Between finals, figuring out safe travel plans, and the overall feel of 2020 ending, makeup has been the last thing on my mind. On my occasional run to the grocery store, I may brush my brows and pop some mascara on just to feel something. However, as the snow beings to fall and Zoom Christmas [...]

Fashion In the Face (Mask) of COVID
The past eight months have been an agonizing blur of Netflix binging, sweatpants wearing, unwashed hair with Zoom fatigue sprinkled in for good measure. Long gone are the days of Tiger King and family walks, now, we are simply "living into COVID" *ugh*. While the majority of what our future is going to look like [...]
The Move of Summer 2019: Sunscreen
Old Town Road: Blasting. Finals: Over. Sunscreen: Slathered. Sunscreen has been having a moment lately and it is about time. Jennifer Aniston and JLo both swear by the anti-aging effects of it and, honestly, that's enough for me to use it religiously!

This not only makes the AC/heating in the dorms tough, but [...]

First and foremost: Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from your friends at VT Vogue! Students are currently on our month and a half (yes, month and a half) long break from school full of free laundry, delicious foods, and catching up on sleep! With my newly found free time, I often found myself laying in [...]

In her bedroom, the family fashionista locks herself away from the madness that is the [...]
Becoming Jacqueline Kennedy
As a freshman in college, pressed shirts and blown-out hair are not the norm and throwing on yesterday's leggings have become a rite of passage. While comfortable clothing is almost always the way to go when the words "8 am" are involved, I longed to feel put together and presentable just two months after move [...]
