All the Times Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello Looked Almost Too Adorable Together
We can barely remember a time when Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello were not together, but in reality, it's been just over two years since the couple had their first date after Modern Family star Jesse Tyler Ferguson served as matchmaker.

Supergirl's Melissa Benoist Files For Divorce From Blake Jenner
Melissa Benoist and Blake Jenner are reportedly ending their marriage. According to documents obtained by TMZ, the Supergirl actress recently filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. The pair first met while playing love interests on the hit TV series Glee in 2012. They got engaged in July 2013, and secretly married two years later. Even though they were usually pretty reserved about their romance, they did share a number of sweet moments on social media.
Proof That Sienna Miller's Bohemian Style Is All Grown Up
Sienna Miller has put down the flower crown. From her days of slouchy denim and loose flowing tops and dresses, Sienna has moved on to tailored separates, structured bags, and dark sunglasses. In short, she's having what we'd call a "Siennasance," an outbreak of street style looks so good, we can't help but take a tip from them all.
Read on to see how the birthday girl, who turns 35 today, has taken her outfits from rugged bohemian to polished and elevated and even started a few trends along the way. We'd argue that these crisp, casual ensembles give her most elegant red carpet gowns a run for their money - just try to tell us you don't agree.

Your Questions on Our Clean-Eating Plan, Answered
What you need to know:
What if I don't like almond milk?
Any nondairy-beverage alternative can be used in this plan as a substitute for almond milk. Hemp, rice, coconut (that is, a coconut milk beverage, not canned coconut milk), flax, soy, etc. C&J suggests you opt for one that is fortified with calcium and vitamin D.
Do I have to give up coffee and tea?
There is no reason to cut out coffee and tea completely since doing so can often sabotage the success of a plan like this. But don't go crazy! Limit yourself to no more than two eight-ounce cups each day - 16 ounces is a Grande at Starbucks. Do drink your coffee or caffeinated tea by noon, since these beverages can interfere with sleep. If you like milk in your coffee, try it with an unsweetened dairy alternative, like soy or almond. Or try your coffee black - you might just like it.
Do I have to give up alcohol?
Yes. See if you can de-stress without that glass of wine or cocktail. Give your body a break from the boozy holiday celebrations of the last two months.
What is the average daily calorie count?
All the meals, snacks, and treats included add up to about 1,600 calories per day. The carb, protein, and fat ratio is close to 50:20:30. The carbs are high fiber and minimally processed. The protein is lean, and the fats are primarily plant-based.
When should I eat the snack and the daily treat?
The creators of this plan, C&J Nutrition, recommend not going more than four to five hours without a meal or snack, so use the snack and treat to ensure this timing happens. A daily meal schedule might look something like this:
7 a.m. breakfast
10 a.m. snack
1 p.m. lunch
6 p.m. dinner
8 p.m. treat
You can also eat your snack or treat in midafternoon if you are eating dinner later in the evening. Basically, you want to eat when you start to feel your stomach rumble, but before you become overly hungry. You want to blunt the hunger pangs a bit before you eat your next big meal. It's much more difficult to make wise food decisions, like portion size, when you're well past the point of being hungry and have entered the low-blood-sugar "famished" territory.
Can I start whenever I want?
Yes! Of course. We know that not everyone can start on a Sunday or on Jan. 1. Just follow the plan as it is laid out since many of the daily recipes use ingredients cooked or prepped on previous days.
I don't like canned tuna - what can I use instead?
If you don't like canned tuna, you can substitute canned wild salmon in any recipes that use tuna.
Tips
Hydrate: Be sure to drink at least 64 ounces of water each day and even more when you exercise. Some people need more water than others, and the best way to tell if you're dehydrated is to check the color of your urine. It should look pale yellow to almost clear. If it's looking more like apple juice, it's time to drink up! Water and herbal tea are great ways to hydrate.
Be Open-Minded: You might be trying new foods in this plan, like socca, a thick pancake made with chickpea flour, and congee, a rice porridge popular in many Asian countries. But this plan also takes popular favorites and gives them a twist, like making savory oatmeal, which might sound odd if you're used to adding brown sugar to your morning oats, but it's fun and filling meal.
Freezing Meat: After shopping, you should freeze any meat that you are using later in the week. You want to protect the meat from air, which can "burn" it. Wrap the meat tightly in plastic wrap, and then place in a ziplock bag. Label the bag with the freezing date and type of meat.
Thawing Meat: The safest way to thaw meat is in the fridge. The night before you plan on cooking frozen meat, take your cut of meat out of the freezer and place it in the fridge, still wrapped. Small cuts take about 24 hours to thaw. You can also place small cuts of meat in a bowl of lukewarm water.

