Simone Biles’s DIY Bags Are a Tribute to Fiancé Jonathan Owens

Not only do Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens regularly coordinate their couple style, but they also pay tribute to one another through their fashion accessories. Case in point: Biles's recent Instagram Story, where she showed off her brand-new pouches that are a nod to her husband-to-be.
On Friday, Sept. 9, Biles posted an image of three clear PVC bags embellished with white and black patches that read "Owens" and the Houston Texan player's jersey number, "36." The designs turned out to be a late Thursday night DIY project as the caption on one of the images said, "got a lil crafty last night."
While we wait to see if she'll wear them out in the real world, we can also speculate they may be bachelorette-party accessories, as the 25-year-old gymnast told James Corden plans are underway for the event when she paid a visit to "The Late Late Show" on Sept. 7.
Alternatively, Biles could style her brand-new bags with an oversize button-down shirt, as she did during her trip to Mexico City.
This isn't the only time Biles has dressed in a look that paid homage to Owens. Just a few weeks ago, she shared a mirror selfie in a blue tank top that said "36" across the torso.
While we love these subtle connections to her other half, we are also anticipating what she'll wear to walk down the aisle when she weds Owens in her Galia Lahav bridal gowns soon.
Britney Spears Goes Barbiecore in a Hot Pink Bikini on Instagram
Britney Spears is the latest star to jump on the Barbiecore trend. The aesthetic consists of a series of fuchsia silhouettes that inevitable command attention at every turn. The bright pink color of summer has graced the Instagram feeds of a range of tastemakers - from Vanessa Hudgens to Dua Lipa - over the past few months, and Spears just gave the look a renewed momentum. Dressed in the eye-catching hue, the "Toxic" singer is letting us know it's here to stay.
On Thursday night, the 40-year-old star took to Instagram to share a new bikini snap, which according to the caption, was taken during a trip to Arkansas. Spears' choice of swimwear consisted of a hot pink underwire bikini top and a bottom that looked slightly skirted, though ultra-mini in length. Below the colorful pic, she wrote, "Y'all remember Suzie Lou from Arkansas…yep that's me back in town 🤓🤠😂…visiting my uncle once a year…PLAY…PLAY…on!!! Psss always say the truth ladies !!!"
The pink bikini, though the slideshow opener, was not the only photo of Spears on vacation. What followed was a floral dress, skinny jeans and a white ruffle top, as well as a red mini dress finale.
Though Spears had not yet modeled this particular head-to-toe pink look until now, she had certainly already tried out the neon swimwear look, posting a bright yellow polka dot thong on Instagram just a few days ago. She had also shared a video of herself dancing in a bright red thongkini a few weeks ago.
Ahead, recreate her hot pink moment with similar pieces.
Lori Harvey Wears a Puffer Dress With a Thigh-High Slit For NYFW
Money talks, and Lori Harvey's cash-green puffer dress at New York Fashion Week is telling us it's time to bundle up for fall. On Sept. 8, the model attended Vogue's NYFW kickoff event in an iridescent minidress, which is Look 12 from Christian Cowan's fall/winter 2018 collection. Harvey styled the look with diamond earrings and white Christian Louboutin So Kate Patent Leather 120 Pumps. She wore her hair in a straight bob and rocked bold mascara and a two-toned lip for the evening soiree.
Harvey's dress, styled by Elly Karamoh, featured a high collar and voluminous statement sleeves constructed from a shimmering quilted fabric. The zip-front dress also included a thigh-high slit that disappeared under the oversize ring belt around her waist, an equally eye-catching strip of fabric that hung down past the figure-hugging skirt to the dress's emerald ribbed hemline. As we create our style boards for fall, Harvey's dress is a helpful reminder that the right coat can make - or even be - the outfit.
For Harvey, a New York Fashion Week regular, the look is one of many we can expect to see her debut in the coming week. In the past, one of the model's most memorable NYFW looks was an all-white Michael Kors blazer and tailored pants. Most recently, Harvey stepped out in a hooded slip dress with a high slit from Greg Lauren's spring 2015 collection at the premiere of Netflix's "Me Time" in LA. Shortly before the premiere, she also rocked a sheer, tiger-print catsuit by LaQuan Smith for a night out.

