We have known for a long time that Lauren Conrad is the queen of Halloween, so there was no doubt that she wouldn’t let us down this year. Turns out LC just unveiled her 2014 costume on her website and, unsurprisingly, it’s another one for the books. Any guesses? It has to do with shells. No, not a sea maiden. No, not a water nymph. OK, fine: she’s gonna be a mermaid.

Obviously, since this is Lauren Conrad we’re talking about here, she didn’t just go to Spirit Halloween and pick up an Ariel from The Little Mermaid costume—she made it. By hand. How do we know, you wonder? There are photos, of course.

On her website, Lauren details how to get the costume for yourself. It involves sea shells, shimmery fabric, and two colors of tulle—among, like, eight other materials—which, with three days left until Halloween, may be a bit ambitious for the majority of us.

Lauren’s costume, though, is going to look incredible—so many ~sparkles~, you guys.

Do you remember earlier this month when Justin Bieber teased that he was working with Karl Lagerfeld and we/the rest of the world were like, “Um, what??????” Well, JB just posted and then quickly deleted one of the photos and, um, all we can say is, there’s a very open terrycloth robe. His abs are finally getting their moment in the spotlight, thankfully. No more hiding those things for Justin Bieber, no siree.

Twitter

While Bieber’s original Instagram post has been deleted, its spirit lives on in the form of…the exact same photo because, Justin, once you put something on the internet, your 56M+ Belieber followers are gonna screenshot it. Also, though you deleted the image, the tweet still exists—we still don’t know why you’re working with Karl, but we know photos are forthcoming. How long are we gonna have to wait for these bad boys?!?

Just last week, Lauren Conrad debuted a new haircut—she cut it for the first time “in years” and teased the ‘do on Instagram. Well, it seems like shearing off a few inches felt so good she decided to do it again this week—and, dang, this time she took a lot off.

While Lauren posted a photo that showed the process but not the final result, her longtime hair stylist, Kristin Ess, shared the outcome. Deep breath, you guys: you’re about to see LC like you’ve never seen her before.

With a long bob! Her hair is above her shoulders and, LBR, it looks really good. Like, so, so good. I want to go get a haircut right now even though I got one two weeks ago. While Lauren had a short, layered ‘do in 2007, this appears to be the shortest it’s ever been, overall. Years without a cut and then two major ones within a week of one another—I dig your style, LC. I dig it a lot.

At this rate, we’re expecting a pixie cut next week—considering how well she’s pulled off every length of hair she’s ever had, there’s no doubt she’d slay if she went even shorter.

Nicki Minaj‘s spread for L’Uomo Vogue was released earlier this month, but like the gift that keeps on giving—there’s more. Nicki just shared two clips from a “short film” that accompanies the article and, whoa, seeing those outfits in motion is adding an entirely new element to this thang.

In the first, Nicki twirls some fringe, #WERKS her short bob, and wears a dress shirt as a tube top.

In the other, she removes a tie very, very slowly, shows off some extremely pointy (and shiny!) nails, and unbuttons her shirt at, also, a very slow pace.

You can peep the entire video and interview on L’Uomo Vogue‘s website as you bide your time until “Only” drops tomorrow.

In August, Iggy Azalea announced that she was collaborating with Steve Madden for a collection that would drop in February. Well, Christmas Valentine’s Day has come early, because Iggy teased two of the shoes from the collection and they can be summed up in one word: Danggggggg.

While the shoes may be a little, um, high to wear in the middle of February—if you live in a climate that deals with that whole ~snow~ thing—they will definitely add a sparkly element to your footwear collection. I guess you could argue the lug sole would provide more traction than a normal high heel, but I’d still suggest you securing a cab or door-to-door car service.

Iggy shared a second pair—the same style, darker color—which she revealed are her “personal favorites.” She also announced that there will be 15 styles in total—so throw away all your other shoes to make room, OK?—and they’re all “fun and with a little sporty twist.”

She also promised she’d be sharing more throughout the upcoming months, which we will, obviously, be keeping a close eye on.

Seeing Taylor Swift in pants is like spotting the Loch Ness Monster: almost impossible. Catching her perform in pants is even harder—like seeing the Loch Ness Monster drinking tea, or something. Last night, for her performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, though, the almost unthinkable happened: Tay performed in black pants.

Considering her summer-long affair with coordinate sets, it makes sense that her reintroduction to pants came with a matching bustier. We were so taken aback by seeing Taylor with covered legs that we gasped—initially—and then wondered how long it had been since she last performed in pants.

Well, it turns out, at least according to photographic research, that it’s been over a year.

Getty Images

The last time Taylor wore pants on stage—that we can find proof of, at least—was during the Red tour in May of 2013. That was another era, people! She still had long hair! We didn’t know what “Shake It Off” was yet. For the rest of the tour, she favored shorts which makes sense cause, y’know, summer.

We are mere days away from Taylor Swift’s highly anticipated 1989 release. We’ve known what the album cover would look like since August, but then we wondered: what would the album cover look like if it actually came out in, y’know, 1989? Would there be big hair, pouffy dresses, and polka dots? Would Taylor have had a field day with cowboy boots?

How long do you go in between haircuts? I’m a every couple of months type of girl. Lauren Conrad, though? She’s an every couple of years lady. Yeah, you read that right–she goes years between cuts. And guess what, y’all? You’re witnesses to a rare occurrence: LC just got a haircut.

Lauren posted a photo to her Instagram with the casual, NBD caption, “Got my first haircut in years.” Years, Lauren? YEARS?! While her hair length may vary from time to time, that’s all thanks to extensions. In fact, she told People that her biggest regret re: her hair was “chopping it off.” She elaborated, “My hair won’t grow — my hair has not gone past this length since I cut it seven years ago to my shoulders. I’ve tried vitamins, I’ve tried everything. It just won’t!”

Well, I guess the vitamins finally took. While we’re (very eagerly) awaiting 360º pics, we gather that the new ‘do is shoulder-length, choppy, and as perfectly wavy as ever.

Now please excuse me as I look at photos of Lauren’s hair through the years and find inspiration for my next cut.
