We realize it's not even March yet, but we are so ready for warmer spring weather. Along with the gentle change in the season comes a fresh set of fashion trends, and we're ready to hop on board. We got a peek at a ton of new trending styles at NYFW, and we're starting to see more trends emerge as spring approaches.
Though it's easy to shop with a trend-focused mind, collections like the & Other Stories Spring 2023 drop offer tons of timeless styles that can last you beyond one season. If you tend to stick to seasonal trends, consider how you can style the pieces you love all year long. Wear an oversized blazer with your go-to mock-neck top in the fall, then layer it over a flowy maxi dress for the spring and summer. This sustainable model for shopping and wearing can really stretch your wardrobe, and it allows you to be creative with your 'fits each time you get dressed!
The & Other Stories spring collection embraces pieces that can be worn for everyday looks, and statement picks to wear for special occasions. You'll see a lot of structured tailoring, long line coats, rosette details, and dainty accessories in soft pastels. We're excited to see some of our fave spring trends for this year and to start brainstorming how we're going to style them.
Emerging Spring 2023 Fashion Trends
These trends will be popping up everywhere this year. We're especially excited to sport winter florals, slime green pieces, and oversized blazers as spring approaches!
- Sequins
- Winter florals
- Sheer pieces
- Coquette styles
- Slime green
- Leather separates
- Tailored styles
- Maxi skirts
- Oversized blazers
- Denim
Our Favorite Pieces From The & Other Stories Spring 2023 Collection
Oversized Blazers
Oversized Padded Shoulder Blazer ($219)
A padded shoulder gives this oversized blazer lots of bold structure. Pair with workwear like wide-leg slacks for a chic office look, or wear over a mini slip dress on a girl's night out!
Oversized Parka Jacket ($149)
This jacket is structured, giving it a blazer feel with a cute outerwear twist. Layer it over bright colors for a stylish spring look.
Winter Florals
Buttoned V-Cut Midi Dress ($129)
A fitted dress enhances a super effortless feminine look. We love this midi spring dress because it's made of thin viscose fabric, making it a lighter wear, and easy to breathe in. Time to relish in the sweet spring breeze!
Printed Silk Blouse ($139)
This blouse embraces the same intricate floral pattern and colors in light cotton. Tuck in the curved hem with a fitted denim jean, and you've got yourself a new easy spring uniform.
Denim
Flared High Waist Jeans ($119)
Denim will never die, and we love that we're always seeing new, unique takes on the classic jean. This pair boasts two statement front pockets and a higher waistline to accentuate your figure, and give you a fun shape to pair your springtime tanks and sweaters with.
Treasure Cut Jeans ($99)
The Treasure Cut jean design features super wide legs and a high waist. These are truly a year-round closet staple because you can wear them with just about anything. For a casual look, throw on some Adidas sneakers and tuck in your fave band tee. To dress this jean up, layer on a light sweater and blazer with some ballerina flats!
Coquette
Embroidered Scalloped Edge Shirt ($119)
Coquette is a newer style term that embodies a feminine, flirty persona. You'll see a lot of frills, ribbons, florals, and lace, all in lighter pinks or whites. This organic cotton shirt flaunts frills on the cuffs and florals around the collar. We could see this piece being a cute go-to throughout the whole year.
Tie-Front Ribbed Cardigan ($99)
The tie-front cardigan is definitely an "add to bag" piece. The ribbons are the perfect understated take on the coquette trend, and make us feel all the girly feels.
Mulberry Silk Layered Frilled Blouse ($199)
This gorgeous blouse is a more courageous take on the coquette trend, with large shoulder frills and billowy puff sleeves. It's the perfect wear for springtime since it's loose-fitting — the long sleeves let you adapt to the chilly days, and but the carefree silhouette will keep you comfortable on warm days too.
Slime Green
Mock Neck Sweater ($59)
Slime green is a color we can totally get behind. It's electric and eye-catching, adding a ton of visual interest and pure fun to any outfit! You can totally crush this hue when paired with leather separates, like a black leather pant or oversized jacket.
Leather Separates
Curved Leather Shoulder Bag ($199)
If you are hesitant to dive fully in to the leather trend, dipping your toes in is made easy by accessorizing with leather pieces. This shoulder bag is sleek, so it's easy to pair with just about anything, plus it's super roomy so you can take all your daily necessities with you.
