Aries: It’s a busy period, and you’re going to need as much focus as possible to get through the glasses. Invest in a few basic pieces that can create quick, capsule outfits. And while you’re at it, get your glasses prescription checked.

Taurus: ‘Tis the season of hibernation and you couldn’t be happier. While everyone hustles around you, you remain in tune with your deeper nature, happy to cancel plans and cozy up. Still, don’t get stuck in a rut too early. Buy a lavish going-out outfit so you have a reason to party every now and then.

Gemini: The holiday seasons bring a great influx of parties before true winter sets in, and you’re excited to accept all invites. But remember, even as you rush around the cold may get to you! Make sure you have a great collection of excellent coats on rotation.

Cancer: Lately, you’ve been feeling the music. Concerts are a great way to stay warm and active during the winter, so keep doing what you’re doing. In the meantime, perfect your outfit so that it’s easy to toggle between the frigid outdoors and hot, packed rooms.

Leo: Lioness, you’ve been feeling the love. Though you’re usually the center of the party, lately you’ve been more than happy to cozy up with your dearest one. Shy of buying a couples’ snuggie, consider getting some matching outfits. You only live once!

Virgo: Venus in your sign brings a softer, more romantic energy into your orbit. Be on the lookout for new crushes, flirtations, and letters of affection where you least expect them. Need we even say: be prepared to look gorgeous at all times!

Libra: Your girl gang has been everything this year, and with the holidays around the corner your bonds will only solidify. Though you humbly deny it, you’re the center of the group. Which means, of course, the Friendsgiving hosting is up to you! Set a darling theme that perfectly suits your wardrobe.

Scorpio: With Mercury in your sign, you can hardly keep up with all the communications and actions coming your way. It’s not something you’re used to, but you’ve been managing as best you can. Don’t worry – the planet of chat will leave you alone come November 10th, and you’ll be able to snuggle up in your favorite sweater once more.

Sagittarius: Things have been quiet lately, a little too quiet. As the sign of adventure, you’re not used to coasting like this. When Mercury enters your sign mid-November, things will speed up again. So savor this time with a little self-care!

Capricorn: Dear altruistic mind, you’ve been feeling the weight of the world lately. Remember, you don’t have to take it all on yourself. Hold close to your loved ones, and invest in a weighted piece of jewelry to serve as a reminder of groundedness and tranquility.

Aquarius: Lately, your small world isn’t cutting it. You dream of something bigger, whether that be a cross-country move of an expansion of your social circle. The impulse is correct, but the timing is not. For now, focus on visioning out what you want from 2024, with a fashion and decor moodboard.

Pisces: Winter brings us all closer to our animal instincts, and in your case, to animals in general. If you don’t already have a pet, you might consider adopting one. If you have one, maybe they need a friend? Whatever you do, this month bodes well for finding your furry familiar.

Fashion trends come and go, but some pieces remain timeless, reinventing themselves in new and exciting ways. The leather trench coat has a rich history that dates back to the early 20th century, originally designed for military use. Why the resurgence? The leather trench coat embodies the perfect blend of nostalgia, sophistication, and edginess. It’s a versatile piece that can be styled for various occasions, from casual outings to formal events, making it a valuable addition to any woman’s wardrobe. Without further ado, here are some trench coat stylings we’re loving!

What better way to add a touch of magic to your holiday celebrations than with artful, festive cocktails? From traditional classics to innovative creations, the world of holiday cocktails is a treasure trove of flavors, colors, and aromas that can elevate your festive gatherings to a whole new level. Whether you’re hosting a girl’s dinner, friendsgiving, or a lively holiday party, there’s a holiday cocktail for every occasion!

Peppermintini
Whip together peppermint schnapps, vodka, creme de cacao, and heavy cream in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake vigorously until well-chilled, then strain the heavenly mixture into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a festive candy cane and enjoy the perfect blend of holiday cheer in every sip!

Eggnog
To create a warm and inviting bourbon-spiked eggnog, begin by mixing your favorite bourbon with a classic eggnog mix in a glass filled with ice. Give it a gentle stir, allowing the rich flavors to blend harmoniously. Finally, dust the top with a pinch of ground nutmeg, kick back, and savor the cozy indulgence of this festive concoction

Mulled Wine
Mulled wine is a delightful way to warm up during the chilly holiday season. Start by simmering a bottle of red wine in a large pot with spices like cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise. Add some orange zest and sugar for sweetness, and let the fragrant blend fill your home with the cozy aroma of the holidays.

Hot Buttered Rum
Hot buttered rum is a classic winter warmer that exudes comfort and cheer. Begin by combining a tablespoon of unsalted butter, a teaspoon of brown sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg in a heatproof mug. Pour in a shot of dark rum and fill the mug with hot water. Stir until the butter melts and the ingredients meld together, creating a soothing elixir that’s perfect for sipping by the fireside.

Apple Cider Mimosas
Fill a champagne flute halfway with chilled apple cider and top it off with your favorite sparkling wine or champagne, and watch as the bubbles dance with the sweet, fruity flavors. Sip, savor, and enjoy this drink as a perfect autumnal brunch treat!

