<p>Another big nail trend is thinly outlining your nail in a contrasting color. For Charlotte Ronson’s New York Fashion Week runway show last month, I did five color combinations with <a href="http://www.youbeauty.com/admin/galleries/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail%20Downloads/with%20Color%20Club%20nail%20polish" target="_blank">Color Club nail polish</a> to match the collection. You can use a nail art striper to paint the thin line or you can cheat the delicate brush stroke with a simple trick using polishes that are very opaque. Paint your nails in the color you want for the outline. Allow those coats to dry. Then, paint your nail again, just imagine it’s a bit smaller, leaving a thin “U” around the nail. To finish the look, add a French tip in the outline color.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever since <a href="https://www.universalorlando.com/harrypotter/" target="_blank">The Wizarding World of Harry Potter</a> first opened at Universal&#8217;s Islands of Adventure back in June of 2010, thousands of people have entered Hogsmeade and &#8212; after spotting that stationary version of the Hogwarts Express (which was parked at the entrance of this theme park land as a photo op) &#8212; exclaimed: &#8220;Oh, wouldn&#8217;t it wonderful if we could climb aboard that train and actually go someplace like London or Diagon Alley.&#8221;</p>
<p>Well, as you can see by this exclusive piece of concept art, starting in the Summer of 2014, that dream will finally become a reality. Building on the success of Hogsmeade, Hogwarts Castle and the award-winning &#8220;Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey&#8221; attraction, Universal Orlando Resort and Warner Bros. Entertainment today announced an expansion of historic proportion with the addition of an entirely new themed environment, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter &#8211; Diagon Alley.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" title="7 Bra Mistakes You're Probably Making &amp; Tips on How to Fix Them" alt="7 Bra Mistakes You're Probably Making &amp; Tips on How to Fix Them" src="http://cdn-ugc.cafemom.com/gen/constrain/500/500/80/2013/05/09/10/6r/x6/poqwizdfwo.jpg" width="287" height="287" />Ugh. <strong>Bras</strong>. We can&#8217;t live without &#8216;em, but to say finding one that fits well, lifts and separates the way it&#8217;s supposed to, and makes us look amazing in our clothes seems like an impossible feat, to say the least.</p>
<p>But as it turns out, a lot of us are making <strong>bra shopping</strong> way more difficult than it has to be. (Everything is our fault. Face it.)</p>
<p>Last week, I had the pleasure of chatting with<strong>Jené Luciani</strong>, style expert and author of <em><strong><a href="http://www.jeneluciani.com/bra-book.html" target="_blank">The Bra Book</a> </strong></em>&#8211; and she gave me some easy tips for how to find the perfect bras &#8212; and how to care for them properly so we remain happy with them.</p>
<p>OMG, you guys &#8212; so many of us are making major bra mistakes. (I definitely am.)</p>
<p><span id="more-33936"></span></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Look in the mirror</strong> &#8211; If your bra is not laying straight across your back, if your boobs are spilling out of the top, or if the straps are cutting into you and the band is giving you bra-line-bulge &#8212; you&#8217;re wearing the wrong size bra. (Guilty as charged.)</li>
<li><strong>Get professionally fitted</strong> &#8211; This means going to a specialty or department store that has certified bra fitters, not your local lingerie joint where some 18-year-old lets you into the dressing room and tries to sell you her most expensive bra. And it&#8217;s important that whoever measures you actually busts out the measuring tape instead of trying to guess your size by looking at you.</li>
<li><strong>Be open minded</strong> &#8211; What you think your bra size is and what your bra size actually is are probably two different things. And don&#8217;t be surprised if your band size is smaller than you think and your cup size is larger. Don&#8217;t laugh or cringe when you find out your real size after being professionally measured. Just go with it.</li>
<li><strong>Stick to your band size</strong> &#8211; Alright, confession time. I measure at a 34, but always buy a 36 because the 34 feels so tight. But bras are supposed to feel snug at first. They&#8217;ll stretch out after an hour or so, at which point they&#8217;ll fit correctly. If you buy a size up, when it stretches out, it winds up being too big. (No wonder I&#8217;m always tugging on mine.)</li>
<li><strong>Stock up</strong> &#8211; Jené recommends that every woman have the following in her lingerie drawer: 2 nude bras; 2 black bras; one strapless or convertible style; and 1 seamless, wireless bra for comfort. (Yes, you need more than one or two, ladies.) FYI, <a href="http://www.geniebra.com/" target="_blank"><strong>The Genie Bra</strong></a> is a great option as far as seamless bras go. It looks flawless under your clothes, and it&#8217;s so comfortable, you might not even realize you have it on!</li>
