Lululemon’s First Dog Product Is Actually A Clever TikTok Hack

A funny thing happened when I recently stopped by my local Lululemon boutique to browse. I was naturally accompanied by my rescue pomchi, and, as per usual, he was hamming it up with fellow customers. “If you guys ever made stuff for dogs, I’d be first in line to get one of everything,” I joked to an employee who offered Miso a treat from a glass jar at the registers. “Well, we don’t do that yet — but people love these mini backpacks for dogs,”...

The best pet for you based on your zodiac sign

Choosing a pet is not a decision to be taken lightly. You'll need to make sure you'll be sharing your home with an animal that suits your lifestyle, available space, and even your personality type. Naturally aloof people might not want to be constantly hounded for canine kisses, just as cuddly types might be affronted by some cat breeds' haughtiness or a lizard's lack of overt affection. With that in mind, looking at which pets gel well with your zodiac sign can be a good start to deciding which loveable creature you'll be inviting into your life. Ready to get petting? Click through this gallery to discover the best pet for you based on your zodiac sign.

The sad decline of Japan's street fashion subcultures

Pedestrianized Takeshita Street is a neon-lit strip once celebrated for its funky street art and wacky fashion scene. Today you need to look carefully to find the vintage clothing shops displaying their wares, anything from hand-me-down petticoats and lace-trimmed blouses to brushed velvet top hats and tea party shoes. Wander down Omotesandō Avenue and the contrast couldn't be greater. This wide tree-lined thoroughfare is one of the most exclusive streets in the world. Here, dozens of luxury fashion brands including Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Tod's line the sidewalk, attracting serious high-end fashionistas eager to purchase the very latest designer apparel, whatever the cost. What do these two shopping destinations have in common? They are both located in Tokyo's vibrant Harajuku neighborhood, known internationally as a center of Japanese youth culture and fashion. Harajuku is the birthplace of some of the country's most iconic clothing styles. Since the 1980s this fast-moving fashion mecca has served as a hub for dressed-up kids and it's where Japan’s fashion subculture evolved, including the most recognized —Lo-lita. Far removed from the sexualized Western interpretation of the name, Lo-lita, or kawaii, refers to the Japanese culture of cuteness. The fashion is highly influenced by Victorian and Edwardian children’s clothing, and it's still quite common to see young women adopting this childlike look on Tokyo's sidewalks. Another popular trend is Decora, known for its outrageously colorful and cartoonish attire and matching accessories. But Harajuku has seen better days. With each season styles change, and what was once cool is suddenly crass. Eclectic and original Japanese street fashion has declined, with the crossover to modern designer brands and mainstream fast fashion partly to blame. These days Omotesandō Avenue caters to an ever-stylish but more conservative and less experimental clientele. Meanwhile back on Takeshita Street the whimsical Kawaii Monster Café, a themed hangout where crazy meets cute, does its best to embody the spirit of old Harajuku. Browse the gallery for a look back at the most influential days of Japanese street fashion.

Signs your family doesn't care about you

We don't get to chose the family we're born into. Some of us are lucky enough to be welcomed by a supporting and loving family, while others, not so much. What we can do, however—once we reach a certain age and level of financial autonomy—is choose how to deal with our families. If we feel like our family somehow doesn't care about us, and that it has affected other parts of our lives even into adulthood, we can do something about it. But the first step is to recognize that this is indeed the case. In this gallery you'll find a list of signs to look for. Click through and see if you can recognize any of these in your own family dynamics.

Celebrities who married their high school sweetheart

There’s a certain mystical quality about a high school romance blossoming into a long-lasting relationship, one which makes regular daters swoon. It seems nearly impossible, or perhaps a thing of the past, yet it still makes everyone giddy and starry-eyed. Think about it: when you’re young and have yet to experience the world, you often throw yourself into love. There's just you and the person you want to go to prom with. But your life at that point is rapidly changing. Becoming an adult and growing into your own personality, career, your likes and dislikes, is often a journey that happens alone. Finding someone who can remain your partner and grow alongside you, as opposed to away from you, is a rare thing. These days, just maintaining a devoted and happy marriage seems to be increasingly difficult and divorce is rampant. And can you imagine what it’s like for celebrities in the field of love? With people constantly watching and tabloids at the ready, it can be difficult to block out the noise and give your relationship enough attention and affection to stand the test of time. Perhaps that’s also what is so special about celebrities who stuck with their longtime significant others: they have a partner who was there before all the glitz and glamour, before the rest of the world loved them. They know all the awkward and embarrassing stories, and they’re a healthy reminder of the person that remains when the cameras are off. Though any star out there could easily go for an equally-as-famous partner, or take their pick from a pool of people who would jump at the chance to go on a date with them, there is a surprising number of celebs who are still with the same person whose hand they held while walking to class. There are even some celebrities who met “the one” long before high school (and a few who met them shortly after). Check out this gallery to see which lucky stars found their soulmates early, and which eventually parted ways.
