7 #OOTDs for the Week: 7 Stylish Outer Layers to Rock This Fall

We’re not going to lie: We love a little layering, and one of our favorite parts about fall is the chance to choose from so many toppers. Since we’re under wraps for months on end, that outer layer should be just as stylish as the rest of your on-point ensemble. From cozy, statement-making ponchos to jackets in bold animal prints, here are seven ways to keep warm and on trend this season.

1. @grasiemercedes: Embrace your wild side with a leopard-print coat that’s sure to turn some heads. (via @grasiemercedes)

2. @peonylim: After spotting velvet lips on the Jason Wu runway, we’re ready to give this ’90s-style fabric another go. How to pull it off? Grab a sophisticated silhouette like a structured blazer, à la Peony Lim in a rich oxblood hue. (via @peonylim)

3. @gabifresh: From sleek blazer-inspired interpretations to warm, wooly numbers, capes are the must-have coverup this season. To elevate your night-out getup, toss one over a sassy jumpsuit and lace-up heels. (via @gabifresh)

4. @secretlittlestars: We’re definitely having a major love affair with denim right now, and with pieces like this trench coat stunner, can you really blame us? Swap it out for your standard outer layer and prepare to own the streets with your impeccable style. (via @secretlittlestars)

5. @pandorasykes: Vinyl seems to be popping up everywhere, spreading a little mid-century style wherever it goes. Pair it up with flares, a bow-neck blouse and ankle boots or a turtleneck and a knee-length skirt for some major throwback vibes. (via @pandorasykes)

6. @shinythoughts: The classic biker jacket gets a major makeover for fall with luxe materials like suede, in seasonally appropriate hues. To really drive the whole autumnal thing home, pair it up with plaid trousers and a chunky knit. (via @shinythoughts)

7. @thesteelemaiden: Give everything from pencil skirts to your fave pair of jeans an über-comfy edge with a warm, wooly poncho in a bold print. (via @thesteelemaiden)

Apparently we've been living under a huge summer rock because we didn't know there were so many cute fall Macy's dresses out there right now! From Vince Camuto to Ralph Lauren, there's something for everyone! Got a taste for faux leather? There are two pieces you can choose! Want to wear something modest, yet stylish? We know just what you need! By the time you finish scrolling, your cart may be fuller than you anticipated because these Macy's dresses are total must-haves!

Macy's

Tommy Hilfiger Crossover-Hem Dress

Florals for spring aren't groundbreaking, but during fall they are. This crossover-hem dress is for anyone who's been reading one too many dark romance books and want to dress like the mysterious book or tea shop owner who's stylish. It has an invisible back zipper for a seamless look and is lined in case you're afraid of wearing something sheer.

Macy's

Avec Les Filles Faux Leather Drop-Waist Dress

It's hard to believe, but leather dresses can be sexy without revealing a lot of skin. The bodice is fitted, but the 'skirt' portion flares out, offering a nice balance that makes you feel comfortable. Plus, we just love a drop waist!

Macy's

Lauren Ralph Lauren Double-Faced Georgette Shirtdress

It's Ralph Lauren — of course you'll want to wear this shirtdress every other week! This design is incredibly flattering, and it's the perfect shade of green to rock this autumn. Okay, and the cute barrel cuffs are also a nice touch!

Macy's

Vince Camuto Floral Printed Faux-Wrap Belted Dress

Add pops of flirty color to your fall wardrobe with Vince Camuto's belted dress! The ruffled hem will make it look like you're wearing floating flowers which will look so good with a pair of Steve Madden boots! The belt camouflaged against the dress, so it almost looks like there's nothing there — perfect for anyone who can't be bothered to tie the perfect bow.

Macy's

Petal and Pup Callum Dress

Denim dresses are still trending which is why this Petal and Pup piece is a must-buy for me. From the classic neckline to the accented stitching, it's a pick you'll want to wear over and over.

