So it seems the people behind The Hills really want to go out with a bang…. and reignite Ryan Cabrera’s failed music career. It worked for Gaga (remember when LC and Whitney had to style her at some event a few seasons back?), so maybe Mr. Cabrera will be donning leotards and selling out stadiums around the world in a few years.

Despite the fact that 25% of last night’s episode was made up of scenery shots and Top 40 hits, the drama was most definitely there. And, as usual, it was all about Heidi, Spencer and whatever weird Hollywood Hills Cult they’ve joined. Like most people watching, I was shocked to see Spencer out of the house (with only 12 versus his usual 200 necklaces) and at the bar with the rest of the crew. I thought he just stayed home, played with his crystals (no, that is not a euphemism) and pet baby goats. But I guess he got a little cabin fever and decided to take his crotchety old man-ness out on the town.

For real: who pissed in this kid’s coffee? I swear, if he makes it past 30 without someone hunting him down, he’s gonna be that old guy who yells at innocent little children (or, you know, his sister in law) to get off his lawn. Read More »

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’ve sort of been getting bored with most of the clothes in my closet lately.  I tend to keep wearing the same things again and again, while other stuff keeps getting pushed to the back of the closet.  I’d love to get rid of all the stuff I’m not wearing and raid the mall for some new stuff, but I can’t really afford to do that.  But recently, I’ve found a way to get rid of the clothes I don’t want anymore AND get some new stuff at the same time–without having to spend a lot of money, either.

ThredUP is an online clothing exchange that lets you trade the clothes in your closet you don’t wear anymore with clothes other people don’t wear anymore.  Right now, the site’s only set up for shirts, but I’m betting (or at least hoping) that new categories will be added soon. Read More »

The downsides of dating your friends.

Every month when I pick up my Cosmo, my roommate always picks it up off the coffee table and starts to read it. It’s entertaining, I know. But really, the only reason I read it is for research for this column. Don’t people (a.k.a my roommate) realize this magazine is filled with nonsense?! It doesn’t even have juicy celeb gossip to read to make me feel like I’m part of the inner celebrity circle. Or even good fashion and style tips to get my creativity flowing. Oh well, let’s get to the good stuff (er, horrendous articles that we love to pick at).

First page I have bookmarked: the hot sheet. Scroll your eyes down to number 6: Vagazzling. Creative word, I must say. But jewels on your vagina? Umm can you say uncomfortable? Whatever kind of guy thinks this is hot is a guy I never want to meet, let alone expose my un-gazzled self to. Moving on.

In “The Love Mistake That Pushes Him Away” we are instructed on the correct way to ask our guy to stop seeing that girl we don’t trust around him. The article begins by suggesting we can’t tell him who he can or cannot hangout with. And by the end of the article we have learned how to tell him who he can and cannot hang out… only in a polite manner. Pretty sure no matter how polite or nasty you are when saying this, the message remains the same.

Then we’re given a fun way to pick up a guy. Cosmo suggests we take our bracelet off, stick it in our purse, and go up to the hottie at the bar and ask him to help find the “missing bracelet.” That is just cheesier than a bowl of Easy Mac. Don’t play dumb to meet a guy; just go up to him at the bar and start a convo. That is way more fearless than “losing” a bracelet in your purse. Read More »

For some reason, whenever summertime hits I flock to Victoria’s Secret like a freshman to a kegger. It is inevitable that I get there and push past everyone to get to the keg underwear bin. Then tear those $2.99 panties out of that other girl’s hands.

Don’t judge.

Seriously though, Victoria’s Secret is so amazing for summer, especially the PINK line. All of the bright colors, soft breathable fabric, and summer-licious patterns. There’s just something about the store. I’m going to go ahead and blame the countless dollars I spend there on all of the fumes from Love Spell they spritz in the beauty section…

Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Regardless, the summer-outfit-go-to paradise always has the funnest (yes, funnest) clothes out there; fun, flirty and youthful. So I took it upon myself to really buckle down during Finals Week and seek out the most bomb diggity deals on the cyber racks of Victoria’s Secret. Whatever that secret is. Read More »

Earlier today, while procrastinating on that whole “find a summer job” thing, I came across an article on Glamour.com entitled, “11 Things Men Want You to Do More Often—in Bed and Out.” At the top it says something about how men aren’t so different from women after all, because all they really want at the end of the day is to be pampered and loved!

