Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · If you were a Real Housewife your tagline would definitely be "When the drama heats up, I stay cozy and cute." Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's. 1. A strawberry sweater vest you'll love berry, berry much — wear it on its own or layer it over a dress shirt for a more adult-like vibe that'll still put your childhood wardrobe to shame. Promising review:"I super love it! I ordered a size small, and it fits perfectly. It's soft and comfy. I got great compliments from my students and my fellow teachers! I'm going to order another design in the future." — Jeje Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in women's sizes XS–XL). 2. A popular pair of crisscross faux fur slippers to step into when you've finally relented to getting up for some sustenance after you've spent your entire weekend watching old episodes of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Reviewers adore them for their open-toe design (no overheating tootsies for you!) as well as their waterproof, anti-slip soles (in case you need to run outside for a sec). Promising review: "I hate my feet being hot. There are sooo comfy, yet warm and let my toes breathe. Slipping into luxury. Wish I could buy three more! Highly recommend." — Amber Rose Get them from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in women's sizes 5–10 and 20 colors). 3. Or cozy slippers that'll put a smile on your face and your feet — they're playful and will look extra adorable as you pad around the house debating whether you should put real shoes on and go outside for a bit. I've had these slippers for two years now, and I love them! They're soft, fit well, and keep my toes warm. What more could you want from a pair of slippers? Promising review: " Oh my goodness!!!!!! I have been looking for a cute/ comfortable pair of slippers to wear around the house! I don't know why I waited this long to get these. The material is so soft and the cushion is amazing. And the color is on point. They also run true to size. I will be purchasing in other colors as well." — Kaitlin Garcia Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in women's sizes 5–12 and five styles). 4.

I love the high waist and smooth, soft material. I have now bought three of them and wear them all the time!" — Alice Get them from Amazon for $29 (available in 16 colors, two inseams, and women's sizes 2XS–2XL). 5. And/or high-waisted bike shorts, perfect for styling your favorite (and easiest to replicate) Princess Diana look — don't forget to grab a cool collegiate sweatshirt! Promising review:"First time trying a pair of bike shorts, and I am officially OBSESSED! The material these are made of is so soft. I'd say they are about medium compression. I did a workout in them and they didn't seem to roll or anything. So far, I am very happy with them!" — Bailee Dalton Get them from Amazon for $8.96+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 16 colors). 6. A pullover sweatshirt that'll become a staple in your wardrobe faster than you can say "cozy." It comes in *so* many colors you can absolutely stock up on 'em. (Who wants to do laundry???) Promising review:"I can't stop buying more and more of these sweaters. I am not joking. They are the coziest thing ever. Make sure to wash on a cold, gentle cycle and tumble dry low so it stays softer for longer. It is the PERFECT lazy day comfy outfit. Couldn't recommend more. Going to get everyone one for the holidays." — Caroline Cycon Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 26 colors). 7. A basic Madewell tee you'll regard as one of the most versatile items in your closet. You can wear it with your feet kicked up in sweats, battling your friends on Fortnite or pair it with jeans and a blazer for a more polished look worthy of a first date. Amazon Promising review: "The perfect white T-shirt. Comfortable. Good quality. Not too expensive. I've worn it time and time again. Relaxed fit." — Bartow Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in sizes 2XS–2XL and 21 colors). 8. Joggers with over 16,000 5-star reviews, which is quite impressive for a pair of comfy pants, don't ya think? These are stretchy, have pockets (oooooh!) and come in 23 colors, so you could wear a pair of 'em for three weeks straight if you really wanted... Promising review:"When I ordered them, I expected them to be thick. I wanted something warm for my winter workouts in my garage. They are way thinner than I expected but are surprisingly super warm. Not see-through at all. And the feel is amazing. I love the material. I ordered both black and tye dye. I'll def be ordering more! Order down a size if you want a super tight feel like leggings. But medium fit me perfectly with lots of room to move around, and so far no issues with waistband sliding down." — lacie Marie like Get them from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 22 colors). 