We Stopped Using Credit Cards, and It's Not as Easy as You'd Think
In the United States, it is reported that the average family has over $8,000 in credit card debt. That's over $1 trillion, and that number is steadily climbing. Credit cards have become a way of life for many people; some rely on them for emergencies and various unexpected expenses, while others use them to buy things that they just can't afford. Still others default to credit cards in hopes of racking up sky miles or other enticing rewards.
That's the trap into which we fell.
My husband and I each have a credit card through a bank with a generous rewards program. The points pile up quickly, and the amount of points needed for various rewards is reasonable. So we figured we might as well use the cards, especially for large purchases, and pay them off in full each month. And that worked. For a while. The problem was, we would lose track of just how much we charged each month. And instead of the $500 bill we were expecting, there would be an $800 bill. Eventually, all of the money we hadn't expected to spend - all of the money we couldn't see - had added up into the thousands. So whatever rewards the credit card company was giving us, it was making back (and then some) in interest.
It became obvious that this method wasn't working for us, as we were clearly the losers here. We decided to pay them off and stop using them altogether. It wasn't easy, but we haven't looked back since. Here are five things I learned along the way that may help if you're also considering breaking up with your plastic.

This Canadian Wedding Is Equal Parts Understated Elegance and Outrageous Fun
Don't let the sparkling lake and lush orchard setting fool you - Annie and John's wedding may look like a stunningly simple outdoor big day, but the details perfectly capture the quirky-fun nature of the Mr. and Mrs. After all, we're talking about a couple who for Valentine's Day dressed up in formalwear (fascinator and top hat included) and went on a progressive dinner to all the hot fast-food joints in town. John even included a photoshopped still from The Bachelor in his proposal. So, naturally, their wedding would include full-size cardboard cutouts of themselves in extravagant '80s weddingwear, a ginormous candy bar complete with their most embarrassing childhood photos blown up on sticks, and a postceremony, prereception pit stop at A&W.
Besides the fun factor, the wedding was really a family (and friends) affair. Not only did the ceremony take place at a family member's private residence in Kelowna, British Columbia, but Annie's mom, Cecelia, and aunt, Julie, did a lot of the planning, with Annie's dad coming in at crunch time with the week-of to-do lists. Loved ones all came together in every way they could to make the day what it was, and it was clear that Annie and John's supportive community was a focus for them in their day. In fact, I love what they used as their guiding "theme" (inspired by The Broke-Ass Bride's Wedding Guide by Dana LaRue):
- Treat our guests as community and not an audience.
- Let our wedding tell our story (past, present, future).
- Create an atmosphere - so people remember they had fun.
- Fun is free.
- We want lots of laughter.
- Short speeches - more social.
- "Go big or go home" - decide what we can do well (within our budget).
So how did they pull it off? To start, they kept the speeches to a minimum by including as much information as they could in their program. The personalized, 12-page, photo-filled program included the order of ceremony, who was in the wedding party, fun facts about the couple, a list of out-of-town guests, a long list of thank yous, and special thank-you letters to their parents. To keep their sanity on the day of, Annie and John had their own private dinner at A&W, which they called their "best decision ever." They had 20 minutes to themselves (which on most people's wedding day is unheard of), where they could fuel up before spending the entire time at the reception mingling and socializing with their guests instead of stuck at a table. They were able to stick to their budget by enlisting the help of friends and family and by focusing on their top priorities: the candy buffet and the photos. Their main "decor" were the printed fatheads, posters, signs, and cardboard cutouts at the reception, which could all be used as props in the photo booth. Double duty!
Now what are you waiting for? Check out the beautiful photos captured by Luke Liable now and see the full list of vendors here.

