Fall and winter fashion is all about boots, and I don’t mean Uggs. Boots can update any outfit, from that cute dress for the bar to those skinny jeans you wear to class. Luckily, there are tons of different looks to choose from for every style…and every budget.

Check out my boot picks for fall below; from the low end to the highest end, I got somethin’ for everyone.

Over-the-knee boots

This thigh-grazing style has been seen on fashionable celebs like Mischa Barton. The look is very fashion-forward and a bit hard to pull off, but when done right can look amazing. They look best with pants tucked in, not with short skirts or dresses with a short hem, which leave you lookin’ like a hooker.

If you are looking to splurge, check out the Joie boots on the left ($475), or, for the rest of us, the Newport News boot on the right is only $49. Bonus: they have a cool fold-over top so they can be worn two ways. Read More »

We all love gettin’ a little booty, and the movers and shakers of the fashion world are taking that to heart. The Bootie is everywhere. It is more than a shoe, but less than a boot. You’ve seen it paired with everything from skinny jeans to skirts. It is all the rage on the Fashion Week runways right now.

But what do you think? Can everyone pull these off? Can you?
Booties: Love em or Hate em?

It’s Friday. I’m tired, you’re tired and it was Halloween this week which means we all have hangovers to get over! Sigh. After work/exams/class of course.

So here is a little gossip to keep your blues at bay until the weekend finally comes!

• Ashley Olsen was spotted sucking face with Lance Armstrong at an NYC Hotel Bar on Monday. Apparently, they left together around 2 am. This Sunday, Lance will be partying down with his foundation at the restaurant where I work and if Ashley Olsen shows up, I might just pee my pants. (NY Post)

• Roberto Cavalli confirmed to the press that J.Lo is prego and he has been designing clothes for her as she grows. All this took place at the launch of his new Vodka. Yes, Vodka. Now we all knew J.Lo was preggers but what I want to know is why Roberto Cavalli is selling vodka. Last time I checked, fashion designers and disterllies had little in common. (People)

• The Catholics are fired up at Britney for pictures appearing in her new CD. In one, Britney is confessing, in the next she’s sitting on the priests lap. It’s about the only press she is getting from her new album since Jive has totally given up on her doing any promo for Blackout. And the courts agree she is still a bad mom. Oh, Britney.

The stars came out to play this week in full fashion at the 60th Annual Cannes Film Festival. Take a look at some of the hottest, and some of the not-test looks on the red carpet.

Which starlet is sporting the hottest Cannes couture?

Strawberries have always been my favorite fruit, so I thought “why not wear one around me neck?”

No? Well whatever your opinion of the fruity fashion accessory, Mischa Barton seems to think it’s a good idea and that means it’s A-OK by me (insert sarcasm here).

Kenneth Jay Lane started the trend (for a whopping $112.) and cheaper versions have popping up everywhere. Pick (no pun intended) up your own strawberry necklace at Forever 21 for only $6.80.

Celebs and college students actually have A LOT in common. We sleep late, stay out late, sometimes don’t wear underwear and are interested in being photographed while fashionably eating fast-food. Discussion of pot smoking, though, has always been somewhat taboo on either side. Celebrities don’t want to tarnish their images in being revealed as stoners, and college students don’t want to admit that they spend scholarship money on being a stoner.

However, crusaders like Kirsten Dunst aim to break the silence by starting a public, weed-centered dialogue. Yesterday, the star readily admitted to smoking pot, inhaling it and liking it (she’s no George W.)! She cited genius and apparent pothead Carl Sagan as her gateway into the gateway drug.

Pictures of other stars like Mischa, Paris and Drew Barrymore (shocker!) smoking joints have infiltrated the gossip rags. So are these celebs taking a cue from the virile pot habits of college students, or should we start photographing our own pot odysseys for public consumption?

In any case, the college life is probably as close to the star life as we’re ever gonna get, so light up and hallucinate the paparazzi all you want.

Dresses are by far my favorite form of spring-wear — they’re easy to throw on before class, easy to pull up under rated-R circumstance and best of all, they show off my best asset, the legs.

So obviously when I saw minidresses populating the catwalks I almost peed myself; lovely little frocks in all shapes, patterns and colors … ah, fantastic. Now I can wear really short numbers without feeling like a slut. After all, us lucky 20-somethings are the ones meant to sport the trend. I mean check out the latest pics of Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan — they’re all wearing the minis.

Although I’d love to splurge for some designer duds, I’m settling for a dress I’ve found at Forever21. I know it’s not a quality version, but atleast I won’t freak out if I spill a cocktail on it.

Check out a few of my minidress discoveries:
