There are few more beautiful love affairs than those between women and delicious food. Fries are better than guys, sushi rolls are better than gender roles, and ice cream is better than just about everything. 

In the spirit of food appreciation, we rounded up 23 gifts for the girl who spends a solid chunk of time each day at work thinking about what she's going to have for lunch, and is always down to grab (or cook) dinner:

What little girl doesn't dream of hosting a wedding where guests have the opportunity to hasten their death? 

Former child star-turned-fashion designer Mary-Kate Olsen reportedly married Olivier Sarkozy in a private ceremony in Manhattan on Friday, multiple outlets report. According to Us Weekly, it was a "small and lovely" outdoor affair where the couple said their vows in front of 50 people, including their parents.

But the real party apparently started once things moved inside. A source told Page Six that the event decor included "bowls and bowls filled with cigarettes, and everyone smoked the whole night,” which sounds like nothing if not an Olsen wedding.  And, if true, that's all you really need to know, right? 

Olsen, 29, and Sarkozy, 46 became engaged in February 2014 after dating for two years. Sarkozy, who is brother to former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, reportedly popped the question with a 4-carat vintage diamond ring, purchased at a Sotheby's auction for more than $80,000 -- a surprisingly economical purchase considering the couple bought a five-bedroom townhouse for a reported $13.5 million in Turtle Bay Gardens in Manhattan's midtown area last year. 

This is Olsen’s first marriage, while Sarkozy was married to children’s book author and freelance fashion writer Charlotte Bernard, with whom he has two children, from 1997 to 2011. 

Congrats to the happy couple!

The contents of a woman's makeup bag say a lot about her priorities when it comes to cosmetics. But one thing that every woman should prioritize is keeping her beauty case tidy.

Shattered bronzer palettes, dried-up mascara and filthy sponges won't do you any good. So if you're hoarding any of the below 10 items inside your makeup bag, now's the time to clean up your act. Just think of all the space you'll have to fill back up with new beauty products!

And don't forget to give your makeup brushes a good cleaning, too!

British designer Lili Murphy-Johnson isn't afraid to talk about periods. In fact, she's sick and tired of the stigma associated with women and menstruation. Months after artist Rupi Kaur encountered the wrath of Instagram censorship with her "period photos," Etsy deemed images of Murphy-Johnson's period-inspired jewelry "inappropriate." The designer conceded that some of her photos were "quite naked," but she remained perplexed by the idea that they were any more offensive than the near-nude advertisements she sees throughout London on a regular basis.

"My collection is inspired by menstruation," Murphy-Johnson writes online, "and the frustrating, leaking female body." Take a peek at her latest jewelry line, and it's not difficult to parse out this inspiration. In one photograph on Murphy-Johnson's website, a pair of otherwise pristinely white panties is adorned with a single, strategically placed, red beaded spot. In another, a flurry of ruby-colored rings is displayed on a hand that's lovingly cupping a woman's crotch. Then there's her simple gold bracelet, fitted with charms that look like tampons, sanitary pads and feminine deodorant spray.

"I wanted to create beautiful jewelry out of something that is conventionally seen by society to be shameful," Murphy-Johnson explained to Broadly. "Periods should be a normal thing to talk about, but so often we feel embarrassed." She elaborates online, saying that her gorgeous, period-inspired jewelry consists of three parts: "Period Paraphernalia" (for example, the charm bracelet), "Blood" (those deep red rings), and "PMS" (centered around the hormonal mood swings associated with premenstrual syndrome). 

The Huffington Post checked in with the 22-year-old designer to learn more:

Starting with an easy one: What exactly inspired this collection?

The initial inspiration was my own PMS. The anxiety and irritation was holding back my work and I was struggling to find a concept to develop, so I decided to replicate the symptoms of what I was dealing with into jewelry.

How did you choose the materials for each "stage" of your collection? Is everything handmade, and how long does it take to create one piece?

