Ready to buy a  new coat for the winter? In the process, you'll surely find yourself rifling through racks of black moto jackets, army green parkas, and gray tweed coats, but this year you'll also likely stumble upon an unforeseen shade: pink. Designers like Christian Dior, Celine, Simone Rocha, Chanel, Carven, and Miu Miu sent fall pink coats down the catwalk six months ago, but we never imagined the hue would catch on with the masses. Sure enough, the rosy shade is popping up on blazers, quilted jackets, anoraks, and ,perhaps best of all, menswear-inspired overcoats. The sweetest styles are a pale pink, neutral enough to go with nearly everything you already own, and happy enough to get you pumped for cold weather. And for those who have always loved pink, get ready to make some tough purchasing decisions. By Joanna Douglas, Yahoo Shine Senior Fashion and Beauty Editor

Designer collaboration fatigue has become a thing. After witnessing so many weak partnerships, sold-out collections, and low-quality materials, it's easy to dismiss upcoming diffusion lines. But if the recent success of Phillip Lim's Target collection is any indication, shoppers are still interested if the pairing is right. And Catherine Malandrino's new line for Kohl's looks like its going to be the next coveted collection. Yahoo Shine caught up with the French designer, the third to participate in Kohl's DesigNation concept, to ask her about the endeavor. "I don't think about the price when I design a collection," Malandrino says. "I think about the inspiration, the poetry. Making sure I create something very unique. Fashion is inspirational for many women, but not all of them can afford it. For me, the idea of bringing Paris to America and making it right for all women, this was really the challenge." Malandrino's collection brings her sleek, sexy aesthetic to impeccably styled dresses, skirts, tops, pants and jackets ranging from $36 to $130. The line is set to launch September 27, but some items are already available! Check out our top picks. By Joanna Douglas, Yahoo Shine Senior Fashion and Beauty Editor

Green tea, coconut water, acai juice. Drink one and you’ll have great skin, another will give you tons more energy, yet another will help you feel years younger. Sounds familiar, right? It’s tempting to rush to the health food store and stock up on the latest liquid trend, but do any of these drinks really live up to their glowing reviews. The latest liquid to tout its health benefits is Aloe Vera juice, but is it yet another magical libation that promises much more than it delivers? Nutritionist and author of "Eat Right When Time is Tight," Patricia Bannan, breaks down fact versus fiction. “There’s no miracle drink,” she tells Yahoo Shine. “Be wary of any overreaching claims. Many of these drinks, like Aloe Vera juice that are high in nutrients, can aid in a healthy lifestyle over the long term, however, to think that drinking these juices by themselves without making any other dietary or fitness changes to your lifestyle is going to give you great results just isn’t true.” Here's the scoop on other "miracle" drinks to help you decide whether to down it or dump it. — By Alexis Clark, Shine Staff

When it comes to kitchen tools and gadgets, it can be hard to decipher which are worth the splurge and which are good on the cheap-especially if you're stocking an arsenal from scratch. We asked the Bon Appétit test kitchen to give us the dish on whether to shell out or cut back on things like nonstick pans, thermometers, vegetable peelers, and more.

Hello, Lover: Store Your Shoes Carrie Bradshaw-Like

If Jennifer Salvage's wedding dress could talk, it would have some pretty wild travel stories to tell. It's gone dog sledding in Iceland, paragliding in New Zealand, and even taken an under-the-sea dip in Maui. The gown's been worn 148 times in 19 locations across six continents and has traveled a total of 147,500 miles. Salvage, 42, a Medford, NJ native, brings it along to every vacation in a backpack.

The "One Dress, One Woman, One World" project, as it was dubbed, began five-and-a-half years ago, when Jennifer married her husband Jeff on Easter Island in Chile - one of the most remote places in the world. Both are avid hikers, and Jeff, a 46-year-old professional photographer, decided they should wed in Chile after visiting the country on a trip when he first started dating Jennifer. He wanted to get some spectacular wedding photos (naturally!), so he shot his beautiful new wife in multiple locations under different lighting conditions. The dress held up well, so they decided to take it with them to their summer travels to the Alps and China.