Macy's

Donna Karen Faux Leather Side Ruched Dress

Unafraid to show a little thigh while wearing faux leather? Get into this Donna Karen dress — literally. You'll love the side ruched detail along with the neckline meant to accentuate your chosen necklace. It'll hug your curves in all the right place without making you feel like you're stuffing yourself into something that reminds you of a moto jacket.

Macy's

DKNY Ombré Belted Pleat Skirt Dress

You can easily get away with wearing this pleat skirt dress to work or church because the hemline rests right below your knees. The cute contrast between the solid top and pinstriped bottom keeps it from being anything but boring which is the goal for fall.

Macy's

24seven Comfort Apparel Collared Wrap Dress

Dressing for comfort is at the top of everyone's list this fall, so it makes sense to have a collared wrap dress on-hand this season. It's the easiest way to look sophisticated without trying too hard. All you'll need are a pair of cute Target heels, cute jewelry, and one of your wool fall coats to complete your look.

Macy's

En Saison Mixed Media Dress

You have to buy at least one cute ribbed dress during fall — it's an essential piece that signals the transitional weather. Though the temps can fluctuate depending on where you live, you can definitely get away with wearing this dress once temperatures drop down to 65 degrees and or lower!

Macy's

ELOQUII Plus Size Funnel Neck Dress

This easy fit dress was made for fall! You don't have to worry about pesky zippers because you just simply pull it over your head and it glides right over your curves. It does have a funnel neckline, but the fabric will accentuate your hips in the best way.

Macy's

Donna Karan Metallic Brocade Dress

Have a birthday or special event coming up? Don't get caught lacking without this metallic brocade dress! It reminds of The Gilded Age with it's gold pattern that's set against organza.

Following in the footsteps of Spider-Man: No Way Home and Dr. Strange: Multiverse of Madness, literally EVERYONE is talking about the cast for Deadpool 3 (officially titled Deadpool & Wolverine). Rumors have been circulating for quite awhile about names like Channing Tatum, Elizabeth Olsen, and Taron Egerton making cameos in the new Marvel movie, but there's one potential casting that had Twitter going crazy: Taylor Swift.

Thanks to Harry Styles' appearance in Eternals, the popstar to superhero pipeline is something we know ~all too well~. Even though the popstar didn't end up making an appearance, we were even happier to see (or rather, hear) Blake Lively in the movie! Here's everything we know about Deadpool 3 — and AND Blake Lively's role.

Is Deadpool and Wolverine streaming?

Marvel Studios/Disney

Yes, you can rent Deadpool & Wolverine on platforms like Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime! There's nothing like fighting the universe's biggest and baddest in the comfort of your own home.

Is Blake Lively Lady Deadpool?

Blake Lively/Instagram

Yes! Blake Lively makes a cameo as the masked Lady Deadpool, while Inez Reynolds appears as Kid Pool and Olin Reynolds makes their onscreen debut as Baby pool. In an Instagram post celebrating Deadpool & Wolverine, Blake Lively revealed the first time Ryan Reynolds told her about "meta" superhero Deadpool was when they were working on The Green Lantern.

"We understood in theory, but how it would come together for an audience was murky, for everyone but [Ryan]. It wasn’t a real dream. The movie was never gonna happen," she says. "Just before all this in 2010, [Rob Liefeld] drew an unmasked Lady Deadpool for the first time." Lady Deadpool is an alternate universe's version of the famed superhero.

"12 years later I read Rob’s post," she continues. "A year after that, @deadpoolmovie 3 was filmed...The universe has such a magical sense of humor sometimes."

Some fans immediately jumped to the conclusion Blake is in the new Deadpool movie, especially after she rocked a Lady Deadpool-esque 'fit + high pony to the premiere alongside BFF Gigi Hadid.

Is Taylor Swift in Deadpool 3?

Image via Kevin Winter/Getty Images for dcp

No, Taylor Swift is not in Deadpool 3. But this dazzlingfan art will have to tide us over until she decides to make an appearance!

In a new interview with Fandango, Ryan Reynolds addressed the cameo rumors...kind of. “There’s so much speculation about so many people that might end up in the film,” Ryan says. “I saw one that was convinced that Elvis is in the movie. Anything can happen and that’s sort of what I love about this universe. Surprises are the essence of Deadpool.”

The rumor that Taylor Swift will appear as Dazzler (which has been on the internet since Taylor tooka picture with the cast and crew of 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse) gained traction after a video from The DisInsider. The mutant, a singer who can turn sound into light, has been one of MCU boss Kevin Feige's favorites for a long time.

"Many years ago I asked Kevin Feige if he were to ever direct his own Marvel movie, which character would he want to focus on," Fandago's Eric Davis tweeted. "He said Dazzler. He’s a big fan."

In addition to manipulating sound and light, Dazzler (whose real name, Alison, also happens to be Taylor's middle name) can also create holograms. "The louder the source, the more powerful the output," says Marvel's official site. "She can also shoot bursts of light out of her fingers, hands, eyes, and other parts."

Not only would the character's popstar similarities make sense, but Taylor is also good friends with Ryan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively. Their kids have been included in Taylor's music (like the intro to Reputation's "Gorgeous" and the names of folklore's fictional characters). Ryan lent Taylor his Deadpool suit for Halloween and both the Deadpool 3 announcement and All Too Well: The Short Film were filmed in Ryan and Blake's house.

On February 16, the official Australian Marvel Entertainment account posted a photo of some Deadpool and Wolverine friendship bracelets, in addition to a rainbow bracelet confirming the July 25 release date. "Besties," the caption reads. Considering Taylor Swift's Eras Tour has become known for friendship bracelets, and she was in Australia at the time.

Who's in the Deadpool & Wolverine cast?

Marvel Studios/Disney

In addition to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, we'll see Morena Baccarin as Vanessa, Stefan Kapičić as Colossus, Brianna Hildebrand as Warhead, Shioli Kutsuna as Yukio, Owen Wilson as Mobius (who became a fan favorite after Loki), as well as Succession's Matthew Macfadyen and The Crown's Emma Corrin.

As far as cameos, Deadpool & Wolverine did not disappoint! We also see Jennifer Garner as Elektra from 2003's Daredevil and 2005's Elektra, Chris Evans as the original Fantastic 4's Johnny Storm, Wesley Snipes as Blade, and Dafne Keen as Laura/X-23 from Logan. Channing Tatum also appears as Gambit.

What's the Deadpool 3 release date?

Marvel Studios/Disney

Deadpool 3 hits theaters July 26, 2024. The movie was originally scheduled for May 3, 2024, but because of the strikes happening in Hollywood, it became one of many delayed movies.

What is Deadpool & Wolverine about?

Marvel Studios/Disney

Ryan Reynolds announced Deadpool & Wolverine with a hilarious Instagram post on September 27, 2022. "[Deadpool's] first appearance in the MCU obviously needs to feel special," he says in the video. (The first Deadpool was distributed by 20th Century Fox). "We need to stay true to the character." He goes on to joke that despite all his brainstorming, he has no ideas for the film — except bringing back Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

"Hey Hugh," Ryan says as Hugh crosses the background of the video. "You want to play Wolverine one more time?"

"Yeah, sure Ryan," Hugh responds.

The announcement immediately started trending on social media (Ryan's original post currently has 3.8M likes), and while we don't have many official plot details yet (Marvel loves to keep their surprises, well, surprising), we do know that time travel will play a role.

Watch the hilarious, gory, and unhinged Deadpool 3 trailer here! The movie brings the classic funny-yet-gory story we've come to expect from Ryan Reynolds, but it also introduces newer MCU details like the TVA from Loki and the next chapter of superheroes thanks to Wolverine! We haven't seen the X-Men in the MCU before and I cannot wait to see how they make their mark on the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Is there a Wolverine variant in Deadpool & Wolverine?

