The Investment Piece

The Cardigan

Bundle up this fall with a crucial piece for your wardrobe Aja Goare As the weather begins to shift into that familiar briskness that is fall, another familiar fall staple reappears: the cardigan.

The cardigan has been a long-time transitional article of clothing that can help to ease into the colder months without losing half a wardrobe. But what’s important to remember is keeping the cardigan timeless, not tired.

9

Any classic cardigan can be converted by: Color wheel contrasts: orange cardigan and green shirt, blue cardigan and red shirt, black cardigan and white shirt, etc.

Additions to a cardigan; such as pins, buttons, or studs Layering two brightly colored cardigans A cardigan under a leather jacket Zip up hoodie over top a cardigan; sleeves rolled

Though cardigans can be relatively inexpensive, at least one high-quality cardi is essential to a wardrobe. Consider it an investment piece! It can be worn time and time again in a variation of ways, helping with warmth and style this fall.

BEAUTY

5 Beauty Products: Tried, Tested, and Approved The 5 best beauty products to get your hands on now Hannah Brokenshire

W

hile you may be mourning the end of a short-but-sweet summer, there’s plenty to look forward to in fall. The changing season allows those deep colors and sumptuous shades to find their way back into your wardrobe and make-up pallet too. The following five products have been tried, tested, and approved as autumn essentials for your make-up bag.

2. Urban Decay Naked2

1. Burt’s Bees Tinted Lipbalm

After years of searching for the ever-elusive “perfect” mascara, I think I’ve finally found mine. So many products promise they won’t clump, smudge, etc., but Neutrogena’s Health Volume Mascara stays true to their word. The plump wand evenly coats each lash, lengthening and adding volume. It can look completely natural, or be easily layered when you’re in the mood for slightly more va-va-voom.

7.49$, www.neutrogena.com

I will admit to not being a fan of lipstick (or much color on my lips at all), but this lip balm is just the ticket for those who are wary of the classic red lips. Available in six shades, Honeysuckle is an angelic pale pink while Red Dahlia amps up the volume with rich burgundy. My personal favorite is Hibiscus: a lovely blend of coral and ruby, it provides just enough color, while shea butter and botanical waxes go to work making your pout healthy. 3.00$, www.burtsbees.com.

Something definitely worth the splurge: the second generation of the fan-favorite Naked palette, contains the perfect combination for fall with a dozen gorgeous shades ranging from matte to metallic. By layering the taupe, copper, and bronze shadows, you can create a perfect smoky eye, and the black works wonderfully as a liner. 50.00$, www. urbandecay.com

3. Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara

12

4. Essie nail polish in Aperitif

When it comes to nail polish I have always been a die-hard O.P.I groupie, but when it came time to find the perfect red for game days in The Shoe, I turned to Essie in Apertif. The polish coats the nail evenly on the first layer and lasted over a week without chipping. The myriad of red nail polishes out there can be hard to navigate, but I found Aperitif added spirit to my fingers quite nicely. 8.00$ www.essie.com

5. No7 Soft & Sheer Tinted Moisturizer

Covering your summer sun-kissed skin with a cakey foundation just doesn’t seem right, and that’s where tinted moisturizer will be your friend for those transitional months from pool-side to classroom. No7 is the make-up line for Boots, the trusted British pharmacy, and provides a sheer wash of color just even to even skin tone and protect your skin from the sun. 11.99$, www.target.com

While jewelry may not be every guy’s goto accessory when they get dressed in the morning, many guys seem to count out jewelery whatsoever. The word “jewelry” may have feminine connotations, but these male gems are anything but girly.

For a more noticeable accessory, opt for a unique necklace. Whether it’s symbolic, eye-catching, or just plain crazy, a statement necklace can tie an outfit together while making a great conversation starter!

How

Has Changed Retailing

The newest social media website has transformed the way we shop Emily Collard Look back to the Internet of the mid to late ‘90s. From MySpace to animated Instant Messenger profiles, everything was highly visual. Unaware of our cardinal design sins, preteens went along choosing the brightest neons or glittering backgrounds to “tell our story.” To show the world our personality, we expressed ourselves through limited manipulation of HTML. The Internet was about to change.

The change happened slowly, allowing time for all users to acclimate, but one thing’s for sure-- it didn’t happen unnoticed. The sheer design simplicity and usability of Facebook was unheard of at the time. The clean lines and simple navigation made it plain and unattractive.

