These 15 Essentials Are What Your Summer To Fall Wardrobe Needs While It's Still Hot AF Outside
September 22 marked the official beginning of fall. This equinox surpasses the obsession of pumpkin spice lattes and chunky sweaters. The beauty of fall varies from the foliage to the fashion. And of course, my brain is set on the influx of fall fashion trends I can't wait to rock. Now, don't get me wrong, we will miss summer but fall has so much in store for us. Keeping this in mind, we recognize that this means we have to stock our closets with this upcoming season's staples.
We decided to take some prompts from one of our favorite fashion bloggers, Morgan Bethel of Hang It Up LA. Because of Morgan's love of fashion, she birthed her blog to provide an outlet to express and share her sense of style and creativity. Bethel says, "Naturally, I am bold and edgy…daring and risky with my fashion style, sometimes just over the top! I never stick to just one category of style. I love it all. Street, chic, classy, boho, couture, etc. I own my sense of style with whatever look I am going for and that's what makes me, me."
Check out some of our favorite looks of the bold and edgy fashion lover donning some fall pieces you most definitely need in your life.

Rihanna Talks Shedding Expectations And Finding Balance As A Mother
Since becoming a mother in 2022, Rihanna has defined parenthood by her terms and hopes to pass that sense of autonomy on to her children.
For Vogue China’s April cover story, Rihanna shared her perspective on raising her two sons with A$AP Rocky, and how she hopes to preserve her children’s uniqueness, devoid of societal expectations.
"The most beautiful thing...is that [children] come into the world with their own individuality and sincerity, without any logic or conformity,” she told the publication. “Which usually makes you feel that you must fit into a certain group."
The “Work” artist, known for her trendsetting style and captivating persona, expressed her desire to support children in fully embracing their individuality and encouraging them to be whoever they want to be. "It's really beautiful to see and I want to continue to help them navigate that and make sure that they know they can be whoever they want to be,” she says.
She continues, “They should embrace it completely, because it's beautiful, and it's unique. I love them just that way."
From shattering music charts to shaking up the beauty industry, Rihanna has forged a path that has since created the “dream” life we see today. One that she says has made her parents proud of.
“I’m living my dream,” she continued. “My parents were very proud of that because they just wanted me to be happy and successful. So, I think the key thing is to find some kind of balance. Yes, balance is important. Do this and you get the best of both worlds. You can write your own life the way you want, and it will be beautiful. Sometimes, you just need to let go of everyone’s expectations and start living your own story.”
Rihanna, who shares sons, RZA, 23 months, and Riot, 8 months, with rapper A$AP Rocky, recently shared her vision for expanding her family in the future in Interview Magazine.
When stylist Mel Ottenberg asked about the number of additional children she hoped to have, Rihanna replied, "As many as God wants me to have.”
"I don't know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl,” she adds. “But of course, if it's another boy, it's another boy."
