Purses are elemental to putting together a good outfit, though there are some designs that you don’t want to be caught carrying in 2025. As far as purse trends go, you may not realize your everyday crossbody or tote is downright outdated.

Luckily, I’m here to note 4 out-of-style purse trends to help guide your accessorygame this year! Of course, please take these outdated purse trends with a grain of salt – personal style is personal for a reason, and you can always rock items that others might think are distasteful.

Scroll on for 4 “outdated” purse trends you shouldn't be buying in 2025.

1. Super Tiny Purses

Jacquemus

Jacquemus The Chiquito

Micro purses definitely had their moment once Jacquemus' The Chiquito came on the scene. Even though super tiny purses are super cute, I have two bones to pick with them.

First, I think their small silhouettes are not flattering at all – they can throw off the proportions of your ‘fit so easily.

Kurt Geiger

Kurt Geiger Micro Kensington Drench Bag

Secondly, these bags are not even practical! A single credit card and a lip balm is truly all these little guys can manage.

Perhaps that’s all one needs at times, but as someone who likes to tote around many, many trinkets, big bags are where it’s at from a practical standpoint. You’re likely going to get some funny looks if you step out with a micro purse in 2025.

2. Old School Vera Bradley

Etsy

Vera Bradley Versailles Saddle Up Quilted Crossbody Bag

These paisley-patterned bags were everything to me – in 2013, that is. If you’re still rockin’ a Very Bradley purse (bonus points if it’s in one of their retired colorways), I’m here to remind you that they were in their heyday over a decade ago. Sorry!

Vera Bradley

Vera Bradley Original Zip Hipster

Although cozy, easy to wear (not so much to pair), and easier to wash, these cotton purses look undoubtedly tacky if you’re wearing them in 2025.

3. Overly-Monogrammed Purses

Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton Neverfull

It seems that quiet luxury is still the name of the game when it comes to current purse trends, which means bags plastered with brand logos have gotta go in 2025. You’ll surely recognize the Louis Vuitton Neverfull and its endless logos. I say ditch it!

Michael Kors Outlet

Michael Kors Jet Set Large Printed Logo Crossbody Bag

Michael Kors and Coach are a couple more brands that don’t shy away from large and – might I say – tacky logo prints. Instead, reach for a sleek, no-fuss purse that’ll be way easier to pair with your wardrobe.

4. Woven Purses

Anthropologie

The Mini Brigitte Satchel by Melie Bianco

Woven bags have so much going on visually that they can distract from your overall look. Though styles like this Anthropologie bag popped off several years ago, the past is the past for a reason.

Quince

Quince Italian Leather Small Handwoven Tote

You can find woven bags in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but I have to rule all of them out as total ‘skips’.

If you're someone who can't remember to water your plants for the life of you, don't worry. You're far from alone, and you do not have to give up on your dream of decorating your living space with gorgeous greenery. Luckily, there are plenty of drought-tolerant plants out there that thrive with minimal care and can withstand a bit of neglect, whether you're busy with work, a frequent traveler, or just tend to be a bit forgetful. From aloe plants to ZZ plants, here are 10 different drought-tolerant varieties that make being a plant parent much easier.

Scroll to find out the most drought-tolerant plants you can get for your home!

1. Aloe

Plants.com

Aloe Vera Plant

Aloe vera is well-known for its soothing properties when it comes to sunburn. But this spiky succulent with thick, serrated leaves is also a low-maintenance indoor plant. It doesn't require frequent watering. In fact, it's actually best to let the soil dry out completely between drinks to prevent over-watering. And although it grows slowly, aloe can eventually reach up to three feet in height and width.

2. Snake Plant

West Elm

Live Sansevieria Plant w/ Grow Pot

Snake plants are beloved for their striking, sword-shaped dark green leaves, which are often highlighted with patterns in silver, white, cream, or yellow hues. These tough plants are ideal for forgetful waterers, too, as they can go weeks without needing a drink!

So, this variety can easily reach an impressive four feet tall and even thrives in a range of lighting conditions, from low to bright light.

3. Zebra Plant

Home Depot

Aphelandra Zebra Plant with Yellow Blooms

With its white-striped leaves, the zebra plant can add a stylish touch to any windowsill. But, perhaps its best quality is that this low-maintenance succulent thrives with very little attention, making it ideal for busy plant owners.

This variety typically remains under a foot tall, so it remains compact and easy to fit in smaller living spaces, like apartments. Additionally, the zebra plant prefers bright light and well-draining soil, so you should always allow the soil to dry out in between waterings.

4. Bunny Ear Cactus

Anthropologie

Bunny Ear Cactus

As this variety's cute name suggests, the bunny ear cactus features flat pads that resemble the ears of a rabbit. Not only is this charming cactus drought-tolerant, but it also doesn't have the sharp spines typically associated with cacti. Still, you should be cautious of the tiny barbs on its pads, which can irritate your skin if touched.

The bunny ear cactus needs plenty of bright light to thrive, but when given enough sun exposure, you'll be rewarded with beautiful yellow blooms in the spring.

