That’s truly the beauty of this remake — putting its own spin on the classic. It pays homage to the original with its musical numbers and memorable supporting characters like crab Sebastian, tropical fish Flounder, and seagull Scuttle. But through its diversity, CGI reimagining of life under the sea, and a tweak to the plot that I won’t give away here, we’re transported to a more relatable, and more magical world of The Little Mermaid.
Is there anything cooler than celebrity looks from the ’90s? In this editor’s opinion, not really. I grew up reading stacks of magazines to uncover the outfits of everyone from Cindy Crawford to Naomi Campbell to Gwyneth Paltrow and imitated them as closely as I was able to. I recently took a turn through the ’90s photo archives, and it occurred to me just how relevant their looks are to this day—specifically their travel looks.
Old Navy Canvas Platform Sandals ($16, originally $40)
These platform sandals will go with everything, and it’s just one of the reasons they have such a high rating. One shopper who gave them a five-star review wrote: “They can be worn with a dressy outfit, or be paired with jeans or shorts.” Our editor deemed them worthwhile, too; read her review of the Old Navy Canvas Platform Sandals.
So, how are you supposed to be around your single friends if you are guilty of giving them the third degree? Absolutely normal. There’s no use skirting around the topic, because that’s not pleasant for anyone, but a little self-awareness never goes astray. Know that you’re probably not the only person asking about your single friend’s romantic endeavours, so try not to badger them too much, especially if they’ve previously shared that they’re aren’t dating. And while you don’t need to hide your happiness out of fear of ‘rubbing it in’, you also don’t need to invite them to every couple-y thing you and your SO do.
Last but certainly not least, the final jewelry trend you should keep a watch out for this summer is timepieces. Like all jewelry, one can argue that watches outlast any trend cycle—and in some ways, that’s true. But what one can’t argue is how modern technology has, in some ways, made the watch “dated.” After all, with so many of us relying on an array of devices, from iPhones, laptops, tablets, and to keep up with the times, it can be easy to dismiss the idea of needing a traditional watch too. And yet, we’ve seen, on and off the runway, more and more people wearing watches. For instance, in Michael Kors and No. 21’s S/S 23 collections, we saw models saunter down the runway wearing multiple watches. At the same time, more influencers than ever have been spotted showing off timepieces. And while you still may be thinking, “Watches are timeless, honey.”
