In case you haven't heard, all the cool girls are going gaga for gingham this summer. If you're not going in on checked bedding or curtains, you're incorporating the picnic-inspired print into your look. Or, if you're like Jennifer Lopez, you're proudly wearing gingham from top to bottom—and straight-up slaying while doing so. On Mother's Day, the "On The Floor" singer took to Instagram to wish "everyone love, laughter, peace, joy and happiness," while stunning in a gorgeous gingham dress from Reformation (one of PureWow readers' and editors' favorite fashion brands). Unfortunately, the waist-snatching Tagliatelle linen dress (with a cutesy lace trim and corset-style bodice) is sold out in the pattern, but that doesn't mean you can't get her look. There are *a ton* of similar styles up for grabs at Quince, Amazon and even Nordstrom if you want to nail this summer's cutest trend—and look just as good as in the process. Here are five gingham-print dresses that won't break the bank or disappoint this summer. Want to know which buzzy products are *really* worth buying? Sign up for our shopping newsletter to uncover our favorite finds. Quince proved that you can never go wrong with a fit-and-flare dress, and this timeless-yet-trendy style hits it out of the park with its A-line silhouette. The square neckline is universally flattering, while the smocked back panel and adjustable straps guarantee a comfortable (and customizable) fit for any bust size. Add to that the fact that it's made from a lightweight and hypoallergenic linen material and features two deep front pockets, and how can you resist? Did I mention it's less than $100? $80 at tuckernuck Amazon Amazon is hiding one of the *cutest* checked dresses I've seen yet. The best part (besides the adjustable wide straps and smocked back, that is)? Well, believe it or not, the figure-flattering style is available for under $60! But that's not the only reason this buyer is obsessed: "I love all the choices they made with this dress—the slightly structured fabric that just seems to lay right and doesn't bunch up, the squared neckline, the slightly wider adjustable spaghetti straps and the girly lace trim at the bust." What they didn't mention is that it comes in multiple colorways, so you can go for a subtle hue like or embrace your inner Dorothy in a vivid blue. There's no place like Amazon... $57 at amazon Nordstrom Want to go full-on picnic core this summer? Say no more. This red gingham dress is guaranteed to turn heads, whether you're setting out your picnic blanket in the park or sipping mimosas on the patio at brunch. And thanks to its breathable blend of linen and rayon, it's totally worthy of all those warm-weather outings and then some. The lace details on the neckline and waist make it even more of a dream come true, though what I really can't get over is how good the cut is. $99 at nordstrom Saks Fifth Avenue Well, whaddya know? The same brand behind Lopez's frock is also behind this linen beauty. Just like it's designed to check-print perfection with ladder-embroidered trimming that makes it even more flattering and feminine. But is it as comfortable as it is elegant? Given that it features fixed straps, a smocked back panel *and* a concealed back zip closure, I don't doubt that it'll fit like a glove. And, yes, it has pockets! $298 at Saks Fifth Avenue Tuckernuck According to one happy buyer, this adorable midi has a "timeless gingham print [that's] elevated by a slight shimmer in the fabric," so you better believe it's anything but basic. But that's not all you have to look forward to if you make the splurge. The breezy seersucker frock boasts side seam pockets, elastic shirred cap sleeves and an empire waist that hugs at just the right place, so I have a feeling it'll make you look as good as you feel in it. $168 at tuckernuck 14 Zara Dresses You'll Want to See (& Buy) for Yourself PureWow's editors and writers have spent more than a decade shopping online, digging through sales and putting our home goods, beauty finds, wellness picks and more through the wringer—all to help you determine which are actually worth your hard-earned cash.