"When we broke the dress out, people first thought they'd stumbled upon a wedding and were excited. Then, when they found out it was something different, they were even more excited. On the way home, we realized we had the idea of something special and went with it," Jeff tells us.

"We love the idea of using up the dress, reliving our wedding over and over again," he says.

The Salvages relived their wedding everywhere, from iconic monuments (The Eiffel Tower, The Vatican, Egyptian Pyramids) to scenic natural backdrops (mountains, beaches, canyons, craters) to sports stadiums.

Take a look at their amazing photos below!

Fattening foods are often hidden in healthy-seeming foods… and there's no better example than the ever-popular Cobb salad. Who doesn't want a Cobb salad for lunch? But who wants to gain weight eating (wait for it!) over 1,000 calories per lunch from a salad?

Bethenny believes in renovating recipes to wind up with a still-yummy, but less indulgent version. Her Cobb has fewer than half the calories of a regular Cobb… and it still tastes amazing.

Healthier Cobb Salad

Cobb salads give salad a bad name. In many restaurants, this salad is just a big pile of bacon, chicken, blue cheese, hard-boiled eggs, avocado, and ranch dressing over a little bit of lettuce. I don't even want to think about how much fat is in a typical Cobb salad and dressing at a restaurant.

I'm not mad at Cobb salad - I order it sometimes and eat a small quantity, however, what I love about the Cobb salad is that it was originally invented to use up leftovers. If you love the Cobb salad taste and you want to lighten it up, try this recipe. It's quick and easy when you've got leftover chicken and turkey bacon - and, of course, you can always make your own version, according to what leftovers you have. Nothing says it absolutely has to be chicken and bacon, and for the dressing, try the ranch and vinaigrette combination that I recommend.

Makes 8 serving as an entrée, 12 as a side salad

Ingredients

6 hearts of romaine, chopped
1 small package turkey bacon (about 6 ounces) cooked in the microwave until crisp and crumbled
Shredded white meat from a purchased 2-pound rotisserie chicken
2 pints pear tomatoes, halved or quartered
10 ounces Danish blue cheese (Danablu), crumbled
3 avocados, halved, pitted, scored into cubes, and removed with a spoon
5 hard-boiled egg whites, coarsely chopped
3/4 cup purchased low-fat ranch dressing or half low-fat ranch mixed with half light vinaigrette

Bethenny's Tips

Arrange the romaine on plates or on a serving platter. Arrange the salad ingredients in stripes over the lettuce, then drizzle the dressing in stripes over the top.

Use-What-You-Have Variations
Use any of these variations, or mix and match them according to taste.

Variation 1: Instead of romaine, try any crispy leafy salad green.
Variation 2: Instead of turkey bacon, try chopped Canadian bacon, crumbled veggie bacon, chopped lean ham, smaller amount of regular bacon (about 4 ounces)
Variation 3: Instead of chicken, try any chopped shredded, or cubed beef, poultry, shrimp, or tofu.
Variation 4: Instead of pear tomatoes, try any other kind or color of tomato.
Variation 5: Instead of blue cheese, try any strongly flavored crumbled or shredded cheese.
Variation 6: Instead of avocados, try 1 cup chopped artichoke hearts, or 1 cup sliced hearts of palm.
Variation 7: Instead of hard-boiled egg whites, try 1/2 cup crumbled extra-firm tofu.
Variation 8: Instead of low-fat ranch mixed with light vinaigrette, try 1/2 cup low-fat ranch mixed with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper, and 1/4 cup water. Light vinaigrette only, try a drizzle of olive oil and fresh lemon juice seasoned with salt and pepper.

"I won't wait hours in line for fad foods," says the BA Foodist, Andrew Knowlton. Yes, he's looking at you, cronuts, cronut concretes, and cronut pizza. ("I made that one up, but hey, it can't be long!") But classic, last-meal-worthy comfort foods, executed in their most expert, dare we say perfect, forms? We'll wait for that. For smoky, almost melty brisket; for oysters so clean, cold, and salty-sweet you could call them "crisp"; for the bread we expect to eat in heaven (given we don't eat so many pillowy doughnuts that we're sent to that other place). These are the five things our staffers actually would wait hours to purchase, stare at for a bit, and take a couple whiffs before putting in our mouths and closing our eyes, feeling lucky to be alive.
