5 Cool Ways to Upgrade Your Ponytail, According to Pinterest

​Fall 2024 Haircuts

This season, the French Bob — popularized by celebrities like Winona Ryder in the ‘90s — makes a stylish return with a chic, sophisticated edge. The Lob, a favorite of Julia Roberts, continues to bridge classic and contemporary with its timeless appeal. Salma Hayek’s daring Pixie cut and baby bangs from this era are also back, bringing a bold, youthful vibe. The Shag, reminiscent of the rock-and-roll spirit seen in the '90s, and “The Rachel Haircut,” which initially debuted during Saturn’s transit in 1995, are making notable comebacks. Let’s dive deep and look at the haircuts making their mark this fall.

French Bob

Channeling the chic and playful vibes of the '90s with a sophisticated edge. Wearing this flirty cut with your favorite barrette (butterfly clip) can go a long way from work to events.

Lob

The long bob (AKA Lob) remains a timeless favorite, bridging the gap between classic and contemporary. This low-maintenance cut is perfect for busy moms or those who want to give bobs a chance without commitment.

Micro Fringe

Bringing a bold, youthful touch reminiscent of the era’s daring looks. These bangs are risqué, yet you can wear them proudly with the right attitude and pomade.

The Shag (AKA The Wolf Cut)

Embracing the layered, textured appeal of the 90s with a blend of rock-and-roll and romance. This haircut is ideal for those with natural waves that need a boost. Use a diffuser and leave-in product for the best results.

The Rachel Revival Haircut

I’m calling this “The Rachel Revival Haircut.” It's a mature take on the iconic Rachel, adding a polished twist to a classic favorite. The trendsetter Aquarius, Jennifer Aniston, reawakened this timeless haircut earlier in 2024, and it's definitely making an official comeback this fall! Fun fact: this original haircut was debuted by Aniston when Saturn was in Pisces on Friends in April 1995.

Long Layered Haircut

This haircut balances nostalgia with modern elegance, offering a versatile and timeless choice. Long hair has been an American girl’s staple, but tresses must be healthy and well-maintained. Schedule routine haircuts with your stylist to ensure health and longevity for your locks. Also, invest in a hair treatment mask and use it every other week.

​Fall 2024 Hairstyles

The hairstyles for fall 2024 are a vibrant nod to the '90s, as well, channeling the duality of grunge and romance, reflecting iconic trends sported by celebrities of the time. Drew Barrymore embodied the carefree spirit of textured waves, while Pamela Anderson brought Hollywood glamour to the forefront with her voluminous updos. Kate Moss personified the bedhead grunge look with effortless style. These timeless hairstyles are set to make a striking comeback this fall, blending '90s nostalgia with modern flair.

Textured Waves

Loose, tousled waves that evoke the carefree spirit of the 90s grunge scene. The secret to working an effortless look is to use a salt spray.

Sleek Half-Updo (With Gel)

The Pamela Updo

Voluminous and glamorous, reminiscent of the 90s Hollywood glamour that combines practicality with retro chic. From the office to a fall gala, this hairstyle will turn heads.

Sleek Single Braid

This minimalist and refined style echoes the decade’s sleek and structured trends. Apply a hair serum to dry hair to give it a glossy finish.

Bedhead Grunge

To achieve this look, embrace the effortlessly undone aesthetic that defined '90s grunge. Use a pliable leave-in product and apply it to towel-dried hair. Twist random locks and allow them to air dry.

​Fall 2024 Brunette Trends

Fall 2024’s color palette embraces deep, rich browns, echoing the earthy tones popular during the early '90s under Saturn in Pisces. This revival mirrors the iconic brunette looks of that era, including Winona Ryder’s natural elegance in Reality Bites, Julia Roberts’ striking deep brown in The Pelican Brief, and Salma Hayek’s dramatic espresso in Desperado. These shades — rich brown with baby lights and bold espresso — capture the sophisticated essence of fall 2024’s color trend. Let’s explore the range of brunettes that can capture your essence this season — and don’t forget to use a color-safe shampoo and conditioner to preserve your new color!

Rich Brown with Babylights

A look that holds onto the memories of summer while transitioning into autumn. It is a warm and multi-dimensional color that includes highlights for dimension.

Truffle Brown

This look will channel Emily in Paris vibes. It's a classic, tasteful, and yet low-maintenance color that will keep you on your A-game this fall.

Chestnut

A classic, warm brown with a natural shine. This is the perfect color for those who like to rock a shade that emanates intoxicating shades of red, gold, and copper.

Espresso Brown

This is your go-to shade for an alluring yet endearing tone. It is deep and dramatic, offering a bold contrast.

Ebony

An ultra-dark hue that brings a sense of mystery and depth.

Grazie Mille Plate

Even if I had to forgo any European travel this summer, I can still entertain like I'm on the Amalfi Coast. These classic Italian word plates made in new bone china were designed by Sydney-based artist Daimon Downey and are dishwasher, microwave and food safe, with a small rim to keep sauces from spilling. Bella!

