This little floral number is a frolicking dress for sure. Whether you're skipping through a blooming meadow or heading off to work, Simpson's Ember maxi ruffle dress is the perfect pick for those looking to add some color to their closets. The dress features a slightly boxy fit, accompanied by ruffles throughout that create shape and volume.
Florals in shades of blue and purple come in clutch to offer the garment visual interest. Finally, the flouncy flared sleeves impart a laid-back touch. It's kind of giving 'Little House On The Prairie' in the best way. The price is also hard to beat at $17. It's a no-brainer for sure. We can envision this dress worn with a classic ballet flat in cream or baby pink along with minimalistic gold jewelry. If you're aiming for a more maximalist look, combat boots or chunky platform espadrilles might be the way to go.

A black mini dress with ballon sleeves and bow detailing.
Simple black dresses are a must-have for the warmer months. Little black dresses, or LBD for short, make for the perfect base to layer on all your more colorful pieces. You can truly wear a simple black dress a million different ways, and Simpson's Faeryn is no exception to this rule. Retailing for $14.84, this LBD is exceptional for many reasons.
For starters, the balloon sleeves create welcomed drama that diversifies the otherwise plain silhouette. Additionally, the bow detailing on the bodice, while subtle, offers a flirty twist to the classic LBD. Worn on its own, the Faeryn dress can stand tall. Paired with colorful accessories like neon pink pumps or a more casual pair of motocross boots, the style acts as a blank canvas for your wildest fashion dreams.

A bright pink maxi dress with a tie top and short sleeves.
While bright hues can be jarring and tricky to style, Simpson's Lexie maxi dress is extremely approachable. This piece is made of breezy hot pink cotton fabric accompanied by cap sleeves and a v-shaped neckline.
The dress' boxy nature is exceptionally flattering, especially when accompanied by the tiered skirt and elasticized waist. Additionally, the tie detailing fixed to the bodice allows the wearer to play with how they'd like the bodice to sit, creating a customizable fit.
All of these details act to offset the bright hue by introducing simple but effective design choices that work to flatter the body. While we think this specific hue would look great on just about anyone, the Lexie would look beautiful on darker complexions. Try styling this dress with your favorite lifestyle sneakers for a more laid-back look. Or go for a date night-approved look and dress things up with nude kitten heels.

A white boxy maxi-length dress with spaghetti straps.
Simpson's Trapeze dress is super forgiving. Think ahead to those days when you're tired and kind of bloated, we've been there too don't worry. This dress features a boxy construction, thin spaghetti straps and a square neckline that instantly makes the wearer look more put together, even on those off days. We're talking structured not shapeless.
The billowing skirt and button detailing are also nice touches too. Plus the stark white colorway is extremely versatile. Keeping with those chill and comfy vibes, we can see this dress worn with a flat metallic sandal or flirty ballet flats. In the mood to go out? This dress can also transform in the blink of an eye with help from gladiator sandals or a funky mule in vibrant hues that offset the dress' neutral colorway.
$36.00

A midi-length dress in a denim hue and a form-fitted bodice.
If you're ready to take on summer shopping, the Nicolette dress is a great place to start. It is a stand-out in Simpson's collection mainly due to its construction. Retailing for $36.00, this piece, unlike the other picks on this list, is midi length and features a drop waist, no sleeves and a sweetheart neckline. It is reminiscent of a milkmaid style, especially thanks to the smocking at the back and tie detailing on the bodice. The denim hue is also unique in that it is overtly summer-centric, without all the colorful prints.
The skirt is exceedingly whimsical, featuring textural pleating and pockets for a utilitarian touch. Sizing options currently range from XS to M. For my vertically challenged friends, we recommend combatting the midi length with help from platform footwear that will ultimately elongate your silhouette. Think platform mules or open-toed wedges in tan hues.

