Gems on Gems – Pick of the Week!
Coco Chanel is famous not just for her physical contributions to the world of fashion. She is also well-known for her gems of style wisdom. A common favorite quote expresses Chanel’s minimalist style: “Before leaving the house, a lady should stop, look in the mirror and remove one piece of jewelry.” As much as I … Continue reading
The JFK Library Event!
While most people think the number 13 is unlucky, Boston College’s class of 2013 definitely does not. Why are we so special?

It’s All in the Details – Pick of the Week!
The BC Sartorialist and I were in unanimous agreement when it came to choosing the BCxRR Pick of the Week- Giuliana Zaccardelli.

I … Continue reading

It is so versatile. This pattern can be monochromatic, pastel, neon, or jewel toned. It can … Continue reading
Confident and Carefree: Pick of the Week
I find Adrienne, the BCxRR and BC Sartorialist Pick of the Week, to be truly fashion-forward, ironically, in her decision to wear the most generic accessory of all, the UGG boot. It is normally worn as the finishing touch on a standard North Face jacket, skinny jean, and Longchamp bag combo. The shoe that I … Continue reading
BCxRR and the BC Sartorialist Join Forces!
The dreary grey weather of this current week only seems to serve as a harsh reminder of the gloriously warm weather we were teased with last week. The sunshine induced many Boston College students to lay out in the sunshine, “work”, and show off their new spring outfits. Luckily, Alex Lee, the noted BC Sartorialist, … Continue reading
“Beauty as Duty”
As a college sophomore who applied everywhere as undecided, it is very easy for me to worry about what exactly I am going to be doing with the rest of my life. Just last year I realized that I am passionate about fashion and I hope to work in the industry in some way. Although … Continue reading
Resurgence of the Smoking Slipper
Originally designed for the Victorian gentleman’s smoking room, the smoking slipper has reemerged recently as one of the hottest shoe styles for both men and women, attracting the attention of designers from J.Crew to Christian Louboutin. Even though these phenomenal loafers may all have the same shape and basic elements, they are anything but ordinary. … Continue reading
Bonnaroo 2012
Bonnaroo tickets went on sale this Saturday (the second attempt, after hundreds of eager fans crashed the website on February 18th), and while I haven’t purchased mine–yet–I’ve been obsessively stalking the ‘Roo website, photos, and spotify playlist for weeks. Check out the 2012 line up: Absolutely ecstatic about Bon Iver, The Shins, Foster the People, … Continue reading