For the "Period Paraphernalia" section (the charm bracelet, cuff and sanitary towel ring), I wanted to use traditional jewelry-making techniques, so the pieces looked very innocent at first glance. They were all handmade; it took a while to make each piece as some techniques, such as etching the carefree cuff, I struggled with. But generally it would take me a couple of weeks to make each piece as I wanted them. For these pieces, I wanted to use traditional jewelry materials like gold, silver and gemstones.

For the "Blood" section ("Laila's Flower" and "Overspill," the embroidered knickers and shirt) I wanted to be more open to what jewelry design could be. "Laila's Flower" and "Overspill" are photographs. I collected jewelry from markets that weren't associated with menstruation and photographed and styled them to match my concept. These photographs were just done one afternoon in the workshop. The embroidered knickers and shirt took the longest time, each one took around a week of solid embroidering.

The "PMS" section (the bouncing ball necklaces) were very quick to make, I wanted to be carefree with my making process of these pieces, trying to keep the object as close to the emotion I was trying to translate as possible.

In a past conversation between one of our writers, Mallika Rao (who grew up in a Hindu family), and artist Rupi Kaur (who grew up in a Sikh family), the two discussed the cultural and religious superstitions that have perpetuated the notion that menstruation is "defiling." What has your experience been with these kinds of superstitions?

Most people that I've grown up around have been pretty comfortable about periods, I haven't really got any interesting experiences of superstitions around it.

You, like Rupi, did encounter censorship online though -- she on Instagram and you on Etsy, when some of your images were deemed inappropriate. Etsy is somewhat of a different platform than Instagram, but how did you react to their claim that you violated their guidelines?

I was a little annoyed and surprised, as I didn't feel my jewelry was in any way offensive or inappropriate to be showing people. It was frustrating to be told I was doing something "wrong" when I knew it wasn't. I understand that the photography I used was quite naked -- but next to how women are photographed in adverts all over London every day, I didn't think it was a bad thing to show people.

In a statement on your website, you mention the conflict inherent in perceptions of the female body -- that the body can be seen "as so perfect, yet also as so grotesque and unclean." 

Yes, I do think there is a strange conflict with how people view women's bodies. Like I mentioned in my previous answer, women in adverts are celebrated and admired when they're in underwear or dresses and have makeup on and their hair styled. However, if that women is visibly menstruating, I think it would change a lot of people's perception of her, even though it is a very normal thing for a woman's body to do.

You mention the over-saturation of products in drugstores, too. I always wonder this, so I'm interested in your thoughts: How could drugstores -- or even "feminine product" producers -- help to change the general perception of menstruation? Would it help if we saw diva cups front and center in the aisles? Are there other things they can do?

I think some companies are changing the way they advertise their products in a really good way. There are a lot more humorous adverts like Bodyform's "The Truth" advert where they talk to Richard, or Always' "#LikeAGirl" adverts which were empowering about women and menstruating. I think these changes help, but yes, I think shops could be more open to other methods of dealing with your period, maybe more practical and less about "beauty" and encouraging the stigma.

For a lot of artists attempting to alter perceptions of the female body -- through #FreeTheNipple or projects like yours -- there comes a lot of discussion about an artist's desire to raise visibility for certain issues, but sometimes, attempts at raising visibility are interpreted as a desire to shock audiences. Have you encountered anything like this? Do you have any specific desire to "shock" audiences?

I have encountered comments of people suggesting that I am just trying to shock and be controversial, but that has never been my aim with the collection. The pieces I made were developed from my process of looking into what menstruation is to me. I think they are only shocking if the person looking at them is shocked by menstruation itself.

Finally, who do you hope is buying and seeing your products?

I would want absolutely anyone to wear the jewelry, whether they have periods or not. Anyone who likes the idea of wearing sanitary towels and tampons.

The 2016 Pirelli calendar is finally here and it's just as sexy and inspiring as promised. 

It was surprising news to all this year when the famous calendar, known for its nude and nearly nude images of the world's most beautiful women, announced it would be replacing its supermodel lineup with powerful women of achievement -- like tennis superstar Serena Williams, actress Amy Schumer, director Ava Duvernay, singer and activist Patti Smith, blogger-turned-actress Tavi Gevinson, and even 65-year-old author Fran Lebowitz. 

