15 Charm Necklaces to Achieve My Favorite Summer Accessory Trend
Bag charms may be getting lots of attention this summer, but you don't need a Labubu to stay on top of the latest accessory trends. Like so many beloved fads from my childhood (tankinis, jelly sandals, I could go on...), Y2k styles are having a major resurgence this season. But my personal favorite nostalgic trend that's taking over the season? Charm necklaces. Charm necklaces are basically a cheat code for giving your outfits more personality. Hear me out: on days when it's too hot to even think about wearing something other than a basic tank top, just pop on a strand of charms to spice up your look. And since you can find just about anything on a charm necklace these days (seashells! horses! pizza!), it's a fun way to show off your hobbies and interests. The best charm necklaces of the moment run the gamut from simple chains that you can personalize yourself to ornate layered strands pre-adorned with beads and baubles. Plus, I spotted styles that marry the season's most viral trends, like nautical fish charms for sardine girl summer and mixed metal pieces.

‘What It Feels Like For A Girl': Meet The Cast And Characters Of BBC's 'Visceral, Wild' New Drama
Since its resurgence, the Y2k wave has shown no signs of slowing down, be it in fashion and culture, and such is the case in BBC Three's latest drama, What It Feels Like For A Girl. The show is set in the early 2000s in Nottinghamshire, through the eyes of teenage Byron who is beginning to grapple with his sense of identity and sexuality in a small regressive town that doesn't seem to accept nor tolerate him. Byron yearns for life beyond what he knows. His journey of self-discovery and eventual transition into a woman begins when he becomes a part of 'The Fallen Divas', a queer group of teens who riotously and often dangerously, together, begin to come into their own through a series of alcohol and drug-fuelled escapades. Based on Paris Lees' coming-of-age memoir of the same title, the series has already been heralded as one of this year's leading drama - a title which is largely in part due to the series' cast ensemble. From breakout actors Ellis Howard, Laquarn Lewis and Hannah Jones to the more seasoned, including Michael Socha, we break down all there is to know about the cast and characters of What It Feels Like For A Girl. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE Who is Byron? The series' protagonist - a teenager living in a small town where no one seems to understand their gender expression and identity. That is until he meets the Fallen Divas, a queer group of friends who, together, are able to grow into their identities. Who is Ellis Howard? A breakout actor, Howard has previously starred in Red Rose, Romeo & Juliet and Catherine The Great Who is Lady Die? Big on fashion and style, Lady Die is one of the central members of the group, similar to Byron, she is very much ready for all things fun and wild. Who is Laquarn Lewis? An actor from Nottingham, Laquarn is best known for starring in the TV series Jamie Johnson. Who is Sasha? Another member of the group, Sasha can often come across as brash and aggressive, but is quite sensitive and caring, especially when it comes to her friends. Who is Hannah Jones? She is an actor, who made their debut on screen role in What It Feels Like For A Girl. Who is Dirty Damian? A member of The Fallen Divas, and similar to Sticky Nikki, he is one of the more well-behaved members of the group. Who is Adam Ali? He is an actor and director who is best known for appearing in Waterloo Road and Europa. Who is Sticky Nikki?

They are a singer, dancer and actor who has appeared in a number of on stage and screen projects including The Cereal Café at The Other Palace, Bat Out of Hell and The Revenge Files of Alistair Fury.

