The Perfect Thanksgiving Outfit

The last thing anyone wants to think about when they’re going to eat unimaginable amounts of food is what to wear when doing so. However, Thanksgiving fashion is important. You need something stretchy, something that will work with your ever expanding stomach. And you don’t want to pop any buttons, that would be really embarrassing. Some families dress up, some don’t. We don’t dress up in my family, but I still like to look semi-cute.

But how can you look cute when you’re gorging yourself with sweet potato casserole? Don’t you fret, we’ve got the perfect Thanksgiving outfit for you.

Which Commercial Makes You Want to Jump Out of a Window Faster?

If you’ve had the misfortune to hear the K-Mart Christmas commercial at all this past week, I’m sorry. On behalf of the human race, I’m very, very sorry. It’s not only annoying, but it’s catchy…which only makes it MORE annoying. (Buzzfeed agrees with me.)

But just when I was about to vote it the worst commercial ever create, Kohl’s debuted their Black Friday commercial — set to Rebecca Black’s Friday.

Yes, time are bleak in commercial world.

So I ask you to tell us: which commercial makes you want to jump out of a window faster?

17 Reasons Why Suri Cruise is Better Than You

Remember being envious of the cool girl in school who wore the latest trends and had the coolest parents? Suri Cruise is that girl, and she’s only five years old. While you’re shopping at Forever 21 trying to find a dress to wear to your friend’s party, Suri has already picked out her clothes for the next month (and they cost way more than everything at all Forever 21 stores combined).

Here are 17 reasons why Suri Cruise (a five year old!) is way better than you… Read More »


All the Fixins: 15 Easy Thanksgiving Recipes

I’m already mentally preparing my body for Thanksgiving. It’s an all day eat-athon and I do not want to be cramping up on the 26th mile.

The more pressing issue I’m asking myself is how I’m going to wake up on Thanksgiving morning, nurse my Black Wednesday hangover and make tons of food to eat later that will hopefully soak up all the residual alcohol. Whose idea was it to take tequila shots again?

Since I’m partly in-charge of co-cooking the kitchen, I realized just how important it is to find a few recipes that don’t have more than a dozen steps so that I can spend more time laying in front of the TV than standing in front of the oven.

For those of us that will be spending most of our Thanksgiving morning hugging the toilet bowl, I have a treat for you. I racked the Internet for simple, course-by-course recipes that you can prepare in between running back and forth to the bathroom anytime someone says the word “gin.” Read More »

Why Everyone Loves Taylor Swift

Last night at the American Music Awards, Taylor Swift cleaned up shop taking home the awards for Favorite Female Country Artist, Favorite Country Album and Artist of the Year. And in typical T-Swift fashion, she was shocked. Honestly, I’m shocked…that Adele didn’t win out. But I’m not totally surprised that Taylor won. Everyone loves her. It got us thinking about why. Obviously homegirl can write songs that tug at your heartstrings, and she’s a great entertainer. But she’s not 13 anymore.

She’s 21, resonating with teens and girls in college. I’m 21, and my friends and I (and a majority of college women) are definitely guilty of belting out some Swifty songs whether it’s at the bar or in the car. I can rhyme too, maybe I should be a songwriter. Her music continues to top charts, snag awards, and break records. Why? Read More »


RTR Look of the Week: Meet the Parents

Even for the most outgoing, meeting your significant other’s parents can be a really intimidating experience. You never know exactly what to expect: if they’re going to be a bit, well…different, or maybe they’ll be just like your parents (only cooler).  The best thing EVER is when there is a language barrier (seriously, it’s a struggle).

My favorite is the inevitable grilling you always receive, whether it’s intentional or not, it’ll happen. What’s your life plan? Should you tell the parents the real way you two met—at a sloppy fraternity dance party, or explain it was a chance meeting at the library instead? And so on and so forth. So many questions… so so many.

So arm yourself with this appropriate dress (read: stylish but with no cleavage or serious thigh action), pick up some flowers for mom and chocolates for dad and march right on over to the family dinner and charm ‘em. Let’s hope it goes over smoothly, remember: you can’t milk a cat, geniuses pick the color green and being careless about an open flame will not win you any points. Now that that’s covered and you’ve snagged the dress, you’re all set.

Your Heart Will Go On…In 3D! [Video]

The new Titanic 3D trailer was released and, shocker, it’s basically the same as the original one. Does this make us any less excited to haul it to the movies once (or seven times) again to squeal when Jack draws Rose all nakey or shed silent tears for all the poor kids who weren’t special enough to make it into a lifeboat? Of course not!

While the re-release of one of our generation’s most epic movies causes our heart to pitter patter with delight, we can’t help but think this whole 3D business isn’t really suited for a movie like Titanic. I mean, really, think about it… Read More »

I figured it’s been a while since I’ve featured a good ol’ graphic tee on CollegeCandy and wanted to see what’s out their for the holiday season. Yes, since we’re well into November, I consider it the holiday season. Christmas debates aside, I turned to one of my fave brands for quirky, but very cool tees, Wildfox. And they didn’t disappoint!