The result is a stunning collection of black-and-white portraits captured by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz that depicts these female luminaries -- some clothed and some stripped down to almost nothing.  

Leibovitz said the Italian tire manufacturer's annual calendar would be "a departure" and it certainly is, considering the only model featured is Natalia Vodianova, who is also known for her philanthropy. However, one look at the beautiful photos of Williams and Schumer is proof that sexiness and substance are not mutually exclusive. 

What do you think of the 2016 Pirelli calendar images thus far? Sound off in the comments section below.

This won't surprise NFL fans, but Americans are extremely excited about the Super Bowl (maybe even more than the next presidential election, or the chance to see Han Solo on the screen again).

And because there's plenty of football to be played between now and Super Bowl Sunday on Feb. 7, how does a fan rep his team and still look like he gives a damn about style? For starters, you'll need to look a little bit further down the field than the regular oversized jersey, puffy wind breaker and bright neon knit hat.

In an NFL editorial photographed by Marc Baptiste, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jordy Nelson and Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman show us how to do it, and Jace Lipstein, a stylist for the NFL and founder of the fashion label Grungy Gentleman, breaks it down in layman's terms:

"You want to be proud, but not overly loud," Lipstein told The Huffington Post. "I think that’s the key, knowing how to tone it down."

The best way to do that is to dress your team piece up by layering around it.

You can throw a team T-shirt over a hoodie and pair that with a topcoat, for example, or wear a jersey under a peacoat. "It’s how you pair it," Lipstein said. "Toning it down a little bit makes it look more polished and put-together."

Like all of your outfits, if you want to look sharp, you need the right fit. "Sometimes the jerseys are formfitting, and other times they aren’t. Size should come into play in your purchasing decision," Lipstein said, because the slimmer the piece, the easier you'll be able to layer with it and dress it up. "It will make that piece more versatile."

It just takes one team element to show you're a fan -- no need to go all-out. "I don’t think the millennial now needs to wear a [Patriots] hat, sweatshirt and sweatpants," Lipstein said. "They could easily get away with wearing a really clean, nice hoodie, a nice puffer jacket on top and maybe [Patriots] sweatpants, as long as the color palate goes together."

In addition to his brand, Grungy Gentleman, Lipstein says others are taking note of mens' interest in their personal style, and elevating their fitted styles to meet it.

He points to UNK, 47 Brand and Mitchell & Ness, which make team-branded gear so sharp you can wear it to the office, bar or casual dinner and still look professional and well-put together.

We might be in the thick of football season, but it's time to start wearing it slim.

Kylie Jenner on Monday finally released her own lip makeup line called Kylie Lip Kit by Kylie Jenner. If you're caught up on all of the K's in the title, be prepared to be let down (or not?), because the products have already sold out. 

Yep, that's right -- Kylie announced the site's launch on social media, of course, and when it opened up to the public at 9 a.m. PST, everything was sold out in minutes, maybe even under a minute, and as of now, everything is still gone. Jenner urges us to keep on checking, though: 

The lineup includes three shades of brown, including Dolce K and Candy K, which are lighter nudes, and True Brown, which is like it says, brown. With the kit comes a three-step system that will leave you with a look similar to Jenner's. 

Fans of the youngest Jenner are obviously freaking out, because the site is running super slowly and the makeup princess herself even had to tweet out some explanations.

Welp, while you can't get the lipsticks directly from the source, there's always Ebay. But you'll have to pay a hefty price -- like $90 or $100 for one shade, which are usually $29 each. 

Don't worry though, it's highly likely that the brown lippies will be back in stock. Until then, in the words of Jenner, "you guys keep checking!"

No matter what, Katie Holmes just keeps moving forward. 

Ever since her Joey Potter days on the creek with loverboy Dawson (Team Pacey forever, btw), Holmes has fascinated the public with her career choices, fashionable looks and, of course, her famous marriage to Tom Cruise. 

Despite the sometimes rocky road, Holmes refuses to live her "very normal life" with any regrets -- a bold statement coming from someone who passed up a role in "The Dark Knight."

