Fall 2010 color trends

First Emma Watson and now Anne Hathaway. It seems that the new hair trend in Hollywood is having barely any hair at all. And I gotta say, I love it! Anne looks absolutely stunning and this new ‘do definitely sets her apart from the rest of those extension-obsessed Hollywood starlets.

It takes a strong and confident woman to chop off all her hair (I know because I’ve tried…and then cried in the seat the moment those scissors came near my head), so bravo to Anne for taking the plunge and doing it well. Based on the gorgeous results and Anne’s status as a style icon, I have a feeling there will be a pixie-cut epidemic hitting HWood soon.

One of my favorite places to shop before school is J.Crew.  Everything about it is sophisticated, fresh and fabulous.  But my only issue with the store is that all that sophistication doesn’t come cheap. Sometimes I’ll walk in, pick up a cute skinny belt for my new pencil skirt (from Marshalls…), look at the price tag and try not to strangle myself with it.  $89 dollars for a string of leather???

As I repeat to myself, There are people starving in Africa, there are people starving in Africa, I promptly leave the store empty handed, looking wistfully back at the perfectly put together outfits in the window.

But thanks to store turnover and a whole new crop of Fall fashion pouring into J. Crew stock rooms nationwide, I can finally fulfill my J. Crew dreams. Yes, it’s time for their end-of-summer sale they’ve got some really great goodies to offer, all under $20!  I even spotted a leather skinny belt! Let the celebration commence. Read More »

Well, it looks like the Shnookster (thanks Ron Ron) is hearing techno jams wedding bells in her future.  Yep, that’s right – a nice juicehead gentleman has proposed to the pouf-queen in Steppin’ Out Magazine. He is featured on the cover, kneeling suggestively on one knee sporting military fatigues and a guido pout.  Wow, proposing on a magazine is quite the excuse to show off your pipes and chest tattoos, Mr. Jeff Miranda…can’t you start your own clothing line like JWWOW did or something?

Anyone who’s anyone a true Jersey Shore fanatic can tell this cannot be Snooki’s ideal proposal technique.  So here it is, in tanned and totally juicehead form:

First, he gives her a coupon to bask in a tanning bed sesh (sans tax, of course) and there, in the tanning bed – is a (typed) letter. It reads, “I promise to never bury my face into a bartenders breasts. . .or have a three way make out sesh with a cluster of grenades.” Following this, Mr. Miranda takes her to B.E.D.(the club, sillies) and buys her a pouf-sized margarita and spends hours talking with her about smushing on that stone dog (or was it a horse) outside of the Miami ice cream shop.

Prior to proposal time, they visit the gym to beast (after all, Jeff has to get perfectly juiced before flexing his muscles and officially proposing shirtless). After bench pressing Snooki herself, (in rhythm to “Get Crazy” by LMFAO) he scoops her up and carries her to that store Sammi said had cool t-shirts and buys her new $300 crystalled out stunna shades made out of diamonds and a jar of pickles.

Life obviously does not come with an instruction manual, and I’ll be the first to admit – sometimes I wish it did. When I went off to college, I knew it would take awhile to learn the ins-and-outs of living on campus, actively learning, and partying like a rock star, but it didn’t take me long to learn how to be what I like to call a “professional college student,” fulfilling all the duties and stereotypes known to man. It was easy. Post-grad though, well, it’s just a little more complicated. I never know where life after college will take me.

So, I guess I’m coping by doing what any 22-year-old would do: dabbling a little bit in this and a little bit in that. Although the LSAT is top priority (yeah you evil logic games, I’m talking to you), I have been on the prowl for an internship. In fact, since I’ve been out in California, I have applied for about a million (ok – probably about 25) different internships. Nearly every one required me to get college credit…which sucks for me since I’m past that stage. One, which I took, ended up being a major joke. However, finally, something perfect came along. For about two weeks now, I have been interning at a major online celebrity/pop culture gossip magazine. Instead of sitting behind a desk all day, I spent my first day at the red carpet premiere of Pirahna 3D. Since then, there has been no turning back when it comes to working celebrity gifting suites and Emmy weekend red carpet charity events.