Marvel Studios/Disney

Yes, Deadpool 3 shows us multiple Wolverines — not just Hugh Jackman's version. We also see Henry Cavill! After the introduction of the TVA, the multiverse, and series like What If? (not to mention Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness giving us John Krasinski as Mr. Fantastic!!), literally anything is possible when it comes to casting in the MCU these days.

Is Deadpool's girlfriend alive in Deadpool 3?

Marvel Studios/Disney

Yes, it appears that Vanessa is alive in Deadpool 3what?! Turns out, Wade used a time device (with a little help from Warhead and Yukio) to go back and save her before she met her untimely end. However, it looks like that one decision gets him trouble with the Time Variance Authority (TVA). TBH, he shouldn't be surprised. They don't mess around.

Why is Deadpool 3 part of the MCU?

Joe Lederer/Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation/IMDb

After Disney acquired 21st Century Fox in 2019, characters like the X-Men, Deadpool, and the Fantastic Four joined the MCU. Hugh Jackman's involvement in Deadpool 3 marks Wolverine's introduction to the MCU. And we finally got official word that our Fantastic Four will be played by The Last of Us star Pedro Pascal, The Crown's Vanessa Kirby, Stranger Things' Joseph Quinn, and The Bear's Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Talk about a star-studded cast!

"I have too many boots in my closet," said no one ever. While you may have decided to donate some pairs you've outgrown to make space in your wardrobe, we're sure you're likely already on the hunt for chic replacements as we speak. You could call this intuition our heightened psychic abilities from the Autumn Equinox...or you could say we've been there, done that.

Since it's impossible to buy all the stylish fall shoes — though, we're certainly trying — we've found the top 15 Steve Madden boots that made it to our wishlists this year!

Short Steve Madden Boots

Steve Madden

Roland Brown Leather Boots

Every fall closet needs at least one pair of Steve Madden boots that are a little rugged. These are great for the days when it's rainy out and you're not trying to chance slipping on the pavement.

Put on your best trench coat, rib knit sweater, and boot cut jeans for a casual look you'll replicate well past winter!

Steve Madden

Lizabelle Leopard Boots

The leopard print trend is the gift that keeps on giving because it seems to refresh itself every year. It seems like everyone can agree it's one trend you can't mess up. The sleek design and squared heel give it an air of chicness that makes it look like you're ready to take on the Runway office á la The Devil Wears Prada.

Steve Madden

Rogue Black Box Leather Boots

Feeling drawn to dark academia books now that it's fall? We don't blame you, but we do suggest slipping into these Rogue Black Box leather boots! We can see someone from the cast of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina wearing them with something preppy.

Steve Madden

Keeper Black Leather Boots

More concerned with walking to the beat of your own drum than keeping up with trends? You'll love these comfortable moto boots. While these don't come in half sizes — so you'll have to size up if you're more of a 7.5 than a 7 — they're still the perfect match for all the cute leather jackets we can't stop looking at!

Steve Madden

Brooks Beige Snake Boots

Going for a rocker vibe this fall and need something that'll make you stand out in the crowd? Go for these snake print ankle booties! They're the pointy best friends to the faux leather pants you'll be shuffling into. Who knows, you might keep them in heavy rotation with all of your fall outfits.

Steve Madden

Crue Chestnut Boots

You don't have to go over budget to wear UGGs — these dupes to give you the same appeal and comfort for much less. The inner lining is made of cozy faux shearling which will work with those days you'd rather be bed-rotting, but are forced to show your face at school or to run a few errands.

Steve Madden

Avalanche Tan Boots

Plan to spend a week at a semi-secluded log cabin? This pair is very aptly named 'Avalanche' for all your outdoor adventures. They're cute, functional, and will keep your feet warm when the temperature drops.

