Leopard print made its come back last fall and by the looks of things, it’s not going anywhere. Leopard printed heels, flats, scarves, tops, dresses, pants (Peg Bundy was SO ahead of her time!) are popping up just about everywhere. In your typical shades, in pops of colors, mixed in with other patterns, leopard prints are just an animal you can’t avoid. Pun intended.

The key when shopping for animal prints with your Budget Stylista mindset is avoiding a cheap looking leopard print, which can be hard, lots of them exist. Sometimes it’s hard to determine what is chic and what is downright cheap (and tacky) looking. As a general rule of thumb, I tend to stray away from black and white leopard print (it just doesn’t look right to me) and smaller condensed animal spots.

Not sure about what to wear leopard print with? You don’t need to stick to a white or black base. Leopard print is the new neutral: It goes with nothing, yet everything all at the same time. In fact, I think this print is most fresh when paired with a bright color. Throw a leopard print top on with black jeans and a hot pink bag. Or tie a leopard print belt or scarf over a red dress. Pair the adorable leopard skirt below with a bright pair of blue pumps! Leopard should be fun and playful.

Is sex better in the air?

We’re all about learning and exploring here at College Candy headquarters. That’s why today we set out to see if it was really hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk. And by golly, it was! Well, the egg didn’t so much as fry as it did bake. But it’s too hot to get into cooking semantics. Instead we’d like to invite you to get in on the fun this weekend. Crack open an egg on the sidewalk, put a sign next to it (like the one you see above), tweet it at us (@collegecandy), and use the hashtag #sidewalkegg.

Let’s see how many eggs — nationwide — we can cook!

I get it. It’s hot. It’s so hot that you’re willing to take a dip in your town’s public pool. That’s okay, a little pee in the pool has never hurt anyone. But you know what does hurt people? Sex in the pool.

More specially watching a couple get it on in the pool for THIRTY MINUTES. Like one, stop showing off. Two, really? Three, are you trying to get a massive vaginal inflammation? There’s absolutely no way that woman left the pool with her vagina feeling good about itself.

And before you start simultaneously start puking and crying for all the kids who had to witness this horrendous fornication, know that this couple was 33 and 40. 33 and 40…and the best place they thought they should have sex was a public pool. Quality adult choices. QUALITY.

Excuse me while I go round up some therapists for all the witnesses.

Everyone has either been a part of, party to, possible enabler of, and/or wished they had food poisoning in the presence of, that couple. We’ve all encountered that couple. It’s hard to find the right adjective to adequately ascribe to them. I mean, seriously, whenever you think of them you just think of them as that couple. They just piss/depress/annoy you so much that language actually fails to form in your brain. A lot of couples are guilty of being that couple at one point in their relationship or another. Often it’s during the honeymoon or newlywed periods. Basically, when it all feels like the beginning.

But how do you know if you’re being that couple, or at least that you’re witnessing the aneurysm-provoking spectacle that is that couple?

If you finish each other’s sentences, then you’re that couple.

Fact: There is nothing more intimate than having sex with another person. After all, you’re completely naked and vulnerable, and everything is out in plain sight. So unless you’re that old, beer-bellied guy that is always alone and naked at the nude beach, that level of intimacy is going to make you a little nervous.

And then there’s the whole “performance” aspect (Are you doing it right? Does it feel right? Is that face sexy or creepy?), which gets enhanced ten-fold when oral sex is involved. Oral is pretty uncomfortable for everyone (mentally, hopefully not physically), but can get extremely nerve-wracking for most women. I get it; who wouldn’t be self conscious and wonder what her guy is thinking when he is up close and personal with her most private of areas? But all that thinking can really ruin a marvelous experience, and what’s the point of us putting in all that work if you’re not going to enjoy it?

So you think celebs get out of bed all skinny and perfect and shiny? Well, maybe they do. But because everyone loves to stalk celebs at every single moment in their lives, we also know that they hit up the gym sometimes just to keep up appearances.

For some reason, there seem to be a LOT of pictures of only a few celebs leaving the gym floating around the internet. Where are your super secret workout spots located, everyone else??

Anyway, here are a few of our fav celebs post-workin’ on their fitness.

[This summer a dream internship with Lucky magazine moved me from Austin, Texas, where I’ve spent all 21 years of my life, to New York City for the summer. Come along for the ride and follow me through this column as I take on all that the city has in store for me. I’ll share tips I’ve picked up along the way about everything from how to pack (stop, drop and roll people!) to dating to fitting in (or standing out) and so much more.]

Go To Brooklyn…Because All The Cool Kids Are Doing It

Coming from Austin, where hipster kids love to roam the streets on their bikes, wearing their most vintage pearl-snap button-downs and jorts and listening to the best bands are ones no one has ever heard of, I knew Brooklyn would be a little taste of home. Sure Brooklyn is hipster, but it’s also beautiful, vibrant and perfectly laid-back.

Here’s my perfect Saturday in Brooklyn:

We’ve seen it before–stars get so wrapped up in a movie role, we hardly even recognize them when they’re on set (and sometimes even off set). Christian Bale’s beautiful face wasted away when he starred in The Fighter, Charlize Theron somehow made herself look sub-human for her role in Monster, even 50 Cent jumped on the dedicated actor bandwagon when he dropped all those lbs for Things Fall Apart. And let’s not forget Kristen Stewart loving all over that terrible hair mess she had to have for Runaways.

So who is the latest star to get a little carried away with a character? Check out this pic from The Frisky to find out!
