Lately, I’ve been enjoying wearing pants when I go out, as opposed to skirts and dresses. Pants are a fun and unexpected option for a night on the town that also keep you mega comfy! Harem pants made a comeback a few seasons ago and since I’ve never featured them, I figured it was about time!

This pair from Forever 21 features a fun, tribal-inspired print in girly rose pink. As they are harem pants, they’re made from comfy, lightweight rayon and come to capri-length. These are a great option for summer, as they will keep you cool and looking chic and polished. This week, I decided to show you how to wear harem pants for a night out and a day at the office. Forever 21′s prices are so affordable that it doesn’t matter if this piece is super trendy – you’re getting your money worth with only a handful of wears. You can’t expect amazing quality for the prices, but you will have at least a season to wear out your piece. Read More »

As summer internships and jobs wrap up and summer comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to make a quick getaway before school starts. Don’t worry–you don’t need a lot of money to get away and enjoy a little piece of summer if you follow this guide!

Set a Budget!

The first thing you need to do is look at your funds and see how much money you have to spend; a.k.a. “create a budget.”

Choose a Destination!

Once that is in order, you can decide where your destination will be. If you have enough available funds, you might choose to go somewhere further away from home, but if money is an issue, weekend or day trips may be your savoir.

• Got Dough?-Places like Florida, or the Carolinas might tickle your fancy, and probably will be able to accommodate you on short notice, whereas places like the Bahamas may be booked.
• Low on Dough?-Places like Washington, DC, Gettysburg, PA, NYC, or the Jersey beaches make perfect day trips. There is a lot to do in these areas, but not too much that you would be overwhelmed or run out of time to do the things you want. You can visit trazzler.com to find more local getaways near you.

With classes starting up again over the next few weeks for most universities, you’re probably gearing up by grabbing everything you need for back-to-school. Even if you’re not a first year, there’s a lot to buy: notebooks, highlighters and pens, textbooks, dorm essentials and so much more. But the good thing is, not all of it has to cost a lot! In fact, you can get tons of your back-to-school essentials for just $20 or less! Just take a look…

You pry your eyes open as the blaring sound of your alarm clock echoes the throbbing in your head and wonder why your alarm is going off at such an ungodly hour on a Sunday when you suddenly realize, “Sh*t! Brunch with the ‘rents!”

You fling yourself out of bed as quickly as your hungover ass will let you, and as you glance at yourself in the mirror you realize that hangover is written all over your haggard face. You’ve got 10 minutes to pull yourself together and look fabulously fresh so that your folks don’t know the amount of liquor you consumed the night before (and don’t forget that greasy pizza at 2 a.m.). What do you do? Don’t fret – with a few products from Clinique, this feat is a lot easier than it sounds.

I’m personally a fan of Clinique because it’s non-comedogenic (which means it has ingredients that do not clog the pores or lead to breakouts), allergy tested and fragrance free. It’s the first skin care line developed by a dermatologist and has been using the same formulas since it was first released in 1968. I also love that it’s a more budget-friendly prestige line and offers up high-end products at much lower prices than many other upscale lines. Read More »
