Dress you up
When the fashion god calls, you answer. Anna Wintour — the editor-in-chief of the fashion bible known as Vogue — asks shopaholics around the globe to pump funds into the fashion industry — and the economy — with the fourth annual Fashion’s Night Out. Locally, Penn Square Mall is getting in on the action as […]

Before the fall
As I trolled along, my foot was met with a sound that was familiar, yet strange. Crunch. I stooped down for inspection and saw underfoot what was unmistakably the remains of a dead leaf. While this might mean nothing to you — and I’m aware that a fallen leaf could have been the victim of […]

Go for the gold
Throngs of people schedule their vacation around it. Some are even making the trek to Londontown. But can I level with you? I don’t really care about the Olympics. Go ahead and let the gasps out.

Give a hoot

Arguably most exciting and elusive are these rare occasions. Second, there are those trips when you need the perfect thing. It might be a top or a skirt or an accessory. […]

Sporty spice
I recently made a trip to New York, and I was surprised that even the fashion world has gotten sporty with it. We live in Oklahoma, so we’re used to people out in public in questionable things like pajamas or workout gear, but this marks the first time that such attire is an actual trend. […]

Boy, oh boy
For men, this season includes big, bold prints and even bolder colors. “[We’re seeing] everything from a small dot, like a polka dot-esque look, to anything as loud as bold florals or spread-out stripes,” said Jacob Peregrin at Blue Seven, 7518 N. May. Don’t let the patterns and bright colors scare you. It’s easy to […]

Have an inkling
Once you decide on the reflection of your personal tastes and how you want to brand yourself, it’s time to embark on the journey of putting it all together, whether that’s specific clothing, a hairstyle, accessories or using your body as an artistic canvas. When you’re considering the addition of a permanent piece to your […]
