Unstoppable Kilig Moments and Valentine's Day Fiascos

From Paris With Love

It has always been my dream to visit Paris. I've tried to ask my parents if we can go to Paris during summer but they've already booked tickets for Hong Kong. On Valentine's Day, though we never give gifts to each other, my boyfriend surprised me with a small box during lunch. When I opened the box, there was a silver heart locket and a note that said "Maybe next time it'll be for real." When I opened the locket, I couldn't help but laugh at the Photoshopped photo of us together by the Eiffel Tower! —Katie, 18

10 Things You Should Not Do On Valentine's Day

It must be the flurry of red or the high from the smell of chocolates that gives us the urge to take melodrama to a whole new level. I feel you, but there are better ways to survive the 14th of February than being mad at the world or just mad. Yes, I’m looking at you and those photos of your ex you drew horns on with a marker.

Scowl at every happy couple you see.
Every time a couple walks by, you get an intense urge to glare at them to oblivion. Approach a happy couple and hiss, "you're going to break up soon." Grab the bouquet of flowers from the girl and throw them with much gusto then run away screaming, "I hate love!" Plus points if you stomp on them too.
Go on a date with the first guy who asks.
It usually starts with you feeling bad because all your friends are going out on Valentine's Day. Then, a boy calls. You can't help it. Succumb to the offer whether the guy is your ex-boyfriend who can't stop flirting with other girls or a guy who has been courting you since fifth grade. Who cares, right? You need a date!
Buy flowers and pretend it's from a secret admirer.
Of course, you won't let yourself be the girl who didn't get any gifts so you order a beautiful bouquet and have the note say "From your secret admirer" complete with an elaborate story on how surprised you are when it was delivered this morning. Better yet, have it delivered to school during class. Ha! Who's pathetic now?
Lock yourself up in your room and binge on chocolates.Raid your fridge for all the chocolates (yes, including the ones ate got from her boyfriend.) Next step: lock yourself in your room and start popping one after the other into your mouth. Watch a sad movie while crying "I'll die alone!" Don't forget to wear non-waterproof mascara so it runs all over your cheeks.
Cross off February 14 from the calendar.
What? February what? Oh yes, it’s February 15 already. What February 14? You're sure Valentine's Day isn't real and that this Thursday is just that: a normal Thursday. No need to make a fuss. It's not even in the calendar. Hello.
Dress in black from head to toe.
Intricate black dress? Check. Spiky black shoes? Check. Ripped tights? Check. Black sunnies? Check. Dark eye makeup? Check! You are all dressed up for Valentine's Day a.k.a. the death anniversary of your hopes and dreams.
Sing an intricate diva song in public.
Inspired by Glee's latest episode Diva, channel Santana Lopez by surprising your ex with a truly smoking number or Tina Cohen Chang by performing a kickass song in public. That will show him. If you’re more of the guitar-strumming kind of girl, you can always sing a Taylor Swift song that perfectly matches how he broke your heart. After all, no scorned musician will be silenced.
Dress up as a witch and make a bonfire.
Gather all the things in your room that reminds you of your ex-boyfriend or ex-crush and burn them. Unleash your inner Bonnie Bennett by doing some serious eye twitches and chanting words no one else understands.
Go third wheel.
Tag along with your best friend and her boyfriend during their romantic date because your BFF is all you have and you cannot absolutely leave her side. Sorry, Prince Charming. This girl is coming with you. P.S. You're paying for your girlfriend AND her best friend. Happy Valentine's Day!
Be a miser.
No one can be happy on Valentine’s Day! I repeat, no one! Spend all day tweeting "V-day sucks! GV please! Ugh, I want to home!" and being such a grump everyone keeps a distance from. No smiling allowed!

Style Spotting: 2013 Grammys

Every year, the music industry gets together to celebrate and award the best of the best for the year during the Grammys.

5 Aww-Inducing Moments from the 1D3D Trailer

Have you watched the official trailer of One Direction's 3D film set to be released at the end of August this year? (We know, you've probably watched it ten thousand times.)

Here are five things that simply made us go "aww" while watching the trailer:

I don't know if you could have more of a dramatic life change. It's huge, man! We're just like, look where we are." —Louis
Tell us about it. In just two years, these boys have managed to keep themselves from getting kicked off The X-Factor and prop themselves to #1 on the charts!
"The hard thing about traveling is missing home and missing family. We literally become like brothers now." —Niall
We can only imagine how much they miss everything back home while they travel the world to meet and perform for their millions of fans. But how cute is it that these five really consider each other as brothers? Liam even says, "I've always wanted a little brother and now I've got four of them. All together now: aww!
"Are you crying mum? Well, get off the phone before I start crying!" —Zayn
We love how the bad boy from Bradford is still trying to be tough. We can totally tell he's missing his mum, though!
When Harry's mum looks at him and says, "No matter how big and famous you become, you'll always be my baby."
Who didn't squee at their baby pictures after that clip, right? Cutie pies!
"As a group we're stronger than if it was five people by themselves." —Zayn
We love how they've got each other's backs! We can't wait to see what goes on behind the scenes and on the road.

Style Equation: Sweater + Shorts

When it comes to fashion, the season does not always have to to be a factor in deciding what outfit to wear. Colorful prints can be worn during the chilly 'ber months and booties can be rocked even in the height of summer! So when it comes to sporting your favorite sweaters, there's no need to tuck them back in the corners of your closet just because it's almost summer. The best solution to combat the growing heat is by wearing your sweater over a cool pair of shorts! This combo is not only cute because of the different colors, materials, and styles you can put together but it's also an example of a perfectly balanced outfit. If you're looking to update this chic combination, take a look at how these seven bloggers styled their looks!
