Ah, April. Aside from being known as dreaded tax season (thank God that's over!), it's also a time of unexpected in-between weather that seemingly can't decide between leftover winter cold and premature heat waves. And then we have the April showers, of course. So instead of attempting to predict the unpredictable (my Macbook weather widget is almost as useless as Karen from "Mean Girls" when it comes to accurate forecasts) and either lugging a heavy coat around or risking freezing to death by bringing no jacket all, opt for a happy medium by rocking a spring trench! Think cropped versions, fresh prints, or lightweight linen -- styles that still allow you to embrace the season at hand, but still provide practical coverage and warmth for when you need it! Take a look at the slideshow for my 10 favorite spring-friendly trench coats!

After earning her degree, Post Grad protagonist Ryden Malby (played by Alexis Bledel) is bugging out on account of the economy's grim job market. It's a rocky boat to find yourself on, but don't let the hiring regrets get you down. It's easy to sit back and mope, but times like these require young adults like us to jump into the trenches and to keep putting our best food forward. Persistence is key, and no matter how many interviews you sweat through until you land what you need to launch your career, your efforts count. One of the best foot-in-the-door techniques for an interview is to dress like you own the place. Impressing the recruitment director with class that even shows up the CEO will certainly get you noticed as someone who's ready to suit up to be a member of the team. A wardrobe of suits, vests and blazers, however, doesn't need to look as bland as your father's closet: take a peek at our slideshow for a stylish way to blow your interviewer away! Keep your heads up, all you college grads -- the economy can't stay like this forever!
