Try to Keep Up With Kourtney Kardashian's Massive Designer Bag Collection
Kourtney Kardashian's handbag collection is, in a word, extensive. The eldest of America's most famous sisters has no shortage of designer duds at her disposal - and the same clearly goes for her arm candy. Seemingly every time she steps out, Kourtney is toting a bag from high-end hitmakers like Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, and Fendi.
Kourtney's style is arguably the least over-the-top, compared to the rest of her siblings: she keeps it sexy but (mostly) wearable and carries handbags that veer on that same sleek and classic-meets-trendy side, often repeating her favorites. And aside from travel gear, she clearly prefers styles that are small to mini size. Whether a member of her entourage is carrying all her extra stuff or she manages to fit it all into her teeny purses, we may never know. What we do know: you're going to want to scroll through Kourtney's enviable assortment of bags ahead and shop some of her best investments for yourself.

Hailey Is So Bieber Right Now, She's Even Starting to Dress Like Him
It seems like Hailey Baldwin's (or, should we say Bieber?) name change on Instagram is all anyone can talk about. The couple, who confirmed they got married in mid-October, seems to be so in sync, we're nearly jealous. It's not just about their adorable posts and the quotes they give about each other, but their street style, which aligns more and more every day.
When Hailey stepped out in NYC following her famous handle tweak, we immediately saw "Justin" in the way she was wearing her TRE by Natalie Ratabesi trousers, slouchy and low, capped off with sneakers, not high heels. Hailey kept things completely neutral, working an Aritzia sweater, Maison Margiela trench, and Jennifer Fisher hoops, but those pants spoke loud and proud.
The hip slung look is definitely sticking around, and we have proof below that Justin and Hailey support you investing in cool khaki slacks like theirs. Just make sure you finish them with trainers, OK?

Somehow, Kendall Jenner Has Upped Her Bikinigram Game Even More in 2018
Kendall Jenner is no stranger to the swimsuit life - the girl likes to show some skin and share it with the rest of the world (or at least the Instagram world). Whether she's jet-setting with her crew of bikini-loving model pals like Bella Hadid and Hailey Baldwin or she's just lounging on the grass all by her lonesome, Jenner never misses an opportunity to show off her bathing suit bod.

11 Blair Waldorf Quotes to Live By
Sure, Serena van der Woodsen may have had that tall, blond, Blake Lively thing going on, but if you ask us, Blair Waldorf was always Gossip Girl's real leading lady. Queen B didn't just dream herself into our favorite films, have one of the craziest will-they-or-won't-they relationships of all time, and pull off a headband better than most 5-year-olds. She was also full of wisdom, especially when it came to fashion.
Which is why we're looking back at a few of this character's best style quotes. Sure, the show may have ended in 2012, but Blair's wise words will live on in our hearts - and, OK, Netflix queues - forever.

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.

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.

There's a Reason Taylor Swift Swears by These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Back in 2014, Taylor Swift basically broke the internet by joining Tumblr and responding to diehard fans' questions.

Centering My Holiday Celebrations Around This 1 Thing Has Made All the Difference
I'm not a fan of the New York City cold and what the streets look like the day after it has snowed, but I do love the warmth you feel in the air when you walk past a holiday market selling hot cider. Or how the city that's always rushing to get from one place to another suddenly moves slower - thousands of people crowding around Rockefeller Center, the holiday window displays at Macy's, the carols that play in every store you walk into, and the abundance of holiday decorations.
Whenever I remember what the holidays were like growing up, I can't help but think about turkey, ponche, Santa Claus, grapes, 12 wishes, and getting to stay up past my bedtime on Christmas and New Year's Eve. We had numerous calendars with Xs crossing out the days until the next holiday, and we made constant trips to stores, adding new decorations to the house every week. And while I still look forward to doing all those things, over the years, I've spent less time thinking about what I'd be receiving and more about who I'd be spending those days with.
Over the years, I've spent less time thinking about what I'd be receiving and more about who I'd be spending those days with.
After losing an uncle and my grandmother during the same holiday season a few years back, I've learned to spend more time being thankful for what the year has brought me and to be more appreciative of the stories that my parents and relatives like to tell during our holiday parties. Each year, I learn something new about a family member, which has helped me learn more about myself, too. I've learned to give without expecting anything in return, that a little help to those in need goes a long way, and that baking with love makes all the difference.
I've also shifted my focus to charitable work, checking my privilege and using my free time to volunteer at homeless shelters and thrift stores with a mission, like Housing Works, and playing Santa Claus by participating in programs that send new toys to kids in need.
Now that I have a daughter, starting new traditions and continuing old ones is my main priority. I have nothing but good holiday memories, and I want the same for my daughter. Thankfully, she loves the holidays as much as I do and asks to go apple and pumpkin picking, helps me mix ingredients when I bake, puts up decorations with me, and tries to wrap presents on her own. Although, we're still working on getting that perfect picture with Santa.
As she continues to grow, I'd like for our holiday season to continue being centered on empathy. To know that we have the option of choosing not to focus on material things is a huge privilege, and it's one we have to appreciate and honor by doing good for others. Of course, it isn't enough to do good during the holidays, but hopefully the good one does builds enough momentum to find them doing good deeds well into the new year.

