Katy Perry's Nails Are Out of This World

Miriam Lacey — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 10:44:55 PDT

Katy Perry really likes Lady Gaga (she's even covered "Born This Way"), so it's unsurprising that she picked up on Gaga's talon nails and has taken the look in her own direction. Katy posted this photo of her galactic digits while shooting her new video for "ET." She's even brought her fanbase in to help, asking her Facebook buddies to re-create her "ET" makeup and then post pictures of themselves. Will you be excited to see the rest of the looks from the shoot?

You're Fired! 20 Signs That a Pink Slip Is Coming

Wise Bread — Thu, 10 May 2012 10:54:53 PDT

If something feels off at the office, you may want to brace yourself for the worst. Wise Bread shares signs to look for when a pink slip is coming.

There are two types of employees. One has a good idea of what they do, who they are, and what position they play in the company. They are savvy. They know the score. They are under no delusions, and will no doubt leave for another job long before they are ever considered as cannon-fodder.

And then there's the other kind. The guy who could get Gandhi to hate him. The woman who spends most of her day chatting on the phone to friends or doing online shopping. Or the nice chap in sales who is completely oblivious that the recent merger means his job is now obsolete. They all have Ostrich Syndrome. They couldn't see a pink slip coming if it was 8ft tall and glowing in the dark, screaming "you're fired!"

You want to avoid being in that second category at all costs. So I've compiled a handy list. If you can answer yes to THREE or more of these questions, you may want to think about sprucing up your résumé and dry-cleaning your best interview attire.

1. Are you no longer in the loop about, well, anything?

This is a huge telltale sign. Suddenly you're finding out about company news from the cleaning lady or the new girl in accounting. If you were formally in the know about all things business related, but now suffer from "the company's doing what??!" disease, the writing is probably on the wall.

2. Did you recently screw up big-time?

We're not talking a minor faux pas here. Did you lose money on an account that was previously bulletproof? Oh dear. Were you caught having sex on the boss's desk with the boss's spouse? That's probably not a career-enhancing move. Unless you're a real dope, you know if you have screwed up. And if you know, HR knows. It may not be the final nail in your coffin, but it's a nail in the coffin nonetheless.

3. Are people avoiding you at all costs?

Eye contact is difficult to make with someone if you know his or her head's on the chopping block. Small talk is just as tough. It's best just to avoid that person altogether. So if people are no longer doing that fun "stop 'n' chat" in the hall, or the coffee room empties when you arrive, then guess what . . . you may be a marked man or woman.

Zooey Deschanel on Her Signature Bangs, Her Ultimate Haircut, and DIY Makeup

BellaSugar — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 12:54:00 PDT

Zooey Deschanel, known for her enviably cute strands and love of all things vintage, has just been named Pantene's new celebrity spokeswoman. And starting this August, she'll be representing the brand's rereleased Beautiful Lengths collection. The Beautiful Lengths program encourages women to donate their hair to create wigs for patients undergoing chemotherapy, while the products focus on growing lengthy, healthy hair (perfect for donation). In addition, the beauty brand plans to donate $1 million to the cause this year.

"I was really excited to learn about this program because when women lose their hair a lot of times they lose confidence," Zooey explains. "You can also encourage people to try a new fun short style. If I could cut my hair today I totally would. I love a Louise Brooks bob!" While Zooey won't be reaching for the shears anytime soon, she did offer some beauty advice she's garnered from doing her own styling and makeup on the road with her band, She & Him. To get all her DIY tips and top product picks, read more.

Which Trends Work Best With Your Body

Lucky — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 09:30:57 PDT

Lucky magazine is one of our favorite sources for great shopping tips. We're thrilled to share this fabulous story from our friends at Lucky!

Whenever women say that they don't follow trends and dress for their body shape instead, I don't really get it.

It's one thing to be a Lauren Hutton-type with a closet full of The Row, who cringes at loud, hyped about things like nail art or neon clutches. But it's another thing to shy away from eye-catching, ultra-popular pieces (crazy printed pants, peplums) because "trendy and body-flattering" seems contradictory. It's not; each of spring's biggest trends has its figure-enhancing capabilities. Click through the slideshow below to see what they are, and why having fun with trends and dressing for your figure aren't, actually, mutually exclusive:
