    • While it's safe to say that the Prince Harry and Meghan Markle frenzy has been on full blast since their relationship went public last year, the pair is now giving royal fans further reason to obsess. From announcing their pregnancy to continuing to showcase their covetable PDA, our infatuation with the loved-up couple has reached new heights. And, even with a royal baby on the way, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have shown no signs of slowing down, as evidenced by their current 16-day official visit to Australia, Fiji, Tonga, and New Zealand and attendance at the Invictus Games—the annual international sporting event for wounded military personnel and veterans that Prince Harry founded back in 2014. In honor of the expecting parents' jam-packed trip down under, we compiled Meghan and Harry's most fangirl-worthy photos over the course of their 16-day trip. From hand-holding to umbrella-holding, brace yourselves for an adorable overload. Plus, you'll get a sneak peek of the future royal mother's maternity style, which is unsurprisingly chic. So, without further ado, prepare for 22 heart-melting, ovary-exploding photos of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex during their overseas visit.

  • Mere moments after Prince Charles was born, he was whisked away to be viewed by the royal courtiers who had served his grandfather, King George VI (Elizabeth's II's father). This was no ordinary newborn: this was Britain's next king. Unlike Queen Elizabeth II, who did not become heir to the throne until she was ten (that was when her uncle, Prince Edward VIII, abdicated, changing the line of succession forever), Charles was immediately under the public's intense gaze, with Elizabeth's mothering under intense scrutiny. Here's why Queen Elizabeth isn't planning on abdicating the throne.

A good boy named Binx was taken back to the Arizona Animal Welfare League and SPCA because the people who adopted him claimed he was too perfect. Within 48 hours, Binx was back at the shelter with a note that said he is potty trained, good with kids, fun to play with but just not enough of a challenge....

  • If you have even a tiny bit of hoarder in you, you likely find it really hard to part with the piles and piles of clothes, shoes, and accessories hiding in your closet. Some reasons are legit and are bound up in the fears and insecurities about what it means to give up something that you used to identify so strongly with. Other reasons are just crazy, because, no — despite Justin Bobby (all hail the return of The Hills) making them look oh so good, baggy hipster beanies are never coming back in style. Of course, for those of you for whom some of these items are still integral to your wardrobe, we salute you (after all, there's nothing more stylish than a woman who loves and owns her style). But for the rest of you, we're about to make things really, really easy. We ID'd 12 items that almost all of us probably own, but most haven't (or shouldn't have) worn in ages, and will not want to wear again — donate these space wasters, reclaim your closet, and rest happy knowing that you couldn't accidentally dress like an extra on Laguna Beach, even if you tried. At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team.

  • It might seem impossible to find vaulted ceilings and chandeliers in a NYC subway stop. But that wasn't the case in 1904, when this Rafael Guastavino-designed station opened directly below City Hall. Unfortunately, commuters chose speed over style, so the stop closed in 1940, as the Brooklyn Bridge station grew. Today, Transit Museum members can tour the station, and some passengers might get a lucky viewing: Take the downtown 6 at Brooklyn Bridge and try to catch a glimpse as the train moves past the underground gem before switching to uptown.

    19 Unconventional Spin-Offs of the Iconic Tan Trench

    Ah, the iconic neutral hued trench. It’s a staple—an outerwear classic that transcends seasonality, seamlessly transitioning from month to month as the rest of our wardrobes changes. Even more incredible: Despite its timelessness, the trench coat always manages to look modern, fresh and totally on trend. MORE: Cutting-Edge Ways to Style a Muted Autumn Wardrobe Tan trenches are so versatile we could practically live in them. But sometimes, we crave something different. Sometimes, we want to inject a little flair into an otherwise routine outerwear selection. Sometimes, we wish our go-to trench came in a variety of colors, textures and silhouettes—rather than just the one. Whenever this desire arises in us, we turn to our favorite designers and retailers—crossing our fingers that they’ve offered unconventional spins on tried-and-true outerwear basics. And this season, they definitely have. So if you’re looking to add some flavor to the standard trench template, there are plenty of revamped spin-offs to shop. MORE: How to Take Your Favorite Jumpsuit from Season to Season Now, we’re certainly not advocating for abandoning the flagship neutral toned trench altogether. (We’d never!) But these reimagined descendents of the classic design offer the same wearability, with just a touch of unconventionality. From luxe satin fabrics in of-the-moment colorways to patent designs and embossed textures, these trench coats give the quintessential staple a contemporary makeover. This is e-commerce content.

  • Here's Why We Celebrate Halloween

    The history of Halloween goes all the way back to a pagan festival called Samhain. The word "Halloween" comes from"All Hallows' Eve" and means "hallowed evening." Hundreds of years ago, people dressed up as saints and went door to door, which is the origin of Halloween costumes and trick-or-treating. Although it's fun to dress in disguise and collect treats, there's much more to Halloween than many realize. The history of the holiday goes back...

Keep (and pay for) only what you like, send back what you don't. Sounds appealing, right? I thought so, but it turns out the service isn't without its drawbacks. Here's what I found out during my first time using Prime Wardrobe.