19 Millennials Are Sharing Things That Were Common In The '90s And 2000s That Would "Baffle" Anyone Under The Age Of 25
As time passes and technology evolves, there are certain trends and habits that simply fade out of popularity. And there's no better example than those of the '90s and early 2000s... That's why when Redditor u/ToeKnown9863 asked, "What's a '90s/2000s trend that would baffle kids today?" Thousands of Gen X'ers and millennials shared the good, the bad, and the ugly of Y2K trends. From burning CDs to Pogs — here are 19 of their best responses: If you can think of Y2K trends that would leave the younger generations speechless, feel free to tell us about them using this anonymous form! 1."Downloading music off Limewire to iTunes, running to Walmart while it downloads, buying blank CDs, and burning them once it's downloaded. Then, thinking of a cool name for your new CD." "I spent three days downloading the movie 300 while it was still in theaters. Burned it to a DVD, made some Jiffy Pop, and bought a Code Red Mountain Dew. I popped in my freshly burned DVD that Friday night and thought how awesome it was that I was going to watch a movie that was still playing at the theater down the street. Then the movie started, and I remembered thinking that it looked cheap for a Hollywood movie. Suddenly, a naked guy walked onto the screen, followed by three others...I then realized I had spent three days downloading a dirty movie." —u/Daguvry Related: 2."Playing literally one video game for the entire summer, no online walkthroughs. If you wanted a hint, you needed to buy a paper guidebook, hope your friend knew the tricks, or call a 900 number for help." "My mom had to block 900 numbers because I racked up a huge bill trying to beat a King's Quest game." —u/violent_potatoes 3."Trapper keepers confuse me now, yet I literally screamed to high heaven to get my mom to buy me the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles one." "For those who are unaware: a Trapper Keeper is a binder. Yes, we '90s kids were judging coolness by the kind of binder we had." —u/WitheredRosePetals82 4."Not just having a landline, but SHARING a landline." "Everyone in the house had the same number. If you called, anyone in the house might pick up. If you were calling your crush, you had to be prepared to negotiate with suspicious/hostile family members, but that was somewhat understandable. It got really weird when you had adult roommates! Suddenly, you're the social secretary for your popular, ladies' man roommate, trying to explain that you don't know where your other roommate is to a very angry woman, and ducking calls from a collection agency. And you'd have to collaborate on the voicemail message. Yes, there was only one voicemail/answering machine for the entire household, too. We used to record elaborate and hilarious messages every two weeks, sometimes with running jokes. It was a wild time that I actually don't miss." —u/haysoos2 5."Pogs: We just collected little cardboard circles to play a dumb, boring game." —u/LouBarlowsDisease "Yeah, it was hot for about a year, then it was GONE as if it never existed. People weren't even talking about Pogs anymore. I think my dad might still have my old slammers in storage somewhere." —u/nmezib 6."Buying ringtones." —u/overfiend1976 "And ringbacks! I didn't know how they were popular, but in the early aughts, my girlfriend paid for a service that would play a heavily compressed MP3 to the person calling you, instead of the regular dialing sound prior to answering the phone." —u/markh100 Related: 7."There was no 'Google Maps.' You had a huge book sitting in your glove box. If you didn't know the way, you had to literally chart it and try to follow it. Or just memorize the whole thing." —u/MightBeTrollingMaybe "I used to help my grandpa navigate his RV when I'd spend summers with my grandparents as a kid. Pulling out the atlas because he wasn't sure where to go was always a blast. I think that those experiences and video games are why my spatial awareness and direction finding are as good as they are. Now, when I look up a new place on Google Maps, I'll street view the final bit just to know what to look for. I've had people act like my ability to know where I'm going is witchcraft." —u/Silbyrn_ 8."Chain emails: I'd be so embarrassed to do that today..." "I used to fill out these long 'About Me' Q&As because I thought people were interested in reading my 50 answers." —u/Advanced-Koala2559 9."Having to wait a week for 10 photos to be processed and printed." "When we would get them back, they were mostly unidentifiable, but we were just excited to have one 'good' picture that was only slightly blurry." —u/Lia_Delphine 10."If you missed a new episode of a TV show, you just missed it." "Your only chance to see it again was when it became a rerun the next season. There was always a showtime that showed old episodes, where new ones aired during the season. The Simpsons aired new episodes on Sundays and had many airtimes during the week, showing old episodes, so you waited until the episode you missed was added to the rotation. This changed in the 2000s when entire seasons were released on DVD box sets. Then you could watch without having to wait for it in the rotation." —u/Embarrassed_Bath5148 Related: 11."Dialing *69 so you could figure out the phone number that just called you. No, we didn't all have Caller ID, and yes, it cost money." "And yes, they used 69." —u/EmperorSexy 12."Having to run to the bathroom/kitchen/do chores during a commercial break and having a sibling yell, 'It's back on,' so you could return to the TV in time." "Additionally, knowing what time shows were premiering, so you knew to do your chores before then, so you could watch undisturbed." —u/ConsistentCollar2694 13."Waiting for songs to come on the radio so you could record them on a cassette tape, and getting mad if the DJ talked over the intro. Kids today will never know the struggle of timing it perfectly and still ending up with the DJ's voice at the beginning." —u/RudeResearcher4761 "I still have one or two songs in my entire playlist that I transferred over from physical media that have radio hosts speaking over the beginning and end, and I can't bring myself to ever find the proper non-radio versions. They are just a part of the song now, and it will sound weird without them." —u/Onigumo-Shishio 14."The simple act of being bored while waiting in a doctor's office, traveling, or attending family parties, etc." "There was no nightmare rectangle keeping us preoccupied." —u/ShedMontgomery 15."When swing music and dancing went from nonexistent to full-blown movement from 1996–1998. That trend was gone in a flash." —u/Coffee-N-Kettlebells "Zoot-suit riot baby! It was a very unique three years in music. Best of all worlds, even our movie soundtracks were amazing." —u/Intrepid_Kiwi_7995 16."Buying a magazine to know what will be on TV this week." —u/Parallel-Unicorn "On that same note: Everyone tuning in and watching a show or movie at the same time, besides a live sports broadcast, you don't see anything like that nowadays because of streaming. I remember when a popular TV show's new season premiered, and everyone would be watching the exact same thing the night it aired, or when a new Disney Channel movie aired, everyone at school would be watching it that night." —u/kakapoopoopeepeeshir Related: 17."Riding to a friend's house to see if they could hang out: If they couldn't, you were just like, 'Okay, I'll start my 2-mile bike ride back home to find something else to do.'" —u/ColdIndependence5820 "I lived in the Midwest for a few years in high school, in a little town a few miles from one of those rail-to-trail bike trails. In the summer, a bunch of us would ride something like 15 miles each an ice cream cone. But at least it was something to do." —u/absolutenobody 18."When TLC was actually 'The Learning Channel.' It was like a no-frills version of the Discovery Channel, except it came standard on cable. You had to pay extra for Discovery." "But you were still able to learn about Egyptian pharaohs, cave murals, origins of the human species, aliens, and other cool stuff. Then it caught the reality TV virus." —u/vsysio 19."Living in the moment: Because there were no smartphones, no one cared about documenting every moment of their lives for likes and views. And if we did, we used a digital or disposable camera." "Not only was it freeing, but none of the dumb things we did were preserved online…unless we spent hours uploading them onto Facebook." —u/Dry-Subject-718 Did you remember any of these trends/habits? What are some other aspects of the '90s and 2000s that would shock kids today? Tell us about them in comments or answer anonymously using the form below!

