The Oscars is perhaps the second happiest time of year for fashion bloggers. We finally get to see those couture gowns off the runway and creatively reassembled by stylists.

But if you already own the perfect black coat, these gloves will add a little bit of color and pull together your outfit.

As a school so invested in its own culture, Dartmouth gear is a near necessity for all students. Two stores serve as the main outlets for Dartmouth-related merchandise: the Dartmouth Co-op and Traditionally Trendy. Yet regardless of the apparent competition, Dartmouth flair may seem a bit pricey. A sweatshirt alone could cost you over $80. Luckily for us, as year round Dartmouth students, we have to opportunity to do a store comparison and a bit more investigation into our options…. Read more »
I love to shop. It’s a problem. You know that girl that has about twenty packages every time she goes to Hinman and needs a trolley from Collis? That’s me. Let me apologize in advance for holding up the line. But considering Hanover has a grand total of two stores, I do the bulk of my shopping online or when I leave Hanover. With my Internet-wizened knowledge base, I have compromised a list of online shopping tips and stores that offer student discounts…. Read more »
