This editorial traces a boyhood unbound, where gestures are authentic and clothing is exploratory. Evoked is the disrobed sensuality of the 2010s imagery, a time when being a teen meant shared playlists, blog posts and unrealistic dreams. Here, fragility is embraced and used for quiet unrest. There is no calling for comfort in a solid identity, but prolonged curiosity is satisfying enough.

Price-wise, there really is something for everyone-you can nab a pair of earrings for $14 or a diamond ring for $14,500. The brand's sweetspot, however, is in the $100-$300 range, where the customizable, engravable, most covetable stuff is. The kicker is that said products, in addition to diamonds and other best-sellers, are 20 percent off until November 3. And I can't stress this enough-Catbird sales are once-in-a-blue-moon type of rarity.

Polyester might get a bad rap, but it's one of the best fabrics for avoiding wrinkles, therefore making it a major asset for traveling. So, after scouring Amazon, Nordstrom, and more, I've uncovered 10 wrinkle-free, long-sleeve blouses I'll be adding to my packing list this fall to wear with every bottom in my suitcase without breaking out the iron. And, being the deal-hunter I am, prices start at just $12 with select tops even reaching up to 62 percent off.

Launched in 2019 by then-university students Cami Téllez and Jack DeFuria, Parade cultivated an online following by embracing size diversity and accessible pricing, and by sending free products to "microinfluencers" in exchange for promotional posts across social media. While other fashion companies floundered during the heavily online Covid-19 pandemic, Parade earned $10 million in revenue on the back of its viral marketing strategy.

But unlike Emily in Parisor Sex and the City, you won't see women parading Paris' stylish streets in stilettos and multi-tiered gowns. Fashion in Europe has always been about the "less is more" mentality. I quickly realized I packed entirely wrong on my first trip to Paris when I couldn't wear a single dress without standing out. We all want to try to look (and travel) like a local, so dressing the part is the first step.

Us normies aren't the only ones who like to channel our favorite films around Halloween. The fourth annual Vogue World was Hollywood themed, with celebrities and models highlighting the intersection of fashion and cinema as they strutted down a runway set up on the Paramount lot. The entire October 26 event - which featured nods to Black Panther, the late Diane Keaton, and more - was meant to channel a film shoot; Baz Luhrmann was even there to oversee a director's cut.

Finding the right toiletry bag for your next trip is as important as buying a reliable carry-on or a hassle-free backpack. It should be spacious enough to hold all your essentials yet not so big that it takes up too much space in your suitcase. This cleverly designed toiletry bag from Quince is the perfect size, as it fits everything you need "for at least a two-week trip," according to shoppers.

In the photo, she's sporting an ombré nail with a soft pink base that blends into ombré-style silver chrome tips, finished with a cat-eye effect that gives the manicure a velvety, plush look. The result is sophisticated with a touch of pizzazz - perfect for everything from the red carpet to sporting events. The chrome adds texture and shine, while the subtle cat-eye creates a multidimensional depth that catches the light beautifully. Plus, it's spot-on for a cozy winter vibe.

Splurging on an expensive handbag or backpack only to shove it in a bucket through security and under your airplane seat is less than ideal, but it's frankly just a reality of traveling. That's why I recommend checking out Coach's Outlet section to save on high-end, designer handbags and leather goods-and feel slightly less guilty when they get knocked around a little or get tossed in the bottom of your suitcase when packing up.

Just because the temperatures are getting cooler, doesn't mean the sun is gone. In fact, now is the perfect time to stock up on some of the trendiest styles on the market: Australian brand Quay has a not-to-be-missed sale on select best-sellers for just $31, now extended through November 2nd.

A film festival red carpet usually means chiffon and sequins, bare shoulders and sweeping hems, but Julia look, I feel like we are on first-name terms at this point wore dark Versace jeans with a pale striped blouse and a tailored blazer. And, yes, it is probably important to acknowledge here that when your smile alone could stop gondola traffic your clothes have less heavy lifting to do but still. It was a moment. A new era of looking smart in jeans has begun.

As a travel writer and a Floridian, I can pack a summer suitcase in my sleep. But when it comes to fall, I have to think carefully about versatile items that won't be too bulky and will layer well (I'm eternally chilly). A minimalist fall wardrobe may sound simple in theory, but it faces the challenges of unpredictable weather and drastic fluctuating temperatures. Packing for fall means keeping practicality, lightweight layers, and the right footwear top of mind.

The OG Phantom was first introduced in 2010 by the brand's then-creative director, Phoebe Philo. It was an ode to another Celine classic: the 1969 Mistral bag designed by Céline Vipiana herself. The boxy number featured an unmistakable "face": the straight zipper on the front looked like a tight-lipped "mouth," while the straps looked like they were shooting out of "eyes."

Influencers now sit at the center of fashion because they translate style into daily life with unusual speed and relatability. People find outfits through try-ons, GRWMs, and street photos that feel instantly wearable rather than waiting for seasonal campaigns. Due to the ease of access to price checks, size notes, and links, the journey from inspiration to purchase is shortened.

For 150 years, the Liberty department store has commissioned artists to create its distinctive fabrics - and now a new exhibition shines a light on the women who broke through social and professional barriers to design for the famous London store. At a time when women had few routes into paid artistic work, Liberty became an unlikely pioneer, employing female designers decades before such opportunities were commonplace.

Enough to make any fan of Scandi homeware swoon are the installations from the minimalist Danish design house HAY and Swedish audio innovators Teenage Engineering. For the sneakerheads, Goodhood has had a custom-built footwear area installed selling every shoe brand under the sun, from Salomon to Clarks Originals. Then there's the floor-to-ceiling T-shirt wall, stocking brands including Stüssy, Aries and Extra Vitamins. The new shop also sells Goodhood's own brand, Goodhood Lifestore, which makes everything from bar soap, to matcha whisks.

There is something about a contrast-collar jacket in the fall that does something to a woman. I find a bicolor coat is much more visually appealing than a monochrome layer. An otherwise classically rugged piece of outerwear is now not only durable and practical, but fashion-forward and stylistically intriguing. A mismatched collar also draws attention to one of your hottest assets - your neck.

Clogs are my secret hack when it comes to comfortable travel shoes. They're versatile enough that I can easily pair them with my casual running errands outfits or dress them up to get drinks with friends. They're also a dream to fly in, because they're easy to slip on and off, making airport security a breeze. You'll even be able to treat them like slippers on long flights when you want to slip off your shoes (with your socks still on, of course!)

The Quince Vintage Wash Tencel Drawstring Cargo Pants features six roomy pockets, which are perfect for storing small items while sightseeing, hiking, or taking long flights. However, sizes are selling out quickly, so don't wait too long to add them to your cart. One shopper found the $60 style to be the "softest, most comfortable pants" they've ever owned, and they're not the only ones.

Emerging luxury brand Songs of Siren has launched its highly anticipated second collection, The Siren Call, marking a sophisticated exploration of modern femininity. Founded in 2024 by Dutch-American designer Tinka Weener, the brand is known for its unique blend of avant-garde couture and traditional Indian hand-beading techniques, all steeped in the ethos of slow fashion. This latest collection expands on the themes of seduction and empowerment, pivotal to the Songs of Siren design philosophy.

Like many of Blackstock's deluxe designs, the Lug Sole Loafer is handmade in Portugal and comes standard with best-in-class craftsmanship, including Goodyear welt construction and a heavy-duty Vibram 1757 sole for traction and durability.
