Though you may have graduated, it's never a bad idea to dive into the back-to-school spirit. Our recommended method is through your wardrobe! Not to mention, donning preppy style-approved pleated skirts, chunky sweaters, and trench coats gives your summer-to-fall look the vibes it needs for the changing seasons. Luckily, Target's latest Future Collective collaboration with Reese Blutstein has everything you need to rock the transition.

Inspired primarily by vintage fashion and nature, Blutstein, an Atlanta-based influencer and creative, took to Future Collective at Target to deliver an over 100-piece edit that combines flair *and* function. Each piece reflects uniqueness in the details, but they also serve stylishly as easy closet basics. There's no doubt that her on-trend collab is perfect for the coming colder months, as it includes lots of outwear and long-sleeved picks. Here are our fave items from the collection to shop now!

Baggy jeans are the moment. Go beyond plain AF pants with this patchwork-y denim style! The cargo details transform this piece into an on-trend wardrobe staple.

We simply can't resist a cable knit sweater come falltime. This one is comfortably cropped, so it'll be super flattering whenever you throw it on.

This piece from Target's Future Collective edit couldn't be more desired at the moment. Long denim skirts are so popular, and you can rock one with some chunky loafers or ballet flats – easy.

Sportiness shines again with this racer-inspired faux leather jacket! Wear it with more tailored pieces from your closet to flaunt a balanced look.

Future Collective with Reese Blutstein Long Sleeve Square Neck Knit Midi Sweater Dress

This totally-balletcore dress is calling our name. The low-waist hem and dreamy drop skirt is giving the girls *exactly* what they need for fall fashion!

Future Collective with Reese Blutstein Saddle Wrap Pant

The Saddle Wrap Pant features a distinct front closure that hugs your midsection with grace. We absolutely love the crisp pleat detail running down the legs, too! From work to happy hour, this pick holds up.

Future Collective with Reese Blutstein Long Sleeve Plaid Cropped Blazer

Professional ladies, let's hear it for this blazer! Crafted with a cropped length, it'll give your work wardrobe a much-needed style refresh.

My best friends mean the world to me, and though I wish I could give them the world, this year, I just want to get them gifts that are as special as our friendship. Whether it’s a personalized pendant, a cute skincare set, or the lip shade they simply can’t stop talking about, I want them to know just how much I care about their companionship! Thus, I’ve curated the ultimate list of gifts for best friends to help you gift your besties something they’ll truly love, especially if it comes from you.

Summer Fridays

This lip balm is viral for a reason. Your besties' lips deserve all the instant moisture, color, and shine this tube provides. This brown sugar shade looks decadent AF, but you can also snag it in other fun 'flavors' like iced coffee and mint.

Dieux is one of my go-to skincare brands for effective products that still take it easy on my sensitive skin. Their Baptism cleanser, part of this giftable duo, provides a nice clean without stripping any moisture from my skin. I also use their Instant Angel moisturizer religiously in the wintertime since things tend to get real dry. I'd say you can confidently gift this set to besties of any skin type.

Personalized gifts will always feel special. Kick this gift idea up a notch by inserting a little pic of you and your BFF in the locket before wrapping and handing it over!

There’s something about a platform shoe that just makes me feel powerful AF. Given the height boost, they also just supply a pleasing balance of proportion when I wear them with, well, just about anything. Platform loafers are no exception, and I personally embrace them for their versatility. The magic entwined with platform loafers makes them easy to style for any dress code, designating them the prime pick for the office or dinner dates. Slip into these 15 platform loafers that work well with maxi dresses and trousers alike!

Vagabond Cosmo 2.0 Loafer

These platform loafers are basic, but dependable. They pair with practically anything you wear, plus they're crafted with durability in mind. Bring on the chunky soles!

Intentionally Blank Trio Lug Sole Oxford

Go for a pop of color this fall when you need a lil' wardrobe refresh. These standout blue shoes live up to the classic loafer shape, but do supply a fair amount of straight up fun!

Sam Edelman Meela Loafer

These platform loafers strike an attractive balance between cutesy and edgy – and I'm so here for it. Sport them with a pleated midi skirt and an oversized sweater to complement the season!

Steve Madden Landon Platform Loafer

Somewhere between a Mary Jane and platform loafer, this elevated pair was born. Fixed with an adorable bow detail, these steppers are ideal for channeling balletcore with a bit of spunk.

Charles & Keith Jules Platform Buckled Loafers

Needing an extra, *extra* boost? Step up to any challenge in these larger-than-life platform loafers. They flaunt eye-catching, artistic details from the big ol' buckle to the squiggled seam work.

Dr. Martens Vegan Adrian Felix Platform Tassel Loafers

These platform loafers give you a nearly 2-inch lift while you stand upon the Dr. Martens' heavy-duty soles. The upper on these shoes recalls loafers of the 70's, enhancing your outfits with the perfect amount of prep.

Alohas Trailblazer Loafers

These cleat-like soles will make your footwear stand out from the crowd, and *also* give each and every step some much-needed support!

Camper Milah Loafers

Don't shy away from a little attitude! These platform loafers give it all, infusing your work 'fit with personality – because who wants to clock in looking drab?

UNIF Comma Shoe

Another hybrid between Mary Janes and platform loafers, this pair from UNIF boasts some fun features, like ultra-chunky soles, adorable buckles, and cutout eyelets near the toes.

Jeffrey Campbell Recess Double Platform Loafer

These platform loafers come ready to shine, as they're finished with a reflective black leather. The 'platform' part can be directly attributed to the double-stacked soles that bestow your footbed with the utmost comfort.

Sam Edelman Lora Lug Sole Loafer

The shape of these shoes simply makes them distinct from other offerings. They embrace a sharper toe form, covering your entire foot in a unique chestnut brown color.

Naturalizer Nieves Lug Loafer

You'll stop onlookers in their tracks when you slip into these platform loafers. The reflective gray outer layer gives each pair some personality, even when you have somewhere to be.

Charles & Keith Cordova Buckled Platform Loafers

Go the punk route with these white loafers. They'll never be difficult to wear with other garments, and they'll last you a long time, thanks to the thick rubber soles.

Dolce Vita Elias Flats

If you're not as daring to rock a double platform loafer, this style from Dolce Vita still has enough chunkiness – without the significant height increase – to amplify your look.

Steve Madden Lyndell Loafers

These platforms are ready to tread. Fitted with a toothy sole, they'll support every step you take, only this time, in style.

Our favorite dancing queens (Meryl Streep included) might be returning to the big screen for a third encore of Mamma Mia! and we’re already rewatching the first two movie musicals in preparation.

In an interview with Deadline in May of 2023, Mamma Mia! franchise creator and producer Judy Craymer said a third movie musical is in "earliest stages." She also shared that she has come up with a way to bring Meryl Streep back again.

"I don't want to over-egg it," she said of the unofficial news, "but I know there's a trilogy there…and I do think Meryl should come back, and if the script is right, she would, I think, because she really loved playing Donna."

"Of course I want to do it," Streep said during the 2024 Cannes Film Festival (via Deadline). Sounds promising to us!

Is Mamma Mia 3 happening?

Universal Pictures

Yes, Mamma Mia 3 is in its early planning stages! Christine Baranski just told The Hollywood Reporter that she's met with producer Judy Kramer, and that Kramer has plans for the third movie. "She gave me the narrative plotline of how it’s going to happen," Baranski says. "That’s all I can say! But, it’s not like, 'Oh, I wish it could happen!' Judy Kramer makes things happen. She made number two happen, and it was a phenomenal hit. I wouldn’t put it past Judy Kramer to get everybody back together."

Universal Pictures

A third installation was first mentioned way back in 2020, during a Collider interview with Mamma Mia! star Amanda Seyfried. Seyfried said she was on board — and at the time, she thought the rest of the star-studded cast would be too.

"Listen, every single person in that movie would say yes in a heartbeat because we want to hang out with each other," Seyfried told Collider at the time. "That's what we talked about last time, like did we ever think that we'd end up here again on an Island in Croatia?"

