Halloween is just around the corner, and we could all use a little celebration. 2020 has been pretty stressful, so don't worry if you've completely forgotten about your costume. But there's finally a fun reason to put on a mask, and we don't want you to miss out! Some people love to go all out with their costumes, employing the use of wild makeup and spooky get-ups.

Halloween costume shopping is both parts fun and daunting. Despite so many options, it seems like everything has been done before. The looks that stand the test of time and ironically never feel outdated or overdone are decade-inspired costumes.

Though a bun seems like a simple and classic hairstyle, there are actually so many versatile ways to wear it. Especially now, while we are all adding weight to our faces with the mask, a style that keeps the hair back is crucial. Plus, it works with virtually any hair texture and length (provided that it is long enough to slip into an elastic) and pairs seamlessly with the scarves and blazers of fall fashion.

A facemask is one of the easiest ways to stay in good health during this pandemic. Like our phones and purses, it is now an accessory that we see everywhere. Because it’s so visible and in-your-face (literally), it has to be considered when making style choices.

The leaves are crunching beneath our leather Stuart Weitzman booties, which can only mean one thing: Fall is finally here. Bring on the cozy sweaters and chats by the fireplace. Many consider autumn to be the elite season, and there is a lot to love.

It's happening. The air is getting crisper, the leaves darker, and the smell of pumpkin spice seems to linger outside every coffee shop we walk by. And of course, fashion shifts during the fall season, and hair always follows. In contrast to the breezy attitude of summer, fall is brisk and sharp. As we pull ourselves out of summer vacation mode, the styles begin to get more chic and fashion-forward. If you're wondering what hairstyle to go with this fall, don't worry. We've got your back. Check out five styles we are currently watching for fall 2020.

With cuffing season looming and summer departing, now is the perfect time to go on a socially-distant date. The sun is still shining, making outdoor meetups viable. But, how many romantic things can you really do outdoors? The pandemic has forced us to get a little creative with our socializing, which also applies to dating.

With Labor Day fast approaching, it’s hard not to dwell on the close of the sunshine season. Though fall begins closer towards the end of September, people consider Labor Day to be summer's unofficial end, which is why folks love to live it up on Labor Day Weekend.

As summer comes to a close, returning to school is at the forefront of everyone's minds. Much is up for debate; however, it's safe to say that many institutions will implement at least some level of virtual learning through Zoom or Google Classrooms.
