One more thing...

Every fashionista needs a little bit of social-butterfly in her. Take this quiz and find out whether you need some lesons, are just right, or should tone it down!
ARE YOU SOCIAL?
1. Your best friend and you plan to meet up at Friday's football game. You're there but she's...not. You:
a) Go home. You hate school spirit anyways.
b) See a friend of yours, say hi, viola! Problem solved.
c) You text. It appears like you're doing something.
d) You go up to someone new, introduce yourself, and get to talking. Next week you guys will be meeting up.

2. It's youth group time and your go-to friend is (surprise) not there. You:
a) plead with your parents to leave.
b) call someone on the phone. Hey, you're talking.
c) Chat with your youth group instructor. You've always wanted to know him better.
d) Meet someone different. She has a cute shirt on, you compliment it. now you know her whole group of friends.

3. Your parents force you to go to a dinner party but, as luck would have it, a very hot older guy arrives. He's been eyeing you all night but you're nervous. Finally he introduces himself to your family. You:
a) run away before he sees you.
b) look away, pick at your nails, then shake his hand when it's your turn.
c) introduce yourself warmly. Then chat with him when he talks to a friend of the family.
d) introduce yourself, break the ice, then exchange numbers/emails.

4. You're assigned partners for a project wtih an extremely intimidating girl you don't know that well. You want an A but don't want to talk to her. You:
a) beg the teacher to let you switch.
b) say "I'll do the project" and leave her alone
c) ask her to split the work then talk politely but superficially about the project.
d) get to talking, invite her to your party and vow to work on the project over the weekend

5. You're in detention...again. This time the regular teachers (who love you) aren't here to get you out of this. Oh boy! You:
a) run far away
b) suck it up and take the detention
c) tell the teachers there that you need to wait for the others
d) charm the other teachers into loving you and automatically get out of detention (by discussing Mrs. Roth's gorgeous cat brooch)

6. Your friend asks you to tell her friend (from a different school) that she won't be going to the Dane Cook show after all. She offers you the ticket. You:
a) *sigh* No, I don't know your friend. Sorry.
b) agree to go (you love Dane Cook) but bring something else along...like a cell phone to text all your jealous friends.
c) Go, chat about your mutual friend a bit, and overall have a fun night.
d) Get to know her, talk, end up becoming new BFFS!

THE END. Now total up your scores:
1. a:4, b: 2, c: 3, d: 1.
2. a:4, b:3, c:2, d:1.
3. a:4, b:3, c:2, d:1.

5. a:4, b:3, c:2, d:1.
6. a:4, b:3, c:2, d:1.

Answers:
o-6: Wowzers!
You're most likely my best friend now too. You take an interest in everyone and are easily loved. But that doesn't come without a price: that girl in your Art class was talking about you yesterday. You know, the girl you call 'BFF' and squeal everytime you see her. Watch out for the fakers. You can never tell the difference.

7-12: Social
You are successfully SOCIAL. You probably wouldn't go up to a stranger and say "hi" because they looked nice but you're never alone...in public, that is. Whatever your reasons for it you're always doing something. Just be careful. Make sure it's not all for the cameras.

13-18: text-a-holic
You are, well, social to a POINT. You make the least effort possible to be called polite. It's not that you're shy, you just really, really, REALLY don't care. You do care enough to look occupied though. You're probably on your phone or iPod right now. God. Live your life. *sigh* The phone doesn't count.

19-24: introverted
If you can come out of your shell one second to listen that'd be great. You are scared at every turn. Meeting a new person (even saying "sorry" to a stranger you hit by accident) starts a huge feeling of nervousness inside of you. Get out there sweetie! Not all people are as scary as you think.

How blue are YOU?

New Trend Alert: BLUE!
Bright blue has been seen everywhere from the red carpet to a store near you. The Golden Globes brought plenty of examples. House's Jennifer Morrison rocked this sapphire dress:

Anne Hathaway, most recently out in Rachel Getting Married, tried a different blue hue: a deep navy Armani Prive sequin and chiffon gown, pictured below.

For our last style star of the night, we have Blake Lively at the Golden Globes. Her dress had many flaws: a little too tight (much too tight, in fact), a slit that we could have done without, and a slight cleavage problem. But we love Blake and her choice of a beautiful blue! So as our last celebrity of the night, here is Blake Lively in Nina Ricci.

Last but not least is a way for you to wear this brilliant blue. My all-time favorite is this completely wearable and yet totally flattering Grecian draped dress from Forever 21. At only $13.99, it's so chic and so cheap! It would look good on any body type and is a wonderful blue.

Good night and good luck ... with your fashion finds
