By Kennedy Stackowicz Edited by Taylor Morgan Yuliana Smug / @yulianabetinag on Pinterest It’s time to say goodbye to the “clean girls” and the “coastal grandmas” of the world. Gone are the days of all these aesthetics, and it could not have come soon enough.  Before we all hopped on social media, we were what we wore: the bands on our t-shirts, the earrings we found on our favorite trips, the wears on our shoes—that’s us. For a little while, we got tripped up. We became uber

By Kaitlin McDowell Edited by Taylor Morgan If you’ve been anywhere on the internet in the past two weeks, you know that Taylor Swift released a new album. The 12-track album, “The Life of a Showgirl,”   was met with love and adoration as well as disappointment and judgment. As Swift says herself, “haters gonna hate.”  Stephen Mease / UNSPLASH After too many streams to count over the past two weeks, I have concluded for myself that this album is perfect and exactly what I had

By Sophia Masi Edited by Taylor Morgan Our opinions, personal style, habits and the way we go about life make us who we are.

However, in the midst of our chaotic lives and persistent overconsumption of media, have we ever stopped to question why we romanticize the idea of change so much? Are we striving toward genuine growth, or something that pop culture and large industries have trained us to crave?  Seasonal shifts have long signaled a cultural urg

By Leah Hoffman Edited by Taylor Morgan Like most girls on Miami University’s campus, I have a big bucket full of going-out tops, an overflowing mix of sparkly, leather and slinky pieces. It’s one of my prized possessions, but I had a serious grievance with at least half the clothes in there until now. I hated walking into the bars matching three other girls in the same cheetah top. Cute in girl code, but I wanted my own style, and now I want to help you find yours.  The best

Now, what makes this show so appealing?  “The Summer I Turn

By Paige Auxier Edited by Taylor Morgan I’ve loved Princess Diana for several years, but when asked as to what drives and maintains my admiration for her, I find myself struggling to generate a response.  PROVINCIAL ARCHIVES OF ALBERTA/ Unsplash In the past, I’ve chopped it up to her style alone, and while I would consider her to be one of my greatest sources of fashion inspiration, I’m drawn to elements outside of her aesthetic as well. After thinking it over, I determined t
