This week my Night Styler is centered around a clothing trend I will admit I was a bit baffled with in the beginning, but has slowly and steadily grown on me: the pant jumpsuit.

We’ve seen this throwback to the 80s’ cousin, the romper, all over the place for a couple of years and I will admit that I have a purely love/love relationship with those cute little guys. But this season designers really took it back by featuring flowy pantsuits we haven’t seen since ’88.  Admittedly, this isn’t a look that everyone can pull of (heck, I’m not even sure I can pull it off, but God knows I’m gonna try), but it might not be as difficult as you suspect with the right shoes and accessories.

This jumpsuit from Express has the look down. It’s flowy and loose-fitting, but still maintains a sexy quality that’s sure to get looks.  Bonus: it comes in four colors, including this season’s it color – hot pink. (Note: hot pink is hard to pull off on its own and attempting to do so in the form of a jumpsuit is not for the weak.) Bonus #2: It saves you time choosing pants and a shirt, as it’s already done for you. Read More »

Growing up on the East Coast, my friends and I were always unbelievably anxious to shed our winter puffies and throw on the denim shorts that were always too short for school (and for walking around, and going out at night, and everything, really…). We believed that once the temperature hit 45 degrees, it was time to swap boots for flip-flops and turtlenecks for tanks. Unfortunately, we ended up looking a bit foolish walking through the halls as if we were leaving that day for Spring Break.

When I moved to New England for college, and endured winters ten times more horrific than those in New Jersey (yes, that’s where I’m from, no laughs please), I began to learn how to transition from winter to spring more tactfully. Keep these things in mind and you’ll never look like beach Barbie when the flowers are still blooming. Read More »

You wake up for class and something is different. It takes you a moment before you realize that – OH MY GOD! – there is sunlight coming into your room! It’s not dark or dreary out!

You pull back the shades (or sheet you’re using as a shade) and let the light in. Your mood is instantly lifted.

You skip to the bathroom to take a shower and hum a little tune to yourself as you lather up. While you blow-dry your hair (no ponytail today!) you plan out your first-day-of-Spring outfit: new bright cardigan, new jeans and – YIPEEEEE – flip flops! You are so excited for the day ahead that you even swipe on a little bronzer.

Before you head out the door you toss a magazine into your bag. You have an hour to kill between classes and instead of running home and sitting by the heater, you will grab an iced coffee and sit outside people watching (read: secretly hoping that guy you heart will walk by) and catching up on the latest celeb drama.

And now you are ready. Read More »

Today is the first official day of Spring, ladies! Sure, you might not feel it yet (I know I wore a winter coat to the bar last night), but that is what the calendar says, so bust out the Havianas and madras and embrace the new season!

It’s amazing what the weather can do for your mood. Just the thought of rocking my new Ray Ban’s with a pair of flip flops has me jumping for joy. Seriously, the guy who lives below me just jabbed his broom at the ceiling. Maybe once he sees the sun shining he’ll stop being so grumpy.

Anyways, I. LOVE. Spring. It’s my favorite season of the year by far. Jean jackets, spring dresses, sangria on the porch – there is nothing better. And the rest of the CollegeCandy writers agree. See what they love most about spring. Read More »

[I want it, I need it, I can’t live without it. There are so many things on store shelves and racks right now that we want to take home and hang in our closets. Things that are so cute, everyone should know about them. We’ll share ‘em with you here (because we’re that nice), but as far as actually getting them goes….well, you’re on your own with that one.]

Need something sexy and sweet? This peach dress from Lulu’s has got you covered. It features a sheer layer over light peach fabric, held up by a drawstring tied around your neck. Elaborate, colorful beading on the front adds a glamorous touch to the dress, and the twisted straps provide extra comfort. The unique construction has the sheer layer ending in a V on the back, and the tall banded hem hugs you to show off those legs you’ve been working on all semester.

So, when that hot, new club has its grand opening or one of your friends is throwing a birthday party at an upscale restaurant, be sure you have this dress in your closet. Throw on some heels, add a few accessories here and there, and you’ll be feeling peachy keen.

[Every week our style guru takes a celebrity look and breaks it down for you, our poor college fashionista. What does that mean? It means that while the celebrities are spending $5,000 on an ensemble, you don’t have to.

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 (almost) March. I can’t believe it. Namely because I can’t believe I am actually this pasty and I don’t know if two months is enough time to rectify the albino-ness that is my skin.

But everywhere I turn it’s cute, short, tight, high waisted skirts. Ones that scream, “You have to have me!”And after seeing this look on Amanda Bynes, I know that I need to invest in some quality self tanner so that I too can rock this look without looking like I spent all winter soaking in a vat of White-Out.

So while I go grab some self tanner that won’t make me orange here is this week’s Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Amanda Bynes is High (Waisted) Read More »

One of the hottest accessories trends for spring is stacked bangles. This trend is not about subtlety, but about mixing bracelets together in a fun, unique way. You can try experimenting with different colors, shapes, prints, sizes and textures. Buy a set that’s already together or try and DIY with three or four you already have.

Here are some of my favorite sets. Just click on the picture to get more info (some that are shown together are actually sold individually): Read More »
