| “Love Hard,” A Holiday Catfish Story Masquerading As A Romance, Is A Swipe Right And A Miss Describing “Love Hard” as a serviceable, disposable holiday rom-com should be taken as a selling point, not an insult. That simply means that the movie is fulfilling the role everyone expects of it, following the Christmas TV movie blueprint to the millimeter. Since all holiday movies operate upon a current of predictability established by the Hallmark Channel, especially throwaway cute bombs like this, you should be able to guess where it ends up pretty effortlessly. It’s the journey that makes us question its worth. Salon |

| Why Everyone Has Money Issues, But Nobody Is Talking About It The thing about personal finance that is often underemphasized is just how personal it really is — and how so many of our financial choices are driven by emotion. Maybe you’re a compulsive online shopper who knows you need to rein in spending but can’t seem to stop buying things when you’re feeling low. Maybe you’re stingy to the point that thinking of how to pinch a penny here or there takes up way too much mental space; you want to stop, but your brain won’t let you. These aren’t just poor spending habits. They’re often related to intense, lifelong associations of money with difficult past experiences, insecurity in our childhood, and our deepest fears.

| EXCLUSIVE Interview With Taylor Swift’s Scarf While Taylor’s relationship with Jake is at the forefront of most of the Red-release dialogue right now, there is a third party who is taking up an almost larger amount of the cultural conversation. They’ve been talked about on-and-off in the past, but this is the first time they seem to also be taking back their narrative, and more importantly, sharing their side of the story. I was beyond honored to sit down with them for their first interview in this exclusive conversation. Sure, Oprah just chatted with Adele, but ladies and gentlemen — enter Taylor Swift’s scarf.

| Wired Headphones Are the New “It” Accessory — And We Should Have Seen It Coming All the hotties wear wired headphones, or so argues the fast-growing Instagram account Wired It Girls. Launched in October, Wired It Girls is a carefully curated grid featuring women from all over the world (plus a lone Jake Gyllenhaal) proudly sporting wired headphones. In some pics the subjects are looking right at the camera, others are candid pics, or paparazzi shots, taken while they are out and about. Regardless, the point the account is making is crystal clear: Forget wireless, retro-tech is all the rage. TeenVogue |