Long Steve Madden Boots

Steve Madden

Dawn Wine Boots

These tall boots are the exact shade of wine red everyone's going crazy over this fall! No really, you need Dawn — yes, I'm on a first-name basis with these boots — because she's going to elevate your sweater dress. Although the picture shows otherwise, the heel on these boots are more comfortable than you think.

Steve Madden

Lasso Brown Distressed Boots

We've seen a lot of cowgirl boots during the past couple of years, but none are quite as sexy as this pair. Keeping on par with the distressed look, we're sure the stitching also plays a role in what makes them unique.

Since each pair of these boots are handmade, it's normal if you buy a pair that doesn't look exactly like this. You'll still be getting the same premium leather and sexy wear these boots promise to give.

Steve Madden

Baddie Brown Distressed Boots

These pair of distressed Steve Madden boots are like a foray into that rebellious part of ourselves we generally keep locked away. While we're not talking about anything too crazy, we are talking about our inner rebels who have finally learned to stop being people pleasers.

It's no coincidence these are appropriately named 'Baddie.' Let yours out and grab this pair!

Steve Madden

Lucid Brown Suede Brown Boots

If you plan to spend time in printed maxi dresses, you need these suede boots. If you're giving them the side eye because they have a kitten heel, but we say don't knock it until you try it! Every outfit doesn't have require 4+ inch heels, especially if you plan to spend time visiting an apple orchard before heading over to a pumpkin patch!

Steve Madden

Lizette Cognac Suede Boots

There's the squared-heel we've fallen so in love with! While traditional stiletto heels are usually praised, we think nothing beats it's sleeker (and more supportive) sister. When that heel is paired with suede, you get these perfect Steve Madden boots.

Steve Madden

Lander Black Crocodile Boots

The best thing about crocodile print boots is how well they elevate any outfit. From casual to date night outfits, the Lander Boots will make you look sophisticated with every step you take. Don't be surprised if people keep stopping to ask you where you got them from.

Steve Madden

Bellamie Sand Suede Boots

Is it the year of the suede boots? We won't go as far as to say that, but it seems like our favorite Steve Madden boots have this one feature in common. The slouchy appearance will still give your outfits a touch of elegance, but people will know you're approachable given the relaxed fit.

Steve Madden

Ruskin Chestnut Suede Boots

Take a break from anything with a heel height over 2" and go for the Ruskin boots. They have a squared-toe that'll make people think twice about messing with you in public. They have the perfect weather-beaten look that makes certain boots look better over time which adds to the appeal of them.

Steve Madden

Faye Bone Leather Boots

If you could care less about looking approachable, slide your feet into these bone leather boots. They're trendy and look like they mean business — like all your upcoming fall outfits.

The Most Magical 'Harry Potter' Cocktails

Hybrid Storytellers/Unsplash

Pumpkin Juice

This Harry Potter-approved drink is ready in just 3 minutes with a quick blend of pumpkin, a few fruit juices, and apple cider. Feel free to spike this punch on your own for an even more magical sip! (via Brit + Co)

Nerdy Mamma

Unicorn Blood Mocktail

Get the kids in on the Harry Potter magic with a mocktail! The best part of this drink is without a doubt the golden candy flakes — they really add the magical feel we're looking for on our journey to Hogwarts ;). (via Nerdy Mamma)

Sugar and Soul

Harry Potter Amortentia Potion Cocktail

One of our favorite potions in the Wizarding World is Amortentia (the love potion) for a few simple reasons: it's pink, it's glittery, and it's romantic. Need we say more? You won't want to wait until Valentine's Day to make your own considering it features homemade grenadine. Yes, please! (via Sugar and Soul)

The Starving Chef

The Howler

Mrs. Weasley's Howler (a magical letter that audibly reads itself to you, FYI) is one of the most memorable aspects of The Chamber of Secrets. And if Mrs. Weasley is one of your favorite characters then you should definitely make this fruity Harry Potter cocktail in her honor! (via The Starving Chef)