Heeled Leather Penny Loafers ($129)
Loafers are the hero of preppy style, and you can wear them with any springtime look. This pair is super comfortable, so catch us sporting these everywhere this season.
Strappy Kitten Heel Leather Sandals ($129)
A strappy sandal is the ultimate match for a floral dress when spring is in full swing. These also come in a vibrant teal blue color, so if you're feeling bold, go for that colorful look!
More of Our Fave Spring Trend Items
Wide Trousers ($119)
We can never get enough of a wide leg pant. These trousers are fit for a more formal spring look, and deliver all of the comfort.
Chunky Oval Hoop Earrings ($25)
Where would we be without our hoops? These chunky earrings wear well with any trendy spring outfit.
Cropped Knit Sweater ($49)
Cotton and wool blend together to form this warm sweater that you can throw on for cooler spring evenings. It comes in eight different colors, so you can pick your mood.

The 2025 Oscars have come and gone. In addition to some incredible noms, like A Real Pain for Original Screenplay, Wicked for Best Picture, and Anora's Mikey Madison for Best Actress, there were some serious snubs. Because what do you mean Challengers didn't get nominated for ANYTHING?! Considering it won Best Score at the Golden Globes, I'd have thought it had that nomination secured, but the Academy had other plans.
Here's the full list of 2025 Oscar winners.
The Craziest 2025 Oscar nomination snubs.
Amazon MGM Studios
I really can't believe Zendaya didn't get nominated for her performance in Challengers. Her viral "crazy eyes" scene generated enough conversation to give her a nom in my opinion. I remember sitting in the theater and thinking, Wow, I've never seen her make that face before, can we replay that? And, of course, I'm mourning the fact the movie didn't get nominated for Best Score. "Match Point" playing during the ending of the movie will always be an Oscar-winning moment to me!
But in addition to Z, Selena Gomez also didn't get nominated for her role as Jessi Del Monte in Emilia Pérez, despite the fact the movie got a total of 13 nominations.
My group chat immediately blew up when we realized Sing Sing wasn't nominated for Best Picture.

Did your favorite movie of 2024 get the Oscar nominations you think it deserved, or was it totally snubbed? Let us know on Instagram! And you can still make 13 Award-Winning Cocktails after Oscar Sunday ;).
This post has been updated.
Blink, and you may have missed it — New York Fashion Week has already come to a close, after jam-packed days taking over the streets of New York (and our Instagram and TikTok). While the fashion set has already decamped to other festivities, like Sunday night's VMAs and Monday night's Met Gala affair, we're left salivating over all the NYFW Spring 2022 trends and inspiration for dressing next season. After a year and half hiatus, most of the major New York based brands showed up with IRL events and presentations that showed off a whole lot of optimism for next year. The colors were bright, the tailoring was relaxed, and the designs were all-around playful. Fashion seems to be saying the future will be bright — but for those of us who can't stand to wait any longer, here's how to start shopping for next season's biggest trends, now.
Electric Knits
As Seen At: Victor Glemaud, Altuzarra, PH5
We've all come to love our knitwear over the past year, but it's time to liven things up for spring with sweaters in bright colors and cardigans in electric hues.
H&M Rib-Knit Cardigan ($20)
Despite the bold color, this simple ribbed cardigan will be so versatile for this season and next.
Alice + Olivia Mora Twist Cropped Long Sleeve Pullover ($330)
Spring's neon-colored knitwear trend meets fall's continued obsession with boleros and shrug-like sweaters.
Who What Wear Shrunken Cardigan ($35)
Why wait until spring to throw this cheery cardigan on? Style with an all-black or neutral outfit for a fun pop.
Cute Quilting
As Seen At: Alice + Olivia, Sandy Liang, Moschino
No one said we were ready to give up cozy (or cottagecore) trends just yet. Be prepared for quilted jackets in soft colors and sweet florals to take over your outerwear in no time.
ASOS DESIGN Curve Quilted Cropped Jacket ($54)
This sage green quilted coat will transition seamlessly between fall dressing and spring ensembles.
