boys' club

yet another infallible fall staple is throwing a blazer on top of pretty much anything. add a pair of super trendy shoes and you're good to go.

sweather

continuing on with the theme of fall favourites is the big, backwoodsy sweater... warm enough to wear without a jacket, looks great with leggings, jeans, or really anything, and cozy enough to curl up in and tackle all the studying that's piling up.

meet: shannon, a first year life sciences student (they are really trendy this year!).

her personal style: "i'd generally call it vintage punk."

sweater: value village
boots: steve madden

in the black

another of my absolute favourites for fall is pairing plain, black tights or pantyhose (this does NOT mean leggings) with just about anything. skirts, shorts, dresses, even denim cut-offs. it's all golden. and come winter, just double up on the tights, or substitute the standard opaque ones for wool!

meet: anna, a first year life sciences student.

her personal style: "i usually just match different items from my closet. oh, and i like vintage for fall."

shoes: ecco
headband: random scarf
everything else: winners

back to cool

hey guys!

i hope you all had a wonderful summer. i swear it goes by faster every year. not that being back on campus is so bad... seeing friends, autumn colours, routines, but best of all, fall fashion. my friend lauren (also a fall girl, as you can see here) pointed out to me how much i clearly love autumn styles, and looking around campus this last week, i realize she is very right. chunky sweaters, leather boots, piled scarves... it's all so easy and looks so effortless.

so, i want to share with you all some of my favourite go-to running-to-class looks... today is the never-failing cardigan/t-shirt/scarf combo.

meet: sabrina, a fourth year cultural studies student.

her personal take on style: "my style changes month to month. i read a lot of fashion magazines and just pick out things i like, then try and recreate them for a bit cheaper."