Rescue Dogs Like This One Are the Best Companions You Could Ever Find
The following post was originally featured on Finding Silver Pennies and written by Danielle Driscoll, who is part of POPSUGAR Collective Living.

"Whoever declared that love at first sight doesn't exist has never witnessed the purity of a puppy or looked deep into a puppy's eyes. If they did, their lives would change considerably."
― Elizabeth Parker, Paw Prints in the Sand
As I sit in the kitchen and write, I have the most beautiful puppy snuggled in my lap. If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook then you probably already saw this beautiful face. We are head over heels for the newest addition to the Driscoll family. I'm so excited for you all to meet Max!

If you've read the blog for some time then you know how much we love rescue dogs and how special our Poppy is. We rescued her 6 years ago from Sterling Animal Shelter. We adopted her when the boys were young, Conor was one and I just felt we needed another baby around.
For some time, we've wanted to adopt another dog. Two years ago we went to see a senior dog at Scituate Animal Shelter, a black lab. Poppy is such a great dog and gets along with all dogs, except black labs, we didn't know this at the time but she did not like that dog and she growls every time she sees a black lab. Strange as she's black lab / flat coat mix. Anyway, deep in my heart I craved another dog for our home.
Image Source: Finding Silver Pennies
I mentioned something to a friend who fosters and told her that Poppy seems to like "little dogs". We weren't particular of the breed or anything. Just thought it would be nice for Poppy to have a companion. Sometimes she seems lonely or antisocial and she loves meeting new dogs in the harbor.
A few weeks ago my friend sent me an email. "I have puppies. Not sure if you're still looking but come over…"
We went over. Max was one of the puppies. He was approximately three weeks old and so tiny! So tiny, in fact, I was scared to hold him. I thought I might break him. We got to play with his mom and brothers and sisters. They were all so cute and so tiny.
Image Source: Finding Silver Pennies
I think I should rewind and tell you how Max got to be in my friend's care. Someone abandoned the mother with her 5 puppies on the side of a road. Isn't that heartbreaking? I can't comprehend how anyone could leave innocent puppies and a mama who had just given birth on a busy road and just drive away. Thankfully there are so many good and kind people. A good samaritan contacted Rescue Dogs Rock NYC, a non profit New York based rescue. Maggie and her tiny puppies were fostered in my friend's home.
After visiting Max and the other puppies a few times, we felt this was the right time to apply and see if maybe one would be right for our family. Maggie has such a lovely disposition (but was already adopted) so we thought we'd try for one of her puppies. We left it up to Rescue Dogs Rock and said we'd be happy with any if they thought our home would be a good fit.
The agency was wonderful and very thorough. We had an interview, a home visit and then I got to go with my friend when they had their first immunizations.
Image Source: Finding Silver Pennies
Maggie is a terrier mix and we don't know what Max's dad was but think it may be Jack Russell.
We brought Max home on Sunday night.
So everything is so new.
I'm enjoying seeing life though a new set of eyes, through 8 week old puppy eyes. As you can imagine he's into everything.
His ears perk up when he hears birds. Each leaf and plant is something to be explored and I'm constantly chasing after him to get leaves out of his mouth.
Image Source: Finding Silver Pennies
His body is very long and his legs are so short. When he wags his tail he almost falls over. We tried to walk him but we didn't get very far.
He doesn't like the sound of large trucks and likes hiding under the island in the kitchen.
The boys are smitten with their puppy and have tried hard to help look after him but also help with chores around the house.
I'm currently training him so I'm spending most of my time in the kitchen or out in the yard. He cries if I leave the kitchen and he still isn't used the the crate. We're giving him loads of love and cuddles. He's our main priority right now. DIYs and house projects can wait until we're in more of a routine.

