As a loyal fan of Gilmore Girls, I was overjoyed when I found out that the series would be streaming on Netflix - all seven seasons! Gilmore Girls follows the lives of witty and coffee obsessed Lorelai Gilmore raising her daughter Rory in the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. With great story lines and constant banter, the show is a must watch! Since Netflix has added the series for streaming, I've chosen a few of my favorite must watch episodes! If you haven't watched the show, I definitely recommend grabbing a bag of popcorn and binge-watching the entire series!

Last week’s season finale of Made In Chelsea NYC was intense to say the least. With relationships ending and new ones forming, and just lots and lots of drama, the show is definitely a great source for entertainment. Although the spin-off series of Made In Chelsea has just ended, no need to be sad. By the looks of it, season 8 is approaching and is expected to return fairly soon.

For those who are unfamiliar with the show, the reality television series, Made In Chelsea follows the lives of a group of 20-somethings throwing lavish parties in some of the London’s most exclusive hotspots and traveling on holiday around the world. The show is a MUST to watch so if you haven’t seen it yet, you can catch up on all seven seasons, including the spin-off season in NYC online before it comes back in October!

Read on for the five reasons why you should watch Made In Chelsea.

Amazing Soundtrack
From the series’ theme song “Midnight City” by M83 to songs by artists such as Lorde, The 1975, HAIM, as well as newcomer, Banks - the show has the best soundtrack on TV. The series features a mix of well-known and up-and-coming artists. In addition, the music is perfectly placed to convey the appropriate emotions.

Impeccable Style
It’s no surprise that the cast members have impeccable style wearing the most expensive designers such as Prada, Valentino, Saint Laurent, and more. They shop at the best luxury stores including Harrods, London’s most famous department store. It’s even more refreshing that the male cast members are just as trendy and daring with fashion as the ladies. A few members even have their own fashion blogs.

Comparable to The Hills
If you’re a fan of The Hills – this is the show for you! It has just as much if not more drama. Not to mention, Stephanie Pratt has made several appearances in season 6 as well as the spin-off in New York City. It also looks like she will be appearing in the latest season since she has something brewing with Stevie, one of the main cast members.

The Friendships
Although there has been suspicion that the show is fake, there’s no doubt that the friendships are real - from the bromance between Stevie and Andy to the sisterly and brotherly relationship Lucy and Stevie have. Fans know that Lucy will always have Stevie’s back. Although the cast may get into rifts with one another, there’s no denying that they will make up in the end - just like longtime friends Cheska and Binky did.

The Cast
You have Lucy Watson who is blunt, opinionated, and let’s not forget her one liners, especially her most famous from season 4, “Why is everybody getting up in my grill?” Then there’s ladies man Spencer Matthews (who repeatedly cheated on his former girlfriend Louise); and the life of the party, Jamie Laing who just likes to have a good time; Proudlock who is really edgy but wise - all of them are really different but complement each other well. Whenever they’re all together, it makes for great entertainment!

Drawing in more viewers each season, the buzz surrounding Made In Chelsea is evident. If you want a show with lots of drama, romance, and more drama MIC is the show for you! Catch up on the last seven seasons including the spin-off series before the new season premieres in October! I promise you, you will be addicted!

Take one listen to "We Are Infinite" by Starling Glow, and you'll be hooked. Citing both EDM and rock influences, Starling Glow's new single "We Are Infinite" has already made it into the Billboard Top 20 Dance Club debut singles. We caught up with Liz Hill, the lead for Starling Glow, with a few questions about her music, style, and life.

Tell us about your single “We Are Infinite”!

I think "We Are Infinite" is the kind of song you can crank in the car with your friends when you're heading out for an adventure, or can play while just chilling in your room when you need a reminder that life is awesome. The lyrics are about making the most of the moment, and  not being afraid to shine. I hope listeners feel alive when they hear it.

We also love your style! How would you describe your look?

