Dear Readers,
It has been quite the rush of a semester — from article writing to photo shoot concepts
and working on layout, the past few months have been a blur of embracing our creativity
and watching our ideas take shape. As always, I am continuously blown away by the drive,
professionalism and talent of the people involved in creating this publication.
This issue, we took UDress to new heights, traveling into the heart of Philadelphia for our cover
and center shoots. I had already been working on the “Urban Renewal” theme for months, but
our team focused on letting the city speak to us and running with any and all ideas that came
to mind. Improvisation became the theme of the day, as we moved from location to location and
found perfect nooks and alleys that showed the raw, rushed vibe of the city that I had hoped
to portray with “Urban Renewal.” Without a definite, set idea in mind, we were able to focus
on letting our creativity shine through and ended up with some of the most interesting and
dynamic shots we could have hoped for.
Through “Urban Renewal” we looked to big city street style for inspiration, creating sharp,
crisp images for our shoots and developing sophisticated and relatable articles. We focused on
current events revolving around fashion with “The Price of Femininity” (page 53) and discussed
low budget ways to stay on top of beauty trends in “Pretty Hurts (Your Wallet)” (page 44). For
“You’re Invited: Vineyard Outing” (page 60), we looked outside of campus to find entertaining
activities to do with friends and took to the streets of Newark to find out students’ favorite
bubbly beverages in “Beer 101: Intro to Brews” (page 21).
From “Urban Renewal” I hope you will embrace your unique style without any limitations, find
inspiration in those around you, and develop a confident attitude towards both your fashion and
life choices. After eight issues spent on the magazine, I’ve done a lot of reflecting on my past
four years here and in particular, the past year spent as editor-in-chief. More than anything,
UDress has shaped my college career and the magazines we’ve produced remain my biggest
accomplishments. I’d like to thank the entire UDress team for allowing me to share my vision
with you and for transforming it beyond the realms of my imagination.
Yours,
Morgan Ratner
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
letterfromtheeditor
Lindsey Cichocki, Photography Director
This was the first year that we didn't go into the cover shoot with an exact idea
in mind — we wanted it to be in a city, but other than that it was a blank slate.
Once we arrived in Philadelphia, the concept of the entire shoot began to fall
into place and improvisation became the word of the day. Being in the city, there
were so many elements that were entirely out of our control, but that's what
made it interesting in the end. We had such an amazing team working on the
shoot and were thrilled with the outcome.
Samantha Ortiz, Cover Model
It was an absolute honor and pleasure to be on the cover for the Spring 2015
issue. The streets of Philly just scream Urban Renewal. Every scene we shot,
from the middle of the streets, to the subway and even on top of a bus, was such
a thrill. The connection between Anna and I was instant and I had an amazing
time shooting with her.
Annamarie Djelevic, Cover Model
Shooting the cover was a literal dream come true and I couldn't think of more
amazing people to make it happen. I felt so comfortable in front of the lens
and running around Philadelphia beautifully clothed capturing real, urban,
moments was surreal. It was all so spontaneous and so chic and I am grateful
to be but a small part of this issue.

On November 22nd, students, faculty and members of the community escaped reality for a
night and became a part of the UDress fantasy. Ideas and visions that took months of planning
were finally brought to life at the UDress Fall Fashion Event as the Trabant multipurpose
rooms were illuminated by deep purple and turquoise lights, dozens of matching balloons, full
table magazine displays and a beautifully designed runway. From the opening performances by
Maggie Gabbard, Kevin McCove featuring Royal and The Deltones, down to the finale runway
walk, the event proved to be an extraordinary night.
One of the greatest aspects of the Fall Fashion Event is watching every member’s contributions
and hard work pay off. Event Co-Director, Nicole Pravda, exclaims, “Everything from the
decorations to the new lighting around the stage and the breakdown of the performances with
the runway show was new and exciting for us.” The runway show showcased student models in
clothes featured from Nicole J., South Moon Under, Switch, Ski Bum, Burlington Coat Factory
and Goodwill. Elayne James Salon styled the model’s hair.
The fantasy theme also gathered a lot of positive feedback throughout the UDress community.
Style Editor Jenna Brown states, “I absolutely loved the theme of the magazine and the show! It
allowed a lot of room for new styles and ideas and was just a fresh start to the year in general.”
Seven7, The Hunt, Ross Stores and Burlington Coat Factory had tables set up to network with
students. FFE attendees had their pick of a variety of delicious food options including UD
catering, SAS Cupcakes, Mizu, Bing’s Bakery and Insomnia Cookies.
After being a part of and watching such an incredible Fall Fashion Event, a person can only
think one thing — what’s next? Stay tuned until next fall to see!

Senior SENDOFF
Q: WHEN YOU HEAR THE WORD “FASHION,” WHAT IS THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND?
Jennifer Zacher - Ad Director
A: What I plan to do with the rest of my life.
Nicole Pravda - Event Director
A: When I hear the word “fashion,” the first thing that comes to mind is glamorous people, places, and things. Over the past four
years here I have learned that fashion is everywhere and is not limited to articles of clothing. It is truly a form of art.
Q: HOW WILL YOU USE YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH UDRESS IN THE JOB INDUSTRY?
Morgan Ratner - Editor-in-Chief
A: I’m interested in going into the publishing industry, so I will definitely use my experience to show how I’ve grown as a writer
and editor. I can’t wait to bring the magazine to job interviews and show them all that UDressers have done! Being a leader of
this magazine has certainly given me invaluable skills for the workforce.
Jenna Brown - Style Editor
A: UDress has already helped me in my post-graduate career! Not only have I learned valuable organizational skills and
heightened my creativity, but I have also made so many wonderful connections. In fashion, networking is incredibly valuable and
UDress is a great way to get started in the industry!
Q: WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR YOUNGER AND EVEN UPCOMING UDRESS MEMBERS?
Kaitlyn Fanale - President
A: The advice I have with younger and upcoming UDress members is to jump right in and don’t hesitate. Learn everything you
can because this organization truly shaped my life and I know that it can do great things for so many other people like it did for
me!
Milena Ho - Social Chair
A: Don’t be afraid to jump around teams; not only do you meet more people, but you also get a feel for how a magazine company
is run from various angles. Also, practicing professionalism now with UDress will benefit you in the future.
Henley Cook – Social Media Director
A: Join. Be involved. You will not regret it. UDress has been life-changing for me and has by far been the highlight of my college
experience. You will make amazing memories that you will never forget, as well as learn so much about yourself and what it’s
like to work in the fashion industry.
Q: WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO JOIN UDRESS AND WHICH PART OF THE MAGAZINE DID YOU WANT TO JOIN?
Meredith Castellani - Online Editor
A: Fashion and editorial have always been big passion points for me. I wanted to find a way to get involved on campus, and I
remember hearing about UDress at my Decision Day tour. I joined the online team first semester freshman year and have been
hooked ever since!
Kaitlyn Proske - Model Coordinator
A: UDress was one of the reasons I chose Delaware. I’ve always had an interest in the magazine industry. I didn’t care what I
did or how I was involved with it, I just wanted to a part of UDress. I started on the decorations team and beauty team and I
interviewed for a bunch of positions. I ended up being asked to be the beauty team coordinator and then the model coordinator.
Randi Polizzotto - PR Director
A: I joined UDress because I always wanted to get involved with fashion somehow, but never knew what avenue to take. UDress
was the perfect fit, it was a professional magazine run by students where I could thrive while making friends. I immediately
joined the PR Team as a freshman and have been on it ever since!

