Lea Michele's Styling Hack For a Winter Wedding Isn't Just Chic, It's Warm
Lea Michele's wardrobe may be a tad sexier than that of her Glee alter ego, Rachel Berry, but that's not to say the two haven't shared a styling hack or two - especially when the occasion calls for it. Attending the wedding of good pal and old costar Becca Tobin, Lea showed up in a dress that was silky, red, and pretty revealing. But it wasn't the Switch Boutique number that gave us flashbacks of the show: it was the polished, collared jacket she wore over it, aiming to keep warm in the Wyoming snow.
Rachel, too, happened to be a lover of layers, completing outfits with cardigans and blazers, giving them that extra bit of flair. And while Lea's topper wasn't nearly as bright or colorful as her character's picks, we still count it as a subtle, and likely subconscious, nod - not to mention a genius tip for Winter weddings.
Scroll through to see Lea's guest look in full, including her Rubeus Milano clutch, then shop a jacket option to layer over fancy looks during wedding season and the holidays, too.

The Fashion Girl's Guide to Wearing Leggings to Work
You've worn leggings to the gym and while out running errands, but to the office, that's always been a different story - until now. While many women may shy away from rocking this cozy staple at the workplace, it actually makes for a genius look for the office.

These 23 street style looks are ideal for re-creating - and rocking from 9-to-5 - as long as your office dress code allows it. Just scroll for a little refresher on how to rock leggings IRL and ITO (in the office)!
Does Melania Trump Have What It Takes to Master First Lady Style?
Image Source: Getty / JEWEL SAMAD
When I woke up the morning after Election Day to find that Donald Trump would be the next president of the United States, I cried. Then I signed online and covered the latest Instagram trend: DIY crop tops made from an old pair of tights. Then, obviously, I cried some more. I had just witnessed one of the most heartbreaking and important elections in history, at least in my opinion. How did I muster the strength to write about a passing fashion trend on a day like that?
After that, it was admittedly hard to keep working. I talked to my sister, who also felt devastated, and I texted my boyfriend, who is one of those people who, political views aside, always reassures me I am worrying before I need to be. Then Hillary Clinton gave her concession speech wearing a purple-lapeled Ralph Lauren blazer, and instantly, I was inspired to write again. She was most likely wearing that shade because it was a blend of red and blue, the Republican and Democratic parties unifying right there on her outfit.
I don't think that Hillary's pantsuit was more important than the powerful words she spoke, a recognition of defeat but a promise she won't stop fighting for women, minorities, and our nation's progress. I do think that Hillary hammered her point home with that blazer, and in that moment, I felt it my duty to explain why. For the time it took me to crank out that post, my job had purpose again.
Every time I have written about Michelle Obama's dresses, since I began my career as a fashion editor, I have felt a sense of pride. It has been remarkable to track Michelle's style during her time in the White House, watching her thoughtfully support American designers with each appearance.
Image Source: Getty / Chip Somodevilla
I don't think she started to wear Brandon Maxwell (he dressed her for the Singapore state dinner and for the cover of InStyle) because he was Lady Gaga's stylist. I don't think Michelle was trying to resonate with pop culture, but rather to rally behind new art and its artists.
With every outfit choice Michelle makes, she tells a story. Michelle rotates between her favorite London fashion houses when she's in the UK, and she wore a Narciso Rodriguez dress to meet with Melania Trump for the first time. First, because Rodriguez is a Cuban-American designer whose family came to the country before he made a name for himself; an immigrant's success story like those Michelle and the Obama administration have often championed. Second, I'm sure, for its color palette: a purple dress, again marrying blue and red, but with a fiery orange stripe, a blaring, shocking wink: "Melania, can you handle this?"
Image Source: Pacific Coast News
But Melania can handle this. She has been in the public eye for many years, and when CBS's Lesley Stahl stared her down during the Trump family's 60 Minutes interview, warning her that first ladies have been famously scrutinized and that they must present themselves "with not a hair out of place," Melania didn't bat an eyelash. Throughout the entirety of her husband's campaign, Melania has worn a lineup of sophisticated looks that are nothing short of appropriate. They are what you'd call modern FLOTUS attire: well-tailored, modest, sleek, but with a bold twist thanks to an ultrasaturated color or a trendy sleeve.
Image Source: Getty / DOMINICK REUTER
These pieces got her noticed; these pieces sold out instantly, right after she debuted them. Melania already possesses the allure of a first lady. It might even be more uniquely exciting that Melania is shopping for these looks herself and counts covetable designers like Roksanda, Gucci, and Antonio Berardi as her favorites. Time will tell whether fashion houses begin to dress her (perhaps for the Inaugural Ball), but if they choose not to, I don't think any woman in America, Democrat or Republican, will knock her gown.
Image Source: Getty / AFP
What I will miss, ultimately, is a lady like Michelle, and maybe even one like Hillary, who uses her clothes to tell a story or to convey a mood. Throughout her period in the White House, Michelle mixed high and low. She wore a J.Crew studded belt with a long Thom Browne plaid coat because it was fun and it felt right, and she was learning about what she liked.
Once she did, she selected designs that did all the right things: they flattered her figure by showing off her toned arms or they recognized the holiday season with the mixing of two festive colors. They purposefully showed support for certain cultures or countries. Michelle's outfits did not always look perfect. Sometimes her skirt blew up in the wind or she had to fight a hair out of place. But Michelle's outfits were fairly thought out, brave, bold, and irrefutably American. Melania, are you ready?

