7 Drool Worthy Looks for ‘Moms’ Only (PHOTOS)

Fashion Week is in full swing in NYC right now, and while it's filled with gorgeous designs, a lot of the clothes can feel out of reach to the average woman, for a variety of reasons, the two biggest being the prices and the fact that everything is modeled by 10-foot-tall, size 0 models! One show that's totally different is STRUT, "The Fashionable Mom Show," which launched last fall at Lincoln Center. Co-founded by Denise Albert and Melissa Musen Gerstein of THE MOMS, it's the first runway show where the models are all moms.

The show strives to present moms of all shapes and sizes, and focuses on affordable fashion for a diverse audience. It's a pretty cool concept, even though it does strike me as a leeetle bit odd to single out moms ...

I mean, just because I'm a "mom" doesn't mean I need some special kind of fashion, does it? But on the other hand, I love that they are focusing on making fashion relatable and accessible, and I do concede that it's really easy to feel frumpy when you're a mom, by default! In terms of bringing diversity to Fashion Week, I'd say it's a real step in the right direction.

Ok, now let's look at the outfits! Here are my favorite styles (all of which are available now at the retailers listed) ...

What do you think of the "all mom" fashion show concept? Which look do you like the most?

Take your eyes off of that adorable little boy for a moment and check out what his mama, Denise Albert (co-founder of The Moms), is wearing. Hot! Love the graphic tee paired with those sexy jeans and luxe but wearable jacket. Fashion is by Musen Albert, Bloomingdale's, TheBungalowLV.com, and CCandy.

Colorful Rainbow Cupcakes Recipe Is Easier Than It Looks

maandag 9 september 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

There's nothing more fun than eating foods that are colors that they aren't supposed to be. Anyone remember the blue ketchup craze? Kids went crazy for that stuff! While the colored butter might have been a step too far for me (I still can't wrap my mind around that one), I can't say no to rainbow cupcakes.

These delicious and, most importantly, colorful cupcakes are SO easy to make (you only need some cupcake mix and food dye), you'll be wondering why you've never tried them out before. The key is adding just the right amount of drops of food coloring to separate bowls of batter and then adding the batter into cupcake liners in even layers.

If you're looking to make a cupcake that tastes a little lighter than usual, try a simple dollop or swirl of whipped cream on top instead of traditional frosting. The fluffy topping is the perfect touch for these crazy cupcakes. Drop on a few of your favorite sprinkles, and you're good to go!

Rainbow Cupcake Recipe,  adapted from Spoonful

White cake mix
Food coloring (red, blue, green, and yellow)
Cupcake liners
Whipped cream or frosting of your choice
Sprinkles (optional)

Prepare your white cake mix, then divide the batter evenly among six small bowls. Following the food coloring formulas below, dye each bowl of batter a rainbow color.

Line a muffin or cupcake pan with 16 baking cups. Evenly distribute the purple batter among the cups. Then evenly distribute the blue, green, yellow, orange, and red (in that order). As you go, gently spread each layer of better with the back of a spoon so as to cover the color underneath.

Bake the cupcakes according to your recipe directions on the box.

Add your favorite frosting and toppings.

Food coloring formulas:

Purple --  9 red and 6 blue drops

Blue -- 12 drops

Green -- 12 drops

Yellow -- 12 drops

Orange -- 12 yellow and 4 red drops

Red -- 18 drops

Hayden Panettiere Does Something So Shocking With Her Hair It Almost Looks Fake (PHOTO)

vrijdag 30 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

It's perfectly normal to want to experiment and change up your hairstyles from time to time to keep things exciting -- but just wait until you see Hayden Panettiere's new locks, which are anything but characteristic for her.

Compared to a lot of other celebrities, she's just so fresh faced and natural, well, other than the boob job she's rumored to have had, of course. (That doesn't count.)

And that's why it seems strange that she went for such a drastic change with her bold new do. Hayden's hair is so shocking, in fact, that I'm not totally convinced that she isn't wearing a wig.

Drum roll, please -- check out those blunt bangs and her platinum blonde shade!

Well, what do you think -- are you digging it? I hate to say it, but I'm really not a fan. At all.

Take a closer look -- couldn't this be a wig? It certainly wouldn't be the first time a celeb donned fake hair in an effort to nab a little extra attention. There's a chance that Hayden's style could magically go back to normal the next time we see her.

But if this really is a permanent change, it's kind of a shame. The heavy bangs make her look a few years older, and her hair is so straight, it really takes away from the natural beauty vibe she usually has going on. And one more thing about the bangs -- they hide her gorgeous face! Hayden's skin is flawless, and it just seems like a waste to cover up her perfect complexion.

Hopefully this major shift is only temporary, and the old Hayden will be back to showing off her beautiful self in no time. But if her new hair does turn out to be the real deal, those bangs are going to be a serious bitch to grow out. Just sayin'.

Do you think Hayden is wearing a wig? And do you like her hair this way?

