If you’re anything like me, you’re looking in your bathroom cabinet right now and realizing that everything in there is old and outdated — and is that a lotion gift set from 7th grade in the back there? Yes, yes it is and it smells like candy canes and puke. It’s time for a major beauty arsenal update and what better way to do it than with a beauty blogger’s advice. CollegeFashion put together a list of the 10 beauty products you need to buy today. Check it out and let us know what’s missing.

Saturday is (finally) here again and you’re alternating between opening your fridge and opening your closet. Fridge looks okay. That orange juice isn’t that old and it will mix okay with that razz vodka you have cooling in the freezer. But your closet, that’s not so okay. You’ve worn everything in there at least 6 times and you’re pretty sure that you’ve been photographed in all them. So what are you going to do? Raid your roommate’s closet? No, her stuff is as stale as yours. Nope, you’re going to take a quick trip to the mall and put together one of these kickass outfits. The best part? CollegeFashion put together outfits that are all under $100. Score.

Judging by my frostbitten fingers and my long underwear (just kidding…kind of…no just kidding), winter is officially here and I’m officially freezing. Oh and officially ugly. Well not ugly. But not attractive. I’m wearing 17 layers a day. When I’m not dealing with hat hair, I’m dealing with salt stained boots leftover from freshman year. I’m in major need of a winter makeover and that’s why I was so excited to see this CollegeFashion article on stylish winter coats under $100. They’re not super practical for freezing weather, but definitely cute for a night out.

The senior year of college is an emotional roller coaster that you can’t get off of until you cross the stage at graduation. (Then you enter another ride called life and I just haven’t been on that ride long enough to give you the appropriate theme park metaphor…my apologies.) As much as you love your friends and your school and your classes, you’re also freaking out about what you want to do after college and if what you want to do is right. And if you’re anything like me, you’re probably suffering from a killer case of the “what-ifs”.

What if I go to grad school?

What if I move to NYC without a job?

What if my boyfriend breaks up with me?

The what-ifs are never-ending and you’ll find them creeping up during class, while you’re at happy hour and  even while you’re hooking up. It’s a nasty sickness that’s hard to cure. Luckily CollegeFashion has a handy dandy guide to figuring it all out. Check it out here!

New Year’s Eve is just around the corner and we all know it’s the one night of the year when you can’t over-glitter and over-sparkle your outfit. In fact, if you haven’t already dipped your heels in glue and glitter, then you’re behind schedule. If you have already done that, you’re ready for the next step: finding the perfect glitter topcoat for the last night of 2011.

Thankfully CollegeFashion is on the ball (as always) and they’ve selected the top 5 glitter topcoats you should use. Check them out right here!

Okay. Maybe we’re jumping the gun here. Clothes plural is a strong statement. But they do sell one really cute shirt and we have to say we’re impressed — with Walmart as well as with CollegeFashion for finding it. Whether, it holds up or not…we can’t really vouch for that. The important thing is that it’s only $14 and it’s hip and trendy and everyone will think you got it at a really fancy store.

Winter is fast approaching, and you know what that means – it’s almost time for holiday parties! With all of the fun events around the corner, it’s time to start shopping for holiday party dresses. CollegeFashion found five holiday party-perfect dresses to fit any style, plus included some tips on how to wear them. Because you know what? Not every college holiday party is an ugly sweater party. Sorry, that’s the truth.

So, what are you waiting for!? SEE THE DRESSES RIGHT HERE!

Getting dressed to go to class is a breeze. Sweats? Check. Hoodie? Check. Uggs? Check. But getting dressed to go to a party is a whole different story. Your full closet never seems to have anything you want to wear! That doesn’t mean you should lose hope, give up and stop going out.

Instead check out CollegeFashion’s latest post on what to wear and bring to a college party, plus three cute fall-appropriate college party outfit ideas. Click here to see your cute campus-approved looks!

Halloween is right around the corner, and if you’re like me, you’ve probably been thinking about what costume you’re going to wear.

If you don’t have any Halloween costume ideas yet, or just want something easy and inexpensive, this list is for you.
