By now, we’ve come to terms with the fact that Lauren Conrad is basically a genius at everything–writing books, designing clothes; you name it, she’s great at it. So, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that she’s been killin’ in the Halloween department for, oh, *looks at watch* the last 20 years or so. Check out 11 LC costumes that prove our Hills girl has always been the queen of Halloween (and while you’re at it, help her choose an outfit this year).

2013: TOOTH FAIRY

Last year, LC got decked out in tulle-heavy tooth fairy costume complete with wings and a bag of teeth (which she explains how to make yourself!). The best part? Her hubs dressed up as a dentist to match.

2012: MARY POPPINS

In 2012, she sported an easy-to-DIY Mary Poppins ensemble featuring a tiny red bow tie, a flower-accented hat, and, of course, her signature umbrella.

2012: GHOST

That same year, she also sported a high-fashion ghost look, which is equal parts couture and creepy. *golf claps*

2011: MINNIE MOUSE

In 2011, she took a super cute red and white polka dot dress and transformed it into a Minnie Mouse costume by making ears out of hair buns and adding a giant bow.

2011: BRITNEY SPEARS

She also paid homage to ’90s Britney Spears that same ...

When fall rolls around, our boot choice is a no-brainer. Our tried and true Timberlands have stood the test of time (even ask Little Mix!), and it’s no wonder: they’re neutral, they’re rugged, and they’re always on trend. But if you’re tired of wearing the exact same thing year after year (but still need this wardrobe staple in your life), we found 14 killer alternatives to the traditional Timbs. Think: Platforms, heels, and wedge versions of your favorite hiking boots that won’t break the bank. (Oh, and if you’re a bajillionaire, you can just skip this whole list swipe up these bad boys. You’re welcome.)

If you don’t know about Into The Gloss’ Top Shelf yet, you have some serious catching up to do. The online series features beauty-focused interviews with musicians, actresses, models, celebrities, and all-around cool girls who—you guessed it—also show us their actual top shelf of products. This week, Into The Gloss’ founder Emily Weiss caught up with Selena Gomez in her L.A. digs where she spilled the deets on everything from her thoughts on lipstick to her morning beauty routine to past fashion mishaps. The entire interview is fantastic, TBH, but here are eight things we just couldn’t wait to share with y’all right this second.

2. SHE’LL NEVER DEFINE HER STYLE
“But I never wear anything for any purpose other than making myself happy. So, I love dressing up, I like trying new things. I’m inspired by music constantly, too—you can get away with more daring looks, like a ton of glitter that’ll look awesome in certain lighting. I don’t think you should ever have to ‘define your style’ because when you’re 22, you probably aren’t going to dress the same way you did when you were 16. You can define it for maybe a year at a time and ...

It’s been a looongggg 24 hours for us Lovatics. Last night, Demi Lovato posted a photo of hair dye on Instagram saying “I need some color in my life….,” but then left us hangin’ All. Freakin’. Day. In fact, we were so curious about her new hue that we even took some wild guesses (see: Photoshopped colors on her hair), but now, all our questions have been answered. She finally revealed her hair color, and it’s… *drum roll*

Bright teal! After watching this Instagram video hundreds of time (seriously), you can actually see that it’s a slight turquoise to greenish-blue ombre, which is so killer. We love how Demi always keeps us guessing, and her line of hair extensions, Secret Color, can help you recreate this mermaid look for yourself.

Another year, another Taylor Swift fragrance! After her princess-themed Wonderstruck and Wonderstruck Enchanted scents and, most recently, her boho-inspired Taylor by Taylor Swift perfume, our girl is back with a very different fragrance for 2014.

Twitter

The scent, called Incredible Things, mixes vanilla, musk, wild passion flowers, and grapefruit in an opaque bottle complete with a watercolor painting of T-Swift’s portrait and a number 13 on the cap, according to Lucky. The campaign also features Taylor in barely-there makeup and paint-stained hands, which we’re totally feeling. So minimal. So artsy. So incredible.

Tumblr

When we see the full package, it obvious Taylor went for a more DIY approach this time around (perhaps as a nod to her 1989 album?), which is a huge step away from her typically-ornate bottles and decked-out campaign images. The scent will hit Kohl’s nationwide and online this month, so y’all better start saving up ASAP!

Ever since Taylor Swift launched her Keds collection last year, she’s been steadily releasing one killer design after another. From sequin-covered polka dots to subtle songbirds to multi-colored roses, we thought she had covered ALL her bases by now, but our favorite cat lady just had to throw in a pair of feline-inspired kicks—with the help of her new kitten Olivia Benson.

Keds

The black sneakers feature a “Sneaky Cat” peeping out from the bottom of the sole complete with two sets of laces, an official Taylor Swift charm, and “12-13-89” written (in her handwriting!) on the heel of the shoe. The best part? OLIVIA EVEN TOOK THEM FOR A SPIN.

Keds

Eeeeeeeeeeeee! Aakldaksdjal. If your heart didn’t explode from cuteness, you can swipe up a pair for just $55 over at Keds.com.

Dang, Nas wasn’t kidding when he said 2014 was going to be “the year of Illmatic.” To celebrate the 20th anniversary of his debut album, he will kick off a tour and one-time-only screenings of his Time Is Illmatic documentary in select theaters starting tomorrow. But did y’all know he also announced the re-release of his clothing line, HSTRY, this week? *bows down*

HSTRY

The brand–which initially launched last fall in collaboration with Grungy Gentleman–is back with its first-ever solo collection. According to the website, the 25-piece line “speaks of Nas’ personal journey and motivation with vibrant, original graphics and color-blocking extolling an era that birthed legends and shaped decades to come.”

HSTRY

The ’80s and ’90s-inspired fall collection features everything from logo bucket hats to colorblocked sweatsuits to graphic tees, which range from $40 to $90.

HSTRY

In the fall lookbook, we get to peep rapper Bishop Nehru and style icon Everard Best wearing some of brand’s streetwear staples in the scenic streets of NYC, but apparently this first collection “merely scratches the surface” of what’s to come. Check out even more looks from the line below, and to shop the full collection right this second, head on over to HSTRYclothing.com.
