I am a lover of gold. Heck, it doesn't even matter if it's real: the only genuine yellow gold jewelry in my possession are a pair of tiny studs given to me by my grandmother and a simple necklace from my mother. Lucky for me (and my student budget), the fake stuff does the trick just as well and I'm rarely ever in silver jewelry if I can help it.

So you can imagine how thrilled I was when they …
Recycled Fashion
{Photos by Paul Milaire and Roderick Fung of Fotowok}As a little girl, I remember seeing my mother sport a "clown" like coat once in a while: an oversized, sweatshirt like number in an almost unbearably blinding shade of orange. Since I'd always been used to seeing very safe options from her when it came to fashion (she often wore sweater sets and trousers to work), I just didn't understand this choice. How things have now changed: I opened her coat closet the other day and was astounded at how …
Fur Real??!!
The transition between a break and going back to school is always a little bit tough. I'm thankful for being able to go to school, but the night owl in me undeniably dreads the change from sleeping in until noon most days to 8AM classes three days a week.
