One of five a cappella groups on Miami University’s campus, their signature red heels and black dresses aren’t just stylish—they are a tradition. Established in 2001 by six women, the group now has 16 members and over 100 alumni who have all performed in the same outfit. The “sisterhood” goes beyo

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

Then, when you add in trying to have a social life, things can seem overwhelming or even daunting. Here’s the good news: Having a social life does not mean you have to sacrifice your grades, and doing well in school does not mean shutting yourself out from the world. With the right approach, you can fin

By Anna Kate Mereness Edited by Taylor Morgan Glimmers / @tetelesta iiiiii on Pinterest On September 2, 2025, the fashion industry was stripped of an icon. Less than a month later, legendary models quite literally suited up  for Giorgio’s final collection. In the very city he helped define, Armani’s Spring/Summer Collection debuted in Milan Fashion Week. Hundreds of new suits and dresses were donned on the catwalk, though there were undoubtedly undertones of Armani’s entire,

Or found yourself naturally gravitating toward a shade that makes you feel bright and confident while shopping? The key to crafting your best outfits lies in understanding your intuitive sense of which colors truly flatter you. While silhouette, fit and composition are important, making a real statement goes beyond that. It’s about intentionally usin

By Sylvia Eastman Edited by Taylor Morgan VICTORIA'S SECRET / @victoriassecret on Instagram Ever since its first runway show in 1995 at the Plaza Hotel, Victoria’s Secret has placed a special spotlight on undergarments, turning them into a fashion statement rather than just everyday wear. The brand reimagined the concept of undergarments in the late 1990s and early 2000s, empowering women to feel more confident not just in their clothes but also in what they wear underneath.

By Emerson Driscoll Edited by Taylor Morgan After a long summer, the fall season is back, and with it comes many more birthdays, including my own. Recently, my mission has been to find the best birthday theme, specifically one attuned to the season, and after seeing so many summer birthday ideas that I loved, I knew I had to find a theme for myself that gave me the same excitement.  Autumn emulates all the feels we know and love: the cool, smoky air, the golden leaves, spices

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. Our thoughts as individuals keep us unique and create a sense of self that is different from the person next to us. Our society brings us together and lets us share thoughts and opinions, but where’s the line between our society and ourselves? I think that line has blurred far too much recently.  This is not to say that we shouldn’t lean into trends or

By Harper Sabin Edited by Taylor Morgan The arrival of fall invites us to start fresh—new clothes, routines and habits, beauty products, you name it. 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

Individually, they have achieved success through their solo pop careers, with FINNEAS producing and co-writing alongside his sister, Billie Eilish.

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

After thinking it over, I determined t
