Update Your Wardrobe For Back To School Season

candies kohlsLast night in New York City the temperature was in the mid-60’s, which means one sad thing:  summer is all but over.

But with the change of season comes one very silver lining: it’s time update that wardrobe!

This weekend take some time and hit up Kohl’s. Didn’t think Kohl’s had anything besides pots, pans and clothes for your mom? Think again, missy. After being sent there on an errand for my mother I spent 2 hours shopping their awesome designers (at totally not-designers’ price) and walked out with over 3 bags full of stuff.

No joke.

They carry the new line from Candies, which is way more than (cute) shoes. It also boasts jewelry, apparel and other adorable accessories, not to mention Ms. Britney Spears as their spokeswoman. There is also the Vera Wang line, Daisy Fuentes, and Mudd, which has some pretty great denim in their fall collection.

People compliment me all the time on my Kohl’s finds. It’s definitely worth the trip.

Below is a list of our writers’ favorite wardrobe items. You may want to consider adding these items to your over-stuffed closet; obviously, they are totally worth it. Read More »


How The Mean Girls Made Me Awesome

I’ll never forget that fateful day in art class, senior year of high school. This (pardon me if I seem rash in this titling) bitch named Ashlee was in my class. She was cool in the sense of…not cool at all, with a god awful short haircut and horrible highlights and delusions that her Nike sneakers with Mudd flares threw her into some high fashion club.

She was also dating a guy–the quarterback (of course)–who had secretly had a crush on me (a fact I didn’t find out until college).

The quarterback and my sporadic and subtle flirting, combined with the fact that she hated me for not kissing her ass, lead to Ashlee on a mission to make me cry. And one day; it almost worked.

There was a spider in our classroom. Ashlee flipped out in the typical “popular” girl fashion (“oh my gawd, oh my gawd! Do something!“), and I told her to chill and went to pick it up to put it out the window. I squated down to let the spider walk onto a piece of paper and suddenly, there was her ugly grass stained Nike sneaker…smashing it on my hands. I wanted to cry but instead I stood up and said,

“God, you’re such a bitch.” Read More »
