American Rag Sweaters
Ugly sweater party coming up for the holidays? Might as well be a little different if you're going to stand out anyway! So try Fair Isle sweaters in this remixed way, with American Rag's Fair Isle poncho sweater (see title link). It's $69 at Macy's and is hooded, comes with pom poms, and that sophisticated, comfy poncho cut.

Gold Scarf
Fancy scarves are great to wear for holiday parties, but I also prefer them for simply a winter day out - I used this one from Urbanog to take friends to the airport after finals (see title link)! It was only $10, and what an accessory!

Forever 21+
Forever 21 has an entire line of plus sizes! I personally am not a plus-size, but I love that it has everything, including some cute body-con dresses for the club! Because if you've got curves, you might as well flaunt them with the wildest print possible! The leopard print one I found costs just $25 (see title link).
On-the-go contest
This is a cool contest to enter. Playtex Sport wants tips from you to remain unstoppable while on the go. If you upload a photo (see title link) you can win a $500 shopping spree and be one of seven girls featured in a brand promotion! Playtex Sport tampons for the win! Definitely a cool branding idea, and different from the standard print ads.

Weekend Bling
I don't wear completely different looks on weekends, but I like adding a little something, like a plain gold ring (see title link).

Beautiful Bling
This starburst necklace from Sassy South Jewelry is just $52 but so beautiful. I love sparkly necklaces on toned-down looks, like for a Friday night (see title link).
Boots as slippers
I've seen girls wear those undurable Ugg-replica slipper boots around the library, but I didn't realize some stores market them for indoor use. Much more practical and warm - JCPenney has some great ones in their pajamas & slippers section (see title link). I found some plain ones for just $21.99.

JCPenney's Jacket Collection
JCPenney is great for shopping for winter outerwear. I buy boots there every year, and the jacket and coat collection in Juniors are well-priced. Some are just $60 (see title link)!
Soda Shoes
Not into hardcore combat boots, but this Soda Shoes Dome style has been worn all over my campus, especially during reading period for finals! They're lace-up, once again, and I'm a fan of the Skin color since it's a little different. I like the double buckles at the back to give an extra edge, and the front side zipper is unique as well (see title link)!

KarTRASHian Kolors
No longer a Kardashians fan since Kim's fake wedding, but I'm into the colors in their new nail collection with Nicole by OPI called Kardashian Kolors. The Khloe Had a Little Lam Lam is gorgeous, and the nail lacquers are allover beautiful. Dries fast, too, and feels salon-quality, although that could just be the Kardashian brand. No DBP, toluene, or formaldehyde. Costs $7 (see title link).
Get Baby-soft lips
Check out Maybelline Baby Lips SPF 20 Lip Moisturizing Balm (see title link)! They come in tinted shades as well, so you look cute and are helping your lips stay healthy! It's 8-hour hydration to keep you going, and they claim it to be "clinical care", which may be an exaggeration. Love the Peach Kiss shade the most, because it looks nude and protects my lips. Make sure to put it on smoothly, all along the bottom of your lip, for best protection.

Pretty Little Liars
What's the big deal about this show Pretty Little Liars? When I saw the promos for it, I thought it looked melodramatic and cheesy, something meant for tweens. Little did I know that many of my college friends watch it! Still haven't seen it myself, but hey, their fashion is rockin (see title link). If anyone else has time, it airs Mondays at 8 beginning January 2 on ABC Family!

Maybe she's born with it...
I usually focus on specific products from specific brands, but I realized I've done so many posts on this brand (for several different products) that I had to call myself out on it. Maybelline New York. I love them for their new ideas, innovative tools, and affordable prices. I always feel more confident and beautiful when I'm wearing makeup created by Maybelline, and I'm not stressed out about how much I spent on it. That's powerful (see title link).

Missing Girls
Did you know nearly half a million people were reported missing in America last year? Nearly half were girls under 21. That's a crazy statistic. Let's make a pact to try and find the lost girls (see title link).

Braided Belts
Braided belts are all the rage right now. I choose soft hues, like cognac, to match my brown boots in the fall. Combined with bright prints, like birds, for example, these belts look super-sophisticated. Best of all, you can buy them for relatively no money. Make Me Chic has braided belts that cost just $8 (see title link)!

Adidas goes wild
Check out these sneakers from Jeremy Scott x Adidas Originals (see title link)! I saw Heather Morris of Glee wearing them in a magazine and thought they were adorable. The fuzzy pandas combined with the black-and-white classic Adidas Originals by Originals is a great addition to the world of women's shoes.

Want to find out more about college life before entering it? Try Seventeen magazine's Freshman 15 (see title link), where girls talk about their first-year experiences through video blogs and social media interactions. Jaymie, from the College of Charleston, for example, just decided to study abroad during her junior year instead of sophomore year!

Cords for Petite girls
O'Neill has a cool collection of women's pants and jeans. Jeans can be found in many places, but it's really difficult to find a good pair of cords. Some look like you just woke up and are coming in pajamas, while others in funky colors just make you seem like you're trying too hard. Gray cords with a fairly skinny fit do the trick. That's what I found here (see title link). For petite girls, these $50 corduroy pants help show off slender legs while adding definition. Looser shapes should just not be done!

Fit Me [well, you, technically]
I was intrigued by the Shade Finder (see title link) that they feature on each product's page, so I tried taking the quiz to find mine. Honestly, for those of us who don't know if we're "warm" or "cool" it's useless. They need a simpler way of finding the shade.

Asos - Sheer Perfection
Asos makes some adorable sheer tops! This one is $51 and is available on their website (see title link). Such a pretty yellow, too!
Cheating Confessions? No, Thanks
Seventeen magazine has a section about anonymous juicy confessions. One of them is about cheating confessions. Honestly, TMI. I don't want to hear that you emotionally cheated on your boyfriend with your ex (see title link). The fact that the magazine is condoning this when it can be an educational source for girls is shameful!

Cute Fall Dress!
This is an adorable, but EXPENSIVE, dress, I found at Fred Segal the other day, from RPS Addict. It costs $104 and is a subtle knit dress which is perfect for this time of year. Wear it to a weeknight play, performance, or just to feel snug but put-together (see title link)!

Tame Flyaways at a Drugstore Brand Price
Samy Dry Icing Instant Re-Styler can be used to tame your flyaways. I have ridiculously curly hair and definitely need some creamy pomade to make it better. If you make a braid to fasten with an elastic, some pieces are bound to fall out. The Hair restyler takes just 30 seconds for visible results, and gives your hair volume and lift. Just $10 at Walgreens (see title link).

M. Haskell jewelry can be pricey at times, to say the least - but some bangles are just worth the splurge, or at least the style inspiration. The beaded bangle style looks good on EVERYONE, seriously (see title link)! So feel free to go ahead and be bold.

Nike's comfy sports bras
When I work out, I like to wear a sports bra to give me some extra support. Some women can rock just those without shirts, but I'm definitely not jacked enough to do that. So I need a bra that feels good, rather than just looking good. Nike's bras are great for that, and provide a great top to your workout clothing (see title link).
