The Perfect Fall Outfit

The Perfect Fall Outfit

Comments 0 Comment

I’m not a big fan of fall, mainly because the transition from extreme heat to bone-shakingly cold weather comes as a bit of a shock to me. I can never find a happy medium in my clothing that keeps me warm enough to face the blustery autumn days, while at the same time cool enough to face random heat waves. Join me in the journey to find the perfect fall outfit. I typically wear what I’m most excited about—which means what I recently bought. Though I bought the following piece of clothing…

I have been anxiously waiting to write this blog post for a long time now, which is ironic coming from the girl who gets scared when someone sneezes unexpectedly. Nonetheless, I love Halloween, especially preparing and showing off my costume (I don’t so much love that the holiday gives people the excuse to scare me nonstop, though). I spent all of October Break searching for the perfect costume, and I must say that the experience has been an interesting one. Hopefully my thought…

Here are some of my favorite style must-haves that are exploding throughout the world of fashion…and my closet. Ribbon Hair Ties: Finally a way to make a ponytail fashionable! These ties are hair-friendly, leaving no creases or tightness. There are so many patterns and bright colors available that the choices for ribbon hair ties are endless. From Amazon, I bought twenty hair ties in various colors for less then $10 (anywhere else, only five hair ties costs about $12). You can also make ribbon hair ties yourself, but…

Princess in Waiting: Kate Middleton’s Style

Perfect hair, perfect makeup, perfect clothes—and have I mentioned that she’s also a princess? Kate Middleton has got it all, which justifies why I’ve been mimicking her fashion style this past week. I love trying out new looks each week by imitating my favorite celebrities, and this week I chose Kate Middleton. I like her style so much that I’m considering sporting it for another week (tough decisions). Here’s how I’ve been mimicking Kate’s style this past week: Makeup. Kate is committed to the silver-hued…

Fashion for the Heat

Fashion for the Heat

One of the things I miss most about home is my air conditioner. Last week’s heat wave caused me to change clothes incessantly throughout the day, not to mention that the humidity does not make for a good hair day. I was so tired of the humidity that I’m now immensely appreciating the sweater weather. I no longer just want a slight breeze outside; I want the snow. Since my two fans were clearly insufficient for dealing with the heat, I decided to lay out the…

“My life, old sport, my life…my life has got to be like this…It’s got to keep going up.” ~Jay Gatsby I don’t know about you all, but I literally had to watch The Great Gatsby twice, mainly because the first time I watched it, my eyes were glued only to the costume designs. The 1920’s were a revolutionary decade for fashion. After the war, women weren’t afraid to indulge in riskier and more provocative (at the time) clothing to symbolize their path towards…

Can we just take a moment to appreciate the fact that we are finally back at Vassar? I mean seriously—did we have to have three whole months of vacation? At any other school, I’d be like, “keep adding more vacation time!” But at Vassar, I say please limit it. Let’s just disregard the lame reality that I spent most of my summer counting the days left of vacation, or endlessly ranting my sad sob story of how I want to go back to school…

I have a theory that all of my professors got together and planned to make all their papers and finals due at the same time. I don’t know about you all, but I major in procrastination with a minor in b.s.-ing—I have had this motto since high school. As soon as I came to college, though, I realized that everyone is a lot smarter than I am, and that they actually leap into the library daily in order to ace their classes. To follow…

F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Fashion

One of my lifelong dreams has always been to find five friends and drink coffee at a cafe in New York City multiple times per day. Let me rephrase that—one of my lifelong dreams has always been to find five F.R.I.E.N.D.S and drink coffee at a cafe in New York City known as Central Perk multiple times per day. Personally, F.R.I.E.N.D.S. is the best TV show ever created, and no, I am not just saying that to suck up to Vassar alums (Lisa Kudrow, this post is…
