  • Summer in the City: It’s Ladies’ Night

    Summer in the City: It’s Ladies’ Night

    I was surprised to find out that a good number or bars and restaurants in the city still have ladies’ night drink specials. Sure, the feminist in me felt a little offended but the college girl on a budget (and unpaid internship) couldn’t help but be ecstatic. Ladies’ night isn’t exactly the best place to meet guys seeing as how there really aren’t many around so embrace it and grab your best girls to gossip or vent about work, your boyfriends, your mothers

    CollegeCandy Goes to the Change-Up Junket

    When I sat down in the theater for the press screening of “ The Change-Up” I wasn’t expecting anything out of the ordinary. As far as I could tell the movie was going to be a nice excuse for everyone to drool and sigh over Ryan Reynolds for little over an hour, but within the first few minutes of the film and after a flash of projectile baby excrement thwarted at Jason Bateman’s face, I knew that this flick was more than just Freaky Friday with an R-rating. This film was a game changer.

    Hot or Hot Mess: Blake Lively at Green Lantern Premiere in Chanel

    I would never know, but I always imagine it’s quite a challenge to look less than perfect in Chanel. However, looking less than perfect in Chanel is better than no Chanel at all. Well, usually. When I look at this Chanel dress, worn by Blake Lively at the Green Lantern Premiere, I just…don’t get it.

  • Happy Birthday, Barack Obama!

    Happy Birthday, Barack Obama!

    Obama has endured a ton of criticism in his presidency. While I proudly voted for him in 2008, I will freely admit that I feel he’s dropped the ball on important issues. That said, today is his birthday, and I’d like to take a moment to point out some of the great things he has done in the last 2.5 years.

  • Welcome to the Real World: The Office is Your Family

    Welcome to the Real World: The Office is Your Family

    Living on your own in the real world (“real world”), you won’t find pledge classes or study groups. Your roommate will be someone you found on Craigslist. Your hallmates will be invisible, except for the 87 year-old woman who owns six cats and listens to Wheel of Fortune on blast. At 5 am. Family, of the non-blood variety, is hard to come by.

  • Ashton Kutcher Joins 2 and a Half Men… but Why?

    Ashton Kutcher Joins 2 and a Half Men… but Why?

    Now that the whole Charlie Sheen “winning” era has slowed down a bit (seriously, where is he? Haven’t heard from him in months), CBS has finally decided to spill a few more details as to Sheen’s 2 and a Half Men replacement: Ashton Kutcher. Aside from now knowing that Mr. Demi Moore will be playing Walden Schmidt (“an internet billionaire with a broken heart”), no further details have been revealed which leaves the fans lots to speculate about.

    Behind the Scenes with Celebs’ Nannies

    It seems like we’re constantly ooh-ing and ahh-ing over those cute celebri-kids hanging out with their famous ‘rents. But then we notice the giant designer purses, skinny jeans and 4 inch heels some of these moms are wearing. Or the general look of disinterest on these dads’ faces. Are these people really looking after their kids, or are they just in it for the family photo op?

    The Do’s and Don’ts of Going Braless

    When it’s hot and sticky out, no one wants to wear more than the bare minimum when it comes to clothing and it seems as though the free-flowing braless trend is on the rise this summer. Want to ditch the tight, pinching, underwire contraption that’s ruled your life ever since puberty and let the girls breathe for a day? Just be sure to stick to these tips and you should be just fine.

    Baggin’ Out: H&M Satchel

    Even though I live about 6 hours away from the nearest location, I always try to hit up H&M for a big back to school splurge before September. Even though I only own one purse from them (shocking!) I took a careful look through their accessory section and came up with this little gem!

  • Sexy Time: Sugar Isn’t Always Sweet

    Sexy Time: Sugar Isn’t Always Sweet

    There was an interesting article posted on the HuffPo detaling SeekingArrangements.com, a website pairing “sugar daddies” with “sugar babies.” The sugar babies are overwhelmingly college aged women and recent graduates saddled with a variety of financial obligations, and the sugar daddies are your typical wealthy older men who have a fixation with women young enough to be their granddaughters.
