Today kicks off Krispy Kreme's most fleeting treat of the year
'Pumpkin spice fans are counting down the days to their favorite season and we're happy to kick it off by bringing back our Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed doughnut – earlier and for a longer period,' said Alison Holder, Krispy Kreme Chief Brand and Product Officer. 'But it won't be around long. Let Pumpkin Spice Season begin!' Pumpkin Spice won't go away forever on Friday. Krispy Kreme has also brought back its Pumpkin Spice Latte, Pumpkin Spice Coffee (hot or cold), as well as its Pumpkin Spice Cake doughnut. All three will be available throughout the fall starting Aug. 11. In a recent announcement, the doughnut giant said its Pumpkin Spice Original Glazed doughnut will be available Aug. 11 through Aug. 17. So, those who want to get their hands on the fall favorite will have one week to snag it. Krispy Kreme is not the only fast food restaurant getting an early jump on Pumpkin Spice season. Starbucks already announced its PSL (Pumpkin Spice Latte) would return earlier than usual this year, too. While it usually doesn't hit the menu until September, this year the drink is back on Aug. 26. Starbucks said in the announcement that the flavor is already available in stores in the form of coffees and creamers. Dunkin is about to drop its fall menu, as well, according to Markie Devo, a popular food blogger who is known for having the inside scoop on food releases. The drop is said to be scheduled for Aug. 20 (Dunkin hasn't confirmed or denied the menu or launch date) and, according to Devo, will include Pumpkin Spice Doughnuts, doughnut holes, as well as the Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte, made with 'pumpkin swirl, vanilla shot, milk, espresso, whipped cream, caramel drizzle, cinnamon sugar.' Love it or hate it, the return of Pumpkin Spice offerings is always highly anticipated. And in recent years, the popularity of the flavor has meant its return has come earlier and earlier. The pumpkin pie spice market is projected to reach $1.1 billion this year, with a predicted growth to $2.2 billion by 2032, according to Coherent Market Insights. While summer might feel a tad too early to enjoy Pumpkin flavors for some, and others say climate change has destroyed Pumpkin Spice Season altogether, the flavor hitting menus does serve as a reminder that colder weather is on its way. But for some die-hard Pumpkin Spicers, the doughnuts and drinks bring back the feeling that fall has already arrived, no matter what the calendar says.

Millie Bobby Brown Is All About This Fuzzy Take on These Classic Comfy Shoes
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Millie Bobby Brown has grown up in the spotlight. By the time the final season of Netflix's hit show Stranger Things wraps up on December 31, Brown will have played her character, Eleven, for just shy of a decade. Over the course of her style journey in the public eye, she finally feels as if she's landed on what truly works for her: embracing coziness. 'It's less about the look and just more about comfort and ease,' she tells ELLE—though she did enjoy the story she told through fashion during her recent press tour for her film Electric State. This summer, Brown teamed up with Crocs to star in their all-new Unfurgettable Clog campaign, lensed by Lillie Eiger. The actress instantly felt right at home alongside her dog in the whimsical tea party-inspired setting. Below, Brown delves into what it was like on set and what she has planned for the rest of her summer. I am definitely just more of a cozy girl. Anything fluffy, I'm probably buying. And I love whimsical color and fun fabrics. It's been really fun. I got to play around and to work with people who do that as a profession. I mean, I definitely went through different phases, but I feel like now I'm in my cozy era. I feel like they're so collaborative, so it was really nice to be able to talk through what was important to me. My favorite part of the shoot was working with my dog, Winnie. That was really fun, and she was such an angel that day as well. I definitely feel like less is more, but the Jibbitz are really fun to play with, and I usually love any of the animal ones—I think any of the dogs are really fun. Just hanging out and spending time with my animals, my family, and my husband [Jake Bongiovi]. This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Exclusive: Millie Bobby Brown on the power of 'switching off' as she teams up with Crocs for a Cozy campaign
