Tip For the week: Eye Make-up Application

10/20/09 5:38 PM

Whenever I am out and about in the town or even just around campus I always have to fix my face. Not that I am implying there is anything wrong with my face, but I do like to use cosmectics as an enhancer of beauty; not a cover-up. So I find it interesting that three girls ask me how did I apply my eye shadow today. I thought this might be a helpful tip for all of my Fashion Fancy gals. Before you apply make-up of any kind, you need to first make sure it compliments your skin tone. For example pale skin tones do not work well with dark browns or chocolate colors; although they can get away with almost every bold color  if applied correctly. Also dark skin tones need to stay away from too many bright bold colors; hot pink, royal blue, and deep purple together makes you look like...

Hot Spots to shop

10/8/09 8:08 PM

Have you ever gone into the local mall and brought the perfect dress for an event, you spend all night getting ready, and when you get to the event, there is a girl wearing you're same dress; and she's wearing it wrong. I personally hate shopping in stores where everyone else is shopping too. There has been countless times when I  brought a fabulous blouse and later im stading right next to a girl with my same blouse and she makes it look taky. To avoid looking like a doublemint twin, I seek out the most exclusive spots to shop. i love to shop in little boutiques around the city becuase the clothes are limited in style and I most likely wont bump into the other two girls who brought my same shirt. For Towson women, the mall seems like the...

Fashion tip of the week: Accessorize!

10/6/09 3:18 PM

Have you ever had the perfect complete outfit that just didn’t feel complete? You’ve combined the perfect shoes, top, bottoms, and hair –do in to a stylish look that just seems to be missing something. It is a fashion faux pas to forget the accents. Every plain Jane can be a fashionista without leaving the comforts of her own style. Always remember to accentuate your boring tops with a little faboulosity! The perfect accessory is the charm bracelet. All your girlfriends want to borrow this because it adds sassy style and just looks so appealing. Don’t overdo it though! If you have one charm bracelet on the arm you don’t need a mountain of jewelry to add to it. One charm bracelet can replace 3-4 bangles. I personally have four and...

Bang out the boots

9/30/09 5:50 PM

Ladies it is time to let go of the sandals and those dreadful flip-flops. Fall fashion is has arrived for the season. It is time to bring out your boots. I don’t mean those everyday Uggs or your sleazy Saturday night "come get me" boots either. I am talking about fly and flawless boots that tops off any outfit. Some of our Towson women already strut their stuff in fashionable boots.  Dr. Nicole Dombrowski-Risser, Associate Professor for the department of history, was spotted walking to the Cook Library wearing a pair of brand named, brown leather, Michael Kors, rider boots. I am  a huge fan of Micheal Kors party shoes and now an advocate for his boots. Dr. Dombrowski-Risser told me she caught the boots on sale at a Bergdorf Goodman in New...

Rip the Runway

9/23/09 4:14 PM

  Je Suis La Mode, a fashion team sponsored by the Black Student Union, held their fall 2009 fashion show tryouts last night in the Susquehanna of the University Union. About 25 Towson tigers lined up outside the Susquehanna to face a panel of eight judges. Candidates needed to impress the judges with a fierce walk down the run way. All the women needed to have heels on and all the men…let’s just say they needed to turn their “swag” on. Although the technique varies between men and women each candidate gave it their all. I was given the opportunity to watch the tryouts and notice that each person who walked has their own style. Some were dancers who grace the runway with a sassy display of their multi-talents. Some were aspiring models who walked with...
