Julia Roberts Has a Street Style Secret Weapon, and It's a Pair of Leather Pants
Julia Roberts may never be able to re-create an outfit as iconic as those she wore in Pretty Woman, and that's no bad thing. Her costumes were just that extraordinary, and she wore them with so much confidence that they still sprout up as Halloween costumes every year. But Julia's got her own thing going on when it comes to red carpet suits and bold power moves (remember when she famously gave up shoes at Cannes?).
We're here to focus on her street style, though, because the actress has somehow managed, with the help of her stylist, Elizabeth Stewart, to cater her off-duty ensembles to the city she's stationed in, brilliantly pairing leather skinnies with graphic tees and blazers in the Big Apple one day, then transitioning to effortless boho separates when she's in LA. Scroll to get a handle on Julia's flawless personal wardrobe, and keep your eyes peeled for even more appearances as she promotes her new TV series, Homecoming, and Ben Is Back, a film that's already garnering 2019 Oscars buzz.
J Lo Has Her Chanel Belt and Hermès Bag, but This 1 Other Accessory Ties Her to Her Man
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are taking on the world together, one afternoon at a time. While the pair might be dressed for the gym half the time, when they're all dressed up, coordinating in their best, they look like a power couple to boot. J Lo recently shared some snaps of herself and ARod traveling for business, and while she was decked out in a tweed pencil skirt, Chanel belt, Hermès bag, and PVC pumps, and he in a suit and tie, it was their aviator sunglasses that set them in sync. Jennifer's came in a rose gold visor silhouette to draw attention to her hoops - striking, yes, but too much for J Lo? Hell no. Read on to check out all the pics Jennifer shared, then shop for similar shades if you like her style.

The Striking Transformation of Victoria Beckham's Little Black Dress
In recent history, Victoria Beckham has been inclined to wear color. Perhaps the playful vibe of her new Target collaboration is swaying her in that direction, or maybe Victoria is just open to change. Change she has, since the days of Posh and the iconic "little Gucci dress" she slipped into in everybody's favorite movie Spice World.
But despite Victoria's more modern fashion sense, she has not forgotten her roots nor the power of a simple black sheath. These days, she might be sporting the look with her signature glove pumps instead of sky-high platform boots, but year after year - and as seasons change - Victoria's LBDs mean business. Scroll to track their transformation over the past decade.
How to Wear the Most Flattering Pants on Earth, Which You're Probably Totally Afraid Of
When you describe the paper bag pant out loud - all bunched up at the waist with a loose fitting leg - it doesn't sound all that flattering. And maybe that's why women continue to reach for their trusty old mom jeans. But we're about to prove that the paper bag silhouette is not to be knocked. In fact, it's got an extremely flattering cut. The cinch tie accentuates your waist and creates a long, lean shape.
If you choose a design that's smartly tailored in a quality fabric, you'll feel so confident that you'll probably replace your tight-fitting, cropped trousers with these instead. Whether you like free-flowing silk or something with a bit more structure, we rounded up some styles we think you should try on for size, and we're also recommending the perfect outfits to style them out.

31 Cats Sitting on Santa's Lap That May or May Not Be Poised to Attack
If you're a cat owner, you know that most cats only like to be snuggled on their own terms, and even then, there's a very delicate balance between "I'm going to lie here forever" and "Peace out, homie!" That simple fact is what makes these photos of cats sitting on Santa's lap 100 million times funnier, because as cute as these felines all are (SO. DAMN. CUTE.), you just know that they've all got to be mentally poised to attack at any given moment.
Please, stop whatever you're doing and LOL with me over these hilarious cat photos. (And godspeed, Santa.)
The 10 Moms You Can't Unsee Barely Hanging On at the Airport
If there's anything worse than the airport, it's the people inside of it. From flight delays to overcrowded gates, the confines of the airport leave a lot to be desired, let alone the plane.

