June 16, 2020 at 06:00AM Over the last few months, everyone has developed different attitudes to social-distancing dressing. Whether you’ve become a comfy co-ord convert, a legging devotee or someone who is militant about staying smart to keep a routine in place, clothing has played an unexpectedly important role in the way we approach our working weeks. As someone who loves to dress up for work, my approach has been to try and put on something that I feel good in every day, even if it’s just a super-simple ensemble. My general approach has been comfy minimalism with the odd splash of colour or playful detailing. This has meant I have rarely worn jeans (too constricting) and have enjoyed digging out some previously neglected dresses, alongside embracing neutral separates and championing the throw-on appeal of the jumpsuit. Of course, the only person seeing these outfits is my husband—well, and now you—but I have found that fashion is a small yet significant way to be creative and lift my mood each morning. For you, that might be cooking or exercise, crafts or puzzles—you just gotta find what keeps you going. So if you’re interested, I’ve detailed the seven outfits that have brought a bit of fun to my working week. Scroll down to see what I chose. Style Notes: I nabbed this Avavav mini in its online sample sale (it’s so good—check it out here), and thanks to its light fabric, it’s such a good option for a warm day. I just add my Topshop sandals for a pop of colour. Style Notes: This has got to be one of my favourite jumpsuits.

I Live In Paris—and This is My Capsule for Summer 2020
June 16, 2020 at 06:00AM Every month, Londoner turned Parisienne Marissa Cox of Rue Rodier will bring you her pearls of Parisian fashion wisdom and beauty tips straight from the French capital. A writer, photographer and influencer, we turn to the oh-so-chic Marissa on a regular basis for a truly unique take on her adopted country’s signature style. Whether we’re looking to her décor decisions, handbag purchases or chic hotel choices, we can all agree that looking un petit peu plus Français could never be a bad thing… I’m finally back home in Paris, after spending two and a half months at my mum’s in the UK for lockdown. Following a week of settling into my new apartment – I moved six days before we went into quarantine – and being reunited with my wardrobe (a cause for celebration in itself), I’m becoming accustomed to my new ‘normal’, which means wearing a mask (obligatory when going into a supermarket, shop or any place of business here). It’s a minimalistic black one in case you’re wondering. I have (of course) been trying to colour coordinate my new face fixture by wearing something black every day, although admittedly it’s strange leaving the house with an added (essential) accessory, but health is wealth. I was equal parts excited and apprehensive about returning home to Paris, but France is easing, things are beginning to open up a little more this week and the parks re-opened over the weekend! Meaning that after wearing almost the

June 15, 2020 at 07:49PM For nearly a decade, Sid Neigum has remained one of the most intriguing designers in the Canadian fashion landscape.

Michael Kors Announces New Approach to Fashion Calendar
June 15, 2020 at 06:07PM In the wake of social distancing measures, store closures and fashion week cancellations as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, brands have begun to reassess the way in which they design and present collections to consumers, with many advocating for change. Today, Michael Kors announced that he will bid farewell to the traditional fashion calendar in favour of a new, more streamlined approach. His announcement follows similar declarations from Gucci and Saint Laurent. In a detailed press release, the American designer revealed that he will not show during NYFW in September (it is still yet to be seen whether this event will go ahead in light of current circumstances surrounding COVID-19 and social distancing) and will instead present his S/S21 collection “sometime between October and mid-November” of this year in an as-yet unknown format. Beyond that, Kors will only present two collections a year for Michael Kors Collection – one for spring/summer and the other for fall/winter – and deliveries of these collections will happen “incrementally” over the season so as to “more closely [reflect] how customers in today’s world actually live and shop.” Furthermore, the brand will sell its collection to retailers ahead of revealing them to the press and public to help introduce a more reasonable pace for retail supply chains and factories. It will also reassess when its Fall collection is released, noting that it will likely be “sometime between mid-March and mid-April.” Kors said these changes are “long overdue” and

While I’m a huge fan of baking I’m also a huge fan of not baking. Ha! Especially when the weather warms up, I like to keep our house cooler and keep the oven turned off when possible. And just on cue, our oven malfunctioned the other days so looks like we’ll be taking a week off baking anyway! So when I was craving a cinnamon roll the other day, I shifted gears in my mind and decided to make cinnamon roll protein bars! And let me tell you… they were a great substitute for the real deal! Here’s What You Need: raw, unsalted cashews – I’ve only made these with cashews but you could try using a different combination of nuts if you’d like! dates – adds the perfect amount of sweetness and holds these bars together. vanilla protein powder – I have been liking the Garden of Life Vanilla Plant-Based Protein Powder lately but any vegan or whey protein powder will work!
