Looking to ride out a sugar high, without the candied jitters and the draining sugar crash? Make arm candy your drug of choice. Feed your addiction by loading your wrist with various types of bracelets, bangles and cuffs to achieve that sugary-chic punch of style.

Add doses of your own personal flavor by mixing in a unique threaded creation, some savory studs, or intervene with a statement skull piece. Don’t shy away from mixing metals or fusing unexpected colors and textures. Try dealing out a bold statement cuff with some beaded beauties and luxe leather wrap bracelets.

Fuel the party by rolling an array of funky pieces onto your wrists; there’s no overdosing in rocking arm candy.

Man Repeller, a high-profile fashion blogging icon, is the queen of arm candy. The Man Repeller pioneered this trend by trade marking her own outrageously cool combinations of wrist revelry: “arm parties.” Man Repeller’s arm parties’ exhibit her signature pairing of playful pieces with timeless, designer watches or cuffs. Pure fashion euphoria.

While some may hesitate to roll up a full-blown rager on their wrist, this arm party trend is an open invite. Every fashionista should always indulge in, at least, a light frosting of an arm soiree. What are you waiting for? Enter the ecstasy.

If you love the trademark red-sole of Christian Louboutin heels, here’s the hottest new nail trend that you absolutely have to try.

The nail design involves swiping a coat of red nail polish (of your choice) underneath the nail area. Clean up the residue pigment with some remover and a Q-tip, and then finish the look by painting the top of the nails with a sexy black (or other Louboutin-esque color of your choice).
 
Adele may have racked up an impressive number of awards at this year’s Grammy’s, however it’s arguable for some that her Louboutin-inspired nails made an even bigger impression. The sultry songstress sensation painted a luminous silver top polish with red underneath, quite the fashion statement.

There are so many ways to rock this trend and make it your very own! With the exception of possibly growing out your nails, what are you waiting for?

Do you love your Victoria’s Secret body mist? Ooh, or what about the Marc Jacobs perfume your bestie bought for you on your birthday? Aw yes, I’m sure you do… and I have no doubt that they smell wonderful. I sincerely have no doubt because I have personally gotten whiffs of those scents countless times. 
 
I’m lucky that I have received good advice in my life, but one piece has truly stuck with me: A woman should always have a signature drink, and a signature scent. Skipping to the second bit of that, Collegiettes, get ready to embrace your individuality and womanhood! 
 
Scent is extremely important. Scent is the true first impression; people can often smell you before they even get to see the beautiful, cool, intelligent person you are. Owning a signature scent is a sacred rule of feminism that Gretchen Weiners didn’t have time to squeeze into the mere 97 minutes of running time. Knowing that, it’s time to make it count.
 

Let’s face it, there are never enough hours in the day. It’s hard finding the time to go to class, study, keep up with friends, and still maintain the healthy habit of powering out to your favorite playlist at the WoodPEC. Whether you live in Dobbs or Gables, finding the motivation to change out of your lecture hall attire and into apparel more fit for breaking just a little bit of a sweat at the gym is a work out in its own right.
 
Here it is: your style guide for dressing trendy for class and cute for the gym – all in one outfit.
 
First, I’d like to stress a key precondition for getting dressed. Always remember: You never know who you might run into. At the library or on the elliptical, looking your best is important to achieve the beautiful confidence of feeling your best.
 
Skip out on the baggy t-shirt and sweatpants “look,” no matter how tempting it may be.
Also, investing in some fabulous new workout clothes will inspire your well-dressed-self to work out more!
 
When it comes to dressing for the gym: “It’s all about the black and neon,” according to my most trusted fashion-savvy and gym-frequenting friend.
 
Quality spandex performance leggings are flattering and make for perfect workout wear. I recommend sticking to the classic black coloring.
 
Pair your black workout pants with a solid-colored performance tank top. If you’re not quite ready to part with your t-shirt wearing ways, reppin’ some school spirit with an Emory crew neck shirt is the way to go.
