Making “Indie Sleaze” work for your 2023 wardrobe
If you tend to have a sleeker style, it doesn’t mean you can’t let out your inner “indie sleaze.” This fashion era that followed Y2K, is one that can be borderline cringe for people like me that were in middle school at its peak: heavy smudged under eyeliner, choppy bangs, skinny jeans with combat boots…but…

Preppy Fashion is Back | The Chic List
There’s nothing like a downtown stroll in the crisp California winter air to clear one’s head and test out a new outfit. In my flair boyfriend jeans and Pepperdine University collegiate crewneck with a cream turtleneck peeking out from under, I walked down Downtown Turlock, the charming corner of where I grew up. A sign…

Roots –What I Learned While Dressing Like a Haute Couture Model
Going back to one’s roots is audaciously grounding. As Americans, we prioritize the idea of individuality while other cultures seem to value connection—a connection between people, a connection to nature, a connection to past and present. What we sometimes fail to realize is that by connecting, we are actually doing a service to ourselves as…

A Very Krischic Christmas: What I Wore
Merry Christmas to all! There is nothing I love more than the merriment of the holiday season: being surrounded by loved ones, filling one’s belly with the savory and sweet delights of a delectable Christmas food spread across the table and filling one’s heart with the classical Christmas carols and Christmas films.

Valentino and the Nutcracker Ballet
With only four days until Christmas, I have been practicing some favorite family traditions: watching the nutcracker ballet, drinking festive coffee drinks, and watching too many Christmas movies to count (Anything from Beauty and the Beast and the Enchanted Christmas to Elf). Nothing warms my soul like the Christmas season and getting to celebrate Christ’s…

Notting Hill
This weekend, my fabulous friend (and one of my roommates) Rebekah and I travelled just two short stops on the tube to Notting Hill (yes, the same one in the movie with the ever so endearing Hugh Grant and the too perfect for words Julia Roberts). As I had not seen the movie before, we…

Coffee With a Side of Cognition
Studying for finals while studying abroad in London is like the carriage in Cinderella turning back into a pumpkin. One minute, you’re staring at a photography exhibit for Julia Margaret Cameron at the Victorian and Albert Museum, and the next your computer screen, creating an outline for your British History essays. The reality is, studying…
