| '90 Days Fiance' Colt Johnson Selling Ex Larissa's Wedding Dress for $500 - TMZ Posted: 19 Dec 2019 06:43 AM PST  Getty CompositeOf all the famous TV wedding dresses out there -- from Monica's on "Friends" to Aunt Becky's on "Full House" -- the one that tops them all is "90 Day Fiance" star Larissa Lima's ... at least according to her ex-husband, who's trying to hawk it online. Colt Johnson's listed an ad for the dress Larissa wore on their wedding day, touting it as a piece of television memorabilia "on par with Dorthys [sic] ruby slippers and back to the future delorean."  Colt Johnson/FanBoundHe calls it the "one and only famous wedding dress" worn by his ex-wife, and get this ... it can be yours for only $500. Considering the average wedding dress cost in the U.S. is $1,000, this is quite a steal for a television-worn wedding dress more coveted than ones worn on shows like "Friends," "Gilmore Girls," "Sex and the City," "Jane the Virgin" or "Game of Thrones" ... according to Colt, of course.  As for why he's trying to unload it ... you may recall the couple had a very tumultuous 7-month marriage. As we reported, Colt filed for divorce from Larissa back in January just hours after she was busted for domestic violence -- her third such arrest -- for allegedly punching him in the face when she found out he had purchased porn.  Johnson was left with a bloody lip, and not long after ... Colt's mom reportedly paid the divorce filing fee so he can end the marriage. Perhaps he's trying to pay Mom back.  |
| 8 Best Teen Stores - Popular Teen Shopping Websites - GoodHousekeeping.com Posted: 19 Dec 2019 02:22 PM PST Teenagers know exactly what they want, whether parents like it or not. And with all the physical and social changes during this tricky stage in life, it's best to just let them express their personal style in whatever way feels right. For the teen on the VSCO girl bandwagon, it might mean oversized T-shirt dresses, Birkenstocks, and puka shell necklaces. Teen boys typically gravitate toward too-cool-for-school graphic tees and joggers that, in most parent's opinions, look like pajamas. Either way, make a trip to these teen stores — online or in-person — to find the most up-to-date (read: coolest) clothing and accessories. And since there's a chance that mom and dad are footing the bill, we made sure to include a number of affordable shopping websites because, well, parents still have prom expenses to worry about. H&MWith lots of styles and sizes to choose from, H&M is one of the best places to stock up on runway-inspired pieces at a wallet-friendly price.     Urban OutfittersEven the hard-to-please VSCO girl will find something that's worth her paycheck. With fashions for everyone, Urban Outfitters remains one of the trendiest one-stop shops out there, especially if your teen is into scrunchies, high-waisted jeans, and graphic tees.     American Eagle OutfittersA leader in the body positivity movement, American Eagle Outfitters carries affordable styles in a wide array of sizes, ranging from XXS - XXL and 00-24 in women, and XXS - XL and 26-48 in men. The same is true for its sister brand Aerie, which enforces "Real You Sizing" to encourage people of all shapes and sizes to embrace the fact that "feelings change, moods change, and bodies change."     TargetA trip to Target is already in your weekly rotation, but now you have another excuse: The do-it-all store carries a variety of clothes and accessories that teens and parents will both love (a true victory). The teen boy's selection is fairly limited, but girls have tons of different collections to choose from, including Wild Fable, Xhilaration, and Colsie.     UniqloWhen it comes to fashion, most teens are concerned with how Instagrammable their look is. Parents? They just care about warmth. Uniqlo covers all the bases with their expansive range of basics, including their cult-favorite ultra lightweight down jacket.     Abercrombie & FitchA whiff of Abercrombie's cologne may take you back to your glory days, but a quick browse through the new styles proves that they've come a long way from the logo tees of year's past. Thanks to a recent brand refresh, Abercrombie & Fitch's collection is now full of Instagram-worthy pieces like cozy teddy jackets and pull-on wool pants. And even if the prices are out of your budget, it's worth the splurge since most styles (denim jackets and jeans, especially) can be worn all the way through your teen's college years.     Old NavyGrowth spurt? Go ahead, and refresh their entire wardrobe with Old Navy's affordable selection of ahead-of-the-trend tees, sweaters, dresses, and more. And since the store is know for their jeans (and their insanely low prices), stock up on a few pairs the next time they go on sale.     Princess Polly Head to this Australian online retailer to help her find the latest and greatest styles way before her friends — you know it's important. While some of Princess Polly's looks may be more college-appropriate, there are several styles that'll meet her high school dress code.      |
| Posted: 19 Dec 2019 02:28 PM PST  Mini dresses sold by Fashion Nova are displayed on the retailer's website on Dec. 19, 2019. Fashion Nova, the Vernon-based fast-fashion retailer known for a heavy Instagram presence backed by celebrities like Cardi B, reached a $1.75 million settlement Thursday with local prosecutors over its returns policy and shipping delays. The consumer protection lawsuit was settled just days after the New York Times published an investigation revealing illegal labor practices uncovered by federal officials. The report found factory workers in the Los Angeles area get paid illegally low wages to produce Fashion Nova's bodycon dresses and other trendy pieces that often sell for around $15 to $40. However, the settlement reached with the L.A. County District Attorney's Office deals with Fashion Nova's shortfalls not with its employees but with its customers. As part of the deal, the company has agreed to pay $250,000 in restitution to customers and another $1.5 million in costs, penalties and other fees. The retailer did not admit to any wrongdoing as part of the settlement. The civil complaint was filed in Alameda County Superior Court by prosecutors from the counties of Los Angeles, Alameda, Napa and Sonoma. Until at least April 2018, the company repeatedly failed to ship items to California customers within 30 days and did not provide adequate notices about the delays, according to prosecutors. According to state law, online sales delivered to California customers must generally be shipped within 30 days, and customers must be given a refund or written notice if the shipment is delayed. "The content of these notices is regulated by statute and must include the expected duration of the delay and an offer for a refund upon request," a statement from the DA's office explains.  This image shows Fashion Nova's return policy for a dress on Dec. 19, 2019, as listed on its website. Prosecutors said Fashion Nova also failed to clearly state its policy for returned items. The retailer's website currently displays a detailed policy providing store credit for returns with very specific parameters for products of certain prices: "All items with prices ending in $.00, .96, .97 and .98 are final sale and cannot be returned for store credit." As part of the settlement, prosecutors said, Fashion Nova has agreed to change some business practices. The DA's office said it would provide a statement when asked for further details on the terms of the settlement, including what company practices are being changed and whether county prosecutors are taking action in regard to allegations of illegal labor practices. The story will be updated as any new information comes. 34.003903 -118.230073  |
| DTC wedding dress company Anomalie wants to be the Stitch Fix of bridal - Glossy Posted: 10 Dec 2019 12:00 AM PST  The wedding dress shopping experience is broken. That realization is what motivated Leslie Voorhees Means to launch direct-to-consumer wedding dress company Anomalie. On Tuesday, the company is launching a new dress design tool for brides to make wedding dress shopping simpler, and achievable online. As mass companies like David's Bridal (which once claimed to outfit one out of every three American brides and now makes up 25% of the gown market) are slowly trying to adapt to a modern bride's needs, more digitally native bridal gown companies are flooding the market. In 2017, the U.S. wedding dress industry reached $2.86 billion in sales, and it's projected to be worth $3.23 billion by 2021, according to Statista. Floravere opened in 2016 (and opened its first retail space this summer), while Azazie has been around since 2014. "Boutiques just can't carry the inventory that we are able to provide in this digital experience. We have customization technology to provide [dresses] for any design, shape, size and budget. This is not the typical digital experience, especially for a typical DTC company. We are not a Shopify website," said Voorhess Means. In the last three years Anomalie has raised $18.1 million in funding from Lerer Hippeau, Maveron and Goodwater Capital. It used a portion of that to invest in the new DressBuilder tool. Brides take an online quiz and within minutes of finishing, they're sent a personalized, illustrated sketch of their dress. The company's technology is able to pull together pre-sketched elements of the final dresses and fit them together into a final picture within minutes. From there, the bride works with a stylist via phone at Anomalie to make any tweaks or alternations to that dress. Or she can go back