6100 Main

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 "th ey'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, "l ove[s] a good maxi dress. They...

Helloooo everyone!  So as the new semester approaches us in the not-so-far future, you may have one question: How do you turn this: Clueless-Paramount Studios  Into this? (Or the concept of it :3) Tumblr Whether you're asking this question as a returning student or wonderful freshie (or even not asking the question at all-even though you should*coughcough*) I'm here to give you some tips on what you can do to either maximize your space, fit all of your fashion items in a dorm room, or get some organization all up in your system (the whole turn over a new leaf thing you know?) Your own style is much easier to craft with some type of organization system that works for you! Summer is a great time to start thinking about these things. Maybe even donate those pair of shoes you've had forever? Alright alright, enough of me sounding like your mom! Let's go~! TipsTipsTipsTips Tip 1: Maximize Your Closet Space The closet is one of the h...

Technically speaking, this guide is a whole season late. In the fashion world, the Spring runways are held in the Fall before. But since it's still somewhat winter (hello cold rain and 40° weather), we're just in time. Angled and Structured Prominent features since the time of 20th century Hollywood glamour, structured coats, A-line skirts, and shoulder lines are classic. Phillip Lim brings it all back together with a modern, office-ready twist for his line 3.1 Phillip Lim. 3.1 Phillip Lim This Forever 21 (an increasing favorite brand, but that's for another post) bodysuit does a pretty good job imitating this style with the square shouldered sleeves and structured pants. The coat is from ASOS' own line and it does a good job imitating Lim's style, with a bit of Alexander Wang influence.  F21 | ASOS        (A/N: Across 50+ designer runways, white and black continue to have a reigning presence. Surprise? Not really.) St. Patrick Greens S...

This article will feature a few items to jump-start your brainstorming. Click here to view the full collection of all the pieces, including the ones shown below, I picked out to wear this holiday season. Gold and Black is the new Black If you haven't noticed it while you were shopping, now is the time to know. A gold twist has been added  to the classic black, ranging from dresses (see our Firey Homecoming article) to rompers to accessories. Not only will this be perfect this season, but it's a trend that will never get old.  Red Nosed Reindeer You can never go wrong with classic reds, either bright like Rudolph's nose, or dark like the Grinch's heart. With dresses or skirts (or shorts!), black tights are the safest to go with. If you're feeling bold, make sure you consider what shoes you're wearing before picking out the stockings. Pair the red with a matching lip color or smokey eyes!  Make the Cut As the s...

Name: Ryan Kim College: Duncan '14 Major: Mechanical Engineering Pre-Med Describe your style: "I'm a minimalist. I focus mostly on my pants, shoes, shirts, and then cardigans or whatever the outerwear. But I feel like giving a little bit of detail... brings you up to another level. So I often wear a pocket square with my blazer, or, if I'm wearing really simple toned cardigan or shirt, I try to boost it up a little with my glasses because they're a little more flashy [he has four different pairs] or I'll wear nicer shoes. I'm always balancing back and forth between classy casual and formal." How is your closet fit for a college budget? "My principle is when you need to spend, you need to spend. But if not, save up all that money." Most people believe I'm super lavish, but I'm actually kind of frugal. "I focus most of my money on my shoes and outerwear." Since people will mostly focus on your outerwear, s...

Name: Elle Eccles College: Martel '15 Major: English & Psychology Describe your style : My color palette typically involves reds and burgundies, corals and pinks, turquoises and dark blues. And purple. Lots of purple. I’m careful to only buy things that go well with my skin tone, although black and white and red is also a great combo that I keep coming back to. Style Inspiration: I get my ideas from the styles of my peers, TV show characters, strangers on the street—really, keeping a style-inclined eye out helps me get an idea of what looks good on what body type, what colors go well together, etc., and I often end up organizing not just my look but my friends’ looks as well. That being said, I don’t approach style as a way to dress, I approach style as a creative outlet. It’s something I feel. And I’m always looking to change things up, always reinventing old outfits as a way of creating just one more thing that’s nice to look at. Favorite Clothing Item : E...