9. A drawstring jumpsuit, perfect for anyone who wants to lounge *most* of the day but also has a handful of errands to run. When the cute cashier at CVS starts checking *you* out while you're checking out, you can thank me. Promising review:"Love this jumpsuit! The material is of great quality, not sheer, and feels soft. The top can be worn as a normal top with sleeves, or you can push it off the sleeves for a different look. I'm a big fan of the jogger-style legs and how they taper at the bottom. I often wear this as a casual outfit around the house, but it's also easy to dress up for a night out!: — Jen | SimpleModestMom Get it from Amazon for $24.61+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 17 colors and 31 styles). 10. Iconic Lululemon Align yoga leggings made from fabric that is so ridiculously soft you likely won't want to wear regular pants ever again. Sure, these babies can be worn to work out in, but there's absolutely no reason why you can't lounge around in them. Lululemon I wore these throughout my pregnancy — they were stretchy enough to fit through all nine months comfortably! Former BuzzFeed editor Ciera Velarde also finds these leggings to be comfy enough to consider them her go-to travel pants: "If someone told me 'you could only wear one pair of pants on planes for the rest of your life,' I'd pick these leggings in a heartbeat. I have five pairs of them, and for every single flight I've been on for the past six years, I've worn these with a sweatshirt or oversize sweater, most recently on a eight-hour overnight flight to Naples, Italy. They feel like you're wearing nothing (in the best way possible) while also offering great compression that doesn't show any lumps or bumps. The high waistband also offers great comfort and very rarely ever rolls down, which means no awkward adjusting while you're packed into an economy seat. There's a reason people rave about them despite their high price point — they're just that good. Trust me — I've literally put the miles in." Get it from Lululemon for $98+ (available in sizes 0–20, four lengths, and 12 colors). 11. An oversize crewneck sweater you can comfortably wear with leggings on lazy mornings when you still want to feel just a little dressed in case you get the urge to get wild, throw on jeans, and head out for lunch later on in the day. I snagged this sweater during a Prime Day sale, and my only regret is not ordering it in more colors. In the photo above (left), I was about 5 months pregnant, and, despite ordering my normal size, the stretch was so fantastic it still fit great! It's very lightweight — which is great for anyone who wants the look of a sweater but the feel of a lightweight top. Promising review:"This is a great loose-fitting sweater. So comfortable. Great to lounge around the house in sweats or throw on some leggings or jeans and run errands. I wear it a lot." — Michelle S. Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 24 styles). 12. A fuzzy three-piece loungewear set that'll make you feel like the chicest thing Build-A-Bear Workshop has to offer — reviewers have praised it as being delightfully similar to Skims! Promising review:"This is by far the best money spent on clothing! I love this outfit. It's so comfortable! I will say the tag was a bit itchy on the top piece, so I had to cut it off. Otherwise, I would give it 20/10. This outfit is what I treat myself to on my self-care days and relaxing moments. Personally, I don't think I'd wear it out and about, but around the house it is just so perfect! And what I look like in my own house doesn't matter, but my comfort definitely does!" — Wendy Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $54.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 29 styles). 13. A padded tank so you can go about your day bra-free (but supported!) — which sounds like an absolute dream. It'll layer beautifully under your go-to oversized cardi and ensure you look cuter-than-cute even if you're just boppin' out to grab an iced coffee. Promising review:" Honestly saw this on TikTok and contemplated getting it for a long time. I'm so glad I committed! It's extremely comfortable. The padding is amazing so you don't have to worry about a bra underneath at all. You can wear it with sweats or leggings to the gym or even dress it up for a night out. Considering more colors for sure!" — Kristyn Long Get it from Amazon for $17.59+ (available in sizes S–2XL and 20 colors). 