Why thank you!  I definitely would have never won an award for my fashion sense in high school, haha. Once I stopped caring about following trends and just started wearing things that I loved, I felt like my style came together.  I'm obsessed with the southwest, so I'm always wearing feathers, fringe, turquoise, tooled leather, etc.  I love thrifting, especially for pieces that are vintage and or lace. There's also a rock-n-roll side of me... If it's black and studded and in my size, it's coming home with me.

What are three things you can’t live without?

My horse (and horses in general), makeup (I love getting dolled up), and food (I know this is a given, but man I really really love food... Indian food, cupcakes, Mexican food, cupcakes, Italian food, cupcakes, all of it!)


Who is your role model and why?

Dolly Parton hands down. She's a legend, has written so many iconic songs, she owns who she is and doesn't seem to care what anybody else has to say... And she has her own theme park, I mean, come on! P!nk, Kelly Clarkson, and Gwen Stefani are all pretty high up on that list too!

What is one thing your fans don’t know about you?

I'm a huge nerd. Like, competed in the Science Olympiad and proud of it nerd.  I'm always curious about EVERYTHING, so if you catch me staring at my phone, there's a good chance I'm looking up random facts about plate tectonics or how pasteurization works or methods of animal communication.

"Pretty Little Liars" came back for one night only to premiere their Season 4 Halloween episode, and the spooktacular event was better than ever! PLL’s Halloween episode was quite the fright fest with the liars finding themselves in new and dangerous situations. From Hannah’s shenanigans to Ezra’s secrets to the scary town of Ravenswood, the episode definitely kept us on our toes the entire time. We don’t want to give away too many secrets, so read on for five reasons why College Gloss loves "Pretty Little Liars." But, beware that this recap may contain some twisted and spooky spoilers.

Quirky. Weird. Awkward. Three traits once considered undesirable, until a blue-eyed brunette with bangs made America fall in love with her. During the course of falling in love, America fell in love with everything once considered abnormal. Zooey Deschanel’s peculiar and odd nature set her apart from other Hollywood starlets because she wasn’t the glam girl, the popular girl, the girl next door…she was just Zooey, the dorky girl from California. Which is why College Gloss loves Deschanel.

We can’t stop, and we won’t stop obsessing over Miley Cyrus. Cyrus has transformed from young Miley Stewart on Disney’s "Hannah Montana" to edgy Bangerz artist. She may have originated as a Disney Channel star, but this 20-year-old triple threat is quickly making a new name for herself as America’s hottest pop sensation. Read on for five reasons why College Gloss loves Miley Cyrus.

1. She’s isn’t afraid to be herself
Miley Cyrus is breaking out of her shell and making quite the statement while doing it. Cyrus has played many different roles and tried out various styles, but she is finally showing fans who she truly is. She is quickly moving away from the image that the media has created for her; and, instead, she is shaping that image.

2. She’s a fashion icon
Miley Cyrus has an eye for fashion. Not only has she been experimenting with her wild side lately, but she has been starting plenty of trends while doing it. In a recent interview with Hunger TV, Miley opened up about her personal style: “There’s definitely something amazing about being so lady like yet being so punk,” the 20-year old said.

From her ever-changing hairstyles to her courageousness in making fashion statements, she sure does know how to catch everyone’s attention. Cyrus is showing the world that taking fashion risks is one way to make people talk.

3. Her vocals are remarkable
Cyrus can sing her heart out and has shown the world that she is indeed a force to be reckoned with. The release of “We Can’t Stop,” the first single from Miley’s hit new album Bangerz, was an instant sensation selling over 200,000 copies in the first week, with the music video breaking the VEVO record for most views in 24 hours. As if that wasn’t enough for the pop queen, her next single, “Wrecking Ball,” topped the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 1.

