New Year’s Eve: Expectations vs. Reality
The truth is, New Year's Eve is never what we expect. Like the ball that drops in Times Square, New Year's Eve is usually insignificant and overrated.

The 8 Holiday-Themed Parties You’ll Go to in December
Who doesn't love a good college party? In fact many argue the best partying of one's life occurs during their college years. Now with the holiday season fully in gear, parties just got a whole lot more exciting due to the the mandatory Christmas themes applied to your average Saturday night now through New Years.
CC Beauty Live: 5 Ways To Amp It Up
With the holidays upon us, it's really tough to find time to do your hair and makeup. I mean between eating cookies, wrapping presents, and peeking under the tree, I haven't had a ton of time to get ready for holiday parties. Not to mention I'd rather be on the couch drinking hot chocolate than standing in my bathroom with a curling iron.
Wardrobe Wish List: Mixit Multi Crystal Bib Necklace
Tis the season of endless holiday parties and panicking about not having anything to wear to them. Just because it’s the holidays doesn’t mean you have to wear a red or green ensemble (unless you’re attending the infamous “Ugly Sweater” party) and tacky holiday themed accessories. Please put those snowman earrings away now. And by away, I mean in the garbage.

10 Things We’re Lovin’ About Winter [GALLERY]
HAPPY OFFICIAL FIRST DAY OF WINTER! It’s hard to remember when you're spending half of your day bundling up in the thickest, warmest, heaviest things you own just to walk outside to get the mail, but it's is the most wonderful time of the yearrrrrrrr! Yes, really.
Body Blog: How Not to Gain the Holiday Hundred
During the holidays you will be doing a lot of eating. Whether you are attending a potluck, a get-together with high school friends, or it’s a holiday meal with the family, there is a reason that people call gaining weight during this time of year the “holiday hundred”. Don’t bring in the new year with regrets (and needing to buy bigger pairs of jeans).
Fashion Porn: Get it on with Glamour
Around the holidays there are a lot of reasons to dress up, and I'm not talking about putting on anything but sweats (which in college might feel like dressing up). I'm talking up getting all dolled up for a special occasion. Whether you have a sorority formal, a fancy party to go to with the family, or need something special for New Years Eve, now is a good time to start scoping out looks.
Intro to (Fancy!) Cooking: Baked Brie
In case you haven't noticed, the Oscars are tonight. (Have you made your predictions yet? You only have a few hours left to enter!) If you're anything like me, that means you'll be perched on the couch, surrounded by friends, starting at 5pm to catch, and talk about, all the red carpet drama.
Body Blog: Your Holiday Survival Guide
I could eat my own weight in Grandma’s “Won’t Fail Fudge,” but do I really want to carry around an extra me in 2010? Not exactly. Spring comes quick here in Santa Barbara, so bikinis and spring runs are just around the corner. If you’re located somewhere where you’ll be wearing large sweaters for the next four months – lucky you! (I guess?)
The Weekly Ten: Why You’re Fat
This week I've been inspired by ThisIsWhyYou'reFat.com... or my own personal struggle with winter weight. Between the Christmas cookies, Starbucks peppermint mochas and, oh yeah, lifting my drinking ban, these have all caused me to pack on the weight over the past three months. I could not be more annoyed with the term "winter weight," or having to rationalize that I'm not getting fat, just fluffy.
8 Under $20: Sephora
So if you're like me, part of the fun of being a girl is getting all beautified and purtied up. I mean, beyond the fun that is playing with makeup, what's the point of putting together a cute outfit if your skin looks dry, your hair looks flat and you smell like a thrift store?
It’s On: Aldo Accessories vs. Forever 21 vs. Icing
It’s the holidays - a time for family, good food and, most of all, great parties. But what is all of this without a great outfit? And I mean, sure - the sexy dress, the hot boots, the plush sweater, the perfect jeans; they all make a lasting impression, but it's nothing if you don’t have the right accessories. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, hats, rings and even belts all make an outfit pop.
8 Under $20: Get Ready For The Holiday Parties!
So Hanukkah begins on Friday and Christmas is 17 days away, which means it's time for holiday parties, dinners, and gatherings of family and friends. And that means you'll need some super cute looks to show off.
8 Under $20: Alloy
I'll be honest: I always thought Alloy was for the 12-17 age group, but then I started flipping through their merchandise and realized that they have a ton of cute stuff for us more sophisticated ladies. I mean, how could you not love this dress!?
Wardrobe Wishlist: Summer in The City Sequin Skirt
With Thanksgiving around the corner (I say this with giddiness…pumpkin pie, football, sleeping all day anyone?) the Holiday Season is about to hit full force. Which means my search for the perfect holiday outfit is officially on. The fact that I spend way too much time shopping online means that, of course, I have already found the perfect piece to jump-start this outfit:
The Know: Making Memories
This time of year brings two things to mind: gifts you need to get for everyone on your list (and, uh gifts you found for yourself while shopping for said gifts); and show stopping outfits to wear to holiday parties, high school reunions, or your cousin's bar-mitzvah, which his parents just happened to plan on January 2nd. In another state. And your parents are making you miss NYE to go.
8 Under $20: Payless
It's really no secret that Payless carries a bevy of cute, stylish and affordable shoes these days, especially with designers like Lela Rose, Alice + Olivia and Christian Siriano designing for them. But did you know they also carry a slew of frugalista-friendly accessories
8 Under $20: Tilly’s
I'm pretty sure there is nothing better in life than a really fantastic sale section. Especially at a store stocked with things you already love. Take home some awesome finds on the cheap? Yes please! Much like Urban Outfitters and Express, Tilly's is chock full of really cute stuff at a somewhat "affordable" price. But it is in their fabulous sale section where you really hit the fashion jackpot.
