8 New Shows You Should Totally Watch This Fall

If you’re anything like us, then you already find it hard enough to make time to keep up with all of your favorite TV shows, but that doesn’t mean we’re not excited for the most wonderful time of the year — new TV time! Of course, you can watch great new original programming almost anytime and anywhere now, but September and October are traditionally when to expect the BIGGEST drop of new shows. This year is no exception, and here are all the shows we’re gonna have to schedule in this year — and that’s *besides* Gilmore Girls. Phew.

1. This Is Us (Tuesdays @ 10pm on NBC, started Sept. 20): You’re like, “Oh wow, definitely soooo shocked to hear this.” And you’re being sarcastic. And we know; we’ve been ranting about this one for a while now. But did you see the premiere? And that twist ending? Yeah. Hate to say we told you so! (Image via NBC)

2. Pitch (Thursdays @ 9pm on Fox, starting Sept. 22): Not unlike Friday Night Lights (and the new Netflix doc series Last Chance U that reminds us of it), Pitch is a show about sports that you don’t need to know or care about sports to like. More specifically, it’s a scripted show about the first female pitcher in Major League Baseball, and it’s by the same guy who brought us This Is Us. Sign us up. (Image via Fox)

3. No Tomorrow (Mondays @ 9pm on The CW, starting Oct. 10): Stuck in a dead-end job and the world might end? Do what you want, when you want. The CW has hit it out of the park with Jane the Virgin and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend the past couple of years, and it feels like they’re going for another one with No Tomorrow, so we’ll definitely be checking this one out.

4. Frequency (Wednesdays @ 9pm on The CW, starting Oct. 5): This one is about a cop who can communicate with her late father through an old radio set-up. Spooky. And also, HEARTSTRINGS. (Image via The CW)

5. Divorce (Sundays @ 10pm on HBO, starting Oct. 9): As if we wouldn’t watch Sarah Jessica Parker’s new HBO show. (Image via HBO)

6. Fleabag (Streaming on Amazon now):Adapted from lead actor Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s one-woman show, this is a strange and wonderful British feminist comedy whose only real downside is that it only has six episodes. (Image via Amazon)

7. The Good Place (Thursdays @ 8:30pm on NBC, starting Sept. 22): This one is from the same guy who brought us Parks and Recreation and stars Kristen Bell as a woman who accidentally gets sent to “heaven” and tries to be a better person so she can stay. So happy to have her staying on the small screen. (Image via NBC)

8. Insecure (Sundays @ 10:30pm on HBO, starting Oct. 9): We have such high hopes for this comedy, starring and partially based on Awkward Black Girl‘s amazing Issa Rae, about turning 30 and questioning your whole life. (Image via HBO)

The 5 “Most Flattering” Ways To Style Your Skinny Jeans In 2025

The great thing about fashion is that it has a circle of life. Silhouettes or accessories that go out of style tend to make a comeback eventually. This year, it's skinny jeans turn.

From "mom jeans" to "barrel jeans," denim on the baggier side has been big for the better part of the last decade. Now, skinny jeans are returning to the fashion scene, and it's time to update our outfit rotations.

Whether you want to put a modern twist on this classic denim cut or revisit some old staples, here's how to style your skinny jeans in 2025.

Scroll to find out the most flattering ways for how to style your skinny jeans in 2025!

Abercrombie

If you've been on TikTok lately, then you know that the go-to way to wear skinny jeans in the winter pretty much hasn't changed since circa 2015. We're talking about accessorizing with tall leather boots and an oversized coat.

This fit may not be anything new, but it's reliable and downright adorable. Go for a chunky heeled boot with a wide calf to juxtapose your tighter jeans, as well as a big trench, leather, or fur coat to add even more shape to your silhouette.

LOFT

Next, if you're a corporate girlie, the resurgence of skinny jeans offers up a ton of business casual outfit opportunities.

Stick to blue denim with a tucked-in blouse, tweed blazer, and leather loafers for an everyday outfit. Or, try out black ankle jeans with heels and a wool coat for a more polished look that can go straight from the office to after-work drinks.

Banana Republic Factory

Given the fitted and somewhat unassuming cut of skinny jeans, you'll be able to play around more with layering and statement tops, too.

For the past few years, baggy jeans have stolen the spotlight, often being paired with neutral and minimalist tops (think plain body suits or crop tops) to let the extra denim shine.

However, with skinny jeans, you shouldn't hesitate to go bigger and bolder up above. Experiment with ruffles, one-shoulder blouses, different proportions, and even peplums. This one-exiled shirt style is also making a return, whether you like it or not!

J.Crew

In 2025, don't be afraid to go for vibrant hues, either. Colors are in, especially as we get closer to spring, so dress in what makes you happy. Throw on a retro long-sleeve with medium-wash skinny jeans, a monochromatic outfit, or simply bright-colored accessories like sunglasses, jewelry, and footwear to make your look stand out.

Madewell

Last but not least, we can absolutely never go wrong with a good old-fashioned white button-down tucked into dark-wash skinny jeans. This outfit alone, coupled with some flats or sneakers, is a tried-and-true pairing that continues to deliver.

Or, you can spruce up this iconic look by tossing a blazer or trench on top, sporting heels, and accessorizing with a clutch or mini purse and sleek black sunglasses.

9 Mistakes To Avoid At Trader Joe's, According To Someone Who Visits Weekly

I’m an avid believer that Trader Joe’s is more than just a grocery store – it’s an entire experience. From their quirky branding to cult-favorite snacks, it’s easy to see why so many people (including myself) love it.

Because Trader Joe’s is not your ordinary grocer, there are a handful of unspoken and little-known rules for shopping there. These are the 9 most common mistakes that can cost you time, money, and delicious discoveries.