If Losing Your Phone and Being Forced to Give Up Social Media Sounds Like a Horror Story, Read This
I didn't quit social media on purpose, though I've read plenty of stories about why taking a break might be a good idea. As a type-A person who is admittedly addicted to checking email and staying in the loop - not only when it comes to my friend circle but also with news related to my job as an editor - I brushed the idea aside. "I'll try deleting Instagram the next time I go on vacation," I lied to myself. The most tuned out I have ever been is on a recent trip to Disney World with my family, where I decided to give up clicking through every single Instagram Story at the top of my feed (like I usually do) mostly just to conserve battery life.
But when I lost my phone in the first East Coast snowstorm of the season, Instagram Stories quickly became a distant memory. There were blizzard-like conditions in Newark, NJ, and I was in an Uber trying to get to my boyfriend's office so we could drive to Atlantic City for the weekend. The hotel room was booked, dinner reservations were secured at one of the hardest Italian restaurants to get into, and I had my outfits picked out. It was a done deal! I had to get to him. When traffic came to a standstill and my Uber driver got us into a jam, he suggested I gather my things and get out and run to Joey, who was just a few blocks away in his own car.
I carefully tucked away my purse into my duffel bag and slipped my phone into my pocket, knowing I'd need it to contact Joey when I got close. As I hopped out of the car, my phone must have fallen in the snow, and I didn't realize it was gone until I heard someone shouting my name from across the street. In that moment, as I was soaking wet from the storm and coming to the realization that I had been sprinting through a dangerous area with no tracking device, all I cared about was getting to Joey. Screw the phone.
Once I was in Joey's truck, we used Find My Friends to track my phone and found that someone had picked it up already. A few unanswered calls confirmed I was not getting it back. Knowing the type of person I am, and the fact that I stared at my screen more than I did him during the first few months of our relationship, Joey was probably shocked at how little I panicked. The weather was so bad, and we felt so overwhelmed and angry at our poor luck, that we tried to turn the car home and skip our mini vacation. But the only way traffic was moving was south, and it would take hours to travel north toward our apartment. We decided to head down the shore and make the best of our long weekend. The anticipation of four days without social media set in with every mile.
What I didn't anticipate was how positive the experience would be; seriously, I ended up enjoying one of the best days of my life. Here are all the things that changed for the better in my case and the one thing I decided about my future relationship with my phone.

Made Too Many Cookies? Here's How to Properly Freeze Them
The holiday season is really the most wonderful time of the year. Apart from time off from work and school, gifts, and Christmas carols, one of the best things about the holidays is all the baked goods! Whether you're a seasoned pro at baking or just starting out, baking is a time-consuming process that I know I wish would sometimes speed up. That's why it's so important to learn how to properly freeze the cookies you'll be baking this holiday season. Learning this trick will ensure that you always have a batch of delicious cookies ready to warm up for unexpected holiday guests or ready to give to any coworkers or teachers.
The best kind of cookies to freeze are cutouts, icebox, and drop cookies, but try to avoid freezing cookies that are decorated or filled. And if you're planning on freezing chocolate-coated cookies, just keep in mind that even though they'll taste fine after thawing, they may have a white-colored haze on them afterwards that might not look as appealing. Here's how to properly freeze cookies so they taste (and look) as good as they did right out of the oven.