Misette Jardin Stripe Linen Napkins, Set of 4

Along the theme of outdoor entertaining, these scalloped linen napkins are so sweet and charming and way better than disposable ones. I want them in all the colors!

The Typeset Co. Magnetic Letters, 200 pcs

Fun for kids and adults, I want these 1-inch magnets for my fridge to share silly messages with my daughter.

Winter's Moon Japanese Storage Box

Storage is not the most exciting thing to have to buy, but it's so essential so you might as well add a splash of color. These boxes, designed in Denmark and made in Japan, are made of a better quality plastic, built to have a long life, is food safe, touch and scratch resistant, and mould and sun resistant.

Swell Wall Catchall

This wave-shaped piece by Anna Dawson is perfect for an entryway and is both functional and a work of art.

UO Mono Portable Lamp

We have a couple portable lamps at home and I love them for reading or bringing outside. This sleek table lamp with a bubblegum-shaped shade rotates to illuminate every angle, and is rechargeable via USB.

Spoonflower Floral Checkerboard Wallpaper

Love the idea of this removable wallpaper with a retro vibe, designed by Michelle Parascandolo, as an accent wall in my daughter's room too. Instant happy!

Society of Wanderers Striped Sheets

Pinterest is very aware that I am into stripes right now. These 100% French Flax linen sheets become softer over time and require no ironing, win-win!

Etsy Scalloped Stripy Matchstick Pot

These scalloped match stick holders would be so cute as wedding favors or gifts or just sprinkled around the home. They've been hand-cast using white marble Jesmonite, creating a luxe sparkly effect.

Strawberry Chamomile Naked Cake Recipe

I'm growing strawberries in my garden for the first time this summer so we'll see if they are up for the task of gracing this adorable cake from Half Baked Harvest come August (my birthday month!).

Le Bon Shoppe Boyfriend Socks

I've been playing around with calf-length socks recently and I adore this brand, and these colors!

Mille Francoise Skirt in Monaco Stripe

I tried on a skirt similar to this and still regret not getting it. I love the Mille brand, such good quality, and this cotton skirt is a perfect summer staple.

Thomas Fuchs Melamine Plates

Back to outdoor parties! These handmade melamine plates are dishwasher safe and make a colorful statement on your indoor or outdoor table.

Glass Tealight Lanterns

Another addition to my outdoor space are these modern tea light lanterns – will be buying as soon as I finish this article.;)

Anthropologie Sandira Waffle Dishcloths, Set of 6

Call me strange, but I have a fetish for fancy dish towels, cloth napkins, and washcloths. They're sort of an affordable luxury, right? These Sandira Waffle dishcloths are made in a waffle-textured fabric and the pom-poms are the cutest!

Magill Tres Bien Sweatshirt

I'll be watching plenty of the Olympic Games in Paris this summer so why not represent with this "very good" crewneck sweatshirt in vintage ivory.

Etsy 6-Inch House Numbers

House numbers can make such a difference in your curb appeal for a minimal cost. I love these red and Deco-inspired numbers, so unique!

Otto Tile Blue Marine Stripes Zellige

These Moroccan handmade zellige tile are perfect for walls, floors, indoors and outdoors. I've been looking to someday tile my stair risers for a creative twist (plus, the white paint constantly gets dirty). These are on my list!

1. Is it just me, or is it totally wild to mention 9/11 at the very beginning of a Christmas movie?!

I understand this came out in 2003, so it's not too far removed from 9/11, but there's something off about bringing that up at the start. The message is sweet — people reached out to those they loved on that terrible day — but it's also incredibly sad. I'm not saying every moment of a holiday movie needs to be happy, but goodness gracious this is a depressing way to set the tone.

2. Why is Jamie's girlfriend wearing a turtle neck in bed?

Oh...oh, that's why. I mean she had to think that would be a dead giveaway that she didn't plan on resting during her "cold." I've never once put on real clothes when I was sick — I'm in pajamas 24/7! Although, I guess she also didn't plan on wearing much of anything later on...regardless, weird choices all around.

3. Who would honestly think it's a good idea to call a total stranger their "future wife" out of nowhere?

Listen, I get that Colin Frissel is supposed to be the erratic, kooky character who just wants to find love here, but I really don't understand his tactics. Instead of actually trying to get to know any of these women, he fires off these wild comments without a second thought. And then he has the audacity to say that British women are too stuck up to like him? Sorry, dude, but maybe you're just too inconsiderate and unaware to pull any British women — and most women in general.

4. Could Keira Knightley be any more beautiful?!

Okay, I know this isn't a plot point or anything, but holy moly! She looks truly angelic when she walks in for the wedding. No wonder Mark is head over heels for her!

