This year, I’ve decided that I’m completely over the trend of couples costumes. I know that’s surprising coming from America’s biggest fan of love and relationships (or at least, America’s self-declared biggest fan of love and relationships... if you know any challengers, let me know!), but hear me out. Here’s why. Read more