Cyrus’ vocals have quickly helped her become a pop icon with people everywhere talking. Not only the fans can’t get enough of the pop queen’s new album, but celeb’s also have taken note. Ed Sheeran recently complimented Cyrus in an interview with “The Mirror,” saying, “I think she’s got an amazing voice.”

4. She is today’s hottest “It Girl"
Cyrus’ ambition, fearlessness and extreme confidence have made her a hot topic. Her controversial VMA performance started as 20 seconds of fame and turned into months of people talking. By shocking the world with a performance that nobody was expecting, Cyrus successfully made the transformation from tween celebrity to adult sensation. The provocative routine got the world's attention, allowing Cyrus to take her career in the direction she wanted. Her drive for success and determination will continue to keep people talking, as Cyrus’ career only continues to blossom.

5. She’s comfortable in her own skin
Miley Cyrus is not afraid to be different, and the confidence she exhibits, along with her ability to just be herself, has allowed for the transition of the year. She may beat to her own drum, but believing in herself makes anything possible. “I want to be really clear and determined with everything I’m doing in my life right now, and I have been. I keep saying I’m the happiest I’ve ever been and that’s not even a dig,” Cyrus said when she opened up to Ellen DeGeneres in an interview. “I really am genuinely happy finally with myself.”

Miley Cyrus is a star to watch. With her impressive vocals, keen fashion sense and infinite courage, Cyrus has endless career opportunities awaiting her.

When preparing for a themed movie party, many people will wear costumes or do their hair catered to their favorite character in order to show spirit and enthusiasm, but what about makeup? If you’re not sure where to begin, College Gloss has you covered with some beauty ideas for movies past and present.


Holly from "Breakfast at Tiffany’s" (1961)
In order to portray a makeup look worthy of elegant Audrey Hepburn status, go for a classic look such as a smokey eye. You can read “How to Create a Natural-Looking Smokey Eye” about how to master a natural smokey eye, or go all-out with a darker evening look using deeper shadows.


Cher from "Clueless" (1995)
A wealthy beauty queen and shopaholic, Miss Cher Horowitz settles for nothing less than glamorous. When it comes to her makeup, nothing is off limits because Cher loves experimenting with new looks for both her makeup and fashion routines. Basically any look can work to portray Cher, from bold and colorful shadow to classic red lips. Be creative because her options are limitless.





Katniss from "The Hunger Games" and "Catching Fire" (2012, 2013)
Due to Katniss’s financial situation and limited amount of free time, she hadn’t been exposed to makeup until it was time for her to be presented as tribute for her district. Known as the “Girl on Fire,” you better believe that her makeup needs to match her unforgettable name. To portray this side of Katniss, go for a bold and colorful multi-dimensional look with lots of blending. To represent Katniss’s journey during the Hunger Games, experiment with earthy shadows such as brown and olive green, while keeping the rest of the look simple.


Aimee from "The Spectacular Now" (2013)
This summer coming-of-age film is about two seniors who become unlikely friends in the midst of some difficult trials. Because Aimee has a very shy and reserved personality, her makeup reflects that part of her accordingly. If you’re trying to mirror Aimee’s look, think back to the basics, such as black mascara, tinted moisturizer and a swipe of lip balm.

Whichever character you choose, you’ll surely look bold and beautiful if you follow our makeup suggestions.

Ariana Grande, singer, actress and philanthropist, has achieved so much in her entertainment career, and she is easily going to be one of the summer’s hottest stars with her new hit single, “The Way,” featuring Mac Miller, which became an instant sensation after its release in March.

The soon-to-be 20-year-old is admired both for her willingness to keep pushing to better herself and make all of her dreams a reality, as well as for remaining level-headed and down to earth while working on several projects in the music and TV industries.

Read on for five reasons why College Gloss loves Ariana Grande.


