It’s a great year to kick your sweatpants addiction.

One of my greatest pet peeves about college students is the sloppiness often associated with going to class. True, sweatpants are comfortable, you’ll never be able to wear them during the day in the “real world” and it takes less effort than putting together an actual outfit. But sweatpants give off the appearance of not carrying, as you couldn’t even be bothered to do up a zipper and button in the morning. They are also dangerous when it comes to the freshman 15. If you’re constantly wearing things with elastic waistbands, you’re less likely to realize that you’re adding inches to your frame. Now that we have my rant out of the way, I’m going to assure you that you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style. Read More »

Besides all the glitz, glamour and fancy trends those 100-pound fashion magazines are pushing on you this season, there are eight things you must have in your closet (not counting undies, bras and socks, of course – you still need to wear those).  Things that will always work, no matter what. Things that you can mix and match and dress up or down for any occasion. Things that are just plain cute.

Lucky for all of us, all 8 of those things can be nabbed for under 20 buckaroos!  And what’s more, these key pieces will barely ever putter out of style.  If they do, tuck them back in a dark corner for the season and bring them back out with next season’s Vogue. Read More »

As the 5th season of Project Runway draws nearer (next week! Yessss!), I can’t contain my excitement. I have spent the past week watching all the season marathons (one of the perks of workin’ at home!) and I have even been doin’ a little runway walking everywhere I go. Yes, that is a true story.

In honor of the big event (it will be the last good season of the show before it moves to Lifetime…ew), I decided to take a trip down PR Memory Lane. Where are the big winners now and, more importantly, where can I buy their sh*t?

Jay McCarroll:

We haven’t seen much of Jay since his big win on the first season of Project Runway. Well, I saw him once doing some weird thing where he sat in a window front in some store in NY and talked about all the people walking by. But in terms of designing – the reason he won the freaking show – there has been, well, nothing. It has been years since Jay walked that delicious line down the runway and…nothing. Not a peep. Not a single stitch.

Well, he is finally in business. Online business, to be exact. But is he selling gorgeous knits? Is he making people “see fashion in a new and different way”? No. He’s making f-ing t-shirts…and ugly bags.

Ugh. Bring us the knits, man. The knits! Read More »
