I was never really interested in following the advice of fashion influencers because I really didn’t want my fashion influenced. That is until I stumbled onto the account of Clara Perlmutter, a New York-based fashion influencer who goes by @tinyjewishgirl online. As I fell down an online wormhole to try and understand her style, I was introduced to other creators like @annagolkayepez, @polychrom3 and @myramagdalen. I learned that these influencers were considered “maximalists” in the fashion industry, meaning that they constantly push the boundaries of what constitutes casual wear, and they craft technicolor outfits that break from all conventions.
If you were to ask me what’s in my bag or the pockets of my jeans, nine times out of 10, I will pull out a lip gloss. A year ago, I could not say the same. I can thank the plethora of makeup brands on the market for this change in my daily behavior.
I vividly recall my introduction to foundation, courtesy of CoverGirl, that my mother bought me from our local CVS. While my prepubescent skin arguably didn't require such coverage, the act of applying makeup still bestowed a sense of beauty and confidence, even though it looked like crap. I recently made a point to treat myself to new beauty finds over spring break. Now, allow me to share with you the discoveries that have earned a permanent place in my beauty regimen this month.
After searching multiple Parisian fashion guides, including Conde Nast’s “What to Wear in Paris, According to French Fashion Designer Jeanne Damas,” I decided my best move would be to find a good pair of jeans or a pair of comfortable cargos with an oversized sweater. So, I decided to venture out into Boston to find a new pair of “go-to” traveling pants.
Before “coquette” was painted as an aesthetic, people would use the term to describe a young woman who flirts and seduces men. However, with the rise of the eloquent trend throughout the early 2010s, the term has changed its interpretation to glamorize and romanticize the dainty and pretty pink things in life.
There are a lot of things to consider when getting a tattoo, and the procedural aspects are even more difficult to understand — you can only understand it after you have been through it.
The Terriers are now the “Quaran-terriers,” we can show up to “class” wearing whatever we want, and the last thing I want to do is get up and ready for class at that hour.
