This week I found studded accessories, shoes, shirts, and leggings. Pair these clothes and accessories with the things you already own to really make your own rendition of the studded trend. Add the studded wallet from Zara to your already fabulous LBD. Or pair the hot pink top from Forever 21 with your favorite pair of skinny jeans
Urban Outfitters is selling this "Dirty Hand Sanitizer" as a $7 stocking stuffer. Do the tag lines, "Wait - was that slutty?" and "A gentle, reassuring solution," reinforce the notion that being a slut is bad and that doing naughty things makes you morally unclean? The label features only a woman. It's sans man, which further implies that only a woman can be a "slut." But wait - it's supposed to be a joke, it's made for people who get the joke, it's ironic!
Now that mixing prints is more popular than ever before, adding polka dots to the mix is a go to choice. I used to be weary of polka dots myself, but there are endless ways to wear spots without looking outdated or like a little kid.
There's a new plague making its way across college campuses from coast to coast. Take one step into your local incorporated coffee shop, vegan restaurant, Urban Outfitters or American Apparel store and you will be afflicted. (Or blinded by all the neon spandex and overwhelming scent of cigarettes.) I'm talking, of course, about hipsters.
Although the store itself has racks on racks on racks of sale clothing, the marked discounts aren't always too generous... $10 off a sweater is great, but when the starting price is $60, you're still paying a heck of a lot (at least in terms of the average college student's budget).
I found I was lacking bracelets so I decided to make them my target. We've all seen "arm parties" making the rounds on the internet, and now is the time to stock up on your bracelets and bangles to throw your own bash.
Lisa Frank's beautiful art has the inflation rate of a Picasso. Can't snag some of her precious mini erasers for 25 cents, those babies are $10 for a pack of six now.
We've all been in the situation of wearing cute shoes to class and ending the day in unbearable pain with blister covered feet, have we not?

As my wardrobe continues to expand there will consistently be 8 things in my closet season after season. I've compiled the list of 8 different articles of clothing that all of you should own!
By now, I'm sure you have witnessed the mint trend. It's hard to walk down the street without seeing someone sporting mint jeans (Which I just so happen to be a big fan of!).
I couldn't choose just one print or one pattern, so instead I chose a random assortment. I personally love prints and know for a fact that I don't wear enough of them.
Anyone who reads my columns knows that I'm a girly-girl. Pink bows, fluffy teddy bears - the whole nine yards of girly. So, you can imagine my excitement when I found the Tool Leather Lady Bag by Kimchi Blue. Not only is it made of PINK leather, it's embossed with dainty florals AND has the words "lady" in the name. SOLD!
Urban Outfitters is popular for their stylish clothes, fun accessories and quirky home decor, but their prices aren't always college-student friendly. But luckily for all of us on a budget, Urban Outfitters happens to have a great sale section. Unlike some sites, where the sale section consists mostly of unpopular sizes and pieces, Urban Outfitter's sale section has a great selection and great prices.
I'm going to be honest with you -- my first thought after watching that Shopaholic film was 'so this means if I got a credit card, I could have amazing clothes like that too?' Definitely not the point, as every person I shared my revelation with was quick to point out. But what's a shopaholic on a limited budget to do? Figure out how to do it on the cheap!

Tweed might make you think of a stereotypical professor - the old man (who doesn't know how to use email) with elbow patches on the tweed blazer he wears every single day. Well throw this image out the window, because tweed is a gorgeous fabric that should be in every college girl's wardrobe.
Leather is one of the biggest fabrics for fall 2010. It is also one of the easiest to embrace because EVERYTHING can be made in leather: bags, shoes, leggings, shorts, jackets, skirts...the list goes on. And I love it all. Leather is sexy. It's edgy. And it makes everything look cool.
When moving into either a dorm or an off-campus apartment, your wardrobe will face two major challenges: 1. A major lack of funding (to add more to it). 2. A major lack of storage space. For these two reasons alone, maximizing what you do own becomes essential.
You've got your mattress cover, your mini-fridge, your XL twin sheets, and lots of garbage bags, but there is a whole category of dorm room essentials you are skipping out on. DORMWEAR. Because, if you're like me, no matter how hard you try and fight the stereotypical college student walking round in pajamas and sweats thang, there are times you will break down
One mom approved must-have for both fall and college is a chic fall jacket. The perfect fall jacket is neutral, goes with all your favorite clothes and fits just right. Not to mention, it "keeps you warm on those walks to class. You don't want to catch a cold!" (Thanks, ma.)
Plaid is one of the 10 Modern Pieces Every Girl Should Own and the plaid shirt has become a uniform for both male and female college students. It's easy to wear with jeans, super comfy, and looks good even when it's been balled up on your floor and you only have 10 minutes to make it to class.

What's the one thing you should have in your closet before moving to school? It's definitely not a pair of sweats or an oversized tee. But, if you do it right, this very special wardrobe essential can feel just as good.
If you've grown a bit sea sick from all the nautical-inspired clothes you've been sporting this summer, why not return to dry land and go more utilitarian with the military-inspired pieces dominating stores? These pieces have a harder look, with cargo pockets, neutral colors and grommet detailing.
Fun fact about color - any color in the spectrum that is a mixture of blue/green can be referred to as a cyan. Under this broad term is the ever popular turquoise and many similar shades of fabulous.
This year's fashion trends range from the ranch to the yacht, and stripes are one of the perfect ways to look seaworthy this summer.
The easiest way to incorporate nautical elements into your wardrobe is with stripes.One of my favorite Spring 2010 fashion shows this year was D&G with their western wear inspired collection. Being from Calgary, Alberta, home to the "Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth," I see a lot of western wear during the 10 days of the Calgary Stampede. And most of it is tacky, ugly and ill fitting.
Summer is in full swing and while we're all busy toiling away at our internships and jobs, it's hard not to dream about those relaxing and fun summers of our past. Not only did we have zero responsibility back then, but we had all of our friends to chase through sprinklers and get Dairy Queen with. Not anymore.
