Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Blake’s velvet double blazer I don’t know where she’s going but Blake Lively is clearly ready for fall. Like, sure, fashion doesn’t necessarily have to be seasonal anymore but certain fabrics are. And a velvet pantsuit, to me, is fall.

Music Janet Jackson: for now, forever Janet Jackson has released a new single and accompanying video, her first in three years. The song is “Made for Now”.

Movie Reviews and Previews Crazy Rich Asian Moms If you weren’t already going into Crazy Rich Asians obsessed with Michelle Yeoh, you will definitely be leaving the movie obsessed with Michelle Yeoh.
