    love clinique for foundation and adore sephora brand eye palettes, gel eyeliner, and lipglosses. I’ll have to try the too faced mascara because I keep hearing really good things about it and none of the mascaras I’ve got now are doing it for me.

    Hello ladies, I need your advice. My girlfriend’s birthday is coming up and I was thinking about getting her a new longchamp bag but I’m not sure which size to get, what do y’all suggest? P.S. I’ll also take any other birthday gift suggestions. Thanks

    ^This man has been molded into a true gentleman by his family and by his fraternity. I love the longchamp idea, and if you’re looking for something else, I say pick up a gift set of her favorite perfume and put it inside. Perfume is something that we girls run out of quite often, and the matching lotion goes even faster, so unless she just replaced hers she’ll appreciate that she’s got extra and that her boyfriend put the effort in to figuring out what she wore 🙂

    Running shoes??? Can’t decide on the brand… New Balance 993, other New Balance, Nike, or Asics? I’m from South Carolina and go to school here so no advice other than srat southerners please!

    You can really hurt your legs and feet if you wear the wrong shoes, especially to run. I have really high arches and overpronate so I wear the Brooks Adrenaline, they’re not the prettiest but they’re what works. Before those (I’m on my first pair) I just picked what I thought was cute and I got shin splints because I thought I had to have Nikes and didn’t pick a pair that properly supported my feet and ankles. If you go to Fleet Feet or Omega sports they should be able to help you, but I wouldn’t recommend going somewhere like Dick’s unless you already know what you need. Splints don’t sound like a big deal but they take 3-6 weeks to heal… or 6 months if you’re like me and try to run though them…do NOT do that by the way unless you want to put on major weight from not running like I did. Okay that’s my rant about running shoes… good luck, happy running and replace them every 300-500 miles :)

    Snaps to Srat for a Lifetime! Although I’m not a southern girl, I am a big runner and everything Srat said was perfect! My mom (another sratter) runs marathons for the fun of it and she ALWAYS made us going to our local running store to try on shoes and get properly fitted. The wrong shoes can leave you not only with shin splints, but sprained ankles, stress fractures, tendonitis, and more! So my advice is to go to a Fleet Feet or another running store and have your feet looked at so you can find the perfect shoe – even if it isn’t the prettiest shoe! Ugly shoes for running with good support = pretty shoes to wear out to class and at night!

    PanLAM <3 I like the way you think about it; supporting your feet during the day= being able to wear your fav heels at night!

    Alright girls, what about uggs?
    More importantly, what about the new trend of norts, leggings, and uggs?

    I know that a lot of girls bash them but, when its under 50 degrees and I’m freezing, I need them to keep warm on my mile walk to class. Sorry bout it. Uggs during the summer however are a different story, but I haven’t seen that in a while…
