5 Outfit Ideas For A Chic Transition From Summer To Fall
As the seasons change, there's only a short window of time to experiment with key items of both warm and cold weather trends. Occurring twice a year, once between summer and fall and again from winter to summer, this is the perfect time to mix and match your current staples along with incoming styles and accessories. During this time, bending seasonal rules and wearing the best of both worlds is the perfect opportunity to stretch one's personal style while having fun with what one can create in their outfit of the day.
A self-proclaimed budget-conscious consumer, I like to utilize items within my wardrobe to the best of my ability. Each purchase is a strategic choice with the more wear I can get out of my purchases, the better. While I'm eager for fall looks, I haven't completely let go of summer fashion and plan to keep my favorite pieces in rotation until the bitter cold. Get into these classic everyday staples that are must-haves when completing the perfect transitional looks this fall.
1.Button-Down
An oversized button-down top is fitting during every season of the year. Perfect to layer with most casual looks, pair with a knit bralette and trouser for the super sleek combination we all need. Slip into a platform thong sandal for an effortless chic look to wear from morning to night.
2.Blazers
One of my favorite fall items, blazers are a must have in every wardrobe. Get into a variety of blazer looks this fall from mid to cropped lengths in a range of colors. Pair with an oversized button down and sneakers for a cute and casual transition.
3.Wrap-Around Heels
A wrap-around high heels is the perfect addition to your fall shoe selection. Pair with a dress and leather blazer, for a sexy chic night out. Keep it cute with an open toe while you still can.
4.Two-Piece Short Set
This past summer was all about bold prints and bright colors which can easily be added to your fall outfit lineup. During this time, the weather may not permit long pants, instead swap for a cooler approach with a pair of matching shorts. Spice up your business chic look with a printed mesh top for the perfect complement to this lightweight set.
5.Chunky Boots
One of my favorite shoe styles for fall/winter is a bold chunky boot. Getting a head start on your cold weather items, grab a girly summer dress to achieve the perfect cool girl combination. Step out of your comfort zone with this unconventional fall look.

How This New Bond Repair Line Transformed One Mother's Postpartum Shedding Into The Ultimate Curl Comeback
This article is in partnership with SheaMoisture
For Crystal Obasanya, her wash day woes came shortly after her son did. The beauty and lifestyle content creator had been natural for years, but during postpartum, she quickly learned about one reality many mothers can relate to experiencing: postpartum hair loss. “Sis had thinning hair. Sis had split ends,” she shared about her hair changes in a Reel via xoNecole.
Over a year into her postpartum journey, Crystal explained she also had dry, brittle hair, noting that keeping it hydrated before pregnancy had already been “a task.” The 4C natural recalled going from thick hair during pregnancy to a thin hairline due to postpartum shedding as “devastating.” When it came to strengthening and revitalizing her hair, the new SheaMoisture Bond Repair Collection was just the thing she needed to elevate her damaged coils to revive and thrive status and get them poppin' again.
SheaMoisture is providing us with the cheat code for transforming dry and damaged strands into thriving and deeply nourished crowns. By unveiling their 4-step hair system, the SheaMoisture Bond Repair Collection is equipping you with the tools to reverse signs of hair damage caused by protective styling, heat, and color and is uniquely formulated for Type 3 and 4 hair textures.
The haircare system revives damaged natural hair by repairing and rebuilding broken hair bonds through a game-changing combination of HydroPlex Technology and AminoBlend Complex, a unique blend of fortifying amino acids formulated specifically for curly and coily hair. Scientifically proven to reduce breakage by 84% and make your hair six times stronger (vs. non-conditioning shampoo), the collection infuses your hair with the nourishment it craves and the strength it deserves.
All five products of the SheaMoisture Bond Collection are infused with natural strengthening ingredients like Amla Oil and fair-trade shea butter. The collection consists of the 4-step breakage-fighting Bond Repair system, as well as the Bonding Oil.
“When trying it out, I quickly noticed that my hair felt revived and renewed, and my curls were so hydrated,” Crystal said while using the Amla-infused Bond Repair Leave-In Conditioner. “I also felt my hair strands were stronger.” So much so that the influencer felt brave enough to get her hair braided shortly thereafter. “I can definitely say that I will be keeping it in my hair wash routine,” she added in the caption of her Reel about her positive experience using the products.
SheaMoisture Bond Repair Collection is making bond-building a key player in your wash day routines and the purveyor of life for thirsty manes. Because who doesn't want stronger, shinier, happier hair?

Kyla Pratt Says 'We Good' When Asked If Marriage To Longtime Partner Will Happen Soon
Actress Kyla Pratt and her fiancé, tattoo artist Danny Kirkpatrick, are rewriting the rules of romance.
The couple has been together for nearly two decades and has been engaged since 2011. Over the years, Pratt and Kirkpatrick's relationship has made headlines because they refuse to bow to societal pressure to get married despite raising a family and achieving personal and professional successes.
The pair's approach challenges traditional relationship timelines, proving that commitment doesn't always require a wedding ring. During their recent appearance on the 2024 BET Awardsred carpet, Pratt and Kirkpatrick opened up to ENews! about their successful relationship.

In the discussion, The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder star shared the secret to their long-lasting union: consistently putting in the effort and sticking by each other, even when times get rough.
“I just have to say that remembering that it’s a journey. I think that people go into situations thinking that everything is going to be hunky dory, and happy and butterflies every day. But it’s a journey. Our journey hasn’t been perfect, but it’s worth it,” she said.
When asked about their wedding plans, Pratt recalled an incident in which they were compelled to address their engagement publicly after it circulated online. The mother of two revealed that since this experience, the couple has made it their mission to keep their personal lives private and follow their own timeline rather than conform to others' expectations.
“We showed up at the BET Awards, and people were like, ‘Congratulations on your engagement.’ We were like, ‘What are y’all talking about?’ she said. “Then we saw it online, and we just start saying thank you… You’re looking at two gangstas who living their life and loving each other, that's it. We’re good, don't worry about what we’re doing. We good over here. We’re super good.“
This revelation echoes Pratt's previous statements about marriage in past interviews. The One on One star disclosed that she and Kirkpatrick haven't walked down the aisle yet due to the pressures associated with marriage. The 37-year-old explained that she would rather solidify her relationship with her partner than rush into marriage and risk divorce.
Pratt emphasized that when she and Kirkpatrick do get married, it will be for the long haul. With that said, Pratt and Kirkpatrick continue to demonstrate how following their own rules of love can be beneficial.