'There's nothing I wear more than Crocs, so this is so exciting for me,' Millie Bobby Brown exclaims. The actress, producer and entrepreneur has teamed up with the shoe giant as the face of its new Cozy campaign. 'I'm a customer,' she says of the partnership. 'So when this came across my desk, I was like 'Oh my god'! Because I'm always in them — I go to work in them, I'm out on the farm in them, and then I run errands in them.' The aforementioned farm is in Georgia, Atlanta, where Brown lives with her husband Jake Bongiovi. However, the English-born star returned to her homeland for Crocs, with the campaign being set against the backdrop of the Loseley Park House & Gardens in the Surrey Hills. Brown says she 'loves' being back in the UK as it means she can spend time with her family, particularly her young nephew. Photographed by Lillie Eiger, the shoot focuses on 'self expression, creativity and who I am' with Brown's dog Winnie even starring alongside her. The cute poodle is earning somewhat of a name for herself, travelling with Brown wherever she goes and even making a cameo alongside her on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon earlier this year. I wonder, how is she adjusting to the limelight? 'Just fine,' says Brown, dryly. 'She's always been a diva, but now more than ever, she really feels the effects of what fame can do — she's always trying to lead me to places where she knows there are going to be paparazzi!' She then jokes she'll be taking 10% of all upcoming brand deals that Winnie manages to secure, of which I'm sure there'll be many (the dog already has an Instagram fan account dedicated to her). But back to the shoes — the collection boasts two faux-fur Classic Clogs, one in mushroom grey and the other in rose quartz pink. The fluffy shoes feature a backstrap with Jibbitz holes for customisation, of which Brown is a 'lifelong' fan of. Feminine beads, flowers and pearls adorn her pairs, with her favourite style unsurprisingly being the pink. Given her and her husband's coordinating fashion history, she's confident that he'll be donning them alongside her. 'Duh! Honestly, real men wear pink in his eyes,' she laughs down the phone. 'He's the same as me,' she says of their mutual love of Crocs. 'Ease and comfortability is key.' This feels like an apt statement given the Cozy title of the campaign — but how does someone as famous as Brown manage to unwind? 'I just like to spend time with my animals and my husband. We like to grab dinner and take long walks and [are] very romantic.' With the help of Bongiovi, Brown says she finds it 'very easy' to disconnect, and believes 'it's important to switch off' from the demands of her career. Speaking of which, Brown made headlines earlier this year when she posted a video to her Instagram account calling out journalists for criticising her appearance as she has grown up in the spotlight (she started acting when she was just 10 years old). In the powerful speech, she branded her treatment by the media as 'bullying', before saying: 'the fact that adult writers are spending their time dissecting my face, my body, my choices, it's disturbing'. It was a brave move that inspired thousands of her young fans across the world. Reflecting upon the video's impact, she says:'I hate to be so cliche and generic, but just know that being yourself is enough. Conforming to whatever environment is around you — like society, school, work, social media or whatever is provoking you — please don't change yourself." Brown's words sound like they come from experience. She says: 'If you tend to do what other people are doing, you get bored of it — jumping on the bandwagon gets so boring and ultimately, that [one particular thing] expires and then you have to go and jump onto the next thing, and it's just so exhausting.' Her advice is that 'it's truly never worth it' and she firmly believes that 'being yourself and marching to the beat of your own drum is so much more fun and liberating'. Now there's a sentiment we can get behind. With the final series of Stranger Things dropping on Netflix at the end of November, Brown will be saying goodbye to the role of Eleven, the character that catapulted her into global fame. She's also reported to be working on a film adaptation of her own novel, Nineteen Steps, which she'll both produce and star in. Alongside founding her own clothing, beauty and coffee lines, it's difficult to believe she's just 21 years old. 'Staying true to who I am' is clearly the key to her success — and with that mindset, she's got the world at her (pink, fluffy, Crocs-clad) feet. Crocs' Cozy collection is out now.
