Ana de la Reguera wore this Gucci dress to the Cowboys and Aliens Premiere on July 23rd. The dress is straight off the catwalk from the Gucci Ready to Wear Fall 2011 collection.

The problem with high fashion is that while it looks stunning on the runways, it’s not always wearable. This dress demonstrates this fact. While it is an absolutely stunning dress, in real life, it kinda looks like half a dress and a big pair of spanx.

Ryan Gosling can be my baby daddy. Swoon.

Despite not wanting kids anytime soon there are certain things that make my uterus explode, like Ryan Gosling feeding a baby. Even when there’s a screaming child next to me on the subway, some pictures make me drown out the sound and yearn for kids of my own. Now that your insurance provider has to cover your birth control, here’s a collection of cute that will make your ovaries ache.

[Life after college is hard. Like really hard. But it's not so hard that you should curl up in a ball and watch E! marathons all day long. Not only are we covering the experience from a first-hand perspective, but we're now covering it from a how-to-survive-it perspective. Every week, we're going to bringing the best advice to getting through your first post-grad year. Because sometimes, your grandmother's "just go to law school" advice just doesn't cut it.]

You’ve recently graduated, congrats! You’ve been living for the past four years in a furnished dorm or a sorority house with all your friends or maybe even an off-campus house you had all to yourself with your best friends in the world! Maybe your parents paid? Maybe your loans paid? Or maybe you were able to pay from your awesome internship the summer leading up? Whatever the case, you had a place to live — even when there were dishes piling so high you had to wash them in the tub or you had so much laundry you thought about buying new underwear before attempting to wash it all – you had it made!

I’m two years out of college (Lehigh ’09) and have lived in four different cities since I graduated, but that’s not all, I’ve moved 12 times since I packed up my geo prism and hugged my college friends goodbye and headed home to upstate NY. I’ve not only lived in upstate NY these past two years, but also in London, Washington, DC and New York City. I’m actually lucky – each time I took one of these journeys it was for an amazing opportunity and job, a move that ultimately landed me in New York City with an awesome gig working in social media at an education start-up!

They’re crying. They’re scared. Something’s happened. They lit their dorm room on fire heating up a glue gun, their father’s had a heart attack, one of their roo mates is going psycho on them 24/7, or someone has passed on and the funeral’s tomorrow. Would you go? What do you do? What can you do? What should you do?

Not everyone’s Joe Cool in a crisis. We don’t always feel equipped to counsel or to intervene. But we feel like we need to do something because this is our friend and he/she is in need.

Why do we help? Because it’s the decent thing to do. Because we hope someone would help us in his/her position. Because that’s what it means to be a friend. Hell, that’s what it means to coexist in a community and make no fu*king mistake that whether it’s college, an office, or just good old Manhattan, you’re part of a community.

The first way you can be of aid is to listen. What a lot of people in crisis need first and foremost is an ear. Being listened to accomplishes a number of productive and helpful things: you give them an outlet to express their concern/pain/worry, you validate their pain, and it’s an opportunity for them to talk through their problem.

[Every girl needs a good purse (or 12). Whether you’re going for groceries or running from class to class, they are simply essential for holding all your, uh, essentials. Each week, I’m going to show you a fashionable, yet functional purse for the college crowd and let you know why you absolutely need it! I apologize ahead of time to your bank account.]

I’m going on 2 weekend trips this month, and have realized how non-functional my purse collection actually is. Most of the better-designed ones are also made of super light leathers or too big to bring for a full day of shopping and sight-seeing. I was on the hunt for a well-made, functional and cute purse that could serve me well in my travels. And I think I found it!

The Fossil Modern Cargo Convertible Tote is truly a travel-friendly gem. Fossil is a staple brand; they make great quality accessories in classic shapes and styles. I knew I could turn to them to find me a perfect, timeless tote. Read More »

“Good girls always end up single because we don’t give it up.”

A tweet similar to this popped up on my Twitter timeline, and my first reaction was merely to roll my eyes and keep scrolling. But hours later, it continued to haunt me. This attitude that you have to be sexually available in order to get a boyfriend isn’t exactly new. I remember in middle school, the girls who always had a steady stream of boyfriends were always surrounded by the rumors that it’s because they gave blow jobs. Even now, I have friends who constantly attract male attention, and other women speculate that it’s because they’re easier to have sex with, and guys can pick up on this.

I understand how this idea comes to fruition. I don’t agree with it (slut shaming, general hatefulness, and completely ignoring the role men play in gender dynamics are three of my least favorite things), but I get it. Our society’s relationship and conceptualization of female sexuality is weird, at best. We expect women to be pretty, sexually desirable, and comfortable with engaging with sexual activity, but not “excessively” so. There’s also a strand of competitiveness that tends to creep into women’s interactions with other women, and so naturally, if we feel like we’re “losing”, we’re going to be inclined to bash our competition, which doesn’t really do anything for us. Because I mean, while we’re sitting here seething and hating on the girls who may or may not be dirty, slutty whores, they’re still out there, meeting and entrancing guys, while the good girls hang out on the sidelines.