Khloe Kardashian Looks 'Sad' After Lamar Odom Comes Home So It Must Mean Divorce (Again)

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Rebecca Stokes 4 hours ago

Lamar Odom is finally home, but that doesn't mean everything is magically all better for him and the little missus. Exhibit A: Khloe Kardashian's sad face in the paparazzi shots taken not long after Lamar's return. Sure, nobody looks like perfection leaving the gym. But looking like you've lost your best friend isn't common either!

That's exactly how Khloe appears to be feeling. Check out the shades! Her more-glum-than-usual demeanor and her clear attempts to cover up her ring finger -- and with it any indication as to what her future with Lamar may hold -- are so NOT reassuring. 

To be fair, I'm practically positive that if someone tried to take my photo after I'd been raining sweat on the Elliptical Trainer for 45 minutes (okay, okay, fine, 30 minutes), they would be lucky to escape with their eyes intact. So sure, it's natural for Khloe to seem a bit nonplussed.

But I can't get over the towel. Could the move of covering up her left hand be unintentional? Perhaps, but in light of the unfolding drama surrounding the couple, it's not likely. Lamar hasn't been home for long at all and already the woman's feeling enough stress that she's got to high-tail it to the gym. This does not bespeak smooth sailing, my friends.

Then again, maybe Khloe doesn't like wearing her wedding ring to work out, and everything is roses for her marriage to Lamar (not likely but ...). We'll never know the whole story. But no matter what, K and L, get used to this. Your every move and facial expression will be analyzed from here to kingdom come for the foreseeable future. So say cheese!

Do you think Khloe and Lamar will weather this storm?

Miley Cyrus Looks Like a Little Girl in Crazy Ripped Shorts and Pigtails (PHOTO)

AppId is over the quota

Miley Cyrus is one of the few people in the world who's been blessed with a body type that looks good in basically everything. Soooo, why is she wearing this? The "We Can't Stop" singer stepped out in a pair of shorts so tiny the Hubble Telescope might not be to spot them; a tank top that had the words "Ain't Nothing But a G Thang" printed in calligraphy on the front; and a hairstyle that one typically doesn't see on anyone over the age of 2. What up, Miley?

I get that Miley is young; "going through puberty at 20 years old"; and experimenting right now, but she wears the same types of things over and over and over again. Always something super tight, always something super short. The girl has a fantastic body and she ought to show it off, but ... maybe once in a while, try something new? She should experiment within her experimental phase! It would be so nice to see Miley in a loose maxi dress. Or just, I dunno, a t-shirt and jeans. That would actually be more shocking than what she's wearing here.

As for her hair, I actually find it weirdly cute. Maybe because it reminds me of my toddler. I don't think I'd advise Miley to wear it like this every day. But for once in a while, what the hey, right?

Thoughts on Miley Cyrus' outfit and 'do?

Julianne Hough Looks So Gorgeous After Working Out It Just Isn't Fair (PHOTO)

Sigh. Check out just how put together and perfect Julianne Hough looks after working out. She's not the least bit sweaty (from what we can tell). Her hair is pulled back and casual -- but it still looks cute and doesn't even come close to resembling a post-exercise bird's nest.

And how about those trendy sunglasses she's wearing? Do they scream movie star or what? Paired with her sleek, black workout gear, she looks like she just stepped out of the pages of a fitness magazine. Oh, and another thing -- as if she didn't already have an amazing body, sticking to wearing all black makes her look even thinner than she already is.

Are you jealous yet? You should be.

I mean, come on -- have you ever looked that good after a workout? I know I sure haven't. Usually when I get done hitting the gym, I'm nothing short of a hot mess. Usually my hair is matted to my head, I've got a serious case of boob sweat seeping through the front of my shirt, and I'm so flushed and out of breath that you'd probably think I was having a heart attack if I weren't walking out of a fitness center.

I know Julianne is a dancer by trade so she's used to vigorous exercise, but it's still pretty amazing that she looks this polished. Hmm. Just to make ourselves feel better, let's go ahead and assume that she showered, blow-dried her hair, threw on a little tinted moisturizer to give her skin a nice, healthy glow, and changed into a fresh pair of workout clothes before this photo was taken.

Any scenario other than that really just isn't fair.

Do you ever look good after working out?

5 Gorgeous 'Teen Mom' Makeup Looks Worth Copying (PHOTOS)

The perfect look with makeup means different things for different people. For some, it's a natural look with earth tones and a solid coat of mascara. For others, it's a dark smokey eye that just screams drama. The stars of MTV's Teen Mom, they're all about the bold look. I'm constantly amazed at the bazillion different looks Chelsea Houska pulls off on a weekly basis (and seemingly effortlessly, I might add).

Check out 5 of our favorite Teen Mom dramatic makeup looks, here:

I'm a huge fan of the brown and neutral colors Farrah is using here for her smokey eye. She did the right thing by keeping her lips simple, too, letting the focus remain on her bold eye makeup.

