July 02, 2020 at 05:30PM As an editor who lives and breathes all things beauty, even I must admit that the industry is a little saturated with products that offer very similar results with differing price tags. Don’t get me wrong. I love a luxury beauty item as much as the next person, but I am willing to admit that an expensive price tag doesn’t always equal high-end results. Gone are the days of affordable products being filled with drying alcohols, fragrances and pore-clogging silcones; the affordable brands making headlines in 2020 are here to compete. One of the most obvious stars of the affordable market over the last couple of years has been beauty members club Beauty Pie. Offering seriously high-quality products, Beauty Pie cuts out the middleman and saves money where other brands don’t. Costly go-betweens with manufacturers and retailers are cut, there’s no celebrity marketing, no stores, and it removes any chance of retailer markups (because there are no other retailers). A product that might usually cost £100 can be yours for £11. To access the products, the idea is that members pay a small monthly fee, starting from £5, that allows them to shop at heavily discounted prices. If you don’t want to commit to a membership? You can still buy the products, just at a higher price. And I must admit, when it first launched, my thoughts were that it provided an interesting and niche business model but would likely only appeal to serious beauty buffs and have a relatively short

32 Ways to Wear Nikes That Actually Don’t Involve Your Gym Clothes
July 02, 2020 at 05:30PM Fashion is still rightfully sneaker-obsessed. There’s nothing more comfortable on our feet, and thanks to designer iterations from the likes of Pyer Moss, Balenciaga, and Chanel, they’ve also never been so prominently featured on the runway or in high fashion. So you can – and we do – feel free to mix them with athleisure, a day dress, and even a suit. While I admit, I have a thing for designer sneakers (Isabel Marant makes a very good pair), I always come back to Nikes, thanks to their versatility, affordability, and staying power. Dressed in Nikes, you need not wonder if you’ve got on the right footwear, you just know they look cool with just about anything – yes, even a tulle skirt. If you need convincing, I’ve curated some of my favorite outfits. The ones that’ll stop you in your tracks, and as you try to trace what exactly makes them so good, you’ll notice those Nikes. Effortless, even when they’re bright or bolder than classic Cortez styles, they seem to say, “I’m chill, my outfit’s chill – and maybe I did or didn’t go to the gym today.” Let the outfits ahead inspire you.

A Vancouver-based Street Style Photographer is Selling Prints to Benefit The Loveland Foundation
July 02, 2020 at 04:18PM There are many different ways to support the Black Lives Matter movement through advocacy and financial investment. And this week, Canadian street style photographer Sabrina Fenster, who works under the moniker StreetScout, launched the sale of a series of prints (some with handwritten notes from the images’ subjects), with 100% of the proceeds from the images going to The Loveland Foundation. Founded in 2018 by writer and lecturer Rachel Cargle, Loveland provides a therapy fund for Black women and girls across America, as well as opportunities for advancement through fellowships, residency programs and listening tours. “I am using my street style photography as a platform to give to a charitable foundation and create ongoing and tangible social impact,” says Fenster about her mission with the series. “My goal is to create and share prints that are driven by purpose, and also give you, the buyer, the opportunity to contribute to meaningful change while hanging something beautiful in your home. Not only are you supporting the cause, you are getting a token from the cause. Each print serves as a reminder of your ongoing commitment to create positive change toward racial equality.” We caught up with Fenster, who has also been documenting BLM protests, to find out more about why she’s selling her photos, and what she’s learned by following the momentum of Black Lives Matter.

Harry Styles’s Rainbow Crochet Sweater Is Now a DIY Project on TikTok
July 02, 2020 at 04:23PM When Harry Styles prepared for his performance on NBC’s Today back in February, he wore a multicolor patchwork crochet cardigan from JW Anderson (originally $1,890), not at all unlike Dua Lipa’s loungewear shorts of choice. Are you sensing a groovy, ’70s-inspired trend? Eagle-eyed fans were perhaps more into Harry’s chill dress-rehearsal look than the peach blazer and polka-dot tie he performed in. Harry styled the Spring/Summer 2020 runway item with Gucci jeans, a graphic tee, a pearl necklace, and his signature fistful of chunky rings. He looked great, that’s for sure. So we don’t blame TikTok users for trying to re-create the fashion moment as a stay-home activity these past few months. Now, JW Anderson is releasing the pattern to the public – a little DIY made easy . . . or easier. “I am so impressed and incredibly humbled by this trend and everyone knitting the cardigan. I really wanted to show our appreciation so we are sharing the pattern with everyone. Keep it up!” Jonathan wrote on Instagram, directing followers to an email address on his website where you can write in to request a PDF of the pattern. Scroll through to reminisce about the fashion moment du jour that TikTok-ers seem to have on their minds, then see some of our favorite remakes of the sweater thus far. Not into DIY? We rounded up some similar, more affordable versions of the sold-out colorblock cardigan so you can still get in on Harry’s