Printed pants are a fantastic way to inject personality and pizzazz into your wardrobe. Whether you’re a fan of bold florals, classic stripes, or geometric patterns, there’s a print for everyone. Here’s an overview on the art of styling fashion-forward outfits incorporating fall’s favorite trend.

Balance with Solid Colors
One of the key principles of styling print pants is balance. Since the pants are already the focal point of your outfit, pair them with solid-colored tops and accessories.

Mix and Match Prints
If you’re feeling a bit adventurous, don’t hesitate to mix and match different prints. The key to mastering this technique is to ensure that the prints have complementary colors or themes. Once you play around with a few patterns, you’ll master the #powerclashing technique.

Go Monochromatic
Monochromatic outfits are not just for solid colors. You can create a chic and stylish look by wearing print pants and a matching top in the same color family. This approach can create a visually elongating effect, making you appear taller.

Add Layers
Layering can add sophistication and texture to your outfit while complementing your print pants. A light jacket, denim or leather, can be draped over your shoulders or worn over your top to add an extra dimension to your look.

Accessorize Wisely
Accessories can elevate your print pants outfit to the next level. Opt for simple and understated accessories that complement the colors in your print. A statement necklace, a sleek belt, or a coordinating handbag can tie the entire look together without overpowering it.

Confidence Is Key
Ultimately, the most crucial element in pulling off printed pants with style is confidence. Embrace your unique fashion choices and wear your printed pants with pride. When you feel good in what you’re wearing, it shows, and that’s what truly sets your style apart!

Move over, matte. This dazzling new beauty trend has taken the makeup industry by storm, offering a new dimension of shimmer to your eye makeup game. Metallic eyeshadow gained popularity during the 1960s and 1970s, thanks to the disco era. Today, it has made a comeback and evolved with a plethora of colors and formulations to choose from. Looking to make metallic eyeshadow your own? Here are a few tips to get your shine on.

Prime Your Lids: Start with a good eyeshadow primer to create a smooth canvas for your metallic eyeshadow. This step helps the eyeshadow adhere better and prevents creasing.

Choose the Right Tools: To achieve a flawless metallic eyeshadow look, consider using your fingertip or a flat, synthetic brush. These tools allow you to pack on the pigment and create intense color payoff.

Layering is Key: For an intense metallic effect, layer the eyeshadow. Start with a light layer and build up the intensity to your desired level.

Blend with Care: While the focus is on shimmer, don’t forget to blend the edges for a seamless transition between shades. A fluffy blending brush will be your best friend in this process.

Experiment with Colors: Metallic eyeshadows come in a wide range of colors, from gold and silver to bold jewel tones. Don’t be afraid to experiment and combine shades to create unique looks.

Aries: You’ve allowed the planets to wash over you this summer, enjoying blessings from Jupiter, Mars, and Venus alike. It’s all culminating in one final goddess moment: in late September, the new moon will be in perfect aspects aligned with your chart. Don your favorite gown (and buy a new one if you have to). It’s time to manifest big time!

Taurus: Though we’re flattered you’ve come to read your horoscope, you really don’t need to. Your intuition has been spot-on recently, and even if you think it wasn’t – it was. All we have to say is, sink in even deeper. Are some Carrie Bradshaw style shoes calling out to you like a siren? Check in with yourself, and if the feeling is right, pounce.

Gemini: You’ve been up to your typical social butterfly ways all summer, but you’re happy to wind things down a bit as the weather turns colder. Remember, all butterflies must live in a chrysalis before emerging again for the on-season. Wind down, and spin a cocoon of fine silky fabrics around you.

Cancer: Astrologically speaking, things remain quiet for you, dear Cancer. Not that you mind – you’re perfectly content to relax in your jammies for entire weekends at a time. But alas, solo slumber parties can’t last forever. Jupiter is looming on your horizon, and you’ll want to be ready. Take this change of seasons as a signal to begin dreaming big. Quick: grab some magazines and start vision boarding if you have to!

Leo: Can you feel the love tonight? With Venus in your sign all month, we know you definitely can! If you were feeling confident during your birthday month, get ready for more, because September will certainly top that! Wear something bold and showy, and everyone will fall under your spell.

Virgo: Ah, what is even going on! We’ll tell you what. Mercury’s been in retrograde in none other than your sign. Situations you’d otherwise be perfectly suited for seem strange and wrong. The universe plays no tricks: these are signs that you may be evolving. Take a look at your closet, and cleanse what no longer serves you.

Libra: Lucky you! With Mars in your sign, you’ve been feeling totally on your A-game! Despite all the big changes this summer brought, you endured them with strength, grace, and joy. Now, it’s time to rest on your laurels. Channel that last bit of Mars power into yourself. We’re talking: self care shopping trip!

Scorpio: Scorpio, you’ve been laying low through the end of this hot, hot summer. All good, it’s enough for you to lounge by the pool in your bikini and say nothing at all: your charisma works wonders. Keep up the chill vibes through this month, but get ready for a shift – in October, Mars will enter your sign and bring you an avalanche of energy.

