Pinterest predicts the summer trends, and some are 'Bridgerton'-inspired

What are the fashion girlies feeling this summer? According to the most-searched terms on Pinterest, the summer fashion forecast calls for Y2K nostalgia and tea parties.

In its Summer 2024 Trend Report released this week, Pinterest shared the most-searched terms on the platform. And though there were some outliers — like a 5550 percent jump in searches for "alt baddie" — most of the queries fell into three distinct groups.

Y3K

Many Pinterest users are definitely interested in reliving the past (see searches inspired by the '90s and '00s below), but a large percentage are also dreaming of what's ahead. Searches for "Y3K outfits" — futuristic ensembles fit for the year 3000 — are up a huge 6030 percent. A 170 percent jump in searches for "retro-future fashion" also proves people are caught between the past and the present.

Y2K- and '90s-inspired looks

When Pinterest users need inspiration, they turn to the turn of the century. Searches for "'90s makeup look" (up 270 percent), "'90s lip" (up 760 percent), and "'90s glam makeup" (up 280 percent) are all up. Plus, "'90s nail art" (up 250 percent) and "'90s French tip nails" (up 515 percent) are on the rise as people prep for the season of sandals and short sleeves.

Searches for "2000s makeup" also increased 580 percent and "Y2K duck nails" have seen a 120 percent bump in queries.

Hairstyles of the '90s are also feeling the love, like "'90s blonde" (up 93 percent), "'90s layered bob" (up 985 percent), and the "baby braid" style (up 1210 percent). And from the 2000s, people are searching for "chunky highlights" (up 5400 percent) and "heavy highlights on dark hair" (up 2840 percent) a la Lindsay Lohan in Freaky Friday or Rayanne's blonde bang in My So-Called Life.

Dinners and tea parties

Searches for "dinner party" are up a whopping 6000 percent as folks prepare to embrace the warm weather with summer soirées. Specific themes include "Fairy dinner part[ies]" (up 150 percent) and "vintage dinnerware" (up 212 percent).

Following the show's recent Season 3 debut, a Bridgerton effect also appears to be in full swing as users search for "tea party" (up 430 percent), "high tea food ideas" (up 177 percent), "afternoon tea party ideas" (up 165 percent), "floral tea party" (up 160 percent) and "tea sets vintage" (up 168 percent). In case it wasn't clear, tea is in this summer.

The Shortcut AI Excel agent could one-shot spreadsheet jobs. Heres how to try it.

There's a new AI agent on the block for people who spend their waking hours inside spreadsheets. Navigate to Shortcut AI's website , and you'll find a page that looks almost exactly like an empty Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The main difference is a sidebar chatbot that can be tasked with taking on the tedious legwork of building, say, complex financial models or competitive analyses. Because Shortcut is agentic , meaning it can handle multi-step tasks on the user's behalf, the tool can do more than just generate Excel formulas or analyze spreadsheet data. In a demo on X, Nico Christie, founder and CEO of the Shortcut AI agent, showed how the tool swapped out the data from a Microsoft distributed cash flow analysis (DCF) for Google data by looking up Google's SEC filings and populating the data in the same template. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. Shortcut launched on Monday with a rather ominous tagline: "Try...

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...

Mystery Pixel smartphones detailed in code references

The devices also pack 12GB of RAM apiece. Shiba is said to feature a screen with a resolution of 2,268 x 1,080 pixels while Husky could be a bit larger at 2,822 x 1,344 pixels. Given the amount of RAM, however, both would likely qualify as premium devices. from TechSpot https://ift.tt/cefMDJW via
