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?

So cool your jets, people. Let’s not go too crazy for this new phone. Here’s a few ways you probably shouldn’t react when the iPhone 5 is announced.

1. Don’t skip all of your mid-terms to go to New York City and camp out in front of the Apple store. It doesn’t look good to grad schools or potential employers if you say, “Yeah my grades are really bad, but I have a really cool phone.

2. Don’t destroy your iPhone 4. We don’t want to be premature. We don’t even know for sure if Apple is announcing an iPhone 5. If you destroy your old phone, and Apple ends up announcing the iSnuggie, you’ll be pretty upset.

3. Don’t end a 10-year friendship if your BFF gets the new iPhone before you do. You guys probably made a blood oath when you were younger to be friends forever. Blood oaths > iPhone.

4. Don’t buy every new app. It will probably end up costing more than the phone itself, and you’ll be stuck with some really stupid apps taking up tons of your cool, new gigabytes.

5. Don’t wear a black turtleneck during the week of the release. Steve Jobs isn’t even the CEO of Apple anymore, and you’ll look like a weird beat poet.

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.

Check out my best picks for the very cute AND the very ugly.

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. There wont be any need to get together for Girl’s Night and watch Glee, you can just sit at your own apartment and never have to be social again.

If this sounds good, there are ways for you to get the Timeline early. Are you a Facebook developer? Me neither, but you can still pretend to be one to get the new profile. If that sounds too tech-y for you. You can also go here and sign up for a beta notification. This option is way easier, but you won’t get the Timeline immediately. I hope after Timeline is released, Facebook will be done changing for a while. I need time to use the Timeline to see the really awkward high school pictures of all the people I’m jealous of.

#Winning, fellas.

Sure, it’s common for us college students to talk about our hookups, whether it’s the best you’ve ever had or some really embarrassing story. I share things with my girlfriends, and dudes discuss it all the time. Heck, we used to have Morning After posts specifically for that purpose, but those are full stories that aren’t degrading and gross. However, there’s a difference between sharing within your circle of friends and sharing it all over the internet via Texts From Last Night format.

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. When explaining what a Booty Drop is, founders Matthew Weaver and Kevin Lance state, “Let’s be honest. Attending college was never about the education anyway. It’s about hooking up. You tell your friends the next day, but why stop there? Instead tell the world, anonymously.” Are you kidding me?! I’d love to have that conversation with my parents… “Hey Mom and Dad, I know you’ve been spending an ungodly amount of money on my college education, but I hope you know it’s really about me hooking up.” College is definitely about education, and those who don’t think so are probably the ones taking the Van Wilder route and failing their classes.

[We're teaming up with our friends at Rent the Runway to bring you an awesome, new look every week. If you like what you see, you can go right to the site and rent it yourself. Need some outfit inspiration? Leave a comment below and we'll work hard to find an RTR outfit that works for your needs.]

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?

My research tells me the dress code for Homecomings varies from school to school: Some campuses require fancy duds with pearls for the big game while other schools keep it casual, so nothing will get in the way of the drinking. Either way, I think I found the perfect dress on Rent The Runway This Week.

I like this Yumi Kim dress because it is colorful (It’s perfect to rent rather than buy a color like this because it’s so memorable!) and it can easily be dressed up or down depending on your school’s dive. Throw on some sandals and a chunky cardigan for a more casual look, or this Alexis Bittar selby cuff and heels if you need a dressier ensemble.

[When it comes to my wardrobe, I’m all about functionality. I want each of my pieces to work in multiple outfits so I get the most bang for my buck! That being said, I do know how hard it is to come up with new outfits, especially when you’re juggling school, your friends, your significant other and the entire world on your shoulders. So let me ease your load a bit. Every week, I’m going to pick a new item and show you how versatile it can really be, taking you from a day on the quad to a night on the town. Let the shopping begin!]

As readers of this column know, I’m always trying to expand my fashion horizons and try something new. 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!

These babies are made from hammered 14kt gold-filled hoops and feature gorgeous Swarovski crystal briolettes. If you’ve never seen a Swarovski crystal in real life, expect a whole lot of beautiful sparkle. Measuring 2.5 inches in length, the Golden Shadow earrings will definitely be seen, but aren’t going to weigh you down. In fact, I can’t even feel them when I wear them!

Ever since receiving these in the mail, I’ve found myself wearing them constantly. It doesn’t matter if I’m sporting jeans and a tee for class or a fancy dress for drinks with my ladies – the Golden Shadow hoops totally fit the bill. They really are the epitome of versatile jewelery.

Since last week I had a suggestion to show a more formal evening outfit, I decided to do one up for a wedding! Read More »