Poppy has been such a wonderful big sister. She loves him and he loves her. It is so fun just to watch them play outside. Both have tired each other out today and both are sleeping….
Image Source: Finding Silver Pennies
I love him so much and feel so lucky to have him in our lives. I plan on sharing his life with you and hope to give an update each week on his progress.

I hope you guys enjoyed meeting the newest Driscoll, Max.
We're firm believers in rescuing animals and love this quote:
"Shelter dogs aren't broken…"
"Shelter dogs aren't broken, they've simply experienced more life than other dogs. If they were human, we would call them wise. They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write, the ones dealt a bad hand who responded with courage. Don't pity a shelter dog. Adopt one. And be proud to have their greatness by your side."

How a Stranger's Comment Changed the Way I Parent
We'd spent a few hours at the beach during our Spring break trip to San Diego when the weather turned and we decided to pack it up and head out. I juggled sandy beach toys and wet towels in my arms and attempted to convince my 2-and-a-half-year-old that it was a good idea to leave the endless playground that is the beach while my husband followed behind with the folding chairs and our crying 4-month-old. As we trudged through the sand, I noticed an older man look at us and heard him comment sweetly to his wife: "Those were the days, weren't they?"
I stopped - not physically, because that would have sent plastic toys flying and my toddler running - but inwardly, and when we got back to the car my voice cracked as I told my husband what I'd heard. There weren't actual tears, though that wouldn't have been too surprising for my sentimental self, but I got emotional thinking about it. These are the days. We're in them, living them. Right. Now.
Related: A Letter to My Unborn Baby: Here's What I Promise You
It was a powerful reminder for me as a mom. Especially as a mom who, at the time, was only four months in with two kids and who'd spent the first eight weeks after my second son's birth wondering how on earth anyone has more than one child and their sanity. It had taken me a while to get into a groove and there were more than a few mornings when I had to force myself to get up to tend to a crying child and even more afternoons when I wondered how early was too early to pour a glass of wine.
Juggling 2-year-old tantrums with nap schedules and never-ending bedtime routines makes for some long days, and when you throw in being responsible for actually feeding the entire family and maintaining the relationship that got you there in the first place, it can be overwhelming.
The grocery shopping and the lunch packing and the endless picking up of toys. The busyness of all the little things starts to drown out the beauty of it all as one big thing. It's easy to lose sight of how magical a time it is when you're in the middle of the everyday, but that man's comment reminded me that the days when our children are little are the days that we'll be nostalgic for once they're calling us for money instead of whining for more Cheerios.
Related: This Is the One Thing Kids Want From Their Parents
In the weeks since, I've made a conscious effort to replay those words and that scene at the beach in my mind. We were sticky with sunscreen, hair tangled from the wind, hands full of stuff, dragging our babies through the sand, and instead of seeing chaos, that man saw us as a beautiful memory of his own young family. We were the highlight reel.
The potty training accidents, the endless snack requests and subsequent spills, the constant fight over the need to actually be buckled into a car seat - these may not be the highlights of each day, but somewhere along with that first baby smile, the hilarious comments only a toddler is capable of making, and the out-of-nowhere hugs that make you want to freeze time, they all combine to make one amazing lifetime of experiences.
The challenge is remembering that the next time your toddler intentionally throws a plastic fire truck at your infant's head after they both refused to nap all day and you just realized there's no food in the house for dinner. Man, these are the days.
This Is What Your Kids Should Know About Money Based on Their Grade
Finances can seem like a big topic that isn't age-appropriate to talk about with kids. Although some parents might think that they are doing their kids a favor by shielding them from the scary, complicated, and intimidating world of economics until their child is older, they are actually doing their kids a disservice if they don't get them involved from a young age. According to the Consumer Protection Bureau and the President's Advisory Council on Financial Capability, you can begin building a strong financial foundation starting from the time your child goes to preschool. It's also important to continue introducing essential concepts that are fitting as they get older in order to raise financially responsible adults.
Instead of avoiding the topic, scroll through for a list of digestible yet essential principles that your child should master based on their school year.

