Dog Returned to Shelter for Being 'Too Good'
Some dog owners complain about their pooches being too loud or hyper, but a family in Arizona returned a dog to the shelter for being too good. 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....

Forget Route 66, This Is Actually America’s Greatest Road Trip
We’re (highway) number one! We’re (highway) number one! Route 66 has long-enshrined itself as the Gold Standard American road trip. Sure, it’s nice to have your bragging rights and know that you drove across the contiguous U.S., but really the accomplishment isn’t so much as making it across the U.S. but making it to the other side without tossing your traveling companions (or yourself) out of the car.

I Tried Amazon Prime Wardrobe and Here's What Happened

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...

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.