Being frugal is important to a lot of people, but that doesn't just mean that you should shop around for the lowest price on everything you purchase - it also means splurging on things that are going to improve your quality of life and end up lasting you long enough that you don't end up replacing it months later.

  • Being able to actually see furniture and wall art in a space before bringing them home from the store or hitting "confirm order" online would save so much time. Though some stores have cool gadgets to make it a bit easier for you (like Walmart's shop the room tool), nothing's foolproof. So being able to bring things back and/or exchange them for something else is absolutely necessary. Thankfully, most of your favorite home stores have some flexible return policies. To pull one out of the bunch, IKEA's is quite simply a dream...and Target's isn't half bad either. Needless to say, you don't have to worry so much the next time you bring home a rug that's too small for your room or a chair that looks too bulky next to your fiddle leaf fig tree. Save yourself the headache and pin the below for your future reference.

  • 'The most common question I get is some variation on 'am I normal?'' says Cyndi Darnell, a sex and relationship therapist based in New York City. 'Sex is under-taught, so most of us gleaned what we know from well-meaning friends and pop culture. As a result, we're left to fill in the blanks ourselves and can feel isolated. People feel afraid to ask for help or worse still, do not know who to ask!' Darnell wants to reassure you: Whether a person is wondering about their biology (e.g. the size, shape, placement, scent, etc. of body parts), their sexual abilities, or the kinds of activities they enjoy, 'someone else out there has had the exact same feeling.' Sex therapist Megan Fleming, PhD wholeheartedly agrees and adds, 'There is such a range of sexual interests and behaviors that no matter how 'strange' or uncommon, they are 'normal' as long as it's consensual and pleasurable for both partners.'

Options like cork, bamboo, reclaimed wood and engineered wood are proving to be popular choices. Cork, for instance, is non-toxic and taken from the bark of the cork oak tree. 'These trees grow along the border of the Mediterranean Sea and can regenerate after every harvest. In fact, cork trees can live up to two centuries,' say the experts from Floor Critics. 'The first harvest takes place when the tree is approximately 20 years old. Subsequent bark removal occurs every 9 years—up to 15 times per lifetime. Farmers take great care not to damage the tree by using a specially designed hatchet to strip the bark without disturbing the inner layer.'We'll show you everything you need to install a cork floor.

  • Our culture is constantly encouraging contact — a packed social life, a busy work life, joining clubs and groups for your résumé… It seems like being extremely busy has become aspirational, something that’s applauded rather than looked at with skepticism. But there are some things about this mindset that can be harmful.When you’re so overcommitted you hardly have time to get enough sleep (which is also super-important for your health), you rarely get to spend any time alone. We mean, like, really alone — without checking your email, without being on an instant messaging system, and without sharing everything on social media.With all the focus on prioritizing busy-ness and achievement, the similarly important benefits to spending time alone get thrown to the wayside. While too much solitude can make you go crazy, too little solitude may actually do the same.There’s a reason great authors and artists have dedicated days — sometimes months — of their lives to complete solitude. Mozart, Kafka, Picasso. All these wildly different artists had one thing in common: They made a point to spend time working on their projects alone. They were probably on to something. Here are some unexpected, but very real, benefits of spending time alone.

    Florals for Fall? Actually Groundbreaking

    In one particularly iconic The Devil Wears Prada scene, Meryl Streep—as renowned (and fictional) editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly—berates a staff member for suggesting a fashion story about spring florals. “Florals? For spring?” Priestly asks with incredulity, before delivering her sarcastic kicker: “Groundbreaking.” Spring, with all its April showers and May flowers, is (of course) an inherently floral season. It’s pervaded by vibrant pastels, fresh energy and literal plant blooms. Naturally, the fashion set has drawn inspiration from the season time and time again, leaving the rest of us with a diverse array of floral dresses we shelve until spring makes its annual appearance. But this season, our favorite designers have branched into legitimately groundbreaking territory: They’ve tried to make fall florals happen. MORE: Cutting-Edge Ways to Style a Muted Autumn Wardrobe Just as the phrase “spring florals” sounds like a given, “fall florals” sounds like an oxymoron. Fall is about muted colors, chunky knits and clunky footwear. And we’ve long accepted that dainty, colorful florals belong nowhere in that sartorial scene. But this year, they do. MSGM, Valentino, Zimmermann and a handful of others have redefined the floral print—rendering it in a darker, more haunted autumnal palette that would take any peasant dress from “dreamy afternoon at the park” to “blustery morning in New York City.” The floral pieces they’ve created feel distinctly cold-weather appropriate—worthy of pairing with heavy layers, heavier outerwear and even heavier shoes. It’s like floral prints have been given new life—or more grounded, perhaps. They feel edgy, sophisticated and surprisingly cozy all at once. MORE: 17 Faux Fur Jackets That Aren’t Too Over the Top to Wear Daily It’s possible this sounds crazy to you—more like a nightmare than a dream. But as someone who resents the practice of seasonally retiring clothing, I’m very on board with this sudden shift. And I’d wager you will be, too—once you actually see the fall florals I’m talking about. Ahead, 31 ways to shop (or at the very least, browse) fall’s most surprising trend. Dive in—groundbreaking fashion awaits.