Sagittarius: You’ve settled into a calmer state than whatever you were going through in the earlier months of the year. Fall (and a bit of Mars in Libra magic) bring you balance and clarity. Speaking of… it may be time to get your eyes checked! And get a new pair of frames while you’re at it.

Capricorn: Things are moving and shaking in Capricorn-land! Long-term Pluto will bless you with new fortune this month (if it hasn’t already). Whenever you’re ready, the universe will reward you. Go ahead, snag that somewhat impractical autumn coat you’ve been eyeing.

Aquarius: August was tough for water bearing folk. Stay strong – just a few more difficult days in September, and then towards the 15th the sky will clear up and give you some much needed space to breathe and think. Forget shopping – it’s time for a spa day!

Pisces: Saturn, the planet of lessons learned, remains in Pisces through the remainder of the year. It may be time for a fashion flashback – check out all your OOTD selfies from the past few months? What’s working, and what’s not? Make revisions accordingly, and embrace a more informed you.

Take a look around any party starting the week before Halloween, and you’re bound to see it: metallic shirts, metallic dresses, metallic jackets, leggings, skirts, and pants. Poof Apparel predicted this trend just a few short months ago and now it’s here in full-blown force! If you’re looking to add a little shimmer to your wardrobe, here are some of our favorite pieces this year.

Throwing a Halloween party? When celebrating spooky season with your grown-up friends, trick-or-treat candy won’t cut it. To really set the mood, enjoy some on-theme cocktails that are, shall we say, frighteningly delicious.

Mezcal Witch’s Brew
No doubt tequila can already lead to a scary time. Upgrade to the liquor’s more mature sister – mezcal has a delightfully smokey flavor. Mix with club soda and a single drop of poison green food coloring, and muddled frog guts mint leaves

Vampire Martinis
Whip up your favorite gin or vodka martini recipe, then add red food coloring and adorn the rim with fake vampire teeth and a cherry. Or, to go the poisoned apple route try an apple slice with a drizzle of honey.

Swamp Muck Sangria
Red wine sangria is delicious, but let’s be honest, it can have a certain mucky quality with enough added fruit. Lean into the madness and toss in a few gummy worms, then line the rim with black-dyed sugar for added effect.

Even Bloodier Mary
If you’re in a pinch, you don’t need to do much to elevate this already-scary-named drink to Halloween cocktail status. Just quick-pickle some pearl onions, pierce them with olives and a toothpick, and voila! You’ve got floating eyeballs to enjoy with your drink.

Cauldron Punch
When in doubt, serve a spiked rum punch in a cooler-like cauldron. If you’re going the dry ice route, keep a few safety tips in mind: always break it up before you open the bag, use tongs to place it in the bat, and let it sink to the bottom before serving! Dry ice makes for cool smokey fog, but is extremely dangerous to the touch. Stay spooky, and stay safe!

Lace-adorned apparel is an excellent option for spooky season, when lace-up corsets and goth-chic pieces come to mind. But lace can have many diverse applications, and it’s up to you to incorporate it into your style how you please! Go classic with a zip-up, clasp, or bodycon corset, or opt for an eyelet pattern for a more cottagecore vibe. When in doubt, accessories are always an option, and a little lace trim as a choker or on your socks goes a long way to add a touch of sweetness! Here are a few of our favorite pieces this season to get you inspired.

The statement piece of the season is undeniably moto jackets. Chic leather or pleather, biker, flight or aviator style, there are many options but one thing’s for sure: it’s a wardrobe necessity. If you’re not sold on the trend, here are a few different styling approaches to help you out.

With September comes the arrival of arguably the best season of the year: sweater weather. Dressing for autumn is easy when you have an incredible collection of sweaters at the ready – just pair with chic slacks, a miniskirt and tights, and you’re good to go. Truly, the possibilities are endless. As you start building your sweater collection, enjoy Poof Apparel’s rundown of the top trending sweater styles of 2023.

It’s always best to begin with the basics. A form-flattering black turtleneck is absolutely a wardrobe essential, ideal for pairing with jackets and vests, or wearing as your go-to workplace top.

Sweater Mini-Dress
Embrace your inner Bond girl with an oh-so-’70s mini dress in a cool color. In these outfits, accessories are everything.

Loose Knit Crochet
Layer for a bit of extra colorful coverage, or wear sheer and solo for a bolder look.

Retro Sweater Vest
Argyle comes in and out of fashion, and we’re excited to say that for 2023 it is absolutely in. Make sure to select one featuring hot 2023 colors like bold red, Barbie pink, and chartreuse.

Chunky & Oversized
Time to cozy up! You need at least two or three plushy oversized sweaters in your closet for easy casual outfits that still make a statement.

Matching Sets
Sweaters aren’t just for tops anymore! To really take your sweater game to the next level, pair it with a loose-knit skirt in an matching color. You’ll be raking in the compliments all season long!

Tanning weather has come and gone, but the sun is here to stay. Light around the autumnal equinox can be super-bright, so make sure you’re protected with UV-filtering sunglasses in an array of chic styles. Not sure where to start? Here are some of our favorite trends of 2023.

