6 Ways to Tie a Scarf [Infographic]

For the past few seasons, we’ve all been hearing about how great scarves are. They dress up a plain tee! They help incorporate bold colors! They make your neck sweat in the middle of July, but at least you look trendy! Yay!

It’s true, scarves can illicit feelings of both love and hate. But mostly love. Since it doesn’t look like they’re leaving our wardrobes any time soon, it’s about time someone gave us a few more options on how to wear our fabulous scarves. The classic “I’m just going to wrap this around my neck as many times as I can until it feels like a boa constrictor is strangling me” method doesn’t have to be the only way! Take a look below and figure out which style you’ll be rocking this winter… Read More »


NYE In Vegas: Pay Way Too Much Money To Party Near Celebs

If you think your NYE outfit, alcohol supply and approximate cab fare combine to cost a pretty penny, just be glad you aren’t greeting 2012 from a nightclub in Vegas. It might sound fun at first: there’s a ton of options, the venues are gorgeous, and you can simply walk back to your hotel room whenever you’re ready to change outfits in time for breakfast, right?

Here’s Why You Shouldn’t See Girl With the Dragon Tattoo With Your Family

While in the literature mood right after finishing “The Hunger Games,” I convinced my family to see “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” on our LA vacation. I figured we might as well see it while there is still buzz around it since I can’t read the 600-page novel in time to see it in theaters. So on we went. And boy, do I regret having my mom, dad, older sister and YOUNGER brother watch this movie next to me, let alone within 1000 miles of me. Here are the reasons NOT to see this movie with your family. All in all, Lisbeth and the film will crush your dreams and destroy your social life. Moral of the story? See this with friends, NOT family.

What I Mean When I Say “You Look Fat in That”

Having girlfriends is hard. And I don’t mean girlfriends like the kind you date. Although maybe for some of you, your girl friend is also your girlfriend. Regardless, I’m talking besties, buddies, your girls, your mamacitas, your ‘fabulous five,’ whatever you want to call it.

It’s hard because we want to shop all the time and, inevitably, we’re going to try something on that doesn’t fit us right, or makes our butt look too flat, our torso look too long or our legs too big.

So what happens when you don’t look good in the shirt you’ve been dying to try on or the jeans I know you’ve been killing myself trying to squeeze into? Haven’t you ever wondered what I mean when I cringe and tell you ‘uh, that top makes you look fat?’

Even if you might not wonder, I know plenty of girls that do, so we went and figured out how to talk to girls! (Or we should say that Buzznet figured it out. Good for them, right?)


10 Online-Only Stores You Should Be Shopping At Now

Sometimes it seems like the internet was invented for shopping. Nowadays some stores have gotten so in to the online, that they are there exclusively. That’s right, you can’t buy it in stores because they don’t have one!

It’s pretty revolutionary if you ask me, considering someday we will do everything on the internet…and have robots…and flying cars — I digress.

Browse these 10 online-only stores and find some great looks!

WTF! I Wanted an iPhone [Video]

Are you still feeling sorry for yourself because you didn’t get everything you wanted for Christmas? Probably, right? I mean, you specifically asked for a new iPad and your parents were all like “we just got you an iPad last year, we’re not getting you a new one!”

Cheesy Stock Photos of Toasting

When I did a Google Image search for toasting, I thought I was going to see some wild New Year’s Eve pictures of people partying hard. Instead, most of the results were cheesy stock photos 0f people toasting with big, fake smiles on their faces. Do you want a stock photo of a working woman toasting her boss or of some drunk girls toasting at a bar? Well we have both, and a lot more silly stock photos of toasts. Read More »


Sexy Time: My New Year’s Resolutions

It’s that time of year where we all take stock of our lives, realize we’re hot messes and resolve to change our behavior…for about two weeks. Because while eating healthier, working out more and generally being a more mature person are worthy aspirations that we should all work towards, we would be remiss if we failed to acknowledge that our sex lives could always use a little work. Whether you’re having sex daily, every six months or not at all, with a long-term partner, a FWB, or a one night stand, there is always room to grow and have better experiences.  I mean, if the apocalypse or whatever really is next December, I need to go out knowing that I had the sexiest year to date, so next year, I want to do the following…

1. Stop feeling guilty about my preferences.
Sometimes I’m not in the mood. Sometimes I don’t want to be on top. Sometimes I just want to lay there and enjoy it. Sometimes I want Rihanna playing in the background. It’s totally okay for me to be selfish sometimes, because while, yes, pleasing my partner is important, so is taking my own pleasure into account. This is definitely a balancing act I don’t have down yet. Read More »


Ask a Roommate: Can I Borrow That?

Living with a roommate is usually a lot of fun. Living with a roommate who has a dream wardrobe is…well…a dream. Cute going out tops, designer skinny jeans, sparkly long necklaces — it’s all enough to make a girl feel like she lives in Forever 21. But unlike a fabulous store, you can’t just try on your roommate’s clothes, drop what doesn’t fit on the floor and walk away with the rest.

If you’re roommate openly tells you to borrow whatever you’d like, that’s one thing. But it’s a rare occasion when that happens. Usually there are some pieces that are off limits — her grandmother’s pearl earrings, her favorite Marc Jacobs clutch — and some rules to go along with it all. Case in point, don’t even think about what happens when you spill beer down the front of her silk cami.

So, in order to avoid arguments and awkward moments, see how Marysa suggests you ask your roommate if you can borrow the item of your desire! Read More »
