Name: Amber Callan

College: Wiess '15

Major: Biochemistry/Cell Biology & Psychology

Style Inspiration: As a military brat, I've lived fifteen places including Germany and England. My travels and the friends I've made along the way help inspire me in life and in fashion.

Where's your favorite place to shop?: Black Milk Clothing! JL and his company are so inspirational creating a brand and a community out of nothing. Plus they help me put everything including galaxies, paintings and fruit on my legs.

What's your favorite clothing item: My Pulp Sesame swimsuit. It's a parody on the classic Jules and Vincent pose from Pulp Fiction using Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street. It's funny, simple and the fact that it's super flattering helps too..

#1 Fashion Do: Do try new things! Wearing a new trend or trying out an odd print is a part of style discovery. Besides, fashion should be fun.

#1 Fashion Don't: Don't let anyone define what you wear. Fashion is all about personal choices and showing who you are with your style. As long as you love it, the opinions of others shouldn't matter!



Leggings: Black Milk Clothing | Shirt and Hat: Forever 21 | Necklace:H&M| Vest: Primark
Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell | Ring: Vintage (passed down in my family)

Louis Vuitton Logos Are Obnoxious But So Are Their Haters

By
My first op-ed here was about luxury brands and fast fashion. I didn't know it at the time, but the term I needed, and what I was really advocating for, was slow fashion - good, conscientious fashion, which also happens to be generally pricer.  One of my best friends, Linh, sent me a Washington Post article about Louis Vuitton and Gucci falling behind in sales, sinking into trouble because their extremely well known logos are stamped everywhere for everyone to see. Literally, the LV and GG are made to be the equivalent of a neon sign hanging over the bearer's head screaming "I spent $600 on this thin, silk, scarf!!" (that is about to get caught in a bush!!! or drooled on by a baby!!) But there are two sides to the story, and I would like to share my empathy for Louis Vuitton (and Gucci, and Prada - yes, the great, blessed, Prada is also facing this trouble) but also point out how this new "no logo" trend fits in nicely with slow fashion and could also d

Name: Michael Awalt College: Hanszen '16 Major: Architecture  Favorite Decade: I don't try to find inspiration from the past, but if I could pick one, it would probably be the 80s. The 80s seem awesome. #1 Fashion Do:  "Guys, the best rule of thumb for what you are wearing is to have one truly bold item per outfit - nothing more. Don't make your outfit a competition within itself. If you're looking to add color, try a vibrant solid color shirt with a pair of black, white, gray, or dark wash jeans. Another way to add color is through pants. Many stores are starting to carry colored denim now and the variety is endless. Don't cop-out on the color though-- get something bright and vibrant. Be sure to wear something very subtle with the pants though, and don't be too coordinated with the pants or its starts too look tacky. And don't get orange pants. Just don't." #1 Fashion Don't:  Those toe-shoe things. What the hell are p

Most Loved Pieces This Fall

By
HI everyone! Now that we're starting our second round of midterms and well into the Fall Semester, Thu and I thought we would share some of our most loved trends this fall. Except Houston's weather is so warm it's still basically summer... Hope you enjoy! Julia I've gotten really into structured and oversized fits this season, so this is pretty much the epitome of that. I love to pair oversized pieces with even more oversized ones, just so I can get that lewk without trying much at all. These pieces are all pretty minimal, so if you see me around campus I'll probably be in at least one of these pieces here. Coincidentally, the whole outfit is from Aritzia - I highly recommend checking their website out!  - but culottes and oversized tops are so on trend now, I'm pretty sure you can find similar pieces at H&M, Zara and even Forever21.