Clare V. Timothé Black & Lilac Quilted Floral Vest ($295)
Layer over sweaters and under coats now, then shed the layers in the spring to let this pretty vest shine.
Anthropologie Quilted Patchwork Jacket ($160)
Whether your style is more bohemian or a little preppy, this coat is a sweet addition to any wardrobe.
Next Checks
As Seen At: Prabal Gurung, Brandon Maxwell, Christian Cowan
We can't get enough of the check trend — which is why we're already loving spring's version, which mixes in preppy ginghams and psychedelic houndstooth patterns, too.
Faithfull The Brand Falabelle Midi Dress ($229)
Just add combat boots and a leather jacket, and you can wear this dress all the way until spring, and then some.
Free People Aldrin Cardi ($198)
Truthfully, we may never take this dreamy cardigan off until next summer.
UO Olympia Scarf Pant ($69)
Let these fun pants pop underneath your outerwear this season until they stand out on their own come the next.
Western Touches
As Seen At: Proenza Schouler, Peter Do, Bronx and Banco
The runways are riding the western trend into next season with modern interpretations of traditional motifs, like fringe, chaps, and of course, cowgirl hats.
Wyeth Cash Cowboy Hat ($88)
No fall wardrobe is complete without some cute headwear, and no spring wardrobe will be complete with a cool cowgirl hat.
Ronny Kobo Marley Pant ($338)
Ronny Kobo served up stunning looks at The Revolve Gallery that showed how to style fall 'fits with winks of western touches, like snakeskin (faux) leather.
Line & Dot Jasper Fringe Cable Knit Sweater ($112)
Pair a fringed sweater with tried-and-true blue denim jeans for the right amount of western, this season and next.
Crochet Away
As Seen At: Anna Sui, Jonathon Simkhai, Staud
You don't need to plan a tropical vacation to rock crochet pieces anymore — wear the retro trend with your favorite fall denim until you can swap your jeans out for spring swimwear.
Anthropologie Cozy Crochet Cardigan ($300)
This splurge-worthy statement coat will add a whole lot of charm to your wardrobe for years of wear to come.
Glassons Crochet Tie Longsleeve Top ($50)
Crochet that's cute enough to be worn on a night out (with a matching skirt, no less), but dainty enough for daytime wear with denim, too.
For Love & Lemons Opens Blanca Crochet Sweater ($119)
If crafty crochet isn't for you, take notes from Jonathan Simkhai and start looking for simple, feminine crochet knits, like this sweet top.
Metallic Madness
As Seen At: Tom Ford, Rodarte, Christian Siriano
Tom Ford knows how to end Fashion Week with a bang — this year, it was with a sequined, satin-filled, majorly-metallic moment that (literally) mirrored other collections with celebratory sentiment. If the best is yet to come next spring, the least we can do is start dressing the part!
River Island Sequin Halter Top ($50)
The runways have confirmed: You no longer need an occasion to justify wearing a sequined halter top out.
Commando Sequined Leggings ($200)
These are the kind of leggings that make you want to dance as soon as you put them on — which is the point of this trend to begin with.
City Chic Class Satin Joggers ($79)
Get ahead of the metallics trend so you can wear your new pieces through the holidays, too. Hopefully, as fashion has predicted, there will be plenty to celebrate by then!

Gilmore Girls fans know the show like the back of their hand, but considering the show lasted 7 seasons, it makes sense that there's tons of trivia. Like the fact season 7 wasn't supposed to be the finale, or creator Amy Sherman-Palladino placed the series in a small town because she didn't know any of her neighbors growing upand wanted different for Rory.
But there's one foundational detail about Gilmore Girls you might not have known, and it could change the way you watch the show forever: apparently actress Alexis Bledel didn't like coffee! Yep, that's right. Here's how they supposedly got away with Rory drinking a cup o' Joe in every single episode.
Here's what Alexis Bledel reportedly had in her mug when Rory Gilmore drank coffee — and a surprising comment Alexis made about the drink.
Rory Gilmore loves coffee...but Alexis Bledel allegedly didn't.
Warner Bros. TV
One of the most recognizable details in Gilmore Girls is Lorelai and Rory's love for coffee. They drink it like water, and a clip from the show went viral for Rory sobbing about having to give it up. Well, Alexis Bledel probably wasn't that heartbroken because according to HuffPost, the actress didn't actually like coffee while filming the show (although according to Lauren Graham, “There is always coffee in my cup.”)
