Kendall Jenner on Fall Fashion and Her New Calvin Klein Campaign

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , , /

Considering that we’re still in the throes of summer, it may feel a touch surreal to be thinking about fall style already. Thankfully, we have the perfect excuse to dream about cozy knits and sexy long-sleeve dresses: Calvin Klein’s fall 2023 campaign, starring none other than Kendall Jenner and debuting exclusively on ELLE.com. The supermodel-entrepreneur-expert cucumber-cutter has been working with the legendary American brand for over a decade now, fronting both signature CK Underwear ads and sporting its signature wares. Next season sees Jenner in vampy makeup with blown-out hair, embracing a classic ’90s supermodel look that wonderfully contrasts her more pared-back appearances, both in front of the camera and in candid street style photos.

The upcoming collection is an encapsulation of the fall trends we’re shopping now in hopes for slightly cooler weather around the corner: loose-fitting suits in neutral colors, knit dresses, leather miniskirts to pair with crisp poplin skirts. The lines are clean, easy to wear, and incorporate seamlessly into any wardrobe, whether you skew minimalist or you’re an ultra-maximalists who needs a palate cleanser. Jenner, as is her wont, rocks everything, from curve-hugging black dresses to an alluring black cut-out slip dress paired

Online Shopping Fails and How To Avoid Them – Forbes Advisor

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , /

These are some of the most common online shopping fails, complete with personal anecdotes from those who have survived them.

Not Checking the Return Policy

From fees for return shipping labels to getting e-credits instead of refunds, returns when shopping online are a pain. And since you’re not actually seeing the merchandise in person or trying it on to see if it fits when buying, returns are relatively commonplace when shopping online.

While you don’t have to head to the store to return an item, you may have to head to the post office, print various shipping labels, buy an envelope or box or dig through poorly designed websites to figure out if and how you can complete a return for something you bought online.

Elise, an Indiana resident, experienced this firsthand when she did online shopping hauls at a few stores. One store charged her $7 for a return label to send the item that didn’t fit quite right back for a return, while another vendor only provided her with an e-credit to use online instead of a refund for an item that didn’t work for her. “You have to be careful with the online return policies,” she said.

Margot Robbie is wowing on the red carpets Barbie outfit reps

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , , , /

How many fashion enthusiasts sparked their earliest sartorial leanings by putting on fashion shows with their dolls, dressing them in velcro-affixed outfits and twisting their synthetic hair into fantastical creations? Recently, as Margot Robbie and the cast of “Barbie” have embarked on a world press tour for the upcoming film, Robbie’s stylist Andrew Mukamal has been living out that childhood dream, dressing the real life Barbie in one deliciously girlie look after another.

And we’re all living in a Barbie world this summer. Between the film’s painstakingly recreated Dreamhouse set, Ryan Gosling’s Kenergy, director Greta Gerwig’s film credentials, a boppy soundtrack from Dua Lipa and Ice Spice and a top secret script (what is it about?!), this is the most hotly anticipated film in years .

The stakes are high, but Mukamal has succeeded in feeding the fandom all it desires, dressing Robbie in a nostalgic parade of iconic Barbie doll outfit recreations and vintage pieces from Versace, Chanel and Moschino, many paired with custom Manolo Blahnik stiletto mules perfect for slipping onto those arched, immobile feet.

Paying homage to the doll that started it all, Mukamal styled Robbie for a Sydney event in a black and white minidress by

Massive Online Shopping Scam Racks Up 850,000 Victims

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , /

A group of bad actors — likely from China — is running a global cybercrime-as-a-service operation. It oversees a massive network of fake shopping websites that has conned more than 850,000 people in the United States and Europe into purchasing items, over the past three years, and the organization has tried to process more than $50 million in fraudulent orders.

The scam, called BogusBazaar by the researchers at German security research and consulting firm Security Research Labs (SRLabs), has included 75,000 false online shops with two goals: stealing credit card credentials from victims and processing never-fulfilled orders for expensive items through the fake websites.

“Both methods are sometimes used against the same victim in sequence: First, credit card data is harvested through a spoofed payment interface,” SRLabs consultant Matthias Marx wrote in a report. “The victim is then shown an error message and forwarded to a functioning payment gateway, which initiates a payment.”

As of last month, about 22,500 fake shopping sites were still active. Since 2021, the network has processed more than a million orders with an aggregated order volume of more than $50 million. Because not every order is successful, the overall financial loss from processing orders is
