Summer Movies That Totally Rock
I think we can all appreciate the moments before the theatre lights dim. Laced with anticipation and tangled in a variety of different emotions, these ~2.5 minutes can either make you laugh your face off or get goosebumps (and subsequently start crying).

So in appreciation of these precious moments, my gift to you are the only trailers that are important for this summer. Start popping that popcorn my friends, because these summer movies TOTALLY ROCK! read more…
Trend to Try: Best Vests
If you are someone who maintains a love for winter because you believe warmer seasons don’t allow you to layer, then friend, you are mistaken! Vests are the perfect piece to wear over a loose tank and some high-wasted shorts. They’re like jackets, only without sleeves! Without arm suffocation, you won’t get hot (awesome) and thus, you won’t get sweaty (double awesome). Plus, if you take the idea one step further, you will notice that vests will make a statement and add another dimension to your outfit – so here are a few vests that can fulfil your dream of layering for dayyyys. read more…
FYI: Nicole Richie’s Comeback
With her days on The Simple Life long behind her and her friendship with Lilo gone with the wind, Nicole Richie has been making quite a noteworthy comeback. Many early 2000′s it-girl’s have yet to succeed in this realm (read: Paris Hilton), so let’s take a moment to appreciate the magical wizard that is Nicole Richie. read more…
A Brief History of Tomboyism
Even though The Ashleys got to hang in a souped-up tire fort and celebrate purple day (FYI, this is bigger than hat day and even more hallow than the week of sparkly nail polish), the Recess character I was most envious of was Spinelli. As a closet-Ashley and the token tomboy of the bunch, Spinelli rocked combat boots before they were trending, and was able to throw a mean dodge ball simultaneously! Even though pink scrunchies and cat shirts have their allure, there’s no denying the rough and tumble charm of a tomboy. Film, music, fashion – they’ve all got their own set of boyish chicks. And while we’re not saying you should trade in your bobby socks anytime soon, these lion-hearted, snap-back sporting icons can sure teach us a thing or two about the art of gender-bending. In admiration of their ballsy spirits and enviable trousers, here is Patti Smith and the tomboys who followed. read more…

KANYE: Best, Worst And Most Confusing Moments

Source: Kanyetothe.com/Beautyriot.com
Though Kanye essentially has an empire of his own, he isn’t perfect. In fact, there have been so many “blips” in his career that it’s surprising that he is so highly regarded as some sort of “fashion god.” Although I feel like I’m in no position to argue with that (after all, not everyone can do it like Kanye), I’m slightly concerned that Mr. West might actually think he’s a higher power (read: Tay Swift). After all, he announced that he “is Art” at one of his concerts in Vancouver (I was there and it was a total WTF moment), and he posed as Jesus on a cover of Rolling Stone back in 2006. In the story, West spoke of his ego. “You want me to be great but you don’t ever want me to say I’m great?” And this, by the way, was just shortly after he released “Jesus Walks”…..
Okay, okay, we get it. But what’s next, Yeezy? read more…