Grab Your Gingham! The Picnic Core Aesthetic Is This Summer's Most Fun Fashion Trend

Yahoo Inc. may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Read the original article on Purewow. If someone told me months ago that one of the summer's hottest trends would be inspired by a picnic blanket, I wouldn't believe it. But leave it to a flock of fashionistas (from Jennifer Lopez to Sarah Jessica Parker) to make me want to add gingham-print styles—from one-and-done dresses like this BDG Juliana dress from Urban Outfitters to pull-on shorts like this Seersucker pair from Free People—to my regular rotation. Yep, it's official: The picnic core aesthetic has arrived, and it's your perfect excuse to not just host a produce-packed park day, but dress like one, too. Because who could resist a flowy frock in a fun fruity print or posh pants dotted with tantalizing tomatoes? I certainly can't, and neither should you, so here's everything you need to know—and shop. Think of it as the Americana answer to the Euro Girl Summer vibe. While the niche-but-growing trend (born of TikTok, of course) is inspired by traditional picnic blankets (and, no doubt, a touch of 1950s nostalgia), it's not just about wearing feminine silhouettes and checkered patterns. In addition to mixing gingham pieces into your regular rotation, leaning into food-inspired fashion with fruity designs and edible motifs is *highly* encouraged. It's playful, flirty and fit for anyone who wants to look and feel like a snack this summer. Whether you want to go full picnic core in head-to-toe gingham or prefer to ease your way into the most fun trend since the horse girl aesthetic, all you have to do is add some check-print and food-themed styles to your wardrobe. You know, like a mini dress that looks like a picnic spread, or a checked midi skirt and blouse that you can effortlessly pair with other pieces in your closet. That said, I hope you're ready to get picnic-perfect this season, because I've rounded up 12 styles that'll whet your style appetite (all for less than $200, I might add). Want to know which buzzy products are *really* worth buying? Sign up for our shopping newsletter to uncover our favorite finds. Urban Outfitters Why settle for a basic gingham look when you can go for a full picnic spread? I'll wait, but trust me when I say that this picnic-themed dress (featuring an array of fruits, flowers and even vino) won't stay in stock for long. So, here's what you need to know: The smocked, strapless style has an empire waist and the most adorable bow-tie back. It's also made of 100 percent cooling cotton that's perfect for hot days But perhaps even more important is the fact that the machine-washable mini is said to stay up on small and large chests alike—no, really, just peep the reviews! $59 at Urban Outfitters Anthropologie Buyers are obsessed with this snack-inspired shift dress, and it's not just because the fruit-and-floral pattern looks good enough to eat. As one reviewer raves, "It flatters anyone's body shape." Between its stretchy blend of polyester and elastane and its figure-skimming fit, I don't doubt it for a minute. Of course, there's one way to find out, so I suggest adding this picnic- *and* vacation-ready style to your cart, stat. $148 at Anthropologie Anthropologie This tiered skirt will give you a taste of what this trend brings to the table—pun intended. Just don't be surprised if you start wearing it on repeat thanks to the flattering fitted waist, convenient side pockets and breezy blend of cotton and polyester. It can even be dressed up for the office, vacation or your Valentine's date next year! Who knew gingham could be so versatile? $80 at Anthropologie Tuckernuck Ever since Jennifer Lopez signed off on gingham, fashionistas have been lining up to buy dresses in the trendy pattern. Little do they know, one of the prettiest picks is hiding at Tuckernuck for less than $150. With its effortless elastic bodice and gorgeous gathered skirt, this timeless sundress is bound to become one of your go-to pieces this summer—and the one after that, and the one after that. Want to take it to the next level? Pair it with a straw hat and raffia bag à la and you'll be ready for a picnic in no time. $148 at Tuckernuck Mark & Graham You can't have a picnic (or a picnic-inspired outfit) without a classic basket to go with it. I'm swooning over this scallop-trimmed beauty from Mark & Graham, which is made of solid and structured woven wicker and comes complete with an insertable insulated bag that'll keep all of your al fresco bites fresh on the go. The zip cooler is totally removable, though, so you can ditch it for the day if you just want to carry the basket as your handbag like French icon Jane Birkin. Très fabuleux! $129 at mark & graham Reformation Fact: Tomato girl summer walked so the picnic core aesthetic can run. And these tomato-printed pants—made of lightweight linen—are proof. You can don 'em as a singular statement or complete the outfit with the matching top, especially if you want to look picnic perfect at your next summer