Kim Kardashian Hit 10 Big Style Home Runs in 2016
Kim Kardashian's most memorable looks are, of course, sexy. How could she show off her signature style without baring, at the very least, a slip of skin? It's so obvious that Kim feels most comfortable when jaws are dropping to the floor and she's managing to shock the press, the paparazzi, or fellow celebrities. What we love most is when she pulls this off tastefully, choosing well-tailored pieces that flatter her famous curves or even her baby bump.
This year alone, we saw 10 such outfits from Mrs. Karadashian-West. She set trends in motion when she was on the street and delightfully surprised us in vintage silhouettes on the red carpet. Read on for a roundup of ensembles designed by Galliano, Olivier Rousteing at Balmain, and Givenchy, but made iconic thanks to Kim's confidence when wearing them.
Hot or Cold? The Benefits of Both Kinds of Showers
Showering is an essential part of a healthy routine, but depending on the temperature, your time spent under the water can offer different benefits. Whether you like it hot or prefer it cold, learn how your showering routine can affect your health. After reading, you might rethink which way you turn the dial.
Some Like It Hot
- Hot showers can relieve tension and soothe stiff muscles. If you have a powerful showerhead, even better! Let the hot water work like a minimassage on your shoulders, neck, and back.
- Studies have shown that taking a hot shower can amp up your oxytocin levels and ease anxiety. Anyone working with stress can use more of the love hormone in their life!
- A hot shower also acts as a natural decongestant to relieve cold symptoms, since the hot steam moisturizes nasal passages.
Some Like It Cold
- Cold showers - as unbearable as they are - are actually really good for our bodies! Turning your shower cold for the last five minutes can help "shock" your body awake. This instant change in temperature relieves your body of fatigue and increases your mental alertness.
- A "cooler" shower (around 68 degrees) for two to three minutes once or twice daily is recommended by researchers as a treatment for depression. Just make sure you check in with your doctor before testing this out!
- On the more vain side of the spectrum, cold showers are better for our hair and skin. Where a hot shower can dry things out, cold showers hydrate and help with split ends and dry skin.

Bryce Dallas Howard’s Critics Choice Dress Cost Under $300 - and You Can’t Even Tell
When Bryce Dallas Howard stepped out at this year's Critics' Choice Awards, our first thought was, quite literally, "Whoa." Her chartreuse colored gown was a lighter, brighter design in a sea full of dark colors, and its black trim and plunging neckline made it all the more stunning. If Bryce had said it had cost her thousands, we'd believe it. But instead, we gasped when she revealed the true price tag: $250.
The affordable, chic Topshop number isn't even the only time Bryce admitted to amazing shopping skills. Back at the 2016 Golden Globes, she said she bought look at Neiman Marcus. Scroll through for a better view at Bryce's dress in full - something we wouldn't feel guilty purchasing ourselves. Then check out the accessories from this year's show.
Lily Collins Looks Like a Sexy Vampire at the 2017 Critics' Choice Awards
We already called that red eye shadow would be the fiercest holiday makeup trend this season, and at the 2017 Critics' Choice Awards, Lily Collins proved it to be true. The actress complemented her victorian-inspired Elie Saab Haute Couture gown with monochromatic ruby makeup.
Lily's eyes were dolled up with red shadow, smoked and smudged out in a wing shape. Her pale skin looked matte except for a light dusting of brick across her cheekbones. And her lips were painted with a dramatic ombre deep red lip that matched her eye makeup. The rich, warm shade looked gorgeous against her famous, lush eyebrows.
Because Lily's makeup was such a statement, her unfussy hair juxtaposed it. She wore her brunette strands in a casual chignon, with pieces effortlessly falling around her face.