Colorful Lenses
From Y2K bedazzlement to retro glamor – when it comes to colorful lenses, the bigger the better.

Sporty Bikers
No athletic experience is required to rock a pair of futuristic silvery sport shades

Retro 90’s
Oval frames were all the rage in the 1990s. Do it your way with “frameless” colored glasses, or go totally classic with little black sunnies.

Timeless Tortoiseshell
Equal parts 1960s Hollywood and 2010 it-girl, tortoiseshell frames will simply never go out of style.

Retro 90’s
Oval frames were all the rage in the 1990s. Do it your way with “frameless” colored glasses, or go totally classic with little black sunnies.

You worked hard all spring to get that bikini body, and spent the summer soaking up the sun and feeling like your best self. Whatever your lifelong fitness goals are, it’s always nice to take a break and just enjoy life for a bit. But for many people, autumn is a great time to get back in the flow. Cooler weather brings runners back to the park, and fewer social functions mean there’s more time to hit the gym. You probably know all of the basic workouts, so here are a few ideas on ways to exercise that you might not have considered before!

Acro Yoga: Drop in on any Acro class and you’ll quickly learn why it stands for “acrobat.” Acro focuses on partnership poses, which use balance to reach impressive heights and truly intriguing positions. You’d be amazed at what you can accomplish with just a little support!

Rollerblading: This timeless sport is now regaininf popularity as it was recently re-popularized by The Barbie Movie. Rollerblading is a great way to get in some cardio while also getting around – have wheels, will travel! Bonus points for colorful skates, and neon kneepads to match!

Kickboxing: Equal parts strength training and cardio, kickboxers also often report a great sense of emotional release when practicing. If you want to sink into the most powerful version of yourself, this is a great way to do it.

Dance Classes: Although Pure Barre has been the reigning queen of dance classes as of late, there’s so much to explore within this genre. Hip hop, ecstatic dance, burlesque, and even pole practice are just some of the many options. If you have the drive to dance, you’re bound to find a perfect fit. Plus, the outfits are so cute!

Softball: What could be more autumnal than a bit of the great American pastime? Most cities have recreational leagues, where you can bring together a group of your friends for a weekend game or even a tournament. No prior experience necessary, if everyone’s willing to be a good sport!

From Viva Magenta to Barbie pink, 2023 has been a fiery year so far. As the leaves change colors and pumpkin spiced lattes hit the stands once again, we’re seeing more and more red garments on the streets (and no, we’re not just talking about Doja Cat). As you plan your autumn wardrobe, here are a few red hot looks from some of our favorite Instagram influencers and models to get you inspired.

Aries: As summer breezes on, you’re feeling the twinges of something serious. It makes sense, your fire-sign sibling Leo is blazing in Mercury. You’ll need all the focus you can get in the coming months, so for now focus on creating the perfect capsule wardrobe — and be prepared to jet off at a moment’s notice.

Taurus: You’ve been basking in the heat all season long, not unlike a lizard! Embrace your inner wild thing and invest in a funky print from the animal kingdom. You decide whether spots, stripes, or scales are your thing.

Gemini: As you look around at your friend group, you’re beaming at the wonderful community you’ve created. Remember — you’re the catalyst for all the good times you’re having! Celebrate by throwing a party with an apparel twist — a costume ball, a tie dye session, or heck, rally everyone to get matching T-shirts and go dancing. It’ll be great, because you’re there!

Cancer: Moonchild, you’re feeling a bit sentimental lately. It makes sense, as so many of the best memories are made in summer, and you’re thinking of times bygone. Lean in to your emotions and mend something near and dear to you. Hit up a tailor or watch smith and see how you feel when old becomes new again.

Leo: With Mercury in your sign all of last month, you were feeling a bit impulsive. Now, you’ve got a slight emotional hangover. Avoid big shopping trips for a minute and think about what you can do with what’s already in your closet. As a Leo, you love to learn, so watch a few videos on different styling techniques. Things will feel fresh in no time.

Virgo: Your birthday is fast approaching, and it couldn’t be coming at a better time. Summer has been fruitful for you, and you’ve accomplished many of the goals you set for yourself. Now, it’s time for a reward! Get that tracksuit, fancy dress, or designer mini you’ve been admiring for so long.

Libra: You’ve made a series of quick decisions lately, but you stand by them — and so do the stars. Still, it left you with a life you almost don’t recognize in comparison to last month. To adjust, take comfort in the things you know you’ll always love. Visit your favorite store, and remind yourself that despite the changes, you carry a consistency within your heart.

Scorpio: Everyone around you is still in summer mode, but you’re looking toward the future. You’ve got a lot of plans which require careful planning. Luckily, this means you’re in the right mindset to snag the best deals. Be on the lookout for end-of-summer sales, and you’re sure to strike it rich.

Sagittarius: Things have been quiet for you, lately, Sagittarius, and it’s starting to make you a bit suspicious. While often, we wait for the universe to give us a sign, the stars’ silence are in themselves a message: it’s time for you to make the next move. Hype yourself up by buying something in a precious metal — gold, silver, or titanium.