<li><strong>Re-measure and Replace</strong> &#8211; Jené also says it&#8217;s a good rule of thumb to get measured and replace your bras about once a year. And if you experience pregnancy, weight loss or gain, or another life change, it&#8217;s probably a good idea to get measured again.</li>
<li><strong>Wash often</strong> &#8211; Ok, so I really suck at this one. Did you know you&#8217;re supposed to wash your bras in between every single use? I didn&#8217;t. I wear those babies over and over again. (Gross?) The oil from our skin breaks down the elasticity of the fabric if we don&#8217;t wash them every time, which means they won&#8217;t last as long, which means we have to go out and spend more money on new ones a lot sooner. (Fail.)</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Are you making any of these bra mistakes?</strong></p>

<p>Two weeks ago, ABC Family debuted the official poster for season four of <a href="http://modoration.com/2013/05/03/pretty-little-liars-summer-premiere-sneak-peek-video/">Pretty Little Liars</a> and now, <a href="http://thr.com/" target="_blank"><em>The Hollywood Reporter</em></a> exclusively debuts the first footage of the new summer episodes with a brand new promo. Thank you to THR!</p>
<p>The 30-second teaser, which officially debuts on ABC Family the week of May 13, picks up moments following the aftermath of the fire that threatened the four Liars&#8217; lives.</p>
<p><span id="more-33947"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;She set us up,&#8221; Aria (<strong>Lucy Hale</strong>) says to her friends. Who is &#8220;she&#8221;? Likely the troublesome and omnipresent &#8220;A&#8221; or Red Coat, who is proving to be just as problematic for the girls.</p>
<p>&#8220;I need to find out who Red Coat is,&#8221; Mona (<strong>Janel</strong><strong> Parrish</strong>) tells the foursome. &#8220;She tried to kill all of us.&#8221; Is Mona newly reformed? Is she back on the Liars&#8217; side now?</p>
<p>Later Aria, Spencer (<strong>Troian Bellisario</strong>), Hanna (<strong>Ashley Benson</strong>) and Emily (<strong>Shay Mitchell</strong>) recite yet another text from &#8220;A,&#8221; but this time Mona&#8217;s in on it as well. The offending message? &#8220;The truth won&#8217;t set you free. I&#8217;m going to be bury you with it. &#8212; A.&#8221; Before Emily gets a worrisome text (or photo?): &#8220;Oh my god &#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Flashes of a teary Aria in camouflage, the girls in various states of distress (are you surprised?), Toby (<strong>Keegan Allen</strong>) hiding in the bushes, a tarped body, a crazed driver and Emily pushing someone to safety.</p>
<p>What was in the trunk of Detective Wilden&#8217;s police car? Is that why the Liars are all dressed in black?</p>
<p><em>Pretty Little Liars</em> premieres season four at 8 p.m. June 11 on ABC Family.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most exciting experiences for high school graduates is hosting a graduation party or open house to celebrate their success and forward journey into adulthood. While these festive bashes are tons of fun, few understand how much hard work must go into proper planning to insure an enjoyable and stress-free experience for guests and graduates alike. But do not fear: the Southfield Jay is here to break down the graduation party planning process and insure that your graduation gathering, whether big or small, will go down in history as one of the greatest! <img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-33933" title="Bringing Down the Open House: Tips for a Successful Graduation Party" alt="Bringing Down the Open House: Tips for a Successful Graduation Party" src="http://modoration.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/20edlife-graduation-articleLarge.jpg" width="600" height="403" /></p>
<p>Before you begin planning your party, remember: plan a budget. Costs will quickly get out of hand if you don&#8217;t plan in advance and are unsure of how many guests to expect. When you write a guest list in the very beginning you will not only have an idea of how much food and space you will need but you&#8217;ll also be that much closer to having all your invitations done!</p>
<p><strong>Where?</strong><br />
One of the first things to consider is what type of gathering you want to have. If you&#8217;re expecting no more than 10 people, you may want to consider a dinner at a nearby restaurant such as the upscale steakhouse Texas de Brazil or the Italian restaurant Andiamos Detroit Riverfront, both found in Downtown Detroit. If you expect more guests, be prepared to host the event somewhere that provides ample space for all of them. Inside your home is preferred, because you won&#8217;t have to worry about the bipolar Michigan weather or being rained out. If you don&#8217;t want to have it in your home, consider renting a hall or even better, a VFW or church meeting space, which tend to be available for lower prices. You can even add a barbecue pit to the mix and host your event outside in your backyard or at a local park!</p>