to the drawing board and design a new dress. Final products cost, on average, between $1,000 and $2,000, not including costs for any alterations the bride needs to make. Since the company makes made-to-measure dresses, the idea is that there will be little to no alternations after the bride initially provides her measurements. But in the event they are needed, the company provides customers with a list of local trusted tailors. This new dress-building tool is part of the DTC company's play to position itself as a Stitch Fix of bridal gowns, by building out data-powered tech capabilities as the foundation of the company, said Voorhees Means. Since launching, Voorhees Means has been slowly building a strong team of data scientists and technology experts, including former Sephora vp of digital innovation Marcy Zelmar as chief experience officer. In the last year, Anomalie has hired from Stitch Fix, NatureBox and Uber. Anomalie has spent over 30,000 hours over the last three years building the DressBuilder tool by adding in 8,000-plus "building blocks" of a bridal gowns to a database, according to Voorhees Means. That includes various necklines, bodice shapes, skirt silhouettes, fabrics, lace details, sleeve lengths and strap widths. With the data points from a quiz, a customer will be served up one of the 4 billion potential dress combinations available through Anomalie's database. The quiz includes questions about one's wedding destination, personal style and dress style preferences. Anomalie doesn't have storefronts and handles all communication with customers via email or over the phone. Voorhees Means said the company has no plans to move into physical retail, even though the bridal dress shopping experience is one that many brides choose to do in person. "There are consumers out there looking for really convenient experiences. Today, [shopping for a gown] can be flipping through a digital catalog on an iPad with a girlfriend while sitting on your couch," said Darin Archer, chief strategy officer at Elastic Path. Voorhees Means said the company has largely been a place where brides go after hitting up four or five bridal stores and coming up short based on their budget, size or choice style. The company offers dresses for brides sizes 00 to 30-plus, Voorhees Means said. Dresses are made to measure, and the company doesn't carry any inventory. The design process typically takes about one month to allow for any changes the bride wants to make, or if the customer wants to receive fabric samples or lace swatches ahead of placing the order. That's followed by an additional four-plus months to create the dress and ship it to the customer.  |
| 'Why dress for your ex?': Bride's bizarre query trolled online - Yahoo7 Be Posted: 18 Dec 2019 06:38 PM PST  View photos The bride shared two options for her gown, but it was her caption that had eyebrows through the roof. Photo: Facebook A bride has strayed into very strange territory with a wedding dress post that appears to be counting her ex-boyfriend as a major factor in her decision making on the big day. The unidentified bride took to Facebook with two dress options looking for advice, but it was her comment in the description that sparked the majority of responses, rather than opinions on the two dresses.  View photos The full post, shared to Reddit, detailed a bizarre reason the bride wanted to look her best. Photo: Reddit "Left or right?" the bride queried alongside the two options. "Also, my ex will be at the wedding (long story), so it's important that I look good!" Onlookers were quick to do a double-take at the final line, wondering why on earth a soon to be married woman would be concerned with her ex-boyfriend's opinion on her wedding day of all days. Onlookers reactA Reddit thread sharing the post exploded with commentary in a matter of hours, all of which seemed to ask the same question of the bride-to-be. "Imagine making YOUR WEDDING about ANOTHER MAN instead of your future husband. Yikes," one person pointed out. "Worrying about ex at your wedding is... weird. Just don't invite him lol," another suggested. "I mean, inviting your ex to the wedding isn't necessarily a bad thing at all, if you're on really good terms with them and your current spouse is comfortable," one balanced individual pointed out. "But worrying about looking good for them? Super, super weird." "Gotta look good for that ex!" another wrote. In other news, the consensus firmly fell to the dress on the right as the favourite for the big night, no word yet on the ex's thoughts. It's not the first time a bride's gown and decision-making process has come under fire. One bride chose a bodysuit over a traditional gown in a polarising decision, while another's bridesmaid dresses were described as 'vulva jumpsuits' and ridiculed online. Got a story tip?
