More Stores Quietly Drop Ivanka Trump’s Brand

Nicole Villeneuve
Feb 09, 2017

Ivanka Trump has long been one of her father’s biggest supporters, even when she’s had to defend him. While she doesn’t have an official role in President Trump’s White House administration, Ivanka has made it clear that she does intend to work for policies benefitting women, and recently stepped down from running her eponymous fashion and lifestyle brand to, in part, better do so.

At the moment, however, things are not looking great for her fashion brand, as two of their biggest retailers, Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus, dropped her line. TJ Maxx and Marshall’s employees have reportedly been instructed to take down any Ivanka-specific displays and remove Ivanka signage. And now, the list just keeps on growing.

Cosmopolitan reports that now ShopStyle and HSN have also stopped carrying Ivanka’s brand, as well as Belk and Jet.com. The retailers maintain that the reason is rooted in the numbers, and that the line is simply not selling.

President Trump called Nordstrom’s move specifically “unfair,” and may have caused the store’s stock to actually go up in response to his negative opinion. And while many saw Ivanka and husband Jared Kushner’s reported stand against a White House order impacting LGBTQ and women’s rights as a victory, it’s clear that her ties to the White House are putting her in the line of fire as well.

During the last weekend of January, while protests against President Trump’s Muslim ban were happening at airports across the country, Ivanka posted a pic of her and husband Jared Kushner dressed to the nines. The photo, which had no caption, quickly received Instagram comments and Twitter replies, ranging from outfit compliments to head-scratches over the seemingly insensitive timing of the photo.

While some defenders suggested she had a right to have a life and the timing was irrelevant, the hashtag “#LetThemEatCake” also flooded the replies, suggesting an out-of-touch attitude — the quote is famously attributed to Marie Antoinette, Queen of France, who supposedly said it after learning the French peasants had no bread (not because they were simply out, but because they were too poor).

Ivanka is clearly feeling the effects of her father’s controversial presidency. Her company maintains that sales of her fashion brand are actually growing despite stores claiming otherwise, but with Macy’s and Canadian department store The Bay also facing backlash for still carrying the line, the effects feel far from over.

Do you think more stores will stop carrying Ivanka’s brand? Let us know over @BritandCo.

I’m Accessory Obsessed — These 16 Must-Haves Will Make Your Fall Outfits Shine

The #1 tip I can give anyone to make your outfit go from simple and basic to elevated and chic: accessorize, accessorize, accessorize! These little accents that can transform your ensemble, giving it a more classy and fashionable look — especially when they're on-trend for the season!

This fall, there are so many stylish ways to elevate your outfit, from French Girl Fall ballet flats to boho chic western belts. And while all of these accessories match the moment, they're all so good that they could become staples in your wardrobe for years to come. So buckle up and grab your credit card because we've compiled a list of all of our current fave fall accessories to stock up on this season!

Fall Jewelry

Nordstrom

Nordstrom Cord Pendant Necklace

A statement necklace will take any simple outfit and instantly give it some character and class. This one here is what all the cool girls are wearing this fall — cord pendant necklaces! They're very reminiscent of the '90s, but they're back and better than ever this fall!

Revolve

Heaven Mayhem Icon Watch

Heaven Mayhem quickly solidified itself as an iconic and classic brand. They recently delved into the world of watches, they've already graced thousands of "It" Girl wrists with their timeless styles. Keep an eye out for this brand, because they're not going anywhere!

Revolve

Heaven Mayhem Gigi Earrings

Statement earrings are another Heaven Mayhem staple! In my opinion, these instantly make your look way more chic! I love some good statement earrings to make a simple sweater, boots, and jeans outfit appear more put together and classy. These pearl ones are great because they'll compliment any look you decide to wear this fall!

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Pearl Bag Charm

The Jane Birkin-ifying your bags continues! Remember when you used to decorate your crocs with pins? This is the adult version of that! You can take fun charms like this one, and completely personalize all of your purses this fall! I love this trend, and definitely think it will be here to stay!

Fall Belts

Nordstrom

Madewell Leather Belt

A good quality, leather belt is an essential in every wardrobe, especially for the fall and winter months. This will immediately make your outfit look more polished and tailored — plus, you can take everything to the next level when paired with matching shoes or a bag! I definitely plan on purchasing this belt from Madewell — it's only $58! This one is a classic accessory that will last you for multiple seasons!

Nordstrom

Treasure And Bond Oversize Buckle Leather Belt

Boho chic is one of the top fall trends this year, and an essential component of that? Western wear. It's not quite a full yeehaw-core, but more of a subtle hint of cowboy mixed with more modern styles. This belt is perfect for that, giving you a sleek black leather paired with silver and teal accents.