Lily Collins Didn't Wear the Typical Red Carpet Gown to the Critics' Choice Awards - It's Better
You know that one style moment on the red carpet that gets everyone talking? Well, we have Lily Collins to thank for that conversation when she appeared at the Critics' Choice Awards wearing an Elie Saab Haute Couture gown. The lacy sheer number featured billowy sleeves with embroidered crystals and a victorian-inspired neckline.
While the dress could be described as romantic and pretty, we think Lily brought some edge and gothic vibes to the design with her vampy makeup. The actress basically looked like she stepped out of Twilight, a glamorous vampire if you will. The dress wasn't your typical red carpet gown - and we love it. Read on to see her dress from all angles, including the back, because it's one look you won't want to miss.
Bella Thorne's Just Wore the First Naked Dress of Award Season and It's SO Sexy

We don't think we need to tell you that she stood out on the blue carpet - which was full of deep necklines and this season's trendiest material: velvet. Scroll ahead to see more photos of Bella's hot dress from every angle.

Kylie Jenner Had Her Pick of These 15 Dirrty X-Tina Costumes

Why You Must Clean Your Earbuds ASAP - and How
You probably use your earbuds all day - during your commute to work, work itself, and your commute home. As many times as you pull them in and out of your bag, you probably don't think often enough about keeping them clean. Unsurprisingly, earbuds can transmit bacteria from person to person if they're shared, and in some cases can even cause ear infections. Clearly they need to be kept clean, but what's the best way?
Obviously you can't just toss your earbuds in the dishwasher to clean them. While doing some research, I came across a few suggestions of how to properly clean earbuds. Here's how:
- Use a gentle cleaner, like soap and warm water. No need to go too heavy-duty here; try a mix of dishwashing detergent and water.
- Use a gentle cloth with just a small amount of the soap mixture. Too much soap could leave a residue on your earbuds, and too much water, well that goes without saying.
- If there's a lot of dirt or dust in the metal part of your earbuds, try brushing them with a dry toothbrush to dislodge the dust.
- Some earbuds, like Apple's In-Ear Headphones, come with removable (and replaceable) silicone covers, so try removing them and cleaning those separately.
- Never submerge them in water. You'll damage the wiring. Ditto for running them under the faucet, even for just a second.
- Remember to only clean your earbuds when they're detached from your iPod or other device!

Need proof? Keep scrolling to admire all of Zoe's best outfits so far this year.
Forget the 80/20 Rule! This Trainer Says to Follow the 90/10 Rule to Lose Weight
If this is the year you've committed to finally losing weight and getting in shape, we asked trainer Autumn Calabrese, creator of the 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme fitness and nutrition programs, to share what she thinks is the number one way to finally reach your weight-loss goals.
"The number one thing people need to do to lose weight in 2017 is be consistent. You need to be consistent with your workouts, getting at least 30 minutes of exercise four to five days a week," she said. An easy way to get in the habit is to choose four or five specific days of the week, as well as one specific time, such as Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 6 a.m. Think of these as important appointments you've made with yourself that you cannot skip out on. The first two to three weeks will be the hardest, but once you're used to working out on the same days and times each week, it'll feel weird not to.
Autumn also said, "You also need to be consistent with your healthy eating. That doesn't mean you have to be perfect all the time but you do have to be on top of it. I like the 90/10 rule. I know a lot of people say 80/20, but if you're really trying to lose weight then 90 percent of the time you need to be eating healthy, clean food in the proper portions." Autumn says it's OK to splurge on one cheat meal once a week, but make sure it's a cheat meal, not an entire cheat day. "If you do these two things, work out and eat right consistently, you will lose weight and keep it off." Autumn reminds us that "being healthy is a journey, not a destination."
Forget the 80/20 Rule! This Trainer Says to Follow the 90/10 Rule to Lose Weight
If this is the year you've committed to finally losing weight and getting in shape, we asked trainer Autumn Calabrese, creator of the 21 Day Fix and 21 Day Fix Extreme fitness and nutrition programs, to share what she thinks is the number one way to finally reach your weight-loss goals.
"The number one thing people need to do to lose weight in 2017 is be consistent. You need to be consistent with your workouts, getting at least 30 minutes of exercise four to five days a week," she said. An easy way to get in the habit is to choose four or five specific days of the week, as well as one specific time, such as Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 6 a.m. Think of these as important appointments you've made with yourself that you cannot skip out on.