As an innovative organization that showcases the creativity and style of
unique and talented UD students, Synergy has been creating a student-
run fashion show for 20 years. The men and women of the organization
have proved time and time again that their designs are fit for a New
York Fashion Week runway, and this year is expected to be no exception.
The club has evolved over the years from just the work of seniors, to
showcasing students in every grade. President, Danielle Civil, said,
“We are totally rebranding the show and our club. We are developing
a new logo and brand to create a more cohesive identity for ourselves.”
Last year’s show was based on classic literature, but this year is
focused on a combination of sustainability and geometry. There
will be 20 senior collections with three to four looks each. There
will also be a collection with all menswear and children’s clothing.
When asked about the organization, Danielle also said, “It’s different
than other clubs on campus because we showcase all student work. The
individuals in the apparel design major are so amazingly talented, so being
able to show the campus and community what we do is incredible.” Faculty
of UD, such as advisors Brenda Shaffer and Adriana Gorea, also play a
huge part in the preparation process. The show uses professional models,
which makes it very realistic to a real-world show setting. The event boasts
about 500 attendees each year, so grab your camera and get your ticket fast!
Keds and Vans: It’s no surprise that these shoes are set to be a spring trend with Taylor Swift wearing and promoting them everywhere! These classic shoes
are great to pair with skater skirts or jeans, and can make any dressy outfit seem more casual and cute.
Heeled Booties:Low heeled booties are perfect for the days that the weather is fickle. When the weather app on the smartphone just doesn’t seem too
assuring, grab these trendy shoes and hit the road ready for any weather conditions. Sometimes it is necessary to keep your feet elevated from rain and snow, either
at music festivals or outside events, and these heels are sure to do the trick. The low top of the boot keeps the feet from getting too warm. A chunky heel also adds a
classy touch. Pair these shoes with skirts and stockings, or tight skinny jeans.
Quirky Fun Flats: Flats have been a staple for years, but have had small changes over time. Trend experts forecast flats fashioned in a totally new way to
arise this spring season, incorporating slits, cut-outs, feathers, straps and buckles.
Color block: Spring 2015 runway styles from the Versace and J.Crew fashion shows both exhibited shoes with blocks of bright and dark hues that create
contrast and pops of color. Color blocks are expected on heels, flats and walking shoes. Depending on the shoe type, this unique footwear is well-paired with
anything from everyday pants and leggings to business casual clothing.
This semester, UDress and the Entrepreneurship
Club shook things up for some aspiring and
ambitious students. The two clubs joined forces and
created a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fashion-
forward students, encouraging participants to
submitacollectionofoutfitstobejudgedbymembers
of the Department of Fashion and Apparel Studies.
The collection had to have featured hand-drawn
sketches of five seasonal outfits. Jordan Gonzalez,
HeadofRecruitmentfortheEntrepreneurshipClub,
stated, “We came up with this competition because
we feel that everyone has an entrepreneurial
mindset, and the first group
that we thought of was
fashion and apparel design.”
The Entrepreneurship Club
worked tirelessly to create the
ultimate prize for the winner
– the opportunity to actually
produce a fashion line based
on the sketches! Not only
would the winner’s designs be
brought to life, but the designs
would also be featured in an
issue of UDress. Alexi Corham,
the winner of the competition,
created a sleek and bold line
that included leather, cashmere
and silk elements. When asked
about her inspiration for her
winning designs, Corham
stated, “With my European
travels in mind, I designed three
looks inspired by autumn and
winter on the streets of Paris.”
This was the first year of
this design competition, and
hopefully not the last. UDress
President, Kaitlyn Fanale,
commented, “We are known as
thefashionmagazineoncampus,
but a lot of our members are not
a part of the fashion school here
at UD. This contest allowed
us to tie back into the fashion
community with the help of
the Entrepreneurship Club.”

As the weather heats up and finals loom, there is one last event many students
on campus look forward to: formal. However, shopping for the perfect outfit is
not everyone’s priority during the most stressful time of year. Check out these
outfit options to make a statement at formal while showing off your own personal
style. Who says you have to give up comfort for fashion? Shift dresses are the
perfect way to look put together and on trend without sacrificing comfort.
Experiment with neckline, sleeve length and beading for different takes on
this breezy and bohemian silhouette. Pair with your favorite wedges and
an envelope clutch and you are ready to dance the night away. If you are
looking to stand out from the crowd, try a matching set. For an edgy look,
pair a body con skirt and high neck crop top with heeled Chelsea boots
and a leather jacket. If you’re looking for a more feminine take, search for
whimsical patterns, skater skirts and nude pumps for a classic polished look.
For guys, try experimenting with suit cut and accessories. Slim cut suits are a sleek
way to make a statement. If you’re going for a more classic look, opt for a grey
slim cut suit, paring it with a black skinny tie and white oxford. Add a statement
watch for a modern and urban vibe. To stay on trend, opt for preppy look with
a patterned bowtie and a pastel button up. Both show off your personal style
and add a fun pop of color without overwhelming the look. Check finding a
formal outfit off your to do list. Whether you’re in Greek life, an RSO or a sport
team, formal is the perfect opportunity to showcase your unique personal style.

UDress is here to teach you how to achieve the
Antonoff aesthetic from head to toe:
STYLE ICON: JACK ANTONOFF
Jack Antonoff is a man who wears many hats — hailing from
the Garden State, he is the lead guitarist of the band fun., a
producer and co-writer on Taylor Swift’s album “1989,” and
Lena Dunham’s boyfriend of HBO Girls fame. However, the
past two years have defined a new era of his life by starting the
music project Bleachers with much critical success. At 31 years
old, Antonoff has become a household name with his hit song “I
Wanna Get Better” emerging as a summertime anthem in 2014.
The “Strange Desire” singer-songwriter has also caught the
attention of the media with his one of a kind style. He channels
his carefree lunchbox days while maintaining his masculinity.
As it turns out, challenging fashion norms runs in the Antonoff
family — he collaborated with his sister and fashion designer,
Rachel Antonoff, to create the merchandise for Bleachers.
When asked about her brother’s style, Rachel says, “It's such
an annoying, cliché thing to say, but in Jack's case it's true: he's
dressing for himself.” Jack goes so far to describe himself as
“a 7-year-old who’s allowed to dress himself for the first time.”
• Chunky stripes are Antonoff’s signature look for his tops.
Go with a bold color, like crimson, and white stripes to
complement your outfit.
• If you choose to go with a button-down shirt, you have to
commit and button it all the way to the top. No exceptions.
• Pay homage to the ‘90s with a solid-color track jacket, making
sure it matches the rest of your outfit.
• Brightly colored chinos are the next step to help you stand out
from the crowd. Be sure to cuff your pants at the bottom to let
your socks peek out.
• Pair high top sneakers like Converse or combat boots with
some funky pattern crew socks to give your outfit character.
• No need for excess accessories; thick-rimmed glasses will take
care of that. However, if you’ve just discovered online shopping
like Antonoff, then check the accessories section of his favorite
store COS.
• Jack Antonoff wears a signature red baseball cap, but make
this your own with any color to add the cherry on top of this
truly Antonoff ensemble.
With the spring semester dwindling down and summer just
around the corner, warmer, sunnier days are here, making it
socially unacceptable to lie in your bed cocoon and watch Neflix
for hours. Good thing there’s plenty of things to do on UD’s
campus once the weather gets better! Before you run off to join
the guys at Home Grown or head out to the reservoir, your
first order of business should be addressing how to look cool
and protect your eyes from the rays. Luckily, UDress’s Men’s
Room has spent the last few months dreaming of basking in the
sun and is here with this season’s hottest styles of sunglasses.
• There’s a reason Ray Bans are
some of the most iconic sunglasses
in the world. With polarized lenses
and lightweight carbon fiber,
they’re high quality, sturdy and
unmistakable. However, Wayfarers
are a bit overdone. To give yourself
an updated, cheery look, check out
Ray Bans’ Clubmasters instead.
Sold at South Moon Under and
Switch.
• With a retro Hollywood feel, these
polarized Arcolux shades from
Electric Vision are sure to be a
new favorite. Italian made and
stainless steel hinges assure us
they’ll hold up for years to come.
Coming in five different colors,
there’s a pair for every style. Sold
at Switch.
• Designed to wear comfortably
all day and still sport your style,
Smith Mastermind Shades are
perfect for outdoor activities. They
feature nose and temple pads as
well as a wider frame for added eye
protection. Sold at Switch.