How to Carve a Turkey, in Pictures
You've grilled, braised, or roasted up a beauty of a bird, but now what? While carving a turkey might seem daunting the first go-round, all it takes is a little know-how and practice (it gets easier every time!) to carve and plate a turkey worthy of centerpiece status.
P.S. Don't forget to show off the intact bird before you dig in, but carve it up in the kitchen (rather than table-side) to avoid prying eyes, all the pressure, and contain any potential mess.
Sally Hansen's New Crayola Line Is Like a Box of Glittery Crayons For Your Nails
Remember the days when showing up to school with the 64-pack of crayons made you feel on top of the world? You may be far past the age of ever having that kind of satisfaction again, but if you're in the mood to feel like a kid again, Sally Hansen is here to help. The brand teamed up with Crayola to add 12 new, metallic colors to its Insta-Dri nail polish collection, so now you can wear some of your favorite crayon colors on your fingertips.
Like 2017's Back to School Collection that the two brands first collaborated on, each shade in the Sally Hansen x Crayola Glam Rock range, as it's called, is inspired by a classic crayon color from the glitter pack. That means that customers interested in purchasing any of the 12 shades will find colors like Razzmic Berry, a shimmery, blue-tinged raspberry color, Big Dip O'Ruby, a sparkly red, and Metallic Seaweed, a shiny teal hue, among others. The Insta-Dri Glam Rock collection is available to shop in drugstores nationwide at $4.99 a bottle, and will be available on Amazon at the end of November.

How to Depuff Your Face After Eating Alllll the Thanksgiving Food This Weekend
Thanksgiving is all fun and gravy until dinner is over and you're left with nothing but a puffy face and a relative who's screaming expletives at a football referee on TV. Yep!

The Brilliant Makeup Trick Meghan Markle Always Does but No One Has Noticed
As we've watched her transition from TV actress to member of the royal family, one thing's become very clear: Meghan Markle has plenty of beauty tricks up her sleeve. Some she's borrowed from Princess Diana and Kate Middleton, and some she's established herself.
The Duchess of Sussex is known for her signature messy bun and a good dose of bronzer, but she also has a lip liner trick that you've probably never even noticed. Overlining the lips is nothing new, and the technique often gets a bad rap (thank you, the '90s), but recently the trick has been used in a far less obvious way, to make lips appear fuller without adding color. Markle has been doing this so subtly that it's barely noticeable, which makes all the difference in maintaining a natural finish. We asked celebrity makeup artist Nikki Wolff to share how to make lips look naturally fuller using liner at home, so keep reading to get all her top tips, and see all the photos of Markle making it look easy.
No Bath Tub? No Problem - Lush Is Launching a Brand New Line of Shower Bombs
I'm sure you already have a detailed list of deals and discounts you're planning to take advantage of once Turkey Day is officially over, but what I'm about to tell you is just too important to go unnoticed. In case you missed it, Lush is launching an all-new collection on the morning of Black Friday, so you may want to adjust your day-after-Thanksgiving plans and scurry on over to the nearest location!
Lush Moods is a new range of mood-transforming shower and bath products made with what the brand calls "the finest essential oils." The collection includes bath bombs, mouthwash tabs, a new bubble spinner, Naked Body conditioner, Vanillary body spray, and the most exciting offering of them all: shower bombs. According to a product description, a Shower Bomb is essentially like a bath-bomb-meets-soap - just take it into the shower with you and let it foam up before smoothing it over your entire body. It's perfect for anyone experiencing the FOMO of not having a bath tub. I don't know about you, but I'm already prepared to throw 10 of these in my cart. There's only one caveat: though the collection will officially be available on Black Friday, it isn't being offered at a discounted rate.

You Won't Believe What Went Into Creating the Whimsical Hairstyles For The Nutcracker
Whether or not you've seen The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, you'll no doubt have noticed the character's vibrant and unique hairstyles. During an immersive dinner with Disney to celebrate The Nutcracker, I quizzed the film's leading actress, Mackenzie Foy, on all things hair and makeup, and it turns out a lot more went into those hairstyles than it seems.
When it comes to makeup, Foy told me she didn't wear much makeup in the film - just a little concealer and blush - due to the Victorian time period. However, minimal beauty was pushed aside when it came to the land of the Four Realms, as stepping into their world came with equally fantastic hair and costume. Foy said curling her hair would take an hour and a half to two hours, so she would braid her hair in the morning beforehand so it could easily be put into a bun by the hairstylists. However, for the pageant, Foy explained, "they actually wrapped my hair around wires," which was twisted up with ribbons and pearls as embellishment. Talk about commitment to getting that updo right.
As for the Sugar Plum Fairy, played by Keira Knightley, the hair absolutely made the character. Misty Copeland, principal dancer with the American Ballet Theatre, said the beauty department at first toyed with the idea of making Knightley's wig out of pure candy floss but quickly realized that just wasn't possible. So instead, they settled on a candy pink wig with pieces of candy floss slotted throughout so Knightley could easily give the impression that the Sugar Plum Fairy was eating her own hair.