This New Spider Is Named After Your Favorite Harry Potter House
@jk_rowling We named a spider, after the sorting hat, from the films! :) Meet Eriovixia gryffindori. Link to paper: https://t.co/XpGcCy4TO6 http://pic.twitter.com/Qwf1fid7W7

Our Fantastic Beasts dreams are coming true: first we found out that Nifflers (kind of, sort of) really do exist. Now, a team of researchers in India have discovered a new spider that looks just like - wait for it - the Sorting Hat originally owned by Godric Gryffindor from the Harry Potter films. In honor of its unique shape, the 7-millimeter spider has been named Eriovixia gryffindori.
The suitable name of the spider, which was discovered by researchers Javed Ahmed, Rajashree Khalap, and Sumukha Javagal, was released in The Indian Journal of Arachnology. While speaking with the paper, Ahmed expressed his excitement about the team's latest discovery. "We're excited to have found this new spider whose shape is similar to the magical sorting hat owned by the wizard [Gryffindor]. The discovery was made in Kans forest area of Karnataka," Ahmed revealed.
The spider takes on its leaf-like shape as a way to camouflage itself from predators in the daytime. "As a youngster, I was very fond of reading Harry Potter books. So, when I encountered this tiny spider, I thought of the magical hat," Ahmed said.

This Fierce Woman May Be Pantene's Most Badass Ambassador Yet!
Ronda Rousey is about to school the world that "strong is beautiful." She was just named the newest face of Pantene for her badass attitude, amazing career as an MMA fighter, and, of course, gorgeous beachy blond hair. If she looks extra familiar, it's because she played Turtle's love interest in the Entourage movie.
Though Ronda proved to have some acting skills, she is mainly known for being an Olympic medal-winning professional fighter. In her Pantene ads, which you can watch below, she offers empowering words.
"Don't hate me because I'm strong. Strong is beautiful," she said. "I'm not one without the other. People call me 'Miss Man,' they call me savage. But if you think fierce can't be feminine, I'm about to show you what only a strong woman can do."
She elaborated on this to Vogue.com: "A lot of women out there are just naturally thin, and that doesn't mean that they're not strong in their own ways. Strength is more than just what's physical."
Congrats, Ronda! Also, check out our exclusive behind-the-scenes campaign image of her lustrous hair, below!
16 Reasons Bruno Mars Is Beautiful Just the Way He Is
Bruno Mars has been making us swoon since his debut single, "Just the Way You Are," in 2010. From the moment we first saw him, it's been a nonstop love fest with the Hawaiian native of Puerto Rican descent. Bruno has already proven himself to be a formidable artist in pop culture with catchy songs like "Grenade" and "Uptown Funk" in his musical catalog, but the 31-year-old singer, whose real name is Peter Gene Hernandez, is also proud of his Hispanic heritage, which makes him even hotter in our eyes. Keep reading to see all the reasons Bruno is beautiful just the way he is.
The 12 Lessons You Learn as a Young Girl but Forget as a Mom
As the mom of a daughter, I often think about the big life lessons I want to teach her. In doing so, however, I've discovered that a lot of the important ones I learned as a young girl didn't necessarily make their way to womanhood. They got lost along the way, and now, as a mother, I'm having to relearn them alongside my child.