Capricorn: You’ve been working a bit too hard for this weather, but luckily you have some easier days on the horizon. These next few weeks will be an effort to push through, but they’re nothing a little forward-looking shopping trip can’t cure! Treat yourself to a new bikini, and get ready for smoother sailing.

Aquarius: As the most unique sign, sometimes people don’t know quite what to do with you. Lately, you think they’ve been putting you in the wrong boxes. You know your worth, and it’s up to you to communicate that. Dress for the role you want in life, and go get ‘em tiger.

Pisces: Everything is aligning for you lately, but life isn’t without its fair share of chaos. Somehow, you feel still amid these murky waters, but you’ll need your wits about you for what’s coming next. Go to the optometrist, renew your prescription, and get a cute new pair of glasses. Then, be on the lookout.

At this point, it’s fair to say that white sneakers are a modern classic. Whether it’s Adidas or Converse, platforms or low-tops, no girl’s closet is complete without this staple all-timer of a shoe. As white sneakers become more and more ubiquitous, increasingly creative ways of styling them are cropping up online, in magazines, and on the runway. While you dust off your fave pair, here are some inspirational looks to remind you how far you and your sneaks can go:

Recently, makeup styles trending online, on Tok Tok, and on other social media tend to be of the more neutral variety, emphasizing natural tones and blush palettes. But as late summer weather approaches, a new style is popping up more and more on our newsfeeds: latte makeup. Here’s why we’re loving this look, and a few tips on how to achieve it on your own.

Summertime Shapeshifter: Whatever shades you select for your personal latte makeup look, you can adjust the amount you use to be more toned down or dressed up. It’s perfect for summer days where you’re never quite sure where you’re heading next. Try a light latte for lounging by a pool, then add a double-shot of espresso eyeshadow for a night on the town.

Embracing Inclusivity: Latte makeup is a slightly larger-than-life, glamorous style that incorporates various shades of tan and brown, from shimmery satin to caramel brown. Whatever your skin tone, the look can be adapted to perfectly suit your features and highlight your natural beauty.

The Return of Glam: Although we love the model-off-duty look, there’s something so exciting about really getting dressed out for a night out. Latte makeup leans into all things glamorous, and the effect is equal parts siren, cat-eye, and supermodel.

Get the Look:
1. Use a silky smooth foundation or concealer in your natural skin tone as your base layer.
2. Embrace your inner artist and paint on various shades of brown. The darkest shades should go on first, around your lashes and outer eye. Then, dust a medium shade over your lid and up to your brow bone. Finally, apply the lightest shade as a highlighter to the inner corner of your eye and just beneath your eyebrow.
3. Apply thick but smudgy eyeliner to the outer corners of your eyelids, skipping your inner eyelids entirely. Avoid liquid eyeliners, which will have too precise a look. Instead, opt for a stick, or better yet use your eyeshadow powder with just a bit of water.
4. It’s time to decorate! Pair your latte makeup with a velvety pink or red, a shimmery yet faint blush, and a bit more highlighter on the tip of your nose. The look is complete!

It’s hot out there, ladies. Water’s great, and we’re loving seltzer, but sometimes those just won’t do. To enjoy your summer days in true style, a special drink is in order. Here are the five drinks we love to sip on most in the summertime.

Classic Bloody Mary
We’re starting off simple, because summer isn’t complete without a few afternoon Bloody Mary’s! Begin with a recipe of vodka, tomato juice, horseradish, Tabasco, and Worcestershire, then top it off with a stick of celery for that photo-ready look.

Watermelon Margarita
There are so many delicious twists on margaritas, but the most refreshing has gotta be watermelon with a lil’ fire. It’s super simple to get this one right: just combine your favorite tequila and lime juice with blended watermelon, then mix in some chili lime spice for extra pizazz.

Icy Mint Mojito
With just five easy-to-get ingredients – white rum, sugar, lime juice, soda water, and crushed mint – this is an easy one to make in a pitcher for girl’s night. If you’re feeling fancy, add a dash of blue curaçao to get that electric blue look.

Piña Colada
If you’re craving a sweet treat, look no further. A classic piña colada starts with both white and dark rum, pineapple juice, and coconut milk. An even better piña colada is topped with whipped coconut cream for extra vacation indulgence. You deserve it!

Smoky Paloma
This cocktail typically features tequila, but for a more adult version, use mezcal. Combine with lime juice and grapefruit soda, then salt the rim. To finish with flair, add a smoked twig of rosemary for garnish. This fire-fresh cocktail is a real end-of-summer treat.

Runways, celebrities, and influencers alike have taken on a particular sort of sheen this year. Shimmer – be it metallics, sequins, glitter, or straight up gold, is everywhere. Why is our thirst for brilliance so insatiable in 2023? Shiny things are, in a somewhat literal sense, the most basic form of glamor. From a more scientific perspective, some studies have indicated that our draw to shine is an evolutionary byproduct of our survival instincts: it soothes the same part of our brain that draws us to water.

