35 Instagram Moments to Give You Major Re:Make FOMO

Re:Make 2014 is over, you guys! From Friday’s Re:Make conference to Saturday’s festival, we packed Fort Mason with folks DIYing, shopping goods from makers, stuffing their faces with food truck deliciousness and watching live demos of some of today’s coolest new tech. Whether you weren’t able to make it or you just want to relive it all over again, here are 35 of our favorite highlights from the weekend. If you weren’t there, be prepared for FOMO.

1. Philz: The day started early, but luckily we had the best coffee in San Francisco to get our brains buzzing. (via @philzcoffee)

2. Wall of Makers: The pavillion was full of inspiration everywhere you turned. For example, this envy-worthy hang out space packed with work crafted by makers who’d be selling their goods on Saturday. (via @dianawillard)

3. Paint by Numbers: It’s a paint by numbers project on steroids! All weekend Re:Make attendees jumped in to do their part and transform this giant drawing into a multicolored masterpiece. (via @secondsunco)

4. Balloon Bliss: What do you mean all conferences don’t have tasseled balloons? (via @showe)

5. Yoobi Bus: For any item you buy (or simply social!) they donate a Yoobi item to a classroom in need. The founder came to lead one of the day’s panels, but he also brought along a renovated school bus decked-out with Yoobi goodies and awesome activities. (via @yoobi)

6. Inspiring Panels: Yoobi and Yes To’s co-founder, Ido Leffler led a discussion with Oh Joy! founder Joy Cho and STORY’s founder Rachel Shechtman about how technology is changing the way we shop. To keep the audience on their toes, Leffler got hold of a pack of Oh Joy! paper plates threw it out into the crowd, frisbee style. (via @maureenluyun)

7. Cork Board Vases: All the inspiring talks and panels were teaching us a lot, but they were also making us eager to get making! Thankfully we had #MakeBreaks where attendees got to do fun, hands-on activities. Our first project was led by our friends at Michaels. We did our thing transforming vases using cork board and paint! (via @amyprwang)

8. Doodles for Days: Even after the vases, some attendee just couldn’t stop living our new favorite hashtag #iamcreative. Luckily the tables were covered in butcher paper and Yoobi crayons were within reach! (via @sarayahm)

9. Epic Mealtime: All this learning worked up an appetite. We had lunch outside on a sunny San Francisco afternoon at the picturesque Fort Mason. (via @lisamwojcik)

10. Hangin’ With R2D2: Mashable’s deputy editor, Chris Taylor, came to tell us all about the 501st Legion, an international Star Wars fan-based organization dedicated to the construction and wearing of screen-accurate replicas of Imperial Stormtrooper armor. To join, you have to have made the costume yourself AND it has to be totally accurate. At the end of his talk he brought out a surprise guest who turned out to be no other than everyone’s favorite robot. Taylor brought R2D2’s creator on stage to show him off and explain a little bit about what exactly goes into making a functional robot. And then, the selfies ensued. (via @thebritmorin)

11. Cupcake MakeBreak: We already had a chance to make a souvenir to take home, but we also made something that definitely wasn’t going to last more than a couple minutes. Wilton gave us cupcakes and super convenient pre-piped icing pouches and told us to decorate our treat however we pleased. (via @shansimp)

12. Future of Fashion Panel: Lucky Mag’s Verena Von Pfetten moderated a discussion about how new technologies and platforms are changing the lifestyle and beauty industries. The hot topic of this talk was Grace Choi’s 3D makeup printer. Sad you missed the talk? Check out Grace’s just-released tutorial on how to turn your inkjet printer into a makeup maker. (via @caivka)

13. Eventbrite: With all this new information about technology and design we started wondering if we were ever going to have to leave the house? Thankfully Eventbrite’s cofounder Julia Hartz came on stage and gave us some pretty convincing statistics about all the benefits of meeting up the good, old-fashioned way. (via @maureenluyun)

