June 23, 2020 at 07:31PM Mirror selfies are so important these days that I actually consider how the clothes I’m buying will look on my Instagram feed. Call me crazy, but some outfits, or pieces in particular, just warrant a certain pose – like that crouch-down-and-show-off-your-shoes move, for example. Come on, you’ve totally invested in a minidress or a blazer knowing what you’d wear it with and exactly how the combination would all photograph together. We’re big fans of the mirror selfie at POPSUGAR because it offers complete control over everything, from the caption and the pose to the lighting and the angle, although we definitely have recommendations for these crucial elements. While you 100 percent know what suits you best, there are tried-and-true tricks to the mirror-selfie magic that you should read up on before posting anything to your account, especially if you like to maintain a particular aesthetic. We studied some of our favorite editors and influencers who have mastered the mirror selfie time and time again, and, ahead, we present you with the best advice for nailing your own solid look in the most flattering light. Scroll through to read up on our tips, then shop a few key items it wouldn’t hurt to have on hand when you’re in preparation mode. – Additional reporting by Samantha Sutton More Celeb News Author Sarah Wasilak | Popsugar Selected by CWC

Calling All Bucket Hat Babes – We Have Outfit Ideas For You
June 23, 2020 at 06:45PM I’m a big fan of the bucket hat. I throw mine on when I’m stepping out for a walk or embarking on a day trip to the beach, and there are even times I construct an entire outfit around it. The casual accessory, which throws it back to the ’90s, has been gaining popularity for the past two summers, striking the eye of high-end designer labels like Gucci and Prada, both brands stamping their signature logos on the trendy piece. For summer 2020, we’re seeing a lot of two and three piece sets: printed minidress + bucket hat splashed in a matching pattern or bikini + bucket hat + beach skirt, for those who prefer to go monochrome from head to toe. If you’re still big into tie-dye, there are plenty of bucket hats that fall into that camp, fulfilling all our hip, surfer dreams. Whether you’re the type of bucket hat wearer who prefers the look with a side of athleisure, and you’re officially replacing your baseball cap with the bucket shape for good, or you like to keep one strictly on hand for pool days only, we bet you’ll find a combination you’re ready to shop below.

I Tried Nordstrom Trunk Club, and It Made Me Feel Excited to Shop From Home Again
June 23, 2020 at 06:01PM As a shopping editor, I have always been curious to try Trunk Club, Nordstrom’s clothing subscription service. When I had the chance to test it out for myself, I immediately hopped on board. Because many stores are currently closed due to the pandemic, my excitement for shopping has dwindled. Being able to go to a store, feel fabrics, and try on pieces in a fitting room is unmatched by endlessly perusing websites. I was curious to see how a shopping service would compare. How It Works When I signed up for Trunk Club, the site prompted me to take an in-depth (yet fun!) quiz that asked about my sense of style, sizes, and budget. Once that was complete, I was matched with a stylist who took a day to pull pieces for me that she thought I’d like. Once my trunk was curated, I got to take a look at it online, get rid of pieces that weren’t my taste, and receive a few surprise replacements. My box was then shipped to me and came packed with clothes, shoes, and accessories, tailored to fit my preferences. I tried them on, kept what I loved, and sent back what I didn’t. I logged into my profile, let Trunk Club know what I was returning, then mailed it back to them with the preprinted shipping label they provide. They didn’t charge me until I let them know what I was keeping, which I really appreciated. The Verdict

These Are the Best Face Masks, According to Those in the Know
June 23, 2020 at 05:30PM A great face mask can cure all your skin needs. Dry and dehydrated? Feeling a bit jaded and dull from lack of vitamin D? Simply in need of five minutes of self-care? Nothing beats a Sunday-evening face mask moment to tackle any of the above. It’s one of the easiest ways to get that post-facial glow at home and the perfect way to unwind. But which mask to choose? The industry is overflowing with options, so we’ve gone to experts, ever-glowy celebs, and beauty insiders to bring you an edit of masks that people have only ever described as the best.

Storm Reid Danced to This Chloe x Halle Bop Wearing a Cinderella-Blue Bikini
June 23, 2020 at 05:32PM In case you were wondering, Storm Reid is also a fan of the affordable swimwear line Frankies Bikinis. The 16-year-old actress was seen dancing up a storm (pun intended) with her best friend wearing a two-piece from the brand. She posted a video of herself and her BFF dancing to Halle x Chloe’s “Ungodly Hour.” (If you haven’t heard their latest album, what are you waiting for?) Storm showed off her dance moves while grooving to the song wearing Frankies Bikinis’s Zuma Bikini. The swimsuit came in a gorgeous light-blue color called Lagoon, and it reminded me of Disney’s Cinderella. Storm’s Zuma bikini top, which costs $95, came in a one-shoulder silhouette. She finished off her look with the matching Zuma bottom, which is priced at $90. Her best friend, on the other hand, opted for a stunning bright orange bikini. The duo matched with statement-making slides as well. Storm opted for a black pair of chain-link slides, while her friend wore a pair of pink ones that featured bows. Keep reading to watch the besties break it down. Then, shop Storm’s exact baby-blue bikini, as well as similar styles, if you’re in the market for a new swimsuit.