This Is How You Can Get Selena's Amor Prohíbido Look Using Her MAC Collection
When I heard MAC had partnered with Suzette Quintanilla to launch a collection inspired by Selena's most iconic beauty looks, I could barely contain my excitement. All I could think about was re-creating her gorgeous brows and superpigmented lips from the Amor Prohíbido album cover - my favorite Selena album as a child - and a few days before all 13 products in the highly anticipated collection hit maccosmetics.com on Oct. 1, I got the chance to do it.
The MAC team allowed me to try the products ahead of the launch and sent its senior artist Chantel Miller to coach me through the whole thing. Straight ahead, you'll find the step-by-step that'll allow you to create Selena's beautiful makeup if you got your hands on the products, too. If you didn't, don't worry - we got a list of shades that will serve as replacements.
NYX's Newest Launch Is the Most Affordable Way to Try the Iridescent Highlighter Trend
Duochromatic highlighters are definitely having a moment. These unique formulas are characterized by their special iridescent pearl pigments, which feature the stunning ability to look like a different color from every angle. Just by delicately moving your head, could make your glow look golden, blue, or even green (the possibilities are truly endless). It's basically like seeing a rainbow arc out of your cheekbone!
Since the launch of Anastasia Beverly Hills's Moonchild Glow Kit in the Summer of 2016, brands like Kat Von D and MAC Cosmetics have each followed with their own iterations. If you're on a budget, you might not have snapped up any of these products, but thanks to NYX Cosmetics, you'll now be able to dive into the trend.
The upcoming Duo Chromatic Illuminating Powder ($8, launching Dec. 8 on nyxcosmetics.com) will be available in five different shades, including two white-based hues and an edgy lilac. Each features that magical, shade-shifting quality for an Instagram-worthy glow. Add a light dusting to look like an ethereal faerie, or really pack it on to look like a sexy space alien (we enjoy the latter application, honestly). Read on to see all the shades in their gleaming glory.