Considering one of the most viral and recognizable clips from the whole show is Rory sobbing about having to give up coffee — "And I love coffee!" — that is a shocking detail!
Netflix
However, Alexis Bledel might have actually set the record straight on the longstanding claim she always had soda in her mug instead (which seems to originally come from YourTango in 2013). Ahead of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life in 2016, the actress told Marie Claire that she loves any "winter beverage."
"Give me a hot drink and I’m happy," she says. "Hot cider, hot chocolate, coffee… I like all winter beverages!" You and me both sister.
There's a good chance Alexis' tastes changed from filming in 2000 and filming in 2016. There's also a good chance she did actually like coffee the whole time. But don't worry — we reached out to her reps for comment.

The 13 Starbucks Drinks Disappearing From The Menu This Week – And What To Order Instead
Mar 03, 2025
ICYMI, Starbucks is cutting 13 staple drinks from their menu. Even if your go-to order is no longer, there’s no need to fret – the chain still has plenty of similar options to choose from! As a former barista, I can guarantee you’ll find an alternative Starbucks order you love – one you just might love more than your previous drink!
Scroll on to see the 13 Starbucks drinks disappearing from menus starting March 4, plus what to order instead to satisfy your cravings.
Starbucks
Iced Matcha Lemonade
Alternative order: Green Tea Lemonade
Though Starbucks’ Green Tea Lemonade doesn’t have any matcha in it, you’ll still get a kick from the caffeinated green tea included in the sip. Plus, it’s still crafted with lemonade, so the citrus notes you like in the OG won’t be missed.
Starbucks
Espresso Frappuccino
Alternative order: Coffee Frappuccino
The Starbucks Espresso Frappuccino will be taken off menus on March 4, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get your frozen espresso fix. Their Coffee Frappuccino is a great alternative order because it still boasts sweet coffee and can be easily customized with an additional shot of espresso.
Starbucks
Caffè Vanilla Frappuccino
Alternative order: Coffee Frappuccino
The Coffee Frappuccino is another reliable alternative for Starbucks’ Caffè Vanilla Frappuccino since you still get a taste of coffee. If vanilla is what you're craving, you can easily request a few pumps of vanilla syrup as a customization.
Starbucks
Java Chip Frappuccino
Alternative order: Mocha Frappuccino
I’m honestly sad to see the Java Chip Frappuccino go. It’s been my go-to order since I was a kid, and I still order it on occasion when I want a little ‘treat myself’ moment. Luckily the Mocha Frappuccino will stay on Starbucks menus and gives a similar chocolate-coffee flavor.
Starbucks
White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino
Alternative order: Mocha Frappuccino
I fear there’s not a totally similar alternative order to the bygone White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino, but it’s very possible that you could order the Mocha Frappuccino with white chocolate sauce instead of the regular mocha to situate your white chocolate cravings.
Starbucks
Crème Frappuccinos (Chai, Caramel Ribbon Crunch, Double Chocolaty Chip, Chocolate Cookie Crumble, White Chocolate)
Alternative order: Vanilla Bean Frappuccino
Starbucks’ beloved non-caffeinated Crème Frappuccinos will no longer be offered starting March 4. Instead, I recommend trying out the Vanilla Bean Frappuccino and customizing it with your desired flavor – Starbucks still has so many syrups.
Starbucks
White Hot Chocolate
Alternative order: Hot Chocolate
Though the “official” White Hot Chocolate will no longer be available, Starbucks says you can still customize a regular Hot Chocolate with either mocha or white chocolate mocha sauce.
Starbucks
Royal English Breakfast Latte
Alternative order: London Fog Latte
Where the discontinued Royal English Breakfast Latte includes, well, Royal English Breakfast tea, you can still get the same sweet floral notes from a London Fog Latte.
Starbucks
Honey Almondmilk Flat White
Alternative order: Flat White
The Honey Almondmilk Flat White is sadly going away, but you can actually still order it, as long as you request some customizations that make it the exact same drink. Starting March 4, order the Flat White with almond milk and honey – or any milk and flavor of your choice!
