PSA: 25 PERCENT OFF J.CREW UNTIL MAY 3
It recently (one minute ago) came to our attention that there's a 25 percent off sale at J.Crew in stores and, more importantly, online until May 3rd at midnight.
ON THE CALENDAR: CHAVEZ FOR CHARITY BRACELET SALE
Looking for something to do/consume over the weekend? The Chavez for Charity bracelet, sponsored by Alpha Phi sorority, is this Saturday, April 27th from noon to 2 p.m. at the Alpha Phi house, and while we hardly need shopping encouragement, 25 percent of the sale's proceeds go to charitable causes.
RAIN, RAIN, GO AWAY
It hasn’t been quite 40 days and 40 nights yet, so it looks as if we’re in for more rain. This storm’s silver lining? Loeffler Randall’s LR Rain Slip-Ons, $150 and available in black rubber or “mini lynx” print (lol), especially necessary for when you don’t feel like being every other Hunter Wellies-wearing girl on...
BIKER STYLE
I’m a biker. I don’t mean the chain-gang kind, though; I mean the kind cutting around campus like the coolest thing on wheels since the Oscar Meyer Mobile (I couldn’t think of a cooler thing on wheels). But it’s not always an easy time, especially given you’ve only got about four seconds to convey a...
ICON: GOLDIE HAWN IN “HOUSESITTER”
Housesitter, an early ‘90s movie starring Steve Martin, Goldie Hawn and hijinks galore, is a fantastic movie, in no small part due to Goldie Hawn’s wardrobe. She plays the original, original manic pixie girl, dancing down a path of lies to get wherever she wants to go, and so completely charming that it skews romantic...
SPRING TREND: PERIWINKLE LINER
The sharp, statement-making cat eyeliner of the ‘60s defined both the era and its eyes alike, and while the look still works today, there’s always the risk of being labeled the retro-obsessed rockabilly. Going periwinkle takes the cat eye to new heights, as well as providing a fresh take on the undying, ever-relevant colored-liner trend,...
AN UTTERLY UNSCIENTIFIC APPROACH TO SUNSCREEN
It would take some effort not to know that everyone should be wearing sunscreen–everyday, everywhere, religiously. Skin cancer and melanomas are nothing to be taken lightly, but how many of us actually take the time every morning to slap on some sunscreen? The sky’s usually paler than we are, and it’s not like the sun...
THE BEST LIT MIRRORS ON CAMPUS: A GUIDE
Winter quarter is always a rough time. Midterms every other hour, wind in your hair (and eyes and ears and ankles and places where wind generally should not be), people blasting music from headphones in the library in very clearly marked quiet areas—the list goes on. And when it feels as if nothing ever goes...
SMOOTH LIKE BUTTER
Do you ever feel lost, confused, like you’re trapped in an endless cycle? I know. Chapped lips are the worst. And given Evanston’s recent funny-awful cold spits, the likelihood you don’t have chapped lips is one in a million. Also one in a million is the possibility of finding a lip balm that long-term softens...
CHANNELING GRETA GARBO
Clara Bow may be the most well-known It girl of all time, but there was just something about Greta Garbo. Beautiful and elusive, she didn’t spend much time in the spotlight before retiring from the movie industry and living a life of obscurity. Despite this career choice, her style was anything but indistinctive with strong,...
CURLY HAIR AND THE PROFESSIONAL DEBATE
Boy Meets World’s Topanga Lawrence, The Princess Diaries’ Mia Thermopolis and Zero Dark Thirty’s Maya. What do these characters have in common? For one, they’re all smart, accomplished women. For another, they’ve all had to sacrifice their originally curly, wavy, dare I say bodacious hair in order to fit the standard for ‘serious women’ perpetuated...
HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE FOR YOURSELF
I’m pretty good at getting gifts for people. Look at their interests, look at their hobbies, find something that fits the theme and is useful to them, but that they wouldn’t necessarily have thought of. Voila, you’re the child who listens. I think it’s actually harder the other way around, when they ask what you...
