June 18, 2020 at 06:35PM I’m not sure about you, but I get a huge amount of joy from using certain beauty products. Whether it be a super nourishing, luxurious body cream or a red lipstick that perfectly cushions the lips, some products just have that special touch. It makes sense, therefore, that in times like these, I’m turning to such products more so than ever in a bid to lift my spirits. Similarly, with spending more time at home than I’m used to, I have also been finding ways to inject some joy into my surroundings. After several homeware orders, I’m actually starting to run out of space. So last week, as I perused my beauty shelves, I had a eureka moment. Instead of keeping all of my most beautiful, mood-lifting beauty products behind closed doors to experience one once or twice a week, why not keep them out on display for all of the world to see (well, just me for now)? With the rise of social media platforms like Instagram, aesthetics and packaging have a bigger role to play than ever when it comes to the success of a beauty product, and I’m not complaining. As every new launch gets prettier and prettier, it seems such a waste to hide them, no? So if you like the idea of your beauty products doubling up as chic ornaments for your dressing table, keep scrolling. When I heard that fashion label La Double J was collaborating with one of my favourite cult beauty

June 18, 2020 at 01:53PM From extremely tiny handbags to architectural heels and oversized straw hats, over the years, there have been many trends that could be traced back to Simon Porte Jacquemus. The buzzy designer is a favourite amongst celebrities and influencers alike, having managed to start trends which capture the attention of the fashion crowd globally. And this summer is no different, as the designer can likely be credited for the style set’s current obsession with bright pink blazers and suits. Jacquemus debuted its Spring/Summer 2020 collection last year amongst the idyllic backdrop of a lavender field the south of France. During the show, models walked down a vibrant pink runway that stretched over the horizon and while there were, of course, many noteworthy looks debuted that day, one of the most-talked-about items was undoubtedly the designer’s boxy pink blazer. Having solidified the bold colour as one of the shades of the season, it comes as no surprise then that other brands followed suit and began creating pink blazers of their own. From Arket to H&M, the style has been seen all over the high-street garnering the attention of industry insiders.

25 Oh-So-Comfy Buys You Will Not Regret Investing In
June 18, 2020 at 11:00AM There is something somewhat ironic about the fact that I’m writing this article, as historically, I’ve been one of those people who say they “don’t do trainers” and prefer to “err on the side of smart style.” However, after being confronted with a new WFH situation, this has all had to change.

Yes, miracles can happen. It is also clear that many of us, especially now since we’re spending a lot of time at home, need a little more comfort in our lives. Luckily for us fashion lovers, there are plenty of brands that are expertly combining stylish design with oh-so cosy fabrics and fits. The result? Pieces that we would happily wear both on the sofa and on our daily walk in the park.

Celebrate Juneteenth with The Justice Bake Sale
June 18, 2020 at 10:29AM Friday, June 19th is “Juneteenth”, the date in 1865 when General Gordon Granger of the Union Army arrived in Galveston, Texas to demand that all slaves be set free. What a momentous day in our nation’s history. This year, we’re celebrating Juneteenth as a team for the first year ever by officially taking the day off. To be honest, it has us wondering how this holiday hasn’t become the national celebration it could be. We’re wondering why we didn’t all grow up celebrating this day as a powerful moment of profound victory in our country’s trajectory. Maybe 2020 is the year that changes. This weekend is also Father’s Day which means that this weekend rivals only July 4th as the perfect occasion to celebrate the best in summery, all-American foods. Traditional Juneteenth foods include all forms of BBQ, but especially brisket (this is, after all, a Texan holiday of a kind!), as well as red foods and drinks of all kinds, which, according to the UTA’s Daily Texan, “symbolizes blood lost during the struggle for emancipation or the hibiscus tea that was frequently drunk by slaves during celebrations, depending on who you talk to.” The Justice Bake Sale Celebrating Juneteenth across L.A. on June 19th are top chefs participating in Gather For Good’s ‘Pies For Justice: A Charity Bake Sale’. While, unfortunately, there won’t be many charming bake sale experiences to be had in person as our communities remain vigilant against the spread of COVID-19, there will