“I don’t really regret anything that I’ve done," said the actress, who opened up to Ocean Drive magazine in a wide-ranging interview. "I’ve learned from everything, and everything sort of leads you to the next place. I just keep going.”

"I have a very normal life, and I happen to work in an industry that is abnormal,” Holmes continued. “I really enjoy my life ... I take a train and cab; it’s just about getting from here to there, and I don’t care how I do it. I have to get there.”

For those who "don't want to wait" for Capeside's most famous teens to reunite on screen, the prospect of a "Dawson's Creek" revival is slim, according to Holmes.

“['Dawson’s Creek'] was such a special time in all of our lives [but] some things are better when it stays the way it was,” she revealed. “I would love to get together with everybody, [but] I’m not sure a reunion would be as fulfilling as what we all want it to be. I’m game for anything.”

Other juicy tidbits from the interview? Holmes has a cracked iPhone she's too busy to fix and she, like the rest of us, worships at the altar of Beyoncé. 

“I think [Beyoncé's] not just incredibly talented, but she works so hard,” Holmes said. “We have watched her from the beginning just continue to push herself. She reaches her potential and she pushes it more, so it’s very inspiring.”

As longtime fans of Holmes, we'd have to say the same thing about her. 

For more from Holmes head over to Ocean Drive.

There are any number of self help sites on the web prepared to assist people in the removal of freckles, but how often do we glorify the small brown spots? 

Photographer Alexandra Bochkareva, a self proclaimed "ginger," shoots most of her style portraits with red-haired, freckled models to celebrate their beauty. Bochkareva told The Huffington Post that she finds the freckled models' faces to be "very impressive," and adds that her grandmother, mother and sisters are all freckled.

Picking up photography in 2012 after the birth of her child, Bochkareva photographed friends and family members who live in and around Saint Petersburg, Russia, building quite an impressive portfolio of stylized portraits based on models of the red-haired persuasion. Check out her amazing imagery below.

Kylie Jenner has yet to officially follow in her older sisters' footsteps and completely strip down for cameras, but she's blazing trails that are all her own with a very strange photo shoot for Interview magazine. 

The 18-year-old posed for photographer Steven Klein after being transformed into what we can only describe as a bondage sex doll that's channeling Jackie O. Dressed in latex, propped up and posed in various positions, Jenner appears on three different covers for the magazine's December/January double issue. 

To live up to the magazine's namesake, Interview's senior editor Chris Wallace sat down with Jenner, who revealed she's"obsessed" with her hometown of Calabasas and gets through life by trying to "stay sane and not read comments."

Also, her goal for 2016 is to learn to garden.

Love magazine's Advent calendar is back!

Kicking off the holiday celebrations is none other than Kendall Jenner, who somehow manages to make a hammerhead shark costume look sexy in a video clip for the calendar. Granted, the costume consists of only a giant head and semi-sheer, very short shirt-dress, so we suppose it wasn't too difficult a task.

Love's editor Katie Grand first teased the clip last week with a pic of Jenner in the silly-but-sexy outfit. 

In the video, which was directed by Doug Inglish and styled by Ryan Hastings, the 20-year-old recreates scenes from both "Jaws" and "Psycho." First, she sneaks around her Los Angeles swimming pool while suspenseful "Jaws"-like theme music plays in the background. Then, she breaks into her house through the window and heads to the bathroom to scare another Kendall Jenner (yes, there are two of her) "Psycho"-style in the the shower.  

This year's video is a far cry from Jenner's 2014 spot, in which she performed a sexy striptease and spanked a naughty Santa.

Just watch for yourself: 

And there will be plenty more where this video came from -- Love will update the calendar every day until the end of the month. (Lucky us!)

Happy holidays, everyone!

While buying homemade gifts is a lovely thing to do, thinking of it as a social good is problematic. Like locavorism and 'eco-consumerism,' it's part of a troubling trend for neoliberal 'all change begins with your personal choices' ideology....[that] doesn't work, at least not very well.

This is what you might call 'affiliative consumerism' -- people buying stuff from people they know and find appealing. People who are like them. On the face of it, this is a good thing: Isn't that what community is about? Yet it means that money stays in a circle of like-minded individuals.
