From CollegeFashion: 3 Pieces to Wear Now and Later
Versatility is everything when it comes to fashion on a budget; when shopping for new clothes in summer, I always look for pieces that will work in hot weather and easily transition into fall.
Weekly Wrap Up: Beer Me The Weekend
What a week! I don’t know about ya’ll, but I’ve been busting my butt at the gym, trying to look cute before classes start again. There’s a lot of stress to look banging when the school year starts again, what with the new slew of potential Freshmen boys roaming through campus. But before I can begin my 5k regimen (or chug a protein shake on the couch), let’s the review the week that was.

Gossip Cheat Sheet: Can We Send Them All to Jail?
The lights, the celebs, the crazies – all reasons to love H-Wood. Even more reasons: 1. Lindsay’s finally locked up (for a few weeks anyway) and, hopefully, Mel Gibson will follow in the near future. 2. Secret weddings never get old (yeah, I’m talking to you, Orlando & Miranda). 3. There’s always a scandalous split going on.
Single. Accidentally on a Date?
I agreed to grab dinner with a guy who had been in my honors seminar this past semester and I didn’t think anything of it. When he came to get me before dinner, I just figured it was on his way or something. But then he paid for dinner and insisted that we go to a movie… and it was around there that I started to catch on.
BYU Is Living La Vida Love Seat [VIDEO]
Just when I thought college couldn’t get any better, two BYU brainiacs (or lazy sacks of shadoobie) went ahead and turned things up a notch. To a death-defying 5 mph. Where couch cushions replace rims, a La-Z-Boy on wheels may have just exceeded my Top 5 Inventions list.
Budget Stylista: Summer Style Goes on Sale
Every year it boggles my mind when boots and wool sweaters start showing up in stores in mid July.
I mean, honestly. Sweat is dripping down my back and I’m supposed to be shelling out dough on the over the knee leather boots and colorful wrap scarves? I think not.
WTF Friday: Sandwich in a Can
The Good: The creative name. Come on, Candwich? Win. Oh, and the fact that they also managed to squeeze some dessert in there, too. I know no canned sandwich (?!?!) is complete without a Laffy Taffy follow-up.

What Goes Up Must Come Down. And That Includes the Price of Textbooks.
Two good things come out of buying your college textbooks each year. They are great for beating your roommate over the head when she doesn’t do her dishes a blanket-weight while studying out in the quad and the short change you get back on ‘book buy-back’ day. The dark side of the spectrum of book buying?
Friday Faves: Looking at MYSELF Through Beer Goggles
While perusing (and by “perusing” I mean obsessively checking and re-checking) Facebook for the fourth time yesterday, I noticed that no one had done anything since the last time I logged in (an hour before). In a fit of never ending boredom that made signing off impossible, I decided to look at pictures of me.

Coupled. With Kids
Remember when you were little and you and your friends would play make-believe games? Of course you do (maybe you and your friends still do – this is a no judging zone). I remember a particular game that could be played anywhere from our Kindergarten classroom’s “kitchen,” to refrigerator boxes in our backyards.
