What To Wear: Winter Accessories Sales
Nothing welcomes Hokies to our Spring semester like 6-8 inches of snow and the traditional civilians vs. cadets snowball fight. This weekend probably didn't consist of a lot of driving, downtown, or deep diving into textbooks for the majority of us; instead, a mirage of bulky winter coats, hats that kept slipping off ears, and [...]
Holiday Must Have: Red Lips
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.

In our little corner of Southwest Virginia, Blacksburg's weather changes its mood more than Gucci gets bad PR. The turbulent forecasts go from sunny and 75 on Monday to "Are classes going to be canceled because of these eight inches of snow" on Tuesday. This not only makes the AC/heating in the dorms tough, but [...]
Christmas and Comparison
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 [...]
The Perfect Holiday Outfit
The scent of pumpkin pie fills the air, Nana is setting the table with her “good china”, your health nut aunt tries to convince your sister that vegan stuffing is actually delicious, and, in the distance, cheesy Christmas music plays. In her bedroom, the family fashionista locks herself away from the madness that is the [...]
