All college girls typically shop at the same stores for every thing and every season. And as much as we LOVE a nice Urban Outfitters fuzzy coat, we can also branch out a little and start shopping at some not-so-popular but still v trendy stores - you would be surprised about how many hidden gems we can find at stores our moms shop at.

1. J. Crew

Ah, J. Crew, the store I personally always dreaded walking into when cruising around the mall with my mom. Looking a little more closely, however, the seemingly all-thing-preppy brand actually has great (and I mean really, really great) things for girls all ages. One of my personal fav things to shop for at J. Crew is shoooeeessss (of course). Shop their boots and booties (especially Chelsea rain boots ;) ) for your next shoe purchase.

2. Bershka

If you like shopping outside the United States, you have undoubtedly heard of one of my favorite stores of all time: Bershka. From the same father company as ZARA, Bershka has everything from workout wear to raincoats and every single thing is so cute and so affordable. Unfortunately, the only US store is located way too far from me - all the way in NYC. But, they ship to the US so start shopping! The sale already started :)

3. Anthropologie

For those boho pieces, we can't live without, Urban Outfitters and Free People aren't always the only ways to go. Anthro is actually from the same father company as our two favs and has pieces that I would even say have better all-around quality. I'll admit it isn't the most affordable, but shop their sale and you will for sure find something you'll want to splurge on. Channel your inner Serena van der Woodsen and shop their sweaters to be a fashionista this winter.

4. Cali Blue Clothing 

I just found this store and have been obsessing ever since. Their collections are so consistent with every new trend and I cannot get enough of it. Shop their latest trends and get 10% off your first order! It's seriously a win-win sitch in every way.

5. Aritzia

Really well-known to some and really not to others, Aritzia is another store full of gems you'll great not buying this winter (and every other season, too!). If you're a ZARA fan (like me hehe) then you'll love their minimalistic style. They are also having a sale right now so get shopping.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
