It’s not an understatement to say that I may have an adult version of separation anxiety. I hate leaving the places I love. Stepping out of my comfort zone is a daily struggle — in the seven or eight years I’ve been going to Starbucks, I have never once gotten anything other than a chai...
When I first bought my white iPhone 4, I was entranced by its beauty – the sleek metal casing, the gleaming Apple logo and the overall immaculate design which anyone with an iPhone can attest to. Of course, I had no intention of buying some ugly, bulky case for it (have you seen those OtterBoxes?). I...
Dolce & Gabbana has recently been a fiery topic of discussion on the web, but not initially for the right reasons. Earlier this month, thousands of people stood outside the company’s flagship store in Hong Kong to protest their policy forbidding passersby from taking photos. One of the issues with the policy was that it...
Somewhere over the rainbow, becoming a star is easy. Smash, NBC’s new show about the makings of a Broadway musical entitled Marilyn (Monroe, not Manson), certainly makes that point, cutting off a wide-eyed Katherine McPhee halfway through her opening number in lieu of a phone call. She has just enough spunk to up her status from a two-note...
Ombré is officially having a moment. From runways to hallways, this fad is truly taking over the style scene. Ombré is a color effect that involves complementary colors that eventually fade into one look. It’s perfect for indecisive people like myself because it incorporates a range of colors into a cohesive appearance. Daring...
We’ve all seen her. The girl walking up Sheridan Road in a skirt and boots, dodging icy patches while her skin slowly turns blue. If there’s wind, and these days that’s hardly an “if” situation, she’s a Marilyn Monroe moment waiting to happen. It doesn’t have to be that way. I’m a huge proponent of...
Following Tiny Dog Cupcake’s recent closure, I can imagine I was not the only Northwestern student left wondering where to get a delicious dessert on the cheap in Evanston. So, struck with saccharine cravings (and for the sake of journalism of course), I spent my weekend wandering the city and indulging in far too many...
Geek chic has taken over contemporary college student fashion in a way that is unavoidable. Especially on Northwestern’s campus, there is no shortage of perfectly pressed skinny jeans tucked into artfully tied combat boots, graphic tees printed with ironic slogans worn carelessly under a slightly rumbled blazer, and sweet silhouettes of vintage printed frocks. However,...
During the cold days of winter, there’s nothing better (or necessary) than a perfect pair of jeans. Northwestern favorite Madewell knows that more than anyone, which is why they’re paying homage to this wardrobe staple by hosting a fabulous after-hours event dedicated to denim. Stop by their Old Orchard store on February 2nd from 6-8pm...

They say fashion never dies, and beauty is the same: it is a constant cycle of renewal. So when someone shows up on the scene who takes a look, reinvents it a little and makes it her own, she is remembered. I can’t think of a woman more widely respected in this regard than Audrey...