14. Emcee Selfie: Comedian Heather Gold was our emcee for the day. She also hosted a discussion with paper company, Mohawk Paper’s VP and Creative Director, Chris Harrold. In typical 21st century fashion she didn’t let the chat end until she got a selfie with both him and the crowd. (via @heathr)

15. Maleficent Transformation: YouTube beauty guru Kandee Johnson picked one lucky girl from the audience to undergo a Disney villain-inspired beauty transformation. Mission accomplished, Ms. Johnson. (via @britandco)

16. Re:Make Festival: After Friday’s conference, the pavilion was transformed into a space full of vendors, DIY stations and awesome demos. (via @instagramercy)

17. Miniature Air Plants: As soon as you walked in, you could head to the B+C DIY station and make this itty bitty project. We painted miniature wooden pots and simply plopped in our mess-free air plant (no soil necessary!) for a DIY that will add some life to any desk. (via @helloglee)

18. Robot Love: R2D2 came back to hang again on Saturday and was totally the star of the show. People were snapping pics of the vocal little bot all afternoon. (via @moyerthedestoyer)

19. Hand Stitched Cards: Hallmark hosted a DIY station full of string, needles and these pretty cards. Folks created their own pattern and sent it away to a very lucky recipient (or maaaaybe kept it for themselves). (via @drifterandthegypsy)

20. Behind-the-Scenes Braiding: Yes To hosted a hair station during Saturday’s festival, but we couldn’t wait to get our braid on ’til then. Brit + Co intern Kelly snuck in a pretty, purple plaiting sesh behind the scenes of Friday’s conference. (via @wabisabibeauty)

21. Lego Mania: Kids and adults alike headed over to the Lego station to build anything from their alter ego to a massive castle to a Lego loom. The best part? They got to take it home! (via @shopellalou)

22. Photo-Friendly Cookies: Wilton had a cookie decorating station, where the cookies doubled as wait for it…. photo booth props! If ever a food was Instagram-worthy, these sweet treats were it. (via @wiltoncakes)

23. Leather Luxury: Over 80 makers set up shop at Fort Mason for the day. These gorgeous leather goods came all the way from Alabama. (via @loyalstricklin)

24. Magazine Wall Art: Beacon Adhesives set up an upcycled magazine wall art DIY station. (via @beaconadhesives)

25. Tote-ally Crafty: Izzie provided tape and fabric dye to help guests make original tote bags. We immediately put our creation to use by stuffing it full of souvenirs and projects, natch. (via @izzeofficial)

26. Robot Shopping: R2 definitely had a fan packed-day, but it seems he still managed to save some time for a browse around Half Hitched Goods‘ Doka truck! (via @halfhitchgoods)

27. Festive Photos: So. Many. Instagram backdrops! (via @bambina_bakes)

28. Golden Tunes: It’s not a festival without a DJ. And it’s not a Brit + Co festival without a gold fringed DJ booth. (via @judyzpixs)

29. S’more Snackin‘: Why yes, there was a vendor making gourmet s’mores with a blow torch on this amazzzing geometric stone! (via @generikany)

30. Watercolor Lettering: Hallmark also hosted a watercolor lettering DIY station. This was not your grade school paint session, people. The results were unreal! (via @cafcaf_)

31. Save the World Sandals: Teysha was one of the most popular vendors of the day – and with good reason. The ultra-vibrant shoe and accessory company partners with artisans and communities all across the globe to help craft these beautiful (not to mention ethical) kicks. (via @drifterandthegypsy)

32. Sitting Pretty: This wasn’t a simple lemonade stand kind of set up. Vendors really went all out to make their space look unique. (via @theweekendpress)

33. Headband Heaven: Forever 21 helped us step up our hair accessory game with a DIY station. There were studs, fabric dye and rubber bands for tie dying. (via @charissadot)

34. Giant Twister Board: It was a giant Twister board and bouncy all in one. The little ones couldn’t get enough of this dotted fun! (via @britandco)

35. Grand Finale: And that was Re:Make 2014! Our community editor (and a maker who set up shop at the festival on Saturday!) Alexis celebrated a successful weekend with a bottle of bubbly. Cheers to that and to Re:Make 2015?! (via @secondsunco)

Were you at Re:Make? What was your favorite moment from the weekend?