When you get down to it, one doesn’t need much explanation to enjoy this trend. It shines for itself. Check out these iconic looks, from retro to space age, to get inspired:

Everybody is talking about Y2K, but what does it really mean? At its core, early-2000’s style is a mix of the grunge-pop aesthetic of the ‘90s and the colorful, accessory-obsessed trends boosted by the dawn of computers. No garment better exemplifies this history than the babydoll top.

From a 90s essential to a cute necessary 2010 wardrobe piece, these fun, flowy, statement mini-tops aren’t going anywhere. And with so many variations, it’s easy to adapt this trend to your personal style. Here are our favorite interpretations of babydoll tops, from frilly, to graphic, to bold.

This cute and feminine piece that can easily be dressed down or up depending on the occasion.

A double layered top that adds an extra something to a simple daily look, and provides enough support for long days on-the-go.

Make a statement with a cute crop top – bonus points for a quirky, sardonic phrase!

It’s not your typical baby tee, but it does take inspiration from the style. This “skims” tee has become a new necessary basic for the wardrobe, hugging your silhouette in a flattering way.

Embrace your ‘90s dreams with a colorful, bedazzled crop tee. With this much sparkle, it doesn’t take much else to make this outfit complete.

With this record-breaking summer heat, it’s no wonder sheer garments are all the rage. Tops and dresses made of transparent silk, mesh, or lace are an easy way to add complexity to your outfit without packing on an extra layer. There’s no one particular way to do it right – you can go full on princess, or aim for an edgier, all-black look. Here are some of our favorite moments from fashionistas rocking this trend with confidence and flair.

It’s officially summer, which means all of our calendars are dotted with much-needed weekend getaways and vacations abroad. The downside to travel is packing. How to prepare? What to wear?? And for Pete’s sake, what if it rains???

Take a breath. Poof’s got you covered with timeless and essential travel pieces which you can adapt to whatever’s trending at your destination. These reliable pieces are versatile, helping you pack light and focus on what’s really important: relaxing and having the time of your life!

A Crossbody BagThough you may be tempted to pack your mini-bag, skip it for vacation. A crossbody bag is a necessity to store all your essentials and extra travel pieces. Cute, comfy, and easy to carry.

Veja Sneakers
Hands down, THE most comfortable shoe for long walking tours and ambling walks around the airport. Plus, a white sneaker is universally stylish.

A Patterned Bikini
Ideally, you should pack a few swimsuits. One neutral-colored bikini, a one-piece (for daring cliff dives) and a suit that will pop on camera. When everyone’s posting their throwback pics, you’ll want to stand out in something flattering and unique.

Wide-Legged Pants
By now, you’ve surely heard that skinny jeans are over. Wherever you go, a comfy pair of white or tan wide-legged pants will help you fit in seamlessly. Go for a pair in a light, breezy fabric like linen or 100% cotton.

You don’t want to be checking everyone’s tags at baggage claim. Skip the black suitcase and get something distinctly you, with plenty of room and pockets for all the goodies you’ll be bringing back home.

Next time you’re out and about on the subway or at a posh restaurant, look around at everybody’s hands. You’re likely to notice some distinctly eye-catching nails. Shimmery, iridescent, and slightly… glazed? That’s right, it’s the great “Glazed Donut Nails” trend of 2023! Popularized by Hailey Bieber, this look has caught on in the wake of a turn towards clean, natural beauty, emphasizing dewy, minimalist looks instead of bold glamor.

While Bieber is the keystone figure of this trend, it’s also been promoted by stars like Vanessa Hudgens and Sydney Sweeney, who are both known for their chic runway looks and slight bohemian flair. In many ways, glazed nails are becoming the new summer neutral, blending seamlessly with many styles and adding a touch of elegance to any outfit.

There’s no doubt that glazed nails have gained so much traction due to the simplicity of how you can do them yourself. The common tutorial advises two coats of clear nail polish, a pearl iridescent shade, and a topcoat to finish. It may take a few tries to get it looking Bieber-perfect, so while you try it out, here are a few inspo shots to aim for.

Aries: Venus and Mars in Leo are working in your favor, bringing you zippy motivation, days of fun, and plenty of attention. However, you’re more of a beloved side character this month. Lean into this by having your own one-off life episode – go on a solo trip, and pack the perfect pair of shoes!

Taurus: With both Jupiter and Uranus in your sign for the better part of the year, your long term visions are coming clearly into sight. The path forward is uniquely yours, so ignore your haters, embrace your friends, and wear that crazy thing you found at the vintage shop.

Gemini: This month’s planetary chart is dominated by Pisces, Leo, and Taurus, leaving very little breathing room for a sparkly air sign like yourself. Take it as a sign to check in with yourself – what do you need to stay connected with your inner strength? Is it a ballgown? It’s probably a ballgown.

Cancer: Your birthday season comes to a close this month, and you’re glowing. This year was not only a good one, it brought you a momentous shift. You now know how brilliant you are, and how far you can go. One could say you “wear the pants” these days. So go ahead and buy an amazing new pair!

