We're happy to present this post from our partner site Yahoo! Shine:

According to an American Express survey of 1,518 people, guests will spend an average of $539 per wedding this year — and that's just to attend the event, not to be a member of the wedding party. The wallet-busting figure is up $200 from 2012, when guests reported shelling out an average of $329 on clothes, hotel rooms, and gifts.

The real cost is probably even higher given the estimates for some of the costs. The credit card company says that guests will budget just $57 for new clothes, $27 for a babysitter or pet sitter, and $95 for a hotel room—all of which seems astoundingly low, even for a local event. Members of the bridal party can count on spending a little bit more, thanks to slightly higher clothing costs: about $577 per wedding, according to American Express.

A peplum top may be a ladylike staple, but community member fadelamecheri shows how to style one up for a day downtown. Her black top gets added sex appeal from a strategically placed cutout, while her colorful pants added a splash of personality to the mix. Adding the perfect amount of polish to her bohemian look are a pair of dark sandals, making this the perfect ensemble to transition effortlessly from day to night.

Congrats, fadelamecheri!

This question is from a Group Therapy post in our community. Add your advice in the comments!

I've spent quite a bit of time (alone and with others) with a guy over the last few months and met some of his friends and family. I'm not completely sure how I feel about him, but I think I may be more interested in him than I'm willing to admit to myself. Last night, we had plans to hang out, alone, although we hadn't decided what to do yet. We set this up four days in advance. The day before, he asked if I wanted to go to dinner with his friend who was visiting. I said OK, but I was a little hurt, I guess because I was looking forward to spending time alone with him. Should I have been hurt? I ended up not going because I was also upset that he didn't offer to pick me up. This actually made me really upset. Should I be upset? Should I tell him that I was upset with him?

Ever wonder how stars go from dark hair to blond hair almost instantly? Allure spoke to the experts and got the scoop.

Whenever I talk to colorists about dyeing my naturally dark hair light blond, they act like I just decided to get a tattoo on my face. And both times I've tried it, the colorist has taken me on a six-month, multiple-salon-trip odyssey, by the end of which I didn't even want to be blond anymore. Maybe this is just how things are, but if that's true, then how is it that celebrities like Reese Witherspoon, Anne Hathaway, and Jennifer Lawrence are able to bypass the weird, partially highlighted phase and go from dark to light without destroying their hair? Get the answers from stylist Tracey Cunningham when you keep reading.
