Trae-
Describing her look:

Loucia-
Describing her look: Too hard to define.

Groovy is definitely a word I’d use to describe Trae’s look. The most impressive part of this outfit for me is how she pulls off throwing a sweater over the flannel…and then all that over a crazy-print shirt. That’s definitely a look I’d never be able to pull off.

Loucia’s look is more fitted and sleek–the tall, black suede boots, slim leather jacket, fitted jeans. What I love about the look is that it’s quite simple–but the accessories (especially that yellow knit hat)–really stand out and make a statement on their own.

Describing her style: Classy but fun

We like how she paired a pretty chic dress with a leather jacket. Tough leather jacket with a chic dress, black tones with brown tones…she’s definitely doing something right here. We love how she gives out that that rocker vibe, yet still subtly chic and elegant at the same time.. take a lesson and mix and match your outfit styles like Bryna the next time you dress out!

One word. Fedora. I mean, look at that thing. It’s amazing. It’s almost as sweet as Carmen Sandiego’s (yes, I am making a reference to Carmen because that’s who I was for Halloween). But seriously…haven’t seen a fedora worn that well in a while.

Now that winter’s kicking in–despite the surprisingly warm weather we’ve been having–is it fedoras out? Beanies in?

I say…rules are made for breaking.

I just love things in pairs. Hugging salt & pepper shakers, finger-exposing mittens, toe socks, dangly earrings, dangerous heels, mushy couples that take up 5/6ths of the sidewalk…

Well. Maybe not everything.

But back to the good pairs. Like awesome fashionable friends who visit each other on their breaks. Like Stephanie and Rachel, who looked so cute we were scared to approach them. Rachel, who actually goes to Texas Christian University, came up to see her girl Stephanie, the NYU-er. South meets North. And both looking incredible. Ahh yes. Change is coming to America…

Why don’t my friends who go to schools in the south come visit me? Hello, Shaina? Angela? (Please don’t discuss, it hurts too much).

But yes, thanks ladies for your super trendyness (trendiness? sp?) I will be going to Forever 21 VERY SOON.
