Heads up! H&M just dropped a new fashion film for their High Summer Collection.
The vibe is very ’60 french film cool–harkening back to a time when “Beach Party” was a genre of film. But instead of Brigitte Bardot, the flick stars Victoria’s Secret angel Doutzen Kroes, following her around as she frolicks in the sand, flirts with her beau, and poses for a photographer.
Dibs on that white dress! Everything else is fair game. -ALI HOFFMAN
Our favorite Spice Girl was Sporty Spice, our favorite type of hat is a baseball one, and our favorite shoes have always been sneakers. As far as we’re concerned, workout clothing has nothing to do with actually working out. Especially when the sporty attire in question is Stella x Adidas. The latest edition of the ongoing collab goes so far above and beyond solid colored spandex.
Try pastels, florals, neons—all of which are perfectly acceptable choices even if your sans gym membership and have no plans to regularly attend Bar Method classes. View the entire collection here.—RAY SIEGEL
Today’s pick definitely has something to do with the fact that I just watched a bride-to-be open up 50 lingerie-filled boxes. It dawned on me that post-bridal shower, she now has more than a month’s worth of sexy loungwear…and I have none. It’s true that I’m not headed towards a honeymoon suite any time soon, but why wait to invest in some nice underpinnings? Even if you’re the only one who sees them, it makes the process of getting dressed (and undressed) a little more exciting. That, to me, is worth the investment.
I’m stocking up on these lace bralettes from Lucca Couture–I’m still not ready to fully to commit to actual bras–because it’s the best-looking, next best thing to going completely braless. Buy your own in the NYLON Shop.—RAY SIEGEL
I would never describe Jessica Biel as edgy–especially not when she’s got a frothy gown on and loads of dewy makeup, as she did today at Cannes for the premiere of Inside Llewyn Davis (the new Coen brothers movie featuring her hubby Justin Timberlake). And yet, there was something about this look that was tougher than usual. Just like with Eve, the culprit here is with her snake; that is, the jeweled Bulgari necklace circling her neck. If you ask me, it’s about as bad-ass as you can get at the French film festival, and really offers an out for any girl who hates looking too girly when she has to dress up.
Love it like me? Since we can’t all afford Bulgari, there are plenty of other options out there. BCBG Max Azria has its own jeweled option for under $100. If you’d rather skip the sparkle, Fallon Jewelry has a reptilian necklace for $175. And if silver is more your thing, check out Vince Camuto’s necklace right here. The pop star boyfriend, however, is all up to you to find. –REBECCA WILL DAVIS
And today, the brand just released a fashion flick to go with the campaign. It’s quick, it’s badass, and it makes us want to go shopping immediately.
Watch it above, and then, fine, you can watch this after. -ALI HOFFMAN
WHO: J Brand
WHAT: Janis V Neck Tee
WHERE: $90 here!
WHY: Because the perfect white T-shirt is nearly impossible to find, judging by the stack of far-from-perfect ones in my closet. So what makes this one so great? It’s super soft without being sheer, it’s oversized without looking like a bedtime tee, and it’s boxy without being cropped. And I may have debated whether or not I wanted to share this secret at all–it’s that good. –ALI HOFFMAN
Fact: there’s not a single Snapple fact compelling enough to come between us and our Arizona Iced Tea. That’s why our newest favorite pastel accessory is a slip-on shoe featuring Arizona’s iconic logo.
The beverage brand’s limited edition shoes are about as fresh as an iced cold green tea with ginseng on a hot summer day. They’re priced at $34.99 and only 1,000 pairs were made. Well, you might as well make that 999 because I just placed an order. Click here to order YOUR pair.—RAY SIEGEL
Like anyone who came of age in the ’90s, my early fashion years were shaped by one very special place: Delia’s.
Back then it was still a catalog, and I can’t tell you how many hours I spent poring over it from front to back cover. Entire playdates would be spent staring at the latest Delia’s catalog to arrive by mail; first we’d go through and pick our favorite item on each page, before going back and analyzing the various models (my favorite was a very Liv Tyler-looking girl) and then taking scissors to paper and making a mood board collage. The only problem with Delia’s was that my mom wouldn’t let me order anything from it until I turned 13. Though the wait was excruciating, it meant that my very first order was a big deal.
To this day, I remember exactly what I got: Two muscle tees–one in heather gray, the other in heather blue, a pack of those metal coil bracelets, and then, my very favorite, a tank top that had a photorealistic image of clouds on the front. But like most things from Delia’s, what looked amazing in the catalog didn’t always hold up so well in real life, and after a year or two of heavy wardrobe rotation, the tank started to rip and my mom convinced me to just let it go.
I wouldn’t say I regret the decision to allow my ultimate Delia’s order to get away, but I do think about (way more than anyone should ever think about any item of clothing). And then I saw this tee from Local Heroes and I felt as if I was 12 again and had just spent the afternoon lying on my floor flipping through the latest Delia’s catalog while Jewel and Alanis Morissette played on the radio (the real radio, not the Spotify version). This time I’m hoping I don’t wear it out so quickly–but just to be safe, I’m picking up two. And you can, too–they’re for sale right here! Put in your order, and then let me know what your Delia’s dream item was in the comments below. –REBECCA WILLA DAVIS
Meet Lily Gray, the LA-based jeweler behind Gold & Gray. Using a mix of natural, semi-precious and precious stones, Gray makes pieces that are feminine with out being too girly, boho without being too granola, and–best of all–they look rad when layered atop all the rings and things you refuse to ever take off.
Check out the full range here and let us know which piece you end up picking (obviously we’re having trouble deciding on just one piece to order). –ALI HOFFMAN
French girls make nonchalant, effortless style seem so simple, but it’s actually REALLY hard to get it right. Right? H&M’s latest video featuring Josephine de la Baume saying funny things in a French accent is very much about that.
Luckily, it also shows off tons of no-fuss, summery dresses that even the most sartorially challenged can do right by.—RAY SIEGEL
