How Do You Respond to Compliments?
So maybe our generation is a little bit compliment-crazy (don’t forget to comment about how irreverent and humorous my writing is at the end of this post), but accepting a compliment is always just a tad bit awkward. Why can’t we just say thank you?
An Open Letter To My Hair
Please: just work with me. I am trying to help you; I am on your side! I guess I should start with an apology, or two. I'm sorry I burn you, cut you and tie you up. I'm sorry I color you, curl you, straighten you and harass you in countless other ways. If it's any consolation I do it out of love.

Red has it's heyday during the holiday season (and Valentine's Day!), but that doesn't mean you can't look fabulous in this feisty color any time of year.

10 Hideous Pairs of Pants You Should Never Wear [Photos]
We all know that the perfect pair of pants is a must-have. A stylista's closet is simply incomplete without them -- bootylicious jeans, forgiving slacks, hold-in-your-chub leggings...all essential to seamlessly completing any look. But from time to time we at CC see some "oh-god-why" looks. And often those looks are made that much more atrocious due to a perfectly horrible pair of pants.
Budget Stylista: Polka Dots
Polka dots had a big come back this season. Modern takes on polka-dots have been shown all over the runway by designers who were inspired by the vintage print.

The 10 Fashion Trends That Need to Die in 2012
YSL once said that fashions fade, but style is eternal. He really hit the nail on the head with that one. Just because a print, cut, or pattern is trendy does not, I repeat does not, make it stylish.

The Craziest Sneakers You’ve Ever Seen [Photos]
We all love shoes. From heels to slippers (I know how much you all love UGGs), we can all agree that shoes are the key ingredient to a perfectly chic outfit or the perfect pick me up on a bad day (hello retail therapy). They can say a lot but who you are, what you like and what you're interested in. Especially sneakers. Just because they're basic footwear, doesn't mean they don't make a bold statement.

10 Gifts No One Wants Under Their Christmas Tree [photos]
Realistically, there is no good way to accept a bad gift. There's the high-pitched, run your words together, "thank you so much uncle Rand for this paper weight you're the best...."
