LA’s Most Stylish Women Are Obsessing Over These Items This Fall/Winter Season
Living in the city of LA for over nine years, I’d like to believe I'm an honorary native. While holding true to my NorCal roots, there is a part of me that will forever consider LA home. One reason I love this town so much is because of the effortless style and creativity most of its residents seem to have. For people living in this fashion capital, individual style is all about what’s hot and making it your own.
Every city has a culture that offers a unique perspective when it comes to clothing and how style adapts to the surrounding environment. Inspired by everyday people when on the streets, I had to get the latest on fashion girls' radars. From trench coats to platform sneakers and everything in between, these are the must-have items women in LA are most excited to wear this season.
Long Line Trench Coat

Longline trench coats are a forever classic everyone should own. Designed in a variety of colors and prints, there are endless styles to choose from. For a classic approach, investing in a neutral-toned trench allows for a range of versatility and more options to be dressed up or down. I’m loving this ultra cool-girl look paired with nylon tights, chunky boots, and a classic button-down shirt.

“Two things I’ve recently bought that I’m obsessed with are my Bottega 'Outline' shades and a pair of Grey Mer boots that I found on Farfetch. I bought both as a birthday present to myself, and I wore them on my birthday trip to Paris. I’ve been wearing them both nonstop and they have a sentimental value every time!” - Kandace Banks
Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Move Hi Sneakers
“I’ve had my eye on these shoes for a hot minute. I normally take a bit of time to jump on the latest trends just to get an idea of versatility in terms of what things can be paired/styled with, durability and cost. Since I’m already so tall I have larger-sized feet and they’re also flat, so getting an idea of how they fit (narrow vs. regular vs. wide) is critical for me.
"However, Converse typically runs a lot larger in size, so I wasn’t as hesitant to make this purchase as I’ve been with other shoe brands in the past. The pair I bought is super simple, yet have that extra oomph I look for in a casual yet chic shoe. I know I’ll be wearing these throughout the rest of the Fall/Winter season!”

Schutz Maryana Pointed Toe Boot
“I am loving the Southwestern influence! This Schutz boot is perfect to style for casual day looks and I love that it can be dressed up for the night as well!”
Straight Leg Pants + Leather Layering

Finding the perfect pair of denim can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack, however, once you find the right pair we slowly begin to live in them. One item Karrington can't get enough of this season is straight-legged pants. Spice up a classic look by opting for a frayed denim design for a cute indoor rendezvous. Pair with a silver heel and lightweight jacket for a casual-chic aesthetic.

Next on this LA native's list of what to wear, is leather on leather. If one layer isn't enough, add a second to achieve this bold look with attitude. Get into Karrington’s leather skirt topped with a matching lightweight jacket for an ultimate west coast look.

