Calm Down. It’s just the iPhone 5
Rumor has it that the iPhone 5 will be announced in a few days. What? I feel like the original iPhone was announced like a month ago. People are going CRAZY for the new iPhone, like crazier than people during the hype of Beanie Babies. I don’t really understand why, because how different can it be from the iPhone 4, which came out two minutes ago, or the iPhone 6, which will probably be out by the time you’re done reading this?

Rain Boots: The Very Cute and the Very Ugly
Rain Boots are a seasonal must-have. Worn the right way you can work them like a pair of pumps. But with the good come the bad, and the WTF. When sporting these weather-resistant boots keep in mind that just because they look cute off doesn’t mean they’ll look cute (or even be functional) when you put them on.

Facebook Timeline: Stalker’s Paradise
Unless you live in an internet-less cave, or are one of those “I don’t have a Facebook” weirdos, then you have to already know that Facebook is going to change A LOT in the next few weeks. The new Facebook Timeline profile is a stalkers dream. The Timeline highlights events in your life (because we all want to re-live that bad break-up), and Facebook is teaming up with other websites, like Hulu, so you can watch shows with your friends over Facebook.

Guys, This Is Why We’re Not Dating You
Let me introduce you to the sheer brilliance of BootyDrop.com, founded “to develop a culture where users can have fun with the site, while still respecting people in the stories and other Booty Droppers.” I’m sorry, but you can’t seriously expect users on this site to respect each other or those in the stories when the whole purpose is to basically degrade and embarrass said people in said stories.
Rent The Runway Look of the Week: College Homecoming
What better excuse to rent a pretty dress than Homecoming? The weather is still nice, the school spirit is bustling and, of course, the sexy alums are back in town for a nice long weekend of shenanigans. Let’s impress the hottie you never had time to get with, shall we?
Versatile Style: Brooklyn Designs Golden Shadow Earrings
With the inclusion of shoes in the column last week, I decided why not take it up a notch and try jewelery? I knew I needed a piece that would stand out, but not so outrageous that I’d ostracize girls who didn’t feel like wearing giant feathers around their neck. As a proud Canadian, I was thrilled to stumble upon Brooklyn Designs, a high-quality line done by fellow Canadian Brooke Mosher, and her Golden Shadow earrings!

10 Actresses Who Should Be Hosting SNL
Alec Baldwin hosted SNL. Again. I’m not complaining because I love me some Jack Donaghy, but really guys? Was Steve Martin busy? (Actually, he wasn’t…he helped Baldwin host his 16th episode during his opening monologue). Also, has Bridesmaids not taught the SNL writers anything? Women are a lot funnier, nicer, smarter, skinnier and overall just plain better than men.