Feast and West

Harry Potter Boozy Frozen Butterbeer

We couldn't tell you how many times we wanted to try Butterbeer growing up (the scene in The Half-Blood Prince movie where all the characters spend time at The Three Broomsticks played a pivotal role in this craving). Now not only can we make it ourselves, but we can make it boozy. Say no more! The secret here is going to be a butterscotch schnapps + vanilla vodka combo. Wow. (via Feast and West)

In Literature

Liquid Luck [Felix Felicis]

This might be the easiest drink you've ever made — it only requires three ingredients! Liquid Luck's most recognizable feature is its golden shimmer so don't be afraid to add a lot of edible glitter and by a lot, we mean a lot. (via In Literature)

Whip & Wander

Gillywater

In the Harry Potter universe, gillyweed is a plant that, when consumed, gives you gills and webbed fingers and toes. While we don't have gillyweed, you can swap it for cucumber, mint, and limes. We'd definitely consider this drink to be the most magical water ever! (via Whip & Wander)

Gastronom

Unicorn Blood Harry Potter Cocktail

In the Harry Potter books and movies, unicorn blood is silver and has the power to keep someone alive. Talk about a powerful drink! This Harry Potter cocktail uses Elderflower liqueur and Creme de Violette to get that gray finish. Feel free to add edible glitter for some extra sparkle. (via Gastronom)

Half Baked Harvest

Death Eater Negroni

This dark and moody version of the classic drink is the perfect thing to sip on during your next Harry Potter marathon, Halloween get together, or any regular night of the week. Gin, pomegranate juice, and Campari come together to create something magical. (via Half Baked Harvest)

Patrick Fore/Unsplash

Butterbeer Cocktail

While nonalcoholic recipes for Butterbeer abound, this version has some kick, thanks to vanilla vodka, butterscotch schnapps and a glug of Guinness. A couple of these will have you dancing around like happy house elves. (via Cooking With Curls)

The Flavor Bender

Peach and Raspberry Unicorn Blood Cocktail

The secret to this gorgeous-looking cocktail is the “shimmery liqueur” recipe, which provides the magical silvery swirls. But it’s the homemade raspberry puree that makes it taste so delicious. Disclaimer: No unicorns are harmed in the making of this Harry Potter cocktail. (via The Flavor Bender)

Cooking With Curls

Witches Brew Cocktail

Though not referenced by name in the series, this punch is an homage to the Hogwart’s spirit. It can be made ahead of time in big batches, freeing you up to mingle with the other witches… er, we mean guests. Made of orange juice, pomegranate juice and citrus vodka, it goes down real easy. (via Cooking With Curls)

Half Baked Harvest

The Hermione Granger Cocktail

In honor of one of the best leading ladies of all time, make this delicious and fruity Harry Potter cocktail for your next Hogwarts party. It features raspberries, lemon, vodka, and sparkling water for a flavor experience worthy of this Gryffindor. (via Half Baked Harvest)

Patrick Fore/Unsplash

Polyjuice Potion

No Harry Potter party is complete without a big vat of Polyjuice punch. This recipe calls for lime sherbert, vodka and soda, and it bubbles up ominously when first mixed. Serve it immediately after pouring so that your guests can get the full effect. (via Cooking With Curls)

Cooking With Curls

Pumpkintini

Like Harry’s favorite pumpkin juice, this blend of pumpkin puree and coconut milk is refreshing and delicious. Unlike Harry’s sipper, though, this one is spiked with white rum and whiskey. Rim the glass with crushed graham cracker crumbles and it’s like drinking pumpkin pie. We think grown-up Harry would approve. (via Cooking With Curls)

Jelly Shot Test Kitchen

Polyjuice Potion Jelly Shots

These creepy gelatinous blobs are made with pineapple juice, pineapple vodka, ginger ale and lime sherbet, and are just as tasty if you leave out the alcohol so that you can serve them to kids. Remove the jellies from their molds before they’re completely set if you want to get the right ghastly bubbly-potion effect. (via Jelly Shot Test Kitchen)
