Her grandmother, Etta, owns a dress shop that might have a little bit of magic for everyone who walks through the door.

Listen to Havana by Camilla Cabello

If you’re in denial about the arrival of cold weather, turn this song on and imagine dancing on summer nights.
Watch Elementary
The American TV series about Sherlock Holmes has a slight twist on the story of one of history’s most loved detectives. Based in New York, Sherlock Holmes is assigned a sobriety partner, Joan Watson. Together, the duo investigate crimes with the NYPD and learn what it means to find friends as adults with difficult pasts.
Watch Thor: Ragnarok
The final movie in the Thor trilogy features Chris Hemsworth with short hair and Marvel’s journey into movies with lighter tones.