<p><span id="more-33932"></span></p>
<p><strong>When?</strong><br />
The most convenient time for most guests to attend is during the weekend between noon and 6 p.m., but be considerate: many of your friends will be planning their parties on these same days at the same time. While you will not please everyone with your choice of date or time, try to avoid competing for a coveted slot. Scheduling your event during the week and in the afternoon may be better option and make sure that your party is at least a week or two the after graduation ceremony, as some people go on vacation immediately after. June and July are the best months for hosting a graduation party since many students start the move to campus in August. The open house style graduation party works best, because it gives guests an opportunity to stroll through at a time convenient for them and gives you, the graduate, time to enjoy their presence and thank them for coming. Avoid planning a party for less than three hours.</p>
<p><strong>TAKE NOTE:</strong><br />
If you want to save money, you may even want to consider co-sponsoring the party with a best friend or family member, lowering your cost and sharing resources and responsibilities. Myfootpath.com writer Alexander Diedrick <a href="http://myfootpath.com/mypathfinder/tips-high-school-graduation-party/" target="_hplink">shares</a> another great piece of advice: &#8220;It&#8217;s a good idea to break your high school grad party into two parts: the family and the friends. Fun you have with your high school gang is a little bit different from the fun you have with your great-aunt.&#8221; For example, invite family from 12-3 p.m. and friends from 3-6 p.m. or even later.</p>
<p><strong>DecorGREAT:</strong><br />
Great and thoughtful decorations add flair to any graduation party. It&#8217;s important to first and foremost have a theme, which could be super simple (&#8220;I&#8217;m a 2013 Graduate, Hooray&#8221;) or college specific (&#8220;This is SPARTAN territory!&#8221;) &#8212; the choice is yours. Just remember to incorporate your journey throughout high school &#8212; before and beyond. While having a table or wall full of awards or mementos from your past is great, take the personal touch a step even further. Get streamers, tablecloths, and party hats in your favorite color or the color pattern of the school you&#8217;ll be attending in the fall! Position a table for gifts out of the way of the entrance but close enough for guests to be able to drop off their offering and get partying!</p>
<p><strong>Invite With Class:</strong><br />
While creating an event on Facebook and sharing the link online is easy, be formal and send invitations in the mail at least a month prior to your shindig as well (if you have no idea what the postal service is, ask an adult to help you). Be sure to clearly print your full name along with the date, time, and address of your party. Avoid using e-invites, as most people (especially young people) rarely check their email. It&#8217;s important to have a guest list so you can prepare for how many people to expect, but don&#8217;t ask for guests to RSVP &#8212; you won&#8217;t want to keep track of this information and it&#8217;s likely that people who don&#8217;t come will be supplemented by family and friends you forgot to invite that show up magically. Don&#8217;t write &#8220;gifts or money welcome&#8221; on the invitation either; it&#8217;s rude and unnecessary!</p>
<p><strong>Grad-style Grub:</strong><br />
The number one thing to keep in mind when deciding what delicious goodies you&#8217;ll be dishing out to your graduation party guests is convenience. All your food, or most of it, should be something fresh and fast that they can eat while sitting down, walking around your party or on the move to another grad&#8217;s get-together. Purchase a good amount of small finger food, such as mini-sandwiches and shrimp or steak skewers. Antipasto platters of crackers and cheese and olives, vegetable platters, potato and fruit salads make great additions to any party. Be sure to have refreshing summer drinks on hand, like lemonade, fruit juice and soda. As far as cake is concerned, have fun with it, just remember: plan on cutting it during the first hour of your party so that everyone gets a taste a slice!</p>
<p><strong>Farewell Fun:</strong><br />