From sea to shining sea, you’re
sure to find a music festival to
suit your interests. America
the beautiful has locations
ranging from California and
Tennessee to our very own
Delaware boasting incredible
lineups. With festivals
featuring big names like Paul
McCartney, The Weeknd and
Zedd, it’s all too tempting
to attend one (or all)! No
matter where you hear your
favorite artists this summer,
one thing is guaranteed: the
heat. The weather may leave
you wondering what to wear,
but there’s no need to sacrifice
your comfort for style — you
can have both!

Music festivals such as Made
in America, which takes place
in Philadelphia, come with
a given dress code — red,
white and blue everything.
Experiment with a Bohemian
look by trying a poncho
covered with geometric
patterns. Opt for wool: it’s
more breathable than cotton
in those sweltering conditions
and you’ll be protected against
the rain and wind. Throw
the poncho over some ripped
denim cutoffs and to complete
this festival-goer look, try a
straw hat on for size.

If you find yourself at
Lollapalooza in the windy
city of Chicago, no need to
fear — street style is welcome
here. You may find yourself
in a midst of guys in bucket
hats, sports jerseys and khaki
shorts, but standing out is the
fun of music festivals. Embrace
florals with a sophisticated top
and pair it with mini pastel
shorts. Finish this look with a
pair of round frame sunglasses
and you’ll really give others
something to look at.

Delaware is home to the
Firefly Music Festival, where
many UD students will soak
up the sun this summer. Beat
the heat with flannels; they’re
an easy go-to because you
can always take them off and
tie them around your waist
depending on the weather. For
inspiration, look up Austin
Butler who knows the tricks to
dressing sensibly and stylishly
for music festivals. Style has
evolved since Woodstock, and
now it is our duty to carry
on these fashions for the
generations to come!

College is the final frontier of boyhood — once graduated, you
finally have to face the truth: you are an actual adult man.
Once you make it through the five stages of grief from denial
to acceptance, it’s important to know how to dress like the man
you now are. Between formals, job interviews, graduating and
getting a job, it’s imperative to find a professional and stylish
suit.
The first step is making sure you have the right fit because no
one wants to walk around looking like Tom Hanks at the end of
Big. First things first: it’s all about the shoulders. Go down one
size in the width of your shoulders and tailor your jacket at the
waist. Length is also important. A suit jacket that’s too long will
make you appear shorter, so make sure the hem hits right above
the pants pockets. Pants that bunch up around your shoes look
sloppy; they should be cuffed or hemmed to end right at the top
of your shoes.
Once your suit fits properly, it’s time to pick a fashionable style
and texture. Four big trends this past awards season were all
black ensembles, blues, grays and velvet. If these trends aren’t
for you, it’s always appropriate to go with a classic.
SUIT UP
GROWING PAINS
Ditch the boring buzz cut or monotonous man-bangs and grow your hair
to its full potential! Long hair on guys is definitely a growing trend, and
it’s a great way to showcase your personality. Taking part in this trend
may seem like a big commitment, but you don’t have to grow all out —
there are plenty of routes your roots can take.
Short-Sided
Reluctant to go all the way? Keep the sides short and focus on growing
out the top. This style is incredibly accessible for both straight and curly
locks. Freshman criminal justice major, Akhilesh Patel, is a former victim
of boring hair. “I had the short hairstyle in high school and it was horrible;
this hairstyle actually boosts my confidence.” Patel maintains his hair by
conditioning it every two to three days to keep it smooth and either “poofing
up the front a bit” with a hairdryer or using hair wax and combing it to the
side.
Free Trial
Ready to make a commitment but don’t want it to be long-term relationship?
Take a cue from junior accounting and MIS major, Alec Lorenzo. With
naturally curly hair, Lorenzo describes his hair as a ‘fro and grew it out to
cut off and donate at UDance this spring. Missed UDance? Plenty of other
organizations, such as Locks of Love, will accept hair donations. While his
hair is still long, Lorenzo styles it by picking it out for a daytime look or
taming it to go out at night with thick-hair gel.
CinnaMAN Buns
Up for plunging hair first into the ultimate long hair trend? The thought
of full man bun glory might grow on you! Man buns are incredibly low
maintenance. On his ‘do, junior food science major, John Micklos, says,
“As far as styling goes, I just wake up and put it up.” To keep birds from
confusing your bun with their nest, wash and condition every two to three
days and brush out tangles regularly. Despite the ease of style and indie
rock star vibe, there are few UD students rocking the look. It’s up to you,
UDress readers, to remedy this problem!
All Black Everything – Pairing your black suit with a black
shirt, vest and tie is a surefire way to look like the mysterious
and sexy bad boy.
Gray Days – A light gray is crucial for sunny summer months.
Meanwhile, a dashing slate gray is always appropriate and
stands out amongst the typical black suits.
Bold Blues – Blue suits covered the red carpet this past awards
season. Eddie Redmayne even accepted the Oscar for Best
Actor in a navy Alexander McQueen tux. A brighter blue can be
fun and funky, while a suave navy is an essential staple in any
man’s collection.
Velveteen Dream – Definitely the most daring suit trend is the
velvet jacket. Though necessary to be dry-cleaned, no one will
be able to resist your velvety teddy bear exterior.
Class Act – A solid gray or black two-button suit with a white
shirt and a simple tie is the perfect balance between old-school
glamour and timeless vintage.
beer 101:
intro to brews
ALL ABOUT ALES
Ales are normally fermented at higher temperatures for a
shorter period. They have a stronger flavor and vary in color.
Pale ales and Indian Pale Ales, or IPAs, contain more hops and
are lighter in color due to using paler malt. While similar in
most aspects, IPAs are usually more bitter in flavor. Brewed
with amber malt, amber ales are medium-bodied and vary
greatly in taste. Darker in color and brewed with brown
malt, porters and stouts are typically heavier ales. Stouts are
essentially stronger porters with a sweet flavor and aroma.
LET’S TALK LAGERS
Lagers are fermented for a longer period at lower temperatures
so they have a smoother taste.
Pilsners are pale in color, have the lowest alcohol content and
are very bubbly, while bocks are traditionally sweeter and very
strong. Reminiscent of coffee, dunkels are German lagers that
are darker, smooth and malty.
STAY LOCAL
Two great breweries, DuClaw and Dogfish Head, are right
in our backyard. DuClaw Brewing Company has brewpub
locations in Hanover, Bel Air, Bowie and Baltimore, MD.
In the great state of Delaware, Dogfish Head has a pub in
Rehoboth and a distillery in Milton, DE.
In recent years, beer has been evolving way past the basic
30-packs of Bud, Keystone or Coors typically seen in stores. A
wholenewsubculturehasemergedfocusedonbrewingcreative
and unusual beers, focused more on taste and variety than
its mainstream counterparts. Simply walking by the Delaware
Growler on Main Street is proof of the immense variety and
demand for craft beers available right now. However, being
faced with all those options may be overwhelming. Luckily,
UDress is here to help. The key to learning the ways of the
brew is to know there are two main types: ales and lagers.
PERFECT PAIRINGS
IAN COSGROVE, SENIOR, ENGLISH:
“I’m a huge fan of big IPA’s, so loaded with hops. My favorite
pairing is probably a Dogfish 60 Minute and fish tacos with
something spicy on them. The mildness of the fish plus the
spicy aspect works really well with the hops in the beer.”
BECCA RAWHEISER, JUNIOR,
SOCIOLOGY AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE:
“When I’m feeling adventurous, I go for DuClaw’s Chocolate
Peanut Butter Porter.”
NEIL HARTIGAN, SENIOR, ENGLISH:
“A beer that I really like is Leinenkugel’s summer shandy.
It’s a mix of beer and lemonade; great to drink outside by
a pool, at the beach or on a patio. That’s really good with
anything on the grill, especially grilled chicken, roasted
peppers and a baked potato.”
JONATHAN MORALES, JUNIOR, APPLIED NUTRIRION:
“Yuengling and Chinese food.”
Now that you’ve been schooled in the language of ales
and lagers, you’ll no longer have to suffer through boring
macrobrews, and be filled with a newfound confidence in
ordering adventurous beers. Gone are the days of choosing
your craft beer based on its cool name or the picture on
the six-pack. UDress reminds all readers to only drink
responsibly over the legal age of 21 and NEVER drink and
drive.