gathering. $198 at Reformation Free People These "perfectly patterned" pull-on shorts deserve a spot in your summer capsule wardrobe. Why? The real question is, why not? Not only are the cute cotton boxers great for lounging thanks to their effortless and easy fit, but you can wear them for almost any outdoor occasion, whether you're actually going on a picnic or running errands around town. They're also machine-washable, so you can wear them again and again and again (and trust me, you will). $58 at Free People Revolve As perfect for wine tastings in Europe as it is for brunch dates in NYC, this flowy cotton and viscose midi has high potential to become a summer fave, especially for all my maximalist girlies. Obviously, the fruity print is the main attraction, but that's not the only reason you should buy this beautifully bold style. One reviewer said that she didn't even need to wear a bra with it because the bust kept her so supported (shout-out to those adjustable crisscross straps!). In other words, this picnic-approved pick is fruit, flirty and functional. $159 at Revolve Zappos Whether you go gingham from head to toe, or simply want to add a touch of the trend to your ensemble, you'll be glad to have these Steve Madden slides at the ready. They have a low heel that should be plenty walkable for a stroll through the park, along with the most adorable brown gingham pattern that's versatile enough to match with other neutrals. Just slip them on and go! $100 at zappos Target Yes, Target is coming through with affordable styles that nail the aesthetic, including this blue gingham blouse that can be yours for less than $25. Featuring a V-neckline, flutter sleeves, a smocked back *and* a peplum hem, it's hard not to fall in love with at first sight. I'll let one buyer tell it: "I absolutely love this shirt. The fabric is textured, and it feels really nice...I think this blouse looks elevated and more expensive than what it really costs." Want to complete the look for less than $50? Say no more. Add the matching skirt to your cart and prepare to wear this trendy fit on repeat. $22 at Target You'll be feeling peachy keen and ready for a sunny soirée in this best-selling midi that buyers can't stop talking about. It's made of a "crisp, customer-favorite cotton poplin that's airy and lightweight with just the right amount of structure," according to the brand. It also has a square neckline, flowy skirt and smocking in the back so you can bet you'll look snatched but stay comfy. With that in mind, what more can you really ask for? (Well, besides an actual peach to snack on.) $148; $84 at Quince You can never go wrong with a linen pants during the summertime, and these lightweight bottoms hit the picnic core aesthetic out of the park with their retro look and classic gingham print.

Couple Quoted $500 for Dog's Sedated Nail Trim, Come up With Hilarious Plan

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When a couple were quoted a hefty $500 by their veterinarian for a sedated pet nail trim, they decided to take matters—and clippers—into their own hands, one paw at a time. The dog's owner, known as @lilkittyrose on TikTok, shared a short video to the platform on May 5, jokingly implying that the pair will be trimming their pets' nails themselves, one nail at a time. An overlaid text on the clip added more context: "Our vet quoted us $500 for a sedated nail trim…1 nail per nap it is," while the caption read: "My poor baby." Viewers on TikTok were able to see a man carefully trimming the dog's claw while they snoozed soundly beneath a blanket on the couch. Since it was posted, the 15-second clip has been viewed over 4.1 million times and has racked up more than 534,000 likes, with plenty of TikTok users chiming in with laughter, sympathy, and similar stories. "CVT [certified veterinary technician] here! If you can do this, DO IT! This is one of the best ways to reduce stress [and] anxiety for nail trims," one viewer said. "One toe at a time, don't force it, don't rush. "Over time you may be able to do more than one toe, before you know it you'll be trimming a whole paw! Definitely a treat after too, keep up the fantastic parenting guys." "$30 hanging harness from Amazon, trust," another added. "I have to feed my Rottweiler a baby carrot per nail so he's too busy snacking to get mad," a third viewer said. "Buy a second pair of clippers and you each do one so you can get two at a time," another added. "$500 is way too expensive, ask at another place," another said. The video's runaway popularity highlights a growing sentiment among American pet owners: veterinary care is becoming prohibitively expensive. The price of urban veterinarian services rose by 7.6 percent between 2023 and 2024, with states like Maine and Georgia seeing the sharpest increase in veterinary costs, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Findings from Florida-based pet insurance company Spot Pet found that Maine saw a 21 percent rise in veterinary costs between 2023 and 2024, while Georgia followed closely with a 20 percent rise.