1. She’s a class act
Ariana Grande is a natural-born entertainer who has been performing onstage since she was a kid. Grande is also a multi-dimensional performer, making appearances on TV and Broadway. In 2008, she won a National Youth Theatre Association Award for her role as Charlotte in the Broadway production of "13." Also, she played the clever and funny Cat Valentine on "Victorious," a popular tween show on Nickelodeon. Along with these roles, Grande has voiced an animated character for another Nickelodeon series, "Winx Club." Grande has gained popularity among tween girls, and she is an honest, positive role model for young women, often pushing her fans to believe in themselves and their dreams. She has said, “Never give up on something you love.”

2. Her singing career is strong
Grande’s singing career is strong in two respects, both in where it is headed (success!) and the fact that she is honest with her words. When she sings, it is almost as if she reading excerpts from a diary. She has said that her new album, Daydreamin’, is like sharing her thoughts and feelings with her fans: “They can expect a lot of honesty. It’s like it used to be pages from my diary, instead of keeping diary, I would write songs about what was happening in my life. So it’s really personal. It’s a Motown throwback and pop at the same time, so it’s ’50s and ’60s inspiration mixed with today.”

3. She’s an anti-bullying advocate
Grande has a positive, glass half-full personality, and it is almost hard to think that she has been a victim of bullying herself. She has spoken out against bullying, stating in a blog post for the Huffington Post that “people tend to think that because I’m a performer and I don’t go to a regular high school, that I haven’t personally been affected by bullies. But it’s actually quite the contrary... One of the most terrible feelings in the world is knowing that someone else doesn’t like you. Especially when you don’t know what you’ve done to deserve it. You start to believe that you are the problem and that you need to change something about yourself to be liked, but I’ve come to learn that it’s really not our problem, it’s theirs.” Recently, Grande teamed up with pop singer Mika to sing out against bullying and the so-called “popular crowd” with the new single, “Popular Song.” Ariana Grande is an amazing role model for not only her fans but also for young women because she is an example of someone who has taken a stand against bullying and champions the idea that we need to value who we are: “Be happy with being you. Love your flaws. Own your quirks. And know that you are just as perfect as anyone else, exactly as you are.”

4. She’s extremely personable
Along with the lyrics to her songs, Grande relates to her audience because she is genuine, especially when it comes to her appreciation of her fans. Besides her song lyrics and acting skills, Grande is so personable because she shares her life with her fans -- but with a taste of professionalism. With her social media accounts on Twitter and Instagram, her fans can get a glimpse into her hard work and daily life, and fans can also see that she can be goofy and quirky.

5. Grande gives back
Though her schedule can be hectic and busy, it is admirable to know that Grande still finds time to be philanthropic. Some of her past charity work includes co-founding Kids Who Care, a youth choir that performs at fundraisers. Also, she was a member of Broadway in South Africa, where she had the opportunity to give singing lessons and dance tutorials.

With the release of her new album, Daydreamin’, which was inspired by artists like Mariah Carey and Katy Perry, as well as her upcoming spinoff from "Victorious" called "Sam & Kat" (co-starring with Jennette McCurdy), Grande has so much opportunity and success awaiting her. Grande has expressed that, “I don’t regret any of the decisions I’ve made, because of every choice I’ve made I’ve learned something new.” College Gloss is excited for what’s to come next from this heartwarming teen sensation, whether it be her acting career, singing career or hearing about all of the positivity she radiates in the media.

Elsa Pataky’s (pictured above) power came more from the emotional, rather than physical, challenges her character had to endure. Her character, Elena Neves, is in love with Dom Toretto (Diesel). With the reappearance of Letty (Rodriguez), who was Dom’s former love, she must determine what is the right thing to do -- fight for Dom, or let him go.

“Elena would rather Dom stay with her,” Pataky said. “But as long as there is any possibility Letty is alive, Elena knows that she has to be brave and let Dom figure it out.”

In addition to Rodriguez, Pataky, Gadot and newcomer Carano, moviegoers will see fan favorites Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang and Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, joined by another badass series newcomer, Luke Evans.