Ian Somerhalder Looks Like He's Madly in Love With His 'New Girl' (PHOTO)

dinsdag 20 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota

Looks like Ian Somerhalder's got himself a new bitch. The Vampire Diaries actor, and Fifty Shades hopeful, posted a photo to Instagram, showing off the new love of his life: A dog he's named Nietzsche. The pup apparently is a stray that was found wandering around in traffic near The Vampire Diaries set. Ian captioned the photo of himself and his dog: "My new girl. Rescued from traffic near The Vampire Diaries stages just a few hours ago -- so smart, so beautiful & charming -- all a man could ask for in a girl. So happy together. Her name is Nietzsche."

And then millions of girls melted into puddles of goo, their liquid selves slipping down into sewers and shower drains. And now there's a weird Ian Somerhalder fan club underground.

Sometimes, it actually seems like Ian Somerhalder is a caricature of himself. Or a character in a Saturday Night Live sketch: Sensitive Guy. Not only did Ian just adopt a stray pup (who he named Nietzsche), dude plans on opening a center for abused animals. He actually at one point said: "We're building an animal sanctuary that's also going to double as a sustainable agriculture farm and triple as a youth education camp. When a young person comes to that farm, they leave with a different understanding of compassion." I mean, come on. Is this man for real? He's like Feminist Ryan Gosling incarnate!

Whatever Ian's doing (being hot), he needs to keep it up (continue being hot). Not only is he melting hearts with his whole Sensitive Guy persona, he truly has convinced the world he's the only man who can play Christian Grey. At this point, if the role winds up going to someone else, I wouldn't be surprised if there were riots.

Riots that Ian would peacefully protest. Swoon.

Who do you think should play Christian Grey?

Snooki Looks Even Thinner Than Before in Latest Pic -- Should We Be Worried Now? (PHOTO)

I won't lie, I love Snooki. I think she's amazed the world with just how incredible of a mom she's turned out to be to her little meatball Lorenzo. She has a fun attitude about life, and despite me not being the biggest fan of her interesting shade of hair color, she always looks adorable. With that said, Snooks, I'm a little worried about you. Not because you're cuddling Lorenzo too tightly or because Jionni is having some big tabloidtastic romance (he's not!). But because of your weight.

It's no secret Snooki's skinny. Heck, we've seen a bazillion photos of the former Jersey Shore star looking itty-bitty since giving birth. But Snooks posted another photo on her Instagram feed this morning and I just cannot get over that there's ... like nothing there.

Here, see what I mean:

I told you, teeny. She looks beautiful, regardless, and what do I know -- maybe it's the way the camera is angled or something about the reflection she's using (I hope so). But still. She's so SMALL!

Whether or not Snooki's weight is still on the decline, one thing is for sure: It's important that the momma keeps herself surrounded with positive people who love her for the amazing person she is. The Gorilla-loving lady has come so, so far since her first days back on the shore, and she should be super proud of the hard work and dedication that's gotten her to this point. Stay healthy for you, Snooki. Be your own biggest fan and you'll go far.

Do you think Snooki's skinnier than ever? Do you think her family should be worried?

'RHOBH' Yolanda Foster Looks Unbelievable in a Bikini and No Makeup (PHOTO)

Yolanda Foster's home-grown lemons aren't the only thing she ought to brag about. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star recently posted a bikini photo to a private photo journal Twitter, and Christ on a cracker, she looks good. It's hard to believe Foster is 49. The woman doesn't look a day over 33. What's your secret, Yo-Yo?

Well, actually, maybe a more appropriate question for Foster would be: "Do you mind lending me a million dollars so I can look like you?" We all know Foster takes her health and her appearance very seriously. Throughout the entire past season of RHOBH, she was cleansing, running, squatting, drinking weird drinks, etc. Yolanda is without question a gorgeous woman, but no doubt it takes a lot of money to look that good. And hey, you'd probably look that stunning, too, if you were on a gorgeous beach in Puerto Rico without a care in the world.

Yolanda, whatever you're doing, keep doing it. You look stunning. And, seriously, can I borrow a million dollars? Okay, fine, $500 grand. I'm good for it, I swear. No? Okay, that's cool.

How fantastic does Yolanda Foster look?

Powerful Video Shows What the World Looks Like to Someone With Autism (VIDEO)

AppId is over the quota

by Ericka Sóuter 3 hours ago

Autism is a perplexing disorder, even to parents of children on the spectrum. Try as they may to understand exactly what their child is going through, it can seem like an impossible feat. Well, 18-year-old autism activist Carly Fleischmann wants to help us all understand how she and others like her see the world. She has created a video that provides a shocking snapshot into her life and the frustrations she feels when her body won't let her voice be heard. I promise, you have never seen anything like it.

The video depicts an outing to a coffee shop with her father and sister. Carly, who was diagnosed with severe autism, cognitive delay, and oral apraxia at age 2, has opinions that she just can't express. As she describes it, "Autism has locked me inside a body I cannot control." This shows you her perspective of what is happening and her interactions with everyone, including the weary barista and the perplexed customers.

Heartbreaking, isn't it. Carly and so many other kids with autism have so much to say, but they simply can't say it. This video certainly sheds a profound light on what they go through. It breaks my heart they have to endure this. It's so important for the rest of the world to be aware of their frustrations and struggles.

What is your reaction to Carly's video?
