Who's Lucy Hale Dated? We're Sorry to Say the List Doesn't Include Ezra Fitz
You may know her best as Aria Montgomery, and soon enough, you'll know her better as Katy Keene, but here's what we're wondering: who has been lucky enough to know Lucy Hale as their girlfriend? It's no secret that Lucy is a busy woman, especially with the forthcoming debut of the Riverdale spinoff Katy Keene, where she plays the titular character. Even though fans have been speculating about her dating life ever since her split from Life Sentence costar Riley Smith last year, the truth of the matter is that Lucy's busy practicing some self-love at the moment.
On her 30th birthday in June, Hale took to Instagram to reflect on the milestone, noting that, "I've had so much to smile about but I've also had my heart ripped in two," and for now, Lucy wants to "find things I love about myself." She may be single for the time being, but let's take a walk down memory lane and see who's romanced the Pretty Little Liars star in the past.
15 Influential Directors Who Changed the Horror Genre Forever
The horror genre is an interesting one. On the one hand, it doesn't exactly sweep at the Academy Awards. But, on the other hand, it is those scenes that bury their bones in our subconscious, and dictate the way we navigate our daily lives. When we enter a dark house, we immediately turn our iPhone flashlights on. And when we're invited to a cabin getaway, we certainly think twice. You can thank horror directors for instilling fear into your psyches. They know just the angles to terrorize you, and they know how to generate suspense better than anyone. Keep reading for the 15 horror directors that shaped the genre. We promise, there are no jump scares.
19 Pairs of Shoes I'd Buy at Revolve in a Heartbeat
Plain and simple, Revolve has cool shoes. Perhaps you always thought of the retailer as a one-stop shop for going-out party dresses or the trustworthy place you could score your GRLFRND jeans. Trust me: Revolve is all that and more, but it's also a hub for your favorite shoe brands (think Off-White, Golden Goose, Tibi, LPA, RAYE, Adidas, and the list goes on). When you're done shopping for sneakers and trendy heels, there's a ton of Fall boots to sift through, running the gamut from croc-effect to suede; ankle-rise to over-the-knee.
Guys, these are essentials! You should have no problem picking up a few of these new designs when they're not only eye-catching, but necessary to complete so many of your outfits. My personal favorites are Nike's crisp white high-tops and I'm also casually obsessed with Ulla Johnson's suede colorblock knee-high boot. Just imagine how romantic it'd be to add a long chiffon maxi dress over those.
Whether you're in the market for something with a heel, or you just need to fulfill that empty space at the bottom of your closet with a new shoe trend you've yet to try, there will be something here for you, I promise.

Want to Get Straight to the Spoilers? Here's What Happens in Let It Snow
Let It Snow: Three Holiday Romances by John Green, Lauren Myracle, and Maureen Johnson, is about to be adapted by Netflix into a romantic comedy featuring the likes of Isabella Merced, Kiernan Shipka, Jacob Batalon, Odeya Rush, and Joan Cusack. The book, originally published in 2008, features a collection of three distinct yet intertwined stories of teenagers as they weather a Christmas snow storm in Gracetown. Before you cozy up under a blanket with a piping hot mug of cocoa and your loved ones to indulge in some early holiday cinema fun (the movie drops on Nov. 8), let's review what happens in the book.
Will this Christmas Eve be a night of miracles or a night of disasters? A terrible snow storm, a stranded train, and Gracetown - a small town tucked away in the middle of nowhere that will almost make you miss the traditional sleep-inducing Christmas dinner. And yet, Jubilee, Jeb, Tobin, JP, the Duke, Addie, Dorrie, and Tegan will share the most bizarre and random Christmas Eve of their lives. In a roadside Waffle House filled with cheerleaders, unexpected meetings and encounters multiply, while couples get together, break up, and get back together again.
Warning: If you don't want the most important spoilers from the book before you watch the movie, then read no further!