Here, some of the hallmark lessons I hope and pray she'll remember her whole life long.
1. Trust your instincts.
From a young age, your gut will steer you in a very clear direction. Listen to it. It's your intuition, and nine times out of 10, it's right on. As you get older, though, you might push back against your better judgment - often because someone is trying to sway you, pressure you into a different way of thinking. It's important you don't back down from what you believe in.
2. Take risks . . . but understand the consequences.
Don't be afraid to take a leap. Just be prepared for what happens if you fall.
3. Never let anyone tell you you can't do something.
You might not notice it now, but at some point in your life, you'll begin to think that there's just certain things you can't do - only boys are good at that, only rich kids can have those, only popular girls go there - and it'll quickly become the standard way of thinking if you let it. Don't ever base your actions on the approval of others. You alone call the shots on what you can do.
4. Love freely.
Hearts that don't break don't love. A flower will wither, a beloved pet will get sick, and someday "The One" might not stay. Keep loving just the same.
5. Love your body.
It's the only one you've got. Treat it with respect - feed it healthfully, and it'll grow just as it should. If it's not what you wanted, if someone else's body seems better, get over it.
6. Learning from mistakes is better than being smart.
Natural talent is incredible, it really is. But it's not necessary. Dedication and hard work will get you further in life, and the times you slip up will provide you with more opportunities to develop than when you simply get it right.
7. You can only do your best.
Yes, nothing is worth doing if you don't do your best. But also accept that there will be times when your best won't be good enough. You might try your hardest and still not succeed. Accept defeat, but don't let it keep you from trying again.
8. The world will change you if you let it.
It's no secret that the world is a difficult place. War, starvation, violence, hatred - they can harden the softest, most innocent of souls. Consider these trying times as defining moments, in which you are being tested. Will you let a persistent bully make you angry and afraid, or will you rise above and remember that the world can be a beautiful place, too?
9. Admit when you're wrong.
It can be frustrating to swallow your pride, but the simple words, "I'm sorry" - when expressed genuinely - can work wonders on a damaged friendship.
10. Crying doesn't make you weak.
Denying your emotions is the worst thing you can do, second only to holding on to pain for too long. If you need to cry, do it. Let it out, and then let it go.
11. Time can heal most wounds.
For those terrible things, when a good cry doesn't suffice, know that time - and with it, perspective - can work wonders. You must have patience and an ability to compartmentalize to get through each day. Just remember that some heartache will always stay with you, so you'll have to learn how to live with it.
12. Don't take others too personally . . . or yourself too seriously.
Try not to let criticisms tear you apart just as you shouldn't let compliments go to your head. Don't expect everyone to treat you the way you deserve to be treated. And as important as you are, don't assume that the world revolves around you. Your mother's world might, but she's the exception.