Leo: This month is go-go-go for you, fueled by Mars and Venus in your sign and of course, your upcoming birthday! You’ll want to sparkle and shine for the ongoing festivities, so now’s the chance to snatch up that nice piece of jewelry you’ve been eyeing. You deserve it!

Virgo: When Mars enters Virgo on July 10th, you’ll be blessed with a rush of drive and energy. Perhaps you’re already feeling it! Until then, put off shopping, as it will only take twice as long. By mid-month, you’ll have clear sight as to what you truly need.

Libra: Summer is your season, but lately all your efforts to organize have fallen flat. Trust the signs of the universe by switching up your own pattern – instead of directing, try going with the flow a bit more. Some loose, silky tops will help you connect with your more relaxed nature.

Scorpio: Though some people think of you as secretive and reserved, lately, you’ve felt most alive with your amazing friends and some great tunes in the background. This is an important season of life for you, key to your mid-winter hibernation. Continue living to the fullest by making a few impulse purchases during the end-of-summer sale season.

Sagittarius: As the wisest of the fire signs, summer is always an interesting time for you. Your astrological siblings, Leo and Aries, flit about aimlessly. Meanwhile, you crave something deeper. Try this little experiment: next time you go shopping, run your hands over the fabrics with your eyes closed. When a garment feels electric, pull it, then buy it. Let fate decide the rest.

Capricorn: Taurus, your sister sign, is ruling the Earth for most of the year. This is good news for you, as her grounded nature mirrors your own, but with a bit more feminine softness. Follow her lead and lean into your girly side. Get some new jewelry, doll up your hair, and maybe, just maybe, put on some pink.

Aquarius: There are no air signs in this month’s chart, allowing you to drift blissfully undercover. After a few months in the spotlight, it’s a welcome change to return to your shadow self. Embrace your inner shapeshifter by investing in a new eyeshadow palette.

Pisces: Neptune and Saturn are in your sign, making you feel as dreamy as ever. The good news is, while these planets rule in your favor, everyone around you will begin to understand your perspective more and more. Now is your chance to step into power – wear a silk suit!

Aries: You kicked off this season with a birthday, and now as spring comes to a close you’re finally beginning to settle into your new age. This summer brings a grounded, certain energy to you, dear Aries. Always wear exactly what you want and nothing less.

Taurus: Of all the signs, June has the most in store for you, dear Taurus. With Mercury, Jupiter, and Uranus alight in your chart, get ready for changes both big and small. The events of this month will set long-term themes for the rest of the year – make sure you have a few fancy event outfits on hand. It’s best to be prepared for greatness.

Gemini: We don’t need to tell you to have a party – it’s your birthday season! Even if you’re feeling a bit stuck these days, don’t miss the chance to celebrate yourself and everything you’ve accomplished. Wear something totally out of character, like a really frilly dress or some faux-snakeskin boots. You may surprise yourself.

Cancer: With Venus in your sign at the beginning of this month, you’ve been feeling the love. Maybe it’s a new crush, maybe it’s the wonderful support of your friends, maybe it’s some juicy self-care. Either way, keep the good times rolling: treat yourself to some clay masks, a jade roller, and a lavish robe to wear around the house.

Leo: Hellooooo, Leo! After a way-too-long chill period, things are finally popping off again. Summer is in the air and it’s making your hair look fabulous. You’ve got a lot to celebrate this month, and it’s gonna be a busy one, so we’ll cut to the chase: you NEED metals. New bling, a chainmail shirt, whatever you decide – it’ll keep you looking and feeling cool all season long.

Virgo: Although it may not feel like it right now, you are leveling up. This summer, you’ll shed habits that are no longer serving you and rise like a phoenix from the ashes. You know that that means: wear something as daring and as powerful as you are. Fire print, vinyl, spikes, what have you. Fashion your ally in manifesting the life of your dreams.

Libra: Let’s get this party started, Libra! Everyone loves summer, but probably you more than most. You’re feeling totally in your element and looking forward to a busy (but meticulously planned) season. The next step? Focus on building the perfect capsule wardrobe, collecting five key high-quality basics which will keep you on track even when life gets wild.

Scorpio: You’ve been flying under the radar lately, but your moment in the spotlight is coming soon. This summer, play around as much as possible and get plenty of rest. Really take it easy. Because come fall, opportunity will strike and you’ll want to be ready. While shopping, trust your gut instinct. Don’t follow trends, just your own intuition.

Sagittarius: June kicks off with a full moon lunar eclipse on June 3rd. The after-effects will be potent for a few days, so harness that mysterious feminine energy by getting clear on your next big goal. Imagine yourself at the end of this summer. What are you wearing? Now make it a reality – you have the strength.

Capricorn: Pluto, the longest-orbiting planet and ruler of tech, mystery, and the ineffable, has been in your sign since 2008. This year, it’s making its big shift to Aquarius, toggling between the two signs for a few months. Pluto returns to Capricorn for the rest of the year on June 11th, so think of this as your last shot to harness the full power of the planet for many years. Fashion advice? Two words: pearl buttons.

