This Is The Perfect Throw-On Dress, So I'm Buying It In Every Colour Before It Sells Out
When it comes to a capsule wardrobe, versatility is key. That's why, every time I add a new piece to my clothing rotation, it has to pair effortlessly with my stalwart staples, such as my favourite suede jacket or my go-to biker boots. Lately, I've fallen head over heels for a particularly versatile mini dress from Free People. Why? Not only is it versatile enough to work perfectly with my existing favourites, but it also doubles as a blouse and even works as nightwear. Originally designed as part of the Free People Intimately collection, the In This Groove Mini Slip dress features romantic lace detailing and a boho tiered design. One scroll through your chosen social media platform and you'll see a plethora of fashion lovers wearing the mini slip in its carousel of available colours, from Country Air (a crisp white) to striking Poppy Red. For my part, I'm half tempted to snap up the Limon Ice iteration just before my trip to Seville later this month. 1. In This Groove Mini Slip, Tofu Price: £108 Shop the off-white tofu version of the slip dress and pair it with brown cowboy boots for a touch of western charm. The ubiquity of the Free People slip dress shouldn't come as a surprise, given its ability to be worn both off and on the couch. Lately, thanks to the likes ofIf Only If, we've seen an increase in well-dressed women wearing nightgown-adjacent dresses beyond the bedroom. This can loosely be traced back to the runway, with Chloé endorsing loose-fitting, lace dresses for spring/summer 2025. Of course, its versatility doesn't end there. Plenty of fashion influencers have chosen to style the frothy dress as a blouse, layering the slip mini on top of a boxy white t-shirt and flared, noughties-style jeans. To finish the outfit, wear with a pair of tassel-style loafers or bold retro trainers for a pop of colour. Then, accessorise accordingly: wear a headscarf for a chic twist or opt for square lens sunglasses for a cool-girl touch. Alternatively, wear it on its own as intended, and inject western charm with a pair of cowboy boots. For errand runs, sling a Dragon Diffusion tote bag over your shoulder, and for dinner plans, opt for a small, stylish clutch such as the Fendi Spy bag. For now, though, shop the Free People dress below, before it sells out. 2. In This Groove Mini Slip, Olive Price: £108 For a muted pop of colour, opt for the olive version. Layer with gold necklaces and wear with gold rings and bangles. The chunkier, the better. 3. In This Groove Mini Slip, Parfait Price: £108 The parfait pink iteration is ultra feminine and will work well with knitwear once the weather turns cooler. 4. In This Groove Mini Slip, Limon Ice Price: £108 Have a last-minute summer trip planned? The Limon ice iteration of the mini slip is especially refreshing. 5. In This Groove Mini Slip, Poppy Red Price: £108 Bright and bold, the poppy red version is a great choice for the summer months. 6. In This Groove Mini Slip, Aloe Wash Price: £108 This cool green colour is great for trips abroad. The only accessory you'll need is a mint chocolate chip ice cream. 7. In This Groove Mini Slip, Black Price: £108 Keep it classic and chic with the black version of the slip dress. Pair with cool-girl leather look jackets or suede blazers.

Many in the sunburnt country still like the look from feeling the burn
A good tan was once the ultimate look, until research linked bronzed bodies with cancer and the beach look became uncool for generations. Now despite all the known risks, in a new era Australians are recklessly worshipping the sun. More than one in four young adults are getting sunburnt and rising numbers expose themselves to high levels of cancer-causing UV radiation with little protection. According to the Cancer Institute NSW's latest Sun Protection Behaviours Report, almost 26 per cent of 18- to 24-year-olds reported being sunburnt in the previous four weeks, more than any older generation and significantly higher than the 14.8 per cent reporting sunburn overall. The survey of 11,297 adults in 2022 found that almost half of young adults reported frequent sun exposure (48.7 per cent versus 41.4 per cent in the overall population), and they were less likely to wear protective clothing, sun-safe hats and sunglasses. The Herald 's health editor Kate Aubusson reports social media has attracted new sunbathers, with influencers proudly displaying their tan lines and sunburnt skin. They also monitor UV ratings to time their sunbathing sessions for maximum UV exposure, and market apps that tailor tanning regimens powered by AI. The place of sunscreens once seemed obvious, but TikTok influencers somehow made SPF lose its shine. The finding last month by consumer advocacy group Choice that some of Australia's most popular sunscreens fell short of skin protection, with 16 of 20 products tested not meeting SPF claims on the packaging, has not helped either. Loading The 1981 Slip, Slop, Slap campaign was the start of many similar campaigns to combat skin cancer across the country. The initial campaign played a key role in the dramatic shift in sun protection attitudes and behaviour over several decades. Yet Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world, with an estimated 169,000 cases diagnosed in 2024. More than 2000 Australians die of skin cancer every year. The stark statistic and the undeniable link to the sun and sunlamps seems to have evaded most young Australians. Nationally, Cancer Council research found nine in 10 Australians aged 18 to 30 intentionally or unintentionally sunbathe. Australian Bureau of Statistics data shows that 24 per cent of young women aged 15 to 24 were more likely to try to get a suntan than 15.3 per cent of young men from the same cohort.

Entrepreneur UK's London 100: Slip
Industry: Fintech Slip was founded by Tash Grossman after a frustrating experience in a returns queue without a paper receipt. This moment sparked a mission to transform how retailers engage with customers. Founded in 2022, Slip turns paper receipts into smart online marketing tools, enhancing post-purchase experiences and bridging online and offline retail. With 70% of global commerce still in-store, Slip helps retailers unlock valuable, underused data. Retailers like JD Sports, ALDO, and Beyond Retro use Slip to drive loyalty, engagement, and measurable ROI, all while creating seamless experiences for their customers. As a business led by a young female founder in a largely male-dominated tech and retail space, Grossman is passionate about showing that you don't have to fit a mold to lead. She champions building businesses on her own terms and empowering more women to lead, launch, and own their space. "What keeps me up at night is knowing that retailers get how game-changing this is, and yet so many are still doing nothing about it. The paper receipt is literally lost customer data. It's a missed opportunity, every single time, to turn a transaction into something meaningful."
