Baggin’ Out: Volcom According to You Bag
Not only do I currently work in an office (okay, it’s an Athletic’s office, but still!), but I’m also working in a few psychology labs this year for course credit. That means potentially dealing with participants and clients, so I need to dress business-casual at all times. I have a few bigger, business-y bags, but not many. So I set out for a business-casual purse that I could bring to a lab and stuff silly with all my textbooks. Behold, the Volcom According to You bag!
From CollegeFashion: Make a Fashion Vision Board!
This time of year is when I do my annual style revamp – it’s where I ask myself if my current style is working, and think about what I can do to improve it. This year, however, I’ve decided to try something new to aid in my revamp- creating a fashion vision board.

Campus Couture: Brittany, Northwestern
It’s warming up at Northwestern, finally! Everywhere I go I see girls trying to figure out how to dress for the finicky weather; some in tiny shorts and flip flops, some in suede boots and dresses with tights, and everything in between. And then I saw Brittany, the perfect example of how to dress for warmish weather and still look absolutely adorable.
Campus Couture: Scaachi, Ryerson University
For someone who adores UFC, Scaachi definitely does not dress the part (though if you bought her a “Tap out” t-shirt she’d probably love you forever). The first time I was formally introduced to Scaachi, she was dressed like Jackie O. (it was Halloween), but since then I’ve always admired her feminine style.
Bad Advice Women Get: Know Your Fashion Sex
As I was browsing Jezebel yesterday, I came across this post, which links to a weird article in Britain’s Sunday Times called “What is your fashion sex?” Intrigued, I clicked on the link and was immediately transported to a strange world where phrases like “aggro frog move” and “bodycon dresses” apparently mean something.
Campus Couture: Ashley from Lakehead
I’ve known Ashley since she introduced herself to me in grade 10 science class. She was always bold, not only in personality, but also in style. Ashley plays by her own rules and has one of the most unique senses of fashion I have ever seen.
Campus Couture: Renee, Northwestern
I work with Renee and whenever we work together, I always catch myself stealing glances at her fantastic outfits. I love how Renee makes fashion look so easy, like she didn’t even try but somehow always looks totally chic and put together.

Campus Couture: Kayla, Lakehead
I actually met Kayla when we were about 8 years old in ballet class. We became fast friends and continued to be so through high school and now university. Kayla and I also happen to work together on campus, share an office and work side-by-side for 35 hours every week in the summer months. We see A LOT of each other, which is great, because I love her. It also means I am constantly a witness of her wicked style.
The End of The LBD?
If you’re like the majority of women, you’ve had it drilled into your head that the “little black dress” is the answer to all your wardrobe issues. It’s listed in every “must-have” wardrobe list because it “looks soooo great on everyone!” But experts now say that in actuality, only 1 in 5 women look good in black.
Candy Dish: Wedding Bells for Paris Hilton?
• Paris Hilton is ready to settle down.
• Why nice guys suck.
• Miley’s boyf is HOT.
• How to hone your personal style.
• Rihanna gets up close and personal with her new man.
• Angie’s got nothing on Sandra Bullock.
Campus Couture: Peppy Peggy
It doesn’t matter if it’s rain or shine; Peggy always knows how to dress so she’ll stand out in a crowd and make any girl on campus want to emulate her. She has the cutest blazers for fall, the chic-est coats for winter, and the flirtiest dresses for spring. Her outfits are always full of personality – usually very colorful and bright, just like her!
Campus Couture: Keepin’-It-Comfy Meagan
I’ve known Meagan since elementary school, and she’s always been one of the happiest people I know (she’s a cheerleader so she has to be, I guess). Her clothing choices are always full of color and spunk, and she is the definition of cute: a tiny body with a big personality that shines through her outfits.
Campus Couture: Sweet and Simple Sarah
Even though she isn’t in college anymore, Sarah still exudes the typical college girl enthusiasm for new clothes and the word “sale.” When I approached her to take a picture of her look, she agreed… but only if I took a picture of the back of her skirt. She wanted to show off the best parts of her look: the pretty metallic details and ruffles next to the rich color of her scarf.
Campus Couture: Treehugging Chloe
Meet Chloe. Whenever I see her on campus, she always has the cutest outfits on that make you think of picnicking in green meadows and somersaulting across the grassy field. Her style is always really fresh with girly touches like headbands and hair pins, and plenty of gold-toned jewelry to go with. And no one has ever seen her without a cloth bag. Ever.