5. Corn Plant

Amazon

American Plant Exchange Dracaena Mass Cane ‘Corn Plant’

Despite its name, the corn plant isn't really related to the corn you eat. Rather, its long green leaves do resemble corn stalks! Aside from bringing a bunch of greenery into your home, this plant is low-maintenance and surprisingly forgiving if you sometimes forget to water. It will bounce back if it dries out a little, making it a no-fuss variety.

6. Ponytail Palm

West Elm

Bloomscape Live Ponytail Palm w/ Planter

The ponytail palm is a very tough plant, thanks to its thick stems that store moisture. So, it can easily survive if you forget to water it now and then! This drought-tolerant beauty only needs to be watered every couple of weeks in the warmer months and every three to four weeks during the winter. It also does well in both low and bright light and can reach an impressive 10 feet tall.

7. Ox Tongue

Etsy

Gasteria Spotted Ox Tongue Rare Succulent Live Plant

Featuring rugged leaves, the ox tongue can add visual intrigue to any indoor plant collection. This succulent doesn't require frequent watering, either, and in the winter, it can go for weeks without needing a drink. Instead, it flourishes in bright light, and with the right amount of sun, it will produce pink-red flowers during the spring.

8. Pothos

West Elm

Live Mini Pothos Plant w/ Hanging Planter

Pothos is a favorite in both homes and offices thanks to its hardiness and glossy leaves. This variety has earned its reputation as one of the most low-maintenance plants, flourishing even without daily watering. On top of that, it handles everything from low light to bright light and can tolerate drying out in between waterings.

9. Dracaena

Amazon

Costa Farms Dracaena Golden Heart Live Indoor Plant

Commonly known as "dragon trees," dracaena are favored for their sword-shaped leaves and resilience in the face of neglect. They're highly adaptable, thriving in low light and requiring minimal watering. They can even handle missed feedings from time to time, too. So, dracaena can make bold decor statements with little care needed from their owners.

10. ZZ Plant

The Sill

ZZ Plant

Last but not least is the ZZ plant, which has thick and leathery leaves that almost resemble plastic. Thankfully, this drought-tolerant variety is just as low-maintenance as the fake plants you can buy at the store. ZZ plants only require occasional watering, and while they do best in bright light, they're also perfectly fine in low-light areas.

Justin Baldoni shocked the internet when he released a website full of text messages and emails surrounding It Ends With Us in a 5-year timeline of events. The messages ranged from discussing Blake Lively sneaking an unfinished cut of the movie to fans to Justin, Ryan, Blake, and Taylor Swift discussing a script rewrite, but according to one First Amendment lawyer, Justin's website could actually "backfire on him."

Here's the latest news on Justin Baldoni's website amid Blake Lively It Ends With Us feud.

Why Justin Baldoni's website is "unusual."

www.youtube.com

- YouTube

Kevin Goldberg, Freedom Forum's Vice President and First Amendment expert, told Forbes that "this is a PR campaign being played out in the courts, especially the defamation part."

"From a First Amendment point of view, that is unusual," the lawyer continues. "Public figures don't usually win these cases and are not supposed to use the courts to try the case in the court of public opinion."

Justin Baldoni's website, TheLawsuitInfo.com, includes an Amended Complaint in his lawsuit against The New York Times and a 168-page timeline of events.

"I think it's unusual and I'm not sure it's appropriate once you have already filed a defamation lawsuit," he says. "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."

Sony Pictures Releasing

After admitting the website and all its details could be introduced as evidence in Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's March 2026 trial, Kevin says he thinks it's clear that the website clearly "only exists for one purpose: to try to sway the public's point of view of Baldoni."

"And again, 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," he adds. "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."

Kevin also thinks the website is somewhat "disheartening" and "unnecessary" to the case because he can just win his case in court. "They're really only supposed to [use the courts for reputation purposes] when they have no other recourse...[The media] are the ones who, if he wins this case or forces Blake Lively to back down, might be the next ones who find themselves on the backfoot of a lawsuit filed by a celebrity who doesn't like what you've written or said about them...And that's not what the First Amendment is about," saying that the amendment is supposed to "allow the conversations to occur in public not in court."

And doing both may actually "backfire on Justin," Kevin says. "Is his reputation being restored? I'm not sure it is, in my mind."

Justin Baldoni's Amended Complaint is a 224-page document outlining his lawsuit against the New York Times.

"The following is not a story the Wayfarer Parties ever wished to tell," the beginning of the complaint reads. "Unfortunately, Blake Lively (“Lively”) has unequivocally left them with no choice, not only to set the record straight in response to Lively’s accusations and The New York Times Company’s maliciously and recklessly propagated falsehoods, but also to put the spotlight on the parts of Hollywood that they have dedicated their careers to being the antithesis of."

Justin's legal team continues that "had Lively chosen to merely ride out the self-inflicted press catastrophe she faced in August 2024, the public would likely have moved on and never known the truth about her...No one except the parties involved would have known that she used threats and extortion to relegate the colleagues she once highly praised to a basement to sit out their own premiere, while she enjoyed the spotlight of a premiere and afterparty that was ultimately co-financed by both Wayfarer and Sony. She would have gotten away with these things and more, because Baldoni, focused entirely on seeing the film succeed, would have held his tongue, as he had through the year and a half that Lively tormented him, his family, and his partners."