Question for Tuffy Luv?! Email her at TuffyLuv@collegecandy.com and shoop.

Dear Tuffy Luv,

I’ll start off this email saying you must get hundreds of these, but even if this isn’t featured in the site, I really would just love advice. I’ve heard people say that asking for advice is just asking for someone to tell you a truth you don’t want to admit to yourself, but I honestly have no idea what to do.

Whether you’re a first year student or heading back to campus for yet another year of academics and parties, there is indisputably one book you need to bring along with you: Debt-Free U: How I Paid for An Outstanding College Education Without Loans, Scholarships, or Mooching Off My Parents, by Zac Bissonnette.

I know what you’re thinking: Why would I want to read a book about paying for college when I’m already in college and I’m getting by with student loans/ my parents’ generously footing the bill /or a scholarship?

Well listen up, pretty lady – whatever your situation is you will absolutely get some insight about paying for college that will, without a doubt, help you make better decisions when it comes to financially making it through four years, as well as helping you protect your future post-grad life.

Throughout history, paying for college has been a major issue on everyone’s minds. But although it’s something everyone always seems to talk (and worry) about, it is one thing that usually gets pushed to the side in the application process. Students send their applications out, they get their acceptance letters back, and then – and only then – the question of paying for that highly accredited university to which they’ve been accepted pops up. But with the cost of a college education rising at a pace in polar opposition to our economy, financial disaster is almost inevitable.

Without a lot of financial planning, people turn to student loans, which, as any college student who has taken them out knows, are a major stress-factor that can impact the rest of your life. Not only do students feel like they have to take out more and more loans to supplement an income during college, they feel utterly lost, especially in a world where financial aid offices will tell you anything. In Debt-Free, Zac explains “The role of the financial aid office to make sure that the students the school has admitted are financially able to attend – through whatever means necessary.” Because colleges don’t work as financial advocates for students, more and more students are falling down the rabbit hole of student debt. However, consider Debt-Free as a personal guide that will walk you through all things financial in the college world, by whatever means necessary. Read More »

What happened to the days when the most intense things to happen in a relationship was a game of Twister?  Oh my goodness, Mary is practically on top of Bobby! Scandalous!  OK, maybe I’m being a little over-dramatic. But, dating throughout the years has definitely changed.  And one of the underlying factors for the dating transformation?

Technology.

Besides the confusing text messages and application overload, technology has been a positive presence in my life. And, following in the footsteps of socializing, shopping and consuming information, the dating world has taken a cannonball-esque dive into the deep waters of technological communication.  Now you can use technology to do just about anything that has to do with dating….or “dating.” A year ago, I would never believe that one day I’d be able to ring a bell on my phone when I wanted to let my friends know that I was gettin’ some. But it’s happened, along with a few other “advancements” in dating. Read More »

Hate your job? Here are 8 reasons to quit.

A few tips for thrifting.

Monday’s Bachelor Pad was a lot like prom.  There were tears, there was less sex than was anticipated, and the unpopular kids went home early.

In a low move, even for Chris Harrison, the contestants were asked to select members of the house that best fit various nasty descriptions: Worst Boob Job, Most Shallow, Always a Bridesmaid Never a Bride (ouch!), etc.  Some titles were deserved, others not so much.

In the spirit of the most shameless BP challenge yet, I thought I’d go ahead and revamp the challenge a little.  Here I share with you my votes for…

Biggest Tool
Dave.  The guy really loves himself, right?  Like, excessively.  At first I found his cockiness kinda charming.  You know, in the way that binge eating candy corn seems like a “good idea at the time.”  But much my trials with a certain Halloween treat, David became too much of a good thing and now pretty much just makes me want to barf.

Most Undeserving of a Bad Reputation
Krisily.  She’s outspoken.  That’s about it, but for some reason it’s left the guys terrified and the girls completely in attack mode.  Personally, I think there are bigger bitches who should have left instead. Also, her boobs are fake, right? And if I can’t tell, there’s no way that’s a bad boob job. Read More »
