Styling Tips of the Week

By Brittney Xu     11/1/11 7:00pm

  • You can still wear your chiffon skirts and dresses in the winter, especially since it doesn't get too cold in Houston. For windy days, add a pair of bold hued tights to keep your legs warm and add more color to your look.
  • Layer a printed chiffon blouse or ruffled chiffon tank under an open knit sweater or brown bomber jacket to bring out a different color and texture to your outfit.
  • A chiffon maxi dress can be winterized by adding some tough black combat boots, which will contrast with the ethereal floating dress material.

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.
