Conquering The Western Fashion Trend

... don't worry, you won't look like a cowboy.

Conquering The Western Fashion Trend

You may have noticed a certain trend breaking through the Fall/Winter clothing racks this year that seems far from the norm. Western fashion is being brought to the forefront of street styles, and I am totally here for it. I have been a fan of the Boho, Western trend for the past couple of years, but now it is evolving in a way that it can seamlessly make it into closets around the country.

I am here to show you how you too can add a bit of Western flare to your outfits. It may seem daunting to bring the clothing of the Great Frontier to your personal style, but simple accessories, or details of a garment, can elevate your ensemble to emulate this popular look.

Tops

Tops and sweaters with fringe are a great way to add dimension and flare to an outfit. These will not only keep you warm during the winter months, but add detail to an average cardigan or sweater.

Style it: I would pair this sweater alongside a pair of skinny jeans and booties. The sweater should be the focal point of the outfit.

Bottoms

Throughout the early 2010's, it seemed as if the only jean available were skinny jeans. As the decade has progressed, distressed denim has made itself the ultimate finish for a pair of jeans. Combing the distressed and Western styles allows for bell bottoms and flares to flatter an urban street style.
Raw hems, and slight distress marks on the denim can make the flared pants appear more modern and casual.

Style it: A simple top, graphic tee, or sweater will do the trick. The bell bottoms should be the point of emphasis in your outfit!

Shoes

Studs and other metal details are a great way to add a bit of pizazz to simple booties. These can be worn with skirts, skinny jeans, or even jean shorts during the summer, perfect for festival season!

Any pointed-toe boot also alludes to a classic cowboy boot. It also is very flattering by elongating the leg.

Using one of these pieces as a part of a whole ensemble will add the Western edge to an outfit that you're looking for.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