Suspiria Hasn't Even Been Released Yet, but the Chances of a Sequel Are Very High
Excitement is already ramping up in earnest for one of the Fall's most unsettling movies, Suspiria. The remake of the iconic 1977 film already has a lot going for it: so far, we've borne witness to an unsettling mélange of photos, more than one creepy trailer, and even a vague promise of a postcredits scene. But among all the gripping details pertaining to the new spine-chiller, one is particularly exciting: this may only be the first of three installments.
In a recent interview with Deadline, director Luca Guadagnino explained that he already had planned on making a sequel. In fact, the original title of the remake would've hinted at exactly that. Originally, Guadagnino was planning on using Suspiria: Part One as the name. After all, the original was part of a series as well. The former project was called "The Three Mothers" trilogy, which also includes 1980's Inferno and 2007's The Mother of Tears. Ultimately, the director lopped off the "Part One" for a pretty understandable reason. "We didn't want to give the impression of something that couldn't stand alone," he said.
All things considered, it sounds like the trilogy has been the plan all along. The fact that the remake was nearly called Suspiria: Part One means that Guadagnino not only envisioned his updated take as a series, but perhaps even discussed it with Amazon. But don't take it from us! "Truthfully, I'd be interested to explore the origin of Madame Blanc and Helena Markos and also the future of Suzy Bannion in the world. So maybe," Guadagnino told Deadline. "We'll have to see how the movie goes." Suspiria hits theaters Oct. 26.

Meghan Markle's Power Suit Is All Kinds of Sexy and Sophisticated
Meghan Markle pushed pause on Suits when she joined the Royal family, but she's back to her regularly scheduled programming as far as fashion is concerned, turning heads on Tuesday in an Altuzarra blazer. Following her appearance at last week's Hamilton fundraiser, Meghan joined Prince Harry for the WellChild Awards in a look that's right up her alley.
She skipped the dress, opting instead for slim trousers and a Deitas silk tank to complement her chic suiting. True to form, she kept her hair in a low, nonchalant bun, and added a Stella McCartney clutch and black pumps to finish things off. Suffice it to say, Meghan just aced another royal outing in a style that feels entirely her own.
This $23 Cardigan Is Going Viral on Amazon
When something is getting traction on Amazon, you need to pay attention. That's why our jaws dropped when we saw that this Nenona V-Neck Button-Down Cardigan Sweater ($23) is up 2,661 percent in sales.
Customers are giving the cardigan overwhelmingly positive reviews. The cute snap buttons and thick material make it an excellent purchase. Plus, it comes in 16 different colors: black, red, blue, green, gray, brown, and purple.
"It's not often that I find clothes on Amazon that I love, but I love this cardigan!" one customer wrote. "I wear it with flats, I wear it with my brown tall boots, I even wear it with my work slacks. It is a nice quality, not super thin like I've gotten before, and nice thicker banding on the arms and bottom."
This sweater is the perfect Fall piece; it's incredibly versatile and will keep you cozy. We suggest buying it while you can - with so much popularity it's bound to sell out in the blink of an eye.

Hello, Fall! Meet the Highest-Rated Leather Jacket at Nordstrom
I love leather jackets. They're so versatile; you can wear them seamlessly with jeans and a t-shirt or a flirty dress, they keep you warm, and they always look good. Always. This season, I'm in the market for a new jacket, and I'm kind of obsessed with this AllSaints Balfern Leather Biker Jacket ($498). The brand is known for its supersoft, comfortable leather. Plus, I can't get enough of the zippered sleeves or faux belt detail.
I think it's the perfect mix of tough and fashionable, and evidently, other customers agree, as it's the top-rated leather jacket at Nordstrom. One of the many rave reviewers says, "I have had it for 2 years and it still looks amazing, will last me for years! It's super soft and all around perfect. Worth the splurge!" And if you need one more push, a fellow editor, Stephanie Nguyen, let me know she also has this jacket and absolutely loves it. With this many glowing recommendations, I can't think of a reason not to pick it up.
No matter the weather or occasion, a leather jacket is always appropriate. This silhouette is a classic; treat it right and you'll have it for a long time, just as these reviews say. Your closet will thank you. Just be prepared to have everyone stop you to ask where you got your perfect leather jacket.

