I Tried Nordstrom Trunk Club, and It Made Me Feel Excited to Shop From Home Again

Image
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, tail

Storm Reid Danced to This Chloe x Halle Bop Wearing a Cinderella-Blue Bikini

Image
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 pin

How 13-Year-Old Kheris Rogers Turned Being Bullied Into a Celeb-Loved Fashion Line

Image
At just 13, Kheris Rogers is already enjoying a thriving career. She's an actor, influencer, business owner, and freshly signed artist to Columbia Records new girl group, Run The World. Spend a few minutes scrolling through Kheris's feed and you will quickly see her self-assurance, individuality, and personality shining through. However, this is something that she has grown into throughout childhood. A few years ago, after being bullied at school for her complexion, Kheris's family encouraged her to begin daily affirmations to build up her confidence. She found the practice incredibly effective and rewarding. There was something empowering about being able to transform her negative experience into something positive and self-affirming. She wanted to share her growing sense of strength with the world, and in doing so, help others who might be dealing with similar situations. At the age of 10, with the help of her big sister, Kheris founded " Flexin' In My Complex

The Life Cycle of a Pimple and How to Treat Each Stage, According to Dr. Pimple Popper

Image
We all know that dreaded feeling when a new pimple starts to form deep under the skin - the painful sensation is recognizable anywhere. We immediately go into damage control mode, freshly cleansing the area, layering on any acne spot treatment within arm's reach, and hoping for the best. Even still, the inevitable usually happens, and the zit grows no matter how much preemptive planning is involved. It's hard to stop a breakout in its tracks but not impossible. To do so, it helps if you understand the life cycle of a pimple - from the very start when you first feel it deep under the skin to the moment it finally fades away. Here, board-certified dermatologist and founder of SLMD Skincare , Sandra Lee, MD, AKA Dr. Pimple Popper , explained. First, What's Triggering Your Breakout? There are many different factors to consider when trying to pinpoint the cause of a new pimple . The main ones are genetics, hormones, environmental aggressors, and lifestyle. "If your pa

Kourtney Kardashian Elevates Desert Style in a White-Hot Minidress, Flannel & Heeled Boots

Image
Kourtney Kardashian ’s desert ensemble isn’t your typical hiking choice. The media personality took to Instagram yesterday to show off her wilderness outfit. Stood amongst hills of sand, Kardashian posed in a white belted midi dress reminiscent of ’60s and ’70s style with its high-neck design and oversize buckle. She added in an extra layer with her yellow flannel shirt that resembles styles from sustainable clothing brand Outerknown; similar silhouettes retail for $148 on the brand’s website . View this post on Instagram DESERTed A post shared by Kourtney Kardashian (@kourtneykardash) on Jun 22, 2020 at 12:38pm PDT The standout element of the ensemble came with her footwear; the Poosh founder opted for a bold boot that hit just below the knee with a slouchy finish. The croc-embossed leather pair bears similarities to that of Paris Texas’ signature knee-high boots with a 4.5-inch stiletto heel. A light colorway that echoes Kardashian’s pick from

The power couple posed for a sweet picture with four of their children - North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. For Father's Day , the Kardashian-West fam dressed up in custom pieces by London-based Nigerian designer Mowalola Ogunlesi.

Hand Sanitizers Linked to 1 Factory Contain the Toxic Ingredient Methanol, Warns the FDA

Image
On June 19, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning on hand sanitizer manufactured by Eskbiochem SA de CV in Mexico due to a potential presence of methanol in the formula. Methanol, or wood alcohol, is a substance that can be toxic when absorbed through the skin or ingested and therefore is not an acceptable ingredient for hand sanitizers . This notice comes amid the global coronavirus pandemic where there was a temporary shortage of sanitation products like hand sanitizer due to the spike in demand . Nine types of hand sanitizer products manufactured by Eskbiochem are being called out as dangerous: All-Clean Hand Sanitizer Esk Biochem Hand Sanitizer CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 75% Alcohol Lavar 70 Gel Hand Sanitizer The Good Gel Antibacterial Gel Hand Sanitizer CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 80% Alcohol CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 75% Alcohol CleanCare NoGerm Advanced Hand Sanitizer 80% Alcohol Saniderm Advanced Ha

