Wardrobe Wish List: Sorel Caribou Boots
Those of us east coasters lugging our duffels and a month’s worth of mom’s cooking back to school have the added joy of doing it in below freezing temperatures. I’ve feared losing some toes to frostbite one too many times in the past couple of weeks and it has left me scolding my Uggs for not being able to keep out the frigid air.
Golden Globe Fashion: Our Fave Bits and Pieces
While the Golden Globes were pretty entertaining last night (what’s funnier than watching celebs make fun of each other and take serious jabs at NBC), the true magic of the show began a few hours before Ricky Gervais (be still my heart) took the stage. And that magic is better known as the Red Carpet.

Body Blog: Feel The (After)Burn?
Ever wonder why those treacherous treadmill sessions haven’t turned you into the next Gisele?
Are you one of those people who thinks that you can eat a slice of pizza after leaving the gym because the body is supposed to burn more fat on days that you exercise? Well, step away from the pizza, woman.
The Weekly Ten: Ten Best Internet Memes, Ever.
It’s Monday, so you know what that means: The day is gonna suck It’s time for The Weekly Ten! This week I’m going to breathe through my anger (so I don’t Ronnie someone) and take a turn to the nerdy side. I love those internet memes. Sharing an inside joke with millions of people? Yes please. Mocking Kanye? Even better.
The Golden Globes Red Carpet Live-blog
It’s finally here! The glitz, the glamor, the celebrities stuffed into Spanx so they look flawless in their couture gowns. Yes, the Golden Globes pre-show is about to start and, OMG, we could not be more excited! Sure, the actual awards show is gonna be fantastic (go Gabourey Sidibe!), but we’re all about the fashion around here.
Overheard: Slim Pickings
(Girl, complaining in the student union lounge.) Girl: I used to like Gaga, you know, back when I thought she was a hermaphrodite. Like, I’d watch her, and I’d be like “yeah, this is good, I like this,” but I was always on my toes. Because you never know when something might just – pop out! It was exciting.
The Morning After: Bucket O Wings
My sophomore year I lived with my best friend in an all-girls’ dorm. Needless to say, squeezing 500+ girls into one building was begging for trouble. Constantly surrounded by tampon wrappers, curling irons and vaginas (I mean, really) took its toll on my tiny, horny roomie. She met a guy in her Creative Writing class who she believed to be “the One,”even though he was an obvious tool (bleach blonde, tan, AND president of a frat).

From CollegeFashion: Top 5 Drugstore Beauty Steals
While I love Sephora, MAC, and department store makeup counters, I don’t love looking at my bank account after spending an afternoon there. While I do believe that “you get what you pay for,” I know that there are some awesome drugstore products out there that work better than their expensive counterparts.
Golden Globes Red Carpet All-Stars
All year long I look forward to award show season, the best time to see my favorite celebs hitting the red carpet looking all kinds of fabulous. Sure, I love seeing who wins the awards and what the “experts” consider the best movie of the year, but everyone knows the best thing about these award shows is checking out what everyone is wearing.

We’re Live-blogging The Golden Globes!
What are you doing Sunday night? Nursing a hangover? Ordering in some greasy Chinese? Catching up on all that reading you skipped all weekend? Wanna watch the Golden Globes with us? Well, the Red Carpet, at least?
Confessions of a College Cocktail Waitress
Giving up my nights out was not something I was especially prepared to do when I started scouring my college town for a job; who wants to be folding clothes amidst an asthma-inducing Abercrombie cologne cloud late into the evening when your girls are out at $1 pitcher night? Nobody. That’s why I became a cocktail waitress.
Saturday Read: Beautiful Creatures, by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
I had seen a few advance reviews for “Beautiful Creatures” by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl, all of which raved about the novel, so I went into it with pretty high expectations. On top of that, it’s one of the few books ever to be selected as a “Heather’s Pick” at Chapters/Indigo (Canadian Barnes & Noble basically).