There were no dancing cartoons, blaring musical accompaniment or glittering text to distract us from the true goal-- and it was genius.

Where could we go now?

Enter Pinterest. Between November 2011 and January 2012, unique visitors to Pinterest.com doubled to 11.72 million unique visitors, with average minutes per visit competing with Tumblr, while exceeding Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace and Google+. What had happened? How had this seemingly simple version of Google images skyrocketed with such speed? The website layout was still very simple. You couldn’t change your background, no crazy fonts and (initially) you couldn’t even add a profile about yourself.

Pinterest had done the unthinkable and had done it well. Keeping basic graphic design principles at heart, they had created a free space to express yourself and your inspirations. We were again free to scream from the mountaintop, “this is who I am!” From dream wedding dresses and walk-in closets, to perfect dresses and mouth watering recipes, Pinterest reminded the public that what they “like” mattered.

Even though most of us just use our cell phones, a watch is still an option, and it doesn’t have to look like you took it from your dad. A watch can be a very functional way to add something modern and bold to your everyday wardrobe. It’s especially nice to have to glance at during class if you have to turn to see a clock, or so you don’t get distracted by all the capabilities of your phone every time you go to check the time. These chunky watches from Tigertree and Milk Bar in plastic and rubber are an affordable way to make a small fashion statement in your everyday look, even if you don’t wear three at a time.

Philanthropy and Fashion

The popular fashion brand makes a difference around the world Rachel Davidson

It is no secret that designers are using their influence to make a difference and improve conditions for people around the world. While the trends and fads come and go, philanthropy is something that is always in fashion. A definite innovator in the industry has to be the Kate Spade New York label.

In 2005, Kate Spade New York joined forces with the non-profit, Women for Women International, to create designs that have a positive impact on both consumers and women across the globe. This group works to aid women in countries stricken with war and conflict, teaching them to work, trade, and reconstruct their lives.

Deborah Lloyd has been the creative director of Kate Spade for almost five years now, working on expanding the Kate Spade brand. Lloyd designs patterns, often influenced by traditional fabrics and prints, and uses skills passed down from generation to generation. Women for Women International gives women the training they need to embroider, weave, and bead products designed by Kate Spade.

The women hand-create everything from woven totes, scarves, and mittens, to beaded necklaces and bracelets in fun, vibrant colors. These handcrafted accessories are available on Kate Spade’s website, starting at around thirty dollars. Continued on page 106.

U

p until recently, socks were at the bottom of the fashion food chain and have been undoubtedly overlooked in the past. Only a select few had the courage to sport the twotoned argyle sock and most likely you would find these involuntary trendsetters on a golf course.

We present to you: the statement sock.

It’s been gaining immense popularity in menswear the past year and now many are jumping on the crazy sock train, and who can blame them? The white sock has gotten a makeover and no trendsetter is leaving this sartorial stone unturned. Due to the revival of men’s footwear, every men’s magazine and style blog has featured these funky duos.

For around ten to twenty dollars each, this little fashion statement can be super affordable and attainable for anyone. So when it comes to scouting out a pair of your own, you’re sure to find something that accompanies your personal style. Stores such as J. Crew and Nordstrom have plenty of options, and websites like sockshop. com and source.com both have shopping available at your fingers tips.

SPOTLIGHT Local goes Global

The Flying Monk This student-run T-shirt business is growing around not only Columbus, but the country.

Hannah Brokenshire

36

For anyone who has seen The Flying Monk logo plastered around campus or admired their graphic designs on a stranger’s sweatshirt and wondered “What on earth is that about?” It’s all about to make sense.

The Flying Monk was an idea that morphed into a full-fledged brand through the vision of three Ohio State students: Austin Pence, Segun Osinusi, and Jobey Manahan.

The self-taught designers and entrepreneurs began envisioning their own clothing line after meeting in the campus dorms freshman year.

Come summer 2011, the first line was out and profit was being made in a quick fashion. The success of the young brand comes in part from learning how to navigate building their website and creating an active social media presence.

Designed for “anybody who loves a good T-shirt,” The Flying Monk is a culmination of the personal style of Pence, Osinusi, and Manahan.

“Solely that’s what it is, it’s us three in a nutshell,” Pence said.

