A Letter from the Editor Hello and welcome to the first issue of M Magazine! I first got this idea during Spring Break while on a trip with some of my closest friends. At the start of my junior year, I had found my passion for fashion, a career which I wish to pursue. During this trip, one of my best friends gave me the idea that I should act on this passion. Thus, the idea for a fashion magazine came about. Previously, I felt there was not enough opportunities for students like me to pursue fashion. I decided to create that opportunity with M Magazine! This first issue centers around all things fall: basic staple pieces for your closet, how to layer, how to accessorize, and more. I hope my love of all things fashion shines through within this magazine. Thank you to the amazing people who helped me publish my first issue of M Magazine!
All my love, Alyssa Diaz

How to Accessorize
Knits to into If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that work from home style isn’t necessarily homely. Comfort can make a statement that speaks volumes, whether you’re doing homework in bed or going out with your friends! This fall, we’re anticipating old favorites like comfy pullovers, cardigans, and preppy sweater vests. These elevated knits include sleek dresses and two-piece sets, which could all be made repurposing using your grandmother’s coveted crocheted quilt. Check out our favorite fall finds.