Olivia Rodrigo Proves an Unexpected Print Is Actually So Boho
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When you think of the boho aesthetic, which pieces come to mind? Perhaps a crocheted shawl, a billowy maxi dress, or over-the-knee boots. Pretty much every ensemble in the Chloé catalog works. On June 2, Olivia Rodrigo proved that with the right accessories, any Chloé creation can lean boho—even leopard-print pants. Just a few hours after landing in New York (in her signature Adidas Sambas, of course), Rodrigo hit Fish Cheeks in Manhattan's NoHo neighborhood to celebrate a friend's birthday. She deemed it the perfect occasion to toast an unexpectedly all-seasons neutral, leopard print, at the same time. Chloé velvet trousers featuring a Y2k low-rise and a bootcut flare hem were the star's pick. This wasn't your run-of-the-mill animal print endorsement, however. From there, Rodrigo upped the boho vibes with suede peep-toe pumps and a coordinating, buckle-heavy brown shoulder bag by Stand Oil. Perhaps inspired by Jennifer Lawrence, Maya Hawke, and Hailey Bieber (to name a few), she chose a slouchy style crafted from faux nubuck leather that aligns with the belt bag trend. View Deal View Deal To finish, Rodrigo popped on a cherry red Brandy Melville long-sleeve. Then, she opted for minimal jewelry—just a silver pendant necklace and matching stud earrings. Much like Miley Cyrus, Bieber, and Lawrence, Rodrigo is undeniably embracing her wild side right now. A few hours before meeting up with her friends, the "Vampire" singer sported another animal print at JFK airport. Alongside jeans and Adidas Sambas, Rodrigo carried a zebra shoulder bag from Rouje. Unlike other Rodrigo-approved purses, the beige suede bag is still available to shop. View Deal Rodrigo has kept a low profile this spring, but she's back in New York City for a highly anticipated performance: her headlining slot at the Governor's Ball festival on June 8. At this rate, she'll take the stage wearing another déjà vu-inducing animal print—or subverting an unexpected seasonal pattern. My money's on plaid or gingham.

Kylie Jenner's Favourite Studded Bikini Comes From This Secret Spanish Brand
Gimaguas, Costa Maxi Dress Gimaguas, Bow-Embellished Top Gimaguas, Luna Midi Skirt Gimaguas, Saona Panelled Trousers Gimaguas, Maxi Casilda Canvas Bag Gimaguas, Bailarina Studded Flats Gimaguas, Diane Mini Dress Gimaguas, Kite Mini Dress There's no polite way to put it: some countries are simply more proficient at summer dressing, thanks largely to their meteorological advantage. While we in the UK persist with a heatwave uniform that sits somewhere between festival chic and a Sienna Miller-era boho remix - part practicality, part party girl - those closer to the equator have mastered the art of beach-adjacent dressing that translates seamlessly to city pavements. Case in point: Gimaguas, the Spanish label currently enjoying cult status among Gen Z (Kylie Jenner included). And honestly? The hype tracks. Translating to 'twins', Gimaguas was founded in 2018 by the twin sisters Claudia and Sayana Durany in Barcelona, where they still run the brand today. Their collections - produced locally in collaboration with Spanish artisans - sit somewhere between homespun charm and something a bit more beach ready. What exactly does Gimaguas look like? Those fluent in fashion shorthand will clock the Gisele-at-the-beach, circa 2002 energy immediately. For everyone else: imagine the brand's aesthetic as an amalgamation of Y2k surfer boy falls for surfer girl, and they raid each other's wardrobes before heading to a beach rave in Ibiza. Or, put differently: think skimpy silhouettes (for her and for him), cheeky details, delicate fabrics, sparkle-strewn separates, the perfect baby tee, and a near-religious devotion to the nano mini. In recent years, Gimaguas has quietly cemented its status as a Gen Z favourite - thanks in no small part to its studded Franca shoulder bag (ubiquitous on Instagram) and more of the great studded stuff, courtesy of its collaboration with the flip flop heavyweight, Havaianas. Most recently, the brand has gained the Jenner stamp of approval, as the youngest Kardashian-Jenner sister was spotted in a studded bikini by the brand - algorithm-approved, bien sûr. ©Instagram / @kyliejenner So, if you're still finding yourself in the midst of piecing together your perfect summer wardrobe, might we suggest you take a closer look at this Spanish staple? Chances are, you will most definitely find something to upgrade your hot weather essentials, at - a piece of good news - surprisingly commendable prices. 1. Gimaguas, Costa Maxi Dress 2.