"The Jubilee Express" Spoilers
After her parents are arrested during a department store riot in the Flobie Santa Village, Jubilee Dougal takes a train to Florida to spend Christmas Eve with her grandparents. She meets Jeb, who is headed to Gracetown to get back together with his girlfriend Addie, on the train. After the train gets stranded in Gracetown because of a massive snow storm, Jubilee heads to the Waffle House where she meets Stuart, who invites her to weather the storm at his house. She eventually accepts his offer, taking a shortcut that lands her in icy water (literally!). Jubilee simply can't get to sleep without calling her boyfriend Noah, whose Christmas Eve party she had to miss because of her parents' arrest, but the lackluster phone call and Noah's unresponsiveness leave her disappointed.
The next day, Jubilee opens up to Stuart about her phone call with Noah, who reveals that he has broken up with his girlfriend after finding out that she had been cheating on him. Feeling caught up in the moment, Stuart and Jubilee kiss before being interrupted by his mom and sister. Jubilee heads back to train, but Stuart catches up to her and convinces her to come back home with him to spend the holiday with his family.
"A Cheertastic Christmas Miracle" Spoilers
John Green tells the tale of Tobin, JP, and the Duke. The three friends watch movies at Tobin's house while his parents are stuck at the airport. They head to the Waffle House after their friend Keun calls to let them know that a group of cheerleaders desperate to play Twister are there, only to get stranded in the snow. They decide to soldier on through the snow on foot, but Tobin comes to the realization that he has caught feelings for the Duke. In spite of a mild flirtation with the cheerleaders, Tobin confesses his feelings for the Duke, and the two share a kiss in the sparkling snow outside the Waffle House, then bask in the newness of their altered relationship.
"The Patron Saint of Pigs" Spoilers
In the final story, Lauren Myracle introduces us to Addie, who is lonely, heartbroken, and confused after breaking up with her boyfriend Jeb. Why did they break up? She was seduced by Charlie at a drunken Christmas party, incurring Jeb's scorn. After being told by her friends Tegan and Dorrie that she and her selfishness are to blame for her breakup, Addie offers to pick up a teacup pig for Tegan in order to make amends, only to find out that the pig has already been sold to an elderly woman whom Addie eventually finds. She returns to Starbucks (where she works) with the pig in tow, where she happily reunites with Jeb.
All in all, these stories woven around the main theme of love end happily, leaving the reader with a sense of warmth and sentimentality. This is a great read if you are a John Green fan, and the movie is bound to be just as sweet as the novel.

The Meaning Behind La Catrina and Why It's a Symbol of Día de los Muertos
It's not Halloween but rather the first couple of days in November when the celebration of death is at the cultural forefront in many Spanish-speaking countries - and particularly in Mexico. One of the most common symbols you'll see around Día de los Muertos is La Catrina, a statement-making skeletal figure (a bit reminiscent of sugar skulls) adorned in a fine dress and hat.
According to urban legend, La Catrina's roots come from Aztec death goddess Mictecacihuatl. In the legend, the goddess served the same purpose as La Catrina does today: to honor and protect those who have passed and to symbolize the relationship Mexicans have with death.
The current iteration of La Catrina's look was conceptualized by lithographer and printer José Guadalupe Posada, who is said to have designed the first La Catrina skull in the early 1900s. In Posada's depiction, La Catrina had only a head and hat, which symbolized respect for the reality of death. In particular, the hat has been said to represent the artist's perception that death does not discriminate against anyone, regardless of class - historically, only the extremely wealthy wore hats.
Posada's original La Catrina was built upon by artist Diego Rivera (Frida Kahlo's husband) when he created a mural that represented over 400 years of Mexican history called Dream of a Sunday Afternoon in Alameda Park, now located in the Museo Mural Diego Rivera in Mexico City. This mural marks the first depiction of La Catrina as a full body wearing the ornate clothing and accessories she typically wears today.
While Rivera painted La Catrina in the mid-1900s, she continues to be an ever-present symbol of Mexican culture's celebration of Día de los Muertos. The skeleton figure can be found throughout homes and altars with offerings on her behalf. On Nov. 1 and 2, many dress in costume as La Catrina to further underscore her presence during these festivities.