28 Modern Beauty Trends Older Women Hate
Recently, we asked the older women of the BuzzFeed Community what modern beauty, hair, and skincare trends bother them, and they had a lot to say. Here are current trends that they absolutely can't stand*. "Why do people wear pimple patches out in that draws more attention to the fact you have spots?!!" "Brazilian butt lifts." "Threads. There are better ways to stimulate collagen that don't involve putting strings in your face. Barbed threads do not work at lifting either, and it is not possible to defy the laws of physics. Source: every surgeon I've ever talked to and myself. I did them in my disaster." "Wild fingernails, especially really long ones. I'm all for taking care of nails and have nothing against a good seriously, how do you function with full-on talons? I'm just waiting for the day I see two-inch-long nails tipped with googly eyes trying to text, and it sounds like maracas." "Fake freckles." "Less invasive and permanent than the others, but I think we're all going to make fun of the 'cold girl' makeup (using blush on the nose)." "The brushed-up, thick eyebrows. Why do you want to look like a startled werewolf?" "Lip blushing. It reminds me of the white permanent eyeliner trend." "Buccal fat removal. It can look cute now, but at almost 40 now, I'm glad I had chubby cheeks for my entire youth." "Overwhelming hair extensions." "The pressure to remove all female body hair, except for that around your eyes and on top of your head, has GOT to stop! You do you, but I think that hair is there for a reason. Ridiculous how women are pressured to remove almost all of it!" Relatedly... "This isn't something I ever speak about, but I can't stand how much time, effort, and money young women put into grooming down below. Can natural be a thing again, please?" "Veneers. Our skeletons are not perfect, so why do we obsess over having 'perfect' teeth? Just go to the dentist once a year and brush your teeth twice a day. I promise your teeth will be okay." "Twenty-step skincare routines." "Ozempic." "Fake tans. Why do women want to look like orange blow-up dolls? Please! Tone it down a bit and be more subtle and natural." "I cannot believe we don't post real photos of ourselves anymore. Now, everyone's photos are completely edited by TikTok to change their face or are AI-enhanced. When did we start to feel uncomfortable with our own face?" "The overuse of highlight and contour makeup. This is already gone/going out of style, but I think people are going to look at it like I used to look at old photos of women with blue eyeshadow." "Why do women glue big, fuzzy, caterpillar-like eyelashes on their eyelids? It doesn't look natural, let alone good. I think they'll look back at pictures of themselves and think, 'Why did I ever think that was a good idea?'" "I see a lot of teeny tiny upturned noses in pictures online, so IDK how much of that is just filtering, but I think that looks very odd and will look even stranger when they're older if it's real." "The trend I find most disturbing is the obsession younger people seem to have with looking like everyone else, to an unhealthy degree. They all have the same fake-looking eyebrows, fake eyelashes, inflated lips, Botox-ed foreheads…it's sad. Perfection is often NOT what makes someone beautiful. What makes someone naturally beautiful can often be a feature that's unusual and different from everyone else. I think all the people trying to look a certain way are actually destroying their own unique looks." "I always think the 'circle' lip trend of filling in your cupid's bow with lip liner is going to be looked back on weirdly. I can't stand this trend." "I've never been one to do something just because it's trendy, so I say do what you want. I may silently judge you because I think it looks dumb, but you're not hurting me, so go for it. But this obsession with skincare when you haven't even hit puberty yet needs to stop. You have a baby face; you don't need 25 different products on your face." And... "Women in their teens and 20s using anti-aging serums. I'm in my 50s and look 10 years younger. My secret? I used sunscreen in my 20s, that's all!" "Microblading." "Middle parts. Unless your face is perfectly symmetrical (yours is not, I guarantee you), it will accentuate every single imbalance." "I'll never understand bleached eyebrows, but go ahead, I guess." And finally... "Is 'everything' a valid answer? I've worked in the beauty industry for five years, and I hate it. The basics of beauty are a face wash, a treatment if you have an issue that you want fixed, a moisturizer, and SPF. These 10+ step skincare routines are so wasteful and unnecessary. I also cannot stand the people who glorify plastic surgery, fillers/injections, hair and lash extensions, fake tans, long gel/acrylic nails, etc. It's now radical and extremely rare to be authentic. If you're changing everything about yourself, there's obviously a deep issue that needs to be worked on that a needle, some acrylic nails, and extensions won't fix. I work with women who spend their money on products, injections, extensions, and nails, and can't afford insurance, gas, or groceries. It's so absurd to me. I don't like a lot about how I look, but at least it's 100% me." What modern beauty trends can you not stand? Let us know in the comments or via this anonymous form.

