Weed Culture Has Grown To Be Couture

Its not secret that 29 out of the 50 states have legalized marijuanna, but has fashion started to legalize it too?No one says you have to be a "pothead" to love weed, and Who says you have to smoke weed to embrace it? Our California friends certaintly don't think so.There are so many stores that are popping up with weed themed garments. Take a look into weed couture and its "growing" trend.

When Miley Cyrus surprised us all with her pot inspired bodysuit, it was a sure thing that she would get scrutinized for it. Incredibly, the opposite happened! She started a revolution and now, marijuana inspired print is blowing up. Miley isn't the only celebrity who wants to wear “high-fashion.” We all know Rihanna is notorious for her risk-taking I don't give a... .attitude. So, it would only make sense that Rihanna rocks a glammed-up pot leaf. As a feminist icon, Rihanna empowers women to wear whatever makes you feel great. Celebrities always inspire streetwear trends, but the marijuana trend has finally gone couture.

Jeremy Scott has always been known for his electric colored clothing. Its boldness is what makes Jeremy Scott the perfect designer to crush weed-inspired couture. Jeremy’s company, Blank Space, functions as a fashion house seeking mostly cannabis friendly clients. Blank Space and Adidas teamed up to create the leaf motif, an edgy take on the popular plant.

In 2015, pot hit the runway. Mara Hoffman released her Spring RTW line featuring luminous motif patterns. Less than a year later, Alexander Wang came out with his cannabis-infused collection. Pot leaf motifs mixed with lace makes for a grungy-chic style. Is marijuana the new black?

Wondering how much it costs for sports luxury marijuana clothes? Designer, Saint Laurent, created a “Baja” hoodie which is valued at $1600 dollars. Talk about an expensive plant! Every couture piece has to come with the perfect accessories. Alexander Wang created a pot motif handbag worth over $500. The jewelry world has found ways of dazzling the pot leaf too. Designer, Jacque Aiche creates pieces that are inspired by nature. Her influence of weed is a statement of empowerment and a love for the earth. These luxury designers are breaking the "hippy-dippy" stigma about marijuana.

Picture this: you’re on point with your Alexander Wang leaf mini, when you suddenly realize clothing isn’t enough. You need more weed! Luckily, businesswomen, Cheryl Shuman, created a service where you can be in contact with weed-couture loving friends. Shuman founded The Beverly Hills Cannabis Club. It is the first luxury marijuana group. Also, One of the most influential women, Whoopi Goldberg, has created a line of luxury weed-based products. Her company, Whoopie and Maya, is about embracing weed culture and letting it empower you. Their lavish products include hemp scrubs and cannabis oils.

The High-life has become more than a silly pun.You are now able to strut in your real Mary Jane’s. I hope to see Ellie Saab and Marc Bouwer take the pot leaf to the runway. Cameron Diaz wearing pot leafs by Sabb? That would be something.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