better
with
age
Some classic designers, like fine wines, only get
better with age. The fashion world is changing and
evolving at such an incredibly fast rate that it can
be difficult to keep up. Many designers struggle to
stay true to their original visions while still staying
relevant. Some designers, however, withstand
the test of time and prove that age really is just a
number. Betsey Johnson, Diane Von Furstenberg
and Roberto Cavalli are a few of the greats who are
continuing to make an impact to this day.
Diane Von Furstenberg stays true to her design
style while also evolving to meet the needs of
the changing consumer. Her iconic wrap dress,
first introduced in 1974, is still a staple piece for
many women today. The famed dress is currently
on display in the Costume Institute in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. Over the past 30
years, Diane Von Furstenberg has stuck true to her
roots and her timeless designs will continue to be
influential in the lives of women for years to come.
Since the late ‘60s, Betsey Johnson has been
making her mark on the fashion world. At the age
of 72, she continues to bring youthful exuberance
and fun to fashion by closing her runway shows
with cartwheels. Her designs have always been
over-the-top, as she experiments with fun prints
and embellishments to make her pieces unique.
Betsey Johnson believes that fashion is a like a
game of dress up, and she reflects this idea in her
whimsical designs. She still constantly evolves her
vision to keep with the ever-changing pace of the
fashion world and will surely be a leading designer
for years to come.
Roberto Cavalli is a classic designer who’s been
in the fashion world for quite a while. The
Italian native got his start designing textiles
and created a patent for producing leather in the
1970s. From there, his brand expanded into an
international success including clothing for men,
women and children as well as shoes, handbags
and accessories. By experimenting with different
textiles, denim and patchwork techniques, Cavalli
keeps his designs fresh and continues to create
timeless staple pieces for consumers around the
world.
The fashion world is an ever-changing
environment. While some designers come and go as
trends change, others establish themselves as true
classics.
Fashion’s newest “it” girls are no strangers
to the industry. The Hadid sisters — Gigi,
19, and Bella, 18 — are the daughters of
former model Yolanda Foster. After moving
to New York City to follow in the footsteps
of their mother, the girls have made a name
for themselves in the fashion world. But
what is so intriguing about this modeling
duo? Although close in age, these two sisters
have very different looks. While Gigi’s style
is California girl-next-door, Bella’s is a bit
edgier. They both have contracts with IMG
models and have recently been tearing up the
runwaysindesignercouture,buttheircasual-
cool street styles are just as noteworthy.

In addition to recently being named the
new face of Maybelline, Gigi has already
graced the pages of Vogue and walked in
numerous runway shows — Chanel, Dolce
& Gabbana and Michael Kors, just to name
a few. Despite her high-fashion success,
she has not abandoned her timeless, girl-
next-door style. You can spot Gigi sporting
classic, romantic pieces with a twist. Ripped
skinny jeans, neutral over-sized sweaters
and eye-catching accessories are staples
for this L.A. golden girl. Make her style
your own by pairing a cool jumpsuit and
heels with a sleek blazer and a geometric
necklace. Add a swirl of bronzer and a touch
of natural makeup to get Gigi’s beachy glow.
The younger Hadid sister has also had her
fair share of runway success, walking in the
Tom Ford show at New York Fashion Week.
Bella, often described as an edgy brunette,
frequently dons chic, all-black ensembles
and vintage Levi’s paired with a bomber
jacket. Emulate her style by rocking a pair of
high waisted, black skinny jeans with a basic
tee, leather jacket and converse sneakers.
Whether they are strutting their stuff
on the catwalk or sporting their off-
duty street style, the Hadid sisters are
undeniably a force to be reckoned with.

metal maiden
Re-worked metal is making its way
into being the next big thing —
jewelry. Metal is extremely durable
and now people are inventing new
ways to utilize these old pieces.
Instead of discarding timeworn
items, recycle them into something
else. A variety of things can be made
out of oxidized metal including
rings, bracelets and necklaces. Some
use old coins as pendants, scraps
of metal for statement bracelets or
silverware as rings. Adding a piece
of metal-worked jewelry to your
collection can give a vintage, unique
feel to your outfit. Many have even
totally transformed everyday items
into something amazing. These
crafty pieces can be funky or classic
and add a little something extra to
your wardrobe.
Interested in getting a quirky
piece of jewelry like this? This
style is popping up all over sites
like Etsy and Fancy. Want a low
cost alternative? Look no further
than around the house. The whole
purpose is to recycle metal that is
no longer used to make something
one of a kind. Put your other
basic bracelets and plain rings
back in your jewelry box and opt
for something distinctive with an
antique feel that’s completely you.
From baggy overalls to sky-high platform shoes, everything was bigger in the ‘90s — except for backpacks. Mini backpacks first made
their way into the fashion scene shortly afterAlicia Silverstone’s character in Clueless rocked one. Now, the beloved tiny bag is making
a comeback as a must-have accessory for the spring. It’s the perfect alternative to the purse that you usually toss over your shoulder.
A playful take on a well-used accessory, the mini backpack comes in handy for carrying essentials with ease. These
mini packs can be found in a variety of trendy prints, with studs or simple sleek leather. Though these bags come
in a wide range of sizes, they always add an extra punch of style to any outfit. Wear this versatile accessory with
simple jeans and a t-shirt for a casual look, or pants and a blazer for something classier. Dive back into the ‘90s with
this practical accessory and add a whole new dimension to your wardrobe. It’s sure to become your new favorite bag!

