When looking to add to my spring/summer wardrobe there’s one thing I always look for: ease. With the warmer days and so many plans ahead, I’m looking for reliable pieces that don’t need complicated styling to do the hard work for me, and often I find myself turning to dresses. Alongside, the warmer weather means I’m drawn to more relaxed silhouettes, those that flow over the body and ensure comfort is front and centre with style. And COS has combined these two ease factors in perfect harmony to create the contrast panel midi dress.
My Miscarriage Was “Common” — For Black Women That Isn’t Comforting, It’s Terrifying
In pop culture and on film and TV — the place I generally go to either make sense of the world or to escape it — miscarriages are typically used as a plot device, a way to get a character out of a pesky pregnancy or as a copout so the writers don’t have to deal with abortion (see: the “convenient miscarriage” trope in TV most recently depicted on And Just Like That). As “common” as they are on screen, the gory details are usually spared. In Grey’s Anatomy, when Cristina Yang has a miscarriage in Season 2, the focus of her recovery is on her emotional coldness towards the incident (she eventually cries so hard she delivers the now iconic and much-memed “Somebody sedate me!” line), not the physical specifics. When Meredith Grey and Miranda Bailey experience their own in later seasons, the medical ramifications, aside from some blood, are also glossed over.
Rosie HW Just Wore the Stylish Alternative to Dresses That Makes Spring Dressing So Easy
Dressing for spring and summer is one of the main reasons that the hottest seasons are my favourite. Simply reach for a pretty dress or linen trouser and some strappy sandals and you’re ready without a hitch—no need to spare a thought about layers, wet-weather gear, or “appropriate” footwear. With a fondness for the ease of warm-weather styling, I couldn’t help but notice that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley just wore the perfect equivalent in the form a chic dress alternative that’s makes getting ready so easy.
I Thought Body Care Was Pointless, Until I Found This £13 Lotion
For me, though, the biggest test for a body lotion is how well it performs on my feet, which, come rain or shine, are always tucked inside chunky Doc Marten boots. The skin on the soles of our feet is typically a lot thicker and drier than elsewhere on the body, so it often needs extra care; regularly using a lotion with exfoliating acids (especially gentle versions like PHAs) is a great shout. I expected much softer soles but — and this is the only way I can think to describe how effective the lotion is — they literally squeak inside my bed sheets. Some will cringe but those with a history of dry, cracked feet will know how deeply satisfying this feeling is. So much so, I’ve ditched the expensive, podiatrist-recommended foot cream I was using previously. It just didn’t cut it and it was nowhere near as good value.