We Can See Why This Is the Bestselling Lunchbox on Amazon
Getting your kids excited about school lunch can be tough, to say the least. But, we found the product that will bring a smile to your child's face come mealtime, and help spark your creativity along the way. The Bentgo Childrens Lunch Box ($28) is so adorable, it's no surprise that this is the bestselling lunchbox on Amazon.

Plus, leak-proof technology keeps lunches mess-free.
The other amazing thing about this lunchbox is that it's made of BPA-free materials, and a portion of all proceeds go to Feed the Children, a nonprofit that focuses on addressing and alleviating childhood hunger. The tray is microwave-safe, and the entire lunchbox can be thrown in the dishwasher. This lunchbox is so functional and adorable, you'll want an extra for yourself to keep your own lunches organized and healthy.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Make Another Equally Gorgeous Appearance at the WellChild Awards
Summer is over and it's back to work for the British royal family! After making an appearance at a performance of Hamilton last week, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continued to support the work of good causes as they attended the WellChild Awards in London on Tuesday. Meghan glowed in an all-black ensemble, while Harry looked handsome in a blue suit.
Harry is patron of the children's charity and has been attending events on their behalf over the last few years. At last year's awards, we saw him bond with the incredible children nominated for awards for bravery and courage, and the only difference this year was that he brought his new wife along for the ride.

We Tried Ariana Grande's Date-Night Cat Eye, and It Gave Us Wings
Ariana Grande and I might be the same age, but we don't have a lot in common. I can't sing if my life depended on it, have infinitely less money to my name, and will only wear a ponytail as a last resort. But one thing we do share is our love for a good cat eye - I even wrote about my winged-liner addiction here.
So I was excited to try out her most recent date-night look for my weekly Instagram series, Desktop Beauty. Grande was spotted out with fiancé Pete Davidson wearing a bold wing, burgundy lipstick, and space buns. I attempted to re-create her look with a few of my favorite products (minus the space buns). See how I did ahead, and be sure to follow POPSUGAR Beauty on Instagram for more celebrity-inspired looks.

This Is What You Should Be Eating at Each Meal to Lose Weight
A big part of eating well to lose weight is planning out your meals. Once you have an idea of what you will be eating at each meal, it's much easier to stay on track and resist temptation that will veer you off your healthy eating goals.
But if planning out each meal in advance sounds overwhelming, don't stress: registered dietitian Bari Stricoff told POPSUGAR what you should be eating at every meal to keep you blood sugar stable and help you lose weight. It's a simple formula, and you can use it to mix-and-match your favorite foods for a complete meal.
"When it comes to blood sugar regulation, the quality of meals compared to the number of meals is more important," she said. "Ensuring your meals have high-quality protein, plus whole grain carbohydrates [and] healthy fats will have positive effects on blood sugar."
So if you're craving avocado toast, make sure it's on 100 percent whole wheat bread and paired with an egg or smoked salmon for some protein. Instead of just a piece of fruit for a snack, eat it with a handful of nuts for a boost of protein and fat.
She also said fiber, which is found in whole grain carbohydrates, fruits, and vegetables, is important to help slow the release of sugar in the blood. If you combine the fiber with protein and fats, it also helps delay the release of sugar in the blood. When your blood sugar is regulated, you are less likely to store fat. Plus, you will feel satiated and won't be tempted to snack between meals.
Of course, eating in a calorie deficit is key to losing weight. But whether you eat five small meals a day or three larger meals a day, as long as they contain high-quality protein, whole grain carbohydrates or another fiber-rich food, and healthy fats, your blood sugar will be stable. This will keep you on track and help keep your weight down.

