American Eagle “Skinny Skinny” Jeans Are Their Skinniest Yet…Because They’re Spray-On
Currently for sale on American Eagle’s website are “Skinny Skinny” jeans — the brand’s skinniest jeans ever created. Sounds cool, right? Well, the catch is that these jeans aren’t jeans.
Wardrobe Wish List: AE Skinny Braided Waist Belt
The quintessential waist belt was not created to hold anything up. It doesn’t fit into loops, it offers no form of support, it’s not durable and it doesn’t save the world from your plumber’s crack. So what does this basic wardrobe staple do for you?

Fashion Porn: Lovely Lace
Every morning when I get off the subway to go to school, I have to walk right past Forever 21. And it’s torture. School been in session for three weeks now, and there has been this super hot navy lace dress (I think it’s a dress, but you never know with that store…) every time I walk by. Seeing as I don’t REALLY need another dress (remember how I bought 3 in the spring?) I’ve been trying really hard not to go in and buy it in all its gorgeous, lacy glory.
Wardrobe Wish List: American Eagle Cropped Military Cardigan
I admit it: I’m a slave to trends. As much as I’d rather be a trendsetter (like Nicole Richie, not Lady Gaga), I’m regretfully a complete lemming. It’s not that I’m not a risk taker, more so that I’ve been completely brainwashed by the fashion industry (like when professors insist you need to read the text to pass) to like what’s available.
Fashion Porn: Fashion Goes S&M
Leather is one of the biggest fabrics for fall 2010. It is also one of the easiest to embrace because EVERYTHING can be made in leather: bags, shoes, leggings, shorts, jackets, skirts…the list goes on. And I love it all. Leather is sexy. It’s edgy. And it makes everything look cool.
Shop Your Closet: Military Jackets
When moving into either a dorm or an off-campus apartment, your wardrobe will face two major challenges: 1. A major lack of funding (to add more to it). 2. A major lack of storage space.
For these two reasons alone, maximizing what you do own becomes essential.
Fashion Porn: Doin’ it in Plaid
Plaid is one of the 10 Modern Pieces Every Girl Should Own and the plaid shirt has become a uniform for both male and female college students. It’s easy to wear with jeans, super comfy, and looks good even when it’s been balled up on your floor and you only have 10 minutes to make it to class.

Around the Web

Fashion Porn: Doin’ It Out West
One of my favorite Spring 2010 fashion shows this year was D&G with their western wear inspired collection. Being from Calgary, Alberta, home to the “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth,” I see a lot of western wear during the 10 days of the Calgary Stampede. And most of it is tacky, ugly and ill fitting.
Fashion Porn: Beach Cover-up Orgy
Whether you choose to wear a bikini or a one-piece, you’re going to need a cover-up for going to the beach, or even just covering up a bit to avoid extreme sun exposure. Lucky for you there are some really cute options this year that will easily transition from the beach to the boardwalk (assuming you dry yourself up enough to avoid those pesky wet marks around your boobs…).
Fashion Porn: Chains and Studs Get it On
A few weeks ago Sarah Jessica Parker inspired Fashion Porn. This week, it’s inspired by someone completely different. While doing my usual online browsing, I discovered Forever 21′s “Inspired by La Roux” page. I’ve been drooling over pictures of Elly Jackson of La Roux’s style.
Fashion Porn: Summer Skirt Orgy
As the temperature starts to rise, it’s time to bare those legs, soak up a little vitamin D (just make sure to wear sunscreen!), and enjoy the lovely weather. Sure, you could wear shorts, but then you gotta deal with that whole “thighs rub together and shorts ride up” situation. Plus, skirts are way more fun, and a cuter, flirtier way to show off those gams.
Bikinis Are Out, One-Pieces are In!
One-pieces are totally in this summer, which has us happy as a clam since the past few weeks of finals have left no time for the gym and a lot of time for late-night food deliveries. For the first time since middle school we can actually feel sexy and trendy rockin’ something at the pool that isn’t a bikini (and doesn’t give us uni-boob like a Speedo!).

Fashion Porn: Hats & Sunglasses Get it On
There’s one thing that hats and sunglasses have in common that make them super sexy. What is it? The fact they protect you from the sun! Essentials for summer, these are not only functional, but they also add pizazz to your look. Functional and stylish! What’s not to love?
