As we make our way through October, we get closer and closer to Halloween, a.k.a. the one night on the Gregorian calendar where people are free — nay, encouraged — to wear sexed up costumes of inanimate objects, government officials, religious figures, etc. and feel amazing doing it.

In the glorious photo gallery above, check out top 20 best-selling “sexy” costumes from the unofficial sexy costume authority, Yandy. You’re welcome, people.

Additionally, let’s also take a look at some of the more, uh, controversial and just downright WTF-worthy “sexy” costumes out there, because why wouldn’t we?

“Shining Bright Pope”

As Rihanna once said in a song: Shine bright like a…
Pope?

Yeah, that sounds right. If you’re interested in this sexy Pope costume for whatever reason, you can find it right here.

“Brave Red Maiden” inspired by The Handmaid’s Tale

After receiving huge backlash for obvious reasons, the costume was pulled from the site. 

“Sexy Pocahontas”

A sexy Pocahontas….Pocahottie? Also very controversial. I’m honestly concerned there might be a “Sexy Squanto” costume too, but I’m not even going to look that up.

“Despicable Human”

I will never not laugh at the name Despicable Human. But Minions are annoying as hell, so it’s actually fitting.

“Canary Cutie Bird”

This just looks like someone ran over Tweety with a steamroller. Poor little guy.

And lastly, behold the latest Halloween trend we can totally get behind: Behold, Glitter Pumpkin Butts.

Bootyful! 

Happy Halloween, my friends. 

For those among us with classic style, it can be a little discouraging when all the latest trends and It items seem to cater toward a more maximalist aesthetic (we’re looking at you, neon and tinsel). So that’s why we decided to source the best fall pieces the internet has to offer. We found sweaters, shoes, jeans, accessories, and so much more, and a variety of brands and price points are represented.

No matter what your budget and wardrobe needs, among these 47 stylish classic pieces, we’d be shocked if you don’t find what you’re looking for. Even if you don’t have classic style per se, we all need pieces to wear with those trendier, more “extra” ones. And don’t worry, while these basics are certainly subdued, they’re far too chic to be considered boring. Keep scrolling to shop all 47 of the best classic pieces for fall.

Ah, the ’90s. The excess of the ’80s was still alive and well, albeit a slightly grungier version. There were also plenty of ’90s trends that went in the polar opposite direction and embraced minimalism to a T. As is to be expected, these overarching themes didn’t stop at just clothing and accessories. Lingerie styles also followed the trends of the decade—and since wearing pieces that showed off your lingerie started to become a thing in the ’80s, it only gained steam in the ’90s, making what undergarments you chose to wear more important than ever.

Just like every other ’90s trend there was, lingerie trends from the decade have also made a comeback, many of which were and are controversial for one reason or another (but more on that below). With that, read on to find out which five lingerie trends of the ’90s are officially back, whether you like it or not.

When we think of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha, their engagement rings aren’t exactly the first things we think about. But in reality, their betrothal jewelry played rather significant roles in the overall stories on the show—who can forget Carrie wearing Aidan’s engagement ring around her neck instead of on her ring finger?!

We thought we’d honor the perpetually single ladies of Manhattan’s un-singledom by taking a look back at their rocks and hunting down modern versions of them. Keep scrolling to see the engagement rings of Sex and the City, and shop pieces inspired by them!

A fall staple.

When you invest in a designer handbag, you want it to be exactly that: an investment. However, with so many new It bags constantly emerging, it can be hard to decide which one you should spend your money on. To help you make that tough decision, there are some obvious rules. For example, you should always consider opting for a bag in one color so that it seamlessly blends into your wardrobe without any fuss. You also want to make sure it’s easy to carry (sounds obvious, but we’ve witnessed otherwise), so you’ll not trade it in for something else in your closet. Finally, it must fit your essentials, as otherwise, you’ll always end up swapping it for something more sizeable.

There are plenty of styles that fit the bill, but over the past few years or so, one has emerged as more popular than the others: the Gucci Soho Disco bag. Launched in 2014, the piece has been carried by many an A-lister, including Emma Roberts, Selena Gomez, and Amber Heard, which is always a guarantee of an iconic bag in the making. We also spoke to the team over at Lyst, the global fashion search platform, about the product, who revealed that the Gucci Soho Disco bag receives, on average, over 3000 searches a month, making it the most popular bag over the past six months.

Not only does the piece currently come in those aforementioned classic colors—black, red, beige, and white—but it easily fits your everyday items (personally, we really stuff everything in there), and it can go across your body, making it super easy to sling on and forget about. Keep scrolling for a look at the bag in action and then shop it.

Back in June, Sotheby’s announced it would be offering up an extraordinary collection of pieces for sale in Geneva in an auction entitled “Royal Jewels from the Bourbon-Parma Family” come November 14, 2018. Now, just a few months away from the sale that is considered to be one of the “most important royal Jewellery collections ever to be presented at an auction,” per the press release, new additions have been added that can be traced back to Queen Marie Antoinette of France.

“Never in the course of history has the destiny of a queen been so closely associated with jewels than that of Marie Antoinette,” the press release reads. “Her great love of pearls and diamonds is well-known and a number of historians have cited Napoleon’s view, that the so-called ‘affair of the diamond necklace’ – a scandal which tarnished the queen’s reputation in 1785 – was one of the causes of the French Revolution.”

The collection includes 10 pieces that belonged to Queen Marie Antoinette, including a pair of diamond and pearl earrings estimated to cost between 200,000 to 300,000 CHF, a beautiful six-strand pearl necklace, and a stunning diamond brooch from the late 18th century. 

As mentioned earlier, the extensive collection will officially be put up for auction on November 14, 2018 in Geneva. But prior to this date, highlights will be put on display around the world in a public exhibition, including in New York (October 12 -16), London (October 20-22), and Singapore (October 26-27). Jewelry-lovers, this is your chance to see these historic jewels first-hand.

When the best dressed models and actresses in Hollywood latch onto one specific bag trend, it’s only a matter of time before everyone else follows suit. We have a feeling the Pop & Suki Takeout Bag ($275) will be no exception. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, VS Angel Sara Sampaio, Yasmin Sewell, and of course the brand’s co-founder, Suki Waterhouse, have all been spotted with the new bag lately, meaning it has all the makings of the next It accessory. (The under-$300 price point certainly doesn’t hurt.)

Meanwhile, Priyanka Chopra and Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert are partial to a different—but equally cute—style from the same brand: the Lolita ($375). Chopra styled hers with on-trend pastel pants while Engelbert was the epitome of street style chic in an oversize shirtdress. Scroll down to see how everyone styles Pop & Suki’s new bags and shop them for yourself.
