    Transitional Bags, from Summer to Fall

    Some fashion items don’t translate well into other seasons. A neon tote during dead winter may not seem appropriate or functional. Here are some good bags that can easily be translated from the heat of summer to cool drift into fall. The Bag Material: With the transition to fall comes more unpredictable weather. Many bags believe it or not aren’t liquid friendly. So cancel out any suede or minimally treated leather bags. Stick to heavily treated bags, synthetic bags, and treated canvas bags. Here are some great options. Expensive on the top, not expensive (but still chic) on the bottom. The Bag Style: Things to avoid (due to weather) include…

    The High Bun REPLACED With The HIGH PONY!

    How exciting. Buns are great and all but recently they have become more bagel like and it kind of seems bad for your posture. Yes, we will still rock the top knot/high bun but it’s time for a new normal to keep things a little fresh. That new normal would be the high pony! Sort of how the high bun was associated with old ladies, ballerinas and librarians the High Pony pulls references from the complete other direction, like cheerleaders, little girls and athletes. (tennis grunt) The high pony is for men and women (and everything in between) just like the man bun apocalypse, hair has no specific gender role.…

    Fashion Magazines: From The Bible to Collector’s Items by Teresa Brito

    Do you still save up all your pennies to collect every single issue of Vogue in a dark corner of your room? Well, that’s old school my friend! Let’s be honest – anyone who sees that pile will either think you’re crazy – all that money spent and dusting to do! – or that you must be really serious about fashion – you know, like someone who makes scrapbooks or prints or designs their own clothes and needs inspiration – vintage inspiration, at that. Nowadays, trends come and go as fast as trains and planes – if not faster – which means this week’s editorial on the ��it bag’ of…

    Can You Wear Vintage Fur and Still be Anti-Fur?

    The great debate that splits the fashion world in two. It is one of the only subjects in the fashion industry that separates people and causes such an uproar in a community otherwise known for being liberal, eccentric and accepting. All in all there is unfortunately no grey area in the Anti-fur and Fur communities. So fashion lovers either have to pick a side, or avoid the question in general. (a reinstated don’t ask don’t tell policy) Why people like fur: It is timeless and has never gone out or in style. Fur has consistently been a staple statement when referring to any glamour and luxury aesthetic. It is also…

    Wait Wuhhh? Random Questions Answered

    Pointless? Maybe. Is a rabbit a type of rodent? It’s like we treat them better than hamsters, but they sure aren’t dogs. So in our minds they can’t be rodents. Rabbits are actually something that is called lagomorphs. the lagomorphs species is closely related to rodents, but also horses! Wait Wuhhhh? Why do some people say “Osh Kosh b’ Gosh”? It’s something I feel older women would say to something cute. It’s basically a cutesy way to say “OH MY GOSH!”. Also it’s a city in Wisconsin. Wait Wuhhh? What are the little handles for corn on the cob called? I call them “little corn handle things” but they are actually Corn skewers. Wait…

    The Rise of The Old and Unphotoshopped Model

    Wrinkles? Disgusting. Cellulite? Barf worthy. Fat? UNFORGIVABLE. This kind of body hate/discrimination is known as a normality in the fashion world. It’s better to be dead than fat and old. The “live fast die young” motto is ever-present and accepted. Something that is ALSO a huge part of the fashion industry is going against the common grain and defying beauties norms. Is this something that is done for publicity? Or more something that needs to be addressed for the overall well-being of self-image. Photoshoots with top photographers and supermodels have been popping up in magazines and social media, with proud unaltered images! (GASP!) Most notably Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford pictured…