Make the most of your next Trader Joe’s trip by watching out for these 9 mistakes!

Meredith Holser

1. Not bringing reusable bags

Not toting along your reusable tote bags to Trader Joe’s is a huge no-no. Not only are you helping reduce excess waste by opting out of plastic or paper bags, you’ll be able to carry your haul home with style and ease.

TJ’s even encourages you to BYOB (bring your own bags) with plenty of fun tote bag designs.

2. Not looking at the new arrivals section

Most Trader Joe’s stores will feature their new arrivals on an end cap or two, so make sure you stop by the section so you can be the first of your friends to discover amazing TJ’s products! You don’t want to miss out, do you?!

3. Not asking Trader Joe's workers for help

I almost always have to ask Trader Joe’s workers for some extra help when I shop there, whether it’s because I can’t find a certain item or I want their expert recommendation on a substitute.

Oftentimes, Trader Joe’s employees know tons of shopping secrets, tips and tricks, and amazing product recommendations you might've missed otherwise. And they’re usually super kind people – so don’t be afraid to talk to them!

4. Shopping during peak hours

This is a mistake I’ll never make again: shopping at Trader Joe’s during peak hours. Typically, the stores around my part of town get really busy and packed on Saturday and Sunday mornings, infusing my day with a special kind of chaos and stress that’s simply not needed – so I tend to go at other “off” times.

If you frequent TJ’s like I do, you know how crazy it can get, especially from just looking at the parking lot. To avoid the frenzy and people-y vibes entirely, plan your next trip during a weekday – preferably in the morning or early afternoon!

5. Ignoring the Fearless Flyer

Trader Joe’s Fearless Flyer is your one-way ticket to discovering all the tasty new offerings they come up with on a monthly basis. Formatted like a cute lil’ newspaper, it’s often full of pairing ideas and tips and tricks for your fave TJ’s items – you’d be crazy to miss it! You can find the Fearless Flyer onlineand in print at your local Trader Joe’s.

6. Saying ‘no’ to free samples

Because who can deny a free sample?! If you time your next TJ’s run right, you might just catch a generous employee sharing the TJ’s love behind a sample counter. Plus, a lot of the samples they give out are from new drops, so you won’t ever miss out on the latest and greatest by stopping for samples!

7. Skipping the beauty section

If you care even just a little bit about skincare products (and saving money), you just have to take a look-see at Trader Joe’s beauty section. From Summer Fridays lip balm and Sol de Janeiro body butter dupes to luxe-feeling serums and moisturizers, TJ’s selection is typically cheaper than your average Ulta or Sephora, but a lot of the products deliver the same results with nearly the same ingredients and packaging.

8. Not putting your cart away

Spoiler alert – you’re responsible for your own cart at Trader Joe’s (like any other grocery store). Don’t just leave it behind at the checkout line or sitting lazily by your car once you’re done with it! Most TJ’s have cart returns in their parking lots and at the front door.

9. Rushing your shopping trip

This may be widely known, but Trader Joe’s is the kind of store where it pays to browse around – you never know what hidden gems you’ll find by carefully combing through their aisles!

Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds Have "No Regrets" About Controversial 'SNL50' Special Appearance: "Nothing To Hide"

Saturday Night Live just had a 50th anniversary celebration to remember, but despite some iconic callbacks and celebrity cameos, one moment everyone's talking about didn't really have to do with the sketches at all: Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's appearance.

During a Q&A with Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, Ryan Reynolds stood up to ask a question, with Blake Lively sitting right beside him. After the SNL icons asked him how he was, the Deadpool actor responded, "Great. Why, what have you heard?" And while the audience laughed at the inferred reference to the ongoing legal battle with Justin Baldoni, sources are saying others aren't so happy with the couple's appearance.

Here's what people are saying about Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's appearance on the SNL50 special.

Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively "have no regrets" about their SNL50 special appearance.

While the moment with Ryan Reynolds got some laughs, a Page Six insider reveals that, "People in Hollywood think Blake and Ryan attending the SNL 50th anniversary show was not a good look," and that it might have been a good idea for the couple to "have sat this one out.”

But even though the appearance got some mixed reviews, another source promises they "have no regrets about making an appearance at the show,” and that they “were two of the last people to leave Studio 8H."

"Blake was initially hesitant to attend the SNL 50th anniversary show but ultimately she’s glad she attended and had a really nice time,” the second source continues. “They’re glad they showed up because they have nothing to hide and no reason not to.”

The SNL50 special, and the brief look at Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively, came after Blake and Justin Baldoni filed lawsuits against one another — Blake against Justin for alleged sexual harassment and Justin against Blake, Ryan, and the New York Times for defamation.

"It’s very plausible that Justin’s legal team will use this public outing to defend him,” according to the Page Six source. “Justin is taking this lawsuit in all seriousness and isn’t making a public mockery out of it."

Recently, Justin Baldoni published a website with an Amended Complaint and It Ends With Us timeline, but according to First Amendment lawyer Kevin Goldberg, the website is "unnecessary."

"I think it's unusual and I'm not sure it's appropriate once you have already filed a defamation lawsuit," he tells Forbes. "Legally speaking, it's not going to be, itself, relevant as evidence. It could be introduced in evidence but there's no need for it."

"The reason we have very strict standards for anyone who is trying to win a defamation lawsuit — and in particular, a celebrity who is trying to win a defamation lawsuit is they can do things like this," Kevin continues. "Use a website and PR team to restore their reputation, they don't need to use the courts to restore their reputation. So why did he do both is my big question. It seems like his real goal is not to win the lawsuit but restore his good name, just, generally in the public view."
