15 Carrie Bradshaw Quotes That Speak To Your Fashionista Soul

My entire life I have loved fashion. I've never had a friend that has been there for me more than my dresses, shoes, hats, scarves, skirts and accessories. There is nothing like retreating into a closet and letting the arms of couture and clothes encompass you and inhaling a little of that trendsetting smoke. When all else fails, fashion picks me up, dusts me off, and makes me look really fabulous while doing it.

(Although, I'll admit I haven't always been the best friend to them--leaving my laundry crumpled in the basket for days, possibly weeks, and scattering my shoes from here to Timbuktu. But, I mean, college life, amiright?)

Lately I have been realizing more than ever, how much time and money I spend on fashion, and how much time and money I would still have if it weren't for fashion. Then I realized: some people save their money, and some people have a fabulous closet. You just can't have both. Although sometimes I could probably spend my funds and minutes more wisely, I have never regretted a single purchase. Whoever said money can't buy happiness hasn't seen me after receiving my delivery from JustFab. After all, life is short and good shoes take you good places.

So, what better to encourage my fashionista soul than indulging in a Sex in the City marathon and listening to advice from the first true fashion icon and pioneer: Carrie Bradshaw.

Here is a list of 15 trendy truths from Ms. Bradshaw that have helped me through my financial fashion hardships and will truly speak to your fashionista soul.

1."I like my money right where I can see it: hanging in my closet."

2. "When I first moved to New York and I was totally broke, sometimes I would buy Vogue instead of dinner. I felt it fed me more."

3. "A wise woman skips the stock market and invests in her closet!"

4. "Women come to New York for the two L's: labels & love."

5. "Shopping is my cardio."

6. "Hi, I'm not here right now, but my shoes are so leave them a message!"

7. "I will never be the woman with the perfect hair who can wear white and not spill on it."

8. "I'm not afraid of heights. Have you seen my shoes?"

9. "I have this little substance abuse problem...expensive footwear."

10. "Men I may not know, but shoes I know."

11. "When one door closes, another shoe box opens!"

12. "When I want a ridiculously extravagant pair of shoes, I find a way to buy them."

13. "Here lies Carrie. She had two loves and lots of shoes."

15. I've spent $40,000 on shoes and have no place to live? I will literally be the the old woman who lived in her shoes!"

14. "The fact is, sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes. That's why we need really special ones now and then - to make the walk a little more fun."

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
