11 Brands to Shop in Support of Women on International Women’s Day 2020

International Women’s Day (IWD) is fast approaching. Taking place every year on March 8, the day is dedicated to celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. It also holds significance in its call to action, with the entire day dedicated to ideas and plans for accelerating gender parity.

The official theme this year is ‘each for equal,’ and according to Pinterest analytics, recent search results reflect this vision of an equal playing field. For example, searches around going back to school as a mom are up 53 per cent. Inspirational quotes for women motivation are up 755 per cent in searches, quotes for women encouragement are up 300 per cent and girls-supporting-girls quotes have had a 399 per cent increase. According to the UN, women globally earn 23 per cent less than men, and the push for change here is also reflected in Pinterest’s report. It revealed that there has been a 254 per cent increase in women searching about asking for a raise at work, and searches for business start-up ideas are up at an enormous 941 per cent.

In celebration of IWD 2020, here are 11 shopping initiatives to get behind this year.

Cubs Still Looking at Versatile Free Agents for the Infield

Unless the Chicago Cubs decide to non-tender Addison Russell today – or pull off a surprising trade – we’re probably still not going to know a ton about how the team will proceed on the positional side in free agency. Were Russell gone, it would suddenly be very easy to see them going after a starting second baseman, with Javy Baez moving permanently to shortstop and Ben Zobrist remaining in a utility role.

But if Russell stays today, the Cubs’ plans will remain a little inscrutable. Are they going to focus on adding an impact bat in the outfield? Are they still going to go after an impact bat in the infield and then figure out the rest later? Or are they going to do this:

With so many questions remaining about how the Cubs are going to line things up next year, it certainly makes sense to go after someone who is versatile. It makes even more sense, I should note, if the expectation is that Russell is going to be gone, but keep in mind that even if he stays, he’s going to miss the first month of the season on suspension. That’s a lot of time to fill.

Previously, we discussed the fit of versatile free agents like Marwin Gonzalez and Jed Lowrie, each of whom could primarily handle second base while remaining of use in other positions as needs arise. (Manny Machado is also, strictly speaking, a free agent infielder who can play multiple positions, but I think it’s safe to say he’s in a category of his own. To date, we do not have an indication that the Cubs will seriously pursue Machado.)

More on Gonzalez and Lowrie, specifically, here.

(Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images)

Like I said last night with the Tommy La Stella trade, there is so much that can happen with the roster this offseason that will change the story of how we think about what the Cubs did and didn’t accomplish. Moreover, looking back at the whole will tell us a lot about what the money situation really looked like. Right now, it’s just about impossible to truly know what’s what.

So, then, I’ll set aside that broader context for now and say, yeah, sure, I love me some versatile players, especially if they are otherwise starting-caliber at a spot like second base. That’s a perfect fit for a Cubs team that might not know what it’s going to need in that spot in 2019, has an older guy like Zobrist winding things down, has a younger guy like David Bote who is not established, and doesn’t have a lot of impact offensive talent in the upper ranks of the farm system.

Heck, even if the Cubs didn’t have a looming potential need at second base, just think back to when they signed Zobrist a few years ago. He was brought in to be the primary second baseman, and yet he wound up doing a lot of what he’d always done: play in the outfield, too, and bring a quality bat. Guys like Zobrist – or Gonzalez or Lowrie – can fit on just about any team at just about any time because they allow you to work out the details later, and adjust throughout a season. Maybe the Cubs just want to get another guy like that in place regardless of what else happens in the infield.

13 Body-Positive Influencers You Should Follow on Instagram http://yourgradgear.com/2017/09/27/13-body-positive-influencers-you-should-follow-on-instagram/

13 Body-Positive Influencers You Should Follow on Instagram

Rachel Williams and Lashauna Williams, InStyle

March 10, 2017

This article originally appeared on InStyle.com.

It’s always important to surround yourself with a girl squad that champions you to be your authentic self and accepts you regardless of appearance. As we spend this month celebrating women’s achievements, we present 13 body-positivity advocates to follow on Instagram.

These models, bloggers, activists, and designers have started an important conversation and are getting results. They’re not only lighting up runways during fashion month—they’re taking action to disrupt the status quo in magazines, clothing ads, and beauty campaigns. Whether they are advocating for fashion for women of all sizes or just stepping out of traditional norms, they are putting their curves front and center and looking gorgeous doing so. Not only do their Instagram feeds show off head-turning portfolios, street style, and behind-the-scenes peeks at photo shoots, they also provide inspiration and much-needed laughs as the ladies showcase their wisdom and wit.