14. A brunch-inspired corded crewneck you'll want to snag for yourself and your Sunday morning squad — get it oversized for an extra comfortable fit you'll never want to take off! Cheers, darling 🥂. I have many sweatshirts from BFFs and Babes, a woman-owned small business, and I simply adore them — I've purchased so many as gifts as well! The sweatshirts are super cozy, don't run in the wash (thankfully). Get it from BFFs and Babes for $30 (available in unisex sizes S–XL). 15. An oversized linen jumpsuit that'll help you continue to push your *~farmer chic~* agenda — it'll also be the perfect companion to *all* of your weekend plans, including scrubbing your bathroom floor or pulling weeds in the garden. Promising review:"These are too perfect for words. I'll be buying the other colors as soon as possible! They are super comfortable and extremely versatile. They're great for yard work, casual events, cute swimsuit coverups, and more. These are going to get so much wear!" — Cara Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–4XL and nine colors). 16. Colorful leggings with side pockets (!!!) you can keep your phone in — so when you're running around your house on a Saturday morning trying to cross things off of your to-do list, you won't *also* have to stop and click that button on your Apple Watch that makes your phone *ding* while you try to locate it under the couch. Promising review:"These leggings are AMAZING! Not only are they soft, comfortable, and squatproof, but they look so good on! I have a hard time finding leggings that are big enough around the thighs/butt area but fitting enough around the waistline. I can't believe the price and the fact that my new favorite leggings are from Amazon." — MLK Get them from Amazon for $25 (available in sizes XS–XL and 33 colors). 17. An oversize pullover V-neck sweater made of a cozy waffle knit material that'll become as much of a staple in your life as homemade chocolate chip waffles topped with whipped cream are on the weekends — both of equal importance, obvs. Promising review: "This is my new favorite go-to top for ANY occasion. I bought it to wear with heels and distressed jeans out with my fiancé, however, the day turned into us and our daughter heading to a Mexican restaurant, so I simply changed from heels to my Birkenstocks, and it was just as cute. I'm buying every color. LOVE THIS SHIRT!" – Katie Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 30 styles). 18. Cushioned crew socks to encourage you to kick back, put your feet up, and relax a bit after a long work week — if you want to add a crisp Diet Coke into that plan, I certainly won't judge. Plus, over 9,000 reviewers have left a 5-star review. (Jeeeeeez!) Promising review:"I love socks and am also very picky about socks. These socks checked all my boxes! They're comfortable socks, they're thick but not too thick, and I wear them all the time. I will be coming back to order some more soon!!" — Abi Tamburro Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $14.80 (available in sizes 6–12 and three styles). 19. A quarter-zip pullover, so if you end up feeling a bit toasty while out on a walk you'll be able to get yourself a lil' airflow (my fellow sweaty humans know *exactly* what I'm talkin' about). Promising review:"I am so in love with this pullover. I am usually an L, but I sized up to XL to get an oversized fit, and it is PERFECT! The material is so comfy, and it is long enough to wear with leggings since I sized up. The color is also accurate to what is advertised. I want to buy one in every color now!!" — Abbie Liee Get it from Amazon for $25.25 (available in sizes S–XL and 33 colors). 20. A stylish two-piece set that'll be your go-to for grocery store runs — the long sleeve top will keep your arms warm enough when you hit the freezer aisle while the shorts will ensure your body temp stays precisely where you like it. Promising review:"I am in love. The sizing is perfect. It's comfortable. It fits perfectly. The color is incredible. Need in every color." — Sierra Perambo Get it from Amazon for $34.97 (available in sizes S–2XL and 17 styles). 21. Bombas socks with a darling bow on the back of each one to make you feel like a prima ballerina, even if you're just wearing 'em to tip-toe around your house in an attempt to *not* wake your finally napping kiddo. Bombas Promising review: "Fit true to size, soft and comfortable, and they don't fall down or bunch up. The bow is the perfect little touch." — Claudette A. Get them from Bombas for $18 (available in sizes S—L and three colors). 