration on how to still get dressed properly while staying at home, and given their sought-after style, we thought why not turn to a few French women for some advice? We asked seven stylish Parisian women exactly what they are wearing at home, and as you can imagine, there isn’t a legging in sight.  From airy kaftans and flattering wrap dresses to wide-leg trousers and silk shirts, these women prove that comfort is certainly key when remaining indoors, but that does not mean you have to sacrifice on style. From designers, stylists and influencers, keep scrolling see the outfits French women are wearing at home. “I am wearing Nanushka wool pants, which are very comfortable and chic at the same time. The top is Nanushka as well, but I usually wear a sweater over it. I have bare feet all the time.”  “Since the lockdown, I like to go for outfits that are easy to throw on, comfortable and

Lizzo Shuts Down Body-Shamers in Powerful New TikTok Video

June 11, 2020 at 03:46PM Lizzo has even less space in her life for body-shaming trolls than she does for anything to fit inside the Jacquemus handbag she wore to this year’s American Music Awards. In a new TikTok video posted by the Grammy Award winner yesterday, the Truth Hurts singer shared a montage of workout clips with a powerful voiceover. “Hey, so I’ve been working out consistently for the last five years,” she says at the start of the clip which was captioned, “If you’re not a fat shamer…keep scrolling…ok now that all the fat shamers are here.” She added, “And it may come as a surprise to some of y’all that I’m not working out to have your ideal body type. I’m working out to have my ideal body type. And you know what type that is? None of your f*cking business.” That message alone is so incredibly powerful but she continued: “Because I am beautiful, I am strong, I do my job, and I stay on my job. So next time you want to come to somebody and judge them whether they drink kale smoothies or eat McDonald’s, or work out or not work out, how about you look at your own f*cking self and worry about your own goddamn body? Because health is not just determined on what you look like on the outside. Health is also what happens on the inside. And a lot of y’all need to do a f*cking cleanse for your insides.
