I’m pretty sure all of us have had at least one Barbie doll in our lives. In fact, I’m pretty sure some of us had an entire Barbie army. She was just too gorgeous with that luxurious blonde hair, that elaborate wardrobe that fit her body to a tee, those feet that fit perfectly into even the highest of high heels.

But in real life, Barbie isn’t so cute. Actually, Barbie is pretty scary.

At 5’9″, with a 39″ bust, 18″ waist, 33″ hips, and a size 3 shoe, this is what Barbie would look like as an actual person. And the best words to describe real life Barbie would be effing scary severely disproportionate. Read More »

Hi Dude -

I’m 21 years old and a junior in college.  I’ve had a few boyfriends, but none lasting any more than 9 months, so I’ve spent quite a bit of time being single in the last 3-4 years.  On the flip side, I’ve never just casually dated someone, it’s always turned into a relationship.

Recently, I had a date with a really great guy that I met through the organization that we both volunteer for.  We hit it off right away, had great conversation for the 4 hours we were volunteering together, and he asked if I was interested in hanging out with him the next day.  We went to a local concert, had a lot fun, had a few drinks, had great conversation (again), he took me home, walked me to my door and we had a long, passionate kiss.  Before he left, I told him that I understood how busy his schedule was (he’s graduating in May, on top of having a job and an internship), but I would love to see him again.  He agreed, saying we would “definitely” do it again.  I texted him the next day, thanking him for everything and wishing him a great day.

Fast forward two weeks, and there has been no contact.  At all.  I felt hurt and a little upset.  I ended up sending him a casual, “Hey (name), hope you had a great week, just wanted to say hi.”  He said his weeks had been stressful, asked how I had been doing, and sent nothing back after my response.  Like I said before, I understand he is busy with the semester wrapping up, but I have never not been followed up for a second date.  This wouldn’t be such a big deal if I didn’t think I would ever see him again, but before going on this date with him I secured a summer internship at the organization – meaning I will be seeing more of him over the next 4 months.  He knows I’m interested in seeing him again, so I’m considering just waiting until summertime to let things progress, if he chooses to let it.  But I am also preparing myself for the possible, “I’m just not feeling this thing” talk.

My question is, because I’m new to this whole casual-dating thing, how can I learn to not become so attached to someone after just one date?  I’ve never known anything different, so when rejection strikes, I take it somewhat personally.  How can I be better at handling this?

Attention, ladies. I’ve got big news.

Reese Witherspoon is launching her own fragrance.

…

Okay. So I guess the news wasn’t really that big of a deal after all. I mean, what celebrity doesn’t have a fragrance these days? No, really, what celebrity doesn’t? Reese Witherspoon is actually the 465th celebrity to ever do this. That’s a lot of celebrities and definitely a lot of scents, which has gotten me thinking: How exactly do they create these scents? What are the ingredients? They must be relevant to the celebs themselves, right? You know, to set them apart. Well, if that’s the case I’ve got a few ideas on what must be in each of them.

What would be in your signature scent?

[Sarabeth here, back with some more jams to add to your iTunes library! Every Wednesday, I'm bringing you music suggestions - could be something new, old, hugely popular or fairly unknown -  to awesome-ify your  collection.]

Well, springtime in central Texas was short lived. We had a week of 70 degree weather, but now it’s back to being balls hot. For that one brief period of AMAZING weather, I reveled in being able to drive around town with my windows down and my music way, way up. And nothing says window-down music like a little old school. And nothing says old school like Weezer’s Blue Album. (You know, when they were still good.)

About the Band:
Weezer is an alternative rock back hailing from, of course, LA, California. Front man Rivers Cuomo is currently backed up by Patrick Wilson, Brian Bell, and Scott Shiner. While famous in their own right, back in the day their first gig was opening for Keanu Reeve’s band, Dogstar Read More »

What It Is:
Lime Crime Lipstick in Coquette

Why This Should Be in Your Bag:
Lime Crime is a brand created by Doe Deere as her solution to all the boring cosmetics out there. It’s known for carrying outrageous colors (blue lipstick, check!), but I’ve sifted through and found some wearable shades.

