Summer Favorites and Procrastination [Welcome Back to School!]

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

Louis Vuitton Logos Are Obnoxious But So Are Their Haters

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

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

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.
