HOT:
Lucite accessories: No longer reserved for strippers and less than desirable occupations, this clear plastic is showing up everywhere. Pricey designers such as Chanel and Dolce and Gabbana are producing everything from totes to dresses this spring season, knocking the myth that everything clear must be cheap.
That being said, you don't have to fork out hundreds of dollars for a bag that you're only going to use on spring break. Betsey Johnson and Necessary Objects make affordable (and really cute) bracelets, belts, etc. that are perfect to try the trend out and see if you like it.
Warning: Do not wear Lucite head to toe; otherwise, it will look cheap, and you'll be completely waterproof.
"Grey's" Shocker: It's clearly the most popular news of the week. I've heard everyone, from friends on campus to women in Genuardi's, talking about Meredith's hypothermia.
After being rescued by McDreamy, all attendees at Seattle Grace are on this case, attempting to save her from death. The thing is, I can't see how the show's creators could kill her off.
Look at what happened to "The O.C."-Marissa died and the show got cancelled. Although there are rumors about a main character getting killed off, my fingers aren't pointing towards Grey herself. It is February Sweeps, after all, which leads me to believe it's an extremely clever way to keep people tuned in, and that's it.
NOT:
Britney Shears…Her Hair: Just when it seemed as though Britney had shown the world everything she had…oops, she did it again.
In the wake of Spears' short-lived stint in rehab (which lasted all of about two days), rumors have been swirling and people have been talking as the former pop tart continues her downward spiral. Spears headed into a San Fernando salon, wishing to chop off her locks, only to be turned down.
Taking matters into her own hands, Brit grabbed the electric razor and got down to business. After that, she headed to a nearby tattoo parlor and got not one, but two, tats on her body. One thing is for sure, she's losing it fast. Even K-Fed's looking better than she is these days.
The Snow…Oh No!: Al right, so a few weeks ago, all I wanted was snow. Now that it's here, I wish that it would melt and disappear forever. The morning delay was nice, but that fact that we still had classes-terrible.
Not only were the roads in no shape to be driven on, there was nowhere to park. Almost a week later, I still see cars circling around, trying to find a parking spot that isn't hidden behind a mountain of icy slush.
Since, it took my friend and me 45 minutes to get her car out of its parallel park job the other day (after reversing like no other, only to smell burning rubber with the spinning of her tires).
I've decided that I'm over it. I can wait until next year for weather like this.
