Do good for your community

If you're looking for a way to do community service, whether it's for boosting your resume or out of the goodness of your heart, do it in a fun way so you give back more happily! If you love playing with puppies, for example, go volunteer an hour per week at an animal shelter! You can take them out of their kennels for a while and give them some much-needed love (see title link).

LBD for the season

Absolute gorgeous dress with an amazing fit which I found at Macy's this past weekend. It's a $59 dress from City Triangles which is currently on sale for just $35 online (see title link). The Sleeveless One Shoulder Beaded Draped Mini is super-glamorous and fierce! I'm in love with Grecian silhouettes and this one's even more sexy with the fitted skirt. Lined with polyester and thigh-high.

Guys answer

If your guy is texting the whole time he's with you, don't fret! He may just be nervous so he's clinging to it for support. If you tease him a bit he should snap out, says Michael, a guy surveyed by Seventeen magazine (see title link). Yep, he looks great in that white tee!

Exclaim your cuteness :)

You may want to tone down the exclamation points on your fashion during the winter, but don't forget to accessorize! These 0.5" Bow Studs from Girlprops with Vintage Tooling in Antique Brass are just $4.99 (see title link)! But they'll put a new look on your face instantly!

Get your hair done!

Pampering yourself to the ultimate doesn't have to break your bank - just do one simple thing, because in truth, that's all you need to feel different and more beautiful. Campbell F. McAuley, for example, is a hairstylist at Solo Artists (Sydney Hair Care). She's done hair for Nikki Reed (see title link)! Speaking on Twilight, Reed reveals there was a lot of drama on the set because of the history, love, hate, and fighting exchanged among the cast!

Ben-Amun bling

Ben-Amun, a line of jewelry created by designer Isaac Manevitz, makes wonderful little accessories to keep in your collection. They're subtle but so classically beautiful (see title link). I favor their bracelets in particular (like a rhinestone one I found) but it's all amazing!

Oxfords - Great to dance in!

These Wanted Oxfords are great for walking, dancing, or any other strenuous activity. The Jade Black Patent shoes are Lace Up and cost $50 (see title link). They have a wing-tip detail heel with 1.5" of height and medium width. Pair them with tights and a dress, jeans, or anything else!

Betsey Johnson actually makes edgy stuff, too?

Never in a million years would I be able to pull these off. But for those of you who can and do often, here's a pick for you! I couldn't believe these shoes were from Betsey Johnson, but lo! and behold, they are. The Caylin Shiny Lace Up Boots come in this great Black color and cost a cool $190 (see title link). Maybe it's because they're made of leather and have a 5.75" heel (with 1.75" platform, so you'll only feel 4 inches). You can only clean them with a damp cloth, but I honestly think they'll look edgier once they've been dirtied up a bit. Buy at your own risk!

Tangerine Accessories

I thought tangerine accessories might be too much, but if you buy them in a soft texture, they add just the right amount of spice to your outfit. For example, R.J. Graziano makes a great orange thread bangle (see title link), which can be worn as the night's showstopper (see title link). A wild rager, low-key birthday celebration, whatever!

Oribe's Products Can Speak Volumes

I had never even heard of this brand before, but its products definitely speak for themselves. Oribe Hair Care's Dry Texturizing Spray gives your hair so much body, you can create a great tousled look with the flattest hair. It even has the perfect diameter to use to curl it a bit, with ample bobby pins! Warning: Could be glamorous or disastrous. The spray's polymers absorb oil at roots, and charge $39 to do it (see title link).