Why Didn't Anybody Tell Me: Vaginal Popsicles After Delivery
If you think condoms only have one purpose, you are sorely (pun intended) mistaken. After delivering my baby, one of the "treats" that the nurses quickly introduced me to in the maternity ward was the genius ice diaper. An instant pain reliever - not every new mother is lucky enough to receive such pampered treatment. And for those who have swollen and bruised nether regions post delivery, I've got another secret.
A friend of mine was tipped off from a mother, who also happens to be a doctor, to fill a condom with water and freeze it. When the discomfort kicks in, take the vaginal popsicle out of the ice box and lay it length wise in your undies to give your girly parts some relief. To keep yourself dry, use a feminine napkin to catch the ice's perspiration.
Suzette Quintanilla and Chris Perez on Selena's Legacy and Their Best Memories With Her
Image Source: MAC Cosmetics
It's been 21 years since Selena's passing, but her legacy remains alive thanks to her fans and the Quintanilla family. Her sister Suzette, brother A.B., husband Chris Perez, and parents Abraham and Marcella have done everything in their hands to honor the Tejano singer, running a museum at Selena's old studio in Corpus Christi, TX, hosting the Fiesta de la Flor, and, this year, launching a makeup line with MAC Cosmetics.
POPSUGAR Latina caught up with Suzette and Chris a day before the official collection launch at the American Bank Center in TX. They exclusively opened up about the process of creating the line (featuring eyeshadows and lipsticks named after Selena's biggest hits), their fondest memories with the star, and what it means to see a new generation of fans. Scroll ahead for the must-read quotes.
POPSUGAR: Tell us about how the line came about. Did it all start with the fan petition? Or did you always want to do a makeup collection for Selena?
Suzette Quintanilla: It's a little bit of both. When Selena passed away, she wanted to do a line, and was actually creating a line of makeup, so that had always been in the back of my head . . . to be able to, hopefully, do something like that in the future. But then, surprisingly, this petition was started by Patty Rodriguez . . . I believe it got 40,000 signatures in a month. I'm not too hip on what that petition page thing was and all that. It was around the time we were planning the Fiesta de la Flor for the first year. So I wasn't really on social media and didn't really know what was going on. When I realized what was going on, literally within the week, MAC Cosmetics reached out to us. It happened that quick. For the last year and a half, we've been working on what this line is, and I'm really happy with it.
PS: How did you choose the shades?
SQ: In regards to the shades, the color palette for the whole collection, when I was discussing it with MAC, they were asking what we felt it should be like. I said it shouldn't be about anything that I like, or what you guys want to push. I think since it's for Selena, it needs to be about Selena. I still have her makeup case, so I literally took pictures of everything in it and sent it to MAC. They came back to me with these matching colors, the colors she would wear on and off stage. This line is Selena.
"I still have her makeup case, so I literally took pictures of everything in it and sent it to MAC."
PS: How about the names? Why did you decide to name them after Selena y Los Dinos' most popular songs.
SQ: The names, that was me. It was kind of easy. The red [lipstick] is Como la Flor - it has to be, you know? And, of course, Dreaming of You. That's the darker tone, and I felt it was very sexy. [The name] went better with the darker tone lipstick. And, of course, Amor Prohibido is the lighter [beige] shade she would normally wear when she was offstage. She would run around, and she liked to wear nude lipstick. There was some clear gloss in her makeup case, too - this [the Bidi Bidi Bom Bom Lipgloss] - is the only thing that's not going to be sold in the store. It's going to be an online exclusive. When you put it on, it's going to be pink, but it has this clear, glittery vibe. This speaks volumes of what she would wear when she was running around and doing everyday stuff.
In regards to the names of the songs, I literally looked at them and said this looks like Missing My Baby and this right here is a no-brainer. I don't know if you know what the name of this one is, Chris - Is It the Beat, because it's black. It kind of goes with it. It was easy. It was a no-brainer.