UnPrisonedhas returned for its highly anticipated second season, delving deeper into the complex dynamics of the Alexander family.
The series premiere comes a year after its debut season garnered rave reviews from fans and critics and earned record-breaking ratings for Hulu's Onyx Collective brand. UnPrisoned's success can be attributed to its raw, relatable themes and comedic appeal.
Inspired by creator Tracy McMillan's life, the show follows Paige (Kerry Washington), a therapist and single mother whose life takes an unexpected turn when her father, Edwin (Delroy Lindo) --who was released from prison-- moves in with her and her teenage son, Finn (Faly Rakotohavana).
Throughout UnPrisoned's first season, viewers witnessed how Edwin's incarceration deeply affected Paige's life and relationships. In the series, Paige unpacks her trauma through interactions with her inner child and her online followers. Meanwhile, Edwin is overcoming specific struggles with his own past that led to his life of crime, including a dysfunctional upbringing and his mother's arrest. As the Alexanders attempt to reconcile, new challenges arise.
This new season promises to further explore their unconventional family dynamic. Here are several compelling reasons why season two of UnPrisoned should be on everyone's watchlist.
The Alexander Family Life Is Still In Shambles
UnPrisoned's second season resumes where the series left off, with Paige grappling with the fallout from her troubled therapy practice and Edwin navigating life independently after moving out. Meanwhile, Finn faces his own challenges. The teenager is battling anxiety and seeking information about his father—a topic Paige avoids discussing.
The Alexander Family Are Attending Therapy To Resolve Their Underlying Issues
Amid the chaos in their lives, the Alexander family decides to mend their bond by confronting their past traumas. They seek professional help and attend therapy sessions with a “family radical healing coach,” played by John Stamos, a new cast member. This collective effort aims to unravel the complexities of their shared history and strengthen their relationships.
The process of unraveling each character's internal conflicts and their potential impact on future relationships may clash with Paige's textbook therapy approach. While Paige is used to being in the therapist's seat in both career and family, this forces her into the unfamiliar role of a patient during therapy sessions. This shift would compel her to look in the mirror and try a radically different approach.
The Alexander Family Learned A Big Lesson During A Therapy Session
In therapy, the Alexanders are tasked with addressing their individual traumas to salvage their remaining relationships. One of the family therapist’s eccentric suggestions was an exercise involving a family wrestling match. During this session, Paige faces tough questions about her refusal to share information about Finn's father.
While it's unclear whether this scene is reality or fantasy, the image of the family duking it out in the ring certainly makes for hilarious yet compelling television.
Paige Tries Dating Again Following Failed Relationships
Amid her life's chaos, Paige decides to step back into the dating field. However, her many attempts have left her with mixed results. The dating apps have turned out to be a fail, and an outing with her ex Mal (Marque Richardson), who is also her father's parole officer, doesn’t go quite as expected after he brings an unexpected guest – his new girlfriend.
The situation takes an awkward turn when Mal's new partner learns why the former couple split, partly due to Paige's self-sabotage.
UnPrisoned Is A Perfect Balance Of Comedy And Drama
As a dramedy, UnPrisoned takes a comedic approach to its heavy subjects. The show takes us on a ride with Paige's dating misadventures and navigating a friendship with her ex.
Other lighthearted moments include Edwin's attempts at CPR based on online videos and, of course, the antics of the Alexander family's unconventional new healing coach.
The second season of UnPrisoned is now available on Hulu.

Tubi has been gaining popularity due to its free sign-up and a vast selection of series and films. According to Deadline, the FAST (free ad-streaming television) service has seen a 14.7% growth from May and now has similar numbers to Disney+. So while many people have joked about Tubi having low-budget movies, the numbers don't lie.
In fact, I was one of those people who didn't get the appeal of Tubi, but the more I watched it, the more I enjoyed the content. They have some of our favorite TV series, such as Scandal and Star, as well as big films like the Fast and Furious franchise and cult classic Love & Basketball.
Tubi even has its own original movies and series that are just as entertaining. But while Tubi is on the come up, some of the low-budget movies and hood movies are still a must-watch. From Tubi originals to the hood movies, we've put together a list of shows and movies to add to your watchlist.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is an original Tubi movie that stars Hailey Kilgore (Juke from Power Book III: Raising Kanan), Damon Wayans, and Pam Grier. It's a love story gone awry after a robbery turns deadly, and a young couple faces many challenges to make it out alive.
The Dirty D
The Dirty D is one of the first things I watched on Tubi, as many people highly recommended it. It's a series set in a Detroit club, and it has all the drama you can think of. Murder, drug dealing, cheating, greed, and more.
Black Men Don't Cheat
In this film, a young woman grapples with the death of her husband while also discovering his secret life, which puts her in danger.
Mother May I
This movie fully captivates the overbearing mother. However, the ending will shock you as she goes a little too far.
The Stepdaughter
When a young girl moves in with her dad and his new wife, a series of unfortunate events occurs. This Tubi original will keep your attention with every turn.
These Men For Everybody
These Men For Everybody is a film that highlights the tangled web of friendships and relationships and how you can't trust anybody.
Best Friend
What happens when your best friend is obsessed with you? This movie, which stars Serayah and Marques Houston, answers this very question and takes us on a ride in the process.
What's Done After Dark
What's Done After Dark shows us that everything isn't always what it seems. The twist at the end is a real doozy.
