Movie Moment: Blue Valentine

I feel like it’s been a while since we’ve seen Ryan Gosling in a big movie, but we are glad to see he is back in Blue Valentine, which opened Wednesday in theaters. Also staring Michelle Williams, this love story tells of a man and woman who were once in love but are now falling out of love. Mom is the serious one who works at a hospital with the hopes of becoming a doctor. Dad is the fun one, a man of many talents, who has a tough time committing to anything, besides his family. The movie seems to have a sense of familiarity that anyone could relate too, and almost looks really heartbreaking. This may be a good one to go see with your girls.

Diva of the Week: Freida Pinto

This week is all about dressing up, so we have to give our Diva of the Week to Freida Pinto who wowed in this little black, Alexander McQueen dress. The cut-out shoulders show just the right amount of skin, while the gold details make for a great holiday look!

Steal Her Style: Lauren Conrad

We’ve watched her journey from high school into a young successful woman, and no matter what drama this Laguna Beach star faces, her style is always classic and chic. We love how L.C. keeps it casual on the red carpet in a tunic and leggings, and you can steal her look with pieces from Dots! We paired our seamless leggings and white sweater tunic with some hot strappy, peep toe booties for a casual party look. Add your own touches with some shine and you can be California chic, no matter where you live. Check out more celeb looks in our What’s Hot Now section.

New Year’s Eve Makeup Looks

So you’ve already picked out the dress, the shoes, you have your whole night planned, all that’s missing to top off your New Year’s Eve look is makeup. As a diva, you know it’s all about looking good from head to toe and New Year’s Eve only comes once a year, so obviously we have to be dressed up to the nines. And, with the hopes of being kissed when the clock strikes twelve, it’s also the one time of year that taking an extra minute or two on your makeup is definitely called for.

So to help you get the perfect look, here are some of our favorite makeup looks that will complete your nighttime look.

Go all out with bright make up. Rihanna’s lips are a five-alarmer! Love how she dresses up a simple black dress with a fire-engine red pout and electric blue liner. Be bold—go bright!

You can never go wrong with a smoky eye. Balance dark, smoky eyes with pale pink lipstick and glowy cheeks. To get that shimmery, ethereal look, apply a highlighter to your cheekbones. This is a look that’ll go with both your kick butt leather jacket and a pretty party dress.

Ruby red lips are a staple for a glamorous night on the town, but we’re adding raspberry lipstick—like Alexis Bledel’s—to our must-have nighttime makeup list.

What look are you going for this New Year’s Eve?
