9 Nail Art Designs Inspired by Fall

Aside from Pumpkin Spice Lattes, one of our favorite things about the end of summer is our obsession with the warm hues and cozy textures that come with the arrival of autumn. While we’re ‘fitting ourselves to the nines with pins, patches and colorful wool hats, we’ve also got our sights set on pumpkins, leaves and apples… on our nails!

As part of our partnership with Starbucks, we’re celebrating all things fall. Today that means serving up nine pieces of nail art, inspired by the patterns, flavors and colors of fall. And if you’re inclined to share your own fall nail art looks, feel free to snap a shot with your hand holding a sweet cup of PSL ;)

Geometric Halloween Nails

This angular design adds a modern edge to your typical black, orange and yellow Halloween scene. We love that the same method could easily be changed depending on what color palette you’re into this fall. (via Serum No. 5)

Back to School Apple Nails

Straight up apples! This sweet design would be perfect for a day of apple picking, for a school function (especially if you’re the teacher) or just for fun. (via Paulina’s Passions)

Bejeweled Jewel Tone Nails

Thinking about adding a sculptural element to your nails? We love this bejeweled manicure, complete with teeny tiny gold jewels to add more dimension to the look. The deep autumnal color palette makes the specks of gold really pop. (via Love Maegan)

Pumpkins Lost in Space

Turns out, there are a LOT of pumpkin nail designs on the Internet, and not all of them are awesome. This take on pumpkins lost in space is our absolute favorite, and evokes shortened days and pumpkin spice vibes perfectly. If a Pumpkin Spice Latte had nails it could paint, we think they would probably look like this ;) (via Coco’s Nails)

Plaid Nail Art

Clueless (and Iggy Azalea’s recent ode to Clueless in her video for “Fancy”), these nails are electric.

Color Dipped Tips

The best thing about fall is that there’s still a little bit of green peeking out behind the crunchy leaves. We love this neon take on a French manicure for adding just a peek of color to your typical fall look. (via Kayture)

Illustrated Leaves

It’s definitely worth clicking through to watch this video tutorial — it’s WAY easier to make a leaf design on your nails than it looks! (via Polish and Pearls)

Candy Corn Nails:

Nugget Market)

9. Crisp and Clean White Nails: The straight up white nail look is one that is often overlooked beyond the summer months, but we LOVE the contrast of white against rich hues like reds and purples. Plus, it looks pretty darn on point with that PSL cup, don’t you think? ;)

Adam Brody and Leighton Meester (who, you know, played The OC's Seth Cohen and Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf) made our teen drama dreams come true when they tied the knot in 2014. And after The Oranges and Adam's appearance on Single Parents, we're FINALLY seeing them onscreen together again in 2025. Leighton's new series Good Cop/Bad Cop premieres on the CW this winter and I can already tell it's going to be one of my favorite new TV shows of 2025.

Here's everything you need to know about Leighton Meester's Good Cop/Bad Cop — and Adam Brody's appearance!

What is Good Cop/Bad Cop about?

In the CW's newest series, Leighton Meester stars as detective Lou, working for her dad in their community's local police force. She's thrilled to finally get a partner — until she realizes it's her little brother Henry (Luke Cook). It looks like it's all in the family with this comedy drama.

When does Good Cop/Bad Cop come out?

The Good Cop/Bad Cop release date is coming up! The new series premieres at 9 PM EST on the CW starting February 19, 2025, and each episode will be one hour long.

Who else in the Good Cop/Bad Cop cast?

Good Cop/Bad Cop stars Leighton Meester, Luke Cook, and Clancy Brown. And in addition to a variety of additional actors, we'll be seeing Adam Brody make an appearance too! In the new trailer, we get a brief glimpse of his character during one of Lou and Henry's investigations — and it looks like he's playing a glasses-wearing cowboy. Yeehaw!

Are you excited to see Leighton Meester and Adam Brody onscreen again? I think they're both hilarious and can't wait to see their banter. Keep your eyes peeled for the latest Good Cop/Bad Cop news and read up on the other February TV shows premiering in 2025.

Well, well, well – the rumors about the January 2025 Starbucks menu are true! Per Starbucks, they’ll be launching an all-new lineup on January 3, 2025. Their latest and greatest includes a never-before-seen espresso drink, a fresh approach to matcha, and the return of pistachio!

Though we’re quite sad to see Starbucks’ holiday menu staples go (bye, Peppermint Mocha), this collection of new bevs and snacks has our hearts racing.

See everything coming to the January 2025 Starbucks menu on January 3!

Drinks On The 2025 Starbucks Winter Menu

Starbucks

NEW! Cortado

Coming to Starbucks' current espresso lineup is the cortado, a "small but mighty" espresso-based drink that's served hot in an 8-ounce cup. It's made with 3 ristretto shots of Starbucks' Blonde espresso for a "smoother, sweeter, and richer" flavor profile. The boldness of the espresso is then deliciously toned down a bit with steamed whole milk.

“Espresso is the heart and soul of Starbucks,” says Ricky Gonzalez, a member of the Starbucks beverage product team. “Our goal was to create a new way for customers to experience espresso from us.”

Starbucks

NEW! Brown Sugar Oatmilk Cortado

Joining the winter menu alongside Starbucks' new traditional cortado is the Brown Sugar Oatmilk Cortado, which incorporates brown sugar syrup, cinnamon and steamed oat milk for a sweeter feel.

