7 Holiday Wardrobe Essentials
Emily Lowe

The holiday season is a busy time filled with a lot of parties and gatherings. Rather than blowing all of your gift money on new clothes for every event, buy yourself a few key essentials to pull out for whatever comes up!

1. The Little Black Dress

Perfect for a simple Christmas outing, that family dinner you forgot about, or dress it up with heels and jewelry for your friend's NYE house party.

lulus, $38

2. Midi Skirt

A midi skirt will be your best friend. Whether you're headed to Christmas Eve Mass or a Christmas Eve party, it'll work. Throw a cute cropped sweater on or a glitter tank and you're ready for anything.

anthropologie, $168

3. A Sweater for Anything

A nice knit sweater can be worn with anything. Throw it on with jeans or over your new midi skirt. Versatility is key.

Aerie, $26.97

4. Wool Coat

Don't keep throwing your North Face on over that gorgeous Christmas Eve dress. Look like a real live adult with a wool coat! You won't ruin your party look and you'll actually be warm.

Zara, $149

5. Tailored Pants

Not in the mood to shave your legs for every single holiday outing? I feel you, girl. Get yourself some party-worth pants that don't make you think of class presentations or summer jobs.

Gap, $69.95

6. Something Velvet

Throw on anything velvet and it's the holiday season for sure! A dress, a top, even velvet shoes will make you feel a little more festive.

ASOS, $38

7. Respectable Flats

You can't wear heels to everything. Your feet will hate you. Get yourself a pair of simple yet sophisticated flats to give your feet a break. They deserve it just as much as you do.

Target, $22.99

AI music threatens creativity

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.
