Must Have: Slouchy Pants

(Calvin Klein + ICB by Prabal Gurung + The Row)

The must have pant for Fall/Winter 2013 are looser and far more subdued than the patterned pants we've seen so much of lately. The new "it" cut is slightly narrow at the ankles and sit high on the waist. Cropped or full-length, these slouchy pants are comfy like your sweats but fit in a very flattering way. Why not trade in your skinnies/leggings and wear a pair of slouchy pants next time you head to the arena?

I understand that this look can be intimidating to some of you who are used to wearing skinnies and tailored pants. But if you want to be daring and change up your look, follow these tips to help pull off the slouchy pant trend:

Tip #1 Go for black. Black slouchy pants will be the most flattering and they will also go with anything - prints or solid colours.

Tip #2 Avoid the super low crotches. I mean, if you like this look and are able to pull it off, then by all means go for it, girl. But I would find it difficult to pull this look off considering I'm not that tall.

Tip #3 Pair your slouchy pants with heels. While you can wear super cute flats with slouchy pants - pairing them with either pumps or ankle booties with a heel will give you a longer, leaner silhouette.

Tip #4 Wear your slouchy pants with a no-fuss top, like a simple t-shirt, blouse, or knit. Add a medium sized bag or clutch to complete the look!

SHOP THE LOOK:

These two pants are my favourite. I mean, I did say once that I live in Wilfred and Talula clothing.

Navy is the New Black

(Dries Van Noten + Chloé + Céline)

If you were to look at my wardrobe, you would see a lot - and I mean a lot - of black and gray. I love wearing all black ensembles. Whether I'm going out for the night, running errands, or headed to the arena to watch my boy play; black is always my go-to.

But what am I currently loving for Fall/Winter 2013-2014? Navy blue. 

This hue is having a total fashion moment. Navy is the new black. Dark, intense, classic. It's Parisian-chic. Think of a navy blue piece (knit, pant, coat, skirt, or ankle booties) as your "need-piece" for this Fall and Winter. You can work navy into literally any ensemble and it's perfect for any occasion. Not to mention it looks good on every girl (and guy!). Wear this hue from head-to-toe or rock it as a heavy coat to stand out this Winter.

As seen at Dries Van Noten, Chloé, Céline, Prabal Gurung, Lanvin, Calvin Klein, Derek Lam, Hermès, Nina Ricci, and Paul & Joe.

Meeting the Team

The switch from being a junior hockey girlfriend to a college hockey girlfriend brings a whole new world of changes with it. One of them being new teammates. Sometimes your boyfriend will have previous teammates from juniors on his college team, who are usually around 23 years old playing in their sophomore or junior year. Now if you already know some of his teammates, then you're set. If not, then you have to impress the hell out of all of them. No girl wants to be the girlfriend that no one likes. They're always the ones who never get invited to anything.

Get to know your boyfriend's freshman teammates first. They're the ones your boyfriend will be spending the most time around, and they will be there with him for the next four years, so you're kinda "stuck" with them. Don't be shy. Joke around with them (because they will be joking around with you). Be nice. And you better not have a shitty personality.

The first time you meet some of his teammates will obviously be when you go to visit your boy and you meet his roomies. Usually when you meet all of his teammates it will be at some sort of team party. Throw on your VS Bombshell bra, a sheer silk black top/blouse or knit sweater, and pair it with some skinnies/leggings and ankle booties with a heel. Put on your fave perfume and now you're good to go.

Remember that Monday's team lift and practice will be filled with talk about you. For example:

Teammate 1: I'd fuck her

Teammate 2: Your broad's a fucking rocket. What is she doing with you?

Teammate 3: She looked really good the other night. Like really good

You'll probably get a text from your boyfriend after practice saying "So and so really likes you. So and so loves you. Oh and btw my whole team wants to fuck you." And if you don't receive a text like this, either your boyfriend doesn't tell you these things, or his teammates really didn't like you. Sucks to suck.

And what's with girls saying "If you want to impress his teammates then make your boyfriend a sandwich." A sandwich? His teammates don't give a f*ck if you make your boyfriend sandwiches or not. If you really, and I mean really want to impress his teammates - kiss your boyfriend in front of his teammates while he has a chew in. I know, I know. That is disgusting. I'm not talking about a full makeout sesh. I'm talking about just a little peck on the lips. Like a little celebratory kiss after a big beer pong OT win. Trust me, it works. His teammates will think that it's super cool that you "don't care" if your boyfriend chews, and they'll be super jealous. Trust. They will love you.

But if your boyfriend doesn't chew (which is obviously great), don't fret. Being amazing at beer pong, not being annoying, holding/controlling your alcohol, and looking great are all ways to impress your boyfriend's family for the next four years.

Ps. Don't be that girlfriend who adds/follows every guy on Facebook or twitter the day after a team party. Way too creepy.

I'm Back, Betches

Collegehockeygf is back, betches. You really didn't think I was gone for good, did you?

As most of you know, I deleted my anonymous twitter account, Instagram and blog at the beginning of October. I found that I was so busy always being at work that I didn't have the time to keep up with writing blog posts or tweeting. Also, it was getting a bit weird (creepy) with some people being so obsessed with figuring out who I am. I don't have anything against people knowing who I am, but it's out of respect for my boyfriend and his team/school that I would like to stay as anonymous as possible.

But I totally missed it all over the last few weeks. Who knew I would miss the anon world so much? I love having a place where I can relate to so many people who are all going through the same things and face the same problems as hockey girlfriends.

So collegehockeygf is back for good. I'm taking back my rightful throne (thanks @grlfrndwthsass). Move over unoriginal bitches.