reporTOn the Fringe
Think fringe only belongs in old western movies or a
Fitzgerald novel? Well, think again! Many designers
have made a statement with fringe on Spring 2015
runways. Designers like Elie Tahari, Proenza Schouler
and Koonhor embraced the free-spirited trend and
have taken the bohemian route by showing flowing
dresses that will transport you back to the ‘70s.
Western inspired dresses, coats and pants adorned
with fringe have all made their mark on runways.
A trend that had once signified themed parties has
received a high fashion makeover. If wearing a full-
length fringe covered evening gown is a little much
for you, the look can be toned down and made more
wearable. Try a funky fringe jacket with jeans and
boots for an effortless look or try pairing a fringed
dress with a flowy cardigan for an effortless boho effect.
The Cold Shoulder
One-shouldered tops are making a huge comeback
this season. The Spring 2015 runways overflowed with
asymmetrical style tops and dresses in unique patterns.
Designers like Ralph Lauren, Tome and Tanya Taylor
all showcased bare shoulders at their respective shows.
These designers showed one-shouldered tops in wild
mismatched prints and deep jewel tones. This trend
is incredibly wearable for the upcoming spring and
summer seasons; it would be prefect for a casual date or
a girl’s night out! The one-shoulder look has always been
a popular style for dresses, but try out an asymmetrical
blouse for a change of pace. Pair a top with dark
jeans and wedges for a great going out look. Consider
unique accessories like an arm cuff to complement the
shirt. Look for one-shouldered tops in floral prints or
bright colors to achieve a similar look to those shown
on the runways — don’t be afraid to get creative!
White-Out
This spring, get back to the basics by adding more white
to your wardrobe. This one-color trend is popping up on
many of this spring’s runways collections, showing that
you don’t always need bold color to make a statement.
A color that usually isn’t given much thought will
soon be taking over your wardrobe. Try this style in
an all-white suit designed by Ralph Lauren, or go
for a little white dress as seen at Jonathan Simkhai.
Every article of clothing has been bleached by this
color. If you are worried about wearing too much white,
just pair your blanched outfits with bright jewelry
or shoes. To dress up your look for a more business
appropriate style, add a structured blazer. The white
background gives you a blank canvas for piling on the
funky accessories. Brighten up your wardrobe and
look effortless while rocking a whitened ensemble.
Check It Out
Judy Garland’s famed Wizard of Oz dress is back and
better than ever just in time for spring. Gingham’s
runway revival, courtesy of designers such as Michael
Kors, Diane von Furstenberg and Karen Walker, is
fit for the modern woman. The designers’ collections
offer a range of checked styles. While the Michael
Kors and Diane von Furstenberg collections both
played up the print in bright colored, A-line and baby-
doll dresses, Oscar de la Renta presented an edgier
interpretation with oversized checks on midriff-baring
tops and chic coats. Both sweet and sophisticated,
gingham is a print that everyone can wear.
Make gingham go glam by pairing the print with
a pencil skirt or sleek black trousers. Want a
more traditional take? A gingham shirtdress is
perfect for spring! Whether traditional or modern,
you cannot go wrong with this long-loved print.

fashion joins The fight for
Look down any city street at any given time and you’ll find fashion inspiration. Lately, notable fashion bloggers like Leandra
Medine of “Man Repeller” and Olivia Palermo have been making waves in the world of street style. Each blogger flaunts a unique
style that many viewers aspire to achieve.
Leandra Medine, the genius behind “Man Repeller,” a quirky fashion blog that celebrates individuality, is widely known for
taking risks with her unique outfits. She stresses utility and comfort while still expressing a sense of individuality. She often
wears contemporary cut dresses from designers like Rosie Aussoulin or tomboyish outfits from Elizabeth & James. While she
understands the practicality of her fashion choices, she also knows not to take it too seriously. To emulate her look, try modern
cut blouses from Grassroots and pair them with jeans and loafers. Take as many fashion risks as possible: layer up on sweaters,
mix prints and be confident in your own personal style!
On the more reserved end of the street style spectrum, fashion and lifestyle blogger Olivia Palermo always looks refined and
poised. Although she often takes fashion risks and will experiment with mixing prints, her overall style is carefully thought
out. She is often perched front row at fashion week wearing ladylike dresses and classic heels from designers like Dior. Take
inspiration from Palermo’s style by looking for feminine pieces like tea length skirts or blouses in muted colors. For accessories,
keep it simple with modest pearl earrings or a delicate gold necklace.
Leandra Medine and Olivia Palermo are only two examples of women who have taken the fashion world by storm through
street style. Viewers of their blogs look to them for daily outfit inspiration and ideas. Medine and Palermo both reflect their
personalities through their wardrobe choices for the world to see.
Ninety women strutted in unison carrying signs proclaiming feminist slogans such as,
“Ladies First,” “Be Your Own Stylist” and “Women’s Rights Are More Than Alright”. Two
led the lineup, carrying megaphones while Chaka Kahn’s “I’m Every Women” played in
the background — a feminist street protest for the books. This was not just any street
protest. This was the Karl Lagerfeld Chanel Spring 2015 show at Paris Fashion Week.
Lagerfeld’s ready-to-wear collection epitomized street style — from edgy leather to
sophisticated tweed, each look promoted individuality and encouraged women to dress
exactly how they want to dress.
Lagerfeld’s feminist fashion display comes on the heels of Emma Watson’s “He for She”
United Nations address. The British star has served as the face of Burberry and Chanel
and has evolved into a style icon for women everywhere. Emma’s effortless, timeless
style reflects the feminist ideals that she so eloquently conveyed in her speech. In her
U.N. address, she urged that the time for gender-equality is now. The “He for She”
campaign generated media buzz and prompted other young stars to lend their voices to
the cause.
More and more feminist style icons have been pushing the envelope. At the 2015
Golden Globes, Lorde, an avid supporter of women’s rights, turned heads in her Narciso
Rodriguez pantsuit and crop top ensemble. This bold demonstration was not entirely
unexpected from the 18-year-old pop star who has rocked the menswear look before.
Challenging the status-quo of floor-length ball gowns, Lorde confidently proved that
women should not hold themselves to any established standard. Lorde’s one-of-a-kind
style echoes the messages conveyed by both Emma Watson and the Chanel street
protest: fashion is a vehicle for feminism. You too can join the movement. Dare to be
bold, and, as stated in Emma Watson’s address, “to ask yourself if not me, who? If not
now, when?”
The time for feminist fashion is now.

creamy Natural
what’s in your water?
Every now and then, it’s nice to spice up your average early morning cup of Joe with fancy coffee creamers. There’s everything from
caramel to even your favorite Girl Scout cookie, but did you know that those magically delicious bursts of flavor are chock full of
unhealthy and equally unpronounceable ingredients?
Not only do creamers include unhealthy ingredients, but they can also get pretty pricey. To avoid the calories and the cost, you can
make creamers right in your kitchen. DIY recipes call for simple ingredients that can be found in the fridge, so there’s no need to
spend extra cash at the store. If low cost isn’t a good enough reason, making your own mixes allows you to know exactly what is going
into your morning brew, and thus into your body.
Unfortunately, not all of us are as handy with a coffee as a Starbucks barista, so making your own creamers may sound like a difficult
task. In reality, most recipes are so simple that you can create a flavorful concoction within minutes! So the next time you go to add a
sugary mix to your morning pick-me-up, weigh your options and remember this healthy alternative:
Vanilla Coffee Creamer:
1 can (14 oz) fat free sweetened condensed milk
1.5 cups fat free milk
2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions:
Combine ingredients and shake vigorously. Do not consume after a week has passed.

