The look is back this winter as a great way to add a glam pop to any outfit. If you’re like us, you don’t have $216 to spend on a pair of embellished tights—luckily, a tight budget’s never stopped an ELLEgirl. Whether you like your tights ripped to the point of destruction, or sweet and girlie, you can make this look work for you with our DIY guide, inspired by some of the best fashion bloggers out there. You’ll need: a pair of tights, a needle and thread, and embellishments of your choice: our favorites are sequins, seed beads, and rhinestones. You can also use lace trim (the kind you find at craft stores), silk flowers, or cut outs from a different garment.Photo: Courtesy of Park & CubeStep One: Put on your tights! It’s much easier to sew when you’re wearing them, and you won’t have to worry about your beads or gems tearing off when the tights stretch to fit your legs. (Hint: If you decide to unleash your DIY skills on a pair of plain tights, you can add your embellishments at random. If you want to use a pair that come with a pattern, sew onto the thickest part of the design.)Photo: Courtesy of PeachTreeSupplies Opaque sequins, .2 oz for $2.Step Two (Sequins/Beads): Begin sewing on your sequins or beads. Hold you embellishment in place and slide your needle through the hole(s), securing it onto your tights. Thread the needle back through the whole(s) and tie a strong double knot. (Hint: If you’re sewing on beads or sequins, you’ll want to attach them in clusters of four or five at a time, tying your knot after you’ve secured each cluster.)Photo: Courtesy of ALLURIS ALLURIS 12mm crystals, 28 for $10.Step Three (Crystals): Sewing on heavy crystals is a little bit more tricky. Hold your crystal in place and thread your needle through the hole(s) and your tights, securing them in place. Loop the thread around each crystal at least twice, since they are heavier and make smaller clusters of about two or three. (Hint: Don’t sew your embellishments on places where your legs are likely to brush, like the inner thigh, knee, and ankle area.)Photo: Courtesy of CocorosaIt can take anywhere between two and five hours to finish embellishing a pair of tights, depending on the intricacy of your pattern and your skill with a needle and thread. Don’t worry if the legs aren’t perfectly symmetrical, half the appeal of this style comes from the whimsical, free-spirit feel. After you’re pleased with the level of bling, slide on your one-of-a-kind tights and be prepared to share the steps with admirers.

According to a recent article in the New York Times, that’s exactly what many teen couples are doing. More than ever before, it’s become a sort of trend for couples to share passwords as sign of trust or to show how serious they are about their relationship. A 2011 survey by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that 30 percent of teens who spend time online have shared a password with a friend, boyfriend, or girlfriend, and that girls are almost twice as likely as boys to disclose the info. The natural inclination is to think that if you’re dating someone seriously, you share everything with that person. No secrets. So, whether it’s a conscious or subconscious act, girlfriends and boyfriends swap passwords to show the other that “Look, I’ve got nothing to hide from you. You can trust me.” Ironic, isn’t it? If there’s really trust in a relationship, you’d think that there wouldn’t be a need to disclose passwords in the first place. And obviously, there’s a chance that things could go awry. Beyond the fact that knowing your guy’s password to his Facebook, email, or phone is an easy formula for paranoia and obsessively checking up on him, what happens if there’s a breakup? You can change a password, but you can’t change what your ex now knows about you from all that access to your online accounts. So what do you think? When you’re in a relationship, do you and your guy swap passwords? Do you think having freedom to check his texts, emails, and Facebook messages makes for a healthier relationship? Sound off in the comments!

Chanel might be the only brand that hasn’t jumped on fashion’s crazy cat bandwagon, but that may not hold true for long. This weekend, Stephen Gan tweeted a picture of Karl Lagerfeld’s new Ragdoll kitten. Her name is Choupette and she’s adorable—even in front of that unbelievably picturesque bouquet of roses.

Photos: Getty Images Hollywood blushed pink at Sunday night’s Golden Globe Awards, where everyone from Amy Poehler to Heidi Klum hit the red carpet in a soft shade of rose. The Edwardian-era’s favorite hue has made its comeback on the heels of Downton Abbey’s second season premiere, though its current revival came in a series of thoroughly modern silhouettes ranging from fishtail to tea-length skirts, mermaid-hems to feather dusters. While Best Actress nominee, Charlize Theron swanned in voluminous Dior couture (go Gaytten!), Kristen Wiig took the rock star’s girlfriend approach in a laid back Bill Blass column. Katherine McPhee, star of the upccoming NBC musical theater drama Smash, took to the carpet in curve-hugging, custom-made Donna Karan and Jessica Biel got tablecloth lacey in an Elie Saab gown that evoked a sense of the rural Midwest. Only Angelina Jolie and Hedi Klum added a pop of color to their looks—click through to see the rest! Katherine McPhee, Heidi Klum, Julie Bowen and Kate Beckinsale.

- We love the Golden Globes, they're like the Oscar's cool cousin who dresses extremely chic but also really trendy. The Golden Globes are bit more relaxed, way more fun, and are a total party. Since the pressure of winning an Oscar isn't a factor, you can tell that all of the celebs are having genuine fun. One of the things we love best about the Golden Globes is the fashion! There are some serious hits and some even more serious misses. Like Angelina Jolie stepped out of her usual black and stunned a white and red Atelier Versace number, whereas Sarah Michelle Gellar made us cringe! Click on the pics to see who dressed the best and worst at the Golden Globes.

- The animal rights organisation PETA just displayed an ad featuring Kim Kardashian. The poster said "KIM: These babies miss their mother. IS SHE ON YOUR BACK?" Read it and weep, Kim. You know real fur isn't fair!

- Demi Moore has been lying low since announcing her divorce to Ashton Kutcher. We get it, there's no way we would want to be in the public eye after being humilated like that. Well, we recently saw Demi with her daughter Rumer Willis at the Cinema for Peace/Help Haiti Home benefit and Demi was looking super skinny! Demi has always been thin, but this is taking it too far. Demi was wearing a black cocktail dress by Marios Schwab that showed off her bones and Rumer wore a see-through black shirt with a black skirt. While it's nice that Demi and Rumer are hanging out and supporting each other, we really hope Demi starts to gain weight again. (usmagazine)

- Natalie Portman, fiancee Benjamin Millepied, and son Aleph Portman-Millepied have been in hiding ever since little Aleph was born earlier this year. Well, we just spotted the cute family leaving a religious service (since Natalie is Jewish, we're guessing it was at a synagogue). We hope to see more of this super star family!