50+ Photos That Show the Outpouring of Love at Princess Diana's Public Funeral
When Princess Diana was tragically killed in a car crash in August 1997, it seemed as though the world was mourning just as deeply as her own family. Diana, dubbed "The People's Princess," made an indelible mark on those in the UK as well as around the globe; her funeral, which was held on Sept. 6, was watched or listened to by an estimated 2.5 billion people worldwide - making it one of the most watched events in history. In London, a crowd of nearly one million people gathered to trace Diana's coffin from Kensington Palace to Westminster Abbey to her final resting place at the Spencer family's home in Althorp.
Diana's sons, Harry and William, followed their mother's coffin alongside their father, Prince Charles, and their uncle Charles, the Earl Spencer. The visibly moved onlookers blanketed the streets with heartfelt notes, bouquets, and teddy bears, and flower petals rained down from bystanders along the procession route. People also gathered in Hyde Park, where the ceremony was being aired on a giant screen, while celebrities like Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Hillary Clinton, and Elton John attended the official ceremony inside Westminster Abbey. We're looking back on the outpouring of love from the public at Diana's funeral. Scroll through to see all the tearjerking photos.

Is this a clue that the upcoming season will be a little bit lighter? The show's creator Dan Fogelman did say that the first episode of season three would be a bit more joyful.