PS: Is there a makeup trick Selena taught you, Suzette? Was there anything she always did while getting ready?
Chris Perez: They learned from each other. Both of them.
SQ: We kind of wore similar makeup back then. I don't know if there were any tricks. She clearly loved the bold lip, like most Latinas. If anything, she kept it simple with the bold lip, a little bit of eyeshadow, not too much, and, of course, the eyebrows - you can't forget the eyebrows. But in terms of a ritual, I don't know.
PS: Did she take a long time to get ready?
CP: I guess like with most women, you wanna be somewhere quickly, you'll get there quickly. I just remember many times, laying there and hearing her in the other room doing her thing. It depends on whether she was trying some new stuff out. She'd be in there for quite some time, like most girls did.
SQ: You have to also understand she was very young still, so she had flawless skin. Whenever she wasn't on stage, she just basically wore the nude-style lipstick, light foundation, mascara, and always had her hair pulled back. Jeans and a t-shirt.
PS: It's been 21 years since her passing. Is there a favorite memory you have with Selena that you always go back to? I always think of the Grammys, when she won.
SQ: For me there's a couple. You mentioned the Grammys. I remember walking in, with my husband. I came down to meet y'all in y'all's room, Chris. We opened the door and walked in, and she came out of the restroom. She had told me about the dress, but I hadn't seen her. We had gone earlier in the day to get our hair done. When she came out, I thought my sister was beautiful; she had this amazing vibe about her. It was kind of like one of those moments where you were like "Woah," it was one of those. Kind of like when she walked out, there was a beautiful light shining on her type of vibe. I literally got choked up. I was like "Oh my God, you look amazing." It was breathtaking. She was breathtakingly beautiful. You know when everything is just right. Her makeup, her hair, her outfit - she looked amazing. That's one moment.
Another memorable moment I always go back to, and I think I go back to this one more, is all the time that I spent in the bus with her. That was our most time spent together. We spent more time in the bus than we did at home. Late nights after the gigs, she would wipe off her makeup, she would eat something, and then she would come and crawl in our bunk and we would just talk. About her makeup line, her dreams, her being a mother, her being married to Chris - just about life, what families and what sisters normally do. That for me was my special moment.
"Late nights after the gigs, she would wipe off her makeup, she would eat something, and then she would come and crawl in our bunk and we would just talk."
PS: What about you, Chris?
CP: There's quite a few. As crazy as it sounds, it's probably the last time that I saw her. It was that big smile and her laugh. Being as it was the last time I saw her, in my mind, it's such a beautiful picture and memory of her. She opened the door, and my dad had come into town and she forgot. So they had opened the doors to the room at the same time, and she just saw this dude standing before her. She just screamed, and I jumped out of the bed, and then she turned and gave that laugh - the whole thing. I was like "Aah," and then got back in bed. Just little things like that. And, like Suzette said, being in the bus, there were so many moments. It was like our little cocoon, our little safe zone where there was a lot of family time.
PS: There's a new generation of Selena fans now. What do you want people to know about her that might not know.
SQ: For me, I feel that they know everything. That's why there is a new generation that has embraced her and is living her. She kept it real, on and offstage. She was not a different person. When she spoke to you she made you feel like she knew you. I think that transcended clearly on stage. She had the ability to be able to captivate you. I think that's why we are, even 21 years later, talking about this line. I think the younger generation, and the internet, they are able to click and research her and see her. I think that's why they know everything. They feel like they can identify with her. I think she is a role model and inspires people. Also, the fact that we had pretty cool music. It's a combination of things, and I think that it's very evident that the younger generation see that.

PS: This year seems to be such a big one for Selena's memory. You just revealed the wax figure; it was announced she's getting a Hollywood Walk of Fame star; she got inducted to the Texas Women's Hall of Fame. What does it mean as a family to have all of this happening?
CP: I think I speak for all of us when I say she's part of our everyday life. We see things a little different, but we are appreciative of the support the fans continue to give her. It's always surprising. In typical Selena fashion, a project starts one way, it ends up being this huge thing because of the loyalty of her fans. They have her back. It's amazing still to this day.
SQ: It just so happens that a lot of great things fell into this year. And the vinyl . . . the Selena special edition vinyl. We're really excited about that. It comes out [Oct. 14 . . .] So many amazing things are happening; it just seems like something really cool is going on - like from one year to the next. This year definitely more so than the past years, and we are very very grateful for that.
PS: Selena was really a pioneer among Latinas, even now there are not many Latina role models out there, unfortunately. What does it mean to you that Latinas really embrace her and admire her?
CP: She's become an icon. Obviously, when everything first happened it took some time . . .
SQ: To understand the magnitude, I'm sure Chris feels the same way. To just get on the road and perform - we were just doing our thing. Doing our music, doing our thing.
CP: And we saw crowds get bigger, but . . .
SQ: It didn't really dawn on you. You were just doing your thing. Like OK, record sales are great, we're selling out, OK, cool this is what it's all about. But then when she passed away it was like, what Chris said, "Woah, wait a minute." The magnitude of the outpouring of love when she passed away was like "woah." It was overwhelming for us.
"The magnitude of the outpouring of love when she passed away was like, woah. It was overwhelming for us."
Even to this day, we are so surprised at the magnitude of her legacy, what it has now become. This is a clear staple [the makeup] - a perfect example of where her legacy is at. This is not a US thing; it's a global launch. It speaks volumes. We're beyond ecstatic. I think if she was here, this would still be happening, clearly, but you'd be talking to her. We'd be chilling out over there. I'm sure she would be really ecstatic about everything that is going on. She loved her fans, and we are very grateful that her fans still love her.

