“Empire” Costume Ideas
The only thing more enjoyable than watching Cookie Lyon, the ex-wife of a drug dealer-turned-hip-hop mogul, plot to get half of her ex’s fortune is copying her fierce-yet-fabulous style.

“Elastic Heart” Sia Costume
Admit it: Sia’s songs get lodged in your brain for days, and even if Maddie Ziegler’s dance moves in “Chandelier” and “Elastic Heart” creeped you out at first, you’re now kind of into the look.

7 White Elephant Gift Ideas People Will Fight Over
It wouldn’t be the holiday season without at least one invitation to a White Elephant, Secret Santa or Yankee Swap gift exchange.
