Etiquette: The Do’s and Don’ts of New Year’s Eve


Celebrities Taking Selfie at Met GalaNew Year’s Eve often strikes a precarious chord in our hearts. It’s fueled with the nostalgic memories of the things we leave behind, yet packed with the promise of all we hope the New Year will bring. Add to that, the massive expectation of trying to celebrate it in a magical, blinged-out night-of-all-nights kind of way, and you might just end up in your onesie with a bottle of wine waiting for the ball to drop.

I don’t really do too much with my nails: I love gel but there’s only so many times in succession you can wear it without doing serious damage. And I use my fingers more than the average person—constantly typing away at the keyboard—so I often find manicures don’t last. But I must admit, I’m quite smitten with these $13 Song of Style x Formula X Nail Polishes:

Best of 2015: Best Designer or Brand

givenchy beyonce riccardo tisci 
It’s been a year of designer shake-ups in fashion (but honestly isn’t that becoming the norm?).
Brands as simple and familiar as American Apparel or Abercrombie & Fitch have been revamped with new creative heads just like the luxury labels (think Balenciaga and Gucci). Though it seems like product production is at an all time high (seems may honestly be a light term to use), designers still have the onus of standing out amongst it all. Here are a few that have.

Steve Harvey, Christmas
Ho, ho, ho indeed, Steve Harvey!
After making headlines by crushing the hopes and dreams of Miss Colombia by incorrectly declaring her the winner of the Miss Universe 2015 pageant and then having her give up the crown to the actual winner, Miss Philippines, the show host, comedian and TV personality is maintaining his sense of humor.
"Merry Easter y'all!" he wrote on Instagram on Friday, Christmas Day, alongside a photo of himself standing near a huge wreath while giving the peace sign and smoking a cigar.

5 Days, 5 Ways: How to Wear Plaid Without Looking Like a Lumberjack

ESC: Victoria Beckham
No matter the time of year, plaid can do you no wrong.
Whether you're channeling festive vibes, schoolgirl chic or garage grunge, the pattern attracts the eye in ways both minimalists and maximalists can appreciate.
For instance, take Victoria Beckham, proponent of all things chic, streamlined and neutral. In a refreshing move, Posh paired a long, plaid coat with bright bottoms for a crisp, boardroom-appropriate look. The trick to pulling off this outfit involves taking a subtle, accenting color in the plaid and finding a solid pant in a vibrant shade of the same hue.

Janet Jackson to Undergo Surgery

Janet Jackson
Attention Janet Jackson fans…
The Grammy-winning singer took to Twitter today to announce that she's been forced to postpone her entire Unbreakable Tour dates after receiving word that she must undergo surgery.
"Hey you guys…Happy holidays to each and every one of you. I need you to know, I learned today, from my doctors that I must have surgery soon," she began by explaining on social media.
"It breaks my heart to tell you that I am forced to postpone the Unbreakable Tour until the spring. Every date will be rescheduled. Please hold on to your ticket. They will be honored in a special way when the new schedule is announced."

Dare to Wear: Beyonce Proves Ugly Christmas Sweaters Can Be Chic

ESC, Dare to Wear, Beyonce
The ugly holiday sweater parties are over—now what?
In case you're like us and hate wearing an item only once, there is a way to reuse Grandma's special gift. To do this, one must channel the queen of all things fierce—and in this instance—festive, Beyoncé.
Sure, Bey looks a little over the top in her Christmas get-up, but she's wearing all the elements of one outstanding, perfect-for-any-occasion outfit. The first thing you must do? Remove the tinsel or opt for a tartan or plaid long cardigan. (Yes, that thrift store find or Grandpa's old sweater works just fine.)

Hometown Hero: Misty Copeland Gets A Street Named After Her In San Pedro

San Pedro honored their hometown hero Misty Copeland by naming a street after her.
Copeland was greeted by hundreds of fans after an amazing year of breaking barriers and dancing with grace, poise, and expertise.
Misty became the first African-American principle dancer at American Ballet Theatre in June. Now her entire town is celebrating her groundbreaking acheivements.
The 33-year-old gave a heart-touching speech to a crowd of 500, saying:
“Growing up in the atmospheres that I grew up in, San Pedro was the only place I ever considered home,” Copeland said, tearing up. “There really hasn’t been a place that’s replaced that in my heart since I lived here and I’m so proud, and I never forget San Pedro.”
Misty is a perfect example of where hard work, perseverance, and pursuing your dreams full throttle can take you. Like so many other black women, the odds were stacked against her racially and economically. She almost had to quit her craft because her parents didn’t have a car to take her to and from practice. But she didn’t give up, and now she’s a legend…and a street!
The ballerina celebrated by posting on her IG page:
You make us so proud, Misty!
