Couture Buys for the College Budget: Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Recap

It happened. The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2011 hit CBS on November 30th.

Character Wear: Amelia Pond

Alright, I’ll admit it; it’s time to come clean.  I’m secretly (the people who know me personally would say not-so-secretly) a huge nerd.  I like Star Wars, I really like the SyFy Channel, I really, really like Harry Potter, and I love Lord of the 

Ever Present Past: Goddess Florence

Florence Welch seems to be the goddess of our time, and for good reason too! The 25-year-old singer takes much influence from the past. Her voice echoes from the speakers like some old turn-of-the-century record player scratching with the most beautiful loud voice escaping into
