Potty humor is so déclassé. But it’s still kinda funny, right?

Wedge sandals are a great way to step into style. They add height (I’m talking to you, Snookie), elongate legs, and they look preppy and polished with skinny cropped jeans.

Pick your favorite wedgie from these great finds under $50.

OK, so I haven’t been a teen for longer than I care to remember.  Is it so wrong that I’m actually enjoying the Teen Choice Awards?  Then again, Betty White made an appearance so I’m at least in good company.

As for fashion, I’m happy to see that most of the young stars are just saying no to skank and YES to style.  So in honor of Leighton Meester, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Lea Michele and Ashley Greene, here are some flirty and fashionable mini dresses that are suitable for grown ups.

I’ve been on a quest for the perfect OTK boot for what seems like an eternity, and it’s a search that has left me feeling a bit like Goldilocks. They’re either too flat or too high, the heel too skinny or too clunky; never quite the right fit.

These amazing boots by Frye seem to be just right. Plus, they’re reminiscent of a butt-kicking, broken in pair or rodeo boots. Just call me an Urban Cowgirl. Giddy up.

I adore this flirty and feminine answer to summer’s sweltering temperatures. If you’re thinking a long sleeve shirt is a no-no during the warmer months, consider this: the sleeves provide sun protection. The trick is to find a lightweight, loose fitting fabric that will allow your skin breathe without leaving you feeling sticky and sweat stained.

Face it, ladies. Nothing makes your legs look longer or your silhouette more streamlined than the perfect neutral heel. Whether you’re pretty and pale or drop-dead dark, I’ve got the perfect hue for you.

Here are my picks for the best nudes under $100.

And I thought goth went out my senior year of high school when I paired thigh-high black fishnets with spooky vintage little girl dresses. Gwen Stefani’s L.A.M.B. Fall 2010 collection is just as bad ass but thankfully sophisticated enough for grown ups. Bring on the scarlet lips and kohl eyeliner – it’s time to rock a more dramatic look this Fall.

Here are a few picks that echo Gwen’s vibe without breaking the bank.

The zippers, the acid wash, the muffin top – oy. No thanks. Thank heaven for jeggings – they offer the sleekness of painted-on jeans with the comfort of leggings, plus the added bonus of flattening your tummy. Here are 5 of the best under $50.

I almost didn’t recognize her in such casual attire. Is it just me or does she typically look like a blonde S&M version of Betty Boop? Here’s where you can get Xtina’s look for less.