Hozier's Historic Smash Has Finally Been Replaced At No. 1
Hozier started his career by releasing one of the biggest rock hits in recent memory. 'Take Me to Church' launched him into superstardom all around the world, and then for many years, it seemed as if it would remain his only major global smash. In 2024, the Irish singer-songwriter returned with 'Too Sweet,' which brought him back to charts globally and even helped him rise to new heights on several Billboard rankings. After a historic run on one of the company's rock rankings, 'Too Sweet' finally steps back, as Hozier is replaced by one of the hottest newcomers in music. Sombr Jumps to No. 1 Sombr leads the Hot Rock Songs chart, Billboard's list of the most consumed rock tracks in the United States. His single 'Undressed' surges from the runner-up spot to No. 1 in its twentieth frame on the tally. 'Undressed' Replaces 'Too Sweet' at No. 1 'Undressed' replaces 'Too Sweet' atop the Hot Rock Songs chart. Hozier's smash has now spent 72 frames on the genre-specific ranking — 70 of which have been in first place. That's a historic run on any Billboard roster, and even if the tune never returns, Hozier will likely forever claim one of the longest-running rock No. 1s of all time. Hozier's Smash Lives Inside the Top 10 'Too Sweet' remains a top 10 hit on five different Billboard charts at the moment, even 72 frames into its lifespan on each and every one of them. The track sits highest on the Hot Rock Songs list and also appears on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, Hot Alternative Songs, Alternative Streaming Songs, and Rock Streaming Songs charts, coming in at No. 4 on the first two rosters and Nos. 8 and 10 on the latter two, respectively. Sombr Scores the Two Biggest Rock Hits Sombr has a lot to celebrate when it comes to the Hot Rock Songs chart. Not only does 'Undressed' become a No. 1, but 'Back to Friends' follows closely, as it improves from No. 3 to second place, meaning he controls the highest two spaces on the same tally. Amazingly, of the 25 spaces on the Hot Rock Songs list, Sombr fills four. In addition to his top 10s, new single '12 to 12' leaps from No. 16 to No. 13 in its second frame on the ranking, while 'We Never Dated' reenters at No. 25.