A self-described “indie” clothing line, the three entrepreneurs shy away from any direct label.

“It’s more about not being in a box; there’s no limit to the thing that we can create,” Osinusi added.

“I don’t want to say we’re designing for hipsters,” Manahan added, “but we are designing for people that do hip things.”

The origin of The Flying Monk’s puzzling name stems from an Italian Renaissance art class that Pence took.

“We learned about these monasteries in Florence where these monks would make these really elaborate pieces of art, but they were also really simple,” Pence said. “We really like the simplicity in things, the simple shapes and then making something beautiful out of it.”

Drawing inspiration from anything that catches their attention, from graffiti to pictures discovered on their well-managed Tumblr, Pence attributes “pure creativity” to the graphic designs that pop up on the brand’s signature crewnecks, hoodies, and T-shirts.

The most popular styles feature geometric shapes, graphics, and repetition; all signatures of The Flying Monk’s aesthetic. Fun styles like the Ivory Slim include a bright graphic of an elephant on the comfortable crewneck.

What began as an idea and a rough sketch, transformed into fashion in Pence’s and Manahan’s off-campus house. Seeing the final product is euphoric for the eager designers.

“Nothing’s better than shipping a package to another state and it’s a name you’ve never heard before, and it’s like how did you guys even find us?” Pence said.

The Flying Monk has extended their sales as far as Texas and to the style-infused neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York.

That cryptic logo is sure to become recognizable on campus as they continue to market and promote their brand and break into the mainstream conscious of Ohio State’s campus style. For The Flying Monk, the sky’s the limit.

“Hopefully we’ll be big on college campuses by the time we graduate, and from there, open our own stores in places like New York or Los Angeles, or being in other boutiques,” said Osinusi.

“Yeah that’s the ultimate dream,” said Manahan.

Fall’s Fresh Fragrances for Men: We’ve got you covered with 4 distinct fragrances to try out.

Rachel Davidson

T

he search for the perfect signature fragrance is one that seems to be neverending. We all want to find that one scent that fits us flawlessly. Not to mention, the scent you sport undoubtedly has a major effect on the people you interact with. Listed below are four striking colognes, each with a different overarching aroma, so you can choose the best scent for you.

Fresh:

Ben Sherman’s Eau de Toilette screams fresh and clean with its citrus notes of lemon, lime, and tangerine and is balanced by heavier notes of bergamot, cardamom, and mint. For added richness, Sherman has also included nutmeg, patchouli, vanilla, musk, coffee, cedar, and amber to produce a bright, yet well-rounded fragrance.

50

Woodsy:

Polo Black, by Ralph Lauren is a classic, goto cologne for a hot date night or any special occasion. Sophisticated, yet daring, Polo Black contains scents of mango, sage, patchouli, and silver armoise, producing an intoxicating heady mix of intrigue and mystery.

Aquatic:

Bvalgari Aqva is the definition of refreshing.

Inspired by posidonia oceanica, an oxygensecreting deep-sea plant, this crisp fragrance combines notes of petit grain from the bitter orange plant, with citrus for freshness, and is given an elegant masculinity with hints of mineral amber.

Spicy:

John Varvatos Vintage is a spicy and intoxicating cologne, with notes of black and pink pepper.

Bergamot, quince, juniper, citron, and suede contribute to an earthiness, while notes of oak, moss, cedar, and patchouli provide rugged warmth.

Tire and Attire Be comfortable and cute while taking a stroll on your bike

F inding a balance between time spent getting ready for class and time getting to class can be difficult. Riding a bike is optimal for time, but all too often fashion is sacrificed for riding-ability. Luckily, putting the brakes on fashion is not necessary.

Here are some common wardrobe roadblocks and how to steer around them: Grinding gears: If there is one thing that will slow you down, quite literally, it is getting fabric stuck in your bike gears. Be sure to stay away from flowing fabrics and full-length bottoms. Substitute gaucho-style pants for cigarette capris.

Take cover: Concentrating on traffic should take priority – not worrying about pulling a Lindsay Lohan. This does not mean eliminating skirts and dresses from your commuter wardrobe, simply add biking shorts or solid tights underneath.

Cold shoulder: Riding a bike can be chilly,

especially in the early morning. Stay warm and look hot by ditching the oversized hoodie and embracing layers. Start with a simple long-sleeved shirt, layer on a cute shorter-sleeved top, and finish with a cardigan. Complete the look by folding up the sleeves to three-quarter length.