PS: You talked about just being on stage and doing your thing, but everyone was hypnotized by what was happening, the songs, the music, the performance. What was your favorite song to perform with Selena?
CP: It's a shocking thing because I'm more of the rocker, and you'd think I'd pick a certain song. I used to like playing the more cumbia songs. Where Ricky [Vela] would play the accordion, where I would have to say "Las Cadenas" and "Los Desprecios."
SQ: That is shocking.
CP: Yeah, I'll be there stomping my feet to that stuff and had to be like "Alright, calm down, calm down." I used to love playing those songs. Obviously I loved every song that we did. And I have to say, mainly because of her. She had - even then we all could hear it in her voice - God-given talent. She was amazing.
SQ: I'd have to say, I like that little attitude she used to give "Ya Ves." Now, I love everything, but when you're jamming you're jamming, but "Ya Ves" would be one of my favorites.
CP: I used to get a kick when she would pull people out of the crowd.
SQ: Oh, heck yeah! That was always fun to watch. We'd get a kick out of that because the guy would be all embarrassed but loving it at the same time. It would be so funny to watch. I think it was the fact that she was able to draw you in as a performer and as a singer, and make you feel part of what she was singing. I think she had definitely God-given talent. She definitely had something special.

With a new year comes new beginnings - just ask Kate Middleton and Prince William. People is reporting that the royal couple, along with their two kids Prince George and Princess Charlotte, are moving back to Kensington Palace in London come 2017. The family has lived in Amner Hall for the past three years, and is planning on making Kensington Palace their full-time home.

Prince William's job as an Air Ambulance Pilot with the East Anglia Air Ambulance is also up in the air, since his two-year contract is up in March, and it's still unclear whether or not he'll be able to balance the job with his new royal duties.

This Bride Wore So Many Dresses at Her Indian-American Wedding, It's Hard to Keep Track
When your buddies NAS and Jay Sean perform at your wedding, you know you can expect a good playlist. But stylish party outfits? Well, that was up to the bride, Hayley Murthy, to master. Hayley and Dee held a gorgeous ceremony at Bacara Resort & Spa, gathering all their friends for the occasion.

Later, she celebrated her bachelorette in a white monogrammed swimsuit, and finally, it was time for her to pull out the rest of her bridal looks.
Hayley walked down the aisle in a voluminous Monique Lhuillier gown that would make any girl weak at the knees, but she brought along plenty of minidresses too, along with one asymmetrical long-sleeved sheath perfect for a formal rehearsal dinner. Right before the final reception, Hayley joined the groom's family for Hindu traditions where bundles of flowers were thrown over her sparkling Sabyasachi Couture creation. Read on to feast your eyes over every ensemble she wore during the memorable weekend.
These Stars Gave "Free the Nipple" a Whole New Meaning in 2016 - and That's a Good Thing
This year was less about "freeing" the nipple and more about just showing one if you wanted to. While stars like Miley Cyrus and Ireland Baldwin pushed for the cause in 2015, stripping down to promote the acceptance of nudity on social media, this year we saw a new direction. Women who have always felt comfortable in their bodies (think Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, and Kendall Jenner) addressed their general willingness to flash skin. "We are more than just our bodies, but that doesn't mean we have to be shamed for them or our sexuality," Emily wrote on Instagram.
Meanwhile, Kendall Jenner penned a blog post on her site about why it's not a "big deal" that she ditches a bra to show off her nipple ring. Others, like Serena Williams and Gigi Hadid, sparked a bit of controversy after accidental nip slips at Wimbledon and on the runway, respectively. Even so, they came out confident and strong, brushing off the incidents like they were NBD. Read on for a list of ladies who said, "So what? You saw my nipple," in 2016.

