We’ve all had those days in college where we hit the snooze button for the 9th time, only to realize that we have the choice of either getting dressed or brushing our teeth. In the interest of not scaring off the cute boy sitting next to you in English class with morning breath, stock up on Victoria’s Secret PINK loungewear. This way, you can wear your pajama pants to class and still look stylish!

With a wide assortment of casual sweats and accessories that are comfortable and easy to throw on but still sexy (they’re from Victoria’s Secret after all!), this loungewear is great for a variety of on- or off-campus occasions.

Go straight from class to the gym in this great foldover yoga pant:

Keep cozy and warm in a pair of thigh-high sweater tights:

While you probably can’t wear slippers to class (fuzzy kittens don’t scream style!), you can have all of the comfort and warmth of a slipper while still being chic with these studded moccasins.

There comes a time in a woman’s life when she gets a bit bored with the norm when it comes to fashion. She longs to be a bit daring and wear something that really stands out in a crowd. It can be a bit intimidating to take a risk and wear something that sets you out from everyone else; will you be laughed at or considered strange just for wearing an item of clothing or accessory that no one else is?

I am one of those fashion-loving women who adores taking risks and wearing things that others don’t dare to wear. I have learned that while wearing a strange bracelet or pair of shoes may draw comments like ‘That is SO weird”, I may start a fashion trend in my local area. You have to be a bit daring from time to time or else life is boring. At least I think so.

You don’t have to go overboard and dress like a runway model but you can take one item of clothing or accessory and make it a stand-out in your outfit. Be daring but not reach the “scary zone” of dressing different head to toe.

You can wear a funky necklace when wearing a very simple outfit:

Or you can wear a really bold ring:

Wear a pair of eye-catching shoes:

Or wear a interesting blouse:

You don’t have to go to overboard, just take a little bit of a chance. Sure, some people will call what you are wearing “weird” but, you may be the woman who starts a new trend. Don’t let the worry of negative comments by others stop you from having fun with fashion.

The hottest thing on Etsy at the moment are harnesses. Not the kind you strap your puppy into, or the slightly ruder kind, but a new kind of harness. A “fashion” harness if you will.

These harnesses can be worn over barely-there tops or body-conscious dresses. For a more interesting look, try one layered over flowing dresses and baggy t-shirts.

If you were a fan of Christian Siriano on Project Runway, check out his new shoe line for Payless, released September 8. Here are my favorites from his Egyptian-inspired collection!

He has a couple of great flats in his line — feminine and stylish with great, luxe details. Isn’t the turquoise a great color?

I’m a fan of tough-looking shoes, and Christian’s heels and boots don’t disappoint. Hardware and zippers on shiny, leather-like material — I love it!

The best part? You can snatch these up for no more than $50. Now that’s fierce!

Ok ladies, let’s discuss a vital component of our wardrobe that is often ignored: bras. Believe it or not, the bra you’re wearing can totally change the way you look, for better or for worse!

So let’s make sure that your bra is working for you, rather than against you. My top bra pet peeves: 1) When you can see the fabric of your bra underneath your shirt — lumpiness is not attractive. 2) When you have to wear the wrong size bra because they don’t make your size. 3) When you have to decide between paying your rent and buying a new bra. Victoria’s Secret PINK has finally come up with a solution that satisfies all of these common bra problems: their new 2 for $32 Wear Everywhere T-Shirt and Push-Up bras.

These bras are brilliant in every way and are the ultimate basis for any outfit. Perhaps the most amazing part is the pricing — they come two to a pack (either black and nude or black and white) for only $32 dollars- and this is for the same high quality as other Victoria’s Secret bras!

Push up:

This is great for when you need a little extra va-va-voom, but still keeps it classy. It gives the perfect amount of lift and shape.

T-Shirt:

This is the best basic bra there is, holding up to daily wear beautifully, and it converts into a racerback to expand your options even more.

Light up your new fall look with jewelry the color of a classic autumn landscape. From bright orange sapphires to chocolaty smokey quartz, to vibrant peridot gems, you can drape yourself in the same fiery shades that ignite millions of leaves every fall. Pretty hot and tempting, I’d say.

At the warmer end of the spectrum, you’ll find citrines, orange garnets (also known as spessartites) and gorgeous orange sapphires. Fulfill your heart’s desire with a sun-kissed orange sapphire heart pendant that is as affordable as it is stunning.

Should you want to highlight the earthier shades of the palette, look for smokey quartz, tiger’s eye or mocha-colored diamonds. My suggestion: a fabulously regal smokey quartz, citrine and diamond cocktail ring that is sure to showcase your flair for high fashion.