Now that we're fully into Scorpio season, it's time to really dig in deep — especially when it comes to this week's horoscope. Scorpio loves to delve deep, explore hidden truths, and face necessary changes with honesty. However, embracing change in life requires courage and is seldom easy. Often, we endure considerable discomfort before reaching the point of saying, “No more!” or “I’m ready!”

Wanna know more about what that means for your week ahead? Read your horoscope for your sun and rising zodiac signs below!

Weekly Astrology Forecast For November 3-10

jasmin chew

This week, we can draw strength and inspiration from the planetary movements. As mentioned last week, intense energies are in play, and global events may be volatile, possibly even violent. The U.S. elections are this week, adding to the tension. It’s wise to exercise caution and avoid confrontations where possible. Stay grounded and focused on making a positive impact.

In your personal life, channel this intense energy into actions that improve your life and those around you. Mars, the planet of action, opposes Pluto, the planet of transformation. This opposition will repeat on January 3 and April 26 in 2025. The coming five months may be challenging, but they also offer an opportunity for a paradigm shift toward living in alignment with your true self. The key to navigating this period successfully is to stay grounded, centered, and resolute. If feelings of weakness, indecision, or doubt arise, take a step back, recenter yourself, and restore your balance. Activities such as meditation, walks, nutritious meals, dancing, creating art, or listening to music can all be helpful.

On November 3, Venus, the planet of love, opposes Jupiter, the planet of abundance and joy. This beautiful opposition encourages us to nurture what we love. There may be a heightened desire to socialize and indulge in life’s pleasures. If you've managed your finances well, this can be a chance to celebrate. However, if finances are tight, avoid extravagance and instead find joy in life’s simpler pleasures. Spend time connecting with your playful side by dancing, playing games, or taking a walk in nature. Spend quality time with children or animals. Whatever you do, just find a way to more fully embrace your life right now.

PNW Production

Also on November 3, Mars enters Leo, where it will remain until June 17. This transit includes a retrograde period from December 6 to April 19, when Mars will dip back into Cancer from January 7 to April 29. With Mars in Leo, we’re encouraged to be bold leaders in our lives, a theme that aligns with the Mars-Pluto opposition. Embracing change and stepping into authenticity takes courage. Professionally, it's time to take charge and lead — even if your “team” is just yourself! When making decisions, tap into your heart for guidance.

If you practice yoga or meditate, focus on keeping your heart chakra open and clear, as it connects our higher and lower selves. During the retrograde months when Mars is in Cancer, practice kindness and address family matters with compassion, offering an opportunity for healing any ancestral wounds.

Yury Oliveira

If you need motivation, a harmonious trine between the Sun and Saturn early in the week encourages discipline and responsibility. Saturn’s influence reminds us that navigating the Mars-Pluto opposition requires self-control and effort. This alignment can also help fine-tune your approach to routines and hard work.

Toward the end of the week, Venus squares Neptune. While this transit can bring confusion or illusion, it also calls for increased compassion and understanding of others' perspectives. Let go of control and expectations, be flexible, and embrace creative expression, whether through art, journaling, or simply staying grounded.

Brit + Co

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

Your horizons are expanding, with opportunities to travel or learning something new. Don't have time for a big getaway?Shorter day trips may bring fresh experiences outside of your day-to-day reality. No matter how long your visit, be sure to document your journey, whether through journaling or photography. An added bonus could be to spend some time with your siblings or reconnect with your family this week, too! The whole point is to just connect with your community and the world around you.

Brit + Co

Taurus (April 21 – May 21)

Are you feeling financially secure? Now is a great time to consult a financial planner and develop a solid plan that brings peace of mind. You wanna seek ways to create stability in case of unforeseen changes — nothing's worse than getting caught off guard by a surprise vet bill or other unexpected expenses. Like a bamboo forest, if you create a solid base, you'll be able to sway with the wind to remain flexible. You may even find valuable lessons in how your elders managed their own security, so don't be afraid to ask trusted loved ones for advice. Emulate their experiences, or go the opposite direction to create your own stability.

Brit + Co

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

This week, discipline at work will pay off. Even if you're feeling frustrated or burnt out, staying on schedule and focusing on details will yield substantial rewards and recognition from your superiors. Don’t get distracted by anything outside the task at hand...no matter how tempting the TikTok doomscrolling gets. Just approach your work with a joyful attitude — hard work is more rewarding when paired with genuine delight.

Brit + Co

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Are you prioritizing self-care? This week is perfect for recharging at home and embracing healthy habits. Tap into your creativity. Practice discipline by eating well and exercising more regularly (and yes, your Hot Girl Walk counts). Find your perfect skincare routine before it gets too cold. As winter approaches, building these habits now will benefit you in the coming months — especially when the nights get longer and motivation gets increasingly harder to find. And if you're looking for some accountability buddies, share your knowledge about a healthy lifestyle with your loved ones.

Brit + Co

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

With Mars in your sign, courage will come more easily this week. It's a fantastic time to take on leadership roles and bring joy to those around you whenever you can. The lighthearted attitude you have now will inspire others, so shine on! If new ideas arise, share them with confidence, overcoming any shyness you might feel because your thoughts matter and can make a major impact! Stay grounded, though — effective leaders inspire others without letting ego interfere and you don't wanna isolate anyone.

Brit + Co

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Did you successfully achieve work-life balance last week? Continue those efforts, as distractions may persist — and you really don't wanna fall back into old habits and end up struggling with burnout. Outside of the office, relationships might require extra attention, but don't sacrifice your equanimity to others. You can show love and respect to other people without forgetting about yourself in the process. So, prioritize routines that sustain you — especially as winter approaches — because balance remains essential to building resilience and strength.

Brit + Co

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

This week offers chances for you to travel and expand your horizons, Libra! It's important to keep an open mind and practice compassion toward others. Your willingness to understand and support people — especially your friends — will be met with kindness in return. And if they're being a little...annoying? Just remember how truly magnanimous you can be! The energy you put out will be reflected right back to you in the end. Stay positive!

Brit + Co

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

It’s time for deep personal insight and vulnerability in your relationships this week — as gritty as that may sound. Really though, embrace this opportunity for personal growth and release any power struggles you've got floating around right now. Instead, find contentment in everyday events, like the way the leaves fall in autumn, or how good your morning coffee is. Greet the intensity with these small joys and a resolve to achieve your goals. Oh, and your financial matters may finally find resolution — it's an excellent time to work toward stability and security.

Brit + Co

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Expressing love and devotion feels especially fulfilling for you this week, so soak in all those sweet vibes. You might feel overly generous and go overboard in your display of affection with your friends or S.O...just be mindful not to overindulge. Joyful connections with loved ones don’t need to be extravagant — small acts of kindness and creativity can be just as meaningful. So take your bestie out to lunch! Grab that book your partner's been meaning to buy for themselves! Remind the people you care about that you see them in all the small ways, too.

Brit + Co

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

This week really emphasizes health and routine for you, Capricorn. Even though mundane needs like this aren't always exciting, try channeling your energy into creating positive habits. Make and freeze meals to help ease you through the week. Get up a little earlier to listen to your favorite podcast on the treadmill. Grab a good book instead of your phone first thing in the morning. These minor changes can have a major impact for you! Also, acts of service and connecting with your spirituality will be rewarding during this more intense, Scorpio-driven period. Dig in and share your wisdom with others.