Banana Republic Factory

Banana Republic Factory Leather Corset Whipstitch Belt

Another more modern take on western wear, this corset belt is incredibly chic! We've seen a lot of corsetry over the last few years, but this is a simple — and likely less restrictive — take on that. I could see this over a crisp white button down and some dark wide legged jeans to accentuate your style.

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Buckle Belt

Everyone needs an accessory that gives them that pop of color to make their outfit go from "cute" to "CUTE!" This is that accessory for me. It has a unique shape so bonus point there, AND it also comes in this gorgeous, bright red — which is one of our fall trending colors this year!

Fall Bags

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Fiona Beaded Bag

A statement bag is another "must" on our list for fall 2024, and this beaded option from Anthro definitely fits the bill. It's a simple black bag, but the studded, gold heart detailing gives it a little character — which I love to add to my outfits! It's a fun way to inject some personality into your daily 'fits!

Anthropologie

Anthropologie Horsebit Bag

Gucci, who? Anthropologie has entered the convo, and at a much, much cheaper price point. This horse-bit bag is all I can think about with its combination of perfectly vintage, and perfectly trending shape! It's truly the ideal statement piece to up the ante on any outfit! Obsessed!

Free People

Free People Bobbi Slouch Suede Tote

Slouchy bags are back and they're better than ever, TBH. This suede tote from Free People is one of my favorites this season, and it would go perfectly with the charms I talked about earlier! Grab this bag for that effortless je ne sais quoi!

Quince

Quince Italian Leather Trapeze Crossbody

This Polène dupe is honestly everything — and so much cheaper! You can get this TikTok-loved style for about 80% less, and it's genuine Italian leather. Plus, you can never have too many solid brown bags for the fall, if you ask me!

Fall Shoes

J.Crew

J.Crew Logan Mary Janes

These bright red shoes will make the perfect statement to accessorize your outfit with! The pop of red is my favorite way to add flair to my outfits this fall. You simply take an otherwise neutral or simple outfit, add these red shoes, and voila — instantly more fashionable. These satin mary janes will definitely help you to stay on trend.

Mango

Mango Cow Print Shoes

Cow print is my favorite up-and-coming trend this fall, and I know we'll be seeing more and more of it! If this animal print seems to be too much for you, then opt for these shoes that have a more mild cow-print on them. This lets you test the trend without it being too out of your comfort zone!

Target

Target Lonnie Kitten Heel Stretch Ankle Boots

Boots are always a nice touch to a fall 'fit, but these pointed toe kitten heels take it to the next level. Their sleek profile can go with just about any look, giving a more demure and mature touch to your style. Plus, who doesn't love an excuse to get more Target shoes?

Tecovas

Tecovas The Annie Boots

And for the final cherry on top of your fall accessories, these Tecovas boots are everything. Like I said before, western wear is the moment this year, and a classy pair of cowboy boots are a great way to take on the trend. This shade of "sequoia" brown is rich and luxurious, but just subtle enough to go with about anything.

Miley Cyrus’ Complete Dating History: Who Were Her Wildest Loves?

WhileMiley Cyrus is known for her powerful voice — and recent Grammy win — her public relationships have been the talk of Hollywood, too. From her high-profile marriage (and divorce 😭) to Liam Hemsworth to her current relationship with Maxx Morando, Miley's experienced the highs and lows of being being 1/2 of a celebrity couple.

The one thing we continue to learn from celebrities — especially after looking at Miley Cyrus' dating history — is that they're just like us! From Nick Jonas to Maxx Morando, here are Miley's most memorable relationships.

Miley Cyrus' Full Dating History

Kevin Winter/Getty Images

Nick Jonas

We revisited this short-lived fling while dissecting Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez's friendship, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it again! These two didn't really talk about their relationship when they first started dating, but Kevin Jonas spilled the beans about Nick's feelings when he first met Miley. He said, "When he met Miley, I think that kid's head exploded." He made this revelation during the brothers' documentary Chasing Happiness, where they also revealed a few of their songs were about the former Hannah Montana star.

In her book Miles To Go, Miley talked about how the two met at a benefit for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation charity and started spending more time together. The next year, Miley and the Jonas Brothers went on tour together (Best of Both Worlds), but that seemed to signal the end of her relationship with Nick.

Once they broke up, Miley talked about how she felt in great detail. "At first I bawled for a month straight. I was so sad. I just went into this weird funk," she said (via PEOPLE). What's ironic is that she admitted to "rebelling against" Nick's preferences. "...I've got to be by myself for now, and just figure out who I really am."

Justin Gaston

Miley's next boyfriend was Justin Gaston, a singer and model, who seemingly wore the same hairstyle as her dad Billy Ray Cyrus. Actually, the reason the two started dating is because of the "Achy Breaky Heart" singer! He must've taken a liking to Justin during Nashville Star because he introduced him to Miley, and the rest was history (via Glamour). "He actually reminds me a lot of myself when I was 20 years old and I was living and searching for the dream," he said. However, their relationship was short-lived because they called it off in 2009 (via NBC Washington).