What if we told you there’s a way to make your water a little less
boring? Let’s face it – no one actually chooses water over another
drink because of the taste. Adding a few simple ingredients not only
improves the taste of your water, but also rejuvenates your body, flushes
out toxins and, of course, keeps you super hydrated throughout your
busy college days! Here are a few of our favorite water detox recipes:

Vitamin C from each fruit in this
citrusy drink gives your body an
antiviral and anti-inflammatory
boost. Guess who won’t be catching
that cold that’s spreading through
campus like wildfire?
Fat Flusher
1 slice of grapefruit
1/2 cucumber
1 tangerine
2 peppermint leaves
Vitamin C does more than strengthen
immunity — it turns fat into fuel.
Tangerine stabilizes blood sugar and
stimulates fatburning genes. Cucumber
helps you feel full and prevents bloating,
while the refreshing mint aids digestion
and calms the stomach.
Blemish Be Gone
1/2 apple
5 sliced strawberries
1/2 lemon
Strawberries contain anti-aging
properties, while the antioxidants in
lemon repair damaged skin cells as well
as help clear and prevent blemishes.
The ascorbic acid in apples synthesizes
collagen to improve the overall look of
your skin.
You can also mix up your own detox creation — the combinations are endless, and your water
will definitely never get boring. Both your body and your taste buds will thank you!

YOUR HAIR OPTIONS
So what’s the best part about having natural hair? Amanda Baggett, sophomore human services major, says
the “thickness and versatility.” A person can do so much with natural hair, from crochet braids to a braided
crown and a frohawk, to name a few. You can also wear protective hair styles such as box braids, Marley twists,
Senegalese twists or full or partial weave. Protective styles are a great way to let your hair grow and are perfect
for when extreme weather makes hair hard to manage during the summer and winter months.
HAIR CARE
Depending on your hairstyle, you should moisturize, comb and style your hair daily. Detangle before and
during a wash and section hair to make styling easier. You should also try to keep your hair away from heat
so it can grow to be long and healthy. Moisture is your best friend so deep condition every once in a while
washing. Also remember to seal your hair with a satin scarf before going to bed, or sleep on a satin pillowcase.
Shea Butter works miracles for dry hair, and a great detangling product can save both your length and curls. An
edge control will keep your style in place all day long, while a curling soufflé will keep your curls bouncy. In the
end, no matter your hair type or length, remember to do what feels right for you because your hair is flawless!
endless hair, Endless Possibilities
Natural hair may seem super trendy, but it’s always been in!
Whether you’re on the verge of going natural, transitioning
or you’re already fully natural, it’s important to remember
that no matter what stage you’re in, hair care is essential.

Taylor Swift wasn’t the only one talking about blank spaces this year.
Spring 2015 runways were all about incorporating them into their lines.
This new beauty trend is pretty much the cutout dress of the nail world.
The look first came on the scene during Fashion Week on the runways
of Creatures of Comfort, Charlotte Ronson and many other designers.
This trend doesn’t require much skill and can add a pop to any outfit!
Add to this look by playing with different colors and patterns.
You can paint your nails with straight lines, curved edges, star and
box patterns. Feel free to play with light and primary colors for
long spring days, or darker colors for those cool summer nights.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
Any color nail polish you would like
A ridgefilling base
A glossy topcoat
Nail art tape
1) Prep your nails. The condition of your nails is important
with this style, so apply a nail strengthener for nails that are
easier to work with.
2) Once the base is dry, apply the nail art tape in the graphic
shape of your choice.
3) Paint over each nail, with your chosen color(s), leaving a
space in your nail.
4) Focus on one nail at a time and apply a second coat of the
chosen color(s) and remove the tape, protecting the blank part
of your nail. Repeat this step on all fingers.
5) Clean around your cuticles for perfectly clean lines.
6) Apply a nice topcoat over all nails for protection and shine.
7) Enjoy your new, trendy nails!
Runway to Reality:
Negative Space Nails

Take a moment and reflect on your childhood. What
comes to mind? Running around the playground at
recess? Trying to color inside the lines? While these are
the types of memories most kids have, others aren’t so
lucky. Realizing this, two ordinary college students took
the initiative to help these kids and have never looked
back.
Zachary Quinn and Brian Keller, who met in their
entrepreneurship class at the University of St. Thomas
in 2012, both felt like something was missing in
their lives and were searching for a way to make a
difference. That year, their mission of improving the
lives of children battling cancer began with their new
foundation, Love Your Melon.
This non-profit organization provides hats to kids going
through the difficult cancer treatment process. They sell
a variety of products on their website for both children
and adults including beanies, cuffed hats, baseball caps,
scarves, shirts, leather patches and canvas bags. All
items are made in the United States and range from
$30.00 to $40.00. For every product purchased, another
is given to a child with cancer.
Fashion Fights Back:
Love Your Melon
By Kristen Turner
While their “buy one, give one” approach has inspired
many, Zachary and Brian don’t stop there. The
foundation they created takes kids out of the hospital
to go on helicopters, planes, boats, limo rides and other
exciting adventures. The goal is to restore the quality of
life that chemo, radiation and surgery take away. This
gives the members of the foundation an opportunity to
get to know the kids personally and learn more about
what they can do to make a difference in their lives.
The foundation has spread its message of hope all
across the country traveling from city to city selling and
donating thousands of hats. Love Your Melon has high
school and college ambassador programs consisting
of over 900 students nationwide and singer Jessica
Simpson, YouTube stars Megan and Liz and gymnast
McKayla Maroney have all shown support for this
amazing cause.
Quinn, the president of the organization, says, “Helping
others is the most important thing someone can do
in their life and many people don’t know that they’re
capable of it.” Get a hat. Give a hat. That’s a pretty easy
way to make the world a better place, don’t you think?
REAL WIDE WORLD
Women of the world have struggled and overcome obstacles since the beginning
of time in the fight for gender equality. Although much progress has been
made, what inequalities and stigmas are left between men and women have
shifted to a form of discrimination that has women paying more for who they
are. Methods including the “pink tax” and roof-raising prices for women’s plus-
sized clothing is proving to the world that it really does pay to be a woman.
“Pink Tax”
We all know about income tax, state tax and the tax on our restaurant bill that makes
splitting the check so difficult, but what about pink tax? “Pink tax,” also known as
gender pricing, is a form of gender discrimination that results in higher costs for
feminine products and services.
According to Forbes Magazine, women spend over $1,400 in extra costs and fees
each year on products and services that are marketed specifically towards women.
Surprisingly, today in the United States there are no federal laws against gender
discrimination in the sales of goods and services, meaning that the products women
want will continue to cost extra. Products like women’s razors, shampoo and pain
medications are proven to all cost up to 50 percent more than the same version
marketed for men, according to Consumer Reports. Companies are using bright colors
and catchy phrases to make products more female oriented, and women today are
continuing to pay for it.

