Truth: I love looking at celebrity fashion. When I’m flipping through the pages of a tabloid, scrolling through a gossip website or reading InStyle, the first thing I notice aren’t the glaringly provocative headlines, but the clothes that the stars themselves are wearing. Whether celebs are photographed at red carpet events or just strolling over to the food store, they always manage to look so. freakin’. good. (Well, most of them anyway.)

So obvs I would love to be given the chance to go shopping with them… and if I could also have their budget, that would be great too. Here’s a list of my favorite star fashionistas who I would take a trip to the mall with any day. Read More »

Senate Republicans blocked President Obama’s hu-mun-go jobs plan when it went up for vote in Congress this week. The $447 billion bill included a number of incentives and policies that Obama said would increase job growth, support small, struggling businesses and ultimately bolster the still-faltering economy. Fortunately or not, enough of Congress didn’t agree. Only 51 Democrats of the 60 needed signed on to a filibuster that would force the bill back into discussion. Some political strategists say Obama never expected the thing to pass, especially considering the GOP majority in the House, he just wanted Republicans to go on the record against it. Hmmm…tricky, tricky.

The man responsible for the yearlong hacking of over 50 celebrities’ private accounts, known as “Operation Hackerazzi,” was arrested this week. Christopher Chaney, a 35-year-old man from Florida, was perhaps most famous for stealing and leaking nude photos of Scarlett Johansson, which in turn caused the trend of “#ScarlettJohanssoning” (google it…). Chaney acted alone, and claimed his scheme “started as curiosity and it turned to just being addictive.” Other possible victims (nobody is quite sure yet) include Mila Kunis, Christina Aguilera, Ali Larter, Miley Cyrus, Natalie Portman and Vanessa Hudgens. This is only one of the many reasons I am thankful I’m not famous. How did he do it? He simply guessed their e-mail passwords by researching their lives. Chaney could face up to 121 years in prison.

Yves St Laurent once said ”Fashion fades, style is eternal.”  I’ve always found this quote particularly interesting because it reminds us all that it’s not really so much about the clothes as it is about the way in which you wear the clothes. You can wear the most expensive outfit in the world, but that won’t guarantee you style. Style is personal. It comes from within. It’s unique and different and inspiring. It’s why we look back at Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe and Jackie O and Kate Moss and try to emulate their looks, why we try to find the same jacket Rachel Bilson wore to one event and the shoes Lauren Conrad wore to another.

But enough about those girls. You already know they’ve got style, now it’s time to find out who else does. Looking for a new style icon? Another fashionista’s footsteps to follow in, check out these ten right here.

The best thing about New York City in the middle of a very cold and dreary February is, obviously, Fashion Week. And it also happens to be the best thing about being an unpaid intern. This year I got the opportunity to cover a few fashion shows and presentations for my internship — and believe me when I say I couldn’t have been more excited to take on this particular task.

There is nothing quite like NY Fashion Week — the tents are full of a mix of sleep-deprived reporters, stylish socialites, celebrities surrounded by onlookers, and cranky photographers hauling around a ton of equipment. It’s pretty much the most glamorous trainwreck you’ll ever see and little ol’ intern me couldn’t look away. That is, until the doors opened and it was time for the main event. Let me tell you, even if you’re not into fashion (which I totally am), there is nothing like the energy you feel watching a fashion show, from the beginning when you’re waiting around for it start (always expect them to be at LEAST a half-hour late), until the end when you’re giving a standing ovation to a truly beautiful collection. Just knowing I was witnessing something so incredible, something that many people never have the opportunity to see up close, sent chills down my achy-from-walking-in-my-too-high-heels spine.

[Welcome to Celebrity Chic on the Cheap, where 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 (I'm talkin' bout you, Olivia Wilde) are spending $5,000 on an ensemble, you don’t have to.]

I am completely in awe of Vanessa Hudgens. If my four-year long relationship with Zac Efron had ended, I would have fallen off the face of the earth. I would have gone on a bender that would make even Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen stop and side-eye me. My only mission in life would have been to redefine trainwreck. There’s no way I would have stepped out in public on a regular basis looking even more gorgeous and stunning than ever. And yet, that is exactly what Miss V did.

I bow down to her post-breakup prowess.

Vanessa has always had a shabby chic aesthetic that I love. She’s all about pieces that flow with her body, nothing too overwhelming or overly constricting. (Guess she’ll fit in well next Fall?) Her look is flattering and easy to put together, while still being visually intriguing and fresh. Layers and great accessories are staple elements of a Vanessa-inspired outfit and with a little savvy online shopping, I’ve layered and greatly accessorized one for myself. Read More »

While we’re all busy staying up until ridiculous hours of the night studying for finals and attempting to get some holiday shopping done at the same time, Hollywood has been… breaking up some of it’s cutest couples? At least it’s reassuring to know that while we’re stressing, celebs are always there to keep us entertained.

An A+ on Your 20-Page Research Paper

1. Zac and Vanessa call it quits. This might possibly be the most devastating breakup since Brad and Jen. Who didn’t love this adorable Disney couple? They stayed together for 4 years, survived Vanessa’s naked pics, the gay rumors surrounding Zac, and Megan Fox’s flirting – we thought they’d be together forever! And now I’m just confused… should I be upset that they’re over, or excited that Zac is single again? Because as much as I loved this couple, I mean… look at him.

2. Golden Globe nominations were announced! Awards season is upon us, and I can’t wait to bum out on the couch with some popcorn to see who wins what and who wears what! As predicted, the nominations were full of Inception, The Social Network, The Fighter, and Black Swan. I, of course, was ecstatic to see James Franco nominated for Best Actor. If you haven’t seen all of these, get ready to do some serious movie-watching so you’re not behind.

I always forget that I kind of love Vanessa Hudgens. She’s currently pretty irrelevant to my interests, but I mean, let’s think about it – her hair is a work of art that totally deserves a place in the Louvre. She’s hitting it with Zac Efron, in all of his post-Disney hotness, and, not gonna lie, I still occasionally jam out to Say Ok. I don’t exactly know how she’s still snagging major magazine covers, but whatever, she’s glamorous.

However, she’s also boring and forgettable, which is kind of a theme throughout this month’s issue of Glamour. (Great cover choice, editors!) There was no article that was particularly riveting or helpful, and there was no article that was completely atrocious.

But there were definitely some flashes of hot mess.

Glamour says: If your man consistently finishes in 20 seconds and leaves you hanging, be passive aggressive and then talk to him about it.
Jasmine says: If your guy has a problem with premature ejaculation/selfishness, talk to him like a grown-up. You two are grown-ups who have sex, right? Don’t embarrass him or be unnecessarily childish about the situation.

Glamour says: Being naked with someone is a pact, a sacred oath.
Jasmine says: I don’t think anything is sacred after 6 Jager bombs, 4 shotguns, and 4 glasses of wine. Read More »