1. Denise Bidot (@denisebidot)

Fun fact: I was born on a Friday the 13th 😎 ••• On another note, loving all the new @fabletics Plus items that just got released and the fit is insane (ps-I was not paid to say that)!!!! 🏃🏻‍♀️💜💪🏽 #NoWrongWay #fabletics #curves #loveyourbody #fitnessmotivation #friday

A post shared by Denise Bidot (@denisebidot) on Jan 13, 2017 at 8:50am PST

There Is No Wrong Way to Be a Woman: That’s a slogan that grew into a website and a movement when it was launched last year by this model and single mom to inspire women to love themselves and celebrate their individuality. The former makeup artist has also blazed a trail across the runways at New York Fashion Week over the past two years: The Chromat and Serena Williams collections were her first. On her Instagram feed you’ll find empowering statement Ts, outfits of the day, and pre-photo-shoot pics, but you can also find Bidot in the current Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue in a bikini with her stretch marks unretouched, an implicit message to women to embrace their unique beauty no matter what imperfections they might believe they have.

My clothes are as dark as my roots #timetogetmyhaircolored #blonde

A post shared by Georgina Burke (@missgeoburke) on Jan 13, 2017 at 5:47pm PST

She was the first-ever official face and brand ambassador for the Torrid clothing line. The Aussie model is also featured in the documentary Straight/Curve, which focuses on the female body image and how models are helping redefine society’s beauty standards. Her most treasured posts are of her Wheaten Terrier, Auzwald, but you can also see her working out at the Dogpound in Brooklyn or hanging out with a horse from time to time (she used to compete in equestrian sports) because that’s #howGdoesit.

3. Clémentine Desseaux (@bonjourclem)

Looking forward to 2017 as we’re making plans for an even better tomorrow… 🙏🏼

A post shared by Clémentine Desseaux (@bonjourclem) on Dec 29, 2016 at 11:16am PST

A commercial may have made the freckled beauty what she calls “the first plus girl on TV in France,” but Desseaux’s making strides in other ways too. She co-founded the body-positive advocacy campaign @allwomanproject to show the industry that a group of women from different ethnicities, ages, and sizes can be successfully represented in the same ad campaign. She also runs a brand-strategy agency that helps fashion clients with art direction, production, and brand identity. The highlight of her news feeds? A special #IceCreamDance. The budding chef and foodie offers up dishes from her own kitchen with follow-along videos and recipes, which she posts on her lifestyle blog, Bonjour Clem.

4. Alessandra Garcia Lorido (@alessandragl)

What an honor to walk with my sisters in such an incredible @dolcegabbana show! Thank you to #domenicodolce and @stefanogabbana for welcoming us into the #DGfamily ❤🥀🌹🇮🇹 #DGFW18 #DGRINASCIMENTO

A post shared by Alessandra Garcia Lorido (@alessandragl) on Feb 26, 2017 at 9:51am PST

The daughter of actor Andy Garcia is proud to flaunt the body she got from her mama, as she says in Lane Bryant’s “This Body” campaign. Besides strutting her stuff on Christian Siriano’s fall runway show in New York and Dolce & Gabbana in Milan this year, she is also part of a group of models fighting against the prevalence of eating disorders in their industry along with the Model Alliance and the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA). Another milestone? She was recently tapped for the launch of the “Generations of Wild” beauty campaign by Wet ’n’ Wild makeup. She likes to include post-grooming shots of her dog, Stella, who also has her own IG account, @thegoodlifeofstella. (After all, Stella did co-star in a Tegan and Sara music video for their song “100x.”) Back to Garcia Lorido’s own feed, scroll through candid pics, old and new, of family and friends, like Dakota Fanning.

5. Gabi Gregg (@gabifresh)

Send nudes 👀 happy v-day babes!!!! celebrate yourself today 💕 wearing @bynadiaaboulhosn duster 📸: @lydiahudgens

A post shared by Gabi Gregg (@gabifresh) on Feb 14, 2017 at 12:20pm PST

The former InStyle contributor, style blogger, model, and designer collaborated with Swimsuits for All on a GabiFresh swimwear line in 2013, and her popular “fatkini” collection continues to create buzz with its new campaign, “New Year, Same You.” Her push for high-end designers to recognize women of all sizes has made her a high-profile advocate in the press. Perhaps that’s why Target invited her and two other influencers to consult on the development of its new Ava & Viv collection (which includes sizes from 14 to 30) as well as model for its 2015 fall lookbook. That same year, Asos tapped her to become the face of Asos Curve’s fall campaign and lookbook. In her street style and travel posts, Gregg exhibits a philosophy that “no rules are the new rules.”