How to Hold Brands Accountable For Their Lack of Diversity, According to Sharon Chuter

Image
At the beginning of June, in response to an outpouring of beauty brands having voiced their support for the Black community following George Floyd's death, Uoma Beauty founder and CEO Sharon Chuter launched the Pull Up Or Shut Up Challenge . Her goal was to challenge brands to publicly disclose the number of Black employees working in their offices and headquarters as a way to call attention to the fact that far too many of these companies have claimed to be allies, though their hiring practices don't always reflect that. According to Chuter, not only do Black people make up only eight percent of corporate roles in America and three percent of management roles but only four Black people in the US are CEOs of Fortune 500 companies. Since the percentage of Black college graduates in America is 10 percent, she explained that all brands should strive to hit that number when hiring. Within a few days of announcing the initiative, dozens of brands "pulled up" and shared

Raven-Symoné Got Married in a Utility Jumpsuit, So Wedding Dresses Are Officially Outdated

Image
Raven-Symoné married Miranda Maday on June 18, 2020 in an intimate backyard celebration in front of family and friends. I am sure their guests were just as blown away by the brides' wedding outfit choice as I was: coordinating utility jumpsuits. Raven styled hers - which came with zippered pockets up and down the legs - with a pair of black Gucci ankle boots studded with sparkling crystals. She also wore statement drop rhinestone earrings that say "LOVED," because who needs pearls? Miranda, on the other hand, worked an ivory Gucci jumpsuit with the brand's signature stripes, pumps, and a white veil, and Raven's ombré hairstyle added all the color the two needed to balance out the neutrals and really pack a punch. Even though Raven and Miranda's looks definitely cost a pretty penny, we shopped out their bridal essentials after the jump. If nothing else, these clever looks are just making me reconsider a wedding dress altogether. Why not tie the knot in so

13 Editor-Tested Products From Old Navy We're Happy We Bought; Just Read Our Reviews

Image
I'm definitely the type of person who DMs pals and coworkers asking them if they own something I'm considering buying, or if they have a strong recommendation. So while doing some online shopping recently, I thought, "Who better to sift through the most popular products at Old Navy and help me cull the best than my fellow POPSUGAR editors?" From identifying the perfect white t-shirt that promises to maintain quality throughout washing, to high-waisted trousers that I'm dubbing "magic pants" because our editor claims they feel more like sweats, to side-pocket leggings that keep everything in, POPSUGAR editors revealed what their favorite finds have been so far this year. And they're all right this way. Related: Old Navy Just Released Matching Short Sets, and I'm Scooping Them Up Source: https://ift.tt/3cMqrD1

I've Finally Found Swimsuits I Don't Hate My Body in, and It's All Thanks to This Brand

Image
I'd consider myself an "in-betweener" when it comes to size - not curvy, but not fit and toned, and definitely round around the edges ("apple-shaped," if we're using the fruit-size guide). I'm not especially self-conscious in clothes, but when I'm wearing a swimsuit , I hate everything about my body. All I see are doughy, jiggly bits. That is, until I discovered Aerie one-piece swimsuits . I had known all about Aerie and its #AerieReal campaign for a while now, and I love seeing so many women of all different sizes and shapes regularly post photos of themselves using the hashtag. This was the inspiration I needed a few years ago to finally take the plunge and buy one for myself. I thought, if these women can post photos of themselves in a swimsuit for thousands of followers to see, I can find a way to feel good in one as well. I ordered a ruffly black one-piece with cutouts ($27, originally $55) that was sexy and flattering and comfortable - I
