Chunky Sweaters

As the days get colder, everyone is looking for warm yet stylish clothes. Oversized, chunky sweaters have been seen on celebrities like Sandra Bullock and Season 8 of Project Runway. In a recent challenge, designers had to create a look that Jackie Kennedy would wear today. Gretchen created an edgy look based around a big, beige sweater. Complete this look by pairing it with a cute belt and over-sized jewelry.

Give Thanks For Peas

The holiday season is all about helping others right? Well, before we take a break to stuff ourselves with turkey and pumpkin pie, we wanted to feature PSU blogger Brenna Liu. Brenna's blog, Eats Peas, is a friendly serving of fashion, photography, news, and personal opinions on everyday events. This sophomore majoring in psychology came up with the title from childhood memories growing up with Irish and Chinese parents. Whether is was in Shepherd's Pie or fried rice, peas were always on the table for dinner every night.

Brenna is currently into finding the perfect day wear. Think high waisted skinnies, crop tops, and antique jewelry. Ever since her sister tied the knot in one of his dresses, she has been a fan of Peter Som, designer and consultant for Tommy Hilfiger. Som's style is quirky and classic while finding beauty in the elegant and odd. The Spring 2010 collection is boldly feminine and available in Bergdorf Goodman, Saks Fifth Avenue, Nordstrom, and Neiman Marcus. Up next on Eats Peas will be antique pieces including a ring passed down from Brenna'a grandmother. When we asked Brenna about her Thanksgiving plans, she said she would be in Mexico far away from turkey and green bean casserole for the first time. But who knows, maybe she'll find some peas while eating Mexican food on the beach.

Koolaburra

The definition of sheepskin is a tanned skin of a sheep with fleece left on. So what's sheepskin redefined? That would be Koolaburra, a boot brand with a rock-boho luxe edge.

Don't worry, The west, south, east, and north side can all rock it out this winter because shoes are available in boutiques across the US.  Check out their best-sellers or check the website for yourself!

Happy Veterans Day

Take time out of your busy schedule today to appreciate and honor our military veterans. The Combat Paper Project is an exhibition of our veterans' artwork. Throughout history, soldiers wrote about their war stories to loved ones in letters and diaries. Today, veterans are sharing their personal experiences by writing on a special kind of paper. They are turning their old uniforms worn in combat into paper by using a special paper-making process. This process involves cutting up the uniforms, cooking it in a soda ash solution, pulping, then pressing the paper into sheets. Just throw some blood, courage, and loyalty into that soda ash solution and you have a work of art. See what our soldiers went through at the Vietnam Era Museum and Education Center and other exhibits throughout the year.

Right on Target

Boots, boots, and more boots. Steve Madden and The Frye Company are in high demand this Fall, but warm your pockets with some extra dollar bills. How? Check out Mossimo’s new line at Target. Let’s play a game and see if you can tell the difference. Which one is Mossimo and which one is not?



What’s the verdict? 1 and 4 are both from Target. If you probably couldn’t tell, neither could we. Target’s Tall Buckle Boots (#1) are only $34.99 compared to Steve Madden’s Roady Boot, priced at $199.95. And the Engineer Boots (#4) are only $49.99 compared to Frye’s for $318! Target is a great store to get quality at a good price. So why not save the bills for the bills? Pay off next month’s rent or groceries. Well, let’s be honest, most of you will probably just buy another pair of shoes. Don't worry, we won't tell.

Mossimo also has pumps, booties, and western boots. Gear up for the winter with sweaters and cardigans too.
