It was the year of Taylor, Barbie and embracing all the extra. Throw these culture moments in your Cool Girl Tote and take 'em right into 2024.

Defining our lives by T-Swift eras

@mykenna

On DND: in our reputation era until New Year's Day.

Girl dinner

@pollypotsshop

We're craving cottage cheese, grapes and Club Crackers for almost every meal, tbh.

The coquette aesthetic 

@elenakatey

Ribbons, ballet flats and lacy ruffles? Yes, yes and yes. As long as Gracie Abrams approves, we do, too.

Everything showers

@_selfcare.sunday

Spending two hours in the shower with a four-step haircare routine is the only logical way to combat the Sunday Scaries.

Lucky girl syndrome 

@jennibrhodes

Manifest Mondays, 11:11s and angel numbers galore. Think positive and all good things will come.

Barbie pink

@laurenlicup

Fuchsia will always be the GL color of choice, but our girl Margot Robbie proved that pink isn't just a phase — it's a lifestyle.

Casual Instagrams

@hannahmeloche

Bestie candids, funny faces and random pics of your kitten? Serving realness *and* positivity.

Capsule wardrobes

@somethingwhite

Sustainable clothing is a timeless trend, esp. when you have style-able pieces to work with (high-waisted blue jeans and a white fitted tee are essentials).

Food beauty

@mel.amartinez

Tomato girl makeup? Cinnamon cookie butter hair? Now just stay tuned for our chocolate strawberry facial (aka us sitting in bed eating chocolate strawberries).

Digital cameras

@l.liangg

Sure, phones are convenient, but there's just something about that Y2K aesthetic...  

Altoid wallets

@dovecage

It's like minting money.

Long denim skirts 

@martina.chicki

Hi, NoLIta.

A bold red lip

@pressley

Making appearances on spring runway '23, fall runway '23 and yes, spring '24, too.

Chill sneaks with a girly outfit

@veronicajdejesus

Converse + cute dress = forever a vibe.

Chunky headphones 

@natalieelewiss

All the glam of earmuffs, all the noise cancellation for studying.