9 Clear Bags That Are Perfect For Stadium Games and Concerts
If you're thinking about getting a new bag right now, may we recommend one that's clear? PVC bags are having a moment right now, and there's so much to love about them. For one, how many times do you find yourself rummaging through your bags, trying to find what you're looking for? Well, with a clear bag, that problem goes out the window. Plus, they force you to be a bit more organized. We usually have receipts, crumbs, and plenty of other things we'd rather not mention lying around in our bags, and having a clear bag gives us incentive to clean up, and only carry the essentials.
The other great part about a clear bag is that now, concerts and sports games are recommending them in venues for security purposes. We are totally behind the idea of clear bags in stadiums, and we want to look cute, so if you're going to a concert or headed to a sports game, our pick is one of these nine bags. We found cool belt bags, convertible crossbody bags, and even a clear tote bag. Keep on reading to shop our top selects!
These Sunglasses Are Only $15, and They Always Get Me Compliments

When it comes to putting the finishing touches on any of my outfits, I always reach for sunglasses. A good pair of glasses can elevate any outfit, even if it's something as simple as a white T-shirt and jeans. Admittedly, I'm picky about my sunglasses, and I used to believe that only expensive pairs were worth buying if I wanted good quality. However, I recently discovered a pair of sunglasses that blows all of my expensive sunglasses out of the water: the Universal Thread Oval Aviator Sunglasses ($15) from Target.
Keep scrolling to learn more about my newest accessory obsession, and make sure you snag a pair before it sells out.
What I Like About the Universal Thread Oval Aviator Sunglasses

The first time I saw these sunglasses, I was scrolling TikTok when one of my favorite fashion creators, Zozosfits, popped up on my For You Page. Zozo is a fashion influencer who is known for wearing super-expensive clothes, so when I spotted her wearing a pair of extremely cute sunglasses, I had a gut feeling it was going to be at least $200.
When I scrolled through the comments trying to figure out where the glasses were from, I saw that Zozo had commented saying they were from Target. I honestly thought she was kidding, but I decided to pull up the Target website and see if I could find them for myself. After about 10 minutes of searching, I stumbled across what I was looking for, and I was shocked to learn that not only were they actually from Target, but they were also only $15.
I added them to my cart immediately, and I even paid for expedited shipping because I wanted to get them in my hands as soon as possible. When they finally arrived, I tore open the box faster than you can say "eyes," and they've been practically glued to my face ever since.

I've been wearing these sunglasses all summer, and I've come to realize that they pair perfectly with every single outfit in my closet. Whether I'm wearing a blazer and slacks or a cute workout set, you won't find me without my favorite accessory close by. They've also been with me for every beach day, hike, and dinner that I've attended over the last few months, and they haven't accumulated even a single scratch, so I know the quality is great.
I love these glasses so much, and they're so affordable that I was actually able to purchase a second pair to keep in my car so I never leave the house without them.
What's Worth Noting About the Universal Thread Oval Aviator Sunglasses
These are oval aviator sunglasses that have shatter-resistant properties and a full-rim design with a metal frame. The frame color is a satin gold finish, which pairs perfectly with the green lenses.
These glasses don't come with a protective case or a cloth for cleaning the lenses, but I had an extra case lying around that I was able to store these in. If you're someone who needs dedicated storage for your sunglasses, I would look into purchasing an affordable case like this Facile Frame Glasses Case ($8) from Target.
Who The Universal Thread Oval Aviator Sunglasses Are Best For
I would recommend these sunglasses to anyone who likes the look of expensive accessories but doesn't love the hefty price tag that comes with them. I genuinely can't get over how expensive these sunglasses look in real life and how great the quality is. They're aviators, which I personally think look amazing on any face shape.