This Bride's Wedding Dress Landed Her in Vogue, but Wait Till You See What the Bridesmaids Wore
It's not every day we peel our eyes away from a stunning wedding dress to "ooh" and "ahh" over what the bridesmaids wore, but looking at photos from Annabelle Caufman Soudavar and Maximilian Moehlmann's big day, that's exactly what happened. While the bride's classic Carolina Herrera was no doubt breathtaking - especially when the lacy, fitted number was paired with a long, dramatic veil - the ladies who stood by her side wore different floral dresses, a fun, trendy choice that simply made us swoon.
Annabelle wanted it this way, though. "I had asked that they all select their own dresses with the direction that they should be pale, romantic, and floral," she told Vogue, which covered the chic East Hampton wedding. "I wanted everyone's individual style to come through, and for my friends to feel beautiful and like themselves."
The choice definitely paid off in the end: everyone looked so stylish, we're starting to wish we were in that wedding party! Scroll through for more views of Annabelle's gown, then check out what the bridesmaids - including fashion influencer Hannah Bronfman - wore.
Once You Catch These Little Details on Bella Hadid, You'll Forget All About Her Bikini
It appears Bella Hadid and Elsa Hosk are tired of the cold because the two models jetted off to someplace warm. Perhaps for a little R&R post Victoria's Secret Fashion Show? For the girls' trip, Bella, of course, packed her favorite bikini style: a simple black two piece. The crochet version had tassel details, but what made it really stand out was Bella's accessories.
The model styled her bikini with a pair of large, silver hoop earrings and a double-layer initial necklace that said "B." Bella even 'grammed a close-up shot of these tiny additions as if to say, "Look here!" We have to agree the silver accessories were a nice complement to her black bikini, which is why we added similar shopping picks below.
You Won't Have to Look at Shay Mitchell's Swimsuit Long to Notice This Detail
Once the temperature dips below a certain degree, we get the urge to travel - preferably to a warm, sunny location, where we can rock a swimsuit instead of a puffed-up parka. Shay Mitchell is likely feeling the same, as the star 'grammed a throwback pic of herself in a Positino, Italy, shower, showing off white shades and a stylish green one-piece. The photo made us feel a tad emotional - oh, how we miss those beach-ready days! - but we still "oohed" and "ahhed" over Shay's sexy swimwear, which included fun cutout details on the back and side.
Yet while the weather (especially on the East Coast) isn't exactly appropriate for this type of get-up, the color choice couldn't be more perfect. With the holidays coming up, green pieces are a definite must, and Shay's little snap is a great reminder to start scooping 'em up. Scroll through to see Shay's suit once more, then shop something inspired by it - both for vacation and not - ahead.
Do These 6 Things on Sunday to Lose Weight All Week Long
You know you should be eating right and exercising all week to reach your weight-loss goals, but when you're so rushed between work and family responsibilities, it's tough to have time to make it happen. A little planning goes a long way, so here are some things you can do on Sunday to ensure you stay on a healthy path all week long.
Plan Your Workouts
Don't just think to yourself that you'll squeeze in a run here and a trip to the gym there - plan it out. Sit down with your weekly calendar and jot down every workout just as you would doctor's appointments and meetings. Use this time to call your fitness buddy or trainer to make dates, check out studio schedules to find classes you want to take, and check the week's weather to figure out which days will be best for outdoor workouts.
Hit the Hamper
Nothing puts a damper on a workout more than not being able to find a clean sports bra, so do a couple loads before Monday, making sure you have everything you need, from your running tights to yoga tops to the towel you use to wipe sweat from your brow. Lay out your outfits for each day's workout so you're not running around the house Tuesday morning trying to find your missing sock.
Gather Your Gear
Collect whatever you need to work out - a yoga mat, sneakers, or earbuds - and make sure everything is set so you can easily grab the items throughout the week. Pack your gym bag, and put it by the door or in your car so you won't forget it when you leave for the day. If you exercise at home, put your favorite fitness video in the DVD player and lay out your dumbbells and resistance band. Sunday is also a great time to make a couple new playlists to inspire your kick-ass workouts (if you don't have time, subscribe to our workout playlists on Spotify).

Plan Your Meals and Snacks
Sit down and write out a weekly eating plan including all meals and snacks for the week. If you need a little inspiration, check out these healthy recipes. After making out a grocery list to include everything you'll need to whip them up, hit the health food store and stock up for the week. Since produce is best enjoyed within a few days of purchasing, note what fruits and veggies you'll want to pick up halfway through the week.
Make things even easier by prepping in advance: wash, cut, and store veggies to be used in dinner recipes, cut up fruit for smoothies or snacks, and cook up some whole grains and store them in the fridge. Cook some of these make-ahead breakfasts in advance, like a week of overnight oats, or turn on the crockpot to make something you can eat a few nights that week, like these under-400-calorie meals.
Pack It Up
If you'll be away from home during the day, cut down on the temptation to go out to lunch or grab a cookie by packing lunches and snacks from home. Making five salads for the week is easy and healthy, or you can whip up a big pot of soup and freeze small portions in glass containers to grab for lunch. Also set aside 10 snacks for the week (two per day), such as Greek yogurt, cheese sticks, and containers of carrots and hummus, or measure out 100-calorie portions of trail mix, whole-grain crackers, or cereal. It'll probably take about an hour to get it all ready, but it'll end up saving you time during the rest of the week.
Hit the Hay
Once everything is all set, take a nice hot bath, slip on your PJs, and hop into bed early. Unwind with an evening yoga sequence or a calming book, and you're more likely to have a good night's sleep and wake up refreshed for the week ahead.