Aquarius: You feel at home during the warmer months, when you’re free to lounge on a field outside while wearing as many fun prints as you want. The stars are aligned for you this month – feel free to keep doing what you’re doing, and hit up plenty of vintage shops while this good luck is on your side.

Pisces: Sweet Pisces, you’re full of hope and excitement about the summer. Your social group is strong and ready to support you through this wonderful season. Lean into all the love you’re feeling, and go on a group shopping trip with your ride or dies! Bonus points if you emerge with matching outfits.

During the lead-up to summer, everybody is focused on finding the perfect swimsuit. But what happens later, when you’re hanging out with your friends all day at the beach, enjoying the sunset, only to be overtaken by a sudden chill?

Crochet sweaters solve the problem of late-night goosebumps at the beach. Loose, light, and easy to pack, they’re the perfect accessory for long evenings by the shore. Here are a few of our favorite options!

The Classic Crochet
A simple, white sweater with a loose patterned knit will go with just about anything in your wardrobe. Plus, you can still show off your bikini top while you wear it!

Sweet Stripes
This little striped number has a preppy mid-2000’s appeal, and will blend with the oceanic scenery.

Gotta Have a Hoodie!
For a little extra coverage (not to mention hair protection from the salt-strewn wind) we love this chic mesh option!

Colorful & Cropped
Flaunt your style and work on your tan in this fun and flirty piece. We especially love the ribbon detailing!

Bahama Bohemian
To fully embrace the Malibu hippie lifestyle, rock this funky floral pattern in bright, retro colors.

Summer is a great time to detox from your cooped-up wintertime habits and start fresh. And during hot days, a light and cool meal is a welcome treat. With all this in mind, we’re pronouncing this the Summer of the Salad! Here are some of our favorite, most refreshing salad ideas:

Greek Salad
Vine-ripened tomatoes take the place of leafy greens in this recipe. With briny olives, fresh oregano, and plenty of feta, each bite is heaven!

Quinoa Salad
For a protein-packed veggie bonanza, try out a quinoa salad topped with radish, asparagus, and hard-boiled egg halves. It’s power food like this that’ll keep you going strong all summer long!

Caesar Salad
This one’s an oldie but a goodie. Keep plenty of farm-fresh lettuce in your fridge so you can whip up a quick Caesar anytime. Just add chicken, tomatoes, and a simple lemon juice dressing! Parmesan shavings take it to a whole ‘nother level of deliciousness.

Arugula Goat Cheese Salad
Arugula is an excellent base for any salad – with a crunchy, slightly peppery flavor. Pair with fresh fruit, goat cheese, chopped nuts, and your favorite dressing and you’ve got, well, your favorite salad!

Caprese Salad
Here’s another one for tomato lovers – alternate tomato slices with fresh mozzarella, then drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. The shredded basil leaves make this recipe taste even fresher.

Italian Pasta Salad
Did you know that when pasta is cold, you’re legally allowed to call it a salad? We’ll be taking advantage of that fact for the rest of the summer, thank you very much. Mix cooked noodles with pesto, mozzarella, and sundried tomatoes for a nourishing meal after beachin’ all day.

It’s Hot Girl Summer, it’s Feral Girl Summer, it’s the Summer of Love, again. It can be difficult to keep track of the overall “vibe” of any given season, but one thing’s for sure: summer is the best time to undergo a major glow-up. If you’re looking to emerge in August with super dewy, youthful, gorgeous skin, here are six hot tips to keep in mind:

Switch from a cream-based moisturizer to a gel. In the summertime, your skin is less dry. Gels rest lighter on your skin, going easy on your pores. You’ll still want to keep hydrated and moisturize every evening – especially when your air conditioner is on blast.

Try double-cleansing! The two-step practice of following an oil-based cleanser with a water-based wash is a staple of K-Beauty tradition. Grab some jojoba oil and try it yourself!

Invest in a luxurious sunscreen. It’s no secret that you need to be using sunscreen every day to prevent sun damage over time. Why not make it a daily treat to yourself by getting a really nice product? Aim for something that has high SPF and feels light on your skin.

Establish a recurring spa day. Though it’s tempting to use every product in your arsenal, every day – resist the urge. It’s not good for your skin to be overloaded with opposing recipes! Instead, set aside one day a week to use all your special things, like sheet masks and jade rollers.

Love your lips! We often focus on the forehead, chin, and cheeks when developing our skincare routine, but there are plenty of ways to achieve a perfect pout! Use a lip mask or lip scrub to get a clean slate, then apply an oil-based balm for glowy goodness.

Live like a girlboss. Products will only get your partway to your skincare goals. To look like a well-rested, healthy, in-her-lane goddess, you’ve gotta walk! This summer, prioritize eating well, getting good sleep, and of course, washing your face every single night. No exceptions!

Vogue, InStyle, and Cosmopolitan have all documented the revival of 1990’s-style slip dresses, and with summer’s imminent arrival, the trend is poised to skyrocket. Before you rush to your local lingerie store, check out these tips on how to style your dress-of-the-summer!
