Here’s How Apple’s iOS 14 and watchOS 7 Will Change the Way You Sleep, Exercise, Text and More

June 23, 2020 at 09:14PM Each year, Apple holds its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) at its headquarters in Cupertino, California. However, given that COVID-19 restrictions are still in place, the tech giant had to take its annual gathering virtual. Over the past two days, Apple has publicly unveiled the new software developments that will be rolled out in the fall – including iOS 14 and watch0S 7. Below, you’ll find eight key updates we learned attending the keynote and various briefings across the past 48 hours: Messages The iPhone’s iMessage feature is getting a huge update when it comes to group chats. Users can pin frequently-accessed conversations to the top of their messages list, customize conversations by setting a group photo using an image or emoji, and utilize new Memoji options that feature headwear, face masks and more. An important new feature sure to make group chats more manageable is the addition of in-line replies and the ability to address a text directly to a specific person in a group chat, and keep track of all subsequent replies within that thread. image courtesy apple Home Screen The latest iOS update will allows users to introduce Widgets—which can be customized to display timely information, like the Weather, at a glance—to their Home Screens. The widgets can be easily dragged and moved between Home Screen pages, and can be pinned to the screen in various sizes. And instead of multiple Home Screen pages filled with hard-to-locate apps, a new App Library

Millie Bobby Brown’s Cropped Denim Jacket Makes Me Wonder If It’s Time to Grab the Scissors

June 23, 2020 at 09:23PM Millie Bobby Brown, style icon in her own right, shared an Instagram shot of herself from what appears to be a visit to her hairstylist. All posed up in the barber chair, she asked her followers, “Straight or curly?” referring to her hair. But me – I’m the fashion editor over here – thinking to myself, “Cropped or oversize?,” and my focus is on her denim jacket. Millie’s is from River Island, originally retailing for less than $100, though it’s now sold out (don’t worry, we found a similar one after the jump). The tight fit and and structured, triangular collar with moto details scream ’80s to me, but wasn’t it just yesterday that Hailey Bieber was making the oversize fit look cool? Whereas I left all my micro-cropped outerwear in storage at my parents’ house, I’m now considering taking a pair of scissors to my favorite Levi’s jacket. Wouldn’t it look cool slashed and distressed – just underneath the bust – with a white ribbed tank top underneath? Of course, I could go all out like Millie did and throw on a pair of matching light-wash jeans to really make a statement. Just to further prove that Millie was fueled by the ’80s with this look, she accessorized with a scrunchie on her wrist.

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
