Every girl needs a good purse (or 12). Whether you’re going for groceries or running from class to class, they are simply essential for holding all your, uh, essentials. Each week, I’m going to show you a fashionable, yet functional purse for the college crowd and let you know why you absolutely need it! I apologize ahead of time to your bank account.

I love summertime. And you know why? Because I can be outside! Northern Ontario winters are not fun (unless you consider -20F on a good day fun), so we like to celebrate the few months of gorgeousness we get and be outdoors. That means beach parties, outdoor patios and all the BBQ I can handle. I took a look at my measly clutch collection the other day (I’m such an ashamed handblog blogger) and realized that everything I owned was more suited to winter. Basic black and brown leather, but nothing fun or “warm”.

The Cleobella Mexicana Clutch is going to suit my summer needs perfectly. Made in a rainbow of bold leathers, featuring beautiful cutout and lacing details, it’s completely ethnic and screams HOT. Each and every Cleobella product is handmade in Bali (just like the gadogado dress!), including all the intricate characteristics on this 10 L x 5 H beauty.

But, besides looking great, this clutch is super organized and functional. Inside you’ll find dedicated slots for bills AND cards, as well as a space just for your ID! Two zipper pockets, both the entire length and width of the clutch while closed keep your lipstick and cell phone safe. The clutch secures with a magnetic closure and even has a tiny strap you can carry it with, if you choose. Leather is great for summer and winter, so this clutch could really prove to be season-less. The deeper leathers will wear especially well through the colder months!

And, bonus, it’s celeb-approved chic! Homegirl Emmy Rossum was spotted with this very clutch in a gorgeous green leather. She looks super cute, as always, and shows us how to dress this clutch up for a nice dinner or cocktail party.

If the Cleobella Mexicana Clutch has tickled your fancy (as it should have!), head over to the brand’s website and purchase it for $160. Enjoy!

The temperatures are dropping, scarves are being worn for warmth (not style), and your late summer glow has been replaced by rosy cheeks and a runny nose. The freezing weather makes it ever so difficult to unwrap yourself from the tight embrace of your down comforter and do anything remotely productive. Luckily, with winter break just around the corner, you can avoid the harsh realities of class, work, and responsibilities for a few weeks.

Break is exactly that.. a break. With all the required reading you’re given during the semester, it can feel like ages since you sat down with a book…for fun. So, we’ve compiled a list of 8 must-read classic English, classic American, and popular contemporary novels that should be enjoyed over break.

And, in light of the recent casting of Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan in Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby, we’ve picked a celeb for each novel that would be perfect as the hero or heroine. So check out our list, choose your favorite, snuggle up with a mug of hot chocolate, and escape from the world (and the cold) for a few hours by creating your own mental movie with the help of these texts.

[Every week our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities are spending $5,000 on an ensemble, you don’t have to.

All you have to do is click on the goods and - boom - you can buy the entire ensemble. Yes, we know; there is a spot for her in heaven.]

Yellow, if you remember correctly, I said was THE color to have this season (along with purples, grey, prints, bright colors and leather jackets). But in any case, these yellow dresses are a great piece to take you to class (with flat boots, a leather jacket and a large tote) or to the bar (pumps, clutch, great black belt).

Not to mention, it stands out a lot more than the black tops and dresses that every other girl on campus is wearing. And besides – there is just something so happy about yellow that you almost forget that it’s 30 degrees, you are walking in snow and you can’t feel your fingers. Just look down at your yellow dress and remember: the fabulous color of your dress is also the color of beer and that, my friends, will keep you warmer and happier than anything else.

If I had to choose what I love most about this season’s fashions (and choosing one is no easy feat) it’s that purple is THE color to wear. From shoes to bags to dresses and jackets – shades of purple are popping up EVERYWHERE.

You can’t go wrong: neon, plum, eggplant. Deep shades of purple are h.o.t.

“But I will look more like a vegetable and less like a cute trendy person,” you say aloud as you hold up an amazing purple frock. To which I say: NOT SO! Add some black patent accessories, or a fun accent color and you are good to go!

Here are three chicks rockin the neon purple ensemble, but, as usual, the prices of these fabu garments are well out of our reach.

That’s where I come in! Your fashion researcher. Your best friend, the coolest person you “know” to bring you celebrity chic on the cheap: Purple Paradise. Read More »
