And baby makes four: Anne Hathaway just revealed she’s expecting her second child, who will join her and Adam Shulman’s 3-year-old son, Jonathan. Instead of a swimsuit reveal or red carpet debut, Hathaway opted to announce her pregnancy with a chill mirror selfie in a HATCH Linen Swing Tank ($78) and denim shorts, and it couldn’t be more relatable. Plus, she added a heartfelt statement to her announcement: “For everyone going through infertility and conception hell, please know it was not a straight line to either of my pregnancies,” Hathaway wrote on Instagram. “Sending you extra love.”

Not that we’re complaining at all, but celebrities tend to love dramatic baby bump reveals, so Hathaway’s announcement feels refreshingly low-key. Who could forget Cardi B’s onstage reveal, Beyoncé’s elaborately staged photo shoot, or Blake Lively’s surprise red carpet pregnancy debut? At the end of the day, we love any and all types of announcements (or lack thereof, if that’s your thing) since it’s always a matter of personal preference. Scroll down to see Hathaway’s baby bump reveal.

Vans became the original skateboarding shoe back in 1976 when the Van Doren family released the iconic style #95, aka the Vans Era.

The classic silhouette, sturdy construction, and padded collar withstood the demands of gritty ’70s-era skaters carving concrete pools and city streets, and became not only the blueprint for skate performance footwear for decades to come, but its multi-panel construction inspired countless sneaker designs. 

The Vans Era has seen numerous style updates and colorways since then, and the new Era 3RA Vision Voyage pack is just the latest twist on the classic kicks. The most notable feature of the new Era update is the pronounced stitching at each intersecting panel of the sneaker. 

Every original stitching placement extends and transforms the original canvas with multiplied deco stitching, chunky toe bumpers and three heel scabs. The Era 3RA will be available in three colorways including navy, black and true white.

In early 2019, Omega announced that it was bringing back its Calibre 321 mechanism. On July 20, the 50th anniversary of the Moon Landing, the iconic Swiss watchmaker released the new Speedmaster Moonwatch 321 Platinum—the first new model powered by the movement in over 60 years.

Omega first used that special movement in 1957. Astronauts later wore Calibre 321 Speedmasters on spacewalks and Neil Armstrong was wearing one when the U.S. landed on the Moon. 

More intriguing than resurrecting Calibre 321: The subdials on this Speedmaster have been made with pieces of meteorites that originated from the Moon. You’ll be wearing a true piece of space travel history on your wrist.  

Other details:

• A 42 mm case which is fashioned using gold from a platinum alloy
• 18-karat white gold hands
• Case design looks back to Speedmaster’s 4th generation with unique twisted lugs
• Platinum-buckled black leather strap
• Sleek black ceramic bezel bearing the classic tachymeter scale in white enamel
• Onyx step dial
• Most notably: Those authentic slices of Moon meteorite embedded in the three subdials

Unfortunately, Omega enthusiasts will have to wait for their chance at this celebration of space history—the price isn’t set yet, and the Speedmaster Moonwatch 321 Platinum won’t be available till the winter of 2019-2020.

PSA: Now and Then is coming to a Netflix queue near you. If you’re anything like me and hold a deeply nostalgic place in your heart for this classic coming-of-age flick, then you probably jumped for joy at the thought of getting to rewatch all the summertime shenanigans that these four middle schoolers get into. Between scenes of idyllic bike rides, stolen kisses, and secret swimming holes, the girls deal with all the angst and drama that goes along with being a 12-year-old, but beyond the plotline, the movie’s perfect ’70s-era wardrobe should be the reason you hit play.

Each girl has her own distinct personality and style in the movie, and each time I watch it, I find myself identifying with a different character. Am I Samantha, the brooding tomboy with a wardrobe of oversize shirts; Chrissy, the innocent girly-girl who always wears pink; Roberta, the science nerd with “chill” style; or Teeny, the precocious leader of the pack who favors a more revealing silhouette? Regardless of which character I chose, I revel in the perfect summer outfits they wear throughout the movie—and TBH, I’d copy any of them today, too.

Scroll down to see my favorite style moments from Now and Then, peruse my shopping picks for each look, and be sure to queue up the movie for your next Netflix sesh.

Next, the five simple summer outfits I always fall back on when there’s nothing to wear.

I’m constantly scouring Instagram to see which shopping finds fashion insiders are wearing at the moment across the globe.