6. Tess Holiday (@tessholiday)

Feelin’ total bad girl vibes in this strappy black dress from my #mblmxtessholliday line available now at @penningtons & online! 💘🕶🔥 #effyourbeautystandards

A post shared by Plus Model🎀Mom 🎀Feminist🎠 (@tessholliday) on Jan 24, 2017 at 3:53pm PST

In 2013 she started a body-positive movement with the hashtag #effyourbeautystandards, and two years later landed on the cover of People magazine, which dubbed her the world’s first size-22 supermodel. Last spring, Time magazine put her on its list of the 30 Most Influential People on the Internet. And this past December, Holliday participated in a re-creation of the iconic Victoria’s Secret fashion show with women of all sizes walking the runway in lingerie by Curvy Couture. Now, with her own fashion line, Mblm by Tess Holliday, a collaboration with Canadian retailer Pennington’s, she continues to empower women to feel confident in their own skin.

7. Candice Huffine (@candicehuffine)

I think the answer for her birthday today would be “have fun y’all”, but I also think that might be the answer everyday. #rulestoliveby #TBT #whatwouldDollydo #letshavefunok 📸 by @themattpowers Tee by @urbancricketnyc

A post shared by Candice Huffine (@candicehuffine) on Jan 19, 2017 at 12:59pm PST

Huffine shows off her carefree personality with funny logo Ts and silly candids, but don’t be fooled: The Lane Bryant model can also strike a fierce pose … and design. She just collaborated with fashion-forward brand Universal Standard on the “Candice” T for their Tria collection, and her feed is sprinkled with #huffineshallway outfits of the day and #fromwhereistand foot shots of sidewalk art. Several months ago, she launched Project Start (@psyougotthis), an effort to galvanize women to begin a running journey, similar to the one she started about a year ago. Now, after running in some races with the help of other women warriors (and her husband), Huffine is on a mission: to show women that the size of your body does not determine your ability to do physical activities like running. Don’t worry ladies, she knows “you got this!”

8. Sabine Karlsson (@thesabinakarlsson)

Because We’re All Worth It ⭐️A dream come true. It’s never too late 💛 @lorealmakeup 📸 @joeferrucci #worthsharing #truematch

A post shared by Sabina (@thesabinakarlsson) on Jan 12, 2017 at 8:57am PST

With her trademark freckles, curly coif, and curvy frame, Karlsson, who has graced the runways of Addition Elle, J.Crew, and Christian Siriano, began working in the industry as a U.K. size 6 but rejected the rigid body standards that modeling requires. Ten years after she’d been a contestant on Scandinavia’s Top Model, she appeared on the TV show as a guest judge, and last year, she was featured in the book and photo exhibition Diverse Beauty, by photographer Alexi Lubomirski. Making waves outside of fashion, she was named one of the faces of the indie beauty line Milk Makeup, and then Maybelline tapped her to do a campaign for its “Break the Mold” lipstick ads. Karlsson is now one of the faces of L’Oréal Paris’s new True Match “Your Skin, Your Story” campaign. Could her feed filled with backstage beauty headshots have influenced their choices? You be the judge.

9. Precious Lee (@preciousleexoxo)

Vintage vibes at The Plaza👑 Wearing #marinarinaldi @marina.rinaldi @imgmodels #BlackGirlMagic #IMGirls

A post shared by PRECIOUS LEE (@preciousleexoxo) on Dec 22, 2016 at 9:42am PST

This bombshell is sexy, confident, and not afraid to show a little skin. Lee is often spotted modeling for brands like Addition Elle and Christian Siriano, and she is also one of the faces of Lane Bryant’s three most empowering campaigns, “I’m No Angel,” “Plus Is Equal,” and “This Body.” In fact, with the brand’s “This Body” campaign, Lee made history by appearing in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue—it was a three-page spread too. She is also among the models highlighted in the Straight/Curve documentary.

