Styling Tips of the Week

By Brittney Xu     9/28/11 7:00pm

  • Roll up your sleeves! Not only does it look better, but this adds polish to your outfit, as it shows you actually took the time to adjust the cuffs — giving the plaid shirt a preppy vibe.
  • On the other hand, if preppy isn't the look you're going for, layer a  thin cotton T-shirt under your plaid. This tee can be anything from a shirt for that grunge band you're into, or a graphic tee that brings out a color in your outfit.
  • For the ladies: if you're tired of plaid button ups, try wearing the pattern in a sleeveless  dress. As the weather gets colder, add a pair of solid grey knit tights or thigh-high socks for warmth.

Review: “Balloonerism” is a graceful tribute to Mac Miller’s legacy

Mac Miller’s “Balloonerism” is a delicate balancing act — a posthumous release that feels deeply personal yet walks the fine line between honoring an artist's legacy and commodifying it. Unlike other releases from late artists, which can feel like haphazard collections of half-finished demos (The Party Never Ends by Juice WRLD comes to mind), “Balloonerism” is a cohesive, almost ethereal work.

Review: “The Book of Mormon” involves no reading

“The Book of Mormon”, a flashy musical that is not at all biblically accurate, came to the Houston Hobby Center January 7-12. The musical makes a mockery of the typical mission work expected from Mormons, covering everything from their racism, attempts at forced conversion and inner-religious conflicts, all while tap-dancing and singing away.

Review: “Look Back” is short but powerful

“Look Back” is one of the best films of 2024. Inspired by the tragic 2019 Kyoto Animation arson attack, Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of “Chainsaw Man,” crafts a deeply moving tribute that transforms real-life sorrow into a story of resilience and connection.