I Was in an Emotionally Abusive Relationship, and I Didn't Even Realize It
At 23 years old, I fell fast and hard for an outgoing, charismatic man. When we began dating, he made me feel special, beautiful, and loved. I decided that any negative aspect of our relationship didn't matter because he loved me so much - there was a reasonable explanation for all of it. So when he proposed to me after almost a year of dating, I was overjoyed. I found a guy who wanted to commit his life to me. We were going to build a future together.
Six months into our engagement, that image of our life crumbled to pieces. My fiancé decided that he didn't want to marry me anymore, and it felt like a tragedy. I dreaded telling my friends and family; I was devastated. But their reactions to my news were not what I expected at all. One friend broke into tears. Another told me she was proud of me. My family felt guilty that they had let the relationship progress as much as it did.
They were relieved that my engagement to this man was over. Everyone had been scared for me, and I didn't get why. I was confused.
Everyone had been scared for me, and I didn't get why. I was confused.
This was the worst thing that had ever happened to me, wasn't it? But then, loved ones started telling me of times when they wish they had said something to me. Times when my fiancé would put me down or yell at me in public. And as more people stepped forward and told me that ending this relationship was a good thing (including this guy's own close friends), I came to a horrifying realization.
I was emotionally abused, and I could not admit to myself that it was happening at the time.
There were glimmers of problems from the beginning of our relationship, but I made the choice to ignore them. He would say little things to me or shout for a moment, but I brushed it off. It didn't become bad until we moved in together a month after our engagement.
My friends only saw what was happening in front of them, but behind closed doors it was even worse.
The first memory I have of definitive emotional abuse was an evening just a week or two after we moved into our apartment. We were sitting at the bar below our place having a drink when I noticed that he was getting Snapchats from a girl he nicknamed Kate Upton in his phone. I had mentioned to him once before that this made me uncomfortable, so when I saw that she had popped up once again, I questioned him about it. And he became furious with me.
He immediately stomped up the stairs to our apartment, and I quickly followed behind. He was livid. He told me I was ridiculous and jealous for questioning if he would be inappropriately interacting with another girl. And I felt terrible that I would ever question him - we were getting married, after all.
But the more I cried and apologized, the more he screamed at me.
But the more I cried and apologized, the more he screamed at me. I began to have a panic attack and I melted down to the ground, curled up in a ball in the hallway. But instead of stopping the yelling, he stood over me and continued to scream. I started hyperventilating. He told me I was faking it and I was pathetic. After he finished the shouting, he walked away from me. We were silent for about 20 minutes, then we got into bed and went to sleep. The next morning, he said he was sorry, but I needed to calm down with my emotions. So in the end, I was the one apologizing for what transpired the night before.
This was not a one-time thing. There were many more fights like this. And in the end I was always the one made to feel guilty. How dare I ever question him - he proposed to me. How could I do that to him? I was disgusted with myself for doubting him on a regular basis. I told myself that it was my anxiety making me paranoid.
But the screaming wasn't the only problem. This man would criticize me, put me down, and make me feel small constantly. If he didn't like something I was wearing, he would make sure I knew it. He told me I wasn't very funny and he didn't get why my friends laughed at me. He would constantly belittle me for being clumsy. I was afraid to spill something in front of him.
Another problem entirely was his lack of respect for people close to him. I watched him yell at his family on a regular basis over the tiniest things. He started off being incredibly close with my parents (they even helped him pick out my engagement ring), but as soon as we started planning the wedding, everything changed.
I started gaining weight. I became very quiet at work. I saw less of my friends. I felt bad about myself, but I didn't understand why. Wedding planning was not fun; I found it stressful. Like always, I told myself it was all in my head.
He had a lot of opinions about how he envisioned our wedding should be, and if my parents or I had a differing opinion, he was angry about it. We weren't putting a dime of our own money into the big day, so I felt weird about his resentment toward any ideas other than his own. When I tried to tell him that, he would tell me I was wrong. "Don't you love me because I have a lot of opinions?" he would say.
He stopped visiting my family with me. When I mentioned my parents, he would make snide remarks about them. I stopped talking about them altogether because it made me uncomfortable. My family loved me, and all they were trying to do was give us a dream wedding.
I loved this guy so much that I didn't care how I was feeling on the inside.
I loved this guy so much that I didn't care how I was feeling on the inside. I would do anything for him, and he knew that. So when he told me he was unhappy in our relationship, I asked him what I could do to fix that. All he could say was that he didn't know.
Eventually he told me that proposing to me was a mistake, but he wanted me to stay with him to see if we could work things out. More specifically, if I could fix all the things that were "wrong with me." And I did stay for a while. I so desperately wanted him to wake up and realize that no woman would love him the way I did. But he went about every day like things were normal, and I woke up every morning filled with dread, unsure of my future.
I asked him what was going on with our relationship a couple times, and each time it would result in an intense fight where we would part ways and stay with our families for a night or two. He told me I was impossible to talk to because I was too emotional.
After a weekend without hearing from him, I texted him asking if we could meet at the apartment and talk. His response - "Why?" I told him we needed to figure out what was going on, and he told me it wasn't a good thing for him personally to talk to me. We ended things.
I said I was moving out, so he went through everything I owned and put it in the middle of the family room. "I hope I made it a little easier for you," he said. While I sat at my parents' house (my new temporary home) and cried for a week straight, I received texts and calls from all over town - people told me he was out drinking most nights with his friends. They were confused by his actions. It hurt.
He blocked me and my friends from every social media platform. But that didn't stop the awful screenshots of his tweets bragging about going out and joking about needing a wingman. Even his friends were not loyal to him because they knew he turned me into a shell of the person I used to be.
A week later, on top of everything I had just gone through, I learned that he was not faithful to me. He was sending all sorts of photos of his penis to another girl before we were even engaged. Several people who knew about the exchanges informed me, even providing physical proof that the "other girl" admitted to all of it.
When I confronted him and his parents about his infidelity (bravest thing I've ever done, by the way), he pulled me to the side and asked me why I was trying to ruin his life. "We're done, Macy," he shouted at me. "You're trying to cause drama."
But I wasn't trying to cause drama. For the first time in my life, I was standing up to him. He had made me feel so guilty for questioning him all this time. And that feeling in the pit of my stomach was right all along. After trying to protect him and our relationship for a year and a half of my life, I was done. I missed who I used to be. I missed being happy. I realized that I had dedicated a huge period of my life trying to make sure I didn't make someone mad, and I was exhausted.
Why am I telling you this story? Because I know there are other people out there like me. People who lose themselves in the name of love, even if that love isn't healthy. Nobody deserves to be screamed at. Nobody deserves to be berated. I didn't understand that before, but I certainly know it now.
I was so scared to write about my experience, but now I feel empowered by it.
I was so scared to write about my experience, but now I feel empowered by it. I wanted to protect my former fiancé because a part of me still loves him, but I'm finished doing that now. I am trying to remind myself that yes, I am smart, funny, and strong. I didn't feel like I was any of those things for a long time. I'm having a hard time telling myself that now, but I will believe it again soon.
If you feel like you're being emotionally abused, trust your gut. Don't make excuses for it like I did. Learn from me. Talk to someone you trust. You may feel like you can't live without your partner, but you can. It will hurt. I'm still hurting every single day. But little by little, you will find yourself again. You won't believe you lived the way you did because of how happy you are now. And you will be stronger for it.

