Well humans, it's almost September, which means it's nearly time for college students to head back to campus. Whether you're an incoming freshman or a returning sophomore, junior, or senior, you most likely know the struggle of organizing your dorm…

It's safe to say that anytime the weather is nice enough, couples in love take the opportunity to have an outdoor wedding. If you ask me, attending weddings in a field or on a beach is great, but finding shoes for an outdoor wedding is not. As…

It's hard not to love the autumn, what with the awesome fashion trends that are born every season (and the pumpkin spice lattes, too). IMO, the best clothing surfaces in the fall — from flannel crop tops to burgundy tights to fringed jackets — so…

Even though the #FreeTheNipple movement is über trendy right now (and rightfully so), I think it's about time we salute the world of weird bras once and for all. The debate about whether bras are good or bad for you is never-ending, but from my…

In my opinion, there is no man who has ever had as beautifully luscious locks as Jared Leto. Even though he is an amazing musician and actor, Jared Leto's ombre hair (when it was down past his shoulders) was what I grew to adore him for. Of course,…

Summer is coming to an end, which means back to school sales are popping up left and right. Of course, this means most students are probably trying to figure out the "what to wear on your first day of high school" question. I mean, first impressions…

OK, I will proudly admit that I am one of those women who strongly despises wearing pants. That being said, as much as I avoid wearing bottoms, wide leg pants are the trousers I reach for when pants are absolutely required. Lucky for me, wide leg…

There is no question that Rihanna is a free spirit when it comes to most things, including her outfit choices. Rihanna's street style is a whole world of intensity and I cannot stop lusting over it. From pairing boyfriend jeans with Puma sneakers to…

Are you one of the thousands of women who have their entire wedding planned out on Pinterest? As one of those people and a fan of Lord Of The Rings, I'm always on the lookout for fantasy-inspired engagement rings that don't look like your…

I would be the first to admit that I am the girl who loves wearing smoky eye makeup in the summer. I honestly don't understand why rocking heavy makeup in the summer is something society feels like it can shame us for. Let's be real, who doesn't…

The '90s was arguably the decade of the rise and fall of fashion's trendiest trends ever. But out of all the fashion trends from this great 10-year span, denim skirts from the '90s were my absolute favorite. Everyone and their mother wore denim…

2015 has definitely been the year during which everyone has been addressing problematic race related issues prevalent in our Western culture, and amongst the hot topics has been cultural appropriation within the entertainment and fashion industries.…

Hair trends are always coming and going so fast that it is hard for me to keep up. The recent hair craze that I discovered on Tumblr is black girls wearing flowers in their hair. Yes, you heard it correctly, these ladies are wearing flowers in their…

Real talk: I am exactly the type of person who has no qualms with confessing my deep love for Drake. But instead of speaking on my everlasting devotion to the 28-year-old rapper (devotion that my boyfriend and close friends do not approve of), I am…

OK, congrats to you if you have a job interview coming up this season, because I know how exciting that can be. The question you probably have, however, is what can you wear to a summer job interview? Let's be honest, those wool, linen pants that…

I will be the first to admit that my favorite celebrity couple is Kim and Kanye (aka, Kimye). I seriously cried tears of joy when I found out that Kimye is having a baby boy. I mean, Kim Kardashian is my sister in my mind, so this is huge family…

Confession time: I am a lip product hoarder. I am always anxious to buy the hottest lip products of the moment, and the trendy new lip products right now are liquid lipsticks. I know liquid lipstick sounds quite messy and not worth the splatter…

OK, am I the only person who was super excited for the first day of school growing up? I mean, the excitement to wear my fresh first day of school outfit was so real for me. I would have my entire ensemble out — including the shoes and undergarments…

Truth time: When I was younger, I would lie and say that Angela Simmons was my cousin due to us sharing the same last name (and I thought she was super cool, obviously). Nevertheless, you cannot deny that Angela Simmons' style proves her a true…