Kate Middleton Raided Her Mom's Gift Decoration Box For Her Hair, and We Love It
There aren't many times Kate Middleton has stepped out and we haven't had hair envy - after all, she's got more best hair moments than we can keep up with. But on Wednesday, she might have topped all of those moments by giving us serious holiday hair inspiration. The duchess wore her hair in a ponytail with voluminous waves and a velvet black bow.
The mom-of-three generally likes to keep her style and beauty simple to adhere to royal protocol. She follows Princess Diana's process and gets very minor haircuts, which Meghan Markle has started doing, too, and you'll never see her with anything but a neutral nail polish color. However, she uses accessories to embellish and even transform her looks. For this occasion, it looks like she's dug into her holiday decoration box and pulled out one of the buzziest trends. It also looks like she and Meghan Markle might have taken tips from each other, with the Duchess of Sussex sporting a no-fuss pony on the same day.
Ahead, see every angle of her ponytail, and get ready to bookmark these photos for inspiration for your holiday parties.

My Face Has Never Felt Cleaner Than After I Tried This New Cleansing Duo
When I was growing up, all I wanted was to be squeaky clean. I shampooed my hair until I could hear the strands between my fingers, and I washed my face until my cheeks sounded like a squeegee on a shower door. Years later, I've found a product that replicates that feeling - sans the drying ingredients I was likely slathering onto my body each day.
The Cleansing Duo ($68) is the first and only (so far) product from Then I Met You, a new line by Soko Glam founder Charlotte Cho. After years of curating the best Korean beauty products, Cho set out to create something that would bring together everything she'd learned about skin care. Combining naturally good-for-you ingredients, the result is a two-step process that starts with an oil-based balm ($38) packed with olive oil, grape seed oil, and vitamin E, and ends with a licorice root and green tea gel cleanser ($36).
If you're familiar with double cleansing, then you know the drill: the first product sweeps away all the surface grime (makeup, dirt accrued during the day, etc.) while the second step is meant to penetrate deeper, cleaning out gunky pores and hydrating skin. Then I Met You's Cleansing Duo meets the basic requirements, but goes beyond what's expected.
The sunny yellow balm comes with a tiny tool - which I may or may not have accidentally thrown away - to scoop out the solid product. Once you rub it in your hands, it melts into a liquid, taking all the makeup and sunscreen on your face with it. I try to massage it around for at least a minute - not a hard task, since it smells like rosemary and grapefruit. If I were lazier, I might just stop there . . . but I want that squeaky-clean feeling.
The gel cleanser feels thick and heavy, but becomes malleable when mixed with warm water. Ever so slightly sudsy, it provides me with the satisfaction that I truly am becoming as clean (and hydrated!) as possible. The green tea and tea tree leaf calm my skin, while rice ferment filtrate brightens my complexion.
The one-two punch is exactly what my skin needs at the end of the day, and it's gentle enough to use in the morning, as well. If this is just the beginning of Then I Met You, I can't wait to see what comes next.
This $10 Leave-In Spray Is My New Go-To For Healthier Hair
The John Frieda Day Two Curl Reset Spray ($10) is my new go-to styling product for longer, less damaged hair.
Since I chopped my hair into a very short, asymmetrical bob two years ago, I've been on a mission to grow it back to waist length (the way I've worn it for most of my life). That means less heat styling and looser ponytails. I've been air-drying my wavy hair with leave-in creams that nourish and define my random patterns of curls and kinks, but since my texture does need richer formulas, I sometimes use too much when styling, making my hair look greasy.
It's hard to go overboard using the Day Two Curl Reset Spray. The nozzle dispenses a fine spritz that's easy to control. Once it coats hair, it never feels too rich and instead leaves hair feeling soft and moisturized, with no oily residue. When I first tested it, I sprayed it from root to end, then tied my hair into a loose, low knot with a velvet scrunchie (for less tug). Once I felt the product had dried, I dismantled the knot.
I was shocked to see how the spray, as fine and lightweight as it was, held my hair into beautiful waves. They were the kind of waves that looked like they were professionally heat-styled with a reverse-tapered curling wand (tighter at the top and feathering out toward the bottom) or like they belonged to a mermaid.
No heat was involved in the creation of this hairdo, cutting out a lot of stress that would make my hair break and keep me from my end goal of 1970s Cher-length hair. An added bonus: the blend of nourishing oils (acai and avocado) that defrizz and calm.
The entire John Frieda Day Two Revival Hair collection is available while supplies last on Amazon.com until its official launch in January 2019.
