School is out, and it’s finally time to embrace summer. That means warm weather, dresses, shorts, flip-flops and all of this season’s hottest trends. Although the neon craze has been around for awhile, I think I’ll finally give it a try this summer. It can be done in so many ways, so it’s easy for everyone to experiment with. Whether you’re bold with a head to toe look or just want to try out a splash with accessories or neon nails, there is something for everyone.
It seems like ever since J. Biebs turned 18, he’s been trying to make himself seem a bit more edgy. Case in point: he was recently spotted wearing a t-shirt that said “never sleep, always party.” Hmm. I never got the impression that Biebs was a big partier. I always thought he was more of a mama’s boy. But maybe now that he’s a legal adult, he’s going to start pushing the envelope a bit more.
Bonus points: the t-shirt came from a clothing company started by CC Editor-in-Chief Jenny’s roommate! So we support Bieber’s choice. Check the t-shirts out here.
I have a shopping problem. It’s such a stereotypical girly thing, but I can’t help myself. I love to shop. The only problem with that is the fact that I have a very limited budget. I go through phases where I get really sick of the clothes I have, and I start thinking about all of the new pieces I’d like to buy. But I can’t afford to run out and buy new clothes, shoes, and accessories every time I want to. So I’ve been looking for new ways to revamp my wardrobe.
Luckily for me, College Fashion has the perfect post this week. They’ve put together a few easy DIY ways to recreate old items in your wardrobe. Check it out here.

Midterms. Sigh. I’m tired of studying. At this point, when I comes time for me to sit down and do school work, I’m looking for any excuse I can find to blow it off. And what better excuse than some fun, cute DIY projects? I just stumbled upon the blog I Spy DIY, and they’ve got some great stuff. Check out this gallery for just a few of their best projects.

I hate to go all crazy department store on you (It’s January 28th? Time to set up a Memorial Day swimsuit display!) but the fashion industry is always 6 months ahead of us normal folk. The elite designers of the trade have challenged us with innovative, advanced looks that put oh-so 2011 trends, like flare legged jeans and feathers, to shame. What? You can’t afford Roberto Cavalli? No worries fellow broke college students; I’ve recreated the looks with budget friendly brands. Prepare to rock 2012 with these inventive spring trends:
During winter break, I had the chance to talk to my best friend, who is more like my long-lost twin. In high school we used to spend hours in the morning with hair, makeup, and putting together outfits. While this made me late 60% of the time (and her 100% of the time), we loved it. Now that we are at different colleges and not making each other late in the morning, she asked me, “Do you still get dressed up for class now?”
Uhhh, duh? I mean if I could do it at 6 am, why can’t I do it now when I wake up at 8 am or later? She confessed to me that she has given up on looking stylish for class. How dare she?!?!
Okay, I get it. I have had a few ‘bum’ days too. And she is in a sorority, so at night she has to be dressed to the nines to attend a social or a party, so she gets some slack during the day. However, don’t for a second think she looks like a homeless person going to class. Smart girls can use ten minutes to look great before they have to be anywhere.

I know I’m not alone when I say that I spend way too long trying to decide what to wear in the mornings. Well, thanks to an awesome site called Closet Couture, getting dressed in the morning just got a whole lot easier.
Instead of standing in front of your closet for trying to decide on an outfit, let Closet Couture help you out! Closet Couture lets you build a virtual closet from items on the web or from items you already have in your actual physical closet (just upload the picture to the site)!
Once you’ve created your virtual closet, you can create outfits and post them to the site. Not only is this a great way to store outfits you like to reference on days that you’re feeling uninspired, you can also get feedback from other Closet Couture users and get ideas from outfits they post!

Rules are meant to be broken.
Not always the best philosophy to live by, but it is a pretty good philosophy for fashion. Think about it. The best dressed ladies these days don’t exactly play by the rules do they ? They wear what they want when they want, because they like the way it looks, whether that be a body suit or a blazer.
And while we can’t all be as adventurous as Lady Gaga during our days on campus, we can still break a few fashion rules without looking like fashion victims.
What do you think ladies? Do you follow the fashion rules or do think think they were made to be broken? Are there some fashion rules we should always follow? Let us know!
Even though being a post-grad hasn’t been an easy ride (biggest understatement of the year), I have plenty of things to be thankful for this Thanksgiving season. So in honor of the holiday and my new “the bowl of stuffing is half full” mentality, here is a list of post-grad things worth celebrating this time of year:
1. Graduation gifts – Luckily when you graduate, people give you gifts and money and things that you need. Even though these gifts are like “Hey, you’re out of college now and you’re kinda on your own so here is some luggage,” they make transitioning very happy.
2. I’m cafeteria free – Albeit eating in a dining hall and having a meal plan is convenient, not having to eat food made for 800 people is a dream. Do you know how amazing it is to eat food that is warm and flavorful? Maybe my alma mater wasn’t too fabulous in the food department (minus the Swedish meatballs … I lived for those), so I’m alone on this one, but I’ll take making myself food any day over dining hall slop.
3. I can wear my underwear whenever I want – Seriously, every time I would just want to veg out in my dorm room and just comfortably enjoy being in my underwear (with a bag of chips), someone would knock. (Editor’s Note: Thank god they didn’t just walk in. Awkward!) And you know, then you have to get up, put on pants, and open the door. Not now. I can wear my underwear all day and no one bothers me. Hooray!
4. No drama – Getting away from college has been a blessing. No gossip. No drama. Just memories and keeping-in-touch with those I want to (and staying far, far away from those I don’t). I don’t have to deal with classroom politics, and I don’t have to deal with drunken sorority girls elbowing me on dance floors. It’s great being able to step back from the stuff that made me go “Ughh, I’m so over it.”
5. I have a degree– Even though it may not be enough to find the kind of job I want, I’m glad I have my Bachelors and I’m glad I worked my ass off to get it. College went fast, but the knowledge and the subjects that interest me will last a lifetime. No complaints there! Read More »