22. A tonal pullover that'll delight anyone who loves a black-on-black moment in addition to the not-so-subtle call out of how they're living their life these days (ahem, a world filled with caffeine and chaos). River Babe Threads is a woman-owned small business based in Michigan that sells handmade items and original designs. When I had my baby, my sister and I bought matching "caffeine and chaos" sweatshirts and also bought a coordinating shirt for him to grow into (it, fittingly, says "I'm the chaos"). It's super soft and comfortable, and I love that the style feels a bit more stylish than most of my other pullovers. I've been living in this sweatshirt for nearly three years now! Get it from River Babe Threads for $39.99 (available in unisex sizes S–3XL). 23. A sleeveless jumpsuit that's honestly so comfortable you might even want to take a cat nap in it — it's so soft and loose your body will be like, "wow, what IS this?" Promising review:"This jumper is like wearing pajamas. I wear a T-shirt under it since I am a plus-size lady and like a supportive bra. The material is very soft, and the quality is spot on. Perfect for wearing on the plane when I travel. Love them so much, I bought a second pair in a burnt orange." — Liz Coffe y Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in sizes S–4XL and 38 styles). 24. A track suit for anyone who hates having to linger in front of their closet for far too long because they don't know what to wear for the day —you can throw this on within 60 seconds and be on your way. Promising review:"Color, fit, material. Just what I was looking for in a comfortable set to travel in." — Sheryl's Pick Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in size S–2XL and 32 colors). 25. And a sweatshirt with an initial embroidered onto it in a chic Old English font — it'll do the work of saying "HEY, THIS IS MY SWEATSHIRT" without you having to utter a word. Good Scout Supply / Etsy Good Scout Supply is a small business based in North Carolina that sells super cute monogrammed apparel. Get it from Good Scout Supply on Etsy for $40 (available in unisex sizes S–3XL and seven colors).

NBA Teams Ask SCOTUS to End ‘Discovery Rule' in Copyright Law
Eight NBA teams that are being sued over their use of licensed music in social media posts filed an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday. They urge the Court to reject the 'discovery rule'—which doesn't start the three-year statute of limitations clock for a copyright holder to sue for infringement until they discover or, with due diligence, should have discovered infringement—and endorse the 'injury rule,' which starts the clock when infringement occurred. The brief filed by the Indiana Pacers, Denver Nuggets, Minnesota Timberwolves, New Orleans Pelicans, Orlando Magic, Portland Trail Blazers, Sacramento Kings and San Antonio Spurs is in support of RADesign Inc. (fashion designer Ruthie Davis), which has been sued by Michael Grecco Productions for copyright infringement over publication of a photo of model Amber Rose wearing a pair of Ruthie Davis shoes. The relevant issue for NBA teams is that RADesign's alleged infringement began more than four years before the lawsuit was filed and the Copyright Act requires that infringement claims be brought within three years. Last year the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit endorsed the discovery rule, which has led RADesign to ask the Supreme Court to review. More from The Shot That's Becoming a Reliable Offensive Weapon in the NBA Sporticast 425: It's Christmas Morning for Hockey Fans Inside MrBeast's $100K, 100 Million View NBA All-Star Stunt In a brief authored by attorneys Kian J. Hudson and Stephen R. Mick, the teams note that they are defendants in an infringement case over the use of licensed music in social media posts 'that,' the teams stress, 'are in some cases more than a decade old.' Last year Kobalt Music Publishing and other companies that own or have licensed interests in songs sued 14 NBA teams over their use—without the plaintiffs' permission—of songs sung by Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Doja Cat, Bad Bunny and other well-known artists. The teams stress that the discovery rule is not stated in the Copyright Act, and thus lacks statutory support. Instead, courts have adopted the rule as a matter of practice. The teams maintain that while the discovery rule was created for a worthwhile reason—namely to protect 'innocent plaintiffs' who are late in discovering infringement—it has become used as a 'powerful weapon' by 'copyright trolls' to abuse copyright law. One problem with the discovery rule, the teams insist, is that its availability turns on the plaintiff's knowledge. That approach rewards plaintiffs to 