So apparently (according to the article) your man wants you to remind him how hot he is, relinquish control of the remote, pick up the tabs and giving him frequent massages and blow jobs. What fun!

The list is honest and endearing, but there’s one major problem: most women don’t receive half of these courtesies in return. So now that Glamour’s gotten the convo started, here are some things I wish guys would do more often:

If there’s one thing all college girls have it’s an abundance of drunk selfies t-shirts. Sure, you need a few to sleep in or work out in, but the rest? They’re just taking up coveted space in that teeny dorm closet.

So why not use them for something cute? We’ve already showed you how to make a t-shirt pillow, a t-shirt bag and a fabulous t-shirt scarf, and we’ve got one more trick up our sleeve (pun totes intended): the t-shirt bracelet.

Everyone knows that accessories really make the outfit, and this homemade accessory is no exception. With two very cute varieties, the t-shirt bracelet is free, super easy to make, and even easier to customize. Plus, with the 1,000 shirts you’ve got lying around, you can make a bunch of these to mix and match and add some serious pizazz to an everyday outfit.

Choose your favorite design, and use your favorite colored soft cotton tees to make these comfy bracelets that are perfect for summer. Read More »

As a little girl, I always knew I would go to college. It was the way I would make myself in the world. Throughout college, I had endless internship opportunities. In fact, I had to turn down many of them because I couldn’t work them all at once. I had the chance to live in New York City for a summer and for a month of January. I studied abroad in London. I was asked by the English department at my school to complete an Honors Thesis – something only a few students are asked to do every year. I thought I did everything right, and figured my post-graduation experience would be equally as exciting as my college prospects.

Surprise! I haven’t even graduated yet, and nothing has gone the way I thought it would or how I want it to, and with graduation next weekend – it’s time to come up with a game plan for the ominous future.

Originally, I thought I wanted to attend graduate school and work towards a higher degree in English literature. I spent the entire fall semester working on taking the GRE exam, filling out graduate applications (and spending major money on sending them out!), and writing the most intense essay of my undergraduate career to send along to my program choices. In the midst of all this, I spoke with my academic advisor who told me “Charlsie, don’t worry about it – I think you’ll get in wherever you want, you’ll have the option to choose where you want to go. You’ll do great.” Despite the stress and pressure I felt from all this, her reassurance told me to expect the best and relax about my future. Read More »

You know the drill. Qs to TuffyLuv@collegecandy.com etc. etc. etc.

Dear Tuffy Luv,
So freshman year is coming to close, but with a terrible ending. My best friend here has decided to go chase after the guy I had a history with/crush on at the beginning of the year. I’ve moved on from liking him ever since he clearly rejected me in February and have been able to settle on friendly terms with him even though he really left me in the dirt.

To simply put it, I was humiliated, deeply hurt, angry, and incredibly bitter. I still am if I think about what he did and how he treated me. He strung me along and played with my emotions and knew what he was doing, and then completely rejected me. My friend, this ex-crush, and I have been able to work together and slowly build back a kind of friendship up until now.

Last weekend the so-called best friend and the ex-crush/fling hooked up. I am not incredibly angry by the fact that she did that, but it’s more of a thing where I lost complete trust in her. I had come to her as a friend when I was emotionally distraught and felt bitter and rejected, and I wanted to rant to her about my hatred for this guy, but I found out later that she told the boy everything I said. And then she had also told me she would never go and hook up with him because I had and it would be sloppy seconds. Still, she did this and I asked why she did only to find out that she has liked him also ever since the beginning of the year. Read More »
