annual friends & family bloomingdale's sale 2023

If there's one thing we can't get enough of, it's a good sale — and the Bloomingdale's Friends and Family Event is no exception to that. For the next few days, the luxury retailer is offering 25% off select items and 20% off designer fine jewelry, cookware, and gadgets (look out for items labeled as such). A friendly warning for all my fashion girlies out there: splurging may occur, but in this case, it's allowed. While you have until Monday, October 2nd to take advantage of these sweet sales, I recommend that you stock up on pieces that are guaranteed to be your go-to choices this fall and winter.

Pants

MOTHER The Weekender Mid Rise Flared Jeans

Flare jeans are the perfect style to show off your new boots. While we love the 70’s, we also appreciate the small flare on this pair by MOTHER.

AGOLDE Riley High Rise Slim Jeans in Cove

Low-rise jeans might be having a little moment, but high-rise is forever! And plus, we love this vintage wash.​

rag & bone Dre Low Rise Ankle Slim Boyfriend Jeans

Skinny jeans are still alive and well! Keep in mind that these are made to fit loose, so for that signature, slim fit be sure to size down.​

PAIGE Cindy High Rise Ankle Straight Jeans

Whether you’re opting for an oversized college sweater or a glitzy blouse, these jeans will be every top's favorite match.

Madewell Slouchy High Rise Boyfriend Jeans

A solid pair of slouchy jeans are perfect for fall strolls through the park! We especially love Madewell denim, so this is totally a win in our book!

Skirts

PAIGE Meadow Raw Hem Denim Midi Skirt

Denim midi skirts were all the rage this past Summer and we have no doubts that the hype will continue through the Fall and Winter months.

Tops

AQUA Cashmere Crewneck Cashmere Cardigan

They had us a 100% Cashmere. Can you say cozy?

C by Bloomingdale's Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater

No matter what your style is, a warm and reliable turtle neck sweater is always going to take you far.

​ALLSAINTS Hera 2-in-1 Midi Slip Dress

Shoes

​Stuart Weitzman Soho 5050 Lug Sole Booties

If you’ve been feigning for a chunky ankle bootie to wear with jeans and dresses alike, then look no further. Reviewers recommend sizing down for a true-to-size fit.​

Chad Michael Murray Says He Wants "A Cinderella Story 2" Too

A Cinderella Story isn't just a movie — it's honestly a cultural moment. The costume montage, the spastic colons and synchronized swimming, the rain in this drought... even Gavin Degraw singing over the One Tree Hilltrailer on the DVD stand out! Everything about this film is iconically ingrained in our collective conscious, making Hilary Duff and Chad Michael Murray the Y2k blueprint for many of the "It" pairings we know and love today.

We last left our Princeton royalty preparing for their freshman year of college, dreaming of happily-ever-after — or at least graduation — and that was that! But in this era of reboots, I've often wondered what happened to our OG tortured poets after the credits rolled. Luckily, I'm not the only one! Chad Michael Murray just tee'd up a sequel, and yes that's me you hear squealing right now. Here's everything we know about what's to come for everyone's fave modern fairytale!

Is there a part two to a Cinderella story?

Photo via Warner Bros Entertainment Inc

There's Another Cinderella Story, starring Selena Gomez and Drew Seeley, but that's more so a part of a series of "Cinderella stories" rather than an actual sequel. So far, we haven't gotten a follow-up on our Princeton-bound faves.

Has "A Cinderella Story 2" been announced?

There's been no formal announcement yet, but that doesn't mean all hope is lost. During his press tour for Mother of the Bride, Chad Michael Murray told ETthat he's definitely interested in bringing Austin Ames back. He said that even his daughter told him, "You need to make another one of these, Daddy," after she watched A Cinderella Story for the first time.

His response to the idea? "Here you go, Hil. From me to you, let's do it!" — referring to Hilary Duff, of course! The timing couldn't be better either, given that Hilary just gave birth to her fourth child and could hypothetically be available to film in the coming months...just saying!

Again, there's no official information about this project yet, but with a main piece of the puzzle on board, we're one step closer to my own personal happily-ever-after — a real sequel to A Cinderella Story once and for all.

Red, White, And Royal Blue Fans — We're Getting A Sequel!

Amazon's adaptation of Casey McQuiston’s famed Red, White & Royal Blueblew our minds with its perfectly extravagant and messy royal romance. Prince Henry and Alex Claremont-Diaz stole our hearts with their antics, proving that love isn't always as cookie cutter as we think it should be. Not only that, but it was the LGBT film we never knew we needed until it hit the big screen last year.

If you've been missing Prince Henry and Alex, you're in luck because a sequel to Red, White & Royal Blue is officially coming! Here's everything we know about the latest developments!

Is the main cast returning?

Image via Jonathan Prime/Prime Video

I'm happy to share that Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez are returning! I honestly don't think the Red, White & Royal Blue sequel would be the same if they weren't.

However, no other cast information has been released! Hopefully we'll see Uma Thurman and Clifton Collins, Jr. reprise their roles!

What's the sequel going to be about?

Image via Prime Video

As of yet, Variety reports that not much has been confirmed about the sequel's plot or release date. My guess is that there the two lovebirds will have to juggle new responsibilities and mishaps.

What the original plot of "Red, White & Royal Blue?"

Image via Prime Video

The novel centers around the character of Alex Claremont-Diaz, a first son of the United States, and his romantic relationship with Prince Henry, British royalty.

Take a walk down memory lane with these behind-the-scenes pictures 👀

Matthew López on Instagram: "“Yes, this is exactly how I always dreamed it would be. Locked in a cupboard with your elbow inside my rib cage.” #rwrbmovie"

www.instagram.com

Nicholas Galitzine on Instagram: "The bois 📸 @aneeshtheactress"

www.instagram.com

Matthew López on Instagram: "Spent the last two weeks rehearsing with @nicholasgalitzine and @taylorzakharperez It’s been a joy to watch Henry and Alex come to life in the room. Excited to make this movie with them. Here we go! #rwrbmovie @primevideo 📸: (the great Stephen Goldblatt)"

We cannot wait to see what new adventures are two lovebirds will cook up in Red, White & Royal Blue, but for now we’ll be rereading (and rereading) RWRB.