40 Cozy Fall Dinner Recipes to Make All Season Long

Pumpkin pastas, butternut squash soups, and more hearty Autumn dinners will warm your soul and fill you up on chilly nights. Consider this your ultimate guide to Fall dinner recipes that you'll want to make all season long.
I Was in an Emotionally Abusive Relationship, and I Didn't Even Realize It
At 23 years old, I fell fast and hard for an outgoing, charismatic man. When we began dating, he made me feel special, beautiful, and loved. I decided that any negative aspect of our relationship didn't matter because he loved me so much - there was a reasonable explanation for all of it. So when he proposed to me after almost a year of dating, I was overjoyed. I found a guy who wanted to commit his life to me. We were going to build a future together.
Six months into our engagement, that image of our life crumbled to pieces. My fiancé decided that he didn't want to marry me anymore, and it felt like a tragedy. I dreaded telling my friends and family; I was devastated. But their reactions to my news were not what I expected at all. One friend broke into tears. Another told me she was proud of me. My family felt guilty that they had let the relationship progress as much as it did.
They were relieved that my engagement to this man was over. Everyone had been scared for me, and I didn't get why. I was confused.
Everyone had been scared for me, and I didn't get why. I was confused.
This was the worst thing that had ever happened to me, wasn't it? But then, loved ones started telling me of times when they wish they had said something to me. Times when my fiancé would put me down or yell at me in public. And as more people stepped forward and told me that ending this relationship was a good thing (including this guy's own close friends), I came to a horrifying realization.
I was emotionally abused, and I could not admit to myself that it was happening at the time.