“Coquette” was just released and definitely falls into the “every day” category. Described as “pale, blushed nude,” it really is a pinky-toned nude with great opacity and a creamy texture, like all Lime Crime lipsticks. It’s blown up in the blogosphere and is being compared to cult classics nudes, so I knew I had to try it out for myself!

How To Use It:
Because of the intensity  of Lime Crime lipsticks, I recommend busting out a lip brush. This way, you can create the perfect shape and layer on for more or less opacity. One swipe of Coquette is pretty intense, but if you’re really looking to blank out your lips, you could go up to 3. Topping this off with a clear gloss makes it even more wearable and perfect for a sunny day at the beach! Read More »

To be honest, I don’t remember much from reading Charles Dickens’ book Great Expectations when I was in seventh grade, but I do remember being extremely scared. Seriously, that book gave me nightmares.  Was there a cemetery in the plot? Did someone abduct somebody? Did it even have anything to do with having ‘expectations?’ Or was that just a clever title twist in a book full of freaky shiz?  (Sidenote: Wow, I didn’t learn anything in seventh grade. How did I even get to college in the first place? Whatever, I’m going somewhere with this, I swear.)

Regardless of my lack of 7th grade education, this book landed softly in my mind recently and I got to thinking about expectations. In my life, I have an expectation timeline that goes a little something like this: With any given situation, my expectations are minimal during the beginning.  Once the situation hits halfway, my expectations usually skyrocket.  Take a relationship for example.  When I start talking to a guy I’m interested in I don’t expect a lot; I have fun, play carefree, play coy.  But once he starts to impress me and things progress, my expectations hit levels people could be offended by.  Suddenly, I’m waiting on him to kiss my feet and feed me mini chocolate chips and peanut butter with a baby spoon (What? Only my fantasy?) And the same story is true for all aspects of my life.

Except, since graduating college, my personal expectations have turned backwards. That’s right – as a post-grad, I expect too much out of every beginning.  I squeeze the shiz out of the orange before I can have a taste.  It’s awful.  I used to gain expectations through experience and now I have a ton of expectations before the experience.  Result:  I’m always disappointed.

It's kind of like "Leave it to Beaver"

Is there a Kardashian movie on the horizon? Well, maybe not yet, but there was some major buzz at the Red Book magazine family issue event last night. And, really, I wouldn’t put it past Kris Jenner and Ryan Seacrest to make this happen.

But let’s just slow it down for a second…

A movie about the Kardashian family. How would that even work? Would it be a reality….movie? Have we gotten to that point in entertainment? I shudder at the thought. (Or that’s what I’ll tell people. You know I’ll be the first in line with my extra-large popcorn to watch a 90-minute episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. At least with my student discount.)

But maybe it won’t be that. Maybe it will be an actual movie. Maybe the family that got famous for wearing a ton of makeup and having names that all start with the same letter would take a stab at actual acting.

If that’s the case, I think it could go one of 3 ways. Read More »

[Welcome to Celebrity Chic on the Cheap, where our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities (like super sexy Cameron Diaz) are spending $5,000 and more on an ensemble, you an spend way less...and save the rest for Margarita Mondays.]

Emma Roberts starred in a lot of my favorite C/D-list projects back in the day (like Unfabulous and Aquamarine – don’t judge me) but this Friday, we’re all going to be able to see her in the highly anticipated fourth installment of the Scream series. I am beyond stoked to see if her horror movie acting chops are equally as awesome as her comedic timing.

In the meantime, I’ve been drooling over her thoroughly fabulous clothes. She has a sleek, edgy, feminine style that she rocks with amazing confidence (or #swag, as Justin Bieber would so eloquently articulate it). Emma combines a variety of interesting pieces to create fun and unpredictable looks that are perfect for any fashion-forward college girl to emulate. Read More »