I'm Never Going to Tell My Kids the Truth About Santa, Because Why Take Away the Magic?
My family loves Christmas. Like, really, really, really loves Christmas. Once Halloween is over (I'd skip it if my husband would let me), it's full-on North Pole in our house. I love everything about it: the music, the decorations, the lights, the smells, and the movies. Sure, presents are great, but the thing I love most, and have always loved most, about Christmas is the magic that it brings.
I was in sixth or seventh grade when [my parents] told me that Santa [isn't] real. It was soul crushing. The magic was gone. And in spite of my Christmas-crazy family, it never really came back.
When I was a kid, I would lay awake in bed listening for sleigh bells and the sound of reindeer hooves on the roof. Falling asleep seemed impossible, and when it finally happened, it was short-lived. My eyes would pop open in the middle of the night, and I'd quickly and quietly tiptoe down the stairs to our den. The big, colorful bulbs on our freshly cut tree lit up the room, revealing perfectly wrapped packages in shiny, festive paper. The whole room seemed to sparkle, and I was awestruck by the magic of it all. My excitement hit its peak when I would see that Santa ate the cookies we left for him. After that, I would wrap myself up on the couch. There was no going back to sleep, so I watched Nick at Nite, which, at the time, would play the Christmas episodes of The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Dick Van Dyke Show, until it seemed like a reasonable enough hour to go and announce to the rest of my family that Santa had come.
This was what Christmas was for me every year. Then, one year, my parents decided that I was "ready" to know the truth. I think I was in sixth or seventh grade when they told me that Santa is real, but only in our hearts. Or something like that. It hit me like a ton of bricks, because in spite of what they thought, I really wasn't ready to stop believing. It was soul crushing. The magic was gone. And in spite of my Christmas crazy family, it never really came back. That is, until my children came along. That excitement and magic I felt growing up is exactly what I want my children to feel, and I will never, ever, take that away from them, no matter how old they get.
So, I will order personalized, hand-written letters from the North Pole, we'll take them to see Santa, and we'll bake him an obscene amount of cookies. My husband and I will dangle out of our attic window so that our children hear sleigh bells as they're getting into bed, and if our kids believe in Santa until they're in their 20s, then so be it. I mean, there are worse things, right?
Looking back, no matter how many Christmas carols we sang, how many movies we watched, or how many presents we opened, it's the excitement of knowing that Santa had come that I remember most. I remember the youthful magic, and the devastating moment when my parents ruined it for me. So you know what? I'm going to keep my kids' Christmases as magical as I can for as long as I can.
Please Watch This Heartachingly Adorable Holiday Commercial About a Family of Bears
What about an animated bear could inspire so much emotion? If Paddington or Christopher Robin taught us anything, that's a loaded question. London's Heathrow Airport recently released its annual holiday commercial, which sees the grandparent bears (ahem, grandbearents) enjoying their retirement in Florida, but missing their family across the pond. After a rather sad montage involving frozen turkey dinners, the two make a spontaneous decision that will leave you in tears. Watch it above and prepare for waterworks accordingly.

8 Adorable Ways to Announce Your Pregnancy in the Winter
Most people aren't the human equivalents of sunshine and rainbows in the Winter beyond the December holidays - come March, they're cold, they haven't seen the sun in months, and they've shoveled enough snow for a lifetime.

5 Nonnegotiable Rules I'm Giving My Kids' Grandparents About Christmas Gifts This Year
The other day, I walked into my daughter's playroom. It's full of shelves, baskets, and bins that are stuffed with crap, and there was stuff strewn all over the floor. Normally, I'd make a mental note to remind her to clean it up after school, but I didn't. Instead, I cleaned it. And by cleaned it, I mean I went through it with a trash bag and threw in everything that hasn't been played with for as long as I can remember. I'll hang on to those bags for a little while to make sure she doesn't ask where something went, but the odds of that happening are slim. And when she doesn't ask, I'm donating them. Bottom line: she has too much stuff that she doesn't need, most of which came from her grandparents. And with Christmas coming, I'm putting an end to it before it gets worse.
My parents are the worst offenders when it comes to gift giving. My family has always gone all out for Christmas. We decorate on Nov. 1, the Christmas music plays on repeat in our house, and my parents take the mentality "it's better to give than to receive" quite literally. They just give too damn much. And while it's great they can and want to do that, I'm drawing a line in the sand - er, snow. Now that we have three children, it's time to set some nonnegotiable holiday rules for my kids' grandparents. Keep reading to see them all now.