The 1 Simple Thing My Husband Does to Show Me He Cares Every Day
Marriage is hard. For many of us, when we're engaged, we picture marriage to be blissful and peaceful. But after you become newlyweds, you quickly discover that marriage can be strenuous. You learn that your husband ticks you off because he can't seem to land his dirty laundry in the hamper. My husband and I are no different. We just celebrated our 10-year anniversary, and while I'd love to report that it's been smooth sailing, that would be a mammoth lie. Yes, we've endured a lot this past decade: cancer-stricken parents, job loss, and adding two children to the mix. But the one thing that has kept us strong is how we show the other person that we care, that they're appreciated every single day - no matter what.
The one thing that has kept us strong is how we show the other person that we care, that they're appreciated every single day - no matter what.
Believe it or not, the one thing that my husband does for me that means the most is simply making the coffee every morning. Regardless of what's going on in our lives, it's he who always takes the time to make that glorious caffeine brew. And while he drinks a little of it in the morning, too, he does it for me to show me that he cares.
Yes, making the coffee is a simple task. You pour the water, dump the coffee grounds, and press the "on" button. Voilà. In minutes, you have caffeine ready to circulate through your veins to help wake you up. But because I am a stay-at-home and work-from-home mother, my husband understands that this coffee is vital for me before the rowdy children wake up and wreak havoc on our home. He knows that I relish in my solitude during the early hours of the morning to kick-start my day. And he understands that I need that warm mug between my hands while I'm nuzzled on the couch to really help ground myself for all that the day will bring.
Between settling sibling fights and writing articles, juggling the day's responsibilities can be tough. My husband leaves home to go to his office every morning. So, while he doesn't really get the pressure of working from home with little terrors trying to rule the home, he does appreciate what I do inside of it. He gets that working from home with the kids also means scrubbing toilets, making three meals, and cleaning . . . all day long. My husband and I do our best to thank each other for the different roles that we take on within our family. No one is better than the other. No job is more difficult. And we appreciate it all.
No, our marriage is not perfect. We argue weekly about both the big and small things, from not refilling the Brita before it goes back into the fridge to not understanding my feelings on a heated subject. But when I wake up the next morning after an altercation and see that the coffee is made, my heart softens. Yes, the one thing my husband and I always try to do is show each other that we care. Because if we stop showing each other that we appreciate each other, what will we have left? So, while making me coffee each and every morning is a small task, I sure hope that my husband continues to do it when our skin is wrinkled and the hair on our heads turns white. Because not only does it revitalize my day, but our marriage, too.
9 Podcasts That Make Me Look Forward to My Morning Commute
I love starting my day with a 30-minute commute by foot, partially because it gets my blood flowing and partially because it gives me time to listen to podcasts. While some podcasts should be reserved for longer periods of time (looking at you, Anna Faris Is Unqualified's two-hour-long episodes), others are ideal for quick listening in the morning. I've come to love a handful of podcast series that I look forward to playing when I'm in the mood to hear a thought-provoking conversation instead of music. The range includes politics, badass women, helpful cooking convos, and insightful life advice (Thank you, Oprah). If you're looking for some inspiration to switch up your downloaded queue, consider the nine informative podcasts ahead.
Anyone For Tennis? Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas Share a Kiss at the US Open
Tennis fans Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas made their second visit to the US Open on Monday, and though they were clearly very involved with the action on court as they watched both Maria Sharapova and Roger Federer get knocked out of the competition, they also found themselves getting a little distracted . . . by each other. The loved-up couple, who got engaged in October last year, were spotted kissing in the stands during a quiet moment on court.
They were joined for part of the day by Joe's older brother Kevin and his wife Danielle, who seems to have a tight bond with her sister-in-law to be. The two sat next to each other, giggling and taking photographs. Danielle's not the only Jonas family member who's been won over by the Game of Thrones actress; Kevin Jonas Sr. has also sung the praises of his son's fiancée and she's clearly a much-loved part of the family. We still don't know when Sophie and Joe's wedding will take place, but it's not the only big Jonas wedding in the works. Nick Jonas is set to marry Priyanka Chopra after proposing to the actress in May. Sophie's already spoken out about their relationship, describing Priyanka as "beautiful, inside and out."
Meghan Markle Made This Bag Sell Out in 11 Minutes - Now You Can Buy It at Nordstrom
Like clockwork, when Meghan Markle wears something new, we almost instantly add it to our virtual shopping carts. One of the things we love most about her wardrobe is her covetable bag collection. While Kate Middleton is known for pairing delicate clutches with her looks, Meghan has strayed away from the tiny bags and worn more relatable totes and crossbody styles.
The Dutchess of Sussex often wears one of her favorite brands, Scottish luxury label Starthberry. On her first royal outing, she carried this Strathberry Midi Tote ($675), and according to a press release from the brand, the bag sold out in just 11 minutes. Meghan later stepped out in Edinburgh wearing this Strathberry East/West Crossbody Bag ($645) and we knew we needed it.
With the "Meghan Markle effect" in full force, it hasn't always been easy getting your hands on these stylish bags. But not to worry, because we have good news for you: the highly sought-after brand has officially landed at Nordstrom. You don't need to waste your time scouring the site, either, because we hunted down its best picks so all you have to do is shop. You won't want to drag your feet, though; there's no telling how fast these ones will go.
The Ultimate Guide to Finding the Best White T-Shirt of Your Life
You think you've found a favorite white tee. You reach for it an embarrassing amount of times in just one week, and when it's not folded up neatly in your drawer, you kind of freak out a little, praying it's just in the hamper. But is it truly your perfect match? There are plenty of brands out there you've probably never heard of, some of which might make the right fit for you.
There's only one way to find out if a t-shirt's up to par: by wearing it.

The results are in, and surprisingly (or perhaps not), Everlane, Madewell, Hanes, and ATM got the most votes. But if those aren't for you, scroll to read up on 14 standout options - they're all a bit different, but we promise each one will look good tucked into your jeans.