5. Does it feel like people are dressed awfully casually for a wedding? (I'm looking at you, Sarah)

Maybe 2003 was a more casual time, maybe daytime British weddings are super chill. I'm not sure what the reason would be, but I couldn't get past how casually dressed the wedding guests were for Juliet and Peter's wedding. Sarah's hat alone was enough to throw me off, TBH.

6. Wait, was this one of the first flash mobs? I'm not even kidding.

I actually had to Google this, but apparently flash mobs did really get started in 2003. So while Mark's surprise for Juliet and Peter isn't the first, it's certainly on-theme for the time!

7. Did he actually just put that food he ate BACK on the tray?

This is genuinely a germaphobe's nightmare — it's me, i'm the germaphobe. Seriously, though, Colin has got to work on his manners if he really wants to find someone to date him. I'm very confused how he thinks this behavior would attract anyone.

8. Have Liam Neeson's eyes always been this blue?

Again, not a plot point, but very distracting. I mean those babies are bright!

9. What is Professor Snape doing here?!

I kid, I kid. But seriously, his voice takes me back to Harry Potter immediately.

10. How is it okay for Harry to ask Sarah about her love life — and royally interject in it like that — as her boss?

Don't get me wrong, I know people make friendships outside of work and talk frankly with their coworkers. But suggesting she tell Karl she wants "lots of sex and babies" with him? Yeah, that's definitely HR-report worthy in any workplace literally ever. Rein it in, Harry.

11. Are they allowed to say whatever they want on British radios?

Speaking of just saying inappropriate things at relatively inappropriate times, Billy — and the hosts for that matter — really are pretty crass! I'm not a prude by any means (ask my friends), but I was shocked at what they said on live air. I guess it keeps things interesting?

12. WHO flirts with their boss so blatantly like that?

Mia, most simply put, is BOLD AF. She openly flirts with Harry in the office, literally spreads her legs in front of him at her desk, and asks to dance during a slow song at their company holiday party while his wife is literally right there. I wanna know her backstory because these are wild choices. She doesn't even try to be secretive!

13. Why don't Karen and Daniel end up together? They seem to share the most real, authentic love.

Honestly, I love platonic love, so I don't wanna take that away from them. However, there is a part of me that things Karen and Daniel could be the best couple. They seem to truly get each other in a way most of the other actual couples don't. But I guess that's on the purity of friendship?

14. At what point are we supposed to care about Billy?

This singer just really seems like a jerk, and he truly isn't compelling in the least. (And this is coming from someone who loves Bill Nighy!)

15. Oh my god, did they actually just say what I think they did about those dolls?

Needless to say, we would never get a line like this today. I'll leave it at that.

16. Would Jamie's book actually be salvageable at all after flying into the lake?

I need someone who used typewriters a lot to tell me how durable those typed pages would actually be. Would the water totally ruin the ink? Wouldn't the pages stick together irreparably after you took them out of the water? Literally what is he gonna do to finish this thriller? As a fellow writer, I'm stressed on his behalf.

17. Why didn't Mark just tell Juliet he was filming these shots as a gift for his best friend?

Boom, problem solved. Instead, he acted like such a weirdo and made it so clear he was in love with her.

18. Did Mark actually tell Juliet just to show herself out of his apartment?

As if he couldn't make it weirder...

19. I'm not trying to be rude, but how is Harry hot enough for Mia to be throwing herself at him like this?!

Who you find attractive is so subjective, but to risk your job and someone's marriage for Professor Snape? Maybe it's his power, maybe it's his elusive (very clearly Scorpio) nature. Whatever it is, I'm just not seeing it. Sorry girly!

20. How many times will Laura Linney play a woman with a brother named Ben in the midst of a mental health crisis?

Ozark, anyone?

21. What happens AFTER Juliet kisses Mark?!

I seriously don't know how they move forward normally after this confession and subsequent kiss. First of all, the confession was totally unfair to Peter. How is Mark gonna hold this in all this time, only to blow it all up after they're already married? And then for Juliet to kiss him? Is she giving him a false hope? Does she really like him? Do they keep this a secret? Is this all they need? Honestly, this left me with more questions than answers.

22. Is Billy trying to come out? Or is he saying he platonically loves his manager?

I'm honestly so confused. He called Frank the love of his life, and I just can't tell. (Especially after that awkward hug?)

23. Isn't it a little wild for Jamie to ask Aurelia to marry him? Couldn't they just date first?

I am definitely not blaming him for his girlfriend cheating on him, but I'm sure that level of quick intensity landed him here to begin with. Like come on dude, maybe get to know a girl first! (Still, these two are very sweet — one of the actually compelling couples in this story!)

24. Is that Denise Richards?!

At least her jacket's on correctly here... 😂

25. Why is this movie so SAD?

While I loved seeing Sam and Joanna, John and Just Judy, and the Prime Minister and Natalie find their happy ending, for a Christmas movie, there's ultimately not a lot of happy holiday spirit here... Maybe it's just me, but it feels like a total bummer for most of the movie! BRB while I pop on The Holidayinstead.