10. Shay Neary (@shadeyshay)

The most terrifying thing is too accept oneself completely… Often, it’s not about becoming a new person, but becoming the person you were meant to be, and already are, but don’t know how to be. #selflove #selfacceptance #soul #hebecameshe #trans #transisbeautiful

A post shared by Shay Neary (@shadeyshay) on Jan 6, 2017 at 9:32am PST

Neary has been modeling for only about a year, but she’s already busting open doors. Last year, she became the first out non-straight-size transgender model to be featured in a clothing campaign with Coverstory, an online e-tailer that curates fashion for women sizes 10 to 28. From Neary’s feed it is clear that she loves red hair, fake nose rings, and her rescue pup pitbull, Pumpkin (now say that five times). Follow her journey as she promotes self-acceptance, the idea that we all deserve to be seen, and the conviction that every story matters.

11. Bo Stanley (@bostanley)

1/99 times its not workout clothes , wetsuits and fitness 🤣 But really , so glad “athleisure” and these one piece rompers that babies wear too are now a suitable way to dress day to day because my body does not like jeans . The thigh game is too strong …Any of you ladies feel me on that one?!! 😝😂 #rompersforthewin #athleteproblems #strongisbeautiful

A post shared by BO STANLEY 🏄🏼‍♀️ (@bostanley) on Jan 10, 2017 at 10:42am PST

Though she never made it past the first night, this surfer, model, and yoga enthusiast earned bragging rights for being the first non-straight-size contestant on The Bachelor. She has appeared in ads and billboards for Lane Bryant, Athleta, and the Vanity Fair sports collection, and is an outspoken critic of the idea that only surfers of a certain size should be sponsored and featured in ad campaigns. Like some of the women on this list, the athlete works out to be healthy and strong. However, she rejects the idea that women should feel pressured to exercise in order to change their body for some beauty ideal. She uses her platform to dispel that myth and promote the notion that “health and beauty come in many shapes and sizes.” Stanley’s feed is all about surfing moves, yoga poses, and a little beachside fun as well, but that was to be expected, right?

12. Danielle Van Grondelle (@daniellevangrondellemodel)

Printqueen and sneakerhead for life @everydaypplnyc 🌊🌊🌊 #printqueen #yesmonkistyle #sneakerhead #baesmentapproved #whatwewearonweekends #curvymodel #plusmodel #curvesarein #curvesfordays #celebratemysize #pmmlovemybody #stylelook #standout #bedaring #daniellevangrondelle #thickfit #thisbody #dvgstyle #stylishmodel #honormycurves #standardrooftop #everydaypplla #daniellevangrondellemodel #jordan11 #chickswithkicks #dvgsworld #teamcurvy

A post shared by Danielle van Grondelle (@daniellevangrondellemodel) on Feb 12, 2017 at 11:47am PST

Like Sabina Karlsson, this Dutch beauty also worked as a straight-size model but found it hard to conform to the industry’s strict standards. Since then she has walked the runways for Rachel Roy and Macy’s. This past November, she spoke about her experience at a special women’s event for Tedx Rotterdam. The self-dubbed sneakerhead and print queen likes to post shoe selfies and look-of-the-day shots of herself in outfits pulled from her extensive wardrobe of geometric, abstract-patterned clothes.

13. Laura Wells (@iamlaurawells)

Never a better time to wear a bra 4 cup sizes to small and a see-through top and give zero f*#!s #donttrythisathome #getyourboobsfitted

A post shared by Laura Wells (@iamlaurawells) on Jan 5, 2017 at 3:36am PST

The muse for a non-straight-size mannequin displayed in major department stores for Australian lingerie company Berlei, this model is also an environmental scientist who is encouraging women to love their bodies as well as Mother Earth. She has designed an eco-friendly curvy line for Koru Swimwear and was featured in the documentary A Perfect 14. Her feed includes snapshots of her adventures hiking, scuba diving alongside seals and manatees, and taking selfies with dolphins. Her self-deprecating humor and zeal for #protectwhatyoulove and #protectyourplayground are contagious.

Since then she has walked the runways for Rachel Roy and Macy’s. This past November, she spoke about her experience at a special women's event for Tedx Rotterdam. The self-dubbed sneakerhead and print queen likes to post shoe selfies and look-of-the-day shots of herself in outfits pulled from her extensive wardrobe of geometric, abstract-patterned clothes.