You can subtract from this combination as the day warms up.

Comfort & Mobility: Perhaps the biggest protest to fashionable cycling is comfort. Bike riding requires a lot of movement and constricting fabrics can be uncomfortable. Leave chaffing in the dust by avoiding heavy denim and wool. Polyester and cotton are much more flexible choices and allow more unrestricted movement.

“So I’m Back, to the

Velvet Underground, back to the floor, that I love...”

Spoken by the fairy godmother of gypsy rock herself, Stevie Nicks was an essence of rock & roll, and no one wears velvet better than Stevie, with her ethereal twists and all.

For fall, no other season showcases velvet better, and without the beautiful leaves, crisp air, and luxurious velvet on the runway, the season would be unrecognizable. I know it’s hard to put away those bright colored ankle straps and your high-waisted shorts but to ease the blow, this fall fashion trend will help kick those summer blues into shape.

With a major moment in the ‘90s, velvet was worn by everyone from Courtney Love to most characters on Full House. You can find it in a multitude of Fall 2012 lines and look books as well as on fashion icons and starlets alike. With appearances in Chanel, Gucci, and Balmain fall shows, it’s apparent that velvet is coming back with a vengeance. beauty of velvet is that it’s ominous without being gothic, classic without being outdated, and romantic without being too feminine.

No fabric can do that all at once, unless of course it’s magic. So it’s no wonder velvet is at the top of every editor’s list as a cold weather staple to rock this fall.

Adding velvet to your everyday wear is a sure way to add richness and texture where it’s most needed. The lush material is never limited to any particular style; in fact, there are many different options for fall. Sure you can opt for the classic velvet accessories such as a clutch or a pair of pumps, but you can also go for statement pieces like velvet blazers, dresses, and pencil skirts. In jewel tones and dark romantics, this trend is sure to give many style variations for different tastes. So brush the dust off your fall wardrobe and spruce it up with some rich velvet. Embrace your inner gypsy!

The visual nature of Pinterest hits a core need of society to express their desires in a safe space, and the ability to share your dream self with millions of your closest friends presents a sounding board to gather opinions before you buy.

Retailers are finding that products that make it onto Pinterest sell out over night, and not only is this changing trends and how they are shared, it’s changing the retail space. Ask any businessman. In the coming years, retailers will have to turn to entertaining their audience to sell a product.

And how can retailers distinguish themselves on Pinterest? How can they encourage their five-inch pair of nude wedges to be purchased more than another? Does the power lie in the users as to what gets repinned the most and where sales go? Will we see companies take on influencing Pinterest in their marketing strategy? Will users continue to use a product that is company positioned compared to peer positioned?

Many questions lie in the future of Pinterest, but there are two key takeaways that will continue to influence how we buy and sell. The first is that despite our convoluted path of design crimes to simplicity, human nature gravitates towards visual selfexpression. How retailers position their products online is going to continue to grow in importance. It is easy to predict we will see many changes in how we shop. Lastly, it is important to note that sales will increasingly be based on entertainment. Brands will always compete for the most viewers, and how they will do so.

Kate Spade Continued from pg 26 Beginning in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kate Spade worked with Women for Women International, creating over 400 jobs for women recovering from hard times, within a single year. The organization now has programs in Rwanda, Afghanistan, and Kosovo.

The ultimate goal is to create sustainable employment opportunities for as many women as possible.

Items from Kate Spade’s collections for Women for Women International are purchases you can feel good about. Not only will you have a unique accessory to add to your ensemble, but you will be supporting efforts to help women around the world get back on their feet and make good lives for themselves and their families.

Socks continued from pg 27 Fashion is too fun to stick with those staid options of brown and black hues. There are a multitude of charming patterns such as polka dots, horizontal stripes, and a wide range of color palettes. When looking for a patterned sock, pick one with strong and bold colors. If you like to play it on the safe side, stripes are your best bet. These are the easiest to pair with an outfit because they are more understated while still grabbing attention. Wear your new socks under a suit or showcase them with a pair of jeans with rolled up cuffs and a well-worn pair of brogues.

Whether it’s strong patterns or color palettes that catch your eye, keep those stuffy white socks for the gym and put a new sock forward. After all they are walking accessories that give your outfit the pinch of personality it needs!
