We can’t tell you who A is (does anyone REALLY know?), but we can help you come up with a Pretty Little Liars costume that would make Allison DiLaurentiis wickedly jealous. Dressing like the Liars is easy, thanks to their clothing line at Aeropostale. However, Hannah, Aria, Spencer and Emily’s looks aren’t so definitive that […]
Parties, Holidays & Fun
#Halloween13: Pepperjack Cheese Dip with Oven-Baked Fries (Day 8)
When it comes to hosting a party, snacks are every bit as important as music, and Halloween is no different. I’m all for having a full dip bar, so you have plenty of options to choose from. In addition to the classics — French Onion, Ranch, salsa — and last year’s pick (Spooky Spicy Black […]
#Halloween13: “Shake It Off” Taylor Swift Costumes
Katy Perry used to be the reigning queen of #Halloween13, but last year, a new pop star to emulate emerged: Taylor Swift. The country-turned-pop singer has been our most popular costume to date, so this year, we HAD to create a few new looks in honor of 1989. Here are two Taylor Swift costume ideas from “Shake […]
#Halloween13: House of Cards Costume Ideas (Day 5)
When it comes to Halloween costumes, there is none creepier than Frank Underwood. Except for maybe his wife, Claire Underwood. Okay, it’s a tie. Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are delightfully horrifying as the Congressional power couple. Any old suit and fitted shift dress would work, but to really nail the look, focus on the […]
#Halloween13: Frozen Costume Ideas (Day 4)
Do you wanna build a snowman? Sorry, that one line will probably be lodged in your head for the rest of the day. And for good reason: Frozen pretty much took over the radio, TV and internet this past year. Even if you make it a point not to watch kids’ movies, you’ve probably heard […]
#Halloween13: Robin Williams Costume Ideas (Day 2)
We almost didn’t write this post. We didn’t want to, because we didn’t want it to be misinterpreted. Halloween costumes based on a deceased celebrity can really go one of two ways: a lighthearted tribute to a favorite star or, more often than not, a tasteless joke on who the person died. And we’re […]
#Halloween13: Guardians of the Galaxy Costume Ideas (Day 1)
Chris Pratt basically became the male Jennifer Lawrence when Guardians of the Galaxy came out. You know, the guy everybody suddenly wanted to be friends with, who made us collectively go, “Oh, why haven’t we known about this guy already? He’s pretty funny!” (Unless you’re a hipster, in which case, you were all like, “Ugh. […]

Tailgate Tour: How Wisconsin Badgers Do Gameday
In preparation for Saturday’s noon kickoff between the USF Bulls and Wisconsin Badgers, we asked two Wisconsin grads for an insider’s take at tailgating in Madison. If you’re a Badgers fan, tailgates aren’t all burgers and hot dogs. In fact, you might as well leave those Oscar Meyers in the fridge — on the grills […]
