Classy, simple, minimalist ladies, beware! In this season of jewelry, the bigger the better!

While we used to make fun of Mr. T for his over-sized, overwhelming gold chain, we need to face facts and accept that big, gaudy, over-the-top jewelry is here to stay. (But not for long because every so often fashion trends recycle themselves, duh.)

Long ago, we as females reserved our ring fingers for the biggest rock of our lives: our engagement ring.  Since we’ve upped the ante on the jewelry field, the big, statement rock we once saved for a special day is now made in every – and I mean every ­– shape and size for all 10 fingers.

Like peacocks? Buy a peacock ring. Like bunnies? Buy a rhinestone embellished bunny ring and wear it on your pinky.

Because all of our style trends this season are in fast-forward, take a look at some of the most fashion forward statement rings! Read More »

Recently Ben & Jerry’s released an ice cream flavor called “Schweddy Balls”, based off a Saturday Night Live sketch. I thought it was hilarious. Parents thought it was awful. A parent group is protesting the flavor because they think it’s vulgar. Well guess what, parent group? If you are going to prevent your kid from eating ice cream because it has a vulgar name, then your kid is totally going to go wild when they go off to college.

So here are some ice cream flavors for wild college students.

1. Walk of Shame Surprise

This flavor would be packaged in a sparkly black carton, much like the dress you walked home in this morning. The ice cream would be made with stale beer and shame. Tons of shame.

2. Exam Cram

You spent this whole week partying when you should have been studying for your chem exam. Good thing Exam Cram is made with Red Bull, 5-Hour Energy and NoDoz pills. Read More »

Sarah Michelle Gellar believes she has Body Dysmorphic Disorder

Gwyneth Paltrow is one of those celebs you have to take with a pinch of salt…and a dash of jealousy. She has the talented husband, the gorgeous kids and the rockin’ body. But at least she doesn’t pretend she got her hot bod from a diet of burgers and fries, like most celebrities. She doesn’t give those utterly crap statements about a “fast metabolism” and never moans “Oh, I hate the gym” and “I love pizza!” Girl works hard for her body, so props to her for wearing an ab-bearing dress for the Emmy’s. Admittedly, it’s hideous. But she has got abs to die for. Or at least to give up wheat and dairy for.

I could see the idea behind this dress, it’s a “Look at me! Look at my body bred of a macrobiotic diet!” dress. It was meant to make a statement, to turn heads. And let’s be honest, it does that. It’s daring, it’s sexy and it’s a little bit Genie in a Bottle. But it’s nice to see Gywnnie making such a bold choice.

For me, it’s a no. I love me some sheer paneling and some embellishment, but I think cut-outs would have been more subtle and sexy than a full-on ab-display. And the embellishment is a little bit OTT. But her hair and makeup is the opposite. I would have liked to have seen something a little more “done” regarding makeup. Her hair is fabulously sleek and shiny though, undoubtedly a result of her perfectly cleansed insides.

She paired the dress with Neil Lane jewellery and Roger Vivier Spider sandals.

But what’s your opinion? Hot, or just hot bod?

It’s always a treat to find some hidden treasure in the back of your mom’s closet. What’s (arguably) better is finding old photos that make you stop and ask, “you seriously wore that?!” Believe it or not, your daughter will one day be asking you the same thing. Here’s what I think she’ll be pointing to…

I think we can all agree that the early social networking sites were total and complete fails. Myspace, Friendster, Meebo — all those ugly, tacky sites got us through the early 2000s. But when Facebook was born in 2004, it was truly a revolution for social networking. Real names, professional-looking profiles, this site really had it going on… until Zuckerberg decided to start implementing the crazy changes that the site is now for infamous for making…like the big ones that premiered this week.

So in honor of the fact that we’re back on campus and spending 90% of our time on Facebook tracking down that cute guy from Chem, we decided to take a look back at the way things used to be.

THEN: A “.edu” college email address was required for registration.
NOW: Anyone (and I mean ANYONE) with any email address can sign-up. Read More »

When ‘DWTS’ first hit the nighttime scene it left the public puzzled. Where, we were wondering, are all the stars? 13 seasons later and we are still asking ourselves the same question.

George Clooney’s ex-girlfriend? Who cares if she’s in the spotlight now that she’s out of America’s leading man’s arms?

Rob Kardashian? Is he that annoying kid that’s always bumming off Khloe on KUWTK?

Since nighttime television spoiled us with not-so A-list stars, here’s who I would have loved to see on this season’s lineup: Read More »

Listen up. There is one thing I need to get off my chest this morning, and no, it’s not the betrayal I feel after being brutally attacked by my hairdryer. Whoever said that sharing is caring lied. Au contraire, kindergarten teacher, sharing is NOT caring and it is NOT fun.

I will, however, make an exception for my best friend’s new dress though, because that is oh-so fun to share.

Anyway, getting back on track here…there are things in this girl power filled world that we should just not share. In fact, we should keep these things tighter than tight to our bosom and never, ever share them. Not with your best friend, not with your mom, not with your sister, not with your third cousin, not with Cuddly, the teddy bear your dad won for you 13 years ago at the state fair.

No, no, no. But if you’re raising a fine eyebrow at me, let me explain. If you’re wondering what to share and what not to share, use the list below as your guide. The ladies here at CollegeCandy drove through a list of seven no-nos when it comes to sharing:

1. Your Underwear

Okay, I have to admit, I broke this rule. BUT LET ME EXPLAIN! It was in high school and my best friend needed a new pair of underwear AND I SWEAR THEY WERE CLEAN! I swear. But never, never, ever will I make an exception this rule, and neither should you. If your best friend wants to switch undies with you…say no. Sharing undies does not make you besties and it does not make you wild. To be honest, the only thing in does make you is next in line to share STDs. Ew. Read More »
