Look, I’m all about being an American, but if there’s one other place on this planet I’d want to live, it’s Australia. Not only is the country beautiful, but it’s given us KugelHopf, a Mary Kate and Ashley movie, Kangaroos and, of course, some very delicious eye candy.

And as today, January 26th, is Australia Day, it’s our duty to honor the land of Oz. But since we can’t hop on a plane, fly 24 hours and present the country with balloons and a cake, we’ll do the next best thing: ogle our favorite Aussies. And embarrass ourselves misusing Aussie slang.

G’day mates!

You’re welcome.

But then I saw this picture of Kylie Minogue. And my world changed. (JK- how pathetic would that be! But it did scream Perfect Balance!)

And so I thought, why not copy this look for you and maybe, just maybe, YOUR world would change too!

Because now dear readers, you can finally achieve that look we all strive for: the one that is that perfect blend of looking put together yet disheveled at the same time. A harmonious ensemble that clearly says “I care about your class, Professor Stein… but not that much, cute boy who sits behind me in lecture.”

So this week, I bring you: Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Fashion POLICE This!

“Vintage” Raglan T

It’s an understood rule among girls that you never really listened to that band you are wearing a “vintage” shirt of… but your dad did back in the days when he was smoking pot and not wearing deodorant, so that makes it totally acceptable. And, you know, cooool. It’s also comfy, cute and an awesome throwback.

Ray-Ban Style Glasses

I love them, but since God blessed (?) me with a large face/head I sadly can not wear them. So I will live vicariously through you, small faced people of the blogosphere. Rock them in an array of colors- or stick with the solid black.

Skinny Jeans

These are great to tuck in to boots all season long

Scarf

It’s yellow and it’s hounds tooth and I covet this scarf. And for $4.80 I don’t feel bad about having it… and then being sick of it in a month.

Moccasin Boots

Sure other writers on this site despise them, but I for one think they are adorable. And besides – it makes your look A Little Bit Country (or is it Indian?) and a Little Bit Rock and Roll. Sign me Up.

Black Hobo

Okay so first of all this one is patent. It’s also black and navy. And it’s 12.99. Yes twelve dollars and ninety-nine cents. And it’s so-cute-it makes me think we should dedicate our site to being the fansite of ‘this bag’ instead of Jeremy Piven. Thoughts?!

Now that it’s getting colder, most of us have finally admitted to need to bundle up. But what to wear?

This year, celebrities are coming out in droves, sporting this season’s biggest trends: color, prints, and an all around put-together outfit.

It looks great, is easy to find in stores (thank God!), and still allows of our individuality to shine through.

The best part? It’s nothing us poor college students couldn’t afford! Celebs are keeping it simple and chic this fall…finally!

Check out some of Hollywood’s hottest and the totally awesome looks they’ve put together recently!

1) Halloween is coming– which means candy and lots of girls prancing around in costumes that always start with the world “slutty”.

2) The return of my coziest sweaters and Pumpkin Spice Lattes which is really one of the happiest moments of fall.

3) Midterms- which usually results in a whole lot of numbers one and two (minus the slutty costumes of course).

But more important than all those things?

October is also Breast Cancer Awareness month.

The American Cancer Society estimates the chances of a woman developing breast cancer in her lifetime is one in eight.

What’s even scarier is that breast cancer is being found in women younger and younger (such as singers Kylie Minogue and Anastasia).

A key factor in breast cancer survival is early detection. So, listen up!

Right now, in front of your computer (I won’t judge) I want you to feel yourself up. Go for it. Let those girls of yours know its play time. But before you boogie on down: click here for a video on how to give yourself an accurate breast exam. Then, I give you monthly permission to have a play-date with your lil (or big) ladies.

Even more fun than monthly breast exams? During the month of October you can spend, spend, spend for a good cause (not that we really need an excuse to shop) but when all our favorite stores are pitching in to help the fight against breast cancer? Well, that would just be rude of us not to whip out our plastic card.

Here are a few of my favorite Breast Cancer items:

• Bloomingdales has an entire “Pink Boutique” chock full of cute clothes that go towards the cancer cause. AND they even are selling gift cards where 10% of what you spend will go towards Breast Cancer Research.

• Now while I am far (like 3 light-years away far) from being the next Top Chef, the pink products from Kitchen Aid are so adorable that they almost (keyword being almost) make me want to step into the kitchen.

Kitchen Aid’s also started a “cook for the cure” party idea. Go to kitchenaid.com and get started with the “party kit” which is chock full of brunch and dinner recipes. Then invite your faves over for a study-break and ask each one to bring a donation for Breast Cancer…(and don’t forget to don you new pink apparel!). Click here for more info!

• Bobbi Brown released a lip combo of their best selling Sandwash Pink Lipstick and exclusive Pink Flower Shimmer Lip Gloss. A perfect combo of colors (I tried them last time I was at the store) for day or night.

Although no one knows 100% what causes breast cancer (hence all the shopping for Breast Cancer Research!) There are things you can do besides monthly breast exams to help lower your risk:

Eat a healthy diet (and no 100 calorie packs don’t count)

Maintainin a healthy weight (click here to see if you’re currently in a healthy weight range)

Limit the amount of alcohol you drink.

Exercise regularly (try Xflowsion if you’re bored with your workout!)

Researchers do know that a woman’s age, gender and lifetime exposure to estrogen as well as your age at the time of your first childbirth play an important role. So, consider switching to a lower dose of estrogen birth control as well.
