Summer Favorites and Procrastination [Welcome Back to School!]

Image
By
First off, I would like to thank all of our followers and readers, as well as the people who have let me take a picture of them for #riceootd! 

While we're experiencing a 'cold front,' let's be honest. It's still going to be summer for at least a few more weeks, so here are a few of our summertime favorites! 

Kai Holnes, one of our bloggers and editors, is rocking the mixed leather look in her favorite summer #ootd shown below. She says sunglasses are the item for this summer because "they're an item you really don't get to use during the rest of the year as much as you use them during the summer. With Amazon and Forever 21 carrying cheap and awesome sunnies in all styles and colors they can add so much to your outfit!" Houston is a pretty sunny city year round, so sunglasses are a good staple to keep in your purse or backpack!


Meanwhile, our other blogger and resident make up guru, Ali Pineiro, "love[s] a good maxi dress. They're comfortable and effortless, but still fashionable. Maxi's are also great because of their versatility. I pair mine with wedges for going out to dinner or for a nicer occasion, but you can still dress it down with some open flat sandals." Taking a tip from Jenn Im from her latest back to school look book, you can also pair a maxi dress with a crop top/cropped sweater to make it look like you're wearing a maxi skirt. Perfect for transitioning into the fall and still look dressy casual (or just dressy! or just casual? the key lies in the shoes....)


Lastly, there is me... This was also supposed to be my introduction of sorts, being the first time I post as the new head editor of 6100 Main and this being the first official blog post of this school year! I'm Thu Nguyen, and over the summer I developed a fondness for oversized t-shirts. I love tucking them in halfway for a relaxed look, and I can shop in both the men's and women's sections! Honestly, guys have cooler shirts than girls sometimes. Dress it up with the jewelry and skinny jeans, or dress it down with cut off shorts and a snapback. Or you can go for the "rebellious trust fund baby"* look  and mix it up... 

yes this was ripped straight off instagram.... #noshame #idontusuallytakethesekindsofpictures

In terms of avoiding those amino acids, I think this post was a good use of my time. Thank you for joining me in procrastinating by reading this post! We have a LOT in store for the future (vlogs! more Instagram/Facebook features, student profiles, makeovers??!!) so stay tuned and get excited! 

ALSO! Do you want to join the team? Be a blogger, make people Facebook famous, and have an excuse to dress up almost every day because, duh, you're a fashion blogger... Stay tuned for an application that will be posted here and on our Facebook page sometime this Thursday, September 18th! 

*the "rebellious trust fund baby" line was coined by Varshini Satish, dear friend and queen of the hipsters on the West Coast tbh

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...

Beating the Summer Heat

By
This post is part of a Blogger Link-Up series hosted by Beauty And The Pitch (BATP), through the Houston Fashion Bloggers group. It's been about a month since the official start of summer, and I'm sure everyone has been struggling to find ways to beat the heat. BATP wanted us to share our secrets to a bearable if not fun summer, so here are five of my current summertime must-haves. 1. A solid playlist I usually have two or three summertime playlists, one for driving or walking around Montrose, one for working out, and one for chilling with a book in one hand and an iced coffee in the other. My music taste ranges from indie to hip hop, r&b to edm... in English, Korean and Vietnamese... Here's a sample of some of my favorites! 2. Cold drinks: Cafe Sua Da (Vietnamese Iced Coffee)  Ice cold water is the best way to beat the heat but sometimes you just need a boost of caffeine or crave a sugary drink that's not dehydrating like soda. If you haven't heard o...

Blogger's Picks: Minimal Gold Jewelry

By
The statement necklace trend has been going strong for a while now, but as I transition to a more neutral style, I've passed down all of my statement pieces and moved on to the next big trend: minimal gold jewelry. (Sorry friends, my little sister gets first dibs and she's taken everything...) What exactly do I consider "minimal gold jewelry"? Besides being, well, gold, the piece is tastefully structured in such a way that doesn't distract from the entire outfit, but rather enhances it. Jewelry is used to accent and compliment your outfit. While the idea behind the statement necklace was to add a pop of color or shiny-sparkly to your otherwise black and/or white or solid other color outfit, simple gold pieces streamline your outfit and highlights underrated beauty in your wrists and neckline. Again, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying statement necklaces are completely out and tacky - they're just a different style, one I'm switching out of. Rec...