Plus-Size Prices
Reasonably, there are many services that women choose to spend more on because
they often have more to maintain to keep up with the Jones’. That being said, the
cost of dry cleaning blouses (which is on average $2.00 more per shirt for women) and
purchasing clothing to fit all body types should not. Today women’s plus-sized clothing
retail prices are on average much higher than the price of plus-sized men’s clothing,
although there are very few fair reasons why.
Plus-sized clothing pricing has been controversial for a long time due to the backlash
companies received when they priced plus-sized clothing higher than regular women’s
clothing, giving off the assumption that being plus-sized had a negative connotation.
Today companies are more sensitive to this pricing and the controversy now involves
brands that charge more for plus-sized women’s clothing compared to plus-sized men’s
clothing.
Society today has become more accepting of women’s bodies in all shapes and sizes,
which is unfortunately being contradicted by brands who aren’t reflecting that
mindset in their costs. Old Navy has been in the spotlight recently because of their
higher priced women’s plus-sized clothing that is on average $10.00-$15.00 more than
the price of clothing for “big” men. Pricing this clothing higher to cover the cost of
manufacturing the clothing is understandable, but why aren’t they charging the same
for men?
Gender equality is an uphill battle that has seen great progress, but also setbacks.
Charging women more because of their gender is demonstrating that although society
has come a long way, the price is still not right.
The Price
of
Femininity

When scrolling through your Instagram feed, you
probably see the same types of posts over and over again:
your friends smiling by the bar on a Saturday night,
celebrities walking the red carpet, “selfies.” Some users,
however, have taken this opportunity to show off their
amazing photography skills and have used this platform
to present artwork of various subjects to people around
the globe.
Adam Senatori (@adamsenatori) is a pilot from
Wisconsin who uses his profession to take breathtaking
aerial shots while soaring through the clouds. He’s
captured everything from hot springs in Iceland and
the islands of Hawaii to skyscrapers in New York and
farmland in Wyoming.
If you’re into street art, Brooklyn Street Art
(@bkstreetart) writes in their bio that they are, “Leading
a conversation about art in the streets in NYC and
worldwide.” Photographs of giant murals and subway
station paintings are found on their account.
A seasoned photographer, Theron Humphrey
(@thiswildidea) has taken photos for National
Geographic, CNN and People Magazine. Although
his experiences are piled high, he uses his Instagram
account to display a collection of photos of him and
his best friend, Maddie the Coonhound, taking on
adventures together from Tennessee to Mexico.
A teenage feminist and blogger, Jules Spector
(@jules.spector), uses this platform to share her ideals
with others. Mixed in with the typical photos of a
14-year-old girl, she shares her experiences of meeting
activist Malala Yousafzai and traveling to the White
House to attend conventions on women’s rights.
People love to share their lives on social media and
artistically recreate their reality for others through
Instagram. However, these users have shown that
it can truly be a platform for substance as well as a
new medium for art. Besides the copious amounts of
“selfies,” Instagram has become a virtual place to share
stories and spread awareness of issues around the globe
through just a single image — with or without a filter.
Not Just For
Selfies By Kristen Turner
Think back to the world just five years ago when taxis
were just yellow cars and the bank was where you went
for all your money. People say change is inevitable,
but did they know that our phones would soon be
replacing our traditions? Phone applications are making
everything we do easier and easier, and are eliminating
the need for older conventions in our lives.
Applications like Uber and Venmo are designed to make
our lives simpler and more convenient, but they’re
taking away American staples. Uber is a car service app
that allows you to tell the driver where you’d like to be
picked up, see how soon it will arrive and pay for the
fare, all on your phone. This app has taken major cities
by storm and is known to be more convenient, affordable
and safer than traditional taxis. Venmo, another popular
app, is designed to make paying each other easy and
cash free. This app connects to your bank account and
allows you to notify others on what they owe you or vice
versa.
Conventions are changing shape even for the most
modern of ideas. Our access to fashion sources like
runway shows in major cities and celebrity style is the
most accessible it has ever been. The app Chic Feed, for
example, allows users to view street style from all over
the world. Instead of seeking it out in far away places,
style inspiration is at the touch of your fingers.
Even the norm for dating is evolving to a purely virtual
experience. Although online dating may not be new, apps
like Tinder are introducing a new way to meet people
and get the ball rolling. With a swipe of your finger,
one can instantly rate another person’s appearance and
potentially begin contacting them.

The world as we see it today is a far reach from the
world we lived in a few years ago. The way we used
to do things is changing all from the glow of our
phone screens. From transportation to the dating
scene, applications are continuing to instill new ways
of thinking, change expectations and inspire future
traditions.

A Little Party
Never Killed
Nobodyby Leah Rodriguez
Imagine sneaking through alleys in the dead of night,
looking for a certain stranger lurking in a corner. A few
knocks and a password will get you into your destination
for the night. Prohibition was in full swing as the 1920’s
rage on. During this decade, there was a nationwide ban
on alcohol, pushing people underground leading to an all
time high in alcohol consumption. Yet these underground
havens for illegal drinking brought people from different
ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds under the same
roof for the sake of a night out without rules or regulations.
Today, in major cities like New York, Los Angeles and
London, the speakeasy is making a comeback, Prohibition
style. Graduate student, Chris Castillo, a frequenter
of “The Speakeasy,” the University of Delaware’s
graduate student meeting place, believes that it’s the
change of pace and alternative atmosphere to normal
clubs and bars that makes the rise in speakeasy’s so
popular. He went on to describe another local speakeasy
above Catherine Rooney’s restaurant in Wilmington
called Hummingbird to Mars. Like “Speakeasy,” there
are 1920’s themed decorations placed throughout
the rooms. Castillo says, “[Hummingbird to Mars]
has plush seating and classic décor. The bartender
makes these really interesting drinks — combinations
you wouldn’t necessarily find at a normal bar.”
Perhaps the intrigue of speakeasies lies in the pursuit
of getting to a destination with a bit of a chase. This
bar experience can involve wandering through back
alleys, dodging looks of guarded curiosity and finding a
secret doorway only heard of through word of mouth. In
a hidden room the theme of a clandestine night out on
the town continues with drinks served in paper bags and
teacups. See for yourself a new type of bar that will make
anyone feel as though they’re back in the roaring ‘20s
amidst a party that might even make Jay Gatsby jealous.
UDress reminds all readers to only drink responsibly over the
legal age of 21 and NEVER drink and drive.