When will Mamma Mia 3 come out?

Universal Pictures

We don't have an official answer about when to expect this highly anticipated sequel. The project is in the "earliest stages," according to creator and producer, Judy Craymer. Cher also revealed to Entertainment Weekly that everyone is "talking about it," but she doesn't "know when they're going to do it."

Has casting information been shared about Mamma Mia 3?

Jonathan Prime/Universal Studios

While nothing's been made official, Amanda Seyfried just said something that made my heart skip a beat. She told ABC News she loves Sabrina Carpenter's music and dropped this admission: "If Sabrina Carpenter wants to play my daughter, I’ll make it happen."

But before she admitted that, the actress said something else that made me raise my eyebrows. "Everybody says it’s gonna happen, but I mean, I haven’t seen a script."

Cher is also eager to return to the beloved franchise and is rooting for Meryl to make an appearance again. "I keep saying, 'Meryl, you've got to come back,'" she said (via Entertainment Weekly). She also said she's told her, "'It'll be fun. You'll have a good time. You'll be able to sing.'"

I don't know what it'll take, but hope someone gets a script in Amanda Seyfried, Cher, and Meryl Streep's hands ASAP!

What is the first Mamma Mia about?

Universal Pictures

The first film follows Donna (Streep) and Sophie (Seyfried) as mother and daughter living on a remote Greek island. When Sophie is about to marry Sky (Dominic Cooper), she sets out to learn who her real father is after discovering it could be one of three men (played by Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgard, and Colin Firth).

Who does the second Mamma Mia follow?

Universal Pictures / NBCUniversal

Mamma Mia 2takes viewers back to 1979, where young Donna (Lily James) embarks on a series of adventures throughout Europe following her Oxford University graduation. On her journeys, she makes the acquaintances of Harry, Bill and Sam – the latter whom she falls in love with. In the present day, pregnant Sophie dreams of renovating a taverna while reuniting with her mother's old friends and boyfriends on a Greek island island.

TBH, we’re pretty happy that Mamma Mia! is far from over, and we can’t wait to see what the franchise has in store for us next. Stay updated on all the latest entertainment news with Brit + Co.

There's nothing ~normal~ about how much we love Normal People's Paul Mescal & Daisy Edgar-Jones. While it turns out we're not getting a Normal People season 2 (yet), the two actors are starring in some of 2024's biggest blockbusters (Twisters and Gladiator II, namely), and we've been soaking up their presences ever since.

Paul recently exhibited his ongoing friendship with Daisy at the Gladiator II premiere in Los Angeles. While he approached Brittany Broski on the red carpet for an interview, he recognized her from her recent 'Royal Court' interview with Daisy:

"You were with Daisy!" he chimed in excitingly. We just love this power duo!

Enda Bowe/Hulu

Daisy Edgar-Jones also revealed that she's remained incredibly close to Paul Mescal after their time on Hulu's Normal People. "Paul is one of my lifetime best friends," she says. "He’s an incredibly grounded person and I am too, I think, so it’s nice to be able to have those touchstones and those people you can laugh about it with and be lighthearted with. We met when I was 20 and Paul was 22; I’m so excited to see where we’ll be at 32, 42, and what life will bring us."

But the coolest thing is that not only is Normal People special for Paul and Daisy, but they've also been able to see the effect of the show on its fans.

"The thing I love people saying the most is, 'It made me contact my ex,'" Daisy continues. "Especially when much older people say, 'I just wanted to reach out to the person I was with when I was 17 just to say you were a big part of my history and thanks for being part of who I am, the tapestry of my life.' And that I really love, because I’m a massive romantic."

Daisy recently revealed they bonded over their training for Twisters and Gladiator II.

"I did running lessons — isn’t that crazy?" she told Variety. "Actually, Paul [Mescal] and I were laughing about it, because he was training for 'Gladiator II' and I was training for 'Twisters,' and obviously he had to be huge and I was like, 'Don’t worry, I’m going to be right up there with you.'"
