WHAT WE CAN LEARN FROM BEYONCE
Did you watch the Super Bowl? Me neither. But the half-time show? Absolutely. If the Super Bowl didn’t prove that Beyoncé runs the world, I don’t know what can. Besides feeling inadequate that our Sunday evening did not entail performing in front of thousands of fans, for one of the most televised events of the...
SHOULD WE GO THRIFT SHOPPIN’?
“Limited edition, let’s do some simple addition fifty dollars for a T-shirt – that’s some ignorant bitch shit…” curethriftshop.tumblr.com In the words of Macklemore in his song ‘Thrift Shop,’ now the number one song on iTunes, is spending $50.00 for an item “some ignorant bitch shit”? Most of my fashion-obsessed peers would have to strongly...
SONGZA: A NEW WAY TO LISTEN TO MUSIC
As much as I love Pandora, their improbable song matches – seriously, why are you giving me Trey Songz when all I want is to listen to Frank Ocean? – can get quite frustrating at times. Luckily I discovered Songza, a fun new music streaming website full of playlists that cater exactly to your taste...
LESSONS IN CONCERT STYLE
There really isn’t anything more exciting than seeing one of your favorite bands in concert. You’ve listened to them on repeat ever since their first EP was released, and now you’re finally seeing them: live! And what an amazing experience it is. But what is quite possibly the most incredible aspect of concert-going is seeing...
COACHELLA 2013
Quick, let me paint you a picture of one of the best weekends of my life. It was March 2010 and at the impressionable age of seventeen, nothing could have prepared me for the insanity that was my first (and I say with a heavy heart, only) time at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival....
EARMUFF HEADPHONES
If there’s one thing we Northwestern students love to complain about the most (besides the ridiculous amount of work and studying we have to do), it’s definitely the frigid temperatures we’re experiencing now. The treacherous walk from South Campus to Tech has become even more unwanted as the cold air envelops any portion of exposed...
MUSIC REVIEW: HOLIDAY EDITION
I think we can all agree that one of the best parts of the Christmas season is the music. Additionally, after the greater part of December, although we love the classics we can only take so much Nat King Cole and Gene Autry in a given day. The album Holidays Rule, with an October release...
PAINT THE TOWN RED IN STYLE
If Taylor Swift’s new (and might I add, unbelievable) album doesn’t say it all, this year’s winter runways have: red is the color of the moment. Forget dreary browns and grays this season; the object is to stand apart from our wintry surroundings, not to blend in. Bloggers such as Chiara Ferragni and retail websites...
JUSTIFIED: IMITATION IS FLATTERY
As soon as the cherub-faced YouTube sensation Justin Bieber debuted his first video, I was a little suspicious. Of course all teenage boy singers are modeled after the same image, but he was going after the greatest of them all.
SICK OF SOPHIA GRACE AND ROSIE
I’ll start by assuming you know who Sophia Grace and Rosie are (and if you don’t, watch the two tutu-clad, pint-sized “Super Bass” rappers in the above video). At first, I thought they were adorable. Those rosy cheeks, ballerina tutus, and regal tiaras were too cute to handle. Rosie’s dancing was simply precious and Sophia...
THE VOICE: STYLE ANALYSIS
The Voice is a refreshing change from the boring singing competition shows that are so popular on cable television. While I am a huge fan of the show itself, I have mixed feelings about certain style choices from the contestants and judges alike. With Christina, it’s a hit or miss. Sometimes she doesn’t look so...
STITCH REVIEWS: JAM SESH
I’m two episodes into NU’s premier music reality show, Jam Sesh, and I’m sufficiently hooked. The YouTube mini-series debuted on April 11, and with almost 1,600 views already, I’m a little late in hopping on the bandwagon. But regardless of timing, I’m glad I tuned in on this campus sensation.