The Easiest Way to Get Rid of Old Knives
Sure, it's easy to recycle or donate muffin tins, dishes, and other random kitchen equipment, but what about kitchen knives? When you're ready to get rid of an old set, it seems dangerous and wasteful to toss them in the trash. Turns out, it's so much easier to deal with them than you think, and wrapping them up in bubble wrap or cardboard is unnecessary. After reaching out to Goodwill's customer service, a representative said they are happy to receive kitchen knife donations. All you need to do is pile them in a shoebox or another small box. I may use a Sharpie to write "CAUTION: KNIVES" so any handlers are aware of what's inside.

Michelle Obama's Custom Gown Had 1 Majorly Festive Detail
Anytime Michelle Obama wears Gucci, you can bet the look will make a statement. For an appearance at the 2016 Kennedy Center honors, the first lady chose a green and pink embellished gown from the fashion house, the hem sweeping the Kennedy Center halls as she walked hand in hand with President Barack Obama. The festive piece was eye catching and fell right in line with Michelle's most recent outfit choices: just a few weeks ago, she wore a holiday-inspired navy ensemble, complete with a tiny bow.
Upon closer inspection of Michelle's Gucci number, we once again noticed a similar small bow detail. The bejeweled piece sat right in front of her Gucci three-quarter sleeve gown, blending in perfectly with the green and pink pattern - something that anyone could have easily missed. Considering Michelle's opted for bowed pieces twice, we suspect she may have a newfound love for this detail, or that it's simply a subtle nod to the holiday season.

Emma Stone's Yellow Dress Will Give You 1 More Reason to See La La Land
La La Land took home best picture at the Critics' Choice Awards, but if you need another special reason to see the film, perhaps this style tidbit will do: Emma Stone's signature dancing dress was selected for a reason. Emma plays Mia in the movie, and though she partakes in plenty of dancing acts, the one set in front of a lit-up Los Angeles seems especially romantic. Costume designer Mary Zophres spoke to Fashionista about her wardrobe choice for the scene, explaining that she was inspired by an Atelier Versace gown Emma wore to promote The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in 2014:
"It's stunning on Emma and I pitched [that color] to [director Damien Chazelle] for that sequence. We had our first fitting and Emma started spinning around in this dress. She loved it. I loved it. She and I thought at the same time, 'Why don't we just use this fabric?'"
After hiring Rob Phillips to hand-paint florals onto the fit-and-flare, the look was just as flattering as Zophres imagined it. Read on to see the La La Land costume once more, then check out the red carpet number that inspired it, along with more of Emma's recent appearances in yellow. One thing's for sure: regardless of the silhouette or occasion, Emma looks downright gorgeous in the shade - the same goes for her new character, Mia.
Jake Gyllenhaal Escapes to St. Barts For a Quick Vacation Ahead of Award Season
Even though 2016 hasn't been the best year, Jake Gyllenhaal is here to make it all better. The Nocturnal Animals star is currently vacationing in St. Barts, and on Tuesday, he was spotted hitting the beach with longtime pal Greta Caruso. Jake went shirtless in black and yellow trunks and took a dip in the ocean with Greta, who appeared to be having a blast. Award season is quickly approaching, so it makes sense that Jake would find time for a quick vacation before all of the madness. Not only did Nocturnal Animals score a handful of Golden Globe nods, but it was also nominated for a SAG Award.
The Style Moves That Defined 2016
While the word "trend" suggests a beginning and an end, fashion folk know better than to say goodbye. Certain looks - from cuts of denim to standout styling tricks - repeat themselves. Even so, it's nice to know where these fads came from. For example, we'll never forget that Twiggy and Edie Sedgwick popularized the tights-and-shift combination in the '60s or that the best place to search for a stretchy wire choker in the '90s was Limited Too.
This year gave rise to a whole bunch of trends (23, that we could count!). Some of the style moves ahead are updated takes on older trends, but most of them we'll date back to this exact year. Read on for a list of reasons 2016 was pretty rad in our book. And if you're in the market for a fresh outfit or two, you've still got time to hop on the bandwagon.
