I wish I was known as "the pretty girl" but I'm known instead as "the smart girl." Is that a good thing?

Kristen:

YES! That's a great thing. My personal philosophy is brains and brawn over beauty. Which doesn't mean that I don't luh-v my hand-me-down Sevens—I just love getting seven out of seven on a pop quiz more. Point being, embrace your inner smart girl and let her shine. Trust me, the right guy will be impressed times ten.

Claire:

As for the rest of you--even if you're only getting away for a quick weekend trip to visit grandma this summer--remember, wherever you are, you can't go wrong with flirty, fun, and flattering!
