10 Products to Remind You of Summer in the Dead of Winter

If you watched the recent couture shows or any of this year’s award ceremonies, you were probably left pining for warmer weather, shorter hemlines and brighter pops of colour in your life. But pace yourself: we still have two months to go before it’s officially spring. Meanwhile, here are some products that will bring back summertime memories of sun-kissed skin after a day at the beach. Shop our suggestions below and treat yourself to a strawberry-scented scrub, a watermelon serum or a coconut body oil.

Should Ariana Grande’s “Small Japanese BBQ” Tattoo Be Considered Cultural Appropriation?

“Girls with tattoos who like getting in trouble” is the second lyric of Ariana Grande’s chart-topping single, “7 Rings.” Grande, it seems, takes her lyrics quite seriously: the song has been at the centre of several controversies since it started preaching lavish, unrelatable purchases to us two weeks ago. Everyone from 2 Chainz and Soulja Boy to Princess Nokia have taken issue with the song’s lyrics, beat and video, and last week, Grande made a public apology after sharing a fan post that claimed “White women talking about their weaves is how we’re gonna solve racism.” (In the chorus, she sings: “You like my hair? Gee, thanks, just bought it.” The line is in reference to her longer-than-life hair which, I was surprised to learn, is not real.)

Like the tattoo-covered, trouble causing girl she is, Grande turned the milestone into body art. Yesterday, in a post that has since been deleted, she shared a photo of the new ink to her Instagram page, showing the characters “七輪” in black on her left palm. In Chinese, this loosely translates to “7 rounds”—which is, I guess, pretty close to “7 Rings.” In Kanji however—the Japanese alphabet that shares characters with Chinese—the symbols take on a different meaning. The first character means “seven” and the second means “ring,” but together, “七輪” is read as “shichirin,” which translates to “small Japanese BBQ.”

It seems, however, that Grande may have known what she was getting herself into. The correct Japanese translation for “7 rings” should’ve been “七つの指輪,” a detail Grande got correct in the title card for the song’s music video and one that she acknowledged in a now-deleted tweet: “indeed, i left out “つの指” which should have gone in between. it hurt like fuck n still looks tight i wouldn’t have lasted one more symbol lmao,” Grande wrote, “but this spot also peels a ton and won’t last so if i miss it enough, i’ll suffer thru the whole thing next time.” She then goes on to say she was a “huge fan of tiny bbq grills.”

Getting a Japanese BBQ tattoo is something I might actually understand. Like Grande, I am a huge fan of tiny BBQ grills—so much so, in fact, that I have the Gyu-Kaku app on my phone, where I collect points to receive raw meat deals from the world’s largest Japanese BBQ franchise. It’s one of my favourite places to eat, and it’s one of the many things I enjoy about Japanese culture. Knowingly misspelling a foreign word because you like how it looks, however, is a lot harder to swallow than a plate of grilled yaki-shabu. Users on Twitter seem to be agree.

The ponytail flipping pop star isn’t the first person to have a Japanese or Chinese character tattoo with a comical meaning. What’s unclear, however, is why so many white people gravitate towards these symbols when they’re planning to have ink inserted into their flesh. Perhaps, it’s because Chinese symbolism can express so much in a few simple, clean lines. Or maybe, people think an “exotic” translation adds an element of mystery to their tattoo. Likely, it’s people like Grande, who think the cultured aesthetic “looks tight.”

But is it cultural appropriation? According to the Cambridge Dictionary, cultural appropriation “is the act of taking or using things from a culture that is not your own, especially without showing that you understand or respect this culture.” Grande is not Japanese, but she has millions of fans in the country and has publicly expressed great interest in the culture. (This YouTube montage of her speaking Japanese has over one million views.)

The problem is, when languages are taken out of their original context, meaning can become over simplified, misinterpreted and completely lost. Ariana Grande’s “Small Japanese BBQ” tattoo is a perfect example of that — and it’s a reminder for people everywhere to stop permanently scarring your skin with words you don’t understand.

Justin Bieber Created a Clothing Line, and It's the Bieber-iest One You Could Imagine

Justin Bieber has been hard at work on a new clothing line, and it finally went live on Tuesday. It's called Drew House, and the aesthetic is all about "chilling," I think. If you're the kind of person who'd spend $98 on a slouchy hoodie with a big yellow smiley face and a curved "drew" as the mouth, this collection is for you. The homepage of the website reveals a group of models who look a little too cool to be posing for photos, which is kinda the point. They also somehow all remind me of Justin Bieber himself, which also might be part of the point. "drew house is a place where you can be yourself. blah blah blah blahsdbksjdfhl wear like you don't care. come chill. k. bye," the "about us" section reads. (Yes, it's all lowercase, because that's more chill).

Despite its "wear like you don't care" message, the Daily Beast points out, "Of course, anyone willing to fork over $138 of their parents' money for shorts that read 'Drew' across the crotch really, really cares about fitting in with Young Master Bieb's aesthetic." And apparently a whole lot of young people care, because the entire line sold out just a day after it was launched. I'm assuming there'll be a restock.

Justin and Hailey Bieber recently wore hoodies for date night, and he took the opportunity to rep his brand. Aside from the hoodies, the line has a lot of corduroy, including the aforementioned pair of shorts that really do have "drew" across the crotch. It's also worth noting that people have drawn comparisons between Drew House and Yeezy, Kanye West's similarly minimal clothing line.

Anyway, see some of the items available in the collection so far, if you care!

This Is the Sexy Take on Winter Fashion I've Been Waiting For Since 2005

I like to think I was just ahead of my time in college, that my sweatpants and North Face fleece ensembles (complete with UGG boots) were just never appreciated for being the cutting-edge athleisure that they were. Maybe that's the case, or maybe my 19-year-old self lacked the fashion ingenuity of a Kim Kardashian who turned a North Face parka into a full-on street style trend with just a pair of leather leggings, white boots, some fresh contouring, and a slicked-back pony.

Sure, we've seen Kim throw on any number of sportswear and athleisure brands, repping Vetements, Supreme, Nike, and Adidas, not to mention her husband's own Yeezy brand. But, North Face? The brand is more college-freshman's-first-Winter-on-campus (that was me!) than style icon. It's more preppy and practical than sexy streetwear, but just watch Kim prove us all wrong. I never thought I'd eye a North Face jacket with such envy, but cut to me pulling out the box of college jackets I've had in storage, desperate to re-create the outfit. This is the cool-cum-sexy take on Winter athleisure that I've been waiting for since 2005.

I'm Deeply Invested in All the Time I Could Save Wearing Target's Slip-on Sneakers Through Airport Security

If I could write a love letter to the slip-on shoes in my closet, I would. They're uncomplicated, easy, and come in plenty of cute styles, so I run errands and attend meetings in the same pair. Imagine my delight when I heard my beloved Target is selling slip-on sneakers of its own for only $35 - as if I needed another reason to shop there.

The Raquel sneakers from Target's "A New Day" line might play tricks on your eyes, but the laces you see are simply decorative. Instead, these kicks require very little effort to slide on and off. I'm breathing a sigh of relief just *thinking* about the reduced airport security time. The laid-back shoes are available in gray, black, and blush pink, to complement whatever look you're going for in a given day. Plus, their mesh top gives these sneakers a high-end athleisure look. What more could you want from a stylish shoe?

Target shoppers are already claiming pairs of their own and giving rave reviews. "These little pink sneakers are so comfy . . . and best of all just slip right on," one happy customer wrote. If you're intrigued by these kicks, keep reading to see how they look in stores and styled, and shop them for yourself.