An Au Pair
by Sarah Coonin
Babysitting may just seem like a part time job
to make some extra money during the school
year, but what if it could be your full time job
in any country in the world? Cue the au pair,
a full time domestic assistant that comes to
live and work with a family often in a foreign
country. An au pair, meaning, “equal to” in
French, is not just a glorified babysitter, but
also an important part of a family’s daily life.
Au pairs are generally within the age range of
late teens to late twenty-something’s and are
popular to find in European households. Lindsay
Fishman, a senior elementary education major,
spent the last summer as a full time au pair in
Spain. According to Fishman, the language
barriers between the au pair and the children
in the household got in the way. “Overall, I
enjoyed being around the kids in my house and
being a source of fun for them, but sometimes
we couldn’t understand one another and that
became difficult.” Au pair websites match people
up with host families and are responsible for
multiple background checks to make sure that
both parties are going to be happy and safe in
their environments. Fishman explains that the
experiencewasrewardingespeciallybecauseofthe
travel opportunity, “I wanted to take advantage of
living in Spain so I traveled as much as possible.”
Living in a new country for months may sound
intimidating, but once immersed in a family that
feels like home, it’s an experience worth taking.
A Beauty Pageant Contestant
by Leah Rodriguez
They wake up with a routine: class, gym and
on to a rigorous cycle of preparation for the
upcoming months, setting goals for each day as
they get closer to the completion date. A beauty
pageant contestant is committed, devoting
most of her time to the next event in which she
will participate. For seniors Amanda Debus
and Mikaila Ryan, this rigorous schedule has
become the norm, yet neither can imagine what
life would be like without participating in these
events. The sense of community found within
pageant life leads to a world of opportunity
that many young women don’t have access to.
Although this may be true, many stereotypes
surround the world of beauty pageants. Some
believe their purposes are arcane, serving little
purpose for women. Mikaila doesn’t see these
stereotypes, saying, “Each contestant chooses a
platform, an organization that makes a significant
positive change in the community.” She believes
that people realize the impact contestants make
with their community service work, becoming
passionate advocates for various platforms.
On the other hand, Amanda debunks these myths
when she encounters them, stressing the fact that
competitors work for more than just the crown
and title. Contestants want to earn scholarship
money, build their platforms and perform their
talents. Both ladies stress that these women often
enter into the workforce with positions that will
make a difference in the world. Mikaila describes
it as an overwhelmingly positive experience,
something that has exposed her to multitudes of
people and organizations. Despite the stereotypes
they might be labeled with, these ladies
prove there is much more than meets the eye.
A YouTuber
by Kristen Turner
It used to take a lot of hard work and quite a bit of luck
to make your name known in the real world. You needed
serious talent and even that wasn’t enough. Today, people
are becoming celebrities with just one thing — a webcam.
Jenna Marbles, Tyler Oakley and Zoella are just a few
namesthathavemadeitbigintheworldofYouTubebutone
subjectthat’sboominginpopularityisbeautyandmake-up.
Sara Bean (beautythecheaperway), a junior nursing
major, started her beauty channel at the end of her senior
year of high school. “I decided to start a beauty channel
because I have always loved makeup, clothes and hair,
but I knew the career I was going into would not give
me much creative ability with these things,” she said.
She started the channel as a hobby but now profits and
even gets recognized in public. She loves sharing deals
on products that she has discovered with her thousands
of viewers. “Instead of having 2,600 subscribers, it
feels like I have 2,600 friends from all over the world!”
Ashley Little (ALittleMakeupXX), a junior fashion
merchandising major, just recently started her beauty
channel on YouTube. After years of watching famous
beauty gurus, she finally had the confidence to make
her first video in December. She hopes that it helps
her with future job opportunities. “I want this channel
to be a way for me to network and eventually lead to
being able to be a full-time freelance makeup artist!”
It’s hard to believe that this video-sharing website
was created only ten years ago. Originally, YouTube
was a place for celebrities to post their music videos,
but now ordinary people are sharing their stories
and what began as a hobby has in a few cases
become a career. All you need to do is press record.

The arrival of spring brings
sunshine, blooming flowers and
vines bursting with fresh grapes.
So what better way to add flavor
to your spring than a fun day
trip to a vineyard with some of
you best pals, or a creative and
romantic date!
Vineyard
Outing
Who: A vineyard trip is great for a special
girls day out to mix up your regular routine.
Come equipped with decorated, personalized
wine glasses (for some pinot noir or virgin
sangria) and a camera to document the day!
This outing would also make for a great
intimate date for couples.
What: Everyone knows that wine and cheese
makes the perfect pairing, so prepare some
cheese snacks to bring along, like our easy
Fondue To-Go. If you’re going with a big
crowd or having a vineyard party, create some
favors out of wine corks for your friends by
cutting a horizontal slice into the wine cork
to create a space to stick a name card in. If
your vineyard trip is the setting for a date,
bring along a blanket to sit on and some cards
or a game on your phone, like Catchphrase
or Heads-Up, to enjoy while drinking and
sharing your snacks!

Where: To make this dream trip a reality, you
and your group only need to drive about 20
minutes from campus! One option is Terrapin
Station Winery in Elkton, Maryland that
hosts many wine tasting events throughout
the year. Another nearby vineyard is
Paradocx Vineyard right outside of Delaware
in Landenberg, Pennsylvania.
UDress reminds all readers to only drink
responsibly over the legal age of 21 and
NEVER drink and drive.

Find beauty in many of life’s

inspire others with keys that would
have otherwise been discarded. The
company engraves an inspirational
quote on each key and turns it into
jewelry for others to wear. Do you
want to remember your first college
apartment? Turn your key from that
special place into a rose gold bracelet,
and engrave “home” on it in order
to cherish the memory forever. The
creator, Caitlin Crosby, an actress and
songwriter, wanted people to start
paying kindness forward. By rescuing
a forgotten key and making it into
something beautiful, The Giving
Keys is able to spread inspiration all
over the world. The keys represent
hope, and the spreading of love to
everyone!
Bet you didn’t think that the wrapper
from the bag of M&M’s that you
ate for dessert could be made into
someone’s purse. The Ecoist is a
company that uses all recycled candy
wrappers, newspapers or magazines
to create fashion-forward accessories.
These items are not only a huge
fashion statement, but they are also
extremely environmentally friendly.
Next time you are looking to buy a
gift for your best friend, consider a
Frito Lay wallet!
Make sure you consider the type of
fashion statement your trash could be
before throwing it away. Okay, maybe
your Mizu takeout box will never
become a hat, but there are many
recycled items that could become
trendy accessories. Recycle your
trash, because you never know what
will become the next hottest trend!

LAWN TWISTER: The classic game of human
knot just got more tangled with this larger than
life sized board! First gather up a pair of scissors,
an old piece of cardboard (half a pizza box works
great!) and spray paint in the signature red,
yellow, blue and green hues. Begin by cutting
out a large circle out of the cardboard to create a
stencil for the Twister dots. Place your stencil on
the grass and spray the inside to create a circle.
As for the spinner, use the one from your board
game, download the free app or be creative and
utilize the top of a pizza box.
NIGHT LIFE: Grab a light up frisbee from WalMart
or Dick’s Sporting Goods and a few packs of glow
sticks, to invite your crew over for glow in the
dark Ultimate Frisbee! Give each team color
coordinating glow bracelets so you’re sure who to
pass it to.
DIY PHOTO SHOOT: You just had a haul at
the outlets to spice up your summer wardrobe
and now it’s time to show off your new looks!
Challenge yourself to create killer outfits with
your new purchases. Invite your friends over to
join in and channel their favorite divas for the
camera.
SHINE BRIGHTER: Write cool secret messages to
your friends with glow in the dark chalk! Simply
mix fluorescent paint, water and Plaster of Paris
(a cement and water mixture used to patch a
hard surface) to achieve a desirable consistency.
Pour the contents of the bowl into an ice cube
tray, lined with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Put the chalk in the freezer for ten minutes and
then let it dry out for about 12 hours.
BALLOON DARTS: Make your own balloon
dartboard by fastening balloons to a piece of
wood or cardboard. Bonus points if you fill them
with water!
Have the best summer ever by
completing UDress’s backyard bucket
list! Enjoy a romantic night in, or summon
your friends for the field day style fun
you haven’t had in ages. The best part?
All these activities barely cost a dime.