Liam Hemsworth

The next person Miley Cyrus was linked to was her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth. For a time, everyone believed these two were meant to be...until they weren't. The pair filmed The Last Song together and couldn't deny the strong chemistry between them — even if they were supposed to be "just acting." They started making public appearances together looking very much smitten with each other, confirming any relationship rumors swirling around.

It's no secret they broke up and got back together several times, but they eventually decided to get engaged in 2012 (via Cosmopolitan). However that was short-lived once they decided to call it off...only to get it together a few years later. Though the couple eventually got married, they got divorced before their one-year anniversary.

"What really sucked about it wasn't the fact that me and someone that I loved realized that we don't love each other the way that we used to anymore," she said during an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience.

Patrick Schwarzenegger

Once her marriage to Liam Hemsworth ended, Miley and Patrick Schwarzenegger were spotted getting close. However his mom Maria Shriver wasn't a fan of them dating (via The List). A source said that she was "very worried about the influence Miley's having on Patrick. She fully believes that you become who you surround yourself with and she's always been so happy with the friends Patrick chooses, she never saw this coming," (Hello! Magazine).

Luckily for this mama bear, Miley and Patrick's relationship didn't last long either. They broke up in 2015 because they were in "two different places in their lives," (via PEOPLE).

Stella Maxwell

It seemed like Miley decided to explore her options after things ended with Patrick Schwarzenegger — she was then linked to Victoria Secret's model Stella Maxwell that same year. It was speculated the two were in a relationship after they were seen kissing (via PEOPLE). However, Miley shut those rumors down while she talked about her sexuality. She told Elle, "I'm 22, I'm going on dates, but I change my style every two weeks, let alone who I'm with" and admitted she identifies as "pansexual."

Jerod Harris/Getty Images

Kaitlynn Carter

In 2019, Miley was seen kissing Kaitlynn Carter (The Hills: New Beginnings) while on vacation in Italy (via PEOPLE). It didn't seem like things were serious because a source said the pair were "just having fun" — which sounds similar to the mindset Miley had while she was seen with Stella Maxwell. Miley's sister Brandi Cyrus joined them on vacation, according to Instagram.

Miley and Kaitlynn were seen on a date where a source said, "They live together and are very happy," (via PEOPLE). But this may have been too much for the "Flowers" singer because they went their separate ways after it was revealed they "spent every day together."

Ouch?

Cody Simpson

A younger Cody Simpson admitted to Fuse he had a crush on Miley Cyrus in 2012, and it was the cutest thing ever! They become best friends a few years later with Cody telling GQ Australia, "...she helps with some of that transitional stuff—trying to escape your childhood. She’s super open-minded, and I’m working on becoming more like that." Paparazzi snuck a photo of the two kissing in 2019, sparking dating rumors (via TMZ).

They did become boyfriend and girlfriend, but broke up in 2020 because Cody said they "were going in different directions," (via Billboard).

Francis Specker/CBS

Maxx Morando

Before long, Miley Cyrus and her current boyfriend Maxx Morando were seen getting cozy in 2021. Daily Mailsaw them cuddling in Miami while a source later told Entertainment Tonight, "They've been together for a little while and are just enjoying their relationship." They met for the first time during a "blind date" after Miley decided to open herself up to dating again. "I thought, ‘The worst that can happen is I leave.'" Ever since then, he couple have been enjoying their relationship and even enjoyed a recent date night (via Page Six).

We don't know about you, but we're rooting for Miley Cyrus and Maxx Morando to find happily ever after in each other!

Netflix's New K-Drama Thriller Will Fill The 'Squid Game' Void In Your Life

Mysteries and thrillers often tick off a familiar checklist: strained relationships? Check. Shady dealings? Check. A tortured yet empathetic lead? Check. If you found yourself reeling after the end of Presumed Innocent and are hooked on Lady in the Lake, then you absolutely need to make room on your watchlist for Netflix's new Korean mystery thriller (especially if you're waiting for Squid Game season 3). Yes, The Price of Confession features a lead who's accused of murdering her husband (another box on the checklist), but it's shaping up to be a standout because what Ahn Yoon-soo finds when she gets to prison is unlike anything you've seen before.

The Price of Confession Plot

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Netflix Korea (@netflixkr)

"My husband is dead," says an official Instagram post from Netflix Korea. "I was caught as a suspect. And a woman called witch approached."

When her husband is mysteriously murdered, Ahn Yoon-soo's dreams for a loving family come to a screeching halt. And things only get worse when she's accused of the murder. Surrounded by a memorable cast of characters — her lawyer, the prosecutor, and an inmate the other prisoners call a witch — Yoon-soo has to fight for her freedom and her future.
