After seasons of skinnies, it’s nice to see the wide leg jean make a return. Though I don’t believe the skinny jean is going anywhere anytime soon, it is nice to have options (a girl’s gotta have options, afterall). The wide leg, trouser, and bootcut jean are much more universally flattering and can balance out a more pear shaped figure. They’re also great because they can be dressed up and dressed down with just a few simple tweaks and accessories.

MiH Marrakesh Flare Jeans, $189

Paige Premium Denim LouLou Vinyl Bootcut Jeans, $158

Elizabeth and James Stevie Dazed Jeans, $245

J Brand Lovestory Bellbottom Stretch Jeans, $178

Rock and Republic Roth Jean, $235

With these flattering silhouettes, you’ll be looking more like a svelte sweetie rather than a wide load

So, yes, we all know the Emmy’s happened last night. I, myself, did not watch seeing as I just moved into my new apartment and have yet to get cable installed. Oops. Anyway, One dress that I did catch on the new this morning was that of Ms. January Jones. She chose a blue number by Versace and apparently it’s struck up a bit of debate, although I’m not sure why. To me, this dress is not debatable. It’s ugly. I wouldn’t wear it. You wouldn’t wear it. She’s a beautiful woman, but the dress is fug. Those who say differently are suffering from “The Emperor’s New Clothes Syndrome.” Here’s the dress. You be the judge:

I give Ms. Thang credit for trying something different, but unfortunately, most times “trying to be different” equates to “trying too hard” (or just ugly).

I mean, I’m about to start listing people by first name… But alas, I will save you the embarrassment.

1. Turtlenecks in summer. I don’t care if it doesn’t have sleeves or is a dress.
2. Girls with shitty hair who insist on growing it out. Know your role.
3. While on the subject, not everyone is meant to be blonde. (This goes double for those of you not genetically predisposed).
4. “Sunday Funday.” This couldn’t be more overused. It’s Sunday… guess what that means… Tomorrow’s Monday and everyone knows that’s not very fun.
5. Shit talkers. How’s your breath? No, seriously. How is it?
6. Guys who think the waitress wants to F&*#. She just wants a tip… and not the tip of your …
7. Waitresses who whore themselves out to guys drinking beer. They are not big spenders and I need a refill. Thanks.
8. Co-workers who throw out your lunch. Looks like I need my own Fridge Locker.
9. People who re-Tweet celebrities, verified accounts, horoscopes, and quotes. We get it, they said EXACTLY what you were thinking. Chances are we’re all following them too, so we don’t need you to re-Tweet their shit. Thanks.
10. YOU.

Oh it sure is hard to budget those bills as a fashionista. Sometimes our desire for the latest trend outweighs the urgency of paying that pesky electric bill. Sigh… Life’s hard.

So our interns were discussing that they had signed up for a site called Mint.com and were receiving emails scolding them for going over their budgets. This sounded incredibly intriguing so I went ahead and took my pretty little fingers and typed in the URL. Here is where I landed:

With the click of a few buttons, Mint walks you through adding in your different bank accounts and credit cards. After all of that is entered, Mint takes a moment to go ahead and organize your numbers. A few calculations and TA-DA!! You can now see your debt versus your assets (Yikes!). With tools to help you save, set budgets, and meet goals, Mint will have your finances back on track in no time. You will get reminders when your account gets low or you have gone over your budget. There’s no lying to Mint.

To say this site is eye opening is an understatement. My net worth? Sad. Sad, sad net worth.

The days of balancing checkbooks are long gone, but that’s no reason to be going into debt. All savvy girls should have a handle on their finances. Because overdrafts, bounced checks and ,snipped credit cards are never in style.