These Doggies Sitting on Santa's Lap Are Definitely on the Nice List!
Our dogs do a million and one things throughout the year that make us crazy - they're born troublemakers - but every dog owner knows that there's no such thing as a pupper on the Naughty List, no matter how bad they may have been. It doesn't matter if they chewed up your slippers, TPd your bathroom, peed on every carpet in the house, or jumped onto the dinner table and ate an entire plate of chicken cutlets (that one might be from personal experience); your dog is your precious, sweet, adorable little baby who can do no wrong even when they do wrong.
And based on the following ridiculously cute photos of pooches, it looks like Santa, the keeper of the Nice and Naughty Lists, would have to agree. We can't decide who's cuter in these pictures - Santa or the pups (OK, obviously the doggos).
25 Hysterical Holiday Card Photo Fails That Probably Look Just Like Yours
You picked out the matching pajamas or outfits, you've got Santa hats, bows, and reindeer ear accessories, and you even set up your Christmas decorations early and wrapped some presents to set the scene. You're all ready for your family's holiday card photo, but you'll be damned if your kids ever will be. Although the thought of a polished family photo is one most parents dream of, and at one point in their parenting life may even truly believe is attainable, we all know it's a lot more complicated than that; it's nearly impossible to make kids be merry on command.
Whether their kids freaked out on Santa's lap, refused to be happy in clothes that matched their siblings, or just straight-up felt like crying hysterically at absolutely nothing, the following parents admitted defeat and sent their yearly cards out featuring less-than-perfect photos of them and their grumpy kids - and we 100 percent support this for their sanity and our laughs.
This Couple's "Rainbow"-Themed Wedding Has a Sweet Backstory - and Check Out the Bridesmaids!
When Ben and Michael were ready to say "I do," they went all out and planned a gorgeous wedding that incorporated their love story in a totally unique way. You see, the pair picked out five songs, each encapsulating a significant period in their relationship, starting with Lady Gaga's "LoveGame" and ending with Kesha's "Rainbow." Here's their love-story playlist:
"LoveGame" by Lady Gaga: "Cupid played a game that would take five years in the making. After two years, Cupid decided to shoot an arrow at a concert in Houston, TX, featuring Lady Gaga. We had just begun talking via OkCupid, and our future maid-of-honor pushed us into trading numbers, which led to our first date."
"Yoü and I" by Lady Gaga: "Like most first dates, we both were a little awkward until we both expressed our mutual love for music and how it brings a smile to your face even when having a bad day. Our dates continued, ranging from picnics on the floor of a college dorm room to the floor of our first apartment together and eventually to the picnic where the proposal occurred."
"Don't Stop Believing" by Glee Cast: "On June 27, 2015, the United States Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage. What we once thought would never be suddenly became a reality. It was a birthday present for both of us as we celebrated at Houston Pride."
"Welcome to New York" by Taylor Swift: "With the debut of The Great Gatsby, the concept of elegance and love was an eye-opening idea of exactly how we wanted to plan our wedding."
If you're already swooning, then brace yourself, because the reason they chose Kesha's "Rainbow" to be the song that represents their wedding day is absolutely touching:
"Six years after Cupid played his game, we came together with family, friends, and loved ones [in Boerne, TX]. Just as God places rainbows in the sky so we may see the beauty of all [the] colors after a storm, we were granted our own rainbow. Now we look to the sky without any limit and seek the good things in life."
The two also incorporated the rainbow in their bridesmaids' dresses. Each ombre gown was dyed with a specific color from the rainbow, so when they all stood together, they made a perfect rainbow. These intricate details combined with photographer Shelly Beck's fantastic artistic eye led to breathtaking wedding photos.
See the amazing pictures from their wedding ahead!
Um, I'm Pretty Sure "Game of Phones" Will Be My New Favorite Party Activity
If everyone's going to have their phone at a party, why not make a game out of it, right? That's the idea behind Game of Phones ($20), a clever card game and scavenger hunt of sorts.

Or: "Most cracked screen wins this card." For even more prompts, you can buy expansion sets for $5, including a Creative Pack ("Write a reply in a message thread that you would never send") and the Materialism Pack ("Find a product released in the decade you were born"), which is exclusive to Uncommon Goods.

These Groomsmen Parodied Their Friend's Engagement Shoot and the Photos Are Hilarious
Engagement photo shoots have become an all-too-common form of celebration for newly engaged couples in recent years, but there are some people who still don't quite understand the hype. Take Paul Campbell and Andy Gray, for example. The two friends recently had the pleasure of serving as groomsmen in their best friend's dreamy California wedding, and in doing so, they chose to honor the bride and groom by hilariously recreating their engagement photos.
Ashley and Rob Harrison held their wedding ceremony in October in San Juan Capistrano, CA. Rob, a Los Angeles soccer coach from England, flew Paul, Andy, and a few others to the states to be his groomsmen. According to Tony Wodarck, the photographer that the couple hired to take their engagement photos, Paul and Andy were pretty intrigued at the thought of couples having engagement shoots, since it apparently isn't too common where they reside.
"During the toasts (roasts) the two best men, Paul and Andy, spoke about how different America is from England - like the fact we do engagement photos," Wodarck told POPSUGAR. That's when the men revealed their silly recreation of the photo shoot.
"They proceeded to click through my photo first, then their recreation," Wodarck said. "Until they got to the last one. Where they were like 'I mean come on, this is so intimate, we obviously weren't going to kiss,' then flipped to the last photo of them kissing." Read ahead if you want to get a quick laugh from Paul and Andy's hilarious pics.

The Fires Devastating Both Northern and Southern California Are Truly Haunting
Californians are experiencing the harrowing impact of ravaging wildfires in both northern and southern parts of the state, forcing more than 300,000 residents to evacuate. According to The Washington Post, the Camp Fire near the Sierra Nevada foothills is the most destructive wildfire in the state's history - and the third deadliest, claiming 23 lives.

After releasing a 5-pound Harvest Spice Cheesecake and continuing its reign of seasonal desserts with its annual 4-pound pumpkin pie, Costco is back at it again - but this time, the grocery gods are taking their dessert talents into the frozen section. Spotted by Costco-aficionado costcobuys on Instagram, a nearly 3-pound chocolate chunk Colossal Cookie has hit stores, and its perfect for girls' night, Thanksgiving dessert, or even a late-night treat.
For just $8, you get two chocolate chunk-filled cookies, which some have aptly described as "dangerous." Costco-lovers have taken to the comments to express their excitement over the "colossal" dessert, with one person even saying, "They had samples at my store last week and it's EVERYTHING! 🙌🏻." Others added, "I am boggled. And I need it in my belly now ❤️" and "OH MY GOD FAV THIS LOOKS INSANE."
Check the frozen section at your local Costco, and prepare to go crazy over the oozing chocolatey treat. (Pro tip: top it off with ice cream, and then it will really be colossal.)

This Couple's "Rainbow"-Themed Wedding Has a Sweet Backstory - and Check Out the Bridesmaids!
When Ben and Michael were ready to say "I do," they went all out and planned a gorgeous wedding that incorporated their love story in a totally unique way. You see, the pair picked out five songs, each encapsulating a significant period in their relationship, starting with Lady Gaga's "LoveGame" and ending with Kesha's "Rainbow." Here's their love-story playlist:
"LoveGame" by Lady Gaga: "Cupid played a game that would take five years in the making. After two years, Cupid decided to shoot an arrow at a concert in Houston, TX, featuring Lady Gaga. We had just begun talking via OkCupid, and our future maid-of-honor pushed us into trading numbers, which led to our first date."
"Yoü and I" by Lady Gaga: "Like most first dates, we both were a little awkward until we both expressed our mutual love for music and how it brings a smile to your face even when having a bad day. Our dates continued, ranging from picnics on the floor of a college dorm room to the floor of our first apartment together and eventually to the picnic where the proposal occurred."
"Don't Stop Believing" by Glee Cast: "On June 27, 2015, the United States Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage. What we once thought would never be suddenly became a reality. It was a birthday present for both of us as we celebrated at Houston Pride."
"Welcome to New York" by Taylor Swift: "With the debut of The Great Gatsby, the concept of elegance and love was an eye-opening idea of exactly how we wanted to plan our wedding."
If you're already swooning, then brace yourself, because the reason they chose Kesha's "Rainbow" to be the song that represents their wedding day is absolutely touching:
"Six years after Cupid played his game, we came together with family, friends, and loved ones [in Boerne, TX]. Just as God places rainbows in the sky so we may see the beauty of all [the] colors after a storm, we were granted our own rainbow. Now we look to the sky without any limit and seek the good things in life."
The two also incorporated the rainbow in their bridesmaids' dresses. Each ombre gown was dyed with a specific color from the rainbow, so when they all stood together, they made a perfect rainbow. These intricate details combined with photographer Shelly Beck's fantastic artistic eye led to breathtaking wedding photos.

Um, I'm Pretty Sure "Game of Phones" Will Be My New Favorite Party Activity
If everyone's going to have their phone at a party, why not make a game out of it, right? That's the idea behind Game of Phones ($20), a clever card game and scavenger hunt of sorts. The deck comes with 100 cards featuring funny, creative prompts for the group. Think: "Send a message to your parents. First reply wins." Or: "Create an emoji masterpiece." Or: "Most cracked screen wins this card." For even more prompts, you can buy expansion sets for $5, including a Creative Pack ("Write a reply in a message thread that you would never send") and the Materialism Pack ("Find a product released in the decade you were born"), which is exclusive to Uncommon Goods. The Game of Phones would make a great stocking stuffer for just about anyone - a friend, a sibling, even that teenage cousin who's impossible to buy for.
Check out more details about the game below, then shop more stocking stuffers, including fun picks for Game of Thrones fans.

The Fires Devastating Both Northern and Southern California Are Truly Haunting
Californians are experiencing the harrowing impact of ravaging wildfires in both northern and southern parts of the state, forcing more than 300,000 residents to evacuate.
