Hey ladies!
Some call it an obsession. I call it a passion! Shoes, shoes, and more shoes. In my MSU apartment, I have at least 300 pairs! I can’t help it. I see a great deal, and I have to get them. So, I figured I’d make a video showing off some shoes I love that you can buy right here in East Lansing. Now that’s something I’d leave my East Lansing apartment for! Check it out:
Hope you enjoy!

Like most of the female students at MSU, I am an Ugg boot owner. I wear them to keep warm and to keep my feet dry when I leave my MSU student apartment; however I am not quite the average Ugg owner. I have 9 pairs of them.
I don’t believe they will ever go “out of style”. But if they do, I will continue wearing them. They are the most comfortable form of footwear I have ever come across, and believe me, owning 9 pairs of boots, I am quite the shopper. Originally made for surfers to keep their feet warm after getting out of the ocean, I believe they can be worn to bed, after skiing, trudging through snow banks on MSU’s campus, and just about anywhere else. I wear Uggs with shorts, with leggings, with jeans, and even under my work pants.
They are the best boot ever made.
Uggs have a purpose in each of the 4 seasons as well. Fall- to look cute while at the MSU football games, Winter- obviously to keep warm, Spring- well in Michigan it’s still pretty cold, and Summer- for bonfires in the woods with friends.
Uggs are a necessity for all and I can say that each year I will faithfully go to Nordstrom’s and purchase my new pair, even if I’m 40 years old.

Scarves are one of those great accessories that are super versatil and can be worn all year round. And, I think I can vouch for everyone when I say most of us have a scarf lying around somewhere in our Michigan State student apartment. Whether you choose to wear it the traditional way, around your neck, or you mix it up by using it as a head wrap, or belt, scarves are very stylish! Winter is a great time for scarves and a compliment to many outfits. Here are directions on how to tie your scarf according to your style and to make a fashion statement! (If you are a guy that wants to learn the techniques, check out Kinowear’s blog for some more masculine looks).
How to tie scarves:
The Keyhole Scarf- this is a simple style that works well with longer scarves. You can do this with any type of material, and is good for anytime of the year. To tie a keyhole scarf, fold the scarf in half length-wise and wrap it around your neck, keep the looped end on one side and open ends on the other, slip the open ends through the loop and tighten. The ends will just dangle down wherever you choose.

For a dressier look, use the dress knot: Tie a knot in the middle of the scarf, secure the scarf behind your neck with a loose knot, adjust the front knot where you choose.

The warm winter scarf look, take a long scarf and place the middle of it around the front of your neck, then cross the ends behind your neck and back around to the front.

For square scarves, fold the scarf in half to form a triangle, hold in front of your neck with the corner pointing down, then wrap the ends around your neck and overlapping onto your shoulders.

The headscarf is a cute way to either accent a cute outfit or hide a bad hair day! If you are using a square scarf, fold it in half to make a triangle, wrap the two ends around your head and tie in a knot. For a headband style, fold the scarf lengthwise until you have the right thickness, then wrap around your head and tie in a knot.
If you’re having trouble tying your own scarf grab your roommate in your Michigan State apartment and have them tie it for you! hope you enjoy my scarf fashion tips!

The weather is changing and so are the trends for winter 2009. No matter what your budget or sense of style I have found some options for you that’s not too far from your East Lansing Student Apartment.
Back to black: From snakeskin boots to your favorite little black dress its all in style. Rich fabrics and deep textures are available everywhere from haute couture stores to your local Wal-Mart (which, is only a 5 minute drive from Chandler Crossings. My personal favorites for this trend are a few little black dresses, a one shoulder jersey knit cocktail dress from BCBG and a ruched V-neck belted option from Baby Phat.
What’s your favorite thing to wear this winter?