Starbucks

NEW! Customizable Matcha

That's right – Starbucks is upgrading their matcha powder! Instead of coming pre-sweetened, you can now customize the exact level of sweetness in your matcha drink. Starting January 3, Starbucks' matcha powder will come sweetened with classic syrup by default. Starbucks says the change is a response to a "popular customer request" for adjustable sweetness.

Starbucks

Pistachio Latte

Pistachio szn at Starbucks is honestly our favorite time of year – the nuttiness tastes too good with coffee! Returning to the winter menu on January 3 is the Pistachio Latte, which combines espresso and steamed (or cold) milk with pistachio syrup and a delish brown butter topping. You can also order pistachio in Frappuccino form!

Starbucks

Pistachio Cream Cold Brew

The Pistachio Cream Cold Brew is just as tasty as the regular latte – it features strong cold brew sweetened with vanilla syrup and is topped with pistachio cream cold foam and salted brown buttery sprinkles.

Food On The 2025 Starbucks Winter Menu

Starbucks

NEW! Spicy Falafel Pocket

This all-new, savory, 100% vegan snack includes an array of veggies like roasted red bell peppers and pickled onions alongside smashed falafel and creamy hummus for a very-Mediterranean feel. It's finished off with a spicy herb sauce and wrapped in a toasted lavash flatbread. Yum.

Starbucks

NEW! Valentine Cake Pop

V-Day is on the way! This limited-time cake pop celebrates the season of love with a tasty bite of vanilla cake mixed with buttercream, dipped in red chocolate icing, and decorated with a cutie little heart design.

Starbucks

Vanilla Bean Custard Danish

Returning to the menu this time around is the Vanilla Bean Custard Danish, which is made with sugared Danish dough, baked until golden, and filled with a "rich and velvety" vanilla bean custard.

But, the truth is that it's the reason I rediscovered reading for fun. As informational as books can be, there's also joy, anguish, fear — and even spicy romance — to lose ourselves in. I'm become a firm believer in holding on to things that bring us joy so if your book stash is overflowing, you're going to love Reese's January pick for 2025.

The Three Lives of Cate Kay by Kate Fagan (New Release)

Cate Kay's a literary genius who's cracked the code of keeping readers engaged in her written work. She's also secured a film franchise that's made fans go wild. But, no one's ever seen Cate Kay or talked to her. She's an enigma on purpose.
You see, 'Cate Kay' and her bestie Amanda made plans to live lavish lives in California. They were so sure everything would work out until something awful happens that forces 'Cate Kay' to leave her real identity behind.

It's not until something forces her to make peace with where she comes from that 'Cate Kay' decides it's time to stop running from who she is.

Reese's Book Club

Here's What Reese Witherspoon Had To Say About The Three Lives of Cate Kay

Reese Witherspoon never shies away from telling her adoring fans why she chose a book and this month is no different. On her book club's official Instagram page, she wrote: "Have you ever felt like you were living more than one life? That’s exactly what Cate Kay is grappling with in our January pick, The Three Lives of Cate Kay by @KateFagan3. She’s a literary sensation, the face behind a blockbuster film trilogy, but her life isn’t what it seems. This story swept me away with its big dreams, love, and unexpected twists."

After spending decades in the entertainment industry, some celebs like Pamela Anderson have opted for a makeup-free look. No one can forget when she stunned photographers right before Paris Fashion Week's Vivienne Westwood show last year by rocking a bare face. She told Vogue France, she wasn't thinking about not "wearing any makeup." However, she didn't want to "compete with the clothes" she was wearing. She felt "freedom" from not trying to "be the prettiest girl in the room" which speaks volumes to us!

Now, Pamela continues to embrace the no-makeup life — and not only does she look gorgeous, but she seems SO happy! The star shared recently how this lifestyle change impacts her day-to-day, and it's honestly incredibly relatable. Here's what she had to say!

Here's what Pamela Anderson just said about adopting a no-makeup life!

www.instagram.com

1. It saves her a lot of time.

Pamela Anderson stopped by the Live with Kelly and Markshow to talk about filming The Last Showgirl, her childhood, and how not wearing makeup has been beneficial for her. While her makeup-free clip from the episode isn't available on YouTube, PEOPLE reports hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos asking her how her decision has changed her life.

Ripa started with, "You don't travel with a glam squad. How liberating is that for you," while Consuelos followed with, "And how much time have you gotten back?"

The former Baywatch star said she's "saved a lot of time" and admitted that her sons "used to say that I spent half my life in a makeup chair."

2. She feels more focused in general.

Pamela Anderson also admitted things feel easier for her in general. "I feel like I could focus better when I did the film, too." And her life outside of that? She said she's "gotten out of wearing makeup and it's been fun."

It's interesting because Kelly Ripa shared she's been inspired by Pamela Anderson's makeup-free choice. She remembers not wearing makeup for a short while and said to herself, "'Pamela Anderson is a genius." Kelly even thought for a moment, "This is the way to live." We're so here for it!

3. She lives for a glam moment, but appreciates simplicity now.

Pamela's all for being makeup-free now, but she's not bashing glam moments. She actually "loved it" because "it's fun when you're new in the business and you get all this attention." She's just at a point where she's "done that" and wants to "simplify and keep it low key."

She really does "love being elegant, sophisticated" but has found what "works best" for her.
