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.]

So it’s getting to be cold. Which sucks because there is nothing worse than freezing on your walk to class only to start horribly sweating once you get inside. But at the same time, cute boots, hats and comfy cardigans woo me every season.

And even though Ashley Tisdale lives in Hollywood (and is Jewish so never mind her sitting in Santa’s Chair), she’s clearly a fan of the winter look too.

So this week, in the spirit of High School Musical 3 (I know you are probably reading this on your Google phone/iPhone/Blackberry as you’ve been in line since midnight last night), I thought, why not bring you this perfect look which is great for class, for brunch, and, let us not forget, the perfect look to meet Santa in.

Celebrity Chic on The Cheap: High School Musical Moves to the North Pole.

Grey Oversized Cardigan

This is a great staple piece and color because you can wear it all season long – over a vintage tee, over a nice top, over a shirt from the night before on your walk of shame home – it works just the same. And if grey washes you out, Target’s $24.99 version (on the left) comes in plenty of colors.

The Gap version (on the right) is a little more expensive, but also more bang (or material) for your buck. Probably the warmer option for those of us who aren’t singing in hallways with Zac Effron in warm climates.

CHEAP Black Leggings

$5.99 to be exact. And a staple for every wardrobe. Even if you are not rocking this particular look, black leggings are a must-have for everything from working out to warmth to lookin’ like a chic celebrity.

The Knit Cap

These types of hats are everywhere, but the buttons on this one are adorable. Finally, a winter hat that can keep you warm without runing your hair/making you look totally ridiculous.

Layering Red/Orangey T-shirt

I love this option from the Gap: super cute, a great color and totally warm. But feel free to throw any shirt underneath this look.

The High Boot

I LOVE these Steve Madden boots (left). So much so that they just might make this week’s Love List. And although they are $150, they will last you a couple of seasons if you take care of them, and also happen to look great with everything.

But, if you are looking for a more affordable option (I get it, the economy is making the dollar store look pricey) these boots from Target (right) should do the trick.

Creepy Adult Excitement Over High School Musical 3.

All the reviews are positive. Everyone’s raving over it. And grown ass women are holding in depth discussions about Zac Efron’s facial hair (or lack thereof). I understand that the kids who fell in love with HSM 3 years ago have gotten older and that the movie is “growing up” to cater to them, but that’s the point: Disney made it for seniors in high school—not the hosts of the Daily 10, not for my mom (who has already purchased tickets in advance) and not for me (although I do love me some Corbin Bleu).

The bottom line is that this movie is about high school, so high schooler’s should be the ones counting the days until its release. When Disney can find a way to wholesomely portray coed life while incorporating schnazzy dance numbers with synchronized keg stands, I’ll be the first one at the box office.

Yet Another Reason to Hate Flying.

As if there weren’t enough things to worry about when hurtling through the air in a giant chunk of metal with no easy access to (or knowledge of how to operate) a parachute, I now need to prepare for incidents that could occur pre-takeoff. In Chicago, a plane collided with a pickup truck on the runway. I think it’s safe to say that the truck driver is slightly more responsible in this situation. I mean, A) how did you miss the enormous freaking AIRPLANE blocking your path, and b) WHY were you in a pickup truck on the tarmac? This just makes no sense to me, but as bad as a backseat driver (and passenger) as I was before, you better believe I’ll be second guessing a smooth takeoff the next time I board a plane.

The economy f*cking every. single. industry.

So far I’ve come through this recession/crisis/Armageddon unscathed. Luckily, I really haven’t been hurting in any obvious ways (not that I had much money to lose, or many expenses that would take a toll on my poor college lifestyle). But I finally am starting to worry: TV has been affected. I mean, the industry is pretty resilient; they even survived running shows without anyone to write them, but the news has been announced that NBC is trimming the fat--$5 million worth of fat. Jeff Zucker, CEO, is looking for ways to cut staff and other expenses. All I know is that I need me some quality NBC sitcom to lift me out of my monetary funk…and if anything happens to The Office all hell will break loose.

John Mccain’s Apparent State of Delusion.

So, despite the fact that Obama is OWNING Mccain in the race for the white house thus far, Johnnie still thinks that “things are headed [his] way.” Really? What things might you be speaking of? A landslide loss in an historical election? A sad realization that you were simply a filler candidate for the Republican party? A HUGE increase in your taxes once your opponent is elected? Because, yeah, I can see those things headed in your direction. Maybe that SNL skit revolving around your imaginary BFF, Joe the Plumber, is spot on regarding your mental stability…

Haters.

No one likes a hata. Especially when said hata is hatin’ on someone for a ridic reason….which is most of the time. Specifically this week, though, those hatin’ on women for their body type or size is particularly whack. When the tabs aren’t blowing up bikini pics of pregnant women to circle their cellulite, they’re hurling accusations of eating disorders at stars they deem too thin. Seriously? It’s kind of common decency not to criticize real women who are “too fat,” but at what point did it become okay to label anyone under 115 lbs as anorexic? Celebs are living, breathing human beings. Yes, it is part of their job to stay in good shape (and they get paid enough to afford those pricey trainers and nutritionists), but it’s social responsibility to discontinue the degrading and emotionally scarring descriptions that are printed about famous women. Set a positive example for the way that real women are portrayed and talked about.

Whew! Venting makes me feel much better. Now it’s your turn…