Since most of your guests won&#8217;t be staying for over an hour or two, it&#8217;s best to keep the entertainment permanent of pick-up, meaning something continuously happening, like a slideshow or good music or, something that can begin immediately, like a pick-up game of basketball, Twister or Dance Dance Revolution. Karaoke is a great option, too, especially if you&#8217;re expecting a lot of friends! If you want to have a slideshow but are worried about space, the folks at party-planning website punchbowl.com have a<a href="http://www.punchbowl.com/p/tips-for-a-graduation-party-slideshow" target="_hplink">suggestion</a>: &#8220;If you like the idea but you&#8217;re not sure it will work for your graduation party, another idea is to purchase a few digital picture frames and display them throughout the party space. Upload different photos and let them rotate throughout the party!</p>
<p><strong>Thanks for Coming!</strong><br />
A great touch that can be as inexpensive as it is thankful is making small goody bags to give to your guests when they depart. While it won&#8217;t be expected, it will certainly be appreciated, especially by those who have other open house stops in their schedule that day. Think of including a bottle of water, some candy, mints, or even a small thank-you note, that way you won&#8217;t have to send another round of notes out after your party.</p>
<p>No matter what, relax and remember that planning before your party leads to stress-free fun during! This is your time, and everyone is proud of you. Take pride in your amazing party and cheers to the future!</p>
<p><strong>SEPARATE:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Shopping for a Fellow Grad?</strong><br />
The best gifts to give college-bound graduates come from the heart and help ease their transition to college life. Consider what they might need for their dorm to make it feel like home, such as bedding, rugs, posters and picture frames. If you have a stuffed animal that you and the graduate won at the circus or a picture from middle school, give it to them so they can remember you while away. Wrap your gift with colorful paper and be sure to write your name on it so they recall who gave it to them.</p>

<p>Well, this could make things awkward.</p>
<p>After three years of dating, <em>The Vampire Diaries </em>co-stars Nina Dobrev, 24, and Ian Somerhalder, 34, have ended their relationship. In a twist, Somerhalder then quoted deceased playwright Lillian Hellman on his Twitter page, writing, &#8220;A thought for today: &#8216;People change and forget to tell each other.&#8217;&#8221;</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" title="Th Gorgeous Kate Upton Cover Vogue" alt="Th Gorgeous Kate Upton Cover Vogue" src="http://cdn-ugc.cafemom.com/gen/constrain/500/500/80/2013/05/10/10/cr/7p/po7bi1uo00.jpg" width="307" height="408" />There are certain models you can just tell were always destined for stardom beyond the runway or pages of magazines. Think Christie Brinkley, Cindy Crawford, Kate Moss, Miranda Kerr, etc. As soon as <a href="http://www.vogue.com/magazine/article/the-kate-effect-kate-uptons-first-vogue-cover" target="_blank"><strong>Kate Upton</strong></a> burst onto the scene as the <em>Sports Illustrated</em> cover girl, it was clear she was bound to follow in those supermodels&#8217; footsteps and go well beyond the fashion world. Now, she&#8217;s confirming that in the June issue of <em><strong>Vogue</strong></em> &#8211; the cover on which she&#8217;s called the &#8220;<strong>hottest supermodel on earth</strong>.&#8221;</p>
<p><span id="more-33938"></span></p>
<p>By the way, while she&#8217;s been on the covers of <em>Vogue UK </em>and <em>Vogue Italia</em>, this is the first time she&#8217;s featured the cover of the U.S. publication. Score. And it&#8217;s an accomplishment that seems to be just one of the first steps in her master plan for domination of both entertainment and fashion worlds.</p>
<p>Quickie cameos in <em>The Three Stooges</em> and <em>Tower Heist</em> may have been just a preview of what&#8217;s to come. Kate told the fashion bible that she&#8217;s serious about having an showbiz career. &#8220;<strong>Acting I’m very interested in</strong>,” she said. No doubt! She&#8217;s clearly ramping up her pursuit of Hollywood cred, as she&#8217;s currently attached to a third feature film called <em>The Other Woman</em>, starring Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann.</p>
<p>She also hints at becoming an entrepreneur and launching her own lingerie line. Although everyone from Madonna to Brooke Burke have tiptoed into that biz, I have a feeling women will be more than intrigued to check out Kate&#8217;s take. I could see it her line being an awesome mix of retro-glam, young and fun, and sexy.</p>
<p>But not even being an actress and a brand may not even be enough to satisfy Kate&#8217;s drive. She admits, &#8220;I’ve always loved fashion, but it’s not what I set out to do&#8221; and later explains, &#8220;I’m American—more is more!&#8221; That said, we can expect much, much more from this ambitious cover girl.</p>
<p><strong>Would you like to see Kate do more acting and start her own lingerie line?</strong></p>
