[Life isn’t black and white. As much as we wish we simply loved or hated things, there is often that whole annoying gray area in the middle. Like, we hate snow in April, but we love the extra layers covering our winter pudge. Or we love late night pizza delivery, but hate when we fall asleep before it arrives... Damn you, gray area; you make decision-making that much more complicated!]
Comfortable but ugly fashion trends are easy to feel torn about. We’ve already covered Uggs and gigantic handbags, both of which can be hit or miss. This season, however, one of the hottest (or ugliest?) trends in denim from all designers happen to be the boyfriend jean.
Love it: Obviously, boyfriend jeans are comfortable and relaxed. They may not be the most sexy pair of jeans in your closet, but they’re great for going to class or lounging in the dorms. Boyfriend jeans give off an effortlessly cool vibe no matter what you’re doing. Plus, they give you ample breathing and eating room–their baggy fit promises to never ever create a muffin top.
For the most part, boyfriend jeans look pretty cute when paired with flats and flat sandals, AND, when worn with the right top, they can look almost chic with heels. Hard to believe, I know. Finally, since boyfriend jeans are the newest “it” item, they can be found at any price range and in tons of stores from Old Navy to J.Crew to Nordstrom. Read More »

While I must admit that I crushed on her brother (damn you, Reese Witherspoon) long before discovering my love for her, I am currently in a serious Maggie Gyllenhaal phase.
Like our previous girl crush, Natalie Portman, Maggie really does seem to have it all: beauty, brains, an impressive list of roles and award nominations, and a totally cute daughter named Ramona who took no toll on her model-like, 5 foot 9 inch body.
Whenever I’m discussing my female loves with friends, she always comes up as the “cool, retro looking” actress, and you gotta love an alternative to all the Paris Hiltons out there (no Paris, I do not want to be your new BFF). Her unconventional beauty reminds me of the Hollywood starlets of the past, and this paired with her immense talent qualifies her as my girl crush of the week.
Other reasons why we love her?
She has managed to avoid a negative rep and is never caught by the paparazzi looking cracked out or overexposed, which is more than some Hollywood moms can say for themselves. (Britney… Britney’s private parts…). She has a bachelor’s degree from Columbia University and is very politically active, having spoken out against the Iraq war a number of times and campaigned on behalf of a number of political organizations.

(We’re back with another weekly installment of G.W.W.E. [Guys We Wanna Eff]. This week’s most effable is none other than Jake Gyllenhaal. Sure, he’s all over the tabloids with his serious G.F., Reese Witherspoon, but girlfriends have never stopped us before. Er…I mean…a girl can dream, can’t she?]
Those eyes. That hair. That smile. Those acting skills. It’s a killer combination that leads to one thing: effability. Jake Gyllenhaal has been on our radar since he made his debut in City Slickers. Yeah, we were like 9, but we saw some major potential. And our love has not wavered.
Not even when he did Bubble Boy. Or when he switched teams. Come on; a gay love story? That sensitivity (not to mention, unbelievable acting) only makes us wanna throw him in a tent and eff him more.
We love that he’s a family man, that he’s totally down to earth and that he’s so good to his GF’s kids (but not the fact that he actually has one). We almost died when we heard Jakey was involved in a house fire, but grew even more attached when we heard he helped the homeowner salvage his belongings. And even though he’s been looking a little…shaggy…well, that doesn’t stop our loins from burning. At all.
I mean, look at that body. Has he been working out?!
My god, we’re getting weak in the knees right now. Sorry, Reese – we love you long time, but we’re coming to eff your man.

As I’m sure all you Yankees fans are already aware, Mark Teixeira has just signed on to join the New York team, much to the dismay of longtime rivals, the Boston Red Sox.
Apparently, Marky-poo’s decision to sign with the Yanks was heavily influenced by his wife, Leigh, which we here at CC find totally amazing. It’s one thing to gently guide your man into buying not-so-ugly jeans, or spending his time with you instead of the guys, but there is something to be said about a woman who can dictate her uber-successful husband’s career.
Guess we know who wears the pants in that one.
So this got us thinking: what other couples (besides our parents who both know that mama is boss) out there are dominated by the lady?
It seems this is far more common than we all thought – women are dominating relationships all over Hollywood. Here are a few of our favorites: Read More »

Thanksgiving was pretty awesome, wasn’t it? Lots of food, lots of family and lots of time to do nothing but watch reality TV show marathons and eat homemade desserts. Then you come back to school and it takes only a moment to realize that the comforts of Thanksgiving break are long gone.
Finals are coming.
So now instead of laying low and relishing in the sweetness of chocolate-y desserts, you are spending every waking moment in the library surrounded by books, highlighters, a laptop and hundreds of other stressed out students. You are starving, but the damn library won’t let you bring in snacks and you are far too busy to leave. You have to pee, but there is just no time for it! That paper isn’t going to write itself!
Stop. Breathe. Perhaps a little Study Porn will make you feel better. Here are some of the things getting us through this stressful time. Mmmmm, Coach Bags…. Read More »

(We’re back with another weekly installment of G.W.W.E [Guys We Want to Eff]. This week, we’re honing in on Frat Pack hottie, Vince Vaughn. Not only is he smokin’, but he knows how to party… and will still laugh at fart jokes. What more could a college gal ask for? )
Call me crazy, but I’m bored with college guys. It’s just that they’re…guys. I want to have fun, but is it so much to want to party with a real man? Is there anyone out there who can be mature when he needs to be, but still laugh at my potty humor? I used to think I’d never get my wish, but then Vince Vaughn came into my life.
Let’s think back for a moment to Wedding Crashers. I remember seeing that movie for the first time and thinking, “Where’d Vince Vaughn come from? Hellooooo hottie!” He dropped in on my fantasies as quickly and suavely as he did the Cleary wedding. He was sublimely clever in devising wedding crashing rules, and was equally as impressive with his devotion to the cause. Major bonus points (or shall I say, effability points?) for fidelity.
Vaughn emerged as a major comedic force among the likes of Will Ferrell, the Wilson brothers, and Steve Carell, particularly in the earlier release, Old School. Since then, he’s shown his multi-faceted (yet always effable) dating persona in The Break-Up with Jennifer Aniston, whom he subsequently dated. Their relationship was major tabloid fodder while it lasted, but now he’s been linked to Ugly Betty star, Vanessa Williams.
Never fear! Though he may appear to be off the market, Vince’s effable self will still be featured prominently in the new comedy Four Christmases with Reese Witherspoon. After watching that trailer, I know I’ll be asking Santa for a chance to eff Vince this holiday season!
