The 7 Guys You’ll Meet During Summer Break5/21/2013 |
Now that summer’s finally here, you’re free: free to sleep in, free to show off your tan in short-shorts, and–most exciting of all–free to find yourself a fine-looking man! Whether you’re a seasoned summer love vet or you’re fresh on the dating scene, you’ll need to know your options. 1. The Beach Bum It wouldn’t feel right to talk about the boys of summer without first featuring the most summer-loving guy of all: the Beach Bum. Most often spotted sans shirt and shoes, the beach bum does exactly what you’d expect him to do: bum on the beach. Whether he’s surfing every morning, challenging unsuspecting strangers to heated games of volleyball, or even holding court as the lifeguard in the tall chair, this guy never seems to leave the beach. (And we mean never.) You look at him and you imagine you hear “Kokomo” playing softly somewhere... |
The 5 Best Clothing Stores For Your Internship Wardrobe5/16/2013 |
Even if the contents of your closet could clothe a small village, chances are if you’ve never had an internship before, you probably don’t have an office-appropriate wardrobe at the ready. Our street clothes rarely make for good professional wear, so spend these last weeks before your first day shopping for internship wardrobe staples at our favorite budget-friendly stores! What to wear Before you shop, you should know exactly what it is you’re looking for. According to Janice Hurley-Trailor, an executive coach and image consultant, the styles you should be sporting at your internship depend on the culture of the company and the office. “If you’re [interning] for Apple, the culture there is very different than if you’re going to [intern] for a company where you’re going to be a financial planner,” Hurley-Trailor notes. “So you want to know first the culture of the company [and then] the general the attire for that culture.” |

Melissa Davis '145/9/2013 |
My dress is from Nordstrom, my sweater is from my mom's closet and is probably super old, my shoes are Etienne Aigner, and my earrings were made by my friend's mother's company, Everest Originals! Tell us about your look. The look that I have one is one I wear to teach. I'm an education major, so this look is great because it maintains a professional vibe but is still comfortable. It also blends in with the summery theme going on around campus. How would you describe your style? I like color and florals! Since I'm full-time student-teaching next semester, all of the clothes that I've been buying have been doubling for the classroom setting and for daywear, sometimes transitioning to nights out, too. What's your fashion must-have? My black Longchamp bag! I use it to carry my books to class but I also use it in the professional setting and wehn I'm out in town. Black matches everything!

Margaret Dewyngaert '145/4/2013 |
My shirt and my sweater are from Urban, my jeans are from a thrift store, and my earrings are from Etsy! Tell us about your look. This shirt’s one of my go-to items. I tucked it into the jeans for a cleaner silhouette. Describe your personal style. I’d say my style is casual-Philly-urban. (If you don’t know what that is, you’re not from Philly!) If you could splurge on one style item, what would it be? I would splurge on gold name earrings! The ones that say ‘Margaret’ in cursive on them.

Luke Conley5/3/2013 |
Name: Luke Conley Year: 2014, hopefully Major(s): English and Psych Hometown: Mt. Kisco, NY Relationship Status: Single Hobbies/Interests: Reading, writing, boxing, comedy, watching movies, sensitivity, good listening skills, positive relationships with mothers of girls I date, and pandering to Her Campus readers. Celebrity crush? Do I have to pick one? An unholy genetic mash-up of Emma Watson, Olivia Wilde, and whatever girl best exemplifies the acting abilities of Tom Hardy. The technology's not there yet, but a guy can dream. What's your ultimate dream date? I don't know if I've ever mapped out the trajectory, but it would probably take place in summer and involve being caught in some sort of heavy rainstorm. This feels like a weirdly intimate thing to share with Internet strangers. So uh, I mean, something manly. Sports. Ahem. If your life were a movie, which actor would play you? Taye Diggs. Final answer. If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why? Excluding some sort of loophole where I can acquire multiple powers, probably telekinesis. I feel like there's a lot you can do with it. Flying, lifting heavy objects, tasteful flower arrangements from a distance, etc. |
35 Reasons Why Love Is in the Air This Spring4/29/2013 |
As the semester winds down and the sun finally begins to shine, we can’t help but notice that love is in the air. It may not have hit you yet, but you can’t deny that you’ve noticed a lot more handholding and not-so-private displays of affection on campus. You could be next! The end of the semester is the best time to enjoy your DFMO, fling, FWB, or knight in shining armor. Here’s why: 1. You were getting sick of winter. Who wants to make snow angels when you can have water-gun wars instead? 2. Spring fever is catching, and suddenly everyone is more excited about everything from sunny days to soft-serve to Saturday night make-out seshes. 3. Going out for ice cream is a classic first date, and it just felt wrong trekking out for a cone clad in snow boots and mittens. 4. He might no longer have an excuse to give you his coat when you’re cold, but he can still show his chivalry by letting you cut him in line for the ice cream truck. 5. He might even buy you that ice cream, which would be convenient given the sorry state of your bank account after a semester of late-night Chinese food orders and fro-yo excursions. 6. Walks in the park may be clichéd, but they’re a heck of a lot more romantic than snowed-in dinner dates in the dining hall. |
7 Best Break-Up Movies4/29/2013 |
You and your plus one have called things off. Whether you broke it off yourself or got kicked to the curb, you’re going to need some time to heal. If you’re like the rest of us, you’re sad, confused, and in need of some intense Ben & Jerry’s and rom-com therapy sessions. Unfortunately, nothing rubs salt in the wound quite like a bad break-up movie (ahem, The Break-Up... thanks a lot, Jennifer Aniston). Next time you cuddle up for a movie night, solo or with friends, turn on one of these tried-and-true, break-up blues-curing flicks! 1. Forgetting Sarah Marshall In what might be our worst break-up nightmare of all time, Jason Segel’s character finds himself cheated on and dumped by a world-famous, super-hot, and annoyingly perky actress (played by – of course – Kristen Bell). He then winds up at the same Hawaiian hotel as she and her new love bird, an overly sexual Russell Brand. Silver lining: Segel gets the ultimate revenge by shacking up with Mila Kunis, who, according to Esquire, is the Sexiest Woman Alive. While your rebound may not be earning sexy superlatives in magazines, you can bet he’ll be hot enough to make you forget your ex, too! Plus, the perpetually high and endearingly creepy character played by Jonah Hill will make you feel infinitely better about your choices... and your life in general.