Brit + Co

Aquarius (January 20 – February 19)

Your career is a source of security, so continue working toward financial stability during this time. Take responsibility for your own comfort and confidence, leaning on all the effort you've already put in. And don't worry about marching to the beat of anyone else's drum while you're at it — apply your originality to build a solid future that works for YOU. Use your creativity to establish balance, focus on your priorities, and resist external distractions. You've got this!

Brit + Co

Pisces (February 20 – March 21)

Are you thinking of refreshing your home? You have plenty of energy for home improvement projects, but make sure to plan well and communicate clearly with anyone you’ve hired — or asked — to help you. Whether going big or sticking to a modest update, prioritize organization to avoid stress and debt. You can create the home you want — you just need to make sure you know what you want, so you can go after it accordingly! This is gonna make your space feel more like a haven and less like a burden.

Margot Robbie has a son! The Barbieactress and her husband Tom Ackerley welcomed their first baby in early November after a very busy year (after all, she announced she'd star opposite Ryan Gosling again in an Ocean's Eleven prequeland boarded a Sims & Monopoly adaptation as producer).

The Sirens producer proved she has impeccable pregnancy style at Wimbledon and a red carpet, and I just know she's going to have amazing mom style too. Here's everything you need to know about this new family of three.

How many kids does Margot Robbie have?

Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley have one child, a son! A source confirmed to People that the couple had welcomed their baby boy on November 2.

People also confirmed Margot Robbie is expecting a baby in July, the same day images of the actress showing off her growing baby bump went viral on X (formerly Twitter). In the images, Margot's standing with Tom on a dock, wearing black trousers, a black blazer, and a white tee rolled up to rest above her stomach. Leave it to Margot Robbie to make chic pregnancy wear look effortless!

Margot Robbie later attended the L.A. premiere of My Old Ass — produced by Robbie and starring Aubrey Plaza — on September 9, 2024. The ever-elegant star rocked a muted, off-the-shoulder bodycon dress (hello, fall style inspo!) and some adorable strappy heels! Her simple hair, makeup, and jewelry allowed her most major accessory to shine here — her bump! This is the first time we've really seen Robbie since her Wimbledon appearance, and it's no surprise that her look absolutely did not disappoint.

Who is Margot Robbie's husband Tom Ackerley?

Jeff Spicer/Getty Images

Margot Robbie married Tom Ackerley in 2016 after they met on the set of Suite Française in 2013. Tom is an actor (he appeared as an extra on the first three Harry Potter movies), and a film producer. The two also co-founded their production company LuckyChap Entertainment in 2014 and have worked on movies like I, Tonya,Promising Young Woman,Maid, and Saltburn.

What have Tom Ackerley and Margot Robbie said about their relationship?

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

Margot Robbie and Tom Ackerley love spending time together, and Tom told The Sunday Times they spend "24 hours a day together."

"It’s seamless," he continues. "We don’t have a toggle on, toggle off. It’s all become one thing.”

“Being married is actually the most fun ever, life got way more fun somehow," Margot told Porter in 2018. "I have a responsibility being someone’s wife, I want to be better."

Margot has also been vocal about how frustrating it is to constantly be asked about children, telling Radio Times in 2019 that, "I'm so angry that there's this social contract," she says. "You're married, now have a baby. Don't presume. I'll do what I'm going to do."

What is Margot Robbie's baby name?

Margot and Tom haven't officially shared their baby's name yet, but we're all ears should they choose to do so.

How old is Margot Robbie?

Margot Robbie just celebrated her 34th birthday on July 2. Tom Ackerley turned 34 on June 13, so there's only a one-month age gap between this celeb couple.

Don't get me wrong, tacky holiday decorations can be a lot of fun, from ugly sweater parties to Griswold-style outdoor lights. I love strolling the neighborhood for the most OTT holiday houses and thinking creatively what I'll wear to my friend Marie's annual corny Christmas party. I'm here for all the intentional tacky decor.... just not in my home. Tacky can also mean plastic and wasteful and just well hard to look at if you're going for any sort of non-tacky decor aesthetic. If you want to invest in more natural holiday decor this year (fresh pine wreaths, linen tree skirts, beeswax candles), steer clear of these tacky holiday decorations!

Super-Sized Yard Decor

Wayfair

Fionnula Bumble Lighted Display

As much as my kiddo loves these over-the-top inflatables and animated light-up figures, I have to say no to the super-sized lawn ornaments, like Santa riding a motorcycle, enormous snowmen, or this Bumble Lighted Display from the movie classic "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." They can be pricey and take up a ton of storage, but for those who love them the more the merrier!

Christmas Light Explosions

Covering every square inch of your house, trees, and yard with twinkling, multicolored lights or flashing LEDs can look chaotic and well crazy. It's an art form to get it right, but when done well it can bring holiday cheer to the block. When done wrong, well, it's sort of a waste of time and money.

Tinsel Snot

Amazon

Amazon Christmas Icicle Tinsel

Is tinsel making a comeback? Please say it isn't so. It not only looks tacky IMHO, but it makes it harder to recycle your natural tree. (Our Girl Scout chapter picks up our trees the day after Christmas for recycling - but not if there's tinsel on it!). Anyway, if you have nostalgia feels for tinsel, go for it sparingly and avoid this drippy snot look. We want to see that pretty tree!

Ugly Christmas Sweaters

Tipsy Elves

Tipsy Elves Women's Ugly Christmas Sweater

Ugly Christmas sweaters are intentionally tacky, but what's with all the stores capitalizing on them? I liked it back when you could get creative and DIY your holiday sweater, but now you can find racks full of garish colors, clashing patterns, and glittery appliqués. Maybe we can rein it in this year?

Overly Trad Decor

Wayfair

Faux Lighted Wreath

The angels, the harps, the bells, the Merry Christmas sign, oh my! Overly trad Christmas decor can make a home feel dated. Sure, if you have some childhood favorites, toss them into the mix of modern-day neutral holiday decor, like natural linens, fresh garland, and naturally scented candles.

Metallic Garland

Amazon

Amazon Metallic Garland

Can we just skip the metallic garland this year? It's wasteful, it's hard to wrap and unwrap around your tree (so much so you just want to toss it in the trash after), and it just makes your tree look like a blast from the past.

According to Stanford University's Waste Reduction, Recycling, Composting and Solid Waste Program, household waste increases by more than 25 percent during the holidays with additional waste like packaging, wrapping paper, and one-use decorations contributing an additional 1 million tons of landfill trash each week from Thanksgiving to New Year's. Better alternatives? Satin ribbons, dried orange slices, cranberry garlands, and felt garlands that you won't throw away. Even the classic construction paper chain link would be an upgrade!

Corny Theme Pillows

Amazon

Christmas Theme Pillows

I'm on the fence about the Buffalo plaid too, but it's a classic pattern (we just see it everywhere now). The pillows on the other hand are a little much, no?

Chair Covers

Amazon

Christmas Chair Covers

Why do we need these? Maybe just tie a velvet ribbon with mistletoe or add Scandi-style sheepskin to your chairs and call it a holiday.

Christmas Character Themes

Amazon

Grinch's Christmas Tree Decorations

The Grinch's green isn't quite Christmas green, putting it even higher on the tacky spectrum. Anything with characters says tacky to me and sort of distorts the meaning of the holidays.

Bathroom Decorations

Amazon

Christmas Theme Bathroom Decorations

If you want to make your guests giggle, this tacky set will do the trick.

Porch Banners

Amazon

Christmas Porch Banners

Loud and proud!

Kitschy Tea Towels

Amazon

Amazon Christmas Towels

The jokes just don't quite hit the way they should. Also, the traditional red and green are killing me! But of course, there's a time and place for tacky Christmas decorations and bringing a little joy to the season. Happy holidays!
