August Madness: And The ’90s Champion Is….

You, dear readers, have spoken.

The battle was tough. Some good men lost (I’m talking to you, Backstreet Boys and Skip Its). There were some major upsets (I loved Gel Pens just as much as the next 12-year-old, but who knew they would make it further than Monica Lewinsky?!). There were some huge surprises (Beanie Babies didn’t make it past round 1? WTF?)

But much like the 2008 presidential election, you came out in droves, and let your voice be heard week after week. And with 61% of the vote, you made it very clear that Cory and Topanga were the biggest and best thing to come from the ‘90s. (Side opinion: The mushroom cut that Sean used to rock – not really all that great.)

To say we at CC HQ were shocked is an understatement. Hell, even Cory Matthews himself was speechless.

Seriously, we asked him. Read More »


8 Under $20: Last Minute NYE from Forever 21

Hard to believe that in only 2 days we’ll be ringing in the new year and it’ll have been a decade since all that Y2K mumbo jumbo.

I know; that whole “only 2 days” thing freaked me out, too. Not because I’m not ready for 2010, but because I’m not ready for NYE. I’ve been so busy unwrapping presents and relaxing in front of the TV that I have yet to secure a NYE-worthy ensemble for the big countdown.

But it’s OK. As usual, Forever 21 has come to the rescue with some pretty fantabulous frocks and smocks for under $20. So grab that wad of Christmas cash (don’t worry, you won’t need much of it here!), and head over to the mall. Here are some of the goodies our BFFs at F-21 have to offer for the big, bold and boozy night. Read More »


Night Styler: Ring In 2009 Lookin’ Mighty Fine

new-years-eve-balloon-drop.jpgIt’s hard to believe we’re about to celebrate our entrance into 2009 (Y2K was really almost 10 years ago?!?), but get over the shock, people, because that means it’s time to start lookin’ for that uber-hot outfit for the biggest party night of the year.

Ringing in the new year looking absolutely fabulous is a huge part of that NYE experience and while I’m not the biggest fan of sequins and fancy embellishments on a usual basis, New Year’s Eve is the perfect time to go all sorts of sparkly. Here are a few options for looking gorgeous on that big night. Gorgeous enough, in fact, that you will secure a midnight kiss, fo sho. Low on cash after the holidays? You can still find a perfect frock at Forever 21, Target, or those amazing post-Christmas sales.

Sparkly, sparkly, sparkly is a fun way to shine (pun intended) on New Year’s Eve, and you can either go over the top with pieces that are solid sequins, or you can go for more subtle pieces with a little less but still add a special sparkle and pizazz to any ensemble. Read More »