'profess no knowledge' and an incentive to know less. While the 'should have known' element of the discovery rule should discourage a 'hear no evil, see no evil' tactic, the teams argue that courts regard knowledge to be a question of a fact that can't be addressed on the pleadings or in summary judgment. In other words, whether the plaintiff 'knew' or 'should have known' becomes a reason for a court to keep a case on the docket, which increases litigation costs for defendants and subjects them to a more extensive discovery. The teams also point out that with the rise of Instagram and TikTok, trolls seek to capitalize on social media posts that contain mere 'snippets of music or images in the background.' Those clips might include several seconds of a 'touchdown theme song or arena anthem celebrating a team's victory.' The teams argue that 'sophisticated' trolls use computer technology to 'sift through oceans of social media content' in hopes of finding a brief use of copyrighted material that can 'form the basis of a threatening and costly infringement claim.' Another alleged problem connected to the discovery rule is that the Copyright Act's damages provision incentivizes plaintiffs 'to accumulate dozens or hundreds of small claims.' Each claim can be worth up to $30,000 per work and, with willful infringement, $150,000 per work. This arrangement, the teams argue, can make a 'brief, incidental infringement' have a potential litigation value 'hundreds of times larger than the commercial value of the use.' To illustrate the point, the teams cite litigation against CNN and its affiliates for over $11 million in potential damages over music whose 'actual license value' is worth only a fraction of $11 million. 'No one was surprised,' the teams write, 'when CNN settled' the litigation 'prior to significant discovery.' The NBA teams conclude either brief by providing a sports example, but not one about basketball. Instead, they refer to a YouTube video that will bring a smile to Boston Red Sox fans: The video captures former Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz's memorable walk-off home run from the 2004 AL Championship Series and—the teams insist—'perfectly illustrates the danger of the unchecked discovery rule.' As Ortiz rounds the bases in celebration of the Sox defeating the New York Yankees, 'a careful listener can hear the Fenway Park PA system in the background playing Dirty Water, a celebratory song that is played (under license) by the Boston Red Sox after victories.' The teams warn that under the discovery rule, it's possible that 'those few seconds of background music are a potential infringement claim with 20 years of accumulated damages.' The Supreme Court is currently weighing whether to take RADesign v. Greco. If the justices agree to take it, eight NBA teams—and perhaps a video of 'Big Papi'—might have played a key factor.

Amber Rose reveals what she would tell her younger self
Amber Rose would advise her younger self to "always" trust her instincts. The 41-year-old model became a stripper when she was in her late teens and even though she has carved our a career as a media personality in the years since, insisted that some people "don't want to address" her correctly. She told New Zealand's Maxim magazine: "I'd tell my younger self to always follow my intuition. From ex-stripper to ex-girlfriend. Almost 20 years later and some people still don't want to address me accordingly." Amber first found fame when she appeared in Young Jeezy's 2008 single 'Put On' alongside Kanye West, and later appeared on shows such as 'The Hills' and 'Dancing with the Stars' in the years that followed. And the former 'Master of the Mix' judge revealed thatas she looks forward into the coming years of her showbiz career, she is gearing up to launch a TV show that will offer her take on current affairs. She said: "I'm excited to announce my new show. It'll be my opinion on politics and other current events." Amber publicly supported President Donald Trump throughout his campaign but insisted that she "doesn't give a f***" about what others had to say her at the time, especially because the former 'Apprentice' star emerged victorious. She said: "During the election, I was 'cancelled'. "Now? All the naysayers are quiet. They see he's already changing our country for the better. "Unfortunately, the 'woke' left cancels people for having a different ideology. "Fortunately for me, I don't give a f*** and will always stand 10 toes down until the wheels fall off, regardless of what my beliefs may be. "I used to be on the left and thought I was doing the right thing. That's why it's so important to have open conversations."
